Speaker 1 (00:01):
The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
earlier show with one roof Love where you Live News Talk,
sa'd be good.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Morning, Welcome to Monday, just gone six after five. Coming
up on the show this morning, new visas to fill
farming and agricultural jobs. Why not hire the two hundred
thousand jobs seeker beneficiaries we've got sitting around the country.
The Greens reckon they'll lead the next government. Nice to
be ambitious, isn't it. Andrew Ordison on the passing of
Peter Lester Gavin Gray in the UK for us this morning,
(00:34):
This plan to try and get people free tickets to
the Oasis concerts a fascinating one. We'll unpack that. It
is seven after five.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
The Agenda, Monday.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
The eleventh of August. The world's been reacting to Nittanyahu's
planning to take over Gaza City. There's been a UN
Security Council meeting. The UK, France and others have warned
it could bridge international law.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
We turned two in order to hey assure our security,
remove Kamas there, enable the population to be free of it.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Meanwhile, let's hear from the Europeans, no, we won't. Actually
the Europeans a bit quiet at the moment, but they
are getting behind and trying to support a plan to
basically save Gaza City from Netan. Yahoo. We've got more
(01:27):
details this morning on the medium between Trump and Putin.
This is over Ukraine. They'll meet in Alaska Saturday, a
time the White House has been deciding whether to invite
Zelinsky as well. Meanwhile, again the Europeans, well, they reckon
Zelensky must be.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
There, and all the partners share the same understanding of
the need for a cease fire, for an end to
the killings. Only one actor stands against this. His only
card is the ability to kill, and he is trying
to sell the cessation of killings at the highest possible.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
And it's the story that just keeps on giving. This
is the Mushroom Keller lady. In Australia, the courts revealing
that Aaron Patterson allegedly tried to poison her husband multiple times,
even with cookies. She said that their daughter had baked.
We've got the police interview video.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
You've described to the relationship with your Picks partner, Simon.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
I like to understand boy.
Speaker 7 (02:28):
Had his parents and his uncle and I be over
for lunch because I've gotten other family.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I think Simon hated and I still had a relationship
with his parents.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I love them.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
Bridge and one roof love where you Live.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
News Talk said, be she's gone nine after five, News
Talk said, b. This story out of Northland on as
He'd be this morning, quite alarming. This is a spate
of murders they've had up there, so things are so
bad and it does paint quite a grim picture. But
ninety extra police officers are being sent to Northland because
crime's so out of control and they literally don't have
(03:10):
enough police officers to man the streets themselves and to
actually investigate all the crime that's going on. Police have
said that this is a quote expensive, unsustainable and short
term solution. They are on temporary five week rotations. Nine
alleged homicides this year in Northland. Do you know what
(03:33):
the interesting thing is? The EWI. The EWI is crying
out for more police on the front line. They say
the lack of police in Northland is dire, with FARO
losing confidence that police would even respond or investigate to
a reported crime. So here you've got people who are
feeling vulnerable, wanting police and not confident that they'll come.
(03:57):
Their big worry the EWI is child abuse investigations. They
reckon that some child abuse investigations are being parked up
because the officers are busy on homicides. And you contrast
this with those numpties down in Wellington from the Green
Party who say defund the police, and which is all
(04:20):
very trendy, of course, but completely out to sea, completely
out of touch with the real needs of poor communities
in New Zealand, which who are crying out literally for
police officers so that they may feel safe in their
own homes. Go figure eleven. After five News Talkers Bryan Bridge,
News Talks zib I also talk a little bit about
(04:42):
Chippy and his debt ceiling, because that looks like it's
on the move as well. This morning News Talks EDB.
Coming up next, we've got Andrew Orderson with Sport and
then we're to the Greens speaking of while an old
Green who seems to think that they will that the
Green Party will lead the next government. Believe it or not.
News Talks, heb News.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
And Views you Trust. To start your day, It's early
edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof love Where you live,
News talks ab.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
News talks here b has just gone thirteen minutes after
five Ryan. I live in the Far North and the
meth problem here is so bad. This is about the
reason we have ninety police officers from around the country
supporting Northland right now because they literally have too much
crime on their hands. They've got nine alleged homicides this
year alone. Ryan, it doesn't feel like a safe place
(05:34):
to be. Very aggressive young people nowadays stealing and hurting people.
Clearly they are just on drugs. They have a habit
and they're trying to feed it. Isn't that sad? And
you look at the numbers on meth in New Zealand
and particularly in Northland. Actually I was talking to a
guy out there a couple of weeks ago who said
that with the water something that they get the wastewater testing,
(05:55):
that's how you tell how much myth is being consumed
in a place like Northland. And they said, well, actually,
most people aren't on town water. They've got their own septic.
You're not even reading half of what's up there, which
is a scary thought, isn't it. Anyway? The reinforcements the
cavalryes in there and ninety extra police officers are rotating
in and out to help them with their crime problem.
(06:17):
Fourteen minutes after five. Maybe the Greens will help with
it too. The Greens want to lead the next government.
Speaker 8 (06:27):
We're not just here to leave the opposition.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
We are here because we want to leave the Lae comment.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
This is from their event at the weekend colead to
Chloe's Fabrick admits they've quote got work to do with
polling just under ten percent and labor in the early thirties,
so how's this going to work? Cassin Dale Hunt is
a former Green Party in p joins me this morning. Catherine,
good morning. How are you?
Speaker 7 (06:56):
Yeah, well, I'm gooc You're going to trying to be
the next government.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Do you think that's a little ambitious of them?
Speaker 7 (07:04):
I think politicians of smaller parties are required to talk
like this. I also think there is a really strong
need in this country this time to stop the incredible
damage being done to communities and to the environment by
the current government, and so leadership is required, and I
think that the Greens and Party Mardi are going to
(07:26):
need to be strong in order to push labor out
of the center to actually do some very strong, brave
and authentic work to get rid of this government and
actually make a country that is it looks after its
people and environment. Again, so you know, go for it,
but you've got to go for it realistically by building
(07:48):
relationships with the other small party on the left and
making sure that there is a realistic and brave approach
right now because people are looking for it.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
So you reckon, they need to better integrate themselves with
T Party Maori and increase them and increase the bargaining gun.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
I think that those parties have tativity policies in common.
I think they both care about the inequality gap. I
think they both care about the state of the environment.
So I think that they have to you know, parties
have to compete for the version the current system. But
there is also a really strong need for both those
parties to build their vote so that they can negotiate
(08:31):
strongly with labor so that we can have some genuine
procreessive policy. I mean, for example, the Greens have got
a very decent tax policy. Labor need to come up
with some really strong policy.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
It's strong, it's a strong, it's an out there policy.
I don't know if it's good.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
Well on your politics, I think there's the care of
people through good taxes and ex What.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Would be your for the Greens going into this, What
is the bottom line? What's the one area that they
should not compromise on.
Speaker 7 (09:02):
I don't really think like that, Ryan, but I think
if you're going to talk about it, these two bottom lines.
One is we have to do something about the gross
inequality that this government is entrenching, and we have to
do in all kinds of fronts. And we also have
to protect our environments for future generations. And those are
two things that absolutely as well as protected tededity or
(09:24):
White Segney. There's a terrible attack right now on Marty
by this government and on t TDT.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
So those are.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Three things they have to be done. They can be done,
but you actually have to be brave to do them
and show some leadership.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Catherine, appreciate your time this morning, Captain Dallah Hunty, former
Green Party MP. It is eighteen minutes after five. We'll
get to Andrew Orison's Sport next.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Ryan Bridge on earlier this year with one route Love
where you live News talks.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
That'd be good morning, Happy Monday, Della Hunty is delusional.
You can imagine the text we're getting after speaking to
Katain and Dellah Hunty from the Greens this morning. Vie
and I'm so sick of the left bloe leading on
about in the quality when they spent six years spending
all of the money and an equality got worse, says Mike.
It is twenty minutes after five, but it's get to
(10:11):
Andrew Ortison's sport Andrew, good morning, Greeting's Ryan. Here's some
very sad news. We'll talk about the Warriors. That sad news,
but some very different type of sad news, different type
of sad news about the passing of Peter Leicster.
Speaker 9 (10:23):
Yeah, genuinely sad news. And that Pete Lester is such
a yachting great member of the of the yachting fraternity
over so many years, I mean, was an excellent sailor
in his own right over the years Admiral's Cup, one
time Cup, America's Cup, but the intender's attention to the
the world of commentary, et cetera and in the media,
(10:44):
and was just such an engaging voice to listen to
on the America's Cup coverage over so many editions.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Yeah, amazing voice and Olympic and by all accounts, great
guy behind the mic, great guy in person.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (10:56):
I had the pleasure of meeting Peter or probably two
or three times a very sports journalists dinners and functions, ceremonies,
et cetera. And he was very down to worth and
and very much as you heard him on air. So no,
just to you reflect on that said news this morning,
because he was just such a part of that coverage
(11:17):
for so many years and had such a successful career
in the yachting lace. Now the Warriors Warriors, I think,
looking shaky, But then this is the ride we go
on every year with the Warriors, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
But yeah, they're they're Yeah.
Speaker 9 (11:31):
Top four ambitions are looking a bit dicey for starters,
especially with Penrith coming back into the reckoning what four
rounds to go? They're clinging on.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Yeah, take a bit of a miracle to get anywhere meaningful.
Speaker 9 (11:47):
Well, I don't know. The Warriors are capable of turning
things around. It doesn't take much, true, And this is well,
we're in for an interesting four weeks, are we, with
the four rounds together season well plus presumably playoffs. We'll
see there are only four points out away from being
ninth now anyway, okay, it.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Was looming more than to the top four.
Speaker 10 (12:06):
I was looking at that over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Black Caps.
Speaker 9 (12:10):
Yeah, I thought there was a promising display. Actually in
Zimbabwe they introduced some new talent. I mean it wasn't
the I suppose the greatest of a memorable fixture or
series over the course of time, but just the introduction
of some of those players into the reckoning. Of course,
a number of players out injured in the way for
various reasons, but they would have got quite a lot
(12:31):
out of that, particularly with the I mean the pace
bowling for starters, with Zach Falkes coming into the reckoning,
Matt Fisher, Jacob Duffy all performing credibly, Matt Henry leading
the way with the board. Of course, the batter is
all performed in that second test Ryan, So yeah, it
was a solid showing and they did all they needed
to do and then convincing victories on both occasions.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
All right, very good. Meanwhile, cyclist Corbyn Strong, this is
the Kiwi who's in Norway winning the Arctic Race.
Speaker 9 (12:59):
Yeah, I think it's worthy of reflections when he's up
against some strong opposition four stage race, the Arctic Race
of Norway, and Strong has come up. Trump's really he's
done superbly well, and he's ended up in what they
call the Midnight Sun Jersey, so up in sort of
reindeer Santa Claus type country up there, Northern Lights Territory,
Ryan and Corbyn. Strong has delivered over the course of
(13:23):
those stages. So he's been triumphant this morning, brilliant.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Lovely to hear that, and lovely to see you, Andrew,
thank you so right. Likewise, Andrew Allison was spot this morning,
twenty three minutes after five year old News Talks. He'd
be the text machines going but bonkers at the moment
with feedback on the Greens. We'll get to some of
that shortly. Also, we'll talk about the meeting that's happening
Putin and Trump. Well, that's great, but what about Zelensky
(13:48):
All going to go down in Alaska Friday local time,
Saturday our time. We'll talk about that next.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
The early edition Full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered
by News Talks Evy News Talks.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
There'd be twenty six minutes after five. You've got to
feel for Vodimir Zelenski. On weeks like this, Saturday is
the big day Friday their times Saturday hours. Pusan will
fly to Alaska and meet with Trump for a cup
of tea in a biscuit. Lovely, they will hash out
the terms of a ceasefire for what the Russians are
calling the Ukraine crisis, rather than a bloody war that
(14:24):
they started. The body count is astonishing. It's as astonishing
as the fact that there is a war raging in
Europe and twenty twenty five one million Russian soldiers have
been killed or injured four hundred thousand for the Ukrainian side,
including sixty to one hundred thousand dead. The Russians now
(14:44):
occupy about twenty percent of Ukraine. And the guy responsible
for this hell fire is not being dragged by some
soldiers into an international criminal court to face charges. No,
he's about to be welcomed, wined and dined by the
most powerful man in the world to discuss the terms
for a ceasefire, which includes keeping land that is not
(15:05):
entitle too. If we put ourselves in Ukrainian shoes for
just a second, if war was to return to the
Pacific theater, it would be like Washington and Beijing meeting
to decide that China can keep and occupy all of
the land north of Auckland simply because they took it,
and you meant to sit back and be grateful that
(15:27):
at least the fighting will stop. Ukrainians certainly aren't ready
to roll over on territory. The Europeans are huddling around
Zelenski now to give them some moral support, but they
need more than cuddles and handshakes to bandage over what
must feel like an insult to their country and to
their sovereignty. Two global superpowers meeting far far away in
(15:51):
Alaska and deciding the fate of their nation brands gone
twenty eight minutes after five Interesting story this morning. Did
you know Freddy Mercury had a secret love child? Well
that's the rumor. So there's a new book coming out.
This is by Leslie Ann Jones, a tell All, and
(16:11):
she claims, which is apparently something his in a circle
is known about for a while, but who would know.
She claims that Freddy Mercury, he of Queen fame, had
a secret daughter. And there's a quote from this daughter
who's living as an adult forty eight years old in Europe. Somewhere.
Freddie Mercury was and is my father. We had a
(16:35):
very close and loving relationship from the moment I was
born and throughout the final fifteen years of his life.
He adored me and was devoted to me. Little known
about this woman other than she is a medical professional
working somewhere in Europe, and she claims that Freddy Mercury
gave her seventeen journals that cover the final years of
(16:57):
his life. The closest thing to an autoboroiography, she says,
from Freddie Mercury, we won't know, will be until she
comes forward with the journals. Until then you can read
all about it in this new book that's coming out.
Twenty nine minutes after five News Talk said B. We'll
get to our reporters and then to Gavin Gray in
(17:17):
the UK.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
The news you need this morning and the in depth
analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and one roote love
where you Live. News Talk said B were.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
Down sad.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Good morning it is when you pour away from the
six News Talk, said B. Coming up before six o'clock.
The Europeans are rallying around Zelenski. This is ahead of that
big Trump hoot meeting in Alaska. On Saturday, We're live
to London and New Visits for Farmers will have details
for you on that Chloe Swarbrough potentially been the finance minister.
You might have heard that in the news, Ryan, the
(18:13):
day of the Greens and to party Marty take power.
We'll see a rapid decline as we head into third
world status. Ryan. Let's give Chloe the checkbook. What could
possibly go wrong? Ryan? Hearing your news that Chloe wants
to hold the finance portfolio gives me a good laugh.
Nothing like a good joke to start the week. Ryan,
it'd be a nightmare. Don't let it happen. Well, I mean,
(18:33):
that's not up to me, that's up to the people
of this country. However, I would just make one note
that I would trust my dog as finance minister before
I trust Chloe Swarbrook. She sleeps most of the time,
does Fanny does a lot of sleeping, lot of resting,
And crucially she cannot sign or write any checks. So
to be a very cheap time, it's Finance Minister twenty
(18:54):
three minutes after sorry, twenty three minutes away.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
From six, Ryan Bridge.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Let's get to our reporters around the country. Colum Proctor
and Dunedan Cullum. Good morning morning. Right now, police on
the hunt there for the shooter of a sea lion.
Speaker 11 (19:08):
Yeah, this is senseless act of cruelty. Police calling on
the public actually to help them find the culprits behind this.
The shooting of endangered sea lions over the weekend. Three
in fact were shot at the mouth of the Waititucky
River near Omaru on Saturday. Two of them were killed
sadly third had to be euthanized. One or the third
had to be euthanized at the scene. So police working
(19:29):
closely with the Department of Conservation here and they also
are asking anyone with any information to get in contact.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Okay, how's your weather.
Speaker 11 (19:38):
Mostly cloudy with a few showers for our Monday southwesterlies
and ten today.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Brilliant. Thank you, clais In Christ your take clear. Good morning,
Good morning to you. Now we've got this revolt going
over the rural police changes.
Speaker 12 (19:50):
I know this is what we were all about last week,
as you will recall, and very late on Friday, in fact,
just as we were logging out for the week, police
announced that they had made a U turn on the
public consultation around rural policing restructures and they will in
fact take public feedback until August eighteen. Of course, they
say that this is a departure from normal process, but
(20:11):
it comes following a week of public outcry. You know
that there were those community halls packed with hundreds of people.
Talkback lines were certainly chokers with feedback here on news
Talk said b Federated Farmers is one group that was
very vocal about not only the proposal but the process
being followed. Provincial President Carl Dean says it's simply a
flawed process. Police changing their minds, he says, is just
(20:34):
a lip service. He says they've been forced into this
public consultation, which should have been what they did from
the beginning. He says the short turnaround indicates to him
that this is not proper consultation. That said people should
have their say up until August eighteenth. Okay, and weather
cloudy with a few showers again today, southerly's and a
high of nine.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Nice one. Thanks Claire Lachland, Rennie Wellington Lachland, good morning.
Speaker 10 (20:57):
Warning.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Ran A coroner's highlighted the risk to elderly people and
the dangers that they face in house fires.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
Yes.
Speaker 10 (21:04):
So this all comes as ninety four year old Margaret
Gill died in hospital in December after a fire started
in a blend Him home while she was cooking. Now,
the coroner's report into her death out this morning, states
fifty five percent of fire deaths in the past five
years are people aged sixty five or over, many living alone.
Fire emergencies urging those with elderly family members to ensure
(21:25):
smoke alarms are working and escape plans in place. Free
home safety visits are also offered to ensure elderly people
have the best chance of survival in the event of
a house fire.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
All right, how's the weather in Wellington this morning, Lockland.
Speaker 10 (21:37):
Yes, there's a few occasional showers, some strong southerlies which
will ease in the morning, and a high of nine.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Degrees brilliant, Thanks mate. Michael Sergele is in Auckland and
there's a well are we going to get any merrial debates?
That's the question this morning, Michael.
Speaker 8 (21:51):
Yeah, that's the big question. Will Wayne Brown commit to
taking part in mail debates for Auckland's upcoming elections councilor
kre and leone one of the eleven people standing against
on for the job since she wants to see some
debates scheduled. I've been asking the Auckland mayor whether he'll
take part.
Speaker 9 (22:06):
I realised the chance to debate the ministers, the chance
to debate issues.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
I've heard of most of those people.
Speaker 10 (22:13):
I'm open to talk and answer questions from anybody of
the sensible question.
Speaker 8 (22:20):
And so the big question is, yeah, will he want
to take part? The Auckland mayor actually won the last
election pretty decisively despite not being present for some of
the debates. It's important to note that a lot of
the debates don't really engage a lot of a lot
of the voting public. Voting opens in just over four weeks.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Fascinating. He's not going to I mean, he's going to
win anyway, isn't he. That's the thing that doesn't need
to debate. How's the weather, Michael.
Speaker 8 (22:43):
Mainly find with morning frosts and shattered places. Fourteeners a
high today, brilliant, thank you. It is nineteen minutes away
from Sex. We had a fire alarm here this morning.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
It ends in me and just the Liam was talking
about elderly people and fires and things, and I was
a bit worried about the hosk actually because you know
the fire alarm goes off. You know he's getting on
in his years, so I thought I'd better stay with
stick with him, stick around him, and just look after
(23:13):
him should there be any issues getting him out of
the building. But the fire alarm goes off. It's half
an hour will showtime. What do you do? Do You
stop all your prep and stop yourself getting ready and
go outside in the freezing cold. Note I stayed at
my desk, but I probably only did that because Mike
was staying at his desk and if anyone was going
to get in trouble, it would be him, not me.
(23:36):
It's eighteen minutes away from six News Talks B. We'll
get to our UK correspondent Gavin Gray is going to
join us. Talk about the Europeans who are kind of
huddling around, gathering around and supporting ze Lenz. Get ahead

Kevin dray UK. You're a correspondent, Gevin, Welcome to the show.
You've got the Europeans getting behind Zelensky a hit of
this big meeting on Saturday Friday local time.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
Yes, but the question is Ryan, do the European leaders
have any influence or any sway And I have to
say it's not looking very likely. They're concerned, of course
about their own security Ukraine on the border and therefore
want to be part of the negotiations. But Donald Trump,
at the moment saying he's meeting Vladimir Putin, said his
mind would be open to the Ukrainian president lot of
(25:43):
Mizzelensky being there. But it's apparent now that the Russian
leader is pretty keen for it just to be Donald
Trump and lot of Merzayinski, of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.
Now that leads the prospect that we might suddenly have
an announcement of a deal which neither the U Ukrainians
have accepted nor the Europeans being aware of. There is
(26:04):
a rumor that the White House is trying to sway
the European allies to accept an agreement that would mean
Russia takes control of the entire Donbas region in eastern
Ukraine and keeps the Crimean Peninsula. In other words, they
get to keep a lot of what they invaded in
the east of Ukraine and the Crimean Peninsula, which of
(26:24):
course they took as well. A few years ago European
leaders saying international boarders must not be changed by force.
So I suppose they're kind of alluding to that. But yeah,
it's going to be grow interested to see what happens
at this meeting. But europe trying to get a seat
at the trad will trying to get a voice heard
at the debate.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Tell us about that Wimbley stadium, this plot, would we
call it a plot to get Oasis pains into the
concert without actually buying proper tickets.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
Yeah, so Oasis have moved to Scotland currently on their tour,
been performing this weekend and there again on Tuesday night.
But it's the cos at Wembley last week which are
now under scrutiny, and that is because it is reported
that up to two hundred people were asked for about
seven hundred and fifty New Zealand dollars each to be
sneaked in to one of the gigs via disabled entrance.
(27:15):
Now two concertgoers are reporting that the large group potentially
some two groups of twenty or thirty people in total,
were able to use the same ticket to get into
the stadium, where they were then handed wristbands giving them
access to the VIP area at the front of the stage.
(27:35):
So yeah, they were said to have quite a few
groups of twenty, maybe ten groups of twenty making the
two hundred that had alluded to earlier, and that once
they got through a couple of the initial ticket inspections,
they were then shown to the front with zero security searches,
they claim. A spokesperson for Wembley Stadium says entering Wembley
(27:56):
Stadium with out a ticket is a serious offense. We're
investing in these allegations and if substantiated, we will refer
our evidence to the police. So this, of course security
very important, but also people sneaking in without paying or
paying one or two alleged security guards, well, those are
very serious accusations that are going to have to work
(28:18):
through this investigation.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Goodness May Devin thank you for that. Gavin Gray are
UK europe correspondent just going to eleven minutes away from
Sex that's in Bridge rich sneaking across the channel, sneaking
into Wembley. The Brits have got a problem with porous,
leaky borders, don't they. Let's talk about visas. Two new
work visas are on the way aimed at supporting sectors
(28:40):
like agriculture, forestry, your tourism operators. The Global Workforce Visa,
this is your first one, brings in specialized workers for
up to three years. This is allowing them to come
and go basically as they please, though there are some
time limits.
Speaker 7 (28:53):
Well.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
The Peak Seasonal visa is for short term agre and
equaculture jobs and is up for up to seven I
should say Kyle Dean is fed Farmer's dairy chair with
us this morning, cow, good morning, good morning, right, yeah,
good to heap you on. Why are these needed?
Speaker 7 (29:11):
So?
Speaker 3 (29:12):
A lot of this is about I think we can
all agree that when you have a new staff member
it takes a bit of time and at the cost
in a business to get them up to speed. And
a lot of this is about the fact that, especially
in our contracting and in our meat processing, the area
we have very specialized jobs that these guys that should
(29:33):
travel around the world for contracting. For example, for harvest
season for philograss harvest, they normally travel between the southern
and the northern hemisphere. So it's quite useful for those
contractors to have the same person sharp three years in
a row now potentially without having any issues, for them
(29:54):
to do their work, then be able to go home,
do their work at the other end of the other
end of the globe, and then come back in the
following season.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
You will have people asking why don't we get some
of the two hundred thousand odd jobs that could beneficiaries
into jobs like this albeit temporary jobs not happening.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
No, I suppose, like I said, the highly skilled jobs. So,
and they're only seasonal, so you can have someone trained
up if they want to travel to the normal numbers
of six months of the year. There's nothing stopping those people. Now, yeah,
learning the trade new zone. But then they could have
realized that, yeah, literally, these things to move around the
(30:35):
whole whole world. So you know there are things like
wine making in here that again we only have wine
harvest for two to three months of the year.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Yeah, yeah, So it's a time limited thing that they
are requiring one season of previous relevant experience for the
peak seasonal visa. Is that an issue or does that
sound right to you?
Speaker 3 (30:58):
That sounds right to me. I mean again, there's these
are places that normally these people have experience in the
Northern Hemisphere doing that season or work. So I think
that's just saying all right, we'll normally be able to
get them in for one year, and normally they might
come in on working holiday visit. But this makes it
a lot clearer that they're here for this purpose and
(31:18):
they can be better tracked in the future.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Interesting, Carl, appreciate your trying this morning, Carl dene fed
Farmer's dairy Chair. Time is eight to six News Talk.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Said B the first Word on the News of the
Day Early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Roofe Love
Where you Live News.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Talk sid B New TALKSB just gone six minutes away
from six. Did you see the video of Winston Peters
last week basically saying no to a high vis when
going underground to look at the new CRL train system
in Auckland. He says too many of us just blindly
follow health and safety rules at the moment and until
somebody stops asks the question and says, nart bugger off.
(31:57):
This will can this madness will continue. What do we
think of that? Mike is here now, Hey, Mike, good morning.
What did you see the video? I did?
Speaker 6 (32:05):
I didn't know. I watched the whole thing several times.
And the funny thing about it was where he was wrong.
He said, I'm trying to save money, and the guy goes, what,
we already had these things anyway, so don't.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Worry about it.
Speaker 6 (32:15):
But the point he made was when he asked the question,
what literally is this for the point? And he said,
if we have an accident in the tunnel, we can
see you. And I'm thinking and at that point, what
a stupid thing? So we can see you to do what?
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Yeah? And do we all have to when we ride
the trains, which you of course won't. But when I
ride the train in the city rail link, do I
have to wear a hivers too?
Speaker 6 (32:37):
No, you do not, because it's open to the public
and it's been cleared for safety. But the point being
it was what was interesting is he actually put it on.
By the end of the video, you notice and he
didn't put a zip up anyway the point. But it's
one of those things that everybody just, oh, come on, Winston,
we're all doing it. And so it's that funny thing,
isn't it When everyone does it doesn't make it right,
(32:58):
just means everyone's folded.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Yes, and you've got to put yeah.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
But you didn't wear a hard hat though that.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Was the word which would probably would be the more
important thing.
Speaker 6 (33:05):
What I got out of that which was disappointing is
they all got so fizzed up by it, and the
reality is you forget the thing. It started at two billion,
it's going to end up at six plus. It's so late,
it's so hopeless, and it goes around in a little
and it goes around around circle and they are talking
it up like it is literally going to transform the world,
when all it is is just a train.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
A little train. How you've got the PM on this
morning and you ask them to stop saying get the
barnacles off the boat.
Speaker 6 (33:33):
There's too many barnicles, too much barnacle talking, isn't there
We need gripped up, frictionless barnacles.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Up the boat? Makes you WinCE?
Speaker 6 (33:41):
Does no, She'll do it on your behalf.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Thank you? All right? Mike is here with your next
Have a great day, everybody. See tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
For more from earlier edition with Ryan Bridge. Listen live
to Newstalk STB from five am weekdays, or follow the
podcast on iHeartRadio
The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
earlier show with one roof Love where you Live News Talk,
sa'd be good.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Morning, Welcome to Monday, just gone six after five. Coming
up on the show this morning, new visas to fill
farming and agricultural jobs. Why not hire the two hundred
thousand jobs seeker beneficiaries we've got sitting around the country.
The Greens reckon they'll lead the next government. Nice to
be ambitious, isn't it. Andrew Ordison on the passing of
Peter Lester Gavin Gray in the UK for us this morning,
(00:34):
This plan to try and get people free tickets to
the Oasis concerts a fascinating one. We'll unpack that. It
is seven after five.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
The Agenda, Monday.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
The eleventh of August. The world's been reacting to Nittanyahu's
planning to take over Gaza City. There's been a UN
Security Council meeting. The UK, France and others have warned
it could bridge international law.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
We turned two in order to hey assure our security,
remove Kamas there, enable the population to be free of it.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Meanwhile, let's hear from the Europeans, no, we won't. Actually
the Europeans a bit quiet at the moment, but they
are getting behind and trying to support a plan to
basically save Gaza City from Netan. Yahoo. We've got more
(01:27):
details this morning on the medium between Trump and Putin.
This is over Ukraine. They'll meet in Alaska Saturday, a
time the White House has been deciding whether to invite
Zelinsky as well. Meanwhile, again the Europeans, well, they reckon
Zelensky must be.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
There, and all the partners share the same understanding of
the need for a cease fire, for an end to
the killings. Only one actor stands against this. His only
card is the ability to kill, and he is trying
to sell the cessation of killings at the highest possible.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
And it's the story that just keeps on giving. This
is the Mushroom Keller lady. In Australia, the courts revealing
that Aaron Patterson allegedly tried to poison her husband multiple times,
even with cookies. She said that their daughter had baked.
We've got the police interview video.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
You've described to the relationship with your Picks partner, Simon.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
I like to understand boy.
Speaker 7 (02:28):
Had his parents and his uncle and I be over
for lunch because I've gotten other family.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I think Simon hated and I still had a relationship
with his parents.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I love them.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
Bridge and one roof love where you Live.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
News Talk said, be she's gone nine after five, News
Talk said, b. This story out of Northland on as
He'd be this morning, quite alarming. This is a spate
of murders they've had up there, so things are so
bad and it does paint quite a grim picture. But
ninety extra police officers are being sent to Northland because
crime's so out of control and they literally don't have
(03:10):
enough police officers to man the streets themselves and to
actually investigate all the crime that's going on. Police have
said that this is a quote expensive, unsustainable and short
term solution. They are on temporary five week rotations. Nine
alleged homicides this year in Northland. Do you know what
(03:33):
the interesting thing is? The EWI. The EWI is crying
out for more police on the front line. They say
the lack of police in Northland is dire, with FARO
losing confidence that police would even respond or investigate to
a reported crime. So here you've got people who are
feeling vulnerable, wanting police and not confident that they'll come.
(03:57):
Their big worry the EWI is child abuse investigations. They
reckon that some child abuse investigations are being parked up
because the officers are busy on homicides. And you contrast
this with those numpties down in Wellington from the Green
Party who say defund the police, and which is all
(04:20):
very trendy, of course, but completely out to sea, completely
out of touch with the real needs of poor communities
in New Zealand, which who are crying out literally for
police officers so that they may feel safe in their
own homes. Go figure eleven. After five News Talkers Bryan Bridge,
News Talks zib I also talk a little bit about
(04:42):
Chippy and his debt ceiling, because that looks like it's
on the move as well. This morning News Talks EDB.
Coming up next, we've got Andrew Orderson with Sport and
then we're to the Greens speaking of while an old
Green who seems to think that they will that the
Green Party will lead the next government. Believe it or not.
News Talks, heb News.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
And Views you Trust. To start your day, It's early
edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof love Where you live,
News talks ab.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
News talks here b has just gone thirteen minutes after
five Ryan. I live in the Far North and the
meth problem here is so bad. This is about the
reason we have ninety police officers from around the country
supporting Northland right now because they literally have too much
crime on their hands. They've got nine alleged homicides this
year alone. Ryan, it doesn't feel like a safe place
(05:34):
to be. Very aggressive young people nowadays stealing and hurting people.
Clearly they are just on drugs. They have a habit
and they're trying to feed it. Isn't that sad? And
you look at the numbers on meth in New Zealand
and particularly in Northland. Actually I was talking to a
guy out there a couple of weeks ago who said
that with the water something that they get the wastewater testing,
(05:55):
that's how you tell how much myth is being consumed
in a place like Northland. And they said, well, actually,
most people aren't on town water. They've got their own septic.
You're not even reading half of what's up there, which
is a scary thought, isn't it. Anyway? The reinforcements the
cavalryes in there and ninety extra police officers are rotating
in and out to help them with their crime problem.
(06:17):
Fourteen minutes after five. Maybe the Greens will help with
it too. The Greens want to lead the next government.
Speaker 8 (06:27):
We're not just here to leave the opposition.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
We are here because we want to leave the Lae comment.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
This is from their event at the weekend colead to
Chloe's Fabrick admits they've quote got work to do with
polling just under ten percent and labor in the early thirties,
so how's this going to work? Cassin Dale Hunt is
a former Green Party in p joins me this morning. Catherine,
good morning. How are you?
Speaker 7 (06:56):
Yeah, well, I'm gooc You're going to trying to be
the next government.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Do you think that's a little ambitious of them?
Speaker 7 (07:04):
I think politicians of smaller parties are required to talk
like this. I also think there is a really strong
need in this country this time to stop the incredible
damage being done to communities and to the environment by
the current government, and so leadership is required, and I
think that the Greens and Party Mardi are going to
(07:26):
need to be strong in order to push labor out
of the center to actually do some very strong, brave
and authentic work to get rid of this government and
actually make a country that is it looks after its
people and environment. Again, so you know, go for it,
but you've got to go for it realistically by building
(07:48):
relationships with the other small party on the left and
making sure that there is a realistic and brave approach
right now because people are looking for it.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
So you reckon, they need to better integrate themselves with
T Party Maori and increase them and increase the bargaining gun.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
I think that those parties have tativity policies in common.
I think they both care about the inequality gap. I
think they both care about the state of the environment.
So I think that they have to you know, parties
have to compete for the version the current system. But
there is also a really strong need for both those
parties to build their vote so that they can negotiate
(08:31):
strongly with labor so that we can have some genuine
procreessive policy. I mean, for example, the Greens have got
a very decent tax policy. Labor need to come up
with some really strong policy.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
It's strong, it's a strong, it's an out there policy.
I don't know if it's good.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
Well on your politics, I think there's the care of
people through good taxes and ex What.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Would be your for the Greens going into this, What
is the bottom line? What's the one area that they
should not compromise on.
Speaker 7 (09:02):
I don't really think like that, Ryan, but I think
if you're going to talk about it, these two bottom lines.
One is we have to do something about the gross
inequality that this government is entrenching, and we have to
do in all kinds of fronts. And we also have
to protect our environments for future generations. And those are
two things that absolutely as well as protected tededity or
(09:24):
White Segney. There's a terrible attack right now on Marty
by this government and on t TDT.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
So those are.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Three things they have to be done. They can be done,
but you actually have to be brave to do them
and show some leadership.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Catherine, appreciate your time this morning, Captain Dallah Hunty, former
Green Party MP. It is eighteen minutes after five. We'll
get to Andrew Orison's Sport next.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Ryan Bridge on earlier this year with one route Love
where you live News talks.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
That'd be good morning, Happy Monday, Della Hunty is delusional.
You can imagine the text we're getting after speaking to
Katain and Dellah Hunty from the Greens this morning. Vie
and I'm so sick of the left bloe leading on
about in the quality when they spent six years spending
all of the money and an equality got worse, says Mike.
It is twenty minutes after five, but it's get to
(10:11):
Andrew Ortison's sport Andrew, good morning, Greeting's Ryan. Here's some
very sad news. We'll talk about the Warriors. That sad news,
but some very different type of sad news, different type
of sad news about the passing of Peter Leicster.
Speaker 9 (10:23):
Yeah, genuinely sad news. And that Pete Lester is such
a yachting great member of the of the yachting fraternity
over so many years, I mean, was an excellent sailor
in his own right over the years Admiral's Cup, one
time Cup, America's Cup, but the intender's attention to the
the world of commentary, et cetera and in the media,
(10:44):
and was just such an engaging voice to listen to
on the America's Cup coverage over so many editions.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Yeah, amazing voice and Olympic and by all accounts, great
guy behind the mic, great guy in person.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (10:56):
I had the pleasure of meeting Peter or probably two
or three times a very sports journalists dinners and functions, ceremonies,
et cetera. And he was very down to worth and
and very much as you heard him on air. So no,
just to you reflect on that said news this morning,
because he was just such a part of that coverage
(11:17):
for so many years and had such a successful career
in the yachting lace. Now the Warriors Warriors, I think,
looking shaky, But then this is the ride we go
on every year with the Warriors, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
But yeah, they're they're Yeah.
Speaker 9 (11:31):
Top four ambitions are looking a bit dicey for starters,
especially with Penrith coming back into the reckoning what four
rounds to go? They're clinging on.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Yeah, take a bit of a miracle to get anywhere meaningful.
Speaker 9 (11:47):
Well, I don't know. The Warriors are capable of turning
things around. It doesn't take much, true, And this is well,
we're in for an interesting four weeks, are we, with
the four rounds together season well plus presumably playoffs. We'll
see there are only four points out away from being
ninth now anyway, okay, it.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Was looming more than to the top four.
Speaker 10 (12:06):
I was looking at that over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Black Caps.
Speaker 9 (12:10):
Yeah, I thought there was a promising display. Actually in
Zimbabwe they introduced some new talent. I mean it wasn't
the I suppose the greatest of a memorable fixture or
series over the course of time, but just the introduction
of some of those players into the reckoning. Of course,
a number of players out injured in the way for
various reasons, but they would have got quite a lot
(12:31):
out of that, particularly with the I mean the pace
bowling for starters, with Zach Falkes coming into the reckoning,
Matt Fisher, Jacob Duffy all performing credibly, Matt Henry leading
the way with the board. Of course, the batter is
all performed in that second test Ryan, So yeah, it
was a solid showing and they did all they needed
to do and then convincing victories on both occasions.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
All right, very good. Meanwhile, cyclist Corbyn Strong, this is
the Kiwi who's in Norway winning the Arctic Race.
Speaker 9 (12:59):
Yeah, I think it's worthy of reflections when he's up
against some strong opposition four stage race, the Arctic Race
of Norway, and Strong has come up. Trump's really he's
done superbly well, and he's ended up in what they
call the Midnight Sun Jersey, so up in sort of
reindeer Santa Claus type country up there, Northern Lights Territory,
Ryan and Corbyn. Strong has delivered over the course of
(13:23):
those stages. So he's been triumphant this morning, brilliant.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Lovely to hear that, and lovely to see you, Andrew,
thank you so right. Likewise, Andrew Allison was spot this morning,
twenty three minutes after five year old News Talks. He'd
be the text machines going but bonkers at the moment
with feedback on the Greens. We'll get to some of
that shortly. Also, we'll talk about the meeting that's happening
Putin and Trump. Well, that's great, but what about Zelensky
(13:48):
All going to go down in Alaska Friday local time,
Saturday our time. We'll talk about that next.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
The early edition Full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered
by News Talks Evy News Talks.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
There'd be twenty six minutes after five. You've got to
feel for Vodimir Zelenski. On weeks like this, Saturday is
the big day Friday their times Saturday hours. Pusan will
fly to Alaska and meet with Trump for a cup
of tea in a biscuit. Lovely, they will hash out
the terms of a ceasefire for what the Russians are
calling the Ukraine crisis, rather than a bloody war that
(14:24):
they started. The body count is astonishing. It's as astonishing
as the fact that there is a war raging in
Europe and twenty twenty five one million Russian soldiers have
been killed or injured four hundred thousand for the Ukrainian side,
including sixty to one hundred thousand dead. The Russians now
(14:44):
occupy about twenty percent of Ukraine. And the guy responsible
for this hell fire is not being dragged by some
soldiers into an international criminal court to face charges. No,
he's about to be welcomed, wined and dined by the
most powerful man in the world to discuss the terms
for a ceasefire, which includes keeping land that is not
(15:05):
entitle too. If we put ourselves in Ukrainian shoes for
just a second, if war was to return to the
Pacific theater, it would be like Washington and Beijing meeting
to decide that China can keep and occupy all of
the land north of Auckland simply because they took it,
and you meant to sit back and be grateful that
(15:27):
at least the fighting will stop. Ukrainians certainly aren't ready
to roll over on territory. The Europeans are huddling around
Zelenski now to give them some moral support, but they
need more than cuddles and handshakes to bandage over what
must feel like an insult to their country and to
their sovereignty. Two global superpowers meeting far far away in
(15:51):
Alaska and deciding the fate of their nation brands gone
twenty eight minutes after five Interesting story this morning. Did
you know Freddy Mercury had a secret love child? Well
that's the rumor. So there's a new book coming out.
This is by Leslie Ann Jones, a tell All, and
(16:11):
she claims, which is apparently something his in a circle
is known about for a while, but who would know.
She claims that Freddy Mercury, he of Queen fame, had
a secret daughter. And there's a quote from this daughter
who's living as an adult forty eight years old in Europe. Somewhere.
Freddie Mercury was and is my father. We had a
(16:35):
very close and loving relationship from the moment I was
born and throughout the final fifteen years of his life.
He adored me and was devoted to me. Little known
about this woman other than she is a medical professional
working somewhere in Europe, and she claims that Freddy Mercury
gave her seventeen journals that cover the final years of
(16:57):
his life. The closest thing to an autoboroiography, she says,
from Freddie Mercury, we won't know, will be until she
comes forward with the journals. Until then you can read
all about it in this new book that's coming out.
Twenty nine minutes after five News Talk said B. We'll
get to our reporters and then to Gavin Gray in
(17:17):
the UK.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
The news you need this morning and the in depth
analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and one roote love
where you Live. News Talk said B were.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
Down sad.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Good morning it is when you pour away from the
six News Talk, said B. Coming up before six o'clock.
The Europeans are rallying around Zelenski. This is ahead of that
big Trump hoot meeting in Alaska. On Saturday, We're live
to London and New Visits for Farmers will have details
for you on that Chloe Swarbrough potentially been the finance minister.
You might have heard that in the news, Ryan, the
(18:13):
day of the Greens and to party Marty take power.
We'll see a rapid decline as we head into third
world status. Ryan. Let's give Chloe the checkbook. What could
possibly go wrong? Ryan? Hearing your news that Chloe wants
to hold the finance portfolio gives me a good laugh.
Nothing like a good joke to start the week. Ryan,
it'd be a nightmare. Don't let it happen. Well, I mean,
(18:33):
that's not up to me, that's up to the people
of this country. However, I would just make one note
that I would trust my dog as finance minister before
I trust Chloe Swarbrook. She sleeps most of the time,
does Fanny does a lot of sleeping, lot of resting,
And crucially she cannot sign or write any checks. So
to be a very cheap time, it's Finance Minister twenty
(18:54):
three minutes after sorry, twenty three minutes away.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
From six, Ryan Bridge.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Let's get to our reporters around the country. Colum Proctor
and Dunedan Cullum. Good morning morning. Right now, police on
the hunt there for the shooter of a sea lion.
Speaker 11 (19:08):
Yeah, this is senseless act of cruelty. Police calling on
the public actually to help them find the culprits behind this.
The shooting of endangered sea lions over the weekend. Three
in fact were shot at the mouth of the Waititucky
River near Omaru on Saturday. Two of them were killed
sadly third had to be euthanized. One or the third
had to be euthanized at the scene. So police working
(19:29):
closely with the Department of Conservation here and they also
are asking anyone with any information to get in contact.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Okay, how's your weather.
Speaker 11 (19:38):
Mostly cloudy with a few showers for our Monday southwesterlies
and ten today.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Brilliant. Thank you, clais In Christ your take clear. Good morning,
Good morning to you. Now we've got this revolt going
over the rural police changes.
Speaker 12 (19:50):
I know this is what we were all about last week,
as you will recall, and very late on Friday, in fact,
just as we were logging out for the week, police
announced that they had made a U turn on the
public consultation around rural policing restructures and they will in
fact take public feedback until August eighteen. Of course, they
say that this is a departure from normal process, but
(20:11):
it comes following a week of public outcry. You know
that there were those community halls packed with hundreds of people.
Talkback lines were certainly chokers with feedback here on news
Talk said b Federated Farmers is one group that was
very vocal about not only the proposal but the process
being followed. Provincial President Carl Dean says it's simply a
flawed process. Police changing their minds, he says, is just
(20:34):
a lip service. He says they've been forced into this
public consultation, which should have been what they did from
the beginning. He says the short turnaround indicates to him
that this is not proper consultation. That said people should
have their say up until August eighteenth. Okay, and weather
cloudy with a few showers again today, southerly's and a
high of nine.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Nice one. Thanks Claire Lachland, Rennie Wellington Lachland, good morning.
Speaker 10 (20:57):
Warning.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Ran A coroner's highlighted the risk to elderly people and
the dangers that they face in house fires.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
Yes.
Speaker 10 (21:04):
So this all comes as ninety four year old Margaret
Gill died in hospital in December after a fire started
in a blend Him home while she was cooking. Now,
the coroner's report into her death out this morning, states
fifty five percent of fire deaths in the past five
years are people aged sixty five or over, many living alone.
Fire emergencies urging those with elderly family members to ensure
(21:25):
smoke alarms are working and escape plans in place. Free
home safety visits are also offered to ensure elderly people
have the best chance of survival in the event of
a house fire.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
All right, how's the weather in Wellington this morning, Lockland.
Speaker 10 (21:37):
Yes, there's a few occasional showers, some strong southerlies which
will ease in the morning, and a high of nine.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Degrees brilliant, Thanks mate. Michael Sergele is in Auckland and
there's a well are we going to get any merrial debates?
That's the question this morning, Michael.
Speaker 8 (21:51):
Yeah, that's the big question. Will Wayne Brown commit to
taking part in mail debates for Auckland's upcoming elections councilor
kre and leone one of the eleven people standing against
on for the job since she wants to see some
debates scheduled. I've been asking the Auckland mayor whether he'll
take part.
Speaker 9 (22:06):
I realised the chance to debate the ministers, the chance
to debate issues.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
I've heard of most of those people.
Speaker 10 (22:13):
I'm open to talk and answer questions from anybody of
the sensible question.
Speaker 8 (22:20):
And so the big question is, yeah, will he want
to take part? The Auckland mayor actually won the last
election pretty decisively despite not being present for some of
the debates. It's important to note that a lot of
the debates don't really engage a lot of a lot
of the voting public. Voting opens in just over four weeks.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Fascinating. He's not going to I mean, he's going to
win anyway, isn't he. That's the thing that doesn't need
to debate. How's the weather, Michael.
Speaker 8 (22:43):
Mainly find with morning frosts and shattered places. Fourteeners a
high today, brilliant, thank you. It is nineteen minutes away
from Sex. We had a fire alarm here this morning.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
It ends in me and just the Liam was talking
about elderly people and fires and things, and I was
a bit worried about the hosk actually because you know
the fire alarm goes off. You know he's getting on
in his years, so I thought I'd better stay with
stick with him, stick around him, and just look after
(23:13):
him should there be any issues getting him out of
the building. But the fire alarm goes off. It's half
an hour will showtime. What do you do? Do You
stop all your prep and stop yourself getting ready and
go outside in the freezing cold. Note I stayed at
my desk, but I probably only did that because Mike
was staying at his desk and if anyone was going
to get in trouble, it would be him, not me.
(23:36):
It's eighteen minutes away from six News Talks B. We'll
get to our UK correspondent Gavin Gray is going to

Kevin dray UK. You're a correspondent, Gevin, Welcome to the show.
You've got the Europeans getting behind Zelensky a hit of
this big meeting on Saturday Friday local time.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
Yes, but the question is Ryan, do the European leaders
have any influence or any sway And I have to
say it's not looking very likely. They're concerned, of course
about their own security Ukraine on the border and therefore
want to be part of the negotiations. But Donald Trump,
at the moment saying he's meeting Vladimir Putin, said his
mind would be open to the Ukrainian president lot of
(25:43):
Mizzelensky being there. But it's apparent now that the Russian
leader is pretty keen for it just to be Donald
Trump and lot of Merzayinski, of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.
Now that leads the prospect that we might suddenly have
an announcement of a deal which neither the U Ukrainians
have accepted nor the Europeans being aware of. There is
(26:04):
a rumor that the White House is trying to sway
the European allies to accept an agreement that would mean
Russia takes control of the entire Donbas region in eastern
Ukraine and keeps the Crimean Peninsula. In other words, they
get to keep a lot of what they invaded in
the east of Ukraine and the Crimean Peninsula, which of
(26:24):
course they took as well. A few years ago European
leaders saying international boarders must not be changed by force.
So I suppose they're kind of alluding to that. But yeah,
it's going to be grow interested to see what happens
at this meeting. But europe trying to get a seat
at the trad will trying to get a voice heard
at the debate.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Tell us about that Wimbley stadium, this plot, would we
call it a plot to get Oasis pains into the
concert without actually buying proper tickets.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
Yeah, so Oasis have moved to Scotland currently on their tour,
been performing this weekend and there again on Tuesday night.
But it's the cos at Wembley last week which are
now under scrutiny, and that is because it is reported
that up to two hundred people were asked for about
seven hundred and fifty New Zealand dollars each to be
sneaked in to one of the gigs via disabled entrance.
(27:15):
Now two concertgoers are reporting that the large group potentially
some two groups of twenty or thirty people in total,
were able to use the same ticket to get into
the stadium, where they were then handed wristbands giving them
access to the VIP area at the front of the stage.
(27:35):
So yeah, they were said to have quite a few
groups of twenty, maybe ten groups of twenty making the
two hundred that had alluded to earlier, and that once
they got through a couple of the initial ticket inspections,
they were then shown to the front with zero security searches,
they claim. A spokesperson for Wembley Stadium says entering Wembley
(27:56):
Stadium with out a ticket is a serious offense. We're
investing in these allegations and if substantiated, we will refer
our evidence to the police. So this, of course security
very important, but also people sneaking in without paying or
paying one or two alleged security guards, well, those are
very serious accusations that are going to have to work
(28:18):
through this investigation.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Goodness May Devin thank you for that. Gavin Gray are
UK europe correspondent just going to eleven minutes away from
Sex that's in Bridge rich sneaking across the channel, sneaking
into Wembley. The Brits have got a problem with porous,
leaky borders, don't they. Let's talk about visas. Two new
work visas are on the way aimed at supporting sectors
(28:40):
like agriculture, forestry, your tourism operators. The Global Workforce Visa,
this is your first one, brings in specialized workers for
up to three years. This is allowing them to come
and go basically as they please, though there are some
time limits.
Speaker 7 (28:53):
Well.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
The Peak Seasonal visa is for short term agre and
equaculture jobs and is up for up to seven I
should say Kyle Dean is fed Farmer's dairy chair with
us this morning, cow, good morning, good morning, right, yeah,
good to heap you on. Why are these needed?
Speaker 7 (29:11):
So?
Speaker 3 (29:12):
A lot of this is about I think we can
all agree that when you have a new staff member
it takes a bit of time and at the cost
in a business to get them up to speed. And
a lot of this is about the fact that, especially
in our contracting and in our meat processing, the area
we have very specialized jobs that these guys that should
(29:33):
travel around the world for contracting. For example, for harvest
season for philograss harvest, they normally travel between the southern
and the northern hemisphere. So it's quite useful for those
contractors to have the same person sharp three years in
a row now potentially without having any issues, for them
(29:54):
to do their work, then be able to go home,
do their work at the other end of the other
end of the globe, and then come back in the
following season.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
You will have people asking why don't we get some
of the two hundred thousand odd jobs that could beneficiaries
into jobs like this albeit temporary jobs not happening.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
No, I suppose, like I said, the highly skilled jobs. So,
and they're only seasonal, so you can have someone trained
up if they want to travel to the normal numbers
of six months of the year. There's nothing stopping those people. Now, yeah,
learning the trade new zone. But then they could have
realized that, yeah, literally, these things to move around the
(30:35):
whole whole world. So you know there are things like
wine making in here that again we only have wine
harvest for two to three months of the year.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Yeah, yeah, So it's a time limited thing that they
are requiring one season of previous relevant experience for the
peak seasonal visa. Is that an issue or does that
sound right to you?
Speaker 3 (30:58):
That sounds right to me. I mean again, there's these
are places that normally these people have experience in the
Northern Hemisphere doing that season or work. So I think
that's just saying all right, we'll normally be able to
get them in for one year, and normally they might
come in on working holiday visit. But this makes it
a lot clearer that they're here for this purpose and
(31:18):
they can be better tracked in the future.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Interesting, Carl, appreciate your trying this morning, Carl dene fed
Farmer's dairy Chair. Time is eight to six News Talk.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Said B the first Word on the News of the
Day Early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Roofe Love
Where you Live News.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Talk sid B New TALKSB just gone six minutes away
from six. Did you see the video of Winston Peters
last week basically saying no to a high vis when
going underground to look at the new CRL train system
in Auckland. He says too many of us just blindly
follow health and safety rules at the moment and until
somebody stops asks the question and says, nart bugger off.
(31:57):
This will can this madness will continue. What do we
think of that? Mike is here now, Hey, Mike, good morning.
What did you see the video? I did?
Speaker 6 (32:05):
I didn't know. I watched the whole thing several times.
And the funny thing about it was where he was wrong.
He said, I'm trying to save money, and the guy goes, what,
we already had these things anyway, so don't.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Worry about it.
Speaker 6 (32:15):
But the point he made was when he asked the question,
what literally is this for the point? And he said,
if we have an accident in the tunnel, we can
see you. And I'm thinking and at that point, what
a stupid thing? So we can see you to do what?
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Yeah? And do we all have to when we ride
the trains, which you of course won't. But when I
ride the train in the city rail link, do I
have to wear a hivers too?
Speaker 6 (32:37):
No, you do not, because it's open to the public
and it's been cleared for safety. But the point being
it was what was interesting is he actually put it on.
By the end of the video, you notice and he
didn't put a zip up anyway the point. But it's
one of those things that everybody just, oh, come on, Winston,
we're all doing it. And so it's that funny thing,
isn't it When everyone does it doesn't make it right,
(32:58):
just means everyone's folded.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Yes, and you've got to put yeah.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
But you didn't wear a hard hat though that.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Was the word which would probably would be the more
important thing.
Speaker 6 (33:05):
What I got out of that which was disappointing is
they all got so fizzed up by it, and the
reality is you forget the thing. It started at two billion,
it's going to end up at six plus. It's so late,
it's so hopeless, and it goes around in a little
and it goes around around circle and they are talking
it up like it is literally going to transform the world,
when all it is is just a train.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
A little train. How you've got the PM on this
morning and you ask them to stop saying get the
barnacles off the boat.
Speaker 6 (33:33):
There's too many barnicles, too much barnacle talking, isn't there
We need gripped up, frictionless barnacles.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Up the boat? Makes you WinCE?
Speaker 6 (33:41):
Does no, She'll do it on your behalf.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Thank you? All right? Mike is here with your next
Have a great day, everybody. See tomorrow.
