Speaker 1 (00:01):
The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
EARLIERITI with one roof love where you live News Talk, sa'd.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Be good morning, Welcome to Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Is it time we stopped talking about Tom Phillips and
the kids?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Do we just leave them alone? Now?
Speaker 3 (00:16):
We'll go to our europe correspondent on the fact the
French can't pass a budget, debt spiraling, the PMS gone,
more kids here dropping out of school, But is that
necessarily a bad thing? Casey Costello joins US Live on
the latest organized crime report.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
The agenda.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
It is Thursday, oft tenth of September.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Israel's fired missiles under Doha trying to hit Hamas negotiators Nittanya,
who not sorry.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
At the beginning of the war, I promised that Israel
would reach those who perpetrated this horror, and today Israel
and I have kept that promise.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Nittanya, who also gave Trump a heads up about the strike.
Speaker 6 (00:56):
I have very little doubt in my mind the President
Trump approved this because it's very unlikely for Israel and
an American ally to send over ten tighter jets and drones
into an airspace where there's an American base without pre approval,
but also more importantly because President Trump tweeted on Sunday
that this is his last warning to Hamas and if
(01:17):
they don't accept the opera on the table, bad things are.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Going to happen.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Turnipaul now where it's all kicking off over the social
media ban and anti corruption protests Parliament. There has been
set on fire, nineteen deads, the Prime minister and cabinet
ministers putting on mass Earlier on.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
We could see violent classes between police and protesters, the police.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Pushing back the crowd using tear gas, ridden backers and
even bullets.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
In the US, lawmakers are hearing from witnesses claiming to
have seen UFOs and before you think they're just nutty, wacky,
you know, weird people, they include military veterans.
Speaker 7 (01:54):
The question is no longer whether these events are real,
but whether we have the courage to face them. True
leadership requires vision, a willingness to confront the unknown with
transparency and resolve. These phenomenon challenge are deepest assumptions about
reality consciousness, and are placed in the universe.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
NASA says there's still no credible evidence of extraterrestrial light.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with
Ryan Bridge and one roof Love where you Live news.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Talks had been They didn't say no evidence, did they.
They just said no credible evidence. Right.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
A lot to get through this morning quickly on the
Doha strikes from trying to get the Hummas leaders, actually
the guys who are there trying to negotiate a cease
fire have now been hit. Although according to Reuters who
reckon they've spoken to Hummas and the negotiators, they didn't
actually get them, So Israeli's trying to get them in
(02:53):
Doha didn't actually get a direct hit. The UK is
condemning this, and they were trying to get one particular
guy they're trying to kill, Khalil Alhayer. He's a big
dog in Humas and the hierarchy there. He was the
Guard's a chief. He's an exile in now in Doha
trying to do the negotiations. He's their top negotiator, basically
trying to get him, and looks like they haven't succeeded
in that. Here in New Zealand, we're about to hear
(03:15):
from Casey Costello. The last thing this country needs is
another bloody minister of the Crown or another portfolio. But
that is exactly what this organized crime report out this
morning we get the monthly has suggested. Here's some data
for you. Luxon's administration currently has a whopping eighty one
portfolios Ireland, Norway, Singapore, Finland countries. We like to compare
(03:42):
ourselves to similar populations fewer than twenty. We've got eighty
one the UK, Canada, the US career much bigger than us,
they've got fewer than thirty. Australia's population, as you know,
five times bigger than ours. Even they have half the.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Number of portfolios that we have.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
And I went right back to have a look to
even back to nineteen twenty five in New Zealand. This
is when Massey has died in office. He had a
cabinet of ten and about thirty portfolios. And then incomes
MMP and it's been creeping up and up successive governments.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Oh, we need a minister for or we need a
minister for the Salfa.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Do we No, we don't. It's too many chefs in
the kitchen. And the problem with this is that the
government departments they have to answer to these ever ballooning
myriad of eighty one ministerial portfolios and there's too much
overlap and duplication across the whole system. So now they
want a new minister.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
For organized crime. Isn't all organized crime? Still crime?
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Isn't that the cops? Wouldn't that be the Minister of Police?
I would have thought so. Anyway. Casey Costello has released
this report this morning, and we'll ask her that.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Next Views and Views You Trust to start your day.
It's early edition with Cryme Bridge and One Room Love
Where you Live.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
News Talks had been five point thirteen on news talks,
he'd be nine two nine two's the numbers to text.
Shane Jones has sent a memo to his boss. He
reckons we should consider renationalizing the Gen Taylor's. This is
part of the shakeup he wants for the energy sector.
Of course, we've got a gas shortage crisis. Gas sector
is affecting our manufacturing industry. We have had mills shut
(05:27):
up shop, We've had firm shut up shop blaming high
power prices. So he reckons at least consider renationalizing.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
The Gen Taylor's. What do we think of that? Nine
two nine two.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Breach.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Casey Costello, his colleague has got an Organized Crime task
Force and the latest report reckons we need to create
a new ministerial portfolio responsible for fighting it. The report
was out this morning. Casey Costello, Customs Minister, Associate Police
with US.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Now we'll minister, good morning, Hello, minister, can you hear me?
Good morning?
Speaker 8 (06:03):
Good morning?
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Ah there, we are good to have you on the program. Now,
I've read, We've spoken about these before. I've read all
these reports with great interest, and some of them been
quite good. But this one seems nuts to me. Do
we really need another ministerial portfolio?
Speaker 8 (06:17):
Well, I think what you're highlighting is the position of
the understanding of what organized crime is. We're not talking
about a new minister. We're talking about a minister responsible
for bringing this cohasion. We've done it before. We've had
the Border Executive Board was established during COVID, We've had
the COVID earthquake at Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority, the Infrastructure Commission,
(06:37):
the Center of Sexual Violence and Family Violence, where we
put responsible ministers in charge. This is about cohesion and
the challenge that we've got is that we have all
of these agencies doing small about the small amounts of things.
It's about ensuring that we understand why this is a
priority because at the end of the day, as you've
seen in the other reports, the cost is being paid
(06:58):
by the most vulnerable community and the poorest communities are
bearing the biggest brunt. And we need to ensure that
all of the agencies that can impact, effect, reduced to
ter disrupt organized crime have a cohesive response. And that's
what this report is asking for, and it's what I
asked the Ministerial Advisory Group to do is be bold,
(07:19):
be innovative, think about the things that can make us
most effective in this space, and that's what they're going for.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
So we wouldn't see a minister for organized crime specifically,
we would just see a police minister who has an
extra group working under them.
Speaker 8 (07:33):
Well, and this is the part is whether where this
responsibility sits. Is that we have you know, we have
leavers with an IOD, within the company's office, within customs,
within immigration. All of these agencies have responsibilities to have
an impact in this space, and how do we make
sure that our response is connected in the cohesive as
(07:55):
the criminals are. So that's what we're really asking for.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
So you will so when you RECOGNI into cabinet that
we get that. You know, we should have a new portfolio.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
As you've seen in the report, they want to make
the final report, which will be later this month, as
to how do we bring all of these recommendations together
to have the most impact. And I'll wait for that
final report as to how does this work. This is
just one of the aspects of all of the reports
they put forward and we'll look at that. But I
see there's in real merit.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
We've done it before.
Speaker 8 (08:24):
I mean we've in the eighties we set up the
Serious Fraud Office to respond to a specific type of criminals.
Ending we've done these things before. Let's look at what
the best solution is.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Has any of the stuff that has been recommended thus
far actually stopped any organized crime.
Speaker 8 (08:39):
We've seen a lot of cohesion coming through. We've we've
had a really good stepping up of the involvement of
ID We've done some innovative stuff around our response in
the Pacific, We've customs and police continue to work effectively.
We've seen a massive step change in the amount of
meth and I mean we're recovering. We're starting to see
(09:02):
that wastewater result tracking down We're definitely not there, but
we are seeing some impacts in this space.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
All right, Are you with Shane renationalized the gen.
Speaker 8 (09:10):
Taylor's Yeah, I mean, of course, I'm with Shane. I
think there's some real merits and what we can do.
We need an affordable economy and we need energy is
a huge part of us growing our economy.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
So you'd be in favor of renationalizing them.
Speaker 8 (09:26):
Well, you know, I think we need some better controls
over it, and that's what that's what we're asking for,
is we need to put New Zealanders first in this space.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
All right, Caseye, appreciate your time. Thanks so much for
being with me.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Casey Costello, the minister who's getting these organized crime reports.
It's just gone eighteen minutes after five. Y're on news
Talk said, big kids dropping out of school, biggest numbers
since two thousand and seven? Is it a bad thing?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
The news you need this morning and the in depth
analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Root Love
where you live news Talks, that'd be five on early edition.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
We'll get to the economic data really yesterday that is
of some concern about quarter two. More concerned about quarter
two A NOS attacks on Casey Costello, who was just
on the show. Ryan read the number of portfolios and government.
You are forgetting that here in New Zealand's is Alpha
New Plymouth. Good morning, Elf, you're forgetting here in New Zealand.
We might pro manage everything. We have layers of management
and organizations because we don't actually trust anyone to do
(10:21):
the job that they are paid for. Ryan, just another
made up job, says Grant. Sounds nuts and Marxis sounds
like a load of crap.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Thanks Mark.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Ryan Bridge concerned this morning that the governments change up
for the school curriculum could drive more students to drop out.
Early new data release to News Talk ZBS shows nearly
fourteen hundred and fifteen year olds got exemptions to leave
last year, the highest since two thousand and seven. But
the good news is ninety percent of them continued study
outside school and that was with largely with Tzapu Kinger
(10:52):
teaching two thy fifteen year olds in some capacity last year. Bruce, Sorry, Mark,
Bruce Miller is the CEO of Feno et Outdoors joined
us this morning. Mark, Good morning, Good morning. Right, School's
not for everyone if they are going elsewhere to study,
your work is it a problem.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
No, not at all.
Speaker 9 (11:09):
I think we have to recognize that school isn't for everyone,
but school also needs to be a place where all
learners can thrive and where all learners can feel success.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
What's your issue?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Because they're wanting to take outdoor read from the Senior
School General subject list.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Why is that a problem?
Speaker 4 (11:28):
That's a big problem for us?
Speaker 9 (11:30):
We as a specialists in outdoor education consistently demonstrate that
outdoor ED allows all students to flourish in areas that
are difficult to work on within classroom environments key employability
skills such as teamwork, leadership, communication, resilience, and initiative. Is
that opportunity is not available to all students, then there's
(11:54):
a problem. There is a proposal that it will be
offered for students on a vocational pathway, but that would
mean it wouldn't be available for anyone going through to
university on more of an academic pathway.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
So you can still take outdoor ED and go and
get a job, but you can't take outdoor ed and
go to UNI.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
As the proposal currently says.
Speaker 9 (12:16):
That is one of the risks. Yes, and yet we
know that we need all of our students when they're
leaving school to be as well rounded as it can,
to have worked on their leadership, initiative, problem solving, their
ability to manage risk and think critically under pressure. That's
what outdoor ed does.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
It's interesting because I did outdoor it at school and
then went to UNI, so I probably wouldn't have taken
that course if the current rules take place.
Speaker 9 (12:45):
That is very much the risk, and it's something that
we're concerned about because we see day in day out
the benefits of all of our students getting out of
the classroom feeling more connected to the natural environment, learning
all those skills.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
That I just listed, but also so critical.
Speaker 9 (13:01):
To their confidence, self management, and their overall.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Well be interesting, Mike, appreciate your time this morning.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Thank you, Mark Bruce Miller, CEO of penwa Et Outdoors.
Time is twenty three after five. You're on News Talk ZBB.
Got a bunch of numbers from stats n Z yesterday
which I want to run you through, and from Beef
and Lamb as well.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I also saw a movie on the weekend. Lots to
chat about.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
The early edition full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered
by Newstalks.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
VB News Talks VB it is five twenty five. Few
signs that you know you're getting older. I watched a
movie on Sunday with the group of friends. Here are
twelve things I learned. One, I wasn't hungover on the couch.
Uber eats and McDonald's from the sofa. That's a sign
that you're getting older. Number two. I took the extraordinary
measure of walking to the movies using perfectly capable legs,
(13:51):
even though they are a bit stiff, bit sore from
the gym.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Three.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
This means you have visited the gym four times this
week to ensure that you are will squeeze into that
ever shrinking seat that they put you in at the movies.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Four.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
You chat amongst yourselves quite loudly while the shorts are playing,
because well, you just don't give a flying shit about
that level of decorum any longer, do you. Nobody paid
for the shorts. They paid for the film. The rest
is marketing.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Five.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
The short you do watch has Leonardo DiCaprio, heart Throb
of youth, playing the cantankerous father figure, and a group
of young actors the children, and you have no.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Idea who they are. Five.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
You feel nostalgia that the movie is set in the
early two thousands. Six, You feel the young actors replicating
the style, the close, the heir bit lame, copying what
we clearly did better.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Eight.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
One of your friends has a moon boot on after
a fall that he took while we were out walking
over the weekend prior eight. At nine, you can't count.
You love the movie Court Stealing with Austin Butler. You
should go and see it if you haven't, not just
because it's good and it's a simple, hearty action thriller,
but because it's only an hour and a half long.
(15:05):
Ten That means only one toilet break, because it's impossible
to sit on six hundred and sixty miles of fizzy
water without the feeling that your bladder might explode into
a thousand pieces. Eleven The time frame is just enough
before you need to rearrange because you've got back pains,
always have sign you're getting older. Twelve are most importantly,
(15:27):
you laugh, You're enthralled, you have a good time.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
You feel pretty.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Content sitting there in the dark with your buddies, happy
in the knowledge that any worries you had going in
are a world away from the grungy Lower East side
of Manhattan, where the film is set. It's the little
things you notice that paint a picture of where your
life is at, how old you are, and how you
fit into the world of ever changing demographics. It's a
reminder to enjoy the good moments in life and the
(15:53):
people that make you happy, because one day we'll either
have dementia or be dead. Here's to middle age, halfway
dead and.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Just fine with that.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Bry and Bridge, It's twenty eight minutes after five nine
two nine two is the number to text very quickly.
We got a minute, all right. Beef and Lamb, So
Beef and Lamb's new season. Outlookers out. Red meat prices
are still at record highs and they are forecast to
remain strong. There's tight supply that keep prices up despite
the tariffs. The consumers are paying more for our beef
(16:25):
and lamb in the US, so they're just swallowing them literally.
And despite lower export volumes, earnings are up and expected
to rise by one point four billion to ten and
a half billion. This is for the twenty four to
twenty five season, so that is good. Export returns for
the coming season will hold steady. Sheep meat the Aussies
are exporting less, which will keep prices up beef. The
(16:48):
Brazilians their supply is tight and the demand from the
US is strong enough to swallow and absorb both the
Kiwi and Ossie supply. So basically the outlook is for
more of the same, which means more good news. News
talks there B coming up. After news, we will get
to our reporters around the country. We'll get to Gavin
(17:10):
Gray are Europe UK correspondent on France.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
The mess that is the budget and dit situation.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Plus is it time to stop talking about Tom Phillips?
Speaker 10 (17:24):
Hues the first word on the News of the Day
early edition with Ryan Bridge and One Route Love where
you Live News Talks B.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Good morning, it is twenty four minutes away from six
yer on news Talks.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
THEREB coming up.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Should we leave the Tom Phillips and the kid's story alone?
Now we'll head to our europe correspondent France. Choose through
another prime minister? There all the details, Avan Gray, Ryan, Yes,
it is time stop talking about Tom Phillips, says this text.
Let the police do their inquiry and peace. The children
need the privacy. We don't need updates constantly. I'm ready
(18:11):
to move on, says this text. Well, we will look
at that and talk about it just before six o'clock,
I mean ironically still talking about it, but talking about
not talking about it. Right Next Thursday is GDP day
for quarter two. How bad was the stall? That's the question.
So in the March quarter we were up point eight
percent and we got some big pieces of the puzzle.
Yesterday stats NZ had its manufacturing and its wholesale trade
(18:34):
data out. Not good news unfortunately, Manufacturing down two point
nine percent. That was after they were up two point
four for March. Value down one billion for that quarter.
Wholesale trade down point one versus a point three point
four increase for March. Manufacturing is a bit of a
shocker that number. Wholesale trade doesn't sound that bad, but
(18:56):
it was expected to be positive. Construction more bad news.
There no surprises. So where does this leave us? B
and Z has now dropped its forecast for quarter two
from zero point two percent to half a percent drop. Okay,
that is not good. Hapkins will be salivating about this.
The government, of course, will be pulling out all the
(19:18):
stops to spin it whichever way they can. Here's the
good news though, that this data is looking backwards, right,
So the period that we're talking about ended two and
a half months ago. And B and Z also says
that because of the swings, and although it's technical, it's
swings that means there's a good chance of a higher
bounce back for quarter three, which is the one we're
(19:39):
currently in. So for the current quarter they have revised
their forecasts up. They estimate that will go from what
they were expecting to be a half a percent bump
to a point seven percent bump. So you take away
you giveth to quarter three, what you taketh from quarter
two twenty two minutes away from six bred to our
(20:03):
reporters around the country, now, Jamie Cunningham for Dunedin, Jamie,
good morning, good to have you on the program.
Speaker 11 (20:10):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Right, Dunedin's biggest stadium has no AXE booked for next year.
Speaker 11 (20:15):
Yeah, that's right. Forsyth Bar Stadium has zero events booked
past November, and of course more competition lies ahead with
christ Church is one new Zealand stadium opening in April. Now,
in the past it's hosted Alton John, ed Sheeran, The
Red Hot Chili Peppers and Fleetwood Mac Now ed Sharon
has snubbed Dunedin for christ Church in his January tour
(20:36):
and Dunedin. Benu's chief executive Paul Dawn admits it's a
gray period at the moment, but he sees me working
closely with promoters and things are in the pipeline now.
Dawn see's most recent events have revolved around rugby, so
there's a focus on attracting other events as well.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
All right, how's the weather, Jamie.
Speaker 11 (20:55):
Cloud increasing with showers developing this morning and strong westerlies
this afternoon and high of eleven.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Nice one, thank you clear, christ Church clear, good morning,
good morning. So you've got noise limits on the agenda.
Speaker 12 (21:09):
Yeah, absolutely so public feedbank has been gathered on this one.
Ryan and the Cisians are now going to be made
on this proposal to increase See Central City's noise restrictions
from sixty to sixty five Yes of our LAEQ. That's
a measure of continuous sound. Council's senior Engagement advisor Hannah
Valentine says that eighty seven percent of Public Feedbank submitters
(21:32):
have supported the Council's proposed to increase. She says they
believe that would support nighttime economy, increase vibrancy, nightlife, the
arts and culture scene, and would be perfectly supported.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
On the slip side, there are.
Speaker 12 (21:45):
Some concerns that the noise limit could impact the equality
of life's health and comfort of residents who should be prioritized.
Counselors will be discussing it at today's council meeting.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
All right, how's your weather fline?
Speaker 12 (21:58):
It first for the rain a bit later, could be
heavy and sundry, with hail being clearing by night. Northeasterly
is about strong southway from this afternoon and a high
at six steam.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
All right, Tiger Brolly, Thanks Clear Mix and Wellington Max.
Good morning, Good morning, still going on about the city
to see bridge.
Speaker 13 (22:15):
Well, people are still talking about it, and we are
reflective of demand, so yes we are. We're still trying
to get to answers about this thing. For those not
familiar the large timber and concrete crossing and artwork over
the harbor, we do know it is scheduled to be demolished,
much to the chagrin of many here at Wellington. But
when exactly and why the rush? With a local election
(22:36):
coming in a few weeks and a majority of candidates
seemingly calling for the work to be put on pause.
We now understand demolition very likely won't begin proper until
that election. It's still going to be a few weeks.
Despite fences going up cordering it off. This week, protests
have been taking place at the site instead. We understand
there's artwork attached to the bridge that needs to be
(22:59):
removed first, and with the artist's permission as well. And
I do believe that message why rush may may be
starting to get through at the council and if the
next mayor or whomever feels strongly enough about looking at
better alternatives for saving this thing, I do think there
is scope for it still to be saved.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Okay, how's your weather?
Speaker 13 (23:18):
Early rain, then mostly overcast, very strong northwesterlies fourteen the
high in the Central City.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I heard that text yesterday.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Yeah, somebody takes in set because normally, how would you
say it normally?
Speaker 13 (23:29):
Well, because we're you know, it's a large region. There
are different highs and different parts central would refer to
Central City. That's my probably anal retentive thing that I do.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Right, Because are you British? British?
Speaker 13 (23:42):
Did you say yeah, perhaps a little British.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Yeah, yeah, because I think that's what they were getting at.
I was saying, is it a British thing that you
end it with Central, you know, High fifteen Central.
Speaker 13 (23:51):
Or is it possibly possibly that's ingrained in me. I
would like to point out though that I may sound British,
but I've lived in this country for over twenty years.
I'm going to be the into about that.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Right, settled down, precious Max and Wellington, Thanks Max, Neivas
and Oak and I love there.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Today I'm going to call him British. Well, I'm going
to call them British Max.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Now, right, guess opposed to the West Aukland Licensing Trust monopoly,
that's right.
Speaker 14 (24:19):
Hoping for a takeover in this year's election though, so
as we know, you know west Aukland residency of voting
for representatives to guide the policy. This is on the
trust that local elections. Now, the West Aalkland Licensing Trust
Action Group, they've come out they want a referendum on
ending the monopoly. They want more bars obviously out West,
reducing the number of Poky's next male candidate. He says, Look,
(24:41):
the group's hoping it can improve on the previous results
which saw I think they had two candidates elected to
the portage and wantuckety boards. So yeah, the papers arrived
yesterday local bid the voting papers. Did you get yours?
Speaker 2 (24:52):
I did?
Speaker 11 (24:53):
Yes.
Speaker 14 (24:53):
I love looking at that brochure, you know when you
see the reading, the bios and all of that, because
you know, if you don't know everyone and you've got
a tick se I think in the photos. Photos are important.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Yeah they are. They give you a bit of a
sense of that's.
Speaker 14 (25:05):
Right and if you don't know them. I always go
by photos. Who's good looking, who's not? Who's young?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
All great? How did Wane Brown get in? Hey? How's
that with them? Shall some heavy?
Speaker 7 (25:20):
Im?
Speaker 14 (25:20):
Possibly sundry?
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Hey?
Speaker 14 (25:22):
Hey fine break? So late morning. This is a nineteen
is the high here in Auckland, in central Max Auckland Central.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
We are going to Europe, our Europe correspondence, Kevin Gray
standing by next news talk set be. If you run
a small business, you know the pain of waiting to
get paid so annoying. You finish the job, you send
the invoice, and then you spend weeks chasing people up
like some sort of dick collector. Zero's Tap to Pay
powered by Stripe changes all of this. Your customer taps
the card on your phone. Boom, you paid on the spot.
(25:52):
No fancy payment terminal needed, just the zero accounting app.
Here's the really smart bit though. Once the payment goes
through the invoices automatically marked is paid in zero, ready
to be reconciled. Less admin less marking around with all
the paperwork, more time running your actual business. You know
what you should be doing. It's secure, it's instant, and
it keeps your cash flow moving instead of grinding to
(26:14):
a halt every month. Except payments on the spot. As
soon as the job's complete. No more awkward I'll get
that invoice to you conversations. The more businesses this could genuine.
For most businesses, I should say this could be genuine
game changer, especially the small ones. Less time chasing late payments,
more time focusing on what you do best. Supercharge your
(26:35):
business with zero tap to pay, getting paid disc got
a whole lot easier search, zero tapped to.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Pay, international correspondence with ends and eye insurance. Peace of
mind for New Zealand business.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
So Emmanuel Marcroon's got to pick a new Prime Minister
after the last one got the boots. Gavin Gray is
our europe UK correspondent with US this morning, Gavin, Who's
he going to pick?
Speaker 15 (27:00):
There's a few of different characters that may might pick.
But the question is how long is he going to
take to do it? And that is because at the moment,
of course, France has seen us pretty raddless and indeed
we are expecting a decision later on in the week
from those that are in the know about the financial
position of France, which currently incidentally has a debt equivalent
(27:22):
to roughly one hundred and fourteen percent of its economic
output a year is three point three trillion euros in debts,
so roughly six trillion New Zealand dollars and Fitch is
due to make a decision the credit rating on Friday
about how much they rate what is going on in France,
and if they decide that their rating is demoted, that
(27:43):
could make it more costly for France to borrow. So
the clock is ticking, and more than that, Tomorrow, Wednesday,
our time is.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Going to do.
Speaker 15 (27:52):
A day of protests is really what it's called. They're
calling this source block on two, which in English means
let's block everything. Police are planning to put on eighty
thousand extra officers. People are being told don't drive into
Paris because we can't really guarantee what's going to be
going on. People are saying this should effect right across France,
all the different unions going into this, and I'm afraid
(28:14):
France at the moment looks like it is listing from
side to side with Emmanuel Macron needing to make that
decision soon.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
And even does it matter who the new prime minister is,
because you're still going to have this problem of the
three groups that the blocks lift sent to end right,
none with the majority and can't agree on anything.
Speaker 15 (28:32):
No, absolutely, And so that's why I think many people
are saying Macron himself needs to resign, because he was
the one that called the election to strengthen his hand
after some disastrous elections in Europe, and it did the
complete opposite. It weakened his hand. And now they've had
in his second term very little decisions being made because
they can't get anything through Parliament. So this is big
(28:52):
for France. Plenty of people are saying, look, all we
need to do is tax the rich more. That'll reduce
our debt. But I think a lot of peoplere skeptical
that there's going to be that amount of money that's
going to sort that debt out. So there are some
different candidates coming forward, but who can please the left,
the right, in the middle, And the answer is probably no.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
One mission impossible. Gavin, Thank you, Gavin Gray Are UK
europe correspondent. It's ten to six, Brian Bridge, the Muttercopa kids.
They're now safe, they're in the hands of auditing, a tammodiki,
but they'll now face a lengthy court and reintegration process
could take years. So what do we do in the meantime?
Jane cele Child Matters CEO with Me Live. Jane, good morning,
Good morning Ryan. You reckon, it's time to leave this
(29:33):
story alone.
Speaker 16 (29:35):
I absolutely do. I think it's understandable why this has
been such a big story. But these children are not
public property. We do not have to know everything about
them and about their lives or we need to know
is that there's safe and that the well And it's
really a question of social responsibility.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
A lot of people on the text machine that'll fight
up about this. This morning I mentioned we were going
to talk Ryan. It's healthy to debate and ask questions
for people to understand and find the truth.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
That is the tenor of the tech. So what do
you reckon?
Speaker 4 (30:02):
No?
Speaker 16 (30:02):
I disagree. I think there's not an interest for these children.
They have got a lengthy re integration into their new
reality and time to build their new lives that will
be years in the making, and so for then to
be public property of for that to be part of
a public story is not healthy for those children. And
I don't think that we have a right to that
in this age of reality TV. I think sometimes the
(30:24):
boundaries get blurred, but we have to do what's in
the best interest.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Of these children.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
What's worse because people are talking about it and are
going to talk about it and will be interested in it.
Is it worse for the media to do that or
for social media to fill the void?
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Well?
Speaker 16 (30:39):
I don't thinking stop social media, can you? I think
responsible reporting around us, and I think we've sent some
good reporting is very important. But again we don't need
to know the details. It's not in the children's interests
after what they've been through. I don't think it's much
to us that we're given some space and some privacy
from there on.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
All right.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Jane Ceyl child Matter's CEO News talks their b it's
eight to six.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Get ahead of the headlines on a billy edition with
Ryan Bridge and one roof Love where you Live News talks,
that'd be.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Six to six news talks.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
There'd be high drama at Terminal four Heathrow Airports. People
twenty one people fell ill and they were like, oh,
is this a chemical weapon? Is there a gas leak?
What is going on? Emergency services rushed to the scene
and cops determine it was probably more likely than not
a case of mass hysteria. It's a thing, apparently psychogenic illness,
(31:33):
anxiety based psychogenic illness. This has happened before at a
high school in New York where everybody started getting motor
ticks and twitches. Wasn't them, it was just in their heads.
Anxiety based cases. They went to a New Zealand researcher
on this The Guardian this morning. Anxiety based cases were
typically trippered by the sudden perception of a toxic agent.
So basically, you smell something, you see other people convulsing,
(31:56):
and you think you'll sick. Two five to six Bridge,
Mike's in the studio this morning, Mike, good Morning's.
Speaker 17 (32:02):
Why when you go to the doctor and you go
and they go, Yeah, everyone's got it. That's how it works,
isn't it actually funny enough. We've got a thing on
the you know, the digital thing they launched recently where
you go to the doctor digitally if you can't get
into your local doctor. Yeah, it's a it's a hit.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
I see that.
Speaker 17 (32:17):
So it's a nice line between. It's an interesting line
I suppose between because doctor is a bit worried about it,
because but I mean, if you look at go to
the GP, most times you go to the GP, there's
nothing profound. Is it's I'm a bit unwell.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
I've got I've got a head ache. Whatever.
Speaker 17 (32:31):
Therefore, if you can fix that technically.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
On a phone, on a phone, what's the GPS have
always said this is bad for us because then all
of your quick profitable cases will go to the phone
and we'll be left with the really complex ones which
take time, and we won't make as much money and
we'll be put out of business exactly.
Speaker 17 (32:47):
But you, as a punter, don't really care. If you
can't get to your doctor and you can online, then
what's the matter. School leaving fifteen is interesting me because
I left school at sixteen, Yes I did, and I
couldn't wait to leave school fifteen. Yeah, back in the
or late forties, just when we came home from the war.
So and I said, I got to get I've still
got the PTSD. I need to get out of school anyway,
(33:07):
So I left school. But the thing that you don't
these days want to sort of dismiss that is, you know,
kids leaving, but if you're leaving for something, which they are,
to Polytech or whatever that may be. Because we've got
this fascination with going to UNI, haven't we.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (33:21):
I know, I know when I was younger, I wanted
to go to UNI, and my dad said, no, go and.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Get a trade there you go, And what happened? I
went to UNI, did you? And we've got what? Well?
I got?
Speaker 3 (33:31):
I got a commence degree in an arts degree. Good
on never used the arts No, hey, we didn't use
the arts degree.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Where did you go out? From school?
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Radio?
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Straight to radio?
Speaker 17 (33:42):
I've been radio my entire life. I started my radio
career fi years ago, six one hundred. Well, it was
wireless back in those days, and Arnt Daisy was my
favorite person.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
For being a gun. Micah's next news talk said be.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
For more from early edition with Ryan Bridge. Listen live
to news talks it Be from five am weekdays, or
follow the podcast on iHeartRadio
The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
EARLIERITI with one roof love where you live News Talk, sa'd.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Be good morning, Welcome to Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Is it time we stopped talking about Tom Phillips and
the kids?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Do we just leave them alone? Now?
Speaker 3 (00:16):
We'll go to our europe correspondent on the fact the
French can't pass a budget, debt spiraling, the PMS gone,
more kids here dropping out of school, But is that
necessarily a bad thing? Casey Costello joins US Live on
the latest organized crime report.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
The agenda.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
It is Thursday, oft tenth of September.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Israel's fired missiles under Doha trying to hit Hamas negotiators Nittanya,
who not sorry.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
At the beginning of the war, I promised that Israel
would reach those who perpetrated this horror, and today Israel
and I have kept that promise.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Nittanya, who also gave Trump a heads up about the strike.
Speaker 6 (00:56):
I have very little doubt in my mind the President
Trump approved this because it's very unlikely for Israel and
an American ally to send over ten tighter jets and drones
into an airspace where there's an American base without pre approval,
but also more importantly because President Trump tweeted on Sunday
that this is his last warning to Hamas and if
(01:17):
they don't accept the opera on the table, bad things are.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Going to happen.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Turnipaul now where it's all kicking off over the social
media ban and anti corruption protests Parliament. There has been
set on fire, nineteen deads, the Prime minister and cabinet
ministers putting on mass Earlier on.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
We could see violent classes between police and protesters, the police.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Pushing back the crowd using tear gas, ridden backers and
even bullets.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
In the US, lawmakers are hearing from witnesses claiming to
have seen UFOs and before you think they're just nutty, wacky,
you know, weird people, they include military veterans.
Speaker 7 (01:54):
The question is no longer whether these events are real,
but whether we have the courage to face them. True
leadership requires vision, a willingness to confront the unknown with
transparency and resolve. These phenomenon challenge are deepest assumptions about
reality consciousness, and are placed in the universe.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
NASA says there's still no credible evidence of extraterrestrial light.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with
Ryan Bridge and one roof Love where you Live news.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Talks had been They didn't say no evidence, did they.
They just said no credible evidence. Right.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
A lot to get through this morning quickly on the
Doha strikes from trying to get the Hummas leaders, actually
the guys who are there trying to negotiate a cease
fire have now been hit. Although according to Reuters who
reckon they've spoken to Hummas and the negotiators, they didn't
actually get them, So Israeli's trying to get them in
(02:53):
Doha didn't actually get a direct hit. The UK is
condemning this, and they were trying to get one particular
guy they're trying to kill, Khalil Alhayer. He's a big
dog in Humas and the hierarchy there. He was the
Guard's a chief. He's an exile in now in Doha
trying to do the negotiations. He's their top negotiator, basically
trying to get him, and looks like they haven't succeeded
in that. Here in New Zealand, we're about to hear
(03:15):
from Casey Costello. The last thing this country needs is
another bloody minister of the Crown or another portfolio. But
that is exactly what this organized crime report out this
morning we get the monthly has suggested. Here's some data
for you. Luxon's administration currently has a whopping eighty one
portfolios Ireland, Norway, Singapore, Finland countries. We like to compare
(03:42):
ourselves to similar populations fewer than twenty. We've got eighty
one the UK, Canada, the US career much bigger than us,
they've got fewer than thirty. Australia's population, as you know,
five times bigger than ours. Even they have half the.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Number of portfolios that we have.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
And I went right back to have a look to
even back to nineteen twenty five in New Zealand. This
is when Massey has died in office. He had a
cabinet of ten and about thirty portfolios. And then incomes
MMP and it's been creeping up and up successive governments.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Oh, we need a minister for or we need a
minister for the Salfa.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Do we No, we don't. It's too many chefs in
the kitchen. And the problem with this is that the
government departments they have to answer to these ever ballooning
myriad of eighty one ministerial portfolios and there's too much
overlap and duplication across the whole system. So now they
want a new minister.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
For organized crime. Isn't all organized crime? Still crime?
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Isn't that the cops? Wouldn't that be the Minister of Police?
I would have thought so. Anyway. Casey Costello has released
this report this morning, and we'll ask her that.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Next Views and Views You Trust to start your day.
It's early edition with Cryme Bridge and One Room Love
Where you Live.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
News Talks had been five point thirteen on news talks,
he'd be nine two nine two's the numbers to text.
Shane Jones has sent a memo to his boss. He
reckons we should consider renationalizing the Gen Taylor's. This is
part of the shakeup he wants for the energy sector.
Of course, we've got a gas shortage crisis. Gas sector
is affecting our manufacturing industry. We have had mills shut
(05:27):
up shop, We've had firm shut up shop blaming high
power prices. So he reckons at least consider renationalizing.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
The Gen Taylor's. What do we think of that? Nine
two nine two.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Breach.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Casey Costello, his colleague has got an Organized Crime task
Force and the latest report reckons we need to create
a new ministerial portfolio responsible for fighting it. The report
was out this morning. Casey Costello, Customs Minister, Associate Police
with US.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Now we'll minister, good morning, Hello, minister, can you hear me?
Good morning?
Speaker 8 (06:03):
Good morning?
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Ah there, we are good to have you on the program. Now,
I've read, We've spoken about these before. I've read all
these reports with great interest, and some of them been
quite good. But this one seems nuts to me. Do
we really need another ministerial portfolio?
Speaker 8 (06:17):
Well, I think what you're highlighting is the position of
the understanding of what organized crime is. We're not talking
about a new minister. We're talking about a minister responsible
for bringing this cohasion. We've done it before. We've had
the Border Executive Board was established during COVID, We've had
the COVID earthquake at Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority, the Infrastructure Commission,
(06:37):
the Center of Sexual Violence and Family Violence, where we
put responsible ministers in charge. This is about cohesion and
the challenge that we've got is that we have all
of these agencies doing small about the small amounts of things.
It's about ensuring that we understand why this is a
priority because at the end of the day, as you've
seen in the other reports, the cost is being paid
(06:58):
by the most vulnerable community and the poorest communities are
bearing the biggest brunt. And we need to ensure that
all of the agencies that can impact, effect, reduced to
ter disrupt organized crime have a cohesive response. And that's
what this report is asking for, and it's what I
asked the Ministerial Advisory Group to do is be bold,
(07:19):
be innovative, think about the things that can make us
most effective in this space, and that's what they're going for.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
So we wouldn't see a minister for organized crime specifically,
we would just see a police minister who has an
extra group working under them.
Speaker 8 (07:33):
Well, and this is the part is whether where this
responsibility sits. Is that we have you know, we have
leavers with an IOD, within the company's office, within customs,
within immigration. All of these agencies have responsibilities to have
an impact in this space, and how do we make
sure that our response is connected in the cohesive as
(07:55):
the criminals are. So that's what we're really asking for.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
So you will so when you RECOGNI into cabinet that
we get that. You know, we should have a new portfolio.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
As you've seen in the report, they want to make
the final report, which will be later this month, as
to how do we bring all of these recommendations together
to have the most impact. And I'll wait for that
final report as to how does this work. This is
just one of the aspects of all of the reports
they put forward and we'll look at that. But I
see there's in real merit.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
We've done it before.
Speaker 8 (08:24):
I mean we've in the eighties we set up the
Serious Fraud Office to respond to a specific type of criminals.
Ending we've done these things before. Let's look at what
the best solution is.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Has any of the stuff that has been recommended thus
far actually stopped any organized crime.
Speaker 8 (08:39):
We've seen a lot of cohesion coming through. We've we've
had a really good stepping up of the involvement of
ID We've done some innovative stuff around our response in
the Pacific, We've customs and police continue to work effectively.
We've seen a massive step change in the amount of
meth and I mean we're recovering. We're starting to see
(09:02):
that wastewater result tracking down We're definitely not there, but
we are seeing some impacts in this space.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
All right, Are you with Shane renationalized the gen.
Speaker 8 (09:10):
Taylor's Yeah, I mean, of course, I'm with Shane. I
think there's some real merits and what we can do.
We need an affordable economy and we need energy is
a huge part of us growing our economy.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
So you'd be in favor of renationalizing them.
Speaker 8 (09:26):
Well, you know, I think we need some better controls
over it, and that's what that's what we're asking for,
is we need to put New Zealanders first in this space.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
All right, Caseye, appreciate your time. Thanks so much for
being with me.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Casey Costello, the minister who's getting these organized crime reports.
It's just gone eighteen minutes after five. Y're on news
Talk said, big kids dropping out of school, biggest numbers
since two thousand and seven? Is it a bad thing?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
The news you need this morning and the in depth
analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Root Love
where you live news Talks, that'd be five on early edition.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
We'll get to the economic data really yesterday that is
of some concern about quarter two. More concerned about quarter
two A NOS attacks on Casey Costello, who was just
on the show. Ryan read the number of portfolios and government.
You are forgetting that here in New Zealand's is Alpha
New Plymouth. Good morning, Elf, you're forgetting here in New Zealand.
We might pro manage everything. We have layers of management
and organizations because we don't actually trust anyone to do
(10:21):
the job that they are paid for. Ryan, just another
made up job, says Grant. Sounds nuts and Marxis sounds
like a load of crap.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Thanks Mark.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Ryan Bridge concerned this morning that the governments change up
for the school curriculum could drive more students to drop out.
Early new data release to News Talk ZBS shows nearly
fourteen hundred and fifteen year olds got exemptions to leave
last year, the highest since two thousand and seven. But
the good news is ninety percent of them continued study
outside school and that was with largely with Tzapu Kinger
(10:52):
teaching two thy fifteen year olds in some capacity last year. Bruce, Sorry, Mark,
Bruce Miller is the CEO of Feno et Outdoors joined
us this morning. Mark, Good morning, Good morning. Right, School's
not for everyone if they are going elsewhere to study,
your work is it a problem.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
No, not at all.
Speaker 9 (11:09):
I think we have to recognize that school isn't for everyone,
but school also needs to be a place where all
learners can thrive and where all learners can feel success.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
What's your issue?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Because they're wanting to take outdoor read from the Senior
School General subject list.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Why is that a problem?
Speaker 4 (11:28):
That's a big problem for us?
Speaker 9 (11:30):
We as a specialists in outdoor education consistently demonstrate that
outdoor ED allows all students to flourish in areas that
are difficult to work on within classroom environments key employability
skills such as teamwork, leadership, communication, resilience, and initiative. Is
that opportunity is not available to all students, then there's
(11:54):
a problem. There is a proposal that it will be
offered for students on a vocational pathway, but that would
mean it wouldn't be available for anyone going through to
university on more of an academic pathway.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
So you can still take outdoor ED and go and
get a job, but you can't take outdoor ed and
go to UNI.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
As the proposal currently says.
Speaker 9 (12:16):
That is one of the risks. Yes, and yet we
know that we need all of our students when they're
leaving school to be as well rounded as it can,
to have worked on their leadership, initiative, problem solving, their
ability to manage risk and think critically under pressure. That's
what outdoor ed does.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
It's interesting because I did outdoor it at school and
then went to UNI, so I probably wouldn't have taken
that course if the current rules take place.
Speaker 9 (12:45):
That is very much the risk, and it's something that
we're concerned about because we see day in day out
the benefits of all of our students getting out of
the classroom feeling more connected to the natural environment, learning
all those skills.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
That I just listed, but also so critical.
Speaker 9 (13:01):
To their confidence, self management, and their overall.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Well be interesting, Mike, appreciate your time this morning.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Thank you, Mark Bruce Miller, CEO of penwa Et Outdoors.
Time is twenty three after five. You're on News Talk ZBB.
Got a bunch of numbers from stats n Z yesterday
which I want to run you through, and from Beef
and Lamb as well.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I also saw a movie on the weekend. Lots to
chat about.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
The early edition full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered
by Newstalks.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
VB News Talks VB it is five twenty five. Few
signs that you know you're getting older. I watched a
movie on Sunday with the group of friends. Here are
twelve things I learned. One, I wasn't hungover on the couch.
Uber eats and McDonald's from the sofa. That's a sign
that you're getting older. Number two. I took the extraordinary
measure of walking to the movies using perfectly capable legs,
(13:51):
even though they are a bit stiff, bit sore from
the gym.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Three.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
This means you have visited the gym four times this
week to ensure that you are will squeeze into that
ever shrinking seat that they put you in at the movies.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Four.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
You chat amongst yourselves quite loudly while the shorts are playing,
because well, you just don't give a flying shit about
that level of decorum any longer, do you. Nobody paid
for the shorts. They paid for the film. The rest
is marketing.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Five.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
The short you do watch has Leonardo DiCaprio, heart Throb
of youth, playing the cantankerous father figure, and a group
of young actors the children, and you have no.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Idea who they are. Five.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
You feel nostalgia that the movie is set in the
early two thousands. Six, You feel the young actors replicating
the style, the close, the heir bit lame, copying what
we clearly did better.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Eight.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
One of your friends has a moon boot on after
a fall that he took while we were out walking
over the weekend prior eight. At nine, you can't count.
You love the movie Court Stealing with Austin Butler. You
should go and see it if you haven't, not just
because it's good and it's a simple, hearty action thriller,
but because it's only an hour and a half long.
(15:05):
Ten That means only one toilet break, because it's impossible
to sit on six hundred and sixty miles of fizzy
water without the feeling that your bladder might explode into
a thousand pieces. Eleven The time frame is just enough
before you need to rearrange because you've got back pains,
always have sign you're getting older. Twelve are most importantly,
(15:27):
you laugh, You're enthralled, you have a good time.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
You feel pretty.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Content sitting there in the dark with your buddies, happy
in the knowledge that any worries you had going in
are a world away from the grungy Lower East side
of Manhattan, where the film is set. It's the little
things you notice that paint a picture of where your
life is at, how old you are, and how you
fit into the world of ever changing demographics. It's a
reminder to enjoy the good moments in life and the
(15:53):
people that make you happy, because one day we'll either
have dementia or be dead. Here's to middle age, halfway
dead and.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Just fine with that.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Bry and Bridge, It's twenty eight minutes after five nine
two nine two is the number to text very quickly.
We got a minute, all right. Beef and Lamb, So
Beef and Lamb's new season. Outlookers out. Red meat prices
are still at record highs and they are forecast to
remain strong. There's tight supply that keep prices up despite
the tariffs. The consumers are paying more for our beef
(16:25):
and lamb in the US, so they're just swallowing them literally.
And despite lower export volumes, earnings are up and expected
to rise by one point four billion to ten and
a half billion. This is for the twenty four to
twenty five season, so that is good. Export returns for
the coming season will hold steady. Sheep meat the Aussies
are exporting less, which will keep prices up beef. The
(16:48):
Brazilians their supply is tight and the demand from the
US is strong enough to swallow and absorb both the
Kiwi and Ossie supply. So basically the outlook is for
more of the same, which means more good news. News
talks there B coming up. After news, we will get
to our reporters around the country. We'll get to Gavin
(17:10):
Gray are Europe UK correspondent on France.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
The mess that is the budget and dit situation.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Plus is it time to stop talking about Tom Phillips?
Speaker 10 (17:24):
Hues the first word on the News of the Day
early edition with Ryan Bridge and One Route Love where
you Live News Talks B.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Good morning, it is twenty four minutes away from six
yer on news Talks.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
THEREB coming up.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Should we leave the Tom Phillips and the kid's story alone?
Now we'll head to our europe correspondent France. Choose through
another prime minister? There all the details, Avan Gray, Ryan, Yes,
it is time stop talking about Tom Phillips, says this text.
Let the police do their inquiry and peace. The children
need the privacy. We don't need updates constantly. I'm ready
(18:11):
to move on, says this text. Well, we will look
at that and talk about it just before six o'clock,
I mean ironically still talking about it, but talking about
not talking about it. Right Next Thursday is GDP day
for quarter two. How bad was the stall? That's the question.
So in the March quarter we were up point eight
percent and we got some big pieces of the puzzle.
Yesterday stats NZ had its manufacturing and its wholesale trade
(18:34):
data out. Not good news unfortunately, Manufacturing down two point
nine percent. That was after they were up two point
four for March. Value down one billion for that quarter.
Wholesale trade down point one versus a point three point
four increase for March. Manufacturing is a bit of a
shocker that number. Wholesale trade doesn't sound that bad, but
(18:56):
it was expected to be positive. Construction more bad news.
There no surprises. So where does this leave us? B
and Z has now dropped its forecast for quarter two
from zero point two percent to half a percent drop. Okay,
that is not good. Hapkins will be salivating about this.
The government, of course, will be pulling out all the
(19:18):
stops to spin it whichever way they can. Here's the
good news though, that this data is looking backwards, right,
So the period that we're talking about ended two and
a half months ago. And B and Z also says
that because of the swings, and although it's technical, it's
swings that means there's a good chance of a higher
bounce back for quarter three, which is the one we're
(19:39):
currently in. So for the current quarter they have revised
their forecasts up. They estimate that will go from what
they were expecting to be a half a percent bump
to a point seven percent bump. So you take away
you giveth to quarter three, what you taketh from quarter
two twenty two minutes away from six bred to our
(20:03):
reporters around the country, now, Jamie Cunningham for Dunedin, Jamie,
good morning, good to have you on the program.
Speaker 11 (20:10):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Right, Dunedin's biggest stadium has no AXE booked for next year.
Speaker 11 (20:15):
Yeah, that's right. Forsyth Bar Stadium has zero events booked
past November, and of course more competition lies ahead with
christ Church is one new Zealand stadium opening in April. Now,
in the past it's hosted Alton John, ed Sheeran, The
Red Hot Chili Peppers and Fleetwood Mac Now ed Sharon
has snubbed Dunedin for christ Church in his January tour
(20:36):
and Dunedin. Benu's chief executive Paul Dawn admits it's a
gray period at the moment, but he sees me working
closely with promoters and things are in the pipeline now.
Dawn see's most recent events have revolved around rugby, so
there's a focus on attracting other events as well.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
All right, how's the weather, Jamie.
Speaker 11 (20:55):
Cloud increasing with showers developing this morning and strong westerlies
this afternoon and high of eleven.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Nice one, thank you clear, christ Church clear, good morning,
good morning. So you've got noise limits on the agenda.
Speaker 12 (21:09):
Yeah, absolutely so public feedbank has been gathered on this one.
Ryan and the Cisians are now going to be made
on this proposal to increase See Central City's noise restrictions
from sixty to sixty five Yes of our LAEQ. That's
a measure of continuous sound. Council's senior Engagement advisor Hannah
Valentine says that eighty seven percent of Public Feedbank submitters
(21:32):
have supported the Council's proposed to increase. She says they
believe that would support nighttime economy, increase vibrancy, nightlife, the
arts and culture scene, and would be perfectly supported.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
On the slip side, there are.
Speaker 12 (21:45):
Some concerns that the noise limit could impact the equality
of life's health and comfort of residents who should be prioritized.
Counselors will be discussing it at today's council meeting.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
All right, how's your weather fline?
Speaker 12 (21:58):
It first for the rain a bit later, could be
heavy and sundry, with hail being clearing by night. Northeasterly
is about strong southway from this afternoon and a high
at six steam.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
All right, Tiger Brolly, Thanks Clear Mix and Wellington Max.
Good morning, Good morning, still going on about the city
to see bridge.
Speaker 13 (22:15):
Well, people are still talking about it, and we are
reflective of demand, so yes we are. We're still trying
to get to answers about this thing. For those not
familiar the large timber and concrete crossing and artwork over
the harbor, we do know it is scheduled to be demolished,
much to the chagrin of many here at Wellington. But
when exactly and why the rush? With a local election
(22:36):
coming in a few weeks and a majority of candidates
seemingly calling for the work to be put on pause.
We now understand demolition very likely won't begin proper until
that election. It's still going to be a few weeks.
Despite fences going up cordering it off. This week, protests
have been taking place at the site instead. We understand
there's artwork attached to the bridge that needs to be
(22:59):
removed first, and with the artist's permission as well. And
I do believe that message why rush may may be
starting to get through at the council and if the
next mayor or whomever feels strongly enough about looking at
better alternatives for saving this thing, I do think there
is scope for it still to be saved.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Okay, how's your weather?
Speaker 13 (23:18):
Early rain, then mostly overcast, very strong northwesterlies fourteen the
high in the Central City.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I heard that text yesterday.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Yeah, somebody takes in set because normally, how would you
say it normally?
Speaker 13 (23:29):
Well, because we're you know, it's a large region. There
are different highs and different parts central would refer to
Central City. That's my probably anal retentive thing that I do.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Right, Because are you British? British?
Speaker 13 (23:42):
Did you say yeah, perhaps a little British.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Yeah, yeah, because I think that's what they were getting at.
I was saying, is it a British thing that you
end it with Central, you know, High fifteen Central.
Speaker 13 (23:51):
Or is it possibly possibly that's ingrained in me. I
would like to point out though that I may sound British,
but I've lived in this country for over twenty years.
I'm going to be the into about that.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Right, settled down, precious Max and Wellington, Thanks Max, Neivas
and Oak and I love there.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Today I'm going to call him British. Well, I'm going
to call them British Max.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Now, right, guess opposed to the West Aukland Licensing Trust monopoly,
that's right.
Speaker 14 (24:19):
Hoping for a takeover in this year's election though, so
as we know, you know west Aukland residency of voting
for representatives to guide the policy. This is on the
trust that local elections. Now, the West Aalkland Licensing Trust
Action Group, they've come out they want a referendum on
ending the monopoly. They want more bars obviously out West,
reducing the number of Poky's next male candidate. He says, Look,
(24:41):
the group's hoping it can improve on the previous results
which saw I think they had two candidates elected to
the portage and wantuckety boards. So yeah, the papers arrived
yesterday local bid the voting papers. Did you get yours?
Speaker 2 (24:52):
I did?
Speaker 11 (24:53):
Yes.
Speaker 14 (24:53):
I love looking at that brochure, you know when you
see the reading, the bios and all of that, because
you know, if you don't know everyone and you've got
a tick se I think in the photos. Photos are important.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Yeah they are. They give you a bit of a
sense of that's.
Speaker 14 (25:05):
Right and if you don't know them. I always go
by photos. Who's good looking, who's not? Who's young?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
All great? How did Wane Brown get in? Hey? How's
that with them? Shall some heavy?
Speaker 7 (25:20):
Im?
Speaker 14 (25:20):
Possibly sundry?
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Hey?
Speaker 14 (25:22):
Hey fine break? So late morning. This is a nineteen
is the high here in Auckland, in central Max Auckland Central.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
We are going to Europe, our Europe correspondence, Kevin Gray
standing by next news talk set be. If you run
a small business, you know the pain of waiting to
get paid so annoying. You finish the job, you send
the invoice, and then you spend weeks chasing people up
like some sort of dick collector. Zero's Tap to Pay
powered by Stripe changes all of this. Your customer taps
the card on your phone. Boom, you paid on the spot.
(25:52):
No fancy payment terminal needed, just the zero accounting app.
Here's the really smart bit though. Once the payment goes
through the invoices automatically marked is paid in zero, ready
to be reconciled. Less admin less marking around with all
the paperwork, more time running your actual business. You know
what you should be doing. It's secure, it's instant, and
it keeps your cash flow moving instead of grinding to
(26:14):
a halt every month. Except payments on the spot. As
soon as the job's complete. No more awkward I'll get
that invoice to you conversations. The more businesses this could genuine.
For most businesses, I should say this could be genuine
game changer, especially the small ones. Less time chasing late payments,
more time focusing on what you do best. Supercharge your
(26:35):
business with zero tap to pay, getting paid disc got
a whole lot easier search, zero tapped to.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Pay, international correspondence with ends and eye insurance. Peace of
mind for New Zealand business.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
So Emmanuel Marcroon's got to pick a new Prime Minister
after the last one got the boots. Gavin Gray is
our europe UK correspondent with US this morning, Gavin, Who's
he going to pick?
Speaker 15 (27:00):
There's a few of different characters that may might pick.
But the question is how long is he going to
take to do it? And that is because at the moment,
of course, France has seen us pretty raddless and indeed
we are expecting a decision later on in the week
from those that are in the know about the financial
position of France, which currently incidentally has a debt equivalent
(27:22):
to roughly one hundred and fourteen percent of its economic
output a year is three point three trillion euros in debts,
so roughly six trillion New Zealand dollars and Fitch is
due to make a decision the credit rating on Friday
about how much they rate what is going on in France,
and if they decide that their rating is demoted, that
(27:43):
could make it more costly for France to borrow. So
the clock is ticking, and more than that, Tomorrow, Wednesday,
our time is.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Going to do.
Speaker 15 (27:52):
A day of protests is really what it's called. They're
calling this source block on two, which in English means
let's block everything. Police are planning to put on eighty
thousand extra officers. People are being told don't drive into
Paris because we can't really guarantee what's going to be
going on. People are saying this should effect right across France,
all the different unions going into this, and I'm afraid
(28:14):
France at the moment looks like it is listing from
side to side with Emmanuel Macron needing to make that
decision soon.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
And even does it matter who the new prime minister is,
because you're still going to have this problem of the
three groups that the blocks lift sent to end right,
none with the majority and can't agree on anything.
Speaker 15 (28:32):
No, absolutely, And so that's why I think many people
are saying Macron himself needs to resign, because he was
the one that called the election to strengthen his hand
after some disastrous elections in Europe, and it did the
complete opposite. It weakened his hand. And now they've had
in his second term very little decisions being made because
they can't get anything through Parliament. So this is big
(28:52):
for France. Plenty of people are saying, look, all we
need to do is tax the rich more. That'll reduce
our debt. But I think a lot of peoplere skeptical
that there's going to be that amount of money that's
going to sort that debt out. So there are some
different candidates coming forward, but who can please the left,
the right, in the middle, And the answer is probably no.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
One mission impossible. Gavin, Thank you, Gavin Gray Are UK
europe correspondent. It's ten to six, Brian Bridge, the Muttercopa kids.
They're now safe, they're in the hands of auditing, a tammodiki,
but they'll now face a lengthy court and reintegration process
could take years. So what do we do in the meantime?
Jane cele Child Matters CEO with Me Live. Jane, good morning,
Good morning Ryan. You reckon, it's time to leave this
(29:33):
story alone.
Speaker 16 (29:35):
I absolutely do. I think it's understandable why this has
been such a big story. But these children are not
public property. We do not have to know everything about
them and about their lives or we need to know
is that there's safe and that the well And it's
really a question of social responsibility.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
A lot of people on the text machine that'll fight
up about this. This morning I mentioned we were going
to talk Ryan. It's healthy to debate and ask questions
for people to understand and find the truth.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
That is the tenor of the tech. So what do
you reckon?
Speaker 4 (30:02):
No?
Speaker 16 (30:02):
I disagree. I think there's not an interest for these children.
They have got a lengthy re integration into their new
reality and time to build their new lives that will
be years in the making, and so for then to
be public property of for that to be part of
a public story is not healthy for those children. And
I don't think that we have a right to that
in this age of reality TV. I think sometimes the
(30:24):
boundaries get blurred, but we have to do what's in
the best interest.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Of these children.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
What's worse because people are talking about it and are
going to talk about it and will be interested in it.
Is it worse for the media to do that or
for social media to fill the void?
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Well?
Speaker 16 (30:39):
I don't thinking stop social media, can you? I think
responsible reporting around us, and I think we've sent some
good reporting is very important. But again we don't need
to know the details. It's not in the children's interests
after what they've been through. I don't think it's much
to us that we're given some space and some privacy
from there on.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
All right.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Jane Ceyl child Matter's CEO News talks their b it's
eight to six.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Get ahead of the headlines on a billy edition with
Ryan Bridge and one roof Love where you Live News talks,
that'd be.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Six to six news talks.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
There'd be high drama at Terminal four Heathrow Airports. People
twenty one people fell ill and they were like, oh,
is this a chemical weapon? Is there a gas leak?
What is going on? Emergency services rushed to the scene
and cops determine it was probably more likely than not
a case of mass hysteria. It's a thing, apparently psychogenic illness,
(31:33):
anxiety based psychogenic illness. This has happened before at a
high school in New York where everybody started getting motor
ticks and twitches. Wasn't them, it was just in their heads.
Anxiety based cases. They went to a New Zealand researcher
on this The Guardian this morning. Anxiety based cases were
typically trippered by the sudden perception of a toxic agent.
So basically, you smell something, you see other people convulsing,
(31:56):
and you think you'll sick. Two five to six Bridge,
Mike's in the studio this morning, Mike, good Morning's.
Speaker 17 (32:02):
Why when you go to the doctor and you go
and they go, Yeah, everyone's got it. That's how it works,
isn't it actually funny enough. We've got a thing on
the you know, the digital thing they launched recently where
you go to the doctor digitally if you can't get
into your local doctor. Yeah, it's a it's a hit.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
I see that.
Speaker 17 (32:17):
So it's a nice line between. It's an interesting line
I suppose between because doctor is a bit worried about it,
because but I mean, if you look at go to
the GP, most times you go to the GP, there's
nothing profound. Is it's I'm a bit unwell.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
I've got I've got a head ache. Whatever.
Speaker 17 (32:31):
Therefore, if you can fix that technically.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
On a phone, on a phone, what's the GPS have
always said this is bad for us because then all
of your quick profitable cases will go to the phone
and we'll be left with the really complex ones which
take time, and we won't make as much money and
we'll be put out of business exactly.
Speaker 17 (32:47):
But you, as a punter, don't really care. If you
can't get to your doctor and you can online, then
what's the matter. School leaving fifteen is interesting me because
I left school at sixteen, Yes I did, and I
couldn't wait to leave school fifteen. Yeah, back in the
or late forties, just when we came home from the war.
So and I said, I got to get I've still
got the PTSD. I need to get out of school anyway,
(33:07):
So I left school. But the thing that you don't
these days want to sort of dismiss that is, you know,
kids leaving, but if you're leaving for something, which they are,
to Polytech or whatever that may be. Because we've got
this fascination with going to UNI, haven't we.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (33:21):
I know, I know when I was younger, I wanted
to go to UNI, and my dad said, no, go and.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Get a trade there you go, And what happened? I
went to UNI, did you? And we've got what? Well?
I got?
Speaker 3 (33:31):
I got a commence degree in an arts degree. Good
on never used the arts No, hey, we didn't use
the arts degree.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Where did you go out? From school?
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Radio?
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Straight to radio?
Speaker 17 (33:42):
I've been radio my entire life. I started my radio
career fi years ago, six one hundred. Well, it was
wireless back in those days, and Arnt Daisy was my
favorite person.
