Speaker 1 (00:01):
The issues, the interviews and the inside Ryan Bridge on
earlier ishaw with one roof Love where you live news talks.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
That'd be six after five. Great to have your company
coming up this morning. The teacher union that doesn't want
teachers getting a pay rise. The oil prices up again
over night. That's despite that release of the reserves. We'll
head to Washington for that. What is frozen veggies getting
the axe and is tana umang are getting the higher
the agenda Thursday, the twelfth of March. So they're releasing
(00:30):
the oil reserves. After all, four hundred barrels Love set along.
That'll be the biggest ever.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
This imagor action aiming to alleviate the immediate impacts of
the dissumption in markets. But to be clear, the most
important thing for a return to stable the flows of
oil and gas is the resumption of trusted through the
state of horrors, which.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Is not happening. And that's why you're seeing the price
of brin Crew go up over four bucks overnight to
more than nine twenty dollars again, up from about eighty six.
These ships have been hit by projectiles.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Trump obviously facing immense pressure to do something to break
up the log jam, the straight or from merse and
it's difficult for him to ignore how this is impact
in the global marketing.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yeah, we'll look at that a little deeper later in
the show. Documents this morning, heading to the UK, Lord Mandelssohn,
do we still call him that? Mandelssohn was US ambassador
and then when he was fired because of his links
to Epstein, he demanded wait for it, five hundred and
forty seven thousand pounds and a payout for being sacked,
(01:32):
and the end he got seventy five.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Peter Manderson initially requested a some that were substantially larger
than the final payment, not just two or even three times,
but more than six times the final amounts.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Right Starman was also warned this is the documents that
have been released about a reputational risk from hiring a game.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Minister has taken responsibility for Peter Mandelson's appointment as ambassador
to the United States. He has acknowledged it was a
mistake and has apologized to Australia.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Finally, this morning, a Ossie designer Katy Perry with an
Ie has won a long running trademark fight where the
pop star Katy Perry with a hy pop star. Piri
was selling merchand an Australian tour. This is way back
in twenty fourteen. The designer already owned the name.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
That's been a.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Hard journey, it's been very long, but today it doesn't
really matter.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Because I won and the court said basically, Katy Perry
the pop star is famous enough that people will know
the difference.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
Bridge and one roof Love, where you live News Talks.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
It'd be nine minutes after five nine two ninety two
is the number to text. Would love to hear from you.
We would also love to hear what happened last night
at Parliament. There was a meeting of Nicholas Oil Ministerial
Advisory Group. Let's call it her oil Mog. So the
oil mog met last night and one of the things
they were talking about we burned. Hicky mentioned this the
other day, but there was a report out from the
(03:07):
Post yesterday saying that South Korea which provides half of
our refined fuel because we got rid of Marsden Points,
so South Korea provides half of it. That they were
looking to end fuel exports, which would obviously have quite
a big impact on us. So that's one thing. They
were looking at the oil mog last night. So we'll
(03:27):
keep you up to date if we hear news on
what exactly they discussed. They were apparently getting a briefing
from officials on that exact issue. The other thing this
morning is, and I mentioned this was coming out today,
but inflation out of the US pretty tame. As expected.
Core inflation for February was up point two percent two
(03:48):
and a half percent annual rate. That was the same
as what was forecast by the Wall Street Journal, and
one analyst described it as ho hum. An analystic Clearbridge
Investments said it was stale. And the reason that he
said it with stale is because and the fact that
there was no real market reaction to this overnight is
because everyone is now looking to next month. Why the
(04:08):
war this month doesn't really matter. I mean, it's like
a good number in the sense that it's an expected number.
But what happens to prices once the oil starts to bite?
Ten after five, Ryan Bridge, So next we'll look at
tana Umaga. Is he going to the AB's ten after
five on.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Your radio and online? On iheard Radio Early Edition with
Ryan Bridge and one route Love where.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
You Live News Talks, he'd been well after five on
News Talks he'd been nine two nine two is the
number to text. Harry says, good morning Ryan. The fallout
from the HINZ what is thing is not just the
three hundred and fifty workers, two hundred and twenty contracts
are being canceled with the suppliers in Canterbury as well,
so that will have a massive down the line impact.
(04:57):
You're quite right that there will be a down the
line impact. And we're going to speak to David Hadfield shortly.
He's from a chair of Process Vegetables and Z. They've
had problems. You might remember last year. Late last year
there was an issue with the peaches coming in, all
the imported veggies that were coming in and we're being
switched out and so that's been an ongoing problem. Now
(05:18):
they have this, so we'll get an update on that
for you, Harry in just a second. Thirteen after five,
Bridge Abe's Legendana Humunger has reportedly been picked by Dave
Renny to be an assistant coach phase two of the
coaching reset. Elliott Smith News Talks said, be Rugby commentator
the voice of Rugby with us this morning, Morning Elliott.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Good morning Ryan.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Just so, do we know this or we think this?
Speaker 7 (05:39):
We think this?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Look?
Speaker 6 (05:40):
This has been a name among a banded about pretty
much ever since Sad Dave when he got the job
last week on our Rugby podcast and Sky's Rugby shows,
and I think that that confirmation is getting a little
bit closer on the basis of some of those reports yesterday.
Not really surprised at tima Umonga would be involved. Strong
connection todayd Rennie played under Dave Rennie for Wellington and
(06:03):
the NBC going back twenty five years now, but there's
a strong connection there. So not officially confirmed. I'm hearing
perhaps next week that the official announced in will we
made around the assistant coaches, but seems more likely than
not now that tana Umonger will be one of them.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
What about Neil Barnes, Yeah, he's right in the mix.
Speaker 6 (06:21):
As well, and he's a coach that's worked with Dave
Rennie at the Chiefs for a number of seasons during
that very successful tenure, then went back to Tartanaki. So
we're seeing out the basis of Dave Renney's coaching team
begin to form. Ryan now Neil Barnes will be there,
is my understanding. Tana Umanger obviously very very close as well.
There's other names that have been mentioned. Mike Bleer, who
(06:44):
works with Dave Renni currently in Kobe, Scottish attack coach,
likely to join the set up. Andrew Strawbridge, who again
has worked with Dave Rennie in plenty of places including
the Chiefs before, likely to be there as well. And
then probably Jason Ryan is likely to be the only
survivor of the previous All Blacks regime that will keep
(07:04):
a job under this new setup of Dave Rennie. So
the more we're hearing about it Ryan, the more it
sounds like it's going to be a complete clear out
of the assistant coaches under Dave Rennie for this new
All Blacks regime.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
And what does that tell you, Elliott about what his
plan is and of those names that you have mentioned,
what style he's going for?
Speaker 6 (07:23):
Well, I think he's going to want to play a
heads up, attacking style of football, but also need to
balance that with the way that international rugby is in played.
I don't think we can see the Dave Rennie style
that we saw at the Chiefs working twelve years ago
work at an international rugby because international rugby has changed
so much in that time. But he's put himself around
a lot of coaches that he works with you across
(07:45):
a number of clubs, has strong relations with and can trust.
And we saw in the last setup that you know,
there was fallouts with different assistant coaches that didn't quite
work out. He's surrounded himself with people that he knows
he can work with, knows or believes that they can
get the best out of and deliver the All Blacks,
you know, World Cup win next year. So it'll be
interesting to see what portfolios each of them take. I'd
to spect Dave had a time at Umonger would probably
(08:06):
look at a defense portfolio. That's where he's worked with,
specifically with the Blues previously, currently Mwana Pacific as head coach,
and your Barnes likely to be around the Fords and
maybe a little bit of attack as well. But that's
going to be interesting to see how they divvy up
those portfolios once it's all said and done.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Good on you all. Alex Smith News talks zb's Voice
of Rugby. It's sixteen after five. I like tana Umaga
just because when I was a kid and I was
sort of forced to watch rugby. It was the hurricanes
and it was the Tan of Umanga days and they
were very good days. Indeed, right, we'd love your feedback
this morning. Nine two ninety two is the number to
text and we will talk about the boddies. Hinds are
(08:43):
getting lots of texts on that talk about the body's
hine situation in just a few moments. Also this morning,
the price I mentioned the price of Brent crew had
gone up futures up past ninety dollars from eighty six
because and the reason for that, even though they've released
the four hundred million barrels of oil, the International and
Energy Agency or of IT announced that they will do
(09:04):
that largest in history the Ukraine War. Remember they released
one hundred and eighty eight barrels, so we're now up
above double that. The reason the price has gone up
is because there are mines that they are putting in
the strait. This is Iran in the Strait of Humus
and the UK says that three cargo ships have been
hit by projectiles there. So it's like you can release
(09:26):
all the oil you want, but when the passage through
which a fifth of it must travel is still being
mined and bombed. Very difficult. News Talk said B Views.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
And Views you trust to start your day. It's early
edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof love where you live.
News Talk said B.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Five.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
You're going to hear today from Nikol Ravashenka, who's the
in New Zealand boss, who's fronting after Well, you know what.
We've spoken about that yesterday. But Quantas they're not the
only one hiking prices. Quantus is doing it as well.
They're just doing it in a more roundabout We're not
quite sure exactly how much weigh in New Zealand came
out and said ten dollars, twenty dollars and then ninety
dollars for long haul. Quantus has said it will depend
(10:10):
on which route you are taking. Their price increase, there
is an analyst out of the U, out of Australia,
I should say, who says they reckon five percent across
the board is what they're increasing their prices by. But
more worryingly, the full impact of what we're seeing right
now on the oil markets won't be felt for three
to six months. Brian, what happens to the veggie growers?
(10:32):
What is looking to act production of its frozen vegetables,
plans to shut three facilities, three hundred and fifty jobs
on the line, high costs, tough manufacturing environment to blame.
David Hadfield is chair of Processed Vegetables New Zealand with
me Live this morning. Morning, David, Morning, What happens to
the contracts with growers?
Speaker 7 (10:52):
Oh, well, contracts are annual, so this current year's contracts
pea harvest has just finished. Beans arounder Way character still
to happen, so it'll be next season that it will
affect us because normally in May through to June July,
(11:13):
the Waddi's reps are out around seeing growers and signing
up for the next season. But they will have grown
pea seed for next season, so that's probably sitting in
a grain store at the stage unless they'd let those
guys know earlier than this, but I doubt they would
(11:33):
have because it would have got out if that had
to happen.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
So what happens to that and what happens to the growers.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
The growers now are going to have to look for
other crop options. Process peas and beans were a good
restorative crop and their rotation on an arable farm, so
now they'll be looking for other restorative crops to put
in its place.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
There will be some.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
Pe seed in peace for the feed industry contracts around.
But he's a difficult decision for some growers because they
rely on the cash flow of the process crop, mainly
because you pay it's a ninety to one hundred and
ten day crop and you're paid in the month after
(12:25):
its harvesters, and you don't have to We didn't have
to pay the harvest cost that was covered as part
of the wadi's contract.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
And a harvesting's obviously a lot more expensive now the
price of pet oil's going the way it is. David,
what happens? What can you give us an idea of
the financial impact for growers of this, Well, it's.
Speaker 7 (12:48):
It's one crop in a rotation that pays around what
an average crop would be so and generally most most
rollers it's one peddic of peas or a pedic of
peas and a paedic of beans. So they'll replace it
with another crop. But it's most of the cash flow
(13:11):
implication more than they're replacing the crop, right, and a
lot of crops we don't get paid for months after
harvest for but as far as money wheat, it could
be eighteen months after you've planted the crop before you're
actually getting paid. Process crops it's short term, three months
(13:35):
growing season and paid in month four.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
What's going on here?
Speaker 5 (13:40):
Is this?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
What these thing? Or we're not eating beans and peas.
Speaker 7 (13:44):
We're not eating as much New Zealand vegetable consumptions dropping
New Zealand does that need to eat more vegetables because
it's a good, healthy product. It's going to put a
burden on the health system if they don't eat more healthy,
fresh and frozen vegetables. But there is a lot of
(14:05):
important product coming in, Yeah, and that is affecting us.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I was reading at the end of last year, there
were lots of stories around about this. Do you think
that's part of the problem here?
Speaker 7 (14:16):
It is, it's definitely part of the problem. Yeah, New Zealand.
We grow some of the best and highest yearing process
crops in the world. But the cost of production, and
that's not only the fuel costs and fertilizer costs and
(14:38):
chemical costs, it's also the regular liatery costs on us
to actually grow crops. Now, it's quite prohibitive and quite
time consuming doing the paperwork.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
So what does that mean that we will grow less
of them?
Speaker 7 (14:56):
Yes, there's still New Zealand growing process crops going to
be available through McCain Foods and Hawks Bay and Telly's
and Expersion, which I suggest that New Zealanders need to
hunt out the packaging and the supermarket look at where
it's growing, not not where it's packaged, because quite often
(15:19):
the imported product is coming in in bulk and then
packaged in New Zealand. We need to look at actually
where it's growing.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Roger but that David appreciate that. That's David Hadfield, their
chair of Process Vegetables, New Zealand twenty five after five
Will do the teachers next?
Speaker 1 (15:34):
The early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio power by News.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Talks IV five twenty seven News Talks it be. I
can't see what the problem is with teachers getting a
pay rise. Can you guess who does have a problem
with teachers getting a pay rise? A teachers union? I know,
how does that work? The union that's always saying teachers
are undervalued, they're underpaid, doesn't want to pay rise. They're
actually going to take legal act to try and stop
(16:01):
it from happening. It's upside down day today, folks. It's
back to front. This is the primary teacher union. They've
been dragging out collective bargaining nine months in counting now,
so in the meantime Old Mates of Brian Roch is
offering non union teachers employed on individual agreements up to
an extra four point seven percent within twelve months. That's
(16:21):
two and a half percent from March, then two point
one percent next year. This is, according to the government,
an extra fifty to seventy six bucks a week in
your pocket for a teacher. A third of primary teachers
that's about ten thousand aren't part of the union. Now
the union doesn't like this because they say it's the
government trying to break their unity. But the reality is
(16:45):
they're not unified. A third of them don't pay subs
to the union, so therefore can go down the individual
route with school boards. Last time I checked, they were adults.
It's the kids that they're teaching, remember, and the union members,
by the way, they can accept this off for two
but they choose not to. Well, the union chooses not to.
To your average key, we are union trying to stop
(17:07):
non union teachers from getting a pay rise during a
cost of living crisis by bringing in their expensive lawyers
looks messy, controlling and frankly a little unfair. Throw into
the mix, you've got the other teacher unions demanding updates
on the war in Gaza and the fact that student
achievement was pretty much in the bin for many years,
and they start to look well beyond out of touch
(17:30):
with the rest of us, don't they. News Talks, they'd
be to the US.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Next the news you need this morning and the in
depth analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Roote
love where you live news Talks at b.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
When you brought away from Sexier on News Talks, they'd
be great to have you here. On a Thursday morning,
we head to Washington. The US says they've hits five
and a half one thousand targets in Iran in the
last twenty four or so hours. We'll get an update
on that. Also, laborism to explain their support for this
teacher pay well, the union side of the teacher pay
stash loads of your texts this morning. Nice to hear
(18:14):
from you morning, Ryan says, Mike, great show. What's happening
to the veggies. Is the same as happened to bacon.
It's cheaper to import overseas products because we have so
many regulations here. And that is true. That did happen
with bacon, Ryan, what is what's happening there is the
start of things to come? Do we want our vegetables
all to arrive on a ship?
Speaker 7 (18:34):
Look?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
What's happening to the oil? I mean it's a good point,
isn't it? Another person? And this is the flip side
of the coin. I'm sorry, but I'll be shopping the cheapest.
I can't afford New Zealand products anymore, spry and Bridge said, said,
but it is true and part of the reason for
that is because they are more difficult to make because
there are more regulations when making and growing products here,
(18:58):
primary industries here. So do we want to do something
about that or do we want to just keep getting
more and more expensive and pricing ourselves out of our
own goods. Let's go to our reporters this morning, Rosie
for duned In morning, Rosie, good morning. What's going on
with Santana's illegal Hilltop communications tower?
Speaker 5 (19:17):
So Australian mining company Santana is tearing down an illegal
Hilltop Communications Tower only a month after putting it up.
ODT reports a Facebook post on February twentieth showed images
of the tower on the summit of Battery Hill and
the Bendigo Hills, but the post has since been taken down.
The Central Otago District Council sent an abatement notice on
(19:39):
March sixth saying required resource consents hadn't been obtained. The
structures must be removed. Central Otago District Mayor Tama Ali
says Santana has agreed to do so by March thirtieth.
It comes to Santana six fast track consents for a
proposed gold mine and the Bendigo, oh Fair site that
could create more than eight hundred and sixty jobs over
(20:01):
fourteen years.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
All right, Rosie, how's the weather.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
It's actually mainly fine today, but cloud will increase in
the evening with a spot or two of light rain.
Northerly is becoming strong for a bit in the afternoon
in a high of twenty four degrees.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Rosa, you enjoyed that weather and have a lovely day.
Thank you. Clears and christ morning Claire, good morning. So
what's going on with the missions?
Speaker 8 (20:24):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (20:24):
Yes, well, we've got climbing emissions here. We've found out
that Christiat City Council's emissions have increased by almost seven
eight hundred tons between twenty twenty four and twenty five.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
That's after they foul the year prior.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Now sixty four.
Speaker 9 (20:38):
Percent of that came from wastewater treatment. We know, of
course that's done at Bromley, which has been in our
news since the fire, and also the stink that impacts
all of us here. Trouble is, though, the treatment processes
that are in place at the plant for now are
also responsible for the higher emissions and odors. So a
council spokesperson says, while there is a planned solution for
(20:58):
this to bring down both the emissions and the stink,
it's certainly not a quick fix.
Speaker 10 (21:02):
It's two years away.
Speaker 9 (21:03):
They're working on this activated sludge reactor to replace the
trickling filters, which will reduce both problems, but that's not
due to be commissioned till twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Has the mayor walked back his let's put it in
the ocean thing at yet?
Speaker 9 (21:16):
No, And he's going to be on news talks b
Candorbory Mornings today.
Speaker 11 (21:19):
So we'll put it to him.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Great. Yeah, I mean it's a terrible choice. Do you
breathe it in or do you swim in it?
Speaker 10 (21:24):
You and eat it in your muscles? Seafood lunch, yuck.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
It's not funny. How's the weather?
Speaker 9 (21:32):
What is fun today is that it's fine. Northeasterly is
strong for Banks Peninsula. Otherwise twenty four all right, thanks
clear morning, Max, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
I've predictably a cost blowout with the fairies.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
No, no, this is so.
Speaker 12 (21:45):
This is a fairies issue that I think we're going
to be seeing more of increasingly over the next three
years before everything shiny and newish arrives in the capital
and in Pecton I suppose as well. But a mechanical
fault has reduced Kiwi Rails into Islander Fleet to a
single ferry in operation currently, the first time in four
(22:05):
years this has actually happened. Sailings and the Kayadaha have
been canceled until further notice. Hopefully it'll be back up
and running in a matter of days rather than weeks.
Apparently we just have to wait for a part to
come in from overseas. But down to one ferry for
inter islander freight affected as well.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
The third ferry.
Speaker 12 (22:24):
Of course, the Aditi retired in August.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Ah, I see what you're getting net there, because there's
also been the cost blow at with the replacement program
of one hundred and sixty seven million dollars Iver rebudd it.
Speaker 12 (22:34):
There is some dispute with Winston Peter's office as to
the veracity of that story. So still being stacked up,
still being verified.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Okay, all right, interesting and then most of the money
apparently will fall on the councils anyway, So we'll wait
and see what Winston says.
Speaker 12 (22:49):
How's our with exactly Yeah, I find today's norther least
twenty good.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
On your max. Thank you morning, Nevats. What are you
doing with rock pool foraging? But I can tell you.
Speaker 10 (23:02):
Okay, So there's a two year band now that comes
into effect today. Now this is for the east coast
north of Auckland, covering Funger Padola Peninsula, Calwo Bay and
Omaha Bay. But the question is like, yeah, what you
were saying earlier is the shellfish and seaweed should be
banned nationwide, this rock pool foraging. And Shane Jones, who's
(23:23):
obviously the Oceans and Fisheries Minister, he approved the band,
and this was after reports you know, up to two
hundred people a day with stripping those pools. Beare now
protect Funger Padole of Rock Pools Group founder Mark Lenton says,
this isn't just an issue, you know, an Auckland issue,
well north of Auckland. It's nationwide and all our coastlines
need to recover. So he says, you know, we can't
(23:44):
rely anymore on fisheries New Zealand to handle it because
you know, the underresourced and underfunded.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
So there we go.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah, I can just ban them, ban the whole together.
I don't really like bands, but it seems pretty obvious
that it needs to happen, you know what I mean?
I think so too.
Speaker 10 (23:59):
Hey, how so cloudy rain spreading south of the afternoon,
possibly heavy from tonight, Still hot though twenty four the
high here.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Thank you. It is eighteen away from six news Talk ZEDB.
We'll get to Ginny Anderson from Labor before top of
the hour and live to Washington. Next time is quarter
to six on Newstalk zb Ryan. Same thing happened, I mean,
the number of texts we're getting this morning on after
the Veggies, the same thing happened? You put the regulations
around them, and then the international option becomes cheaper, and
(24:28):
then we start buying that. Someone saying plywood, same thing
happened with plywood. Look at Tokodoa. Hey very quickly on
the fairies, because I mentioned with Max this story and
it was from the post from overnight Cooks Straight Fury project,
sorry from yesterday Cooks Straight Fairy projected one hundred and
sixty seven million dollars over budget. So the Minister in charge,
(24:49):
Winston Peters, has put out a press release. He's disputing that.
He says they have confused the total programs spend one
point eight six seven billion as announced in November, with
the Crown allocation within that which there will be no
more than one point seven billion. The result is a
confusion and misrepresentation of the facts. So there we go.
(25:13):
He's saying there is no blowout to see here.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Thank you very much, International correspondence with ends and eye insurance,
peace of mind for New Zealand business.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
They've got to the US. Trump's just spoken on that
attack on the school in Iran.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I'm a taught Iran new of course, that the military
investigation has found it with the United States that'structive. Four.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
I don't know about.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
It was very brief. Tragurudy Dave joins us a US correspondent,
Good morning morning. The US strikes on the navy vessels
in the strait, the how are they looking? What happened?
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Well?
Speaker 13 (25:50):
US Central commanders saying that they have eliminated multiple Iranian
naval vessels. That's thehrase that they're used on social media
and that's including stick c Stean mind layers near the
Strait of horm Moos and they posted about thirty four
seconds of unclassified footage showing the strikes. And this is
after President Trump said on truth social that if Iran
(26:11):
has put out any mines in the horn Moof strait,
we want them removed immediately. And there are some reports
that should suggest that that is exactly what Iran we're doing,
putting down explosives in that strait of water. Because the IRGC,
the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, was saying that they wouldn't
even let a liter of oil leave the strait if
(26:31):
youth Israel strikes continue in this strait is so crucial
around a quarter of the global seeborne oil that's traded
around the world is carried through that strait as well
as liquified natural gas and fertilizers. And since then this morning,
there's been strikes on three commercial ships near the Strait
(26:52):
of Horn Moose according to the UK TMO Monitoring Agency,
and one of those is a tie flagged cargo vessel.
The IGC has taken responsibility for that. Three people are missing,
twenty people have been rescued from that just gives you
an example of how this key waterway is so crucial
in this built part now of this conflict.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Absolutely, and we've got the International Energy Agency releasing well
announcing they're released four hundred million barrels of stockpiled oil,
which is the largest in history. But the price is
still going up because exactly what you've just been speaking
about to gritty.
Speaker 13 (27:26):
Yes, exactly, we've been seeing gas prices in the US
rise for the eleventh consecutive day. Oil prices they dipped slightly,
but were just over ninety dollars a barrel a few
hours ago, and that is much in the last month
or so. That's like a thirty percent rise approximately in
(27:46):
oil prices. So the roiling of the global oil markets
is this war is sending shock waves, and that is
one of the things that we're seeing, and we're seeing,
you know, people paying more for their gas at the
petrol pumps here in the US. And it's just adding
to a sense that you know, recent polling backing this
up that most of most Americans are not happy with
(28:06):
the way this conflict is going.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Appreciate your time to Greedy Dave, a US correspondent this morning.
It's eleven away from six D primary teachers here back
home threatening legal action against the Public Service Commission. Why
non union teachers were offered a pay rights around four
and a half to four point seven percent within twelve months,
roughly the same deal currently being negotiated with the union.
(28:28):
On her first full day in the job, Jenny Anderson,
Labour's education spokesperson, joins us lived any, good morning, come morning,
Thanks for having me on. Nice to have you here.
What's wrong with teachers getting a pay rise?
Speaker 11 (28:39):
Teachers do an amazing job every day, but this is
not going to help our kids learn and it's just
going to divide teachers and make life tougher for teachers
who are already leaving and going off to Australia.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
How will an extra fifty to seventy six dollars a
week in their back pocket. Stop them going to us,
not stop them going to Australia.
Speaker 11 (29:00):
This will divide teachers.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
It's a breach of good faith.
Speaker 11 (29:04):
So the way it usually happens is the collective agreement
is negotiated and then this process happens. This has been
used to divide teachers. And to be honest, if if
Erica Stanford really did put our kids first, she wouldn't
be pulling a stunt like this.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
But they're already divided because a third of them aren't
union members. They choose not to be. That's they're adults.
Speaker 11 (29:27):
Well, what happens usually is the collective agreement is negotiated
and then the individual happens after that. So by doing
it this way, it's sooe the divide's teachers. We've already
got a teacher shortage of over seven hundred teachers and
this is not going to help our kids leave.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
But how is not paying non union teachers more going
to help that shortage?
Speaker 11 (29:49):
Because it undermines the existing negotiation.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
We have to die. The one third, have to bend
over for the two third.
Speaker 11 (29:58):
Now, that's the way it always happen, and it's the
collective agreement is negotiating.
Speaker 14 (30:02):
How is that fair faith bargaining to the ten thousand
adult primary teachers out there who decide of their own
free will to not be union members, why should they
not get a pay rise?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Now, thank you very much.
Speaker 11 (30:18):
I hear what you're saying. I totally hear what you're saying.
But the way of doing this actually underlines teachers and
will pay them lease. They've been in good faith negotiations
with who the governments say before that you should go
back to the bargaining table and keep negotiating. The government
should take its.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Own jinny that the teachers, the two thirds who are
union members, could take this deal tomorrow too. They just
choose not to. Everyone has free will. We're all adults.
The kids are the ones that they teach.
Speaker 7 (30:45):
They choose not to.
Speaker 11 (30:46):
They choose not to because they believe they deserve better.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
They do in violence.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
They can have their beliefs, they can go and believe
in God for all I like. But why stop the
other ones? Why stop the other ones getting the money.
Speaker 11 (30:58):
Because at the end of the day, it will mean
least pay for our teachers, and we know that they
already get credible least no, No, it's not. As an
end of the day, it will not be more if
you look at more what's being offered and what's being
negotiated already, these people work incredibly hard. Ny.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
We have hows fifty to seventy six dollars extra a week,
not more.
Speaker 11 (31:22):
Because they would get more under the collective if that
kept being negotiated. The long game will provide more for
teachers and give them what they're asking for through the bargaining.
So this is a shortcut that gives them less money
and not as good conditions as what they would get.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Okay, sounds suspicious, Ginny, appreciate your time this morning, Ginny
Anderson from Labor. It is eight minutes away from six MIC.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Next the first word on the News of the Day
earlier edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof Love where
you Live News Talks'd.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Be welcome back. It has just gone six away from six.
We'll get to MIC in a few seconds. A z
it's card tracking data shows spending was up for February
point six percent, so annually up four point four percent
on the same time last year. Annual growth has been
positive for most sectors, which is good news. And then
as same goes with the inflation number out of the
(32:15):
US this morning, It's like, yeah, that's all good, but
then what happens now that the walls happened, you know,
Bryan Bridge morning, Mike, Greetings, what is this morning?
Speaker 8 (32:24):
Just sorry to interrupt because I'm sure you have something
really probing and gripping, but the what is this morning?
So what hinds?
Speaker 11 (32:31):
What is?
Speaker 8 (32:33):
We've got the CEO on that, so because I'm kind
of keen to know what's going on here because remember
the peaches thing was a thing last year. They weren't
talking and I'm thinking, you know, and this is material.
It's three hundred fifty jobs, and I'm just wondering if
the manufacturing all production of stuff in terms of fruit
and vegetables in this country is largely coming to an
end because the major player, of course.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
And then there's the growers. We've had the growers on
this morning, two hundred and twenty growers, two hundred and
twenty contracts that that you know will be very much
affected by this. And then they are saying it's all
the regulations because the same thing happened with pork, you know,
where the cheaper important stuff is what we buy because
they don't have the same regulation we have.
Speaker 8 (33:10):
That weird thing I'd pay a few extra cents to support,
and that is simply not true.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
We don't we don't know.
Speaker 8 (33:15):
We want the cheapest, crappiest stuff we can get into
the country, and that's the cold hard rein.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Not right now, especially not right now, No, exactly, we
can't afford it.
Speaker 8 (33:23):
And Nicholson as in the head of a New Zealand. Yes,
so I'm looking forward to that because of course that's
not about the price. I mean the price. I mean,
what can you do about the prices price of oils,
the price of oil. But I mean that the airlines
in trouble, big trouble, and so this is more trouble
on top of the trouble. And then you've got the
problem now of what needs to happen before they cut
a root, you know, to a small town, and how
(33:45):
many in which one, and what's their social license and
does the government at that point get involved. So some
of those things to deal with now it's come out
of the woodwork after my probing and strong editorial yesterday. Ryan,
I talked to him yesterday and I just had to
is it down because he's he's a bit over you,
to be frank. Anyway, I know that he was in Singapore,
so as soon as he came back to the country,
(34:06):
rang me from the airport. And you see he got
a company.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
He did, he did so. He did so first and
news I said, did you ring for the Yes?
Speaker 6 (34:12):
He did.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Mark next said Mark.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
For more from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge. Listen live
to News Talks. It'd be from five am weekdays, or
follow the podcast on iHeartRadio.
The issues, the interviews and the inside Ryan Bridge on
earlier ishaw with one roof Love where you live news talks.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
That'd be six after five. Great to have your company
coming up this morning. The teacher union that doesn't want
teachers getting a pay rise. The oil prices up again
over night. That's despite that release of the reserves. We'll
head to Washington for that. What is frozen veggies getting
the axe and is tana umang are getting the higher
the agenda Thursday, the twelfth of March. So they're releasing
(00:30):
the oil reserves. After all, four hundred barrels Love set along.
That'll be the biggest ever.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
This imagor action aiming to alleviate the immediate impacts of
the dissumption in markets. But to be clear, the most
important thing for a return to stable the flows of
oil and gas is the resumption of trusted through the
state of horrors, which.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Is not happening. And that's why you're seeing the price
of brin Crew go up over four bucks overnight to
more than nine twenty dollars again, up from about eighty six.
These ships have been hit by projectiles.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Trump obviously facing immense pressure to do something to break
up the log jam, the straight or from merse and
it's difficult for him to ignore how this is impact
in the global marketing.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yeah, we'll look at that a little deeper later in
the show. Documents this morning, heading to the UK, Lord Mandelssohn,
do we still call him that? Mandelssohn was US ambassador
and then when he was fired because of his links
to Epstein, he demanded wait for it, five hundred and
forty seven thousand pounds and a payout for being sacked,
(01:32):
and the end he got seventy five.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Peter Manderson initially requested a some that were substantially larger
than the final payment, not just two or even three times,
but more than six times the final amounts.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Right Starman was also warned this is the documents that
have been released about a reputational risk from hiring a game.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Minister has taken responsibility for Peter Mandelson's appointment as ambassador
to the United States. He has acknowledged it was a
mistake and has apologized to Australia.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Finally, this morning, a Ossie designer Katy Perry with an
Ie has won a long running trademark fight where the
pop star Katy Perry with a hy pop star. Piri
was selling merchand an Australian tour. This is way back
in twenty fourteen. The designer already owned the name.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
That's been a.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Hard journey, it's been very long, but today it doesn't
really matter.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Because I won and the court said basically, Katy Perry
the pop star is famous enough that people will know
the difference.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
Bridge and one roof Love, where you live News Talks.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
It'd be nine minutes after five nine two ninety two
is the number to text. Would love to hear from you.
We would also love to hear what happened last night
at Parliament. There was a meeting of Nicholas Oil Ministerial
Advisory Group. Let's call it her oil Mog. So the
oil mog met last night and one of the things
they were talking about we burned. Hicky mentioned this the
other day, but there was a report out from the
(03:07):
Post yesterday saying that South Korea which provides half of
our refined fuel because we got rid of Marsden Points,
so South Korea provides half of it. That they were
looking to end fuel exports, which would obviously have quite
a big impact on us. So that's one thing. They
were looking at the oil mog last night. So we'll
(03:27):
keep you up to date if we hear news on
what exactly they discussed. They were apparently getting a briefing
from officials on that exact issue. The other thing this
morning is, and I mentioned this was coming out today,
but inflation out of the US pretty tame. As expected.
Core inflation for February was up point two percent two
(03:48):
and a half percent annual rate. That was the same
as what was forecast by the Wall Street Journal, and
one analyst described it as ho hum. An analystic Clearbridge
Investments said it was stale. And the reason that he
said it with stale is because and the fact that
there was no real market reaction to this overnight is
because everyone is now looking to next month. Why the
(04:08):
war this month doesn't really matter. I mean, it's like
a good number in the sense that it's an expected number.
But what happens to prices once the oil starts to bite?
Ten after five, Ryan Bridge, So next we'll look at
tana Umaga. Is he going to the AB's ten after
five on.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Your radio and online? On iheard Radio Early Edition with
Ryan Bridge and one route Love where.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
You Live News Talks, he'd been well after five on
News Talks he'd been nine two nine two is the
number to text. Harry says, good morning Ryan. The fallout
from the HINZ what is thing is not just the
three hundred and fifty workers, two hundred and twenty contracts
are being canceled with the suppliers in Canterbury as well,
so that will have a massive down the line impact.
(04:57):
You're quite right that there will be a down the
line impact. And we're going to speak to David Hadfield shortly.
He's from a chair of Process Vegetables and Z. They've
had problems. You might remember last year. Late last year
there was an issue with the peaches coming in, all
the imported veggies that were coming in and we're being
switched out and so that's been an ongoing problem. Now
(05:18):
they have this, so we'll get an update on that
for you, Harry in just a second. Thirteen after five,
Bridge Abe's Legendana Humunger has reportedly been picked by Dave
Renny to be an assistant coach phase two of the
coaching reset. Elliott Smith News Talks said, be Rugby commentator
the voice of Rugby with us this morning, Morning Elliott.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Good morning Ryan.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Just so, do we know this or we think this?
Speaker 7 (05:39):
We think this?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Look?
Speaker 6 (05:40):
This has been a name among a banded about pretty
much ever since Sad Dave when he got the job
last week on our Rugby podcast and Sky's Rugby shows,
and I think that that confirmation is getting a little
bit closer on the basis of some of those reports yesterday.
Not really surprised at tima Umonga would be involved. Strong
connection todayd Rennie played under Dave Rennie for Wellington and
(06:03):
the NBC going back twenty five years now, but there's
a strong connection there. So not officially confirmed. I'm hearing
perhaps next week that the official announced in will we
made around the assistant coaches, but seems more likely than
not now that tana Umonger will be one of them.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
What about Neil Barnes, Yeah, he's right in the mix.
Speaker 6 (06:21):
As well, and he's a coach that's worked with Dave
Rennie at the Chiefs for a number of seasons during
that very successful tenure, then went back to Tartanaki. So
we're seeing out the basis of Dave Renney's coaching team
begin to form. Ryan now Neil Barnes will be there,
is my understanding. Tana Umanger obviously very very close as well.
There's other names that have been mentioned. Mike Bleer, who
(06:44):
works with Dave Renni currently in Kobe, Scottish attack coach,
likely to join the set up. Andrew Strawbridge, who again
has worked with Dave Rennie in plenty of places including
the Chiefs before, likely to be there as well. And
then probably Jason Ryan is likely to be the only
survivor of the previous All Blacks regime that will keep
(07:04):
a job under this new setup of Dave Rennie. So
the more we're hearing about it Ryan, the more it
sounds like it's going to be a complete clear out
of the assistant coaches under Dave Rennie for this new
All Blacks regime.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
And what does that tell you, Elliott about what his
plan is and of those names that you have mentioned,
what style he's going for?
Speaker 6 (07:23):
Well, I think he's going to want to play a
heads up, attacking style of football, but also need to
balance that with the way that international rugby is in played.
I don't think we can see the Dave Rennie style
that we saw at the Chiefs working twelve years ago
work at an international rugby because international rugby has changed
so much in that time. But he's put himself around
a lot of coaches that he works with you across
(07:45):
a number of clubs, has strong relations with and can trust.
And we saw in the last setup that you know,
there was fallouts with different assistant coaches that didn't quite
work out. He's surrounded himself with people that he knows
he can work with, knows or believes that they can
get the best out of and deliver the All Blacks,
you know, World Cup win next year. So it'll be
interesting to see what portfolios each of them take. I'd
to spect Dave had a time at Umonger would probably
(08:06):
look at a defense portfolio. That's where he's worked with,
specifically with the Blues previously, currently Mwana Pacific as head coach,
and your Barnes likely to be around the Fords and
maybe a little bit of attack as well. But that's
going to be interesting to see how they divvy up
those portfolios once it's all said and done.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Good on you all. Alex Smith News talks zb's Voice
of Rugby. It's sixteen after five. I like tana Umaga
just because when I was a kid and I was
sort of forced to watch rugby. It was the hurricanes
and it was the Tan of Umanga days and they
were very good days. Indeed, right, we'd love your feedback
this morning. Nine two ninety two is the number to
text and we will talk about the boddies. Hinds are
(08:43):
getting lots of texts on that talk about the body's
hine situation in just a few moments. Also this morning,
the price I mentioned the price of Brent crew had
gone up futures up past ninety dollars from eighty six
because and the reason for that, even though they've released
the four hundred million barrels of oil, the International and
Energy Agency or of IT announced that they will do
(09:04):
that largest in history the Ukraine War. Remember they released
one hundred and eighty eight barrels, so we're now up
above double that. The reason the price has gone up
is because there are mines that they are putting in
the strait. This is Iran in the Strait of Humus
and the UK says that three cargo ships have been
hit by projectiles there. So it's like you can release
(09:26):
all the oil you want, but when the passage through
which a fifth of it must travel is still being
mined and bombed. Very difficult. News Talk said B Views.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
And Views you trust to start your day. It's early
edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof love where you live.
News Talk said B.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Five.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
You're going to hear today from Nikol Ravashenka, who's the
in New Zealand boss, who's fronting after Well, you know what.
We've spoken about that yesterday. But Quantas they're not the
only one hiking prices. Quantus is doing it as well.
They're just doing it in a more roundabout We're not
quite sure exactly how much weigh in New Zealand came
out and said ten dollars, twenty dollars and then ninety
dollars for long haul. Quantus has said it will depend
(10:10):
on which route you are taking. Their price increase, there
is an analyst out of the U, out of Australia,
I should say, who says they reckon five percent across
the board is what they're increasing their prices by. But
more worryingly, the full impact of what we're seeing right
now on the oil markets won't be felt for three
to six months. Brian, what happens to the veggie growers?
(10:32):
What is looking to act production of its frozen vegetables,
plans to shut three facilities, three hundred and fifty jobs
on the line, high costs, tough manufacturing environment to blame.
David Hadfield is chair of Processed Vegetables New Zealand with
me Live this morning. Morning, David, Morning, What happens to
the contracts with growers?
Speaker 7 (10:52):
Oh, well, contracts are annual, so this current year's contracts
pea harvest has just finished. Beans arounder Way character still
to happen, so it'll be next season that it will
affect us because normally in May through to June July,
(11:13):
the Waddi's reps are out around seeing growers and signing
up for the next season. But they will have grown
pea seed for next season, so that's probably sitting in
a grain store at the stage unless they'd let those
guys know earlier than this, but I doubt they would
(11:33):
have because it would have got out if that had
to happen.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
So what happens to that and what happens to the growers.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
The growers now are going to have to look for
other crop options. Process peas and beans were a good
restorative crop and their rotation on an arable farm, so
now they'll be looking for other restorative crops to put
in its place.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
There will be some.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
Pe seed in peace for the feed industry contracts around.
But he's a difficult decision for some growers because they
rely on the cash flow of the process crop, mainly
because you pay it's a ninety to one hundred and
ten day crop and you're paid in the month after
(12:25):
its harvesters, and you don't have to We didn't have
to pay the harvest cost that was covered as part
of the wadi's contract.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
And a harvesting's obviously a lot more expensive now the
price of pet oil's going the way it is. David,
what happens? What can you give us an idea of
the financial impact for growers of this, Well, it's.
Speaker 7 (12:48):
It's one crop in a rotation that pays around what
an average crop would be so and generally most most
rollers it's one peddic of peas or a pedic of
peas and a paedic of beans. So they'll replace it
with another crop. But it's most of the cash flow
(13:11):
implication more than they're replacing the crop, right, and a
lot of crops we don't get paid for months after
harvest for but as far as money wheat, it could
be eighteen months after you've planted the crop before you're
actually getting paid. Process crops it's short term, three months
(13:35):
growing season and paid in month four.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
What's going on here?
Speaker 5 (13:40):
Is this?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
What these thing? Or we're not eating beans and peas.
Speaker 7 (13:44):
We're not eating as much New Zealand vegetable consumptions dropping
New Zealand does that need to eat more vegetables because
it's a good, healthy product. It's going to put a
burden on the health system if they don't eat more healthy,
fresh and frozen vegetables. But there is a lot of
(14:05):
important product coming in, Yeah, and that is affecting us.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I was reading at the end of last year, there
were lots of stories around about this. Do you think
that's part of the problem here?
Speaker 7 (14:16):
It is, it's definitely part of the problem. Yeah, New Zealand.
We grow some of the best and highest yearing process
crops in the world. But the cost of production, and
that's not only the fuel costs and fertilizer costs and
(14:38):
chemical costs, it's also the regular liatery costs on us
to actually grow crops. Now, it's quite prohibitive and quite
time consuming doing the paperwork.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
So what does that mean that we will grow less
of them?
Speaker 7 (14:56):
Yes, there's still New Zealand growing process crops going to
be available through McCain Foods and Hawks Bay and Telly's
and Expersion, which I suggest that New Zealanders need to
hunt out the packaging and the supermarket look at where
it's growing, not not where it's packaged, because quite often
(15:19):
the imported product is coming in in bulk and then
packaged in New Zealand. We need to look at actually
where it's growing.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Roger but that David appreciate that. That's David Hadfield, their
chair of Process Vegetables, New Zealand twenty five after five
Will do the teachers next?
Speaker 1 (15:34):
The early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio power by News.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Talks IV five twenty seven News Talks it be. I
can't see what the problem is with teachers getting a
pay rise. Can you guess who does have a problem
with teachers getting a pay rise? A teachers union? I know,
how does that work? The union that's always saying teachers
are undervalued, they're underpaid, doesn't want to pay rise. They're
actually going to take legal act to try and stop
(16:01):
it from happening. It's upside down day today, folks. It's
back to front. This is the primary teacher union. They've
been dragging out collective bargaining nine months in counting now,
so in the meantime Old Mates of Brian Roch is
offering non union teachers employed on individual agreements up to
an extra four point seven percent within twelve months. That's
(16:21):
two and a half percent from March, then two point
one percent next year. This is, according to the government,
an extra fifty to seventy six bucks a week in
your pocket for a teacher. A third of primary teachers
that's about ten thousand aren't part of the union. Now
the union doesn't like this because they say it's the
government trying to break their unity. But the reality is
(16:45):
they're not unified. A third of them don't pay subs
to the union, so therefore can go down the individual
route with school boards. Last time I checked, they were adults.
It's the kids that they're teaching, remember, and the union members,
by the way, they can accept this off for two
but they choose not to. Well, the union chooses not to.
To your average key, we are union trying to stop
(17:07):
non union teachers from getting a pay rise during a
cost of living crisis by bringing in their expensive lawyers
looks messy, controlling and frankly a little unfair. Throw into
the mix, you've got the other teacher unions demanding updates
on the war in Gaza and the fact that student
achievement was pretty much in the bin for many years,
and they start to look well beyond out of touch
(17:30):
with the rest of us, don't they. News Talks, they'd
be to the US.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Next the news you need this morning and the in
depth analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Roote
love where you live news Talks at b.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
When you brought away from Sexier on News Talks, they'd
be great to have you here. On a Thursday morning,
we head to Washington. The US says they've hits five
and a half one thousand targets in Iran in the
last twenty four or so hours. We'll get an update
on that. Also, laborism to explain their support for this
teacher pay well, the union side of the teacher pay
stash loads of your texts this morning. Nice to hear
(18:14):
from you morning, Ryan says, Mike, great show. What's happening
to the veggies. Is the same as happened to bacon.
It's cheaper to import overseas products because we have so
many regulations here. And that is true. That did happen
with bacon, Ryan, what is what's happening there is the
start of things to come? Do we want our vegetables
all to arrive on a ship?
Speaker 7 (18:34):
Look?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
What's happening to the oil? I mean it's a good point,
isn't it? Another person? And this is the flip side
of the coin. I'm sorry, but I'll be shopping the cheapest.
I can't afford New Zealand products anymore, spry and Bridge said, said,
but it is true and part of the reason for
that is because they are more difficult to make because
there are more regulations when making and growing products here,
(18:58):
primary industries here. So do we want to do something
about that or do we want to just keep getting
more and more expensive and pricing ourselves out of our
own goods. Let's go to our reporters this morning, Rosie
for duned In morning, Rosie, good morning. What's going on
with Santana's illegal Hilltop communications tower?
Speaker 5 (19:17):
So Australian mining company Santana is tearing down an illegal
Hilltop Communications Tower only a month after putting it up.
ODT reports a Facebook post on February twentieth showed images
of the tower on the summit of Battery Hill and
the Bendigo Hills, but the post has since been taken down.
The Central Otago District Council sent an abatement notice on
(19:39):
March sixth saying required resource consents hadn't been obtained. The
structures must be removed. Central Otago District Mayor Tama Ali
says Santana has agreed to do so by March thirtieth.
It comes to Santana six fast track consents for a
proposed gold mine and the Bendigo, oh Fair site that
could create more than eight hundred and sixty jobs over
(20:01):
fourteen years.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
All right, Rosie, how's the weather.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
It's actually mainly fine today, but cloud will increase in
the evening with a spot or two of light rain.
Northerly is becoming strong for a bit in the afternoon
in a high of twenty four degrees.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Rosa, you enjoyed that weather and have a lovely day.
Thank you. Clears and christ morning Claire, good morning. So
what's going on with the missions?
Speaker 8 (20:24):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (20:24):
Yes, well, we've got climbing emissions here. We've found out
that Christiat City Council's emissions have increased by almost seven
eight hundred tons between twenty twenty four and twenty five.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
That's after they foul the year prior.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Now sixty four.
Speaker 9 (20:38):
Percent of that came from wastewater treatment. We know, of
course that's done at Bromley, which has been in our
news since the fire, and also the stink that impacts
all of us here. Trouble is, though, the treatment processes
that are in place at the plant for now are
also responsible for the higher emissions and odors. So a
council spokesperson says, while there is a planned solution for
(20:58):
this to bring down both the emissions and the stink,
it's certainly not a quick fix.
Speaker 10 (21:02):
It's two years away.
Speaker 9 (21:03):
They're working on this activated sludge reactor to replace the
trickling filters, which will reduce both problems, but that's not
due to be commissioned till twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Has the mayor walked back his let's put it in
the ocean thing at yet?
Speaker 9 (21:16):
No, And he's going to be on news talks b
Candorbory Mornings today.
Speaker 11 (21:19):
So we'll put it to him.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Great. Yeah, I mean it's a terrible choice. Do you
breathe it in or do you swim in it?
Speaker 10 (21:24):
You and eat it in your muscles? Seafood lunch, yuck.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
It's not funny. How's the weather?
Speaker 9 (21:32):
What is fun today is that it's fine. Northeasterly is
strong for Banks Peninsula. Otherwise twenty four all right, thanks
clear morning, Max, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
I've predictably a cost blowout with the fairies.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
No, no, this is so.
Speaker 12 (21:45):
This is a fairies issue that I think we're going
to be seeing more of increasingly over the next three
years before everything shiny and newish arrives in the capital
and in Pecton I suppose as well. But a mechanical
fault has reduced Kiwi Rails into Islander Fleet to a
single ferry in operation currently, the first time in four
(22:05):
years this has actually happened. Sailings and the Kayadaha have
been canceled until further notice. Hopefully it'll be back up
and running in a matter of days rather than weeks.
Apparently we just have to wait for a part to
come in from overseas. But down to one ferry for
inter islander freight affected as well.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
The third ferry.
Speaker 12 (22:24):
Of course, the Aditi retired in August.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Ah, I see what you're getting net there, because there's
also been the cost blow at with the replacement program
of one hundred and sixty seven million dollars Iver rebudd it.
Speaker 12 (22:34):
There is some dispute with Winston Peter's office as to
the veracity of that story. So still being stacked up,
still being verified.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Okay, all right, interesting and then most of the money
apparently will fall on the councils anyway, So we'll wait
and see what Winston says.
Speaker 12 (22:49):
How's our with exactly Yeah, I find today's norther least
twenty good.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
On your max. Thank you morning, Nevats. What are you
doing with rock pool foraging? But I can tell you.
Speaker 10 (23:02):
Okay, So there's a two year band now that comes
into effect today. Now this is for the east coast
north of Auckland, covering Funger Padola Peninsula, Calwo Bay and
Omaha Bay. But the question is like, yeah, what you
were saying earlier is the shellfish and seaweed should be
banned nationwide, this rock pool foraging. And Shane Jones, who's
(23:23):
obviously the Oceans and Fisheries Minister, he approved the band,
and this was after reports you know, up to two
hundred people a day with stripping those pools. Beare now
protect Funger Padole of Rock Pools Group founder Mark Lenton says,
this isn't just an issue, you know, an Auckland issue,
well north of Auckland. It's nationwide and all our coastlines
need to recover. So he says, you know, we can't
(23:44):
rely anymore on fisheries New Zealand to handle it because
you know, the underresourced and underfunded.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
So there we go.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah, I can just ban them, ban the whole together.
I don't really like bands, but it seems pretty obvious
that it needs to happen, you know what I mean?
I think so too.
Speaker 10 (23:59):
Hey, how so cloudy rain spreading south of the afternoon,
possibly heavy from tonight, Still hot though twenty four the
high here.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Thank you. It is eighteen away from six news Talk ZEDB.
We'll get to Ginny Anderson from Labor before top of
the hour and live to Washington. Next time is quarter
to six on Newstalk zb Ryan. Same thing happened, I mean,
the number of texts we're getting this morning on after
the Veggies, the same thing happened? You put the regulations
around them, and then the international option becomes cheaper, and
(24:28):
then we start buying that. Someone saying plywood, same thing
happened with plywood. Look at Tokodoa. Hey very quickly on
the fairies, because I mentioned with Max this story and
it was from the post from overnight Cooks Straight Fury project,
sorry from yesterday Cooks Straight Fairy projected one hundred and
sixty seven million dollars over budget. So the Minister in charge,
(24:49):
Winston Peters, has put out a press release. He's disputing that.
He says they have confused the total programs spend one
point eight six seven billion as announced in November, with
the Crown allocation within that which there will be no
more than one point seven billion. The result is a
confusion and misrepresentation of the facts. So there we go.
(25:13):
He's saying there is no blowout to see here.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Thank you very much, International correspondence with ends and eye insurance,
peace of mind for New Zealand business.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
They've got to the US. Trump's just spoken on that
attack on the school in Iran.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I'm a taught Iran new of course, that the military
investigation has found it with the United States that'structive. Four.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
I don't know about.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
It was very brief. Tragurudy Dave joins us a US correspondent,
Good morning morning. The US strikes on the navy vessels
in the strait, the how are they looking? What happened?
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Well?
Speaker 13 (25:50):
US Central commanders saying that they have eliminated multiple Iranian
naval vessels. That's thehrase that they're used on social media
and that's including stick c Stean mind layers near the
Strait of horm Moos and they posted about thirty four
seconds of unclassified footage showing the strikes. And this is
after President Trump said on truth social that if Iran
(26:11):
has put out any mines in the horn Moof strait,
we want them removed immediately. And there are some reports
that should suggest that that is exactly what Iran we're doing,
putting down explosives in that strait of water. Because the IRGC,
the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, was saying that they wouldn't
even let a liter of oil leave the strait if
(26:31):
youth Israel strikes continue in this strait is so crucial
around a quarter of the global seeborne oil that's traded
around the world is carried through that strait as well
as liquified natural gas and fertilizers. And since then this morning,
there's been strikes on three commercial ships near the Strait
(26:52):
of Horn Moose according to the UK TMO Monitoring Agency,
and one of those is a tie flagged cargo vessel.
The IGC has taken responsibility for that. Three people are missing,
twenty people have been rescued from that just gives you
an example of how this key waterway is so crucial
in this built part now of this conflict.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Absolutely, and we've got the International Energy Agency releasing well
announcing they're released four hundred million barrels of stockpiled oil,
which is the largest in history. But the price is
still going up because exactly what you've just been speaking
about to gritty.
Speaker 13 (27:26):
Yes, exactly, we've been seeing gas prices in the US
rise for the eleventh consecutive day. Oil prices they dipped slightly,
but were just over ninety dollars a barrel a few
hours ago, and that is much in the last month
or so. That's like a thirty percent rise approximately in
(27:46):
oil prices. So the roiling of the global oil markets
is this war is sending shock waves, and that is
one of the things that we're seeing, and we're seeing,
you know, people paying more for their gas at the
petrol pumps here in the US. And it's just adding
to a sense that you know, recent polling backing this
up that most of most Americans are not happy with
(28:06):
the way this conflict is going.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Appreciate your time to Greedy Dave, a US correspondent this morning.
It's eleven away from six D primary teachers here back
home threatening legal action against the Public Service Commission. Why
non union teachers were offered a pay rights around four
and a half to four point seven percent within twelve months,
roughly the same deal currently being negotiated with the union.
(28:28):
On her first full day in the job, Jenny Anderson,
Labour's education spokesperson, joins us lived any, good morning, come morning,
Thanks for having me on. Nice to have you here.
What's wrong with teachers getting a pay rise?
Speaker 11 (28:39):
Teachers do an amazing job every day, but this is
not going to help our kids learn and it's just
going to divide teachers and make life tougher for teachers
who are already leaving and going off to Australia.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
How will an extra fifty to seventy six dollars a
week in their back pocket. Stop them going to us,
not stop them going to Australia.
Speaker 11 (29:00):
This will divide teachers.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
It's a breach of good faith.
Speaker 11 (29:04):
So the way it usually happens is the collective agreement
is negotiated and then this process happens. This has been
used to divide teachers. And to be honest, if if
Erica Stanford really did put our kids first, she wouldn't
be pulling a stunt like this.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
But they're already divided because a third of them aren't
union members. They choose not to be. That's they're adults.
Speaker 11 (29:27):
Well, what happens usually is the collective agreement is negotiated
and then the individual happens after that. So by doing
it this way, it's sooe the divide's teachers. We've already
got a teacher shortage of over seven hundred teachers and
this is not going to help our kids leave.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
But how is not paying non union teachers more going
to help that shortage?
Speaker 11 (29:49):
Because it undermines the existing negotiation.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
We have to die. The one third, have to bend
over for the two third.
Speaker 11 (29:58):
Now, that's the way it always happen, and it's the
collective agreement is negotiating.
Speaker 14 (30:02):
How is that fair faith bargaining to the ten thousand
adult primary teachers out there who decide of their own
free will to not be union members, why should they
not get a pay rise?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Now, thank you very much.
Speaker 11 (30:18):
I hear what you're saying. I totally hear what you're saying.
But the way of doing this actually underlines teachers and
will pay them lease. They've been in good faith negotiations
with who the governments say before that you should go
back to the bargaining table and keep negotiating. The government
should take its.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Own jinny that the teachers, the two thirds who are
union members, could take this deal tomorrow too. They just
choose not to. Everyone has free will. We're all adults.
The kids are the ones that they teach.
Speaker 7 (30:45):
They choose not to.
Speaker 11 (30:46):
They choose not to because they believe they deserve better.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
They do in violence.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
They can have their beliefs, they can go and believe
in God for all I like. But why stop the
other ones? Why stop the other ones getting the money.
Speaker 11 (30:58):
Because at the end of the day, it will mean
least pay for our teachers, and we know that they
already get credible least no, No, it's not. As an
end of the day, it will not be more if
you look at more what's being offered and what's being
negotiated already, these people work incredibly hard. Ny.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
We have hows fifty to seventy six dollars extra a week,
not more.
Speaker 11 (31:22):
Because they would get more under the collective if that
kept being negotiated. The long game will provide more for
teachers and give them what they're asking for through the bargaining.
So this is a shortcut that gives them less money
and not as good conditions as what they would get.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Okay, sounds suspicious, Ginny, appreciate your time this morning, Ginny
Anderson from Labor. It is eight minutes away from six MIC.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Next the first word on the News of the Day
earlier edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof Love where
you Live News Talks'd.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Be welcome back. It has just gone six away from six.
We'll get to MIC in a few seconds. A z
it's card tracking data shows spending was up for February
point six percent, so annually up four point four percent
on the same time last year. Annual growth has been
positive for most sectors, which is good news. And then
as same goes with the inflation number out of the
(32:15):
US this morning, It's like, yeah, that's all good, but
then what happens now that the walls happened, you know,
Bryan Bridge morning, Mike, Greetings, what is this morning?
Speaker 8 (32:24):
Just sorry to interrupt because I'm sure you have something
really probing and gripping, but the what is this morning?
So what hinds?
Speaker 11 (32:31):
What is?
Speaker 8 (32:33):
We've got the CEO on that, so because I'm kind
of keen to know what's going on here because remember
the peaches thing was a thing last year. They weren't
talking and I'm thinking, you know, and this is material.
It's three hundred fifty jobs, and I'm just wondering if
the manufacturing all production of stuff in terms of fruit
and vegetables in this country is largely coming to an
end because the major player, of course.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
And then there's the growers. We've had the growers on
this morning, two hundred and twenty growers, two hundred and
twenty contracts that that you know will be very much
affected by this. And then they are saying it's all
the regulations because the same thing happened with pork, you know,
where the cheaper important stuff is what we buy because
they don't have the same regulation we have.
Speaker 8 (33:10):
That weird thing I'd pay a few extra cents to support,
and that is simply not true.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
We don't we don't know.
Speaker 8 (33:15):
We want the cheapest, crappiest stuff we can get into
the country, and that's the cold hard rein.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Not right now, especially not right now, No, exactly, we
can't afford it.
Speaker 8 (33:23):
And Nicholson as in the head of a New Zealand. Yes,
so I'm looking forward to that because of course that's
not about the price. I mean the price. I mean,
what can you do about the prices price of oils,
the price of oil. But I mean that the airlines
in trouble, big trouble, and so this is more trouble
on top of the trouble. And then you've got the
problem now of what needs to happen before they cut
a root, you know, to a small town, and how
(33:45):
many in which one, and what's their social license and
does the government at that point get involved. So some
of those things to deal with now it's come out
of the woodwork after my probing and strong editorial yesterday. Ryan,
I talked to him yesterday and I just had to
is it down because he's he's a bit over you,
to be frank. Anyway, I know that he was in Singapore,
so as soon as he came back to the country,
(34:06):
rang me from the airport. And you see he got
a company.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
He did, he did so. He did so first and
news I said, did you ring for the Yes?
Speaker 6 (34:12):
He did.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Mark next said Mark.
