Speaker 2 (00:12):
Welcome to Friday six after five. We'll look at the
Regulatory Standards Bill that's now passed into law. We're in
the UK with Vincent mcavney, Elliot Smith with the AB's
camp and a musical guest for your Friday morning. Also,
those tourism numbers will take a look at those. And
there's a big shopping bag in space that's collecting rubbish.
I know it sounds weird. I'll tell you about it shortly.
(00:35):
The agenda Friday, their fourteenth of November. The US shutdown
is over.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
And out to sign this incredible bill and get our
country work in again.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
That is until January, and then they're back to square one.
More Epstein emails out overnight. Everybody seems to be believing
this dead pedophile over a sitting president.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
Where they have the Attorney General and the director of
the FBI doing something as grossly and appropriate as trying
to larby members of Congress to get their names off
of this discharge petition. It's just if the report's all right,
why is the White House freaking out so much?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
This is not the behavior of someone who doesn't have
something to hide. We'll have more on that later on
the program and other emails, Epstein appears to confirm that
Andrew not prints it, just Andrew from the pub was
photographed with Virginia jew Fray. Of course, Andrew still denies
ever meeting her.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
Epstein rate, yes she was on my plane, and yes
she had her picture taken with Andrew, as many of
my employees have.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Finally this morning, don't go to a fortune teller because
it's a waste of money. And if you want proof
of that. Australia, there's a mother daughter duo there who
are and they're apparently not just fortune tellers but masters
of fun Shwe been charged with scamming nearly seventy million
dollars from von Vietnamese victims. Polease say the mother convinced
(02:03):
people to take out loans by promising a billionaire was
going to come into their future.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
The fifty three year old has claimed to be a
fung Shui master and fortune.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Teller who convinced these vulnerable people.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
To become a mule in the criminal syndicate where they
would receive it amount of money, and each time she
convinced these people to do these lines, she would pocket
at least one hundred and fifty thousand dollars herself.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
Bridge and are the Supercenter, explore r these accessories and
servicing all in one news talks.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
That'd be great to have your company on a Friday morning.
Just go on eight minutes after five nine two ninety
two is the numbered text. Now the Regulatory Standards Bill.
This is the big the loudest noise for the weakest
law I think I've ever seen. Why is everybody, Well, no,
that's not even the right question. Everyone and up and
arms about this. It's just a couple of opposition MPs,
(03:04):
and it's some submitters to a select committee who never
really represent properly the public opinion, do they? I think
it was ninety nine percent of submitters were opposed to
this Regulatory Standards Bill. Here's the thing that this is
the reason you shouldn't even care about this bill, and
to be fair, a reason that it's not a serious
bill to begin with. So it's a criticism both of
(03:25):
Seymour but also of the people winging about it. There's
no legal enforcement, there's no legal obligation. This is just
a couple of principles written into law that you must consider.
You don't have to do anything or not do anything
based on this piece of legislation. So why is everyone
so upset about it? Because it's David Seymour's That's why
(03:47):
everyone hates David Seymour. Well, everyone on the left hates
David Seymour and they're like, oh, what's he doing? Okay,
let's rage against that. That's pretty much what's happening. We're
going to talk to Duncan web about this just before
six o'clock this morning. But do not be afraid of
a couple of principles written on a piece of paper
that are not even legally enforceable. Bryan b That's why
(04:09):
most people. Have you been to a barbecue lately and
someone said, oh, I must talk to you about the
regulatory standard? No, no one does that because no one
even knows about it, because it's not important. People are
smart and they know what they need to take their
you know, pay attention to. Anyway we'll talk to them
about they're planning to repel it and all this sort
of stuff. We'll talk to them before six o'clock this morning.
(04:30):
Now over in the UK, we'll talk to Vincent mcavinie
as well. He's on about quarter two over in the UK.
They've got a problem, like many countries around the world do.
They've got a problem, and it's trying to balance your budget, right,
trying to pay down your deficit, trying to get the
books in order. And Rachel Reeves is about to announce
because member yesterday we mentioned they've got their budget in
(04:50):
a couple of weeks time. While she is going to
announce tax increases they reckon of about thirty billion pounds
so seventy billion at New Zealand dollars one percent of GDP,
and taken together with their last round of tax increases,
that would take Britain's taxes the biggest increase in them
(05:10):
since the mid nineteen seventies and would take the tax
take to thirty seven to thirty eight percent of GDP,
highest level ever. Because well, you know the age old problem,
an aging population are lower tax take, a big deficit.
What do you do you either borrow, can't do that,
don't want to freak the markets out, so we tax
(05:31):
a cut spending. No, they don't want to do that
because it's a labor government. So increase in taxes. So
you've got Carnie in Canada, You've got res and Starmer
in the UK. Will you have Hipkins in New Zealand
come next year? Five eleven on news Talk said, b
are we musical interlude for you?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Next views and views you trust to start your day
in Earlier this Ship with Bryan Bridge and r V
Supercenter explore RV's accessories.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Answer a sing fall in one News Talk ZB.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Five point fourteen on News Talk ZB, have you ever
heard of a pub choir? It's this new thing taking
the internet by storm. Astra Jorgensen, who was actually born
in New Zealand, thirty four year old former schoolteacher goes
on America's Got Talent, massive audience and puts this video online.
It gets huge views and clicks. People are absolutely loving it.
(06:23):
She gets hundreds of audience members to sing together. They
don't know what's going on until they arrive and this happens.
(06:51):
It's pretty cool. That's a choir that didn't know it
was going to be a choir before they arrived there.
Astra Jorgensen is the Australian vocalist and conductor and joins
me this morning, Good morning.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
Good morning, so nice to chat with you. O, nice.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
To have you here. That clip is going viral. It's
all over the world. What was it like doing it?
Speaker 8 (07:09):
I mean, it's sort of crazy because it happened a
long time ago for me. I did it all the
way back in March in America, and then I had
to hold onto the secret for like six months, and
I couldn't tell a single person, and so I had
this strange experience that I went through, and then suddenly
it popped up on TV and then it exploded online.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
Over one hundred million people.
Speaker 8 (07:33):
Have watched me at work, I guess, which is wild.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
I sort of can't really fathom it.
Speaker 8 (07:40):
If I'm being honest, I don't really think about it
that much because it's just too big to know. You
know that a hundred million people or something crazy like
that have seen me do my thing.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
There stood Africa's obviously an iconic song people know, are
there's some songs that work, some that don't. Have you
had any flops?
Speaker 8 (07:57):
Oh, I mean I've done probably I do a different
song at every show or every tour, So I mean,
I would have done about four hundred shows. So I've
tried a lot of songs. I mean, obviously some some
are better than others. But it's more that I arrange
the song for each audience. And so it's not just
(08:18):
that the song is important for the show, but it's
more that the way that I decide to split up
the notes and write some new harmonies and depending on
how the audience.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
Feels like every show is entirely unique.
Speaker 8 (08:32):
So for sure some shows are better than others, but
it depends on so many things, how people feel, how
I've done the arrangement, you know. But what's exciting for
me is it's unfolding in front of us all. Like
the point of the show for me is that we
can make art together in real time. And so even
if it even if it's not everyone's favorite song, or
(08:54):
if I give some weird instructions sometimes because I'm figuring
out on stage, it's exciting to me that it's always unique.
I really want people to feel excited about that too,
that we can make something that exists just for us
tonight and it will feel new and good and we
with the creators.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Music's an energy thing, isn't it. It's transferring energy from
one to another. And to have so many people involved
in doing it. I mean you look at the people's
faces and they almost get it. They get a mess
of buzz out of the fact that it is them
doing it.
Speaker 8 (09:25):
Yeah, I mean it looks like a great show. I'd
love to attend myself.
Speaker 7 (09:28):
But I'm always doing it.
Speaker 8 (09:29):
But I mean, like you are for sure right that
it is something really deeply human, Like you can't be
in a choir by yourself.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
You have to sing with other people.
Speaker 8 (09:39):
You have to work together, and I think it's this
really joyful equalizing experience. Like we've all sung in groups before,
it really hits different, you know, when there's a thousand
voices carrying something together. It's this strange mix between I
am contributing and also I am not that important. And
(10:00):
I think it's like a really nice line to walk
as a person who sings in the choir, to realize
that you are making the choir sound different because your
voice is unique and you are contributing, but just as
much as everybody else.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
And so that's in safety in numbers, safety and numbers too.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Well.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I've always been curious America's Got Talent? Did you apply
to go on that show? Or how does it work?
Do they go and ask people to appear?
Speaker 8 (10:27):
Well, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to even say,
but I'll tell you what they did ask me to
apply because I'd.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
Never even seen the show.
Speaker 8 (10:34):
I don't know how to watch America's Got Talent because
I live in Australia. I was born in New Zealand,
but I live in Australia. I don't even think we
show their show. But they did get in touch online.
I think they'd seen some videos because pub Qua has
been going for eight and a half years. I've been
doing every single show the whole time, and I think
they must have seen some of my clips online and thought,
(10:56):
oh that looks fun.
Speaker 7 (10:58):
Yeah, And I mean I'll say, yeah, standingthing once.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Yeah, lovely to talk to you. Thanks so much for
being on the show.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
I've had the loveliest time singing across New Zealand, so thanks.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
For having me.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Ah, yes, are we any good at singing?
Speaker 7 (11:12):
You're so good at singing. There's an incredible singing culture
across New Zealand.
Speaker 8 (11:16):
I mean, you know, I do live in Australia and
they're okay, but New Zealand is really I don't know,
seem to tap into something together and to share that
moment really nicely and you laugh a lot, and I
just have the best time with New Zealand audiences.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Nice flattery. Estrad Jorgensen, who's with us Australian vocalist and conductor.
Very cool. Indeed. Five nineteen Billie Talk has been reunited
with the number thirteen Jersey for the AB's. Robinson's announced
the team overnight. This is play England on Sunday morning,
our time. He's starting at center. We'll talk to Elliott
Smith next.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Ryan Bridge on early edition with r V Supercenter, explore
r v's accessories and servicing, all in one news talks.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
It'd be twenty two news talks here, but you're going
to hand it to Louise Upstonce. She is getting the
tourism numbers back up Australia. This is for the year.
Arrivals from Australia up one hundred and fifty three thousand
to one point four eight million, the US up twenty
one thousand, the UK up twenty thousand, Japan up ten thousand,
China holding steady. Unfortunately, the problem with all of this
(12:19):
is that the Aussies are coming here. The Aussies are
bringing us back, and they don't spend as much and
they don't stay as long. So this the you know,
the value is not as good as the top line
number would suggest. Monthly arrivals, we are going to hit
ninety five percent of pre COVID. That's full September. However,
for the year we're still at about eighty seven percent
(12:40):
of pre COVID. We're just not quite getting out of
that funk just yet, and certainly that is part A
big part of that problem is the Chinese twenty three
minutes after five Brian briefly the Av's at twicken fourteen
Sunday morning, our time for those willing to watch or listen.
Of course, Scott Robertson's men are two from two on tour,
but England haven't long at home all year. Elliott Smith's
(13:02):
Newstalk's MB's voice of Rugby with us this morning, Elliott
get a get they right? So bookies are favoring the
Abs right.
Speaker 9 (13:10):
Mostly, although I've seen a few up here in England
where they have gone the way of the home team.
So you look at that cut somewhere in the middle
and you probably say it's a toss up game between
these two sides. As you mentioned, England's on a bit
of a tear so far this year, nine games unbeaten,
went through the Six Nations after an opening loss, been
through midyear and then on the end of year. At international.
(13:33):
So far I've posted a couple of wins, including over
the Wallabies, whereas the All Blacks obviously dropped a couple
of games midyear. But Bean Island beat Scotland, so the
bookies sort of saying it's maybe a fraction either way.
But in the middle you'd probably say it's a fifty
to fifty toss up game.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Which makes for a great rugby, doesn't it. Now what
about the back where Scott Robinson has had a bit
of a shuffle out back in Billy Proctor's starting at center.
Speaker 9 (13:56):
Yeah, calla Clark out with injuries. Suffer that head knock
last week Murray Field, so he's out and it was
a couple of options that he could have done. He's
moved Leicester fying a nook who out of center into
the left wing, where he's played a little bit of
rugby for the All Blacks already this year and primarily
most of his test careers. The Billy Propter has come
back in out of the cold to start for the
first time and a few test matches. He's at thirteen.
(14:18):
Simon Parker back into the run on side as well.
In the good news as well, Ryan as that they've
got Scott Barrett back as well after a laceration to
his knee suffered that against Ireland nasty we gash right
across the top of his knee and he's been training
this week. Had a look at him today on the
training Paddic looks ready to go. He's been named to
return to this All Black side as well for Sunday
(14:39):
Morning New Zealand Time.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Elliot look forward to you calling on Sunday Morning. Elliott

twenty four after five News Talks ZBB The early.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Edition Full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by NEWSTALKSB.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Five twenty seven News Talk ZBB. This prison escape story
I Reckon sounds she is hell in the week of
cover ups and ass covering. If it walks and talks
and quacks like something, then it probably is. Remember it walks.
Speaker 7 (15:08):
Like a duck, and it quacks like a duck. It's
not looking good, is it.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
No? I don't think this one's looking good. On Friday
last week, nine am, and inmate escapes mounted in prison.
The public isn't told, no media release, no warning, radio silence. Tuesday,
a media report finally pops up, and it looks like
a journalist has actually got wind of the story. Corrections
then confirm a prisoner has escaped, but they don't tell
(15:33):
us who, how anything. Was the guy a murderer? Is
he a risk to the public? Why can't we know
who he is? I think they're legitimate questions. Four days
on the run and by that stage still haven't found him,
and there's some bes about safety being their top priority,
blah blah blah, but nothing about hey, look out, there's
someone on the loose. Then yesterday a release goes out.
(15:56):
They finally name this guy and put out a photo.
Six days after he escapes, they haven't been able to
catch him, and they still don't say if he's a
risk to the public. His name is Paul Karl p
quet Riehu. Quick Google search last night find out pretty
quickly why they didn't want us to know why they
(16:17):
didn't release it for six days. This guy has escaped
prison before in twenty ten, but embarrassing for them, isn't it?
And I've been asking Corrections for an interview since this
story broke and computer says, no, why because there's an
internal review going on. So what you don't get to
(16:38):
hide and cover up your mistakes and wait till the
dust settles your front up and you own them. When
this guy escaped last time, Corrections immediately put out a release.
They warned the public not to approach him. They said
he was dangerous, and they said he had an extensive
criminal history. This time round, no warnings whatsoever. Is he
friendly now you know? Or are they again but covering?
(17:01):
God sakes? Take a leaf out of police's book and
front up. The longer you leave this the dodger you look.
Bryan Bridge twenty nine after five News Talk said b
we'll get to the UK with Vincent mcavniy after news
and then before six we'll talk about the Reglitory Standards
bill that no one's talking about. Kim Kardashian as well
(17:22):
got news on her. It's business news her company skims.
If you've ever seen her wearing anything skimpy. She owns
the company. It's now valued at five billion, Yes New Zealand,
nine billion dollars not bad. Twenty nine after five.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
The News you Need this Morning and the in depth
analysis Earl edition with Ryan Bridge and r V Supercenter
explore RV's accessories and servicing.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Fall in one news talk said b.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
It's pretty far away from six on your Friday morning.
We'll get to the Regulary Standards Bill before six past
at third reading, and we'll Vincent mcavenie's in the UK
for us in the US. This whole thing with the
Epstein it just looks like a massive Democrat attempt to
beat up Trump. Really, I don't think there's anything much
to it. It's a dead pedophiles word against a sitting president.
(18:22):
And this is an interesting take because yesterday we read
you the emails from Epstein to Gmax about Trump, which
said Trump's met this woman and the Democrats blanked out
her name, redacted her name the victim. And the reason
they did that, according to this commentator, is quite simple,
(18:43):
because it was Virginia. Do frey have a listen that this.
Speaker 10 (18:48):
Is even a story today is something of a scandal,
meaning Democrats they went out of their way to obstruct
the name of the individual in question to make it
seem like Donald Trump might have some secret here that.
Speaker 11 (18:59):
Needs to be exposed.
Speaker 10 (19:00):
And the reason why they obstructed the name is because
Virginia Juffrey, the victim of Epstein, has had publicly and
repeatedly said that Donald Trump had never witnessed or participated
in any bad activity. So this is just hard to
take people seriously that they actually care about this.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Interesting, isn't it. We'll talk to Andrews involved again. Of course,
we'll talk to Vincent about that just before quarter two.
This morning, it's twenty three to six. Ryan Bridge, Clum
Procter and Ngereeda. This morning, Colum, Good morning morning. Right
at Queenstown. You got running happening this weekend.
Speaker 12 (19:30):
Big weekend. It's the marathon weekend for Queenstown, biggest week
well one of, if not the biggest weekend of the
year for the resort, and the airport's welcoming fifty thousand
passengers over six days, so a huge influx. It's a
fifteen percent increase on last year. Today's the peak day
for arrival, Sunday, the busiest departure day and to support
(19:51):
the surgeon.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Demand.
Speaker 12 (19:52):
Airlines have added forty six extra flights in and out
of Queenstown until Monday. Record thirteen thousand ryin have entered
the marathons, various events coming from eighty eight different countries.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Very cool.
Speaker 12 (20:03):
How's the weather well for tomorrow's marathon? Clearing to find
fifteen today and and eden rain this afternoon, possibly heavy
twenty three the high.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Thanks Callum and Jordan Dune for christ Church. Jordan, good morning,
Good morning ride. We've got the AMP Show in Canterbury.
Speaker 11 (20:17):
Yeah, so AxMan is showing up to show off their
skills at the AMP Show in Canterbury. So's up to
sixty three men and women taking part in wood chopping
across the next few days. It's the largest event of
its kind in New Zealand. So christ Church XMN Club
president Jack Patterson says it's always a popular watch. He
says it's a thrill seeing someone competing with a razor
(20:38):
sharp axe.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Yeah it is. Are they going to lose the foot?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
You know?
Speaker 2 (20:41):
That's an exciting part of it. How's the weather.
Speaker 11 (20:43):
Yeah fine, but areas of morning cloud being cloud increasing
in the evening with some late evening rain. The high
today twenty three.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
All right, thank you, hopefully it's better better than yesterday,
Max's and willing to Max. Good morning. Andrew Little is
dumping Tory's business group.
Speaker 13 (20:59):
Yeah, the new mayor instantly dismissing this. It was set
up by a Tory final because very clearly our central
city has some real issues.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
The idea was to get.
Speaker 13 (21:08):
A group of business leaders together in a room once
a month figure out how to save the central city.
Not the worst idea on paper. The problem was, of
course execution a few of the mayor's mates, who may
very well run a successful social media account and a
small boutique shop on Cuba Street. But after a few months,
perhaps the two members with the greatest merit quit because
(21:29):
they said they weren't being listened to and that all
these meetings were were just people sitting around a table socializing,
having a cup of tea and a cheese board. Andrew
Little then coming in giving it the flick. He says,
business leaders in the capital still are not being listened to,
and the panel's goals were not clear. But of course
you've still got to do something here. Andrew Little says
(21:49):
he will do something. The Chamber of Commerce wants a
business advisory council set up through it. That's what they're suggesting.
Little says something will be done, but whatever it is
has to be constructive and it has to involve everyone.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
See, I find the idea of these boards. These advisory
groups are weird. I mean you've got Business New Zealand,
you've got the Chamber of Commerce. Is that not exactly
what they are? You know, just talk to them.
Speaker 13 (22:14):
Well a lot of the time, Yeah, a lot of
the time it's doing something to be seen to be
doing something.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Right exactly, Max, how's your weather?
Speaker 13 (22:21):
Claring to find early stronger northerlyies eighteen the hay.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Neva's and auklan Neva. Good morning, Good morning. What are these?
I walked through this park. This is a great lead
and you've got violent attacks from groups of young people.
Speaker 14 (22:32):
Yes, now the Herald did this story. So what's happened
is that it's Grayland Park. A local woman. Now she
went into panic mode. Now she was punched in the
stomach by a teenager. This happened last week. There she
was relaxing in Grayland Park. She had her eyes closed,
she was lying down there, noise canceling headphones on. When
this attack happened minding her own business, enjoying life now,
(22:56):
the woman in her thirties. She told the hero that
since that incident had last week, other part goers they've
come forward with similar stories and apparently, you know, groups
of young teenagers on you know, scooters and that have
just been doing all of this, terrorizing people in the park.
For goodness sake.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
What the hell. I know, it's weird because there was
a story for a neighbor of mine had a young person,
like an eight year old kid in their backyard ripping
out all their plants the other day. This is a
story ripping out all their plants, and they came outside
and they're like, what the hell is going on? And
so chase the kid. He jumps over the fence starts
(23:34):
ripping out their plants from the neighbor's house as well,
and then anyway, police cargoes parts and she pulls them over.
She says, hey, are you're not by any chance looking
for a child, are you? And they said, yes, there's
a very sad case actually, but an autistic child has
gone missing in the area and here he was in
their backyard ripping out all.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
The plants, ripping out all the plants.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Chance they caught that, they got this kid and returned
to his parents, who are obviously, you know, besides themselves,
beside themselves worried about where he was. And that's just
down the road from.
Speaker 14 (24:05):
At least it's a happy ending, really, But I mean,
if you were there and you're thinking, what's going on
here when you find a child wrapping out?
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Probably but happening in this world? What weather?
Speaker 14 (24:17):
Okay, well, it's not a good day to be rubbing blood.
We've got showers, possibly heavy thundery with hail.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
You told me good news, No, you told me how
yesterday you were lying. I was waiting for it. I
even said to everybody outside and say, hey, this hail today,
it's going to be fun day on the weather front.
Speaker 14 (24:35):
That never a ready manas she's such a liar lion
pants on fire. Okay, well, the high of twenty let's
see if that happens.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yeah, I don't believe it. Happy Friday, seventeen to six
News Talk sep b us Talks b is qught it
to six. The Regulatory Standards Bill, David Simo's Regultory Standards Bill.
We'll get to that in just a second, because on
the one side, you've got the sky caving in from
the opposition, but on the other you've got a guy
saying this is actually just a bunch of basically principles.
(25:04):
They're not legally enforceable. You just have to consider them
when you're making laws, and they seem quite reasonable. So
we'll talk about that in just a second. Also, some
happy news to start your Friday morning. Fossil fuel emissions
have apparently had a record high two point six percent
increase in temperatures will be happening by the end of
the century. That's on pre industrial levels, and nothing that's
(25:25):
happening at this COP thirty conference is going to fix that.
But actually I had a number for you because it's interesting.
This is the individual nations their contribution, and the government
can take a bow and take its hat off, because
guess what global carbon budget projects thirty eight one billion
(25:47):
tons of fossil carbon dioxide emissions this year. That is
a record high. The US is up, China is up,
Japan is down, but also so is New Zealand. New
Zealand emissions down two point nine percent from twenty twenty four.
So is someone and going is Chloe going to stand
up and clip for Simon.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Watts International correspondence with ins an Eye Insurance, Peace of
Mind for New Zealand business.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
So I think the sixth now Vincent Mecavini a UK
europe correspondents, and the Epstein thing in some more revelations
about Andrew.
Speaker 15 (26:25):
Yeah, that's right. Thousands of emails were released in the
US yesterday by Congress in their sort of slow release
of all these Epstein files, and it found more emails
relating to the man previously known as Prince Andrew now
known as Andrew mount Bassan Windsor, and a really telling
email from twenty eleven in which Epstein writes that yes,
(26:49):
Geoffrey was on my plane and yes she had her
picture taken with Andrew. Now, this account contradicts the Prince's
assertion that he never met miss Giffray, despite having paid
that rather large settlement to her a few years ago,
and his long standing suggestion, as he said in that
BBC Newsnight interview, that the image was a fake one.
Epstein is clearly saying that's not the case. The pair
(27:11):
met and that image is real. So more damaging allegations
towards him as he prepares to be removed from his
big royal lodge home and sent to Sandringham to spend
the rest of his days.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
What do we call him now, Justine, That's exactly what
we call him.
Speaker 15 (27:27):
It's just Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, no titles, nothing, all right.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Hey, Vincent, thank you? Vincent? Mecha anyhow? UK europe correspondent time.
It's twelve minutes away from six. Ryan Labour says it
all repeal the Rigulatory Standards Bill and its first one
hundred days of elicted next year. That is still a
big if at this point. The bill passed its third
reading in the House last night, officially becomes Lord Duncan Wibbs,
Labour's regulation spokesperson. Good morning, good morning, good to be here,
(27:53):
Good to have you on the show. And what is
so because these are a bunch of principles, they're not
legally enforcible. What are you and nickers and such a
twist for.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
Well, the point is that this is the rules about
how you make law, and so that affects all the
law we make. And it's tilting the playing field. It's
saying that every time you make a law, you've got
to look at this list of principles and you've got
to apply it. And someone sitting over in the corner,
this regultary standards board as a referee, and it's telling
(28:22):
you off if you don't follow those particular rules. And
the rules are not balanced. They are.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
But but the thing is, you guys had the well
being budgets and you had the you know, you've got
to tick this box and tip back box. What's it?
I mean, this is just a bit of it in
the other direction, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (28:41):
Well, no, it's quite different because the well Being budget
was a set of principles around how you spend public funds.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
And this is a set of principles about how you
make laws.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
Yeah, making law is absolutely fundamental to how the society works.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
But they're not imp you can ignore them.
Speaker 6 (28:59):
But if you've got to set of principles that say
you've got to make law that preserves private property but
doesn't mention things like public health, the environment or human rights,
you're going to get private property promoted and help environment
nor them.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Duncan.
Speaker 6 (29:13):
Well, no, that's not how it works. This is about
how you make quality law. This is how public servants
will develop policy. This is how people like it will
be harder to make well. Not impossible, but harder. Just
like the Bill of Rights Act, which prevents, for example,
the right from a legal search and seizure. The government
can ignore it, but it does so add its peril.
It's a political cost, even it's not a legal cost.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
The submissions on this, I mean, there were heaps of posed,
but the submissions are different from public opinion. Is this
You guys are saying this is going to be done
in a first one hundred days. Big deal. I've never
heard anyone talking about it at a barbecue.
Speaker 6 (29:50):
Ah, gee, you should come to my barbecue. Just we's
all we talk about.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Thank you. Look a lot of people are worried about it, though,
and there are people who are.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
You think, Oh, look a lot of the law society,
for example, was really the law of human rights. You
go to the Abattue, the Human Rights Commission, the Children's Commissioner,
all these people who aren't necessarily labor party your.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Life, duncan. Are you leaving the party because you didn't
get a wealth text?
Speaker 6 (30:19):
No, No, look, I'm leaving the party because I want
to do some more exciting things. But you know, talking
about well it's going to be good, it's good. I
think it's a really good idea. I think so you didn't.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Want more, You didn't want more, Duncan.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
Well, look, I think I'm happy was where we've landed.
I think it's achievable. It won't affect most New Zealanders,
but it will pay for some really great health services.
I think it's a great step forward.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Duncan Web from Labor appreciate your time. It is nine
Away from Sex News Talks The b.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
The first word on the News of the Day Early
edition with Ryan Bridge and r V super Center explore
r v's accessories and servicing.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
More than one news talks be.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Given to six. Have you ever gone to buy house
or buy an apartment or something and the agent tells
you that the price, Oh no, it's going to be
really cheap. Get in there, going to auction, Get in there,
the price will be really cheap. You can afford it.
And then you go and get your inspection done, you
get a builder through, you spend all this money and
then the price is double what they said it would be.
(31:18):
In Australia there is a law against this, and in
New South Wales the government is going to increase the penalty.
So if a real estate agent under Cox or under
quotes the value of the property to you, and you're
a buyer, they can face a penalty of it was
twenty two thousand Australian dollars. That is going to a
maximum one hundred and ten thousand dollars for breeches, and
(31:39):
I think that's a good idea. I encountered this problem
when I went to buy my first property, a unit
that I wanted to live in, and my budget was
about four hundred and fifty thousand dollars and the agent
said and on trade me the range was way down
below that. And they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, come on,
So you spend all the money, you get every thing done,
(32:00):
get in there. Starting of the auction, the starting bid
was five hundred and twenty. I didn't have a show
and it went for something like six fifty crying bridge, trageous,
five to six mikes.
Speaker 16 (32:13):
Here morning mate, You've done your due diligence and how
to look around the marketplace. You could have gone into
that transaction knowing pretty much what the thing was worth.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
The problem with that is you then have to get
valuations done. You can do your own cursory glance, which
I did and looked at at recent sales. But I
was a bit off.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
I was.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
It was my first time doing that kind of thing.
And the problem is that if you rely on where
on the trade, me or the agents.
Speaker 16 (32:43):
Of course I agree with you, but you sold it
and your made some money and you're now the wealthy
end of it.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
No way, didn't buy it. I didn't buy it.
Speaker 16 (32:49):
Because you couldn't afford it.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Couldn't afford it.
Speaker 16 (32:51):
Have you got a home now, I've got a home now.
That's okay, So it's worked out well in the end.
You're not like one of those people at Queen Street
or something like that.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
No no, no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 16 (32:59):
You are in your own ship. You've got an iron shirt.
Normally you're a miss, but this morning that's well, you're
a shambles. But that's a good looking shirt and it
looks like it's been well ironed, and you've made them.
And of course I can spot it, can I tell them?
By the way, most of your shirts that like they
haven't seen an ie and fifty.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Years me, they're always iron the night before most of
them polyester.
Speaker 16 (33:18):
Everyone out is poly.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
You know what I do want? The problem, as I
was talking to Figure about this yesterday? Is I need
new shirts?
Speaker 16 (33:26):
The Herald buying them for you?
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Well, yes, and I keep them here and wear them.
Speaker 16 (33:30):
He would you want to buy? Would you wear a
shirt the Herald would buy it for you? I mean, honestly,
what's the price?
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Sponsored? Sponsor? Sponsorship? Do you wear like a badge brought
to your Ryan shirt? Brought to you? Buy?
Speaker 7 (33:43):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (33:44):
For goodness sake, because what happens Micause people look at
me and they say, I want to be like that guy?
Do they they do?
Speaker 16 (33:51):
Three?
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Well, just go out in the newsroom, start counting, right.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Welcome to Friday six after five. We'll look at the
Regulatory Standards Bill that's now passed into law. We're in
the UK with Vincent mcavney, Elliot Smith with the AB's
camp and a musical guest for your Friday morning. Also,
those tourism numbers will take a look at those. And
there's a big shopping bag in space that's collecting rubbish.
I know it sounds weird. I'll tell you about it shortly.
(00:35):
The agenda Friday, their fourteenth of November. The US shutdown
is over.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
And out to sign this incredible bill and get our
country work in again.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
That is until January, and then they're back to square one.
More Epstein emails out overnight. Everybody seems to be believing
this dead pedophile over a sitting president.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
Where they have the Attorney General and the director of
the FBI doing something as grossly and appropriate as trying
to larby members of Congress to get their names off
of this discharge petition. It's just if the report's all right,
why is the White House freaking out so much?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
This is not the behavior of someone who doesn't have
something to hide. We'll have more on that later on
the program and other emails, Epstein appears to confirm that
Andrew not prints it, just Andrew from the pub was
photographed with Virginia jew Fray. Of course, Andrew still denies
ever meeting her.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
Epstein rate, yes she was on my plane, and yes
she had her picture taken with Andrew, as many of
my employees have.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Finally this morning, don't go to a fortune teller because
it's a waste of money. And if you want proof
of that. Australia, there's a mother daughter duo there who
are and they're apparently not just fortune tellers but masters
of fun Shwe been charged with scamming nearly seventy million
dollars from von Vietnamese victims. Polease say the mother convinced
(02:03):
people to take out loans by promising a billionaire was
going to come into their future.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
The fifty three year old has claimed to be a
fung Shui master and fortune.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Teller who convinced these vulnerable people.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
To become a mule in the criminal syndicate where they
would receive it amount of money, and each time she
convinced these people to do these lines, she would pocket
at least one hundred and fifty thousand dollars herself.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan

Speaker 2 (02:41):
That'd be great to have your company on a Friday morning.
Just go on eight minutes after five nine two ninety
two is the numbered text. Now the Regulatory Standards Bill.
This is the big the loudest noise for the weakest
law I think I've ever seen. Why is everybody, Well, no,
that's not even the right question. Everyone and up and
arms about this. It's just a couple of opposition MPs,
(03:04):
and it's some submitters to a select committee who never
really represent properly the public opinion, do they? I think
it was ninety nine percent of submitters were opposed to
this Regulatory Standards Bill. Here's the thing that this is
the reason you shouldn't even care about this bill, and
to be fair, a reason that it's not a serious
bill to begin with. So it's a criticism both of
(03:25):
Seymour but also of the people winging about it. There's
no legal enforcement, there's no legal obligation. This is just
a couple of principles written into law that you must consider.
You don't have to do anything or not do anything
based on this piece of legislation. So why is everyone
so upset about it? Because it's David Seymour's That's why
(03:47):
everyone hates David Seymour. Well, everyone on the left hates
David Seymour and they're like, oh, what's he doing? Okay,
let's rage against that. That's pretty much what's happening. We're
going to talk to Duncan web about this just before
six o'clock this morning. But do not be afraid of
a couple of principles written on a piece of paper
that are not even legally enforceable. Bryan b That's why
(04:09):
most people. Have you been to a barbecue lately and
someone said, oh, I must talk to you about the
regulatory standard? No, no one does that because no one
even knows about it, because it's not important. People are
smart and they know what they need to take their
you know, pay attention to. Anyway we'll talk to them
about they're planning to repel it and all this sort
of stuff. We'll talk to them before six o'clock this morning.
(04:30):
Now over in the UK, we'll talk to Vincent mcavinie
as well. He's on about quarter two over in the UK.
They've got a problem, like many countries around the world do.
They've got a problem, and it's trying to balance your budget, right,
trying to pay down your deficit, trying to get the
books in order. And Rachel Reeves is about to announce
because member yesterday we mentioned they've got their budget in
(04:50):
a couple of weeks time. While she is going to
announce tax increases they reckon of about thirty billion pounds
so seventy billion at New Zealand dollars one percent of GDP,
and taken together with their last round of tax increases,
that would take Britain's taxes the biggest increase in them
(05:10):
since the mid nineteen seventies and would take the tax
take to thirty seven to thirty eight percent of GDP,
highest level ever. Because well, you know the age old problem,
an aging population are lower tax take, a big deficit.
What do you do you either borrow, can't do that,
don't want to freak the markets out, so we tax
(05:31):
a cut spending. No, they don't want to do that
because it's a labor government. So increase in taxes. So
you've got Carnie in Canada, You've got res and Starmer
in the UK. Will you have Hipkins in New Zealand
come next year? Five eleven on news Talk said, b
are we musical interlude for you?

Speaker 4 (05:59):
Answer a sing fall in one News Talk ZB.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Five point fourteen on News Talk ZB, have you ever
heard of a pub choir? It's this new thing taking
the internet by storm. Astra Jorgensen, who was actually born
in New Zealand, thirty four year old former schoolteacher goes
on America's Got Talent, massive audience and puts this video online.
It gets huge views and clicks. People are absolutely loving it.
(06:23):
She gets hundreds of audience members to sing together. They
don't know what's going on until they arrive and this happens.
(06:51):
It's pretty cool. That's a choir that didn't know it
was going to be a choir before they arrived there.
Astra Jorgensen is the Australian vocalist and conductor and joins
me this morning, Good morning.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
Good morning, so nice to chat with you. O, nice.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
To have you here. That clip is going viral. It's
all over the world. What was it like doing it?
Speaker 8 (07:09):
I mean, it's sort of crazy because it happened a
long time ago for me. I did it all the
way back in March in America, and then I had
to hold onto the secret for like six months, and
I couldn't tell a single person, and so I had
this strange experience that I went through, and then suddenly
it popped up on TV and then it exploded online.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
Over one hundred million people.
Speaker 8 (07:33):
Have watched me at work, I guess, which is wild.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
I sort of can't really fathom it.
Speaker 8 (07:40):
If I'm being honest, I don't really think about it
that much because it's just too big to know. You
know that a hundred million people or something crazy like
that have seen me do my thing.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
There stood Africa's obviously an iconic song people know, are
there's some songs that work, some that don't. Have you
had any flops?
Speaker 8 (07:57):
Oh, I mean I've done probably I do a different
song at every show or every tour, So I mean,
I would have done about four hundred shows. So I've
tried a lot of songs. I mean, obviously some some
are better than others. But it's more that I arrange
the song for each audience. And so it's not just
(08:18):
that the song is important for the show, but it's
more that the way that I decide to split up
the notes and write some new harmonies and depending on
how the audience.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
Feels like every show is entirely unique.
Speaker 8 (08:32):
So for sure some shows are better than others, but
it depends on so many things, how people feel, how
I've done the arrangement, you know. But what's exciting for
me is it's unfolding in front of us all. Like
the point of the show for me is that we
can make art together in real time. And so even
if it even if it's not everyone's favorite song, or
(08:54):
if I give some weird instructions sometimes because I'm figuring
out on stage, it's exciting to me that it's always unique.
I really want people to feel excited about that too,
that we can make something that exists just for us
tonight and it will feel new and good and we
with the creators.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Music's an energy thing, isn't it. It's transferring energy from
one to another. And to have so many people involved
in doing it. I mean you look at the people's
faces and they almost get it. They get a mess
of buzz out of the fact that it is them
doing it.
Speaker 8 (09:25):
Yeah, I mean it looks like a great show. I'd
love to attend myself.
Speaker 7 (09:28):
But I'm always doing it.
Speaker 8 (09:29):
But I mean, like you are for sure right that
it is something really deeply human, Like you can't be
in a choir by yourself.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
You have to sing with other people.
Speaker 8 (09:39):
You have to work together, and I think it's this
really joyful equalizing experience. Like we've all sung in groups before,
it really hits different, you know, when there's a thousand
voices carrying something together. It's this strange mix between I
am contributing and also I am not that important. And
(10:00):
I think it's like a really nice line to walk
as a person who sings in the choir, to realize
that you are making the choir sound different because your
voice is unique and you are contributing, but just as
much as everybody else.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
And so that's in safety in numbers, safety and numbers too.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Well.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I've always been curious America's Got Talent? Did you apply
to go on that show? Or how does it work?
Do they go and ask people to appear?
Speaker 8 (10:27):
Well, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to even say,
but I'll tell you what they did ask me to
apply because I'd.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
Never even seen the show.
Speaker 8 (10:34):
I don't know how to watch America's Got Talent because
I live in Australia. I was born in New Zealand,
but I live in Australia. I don't even think we
show their show. But they did get in touch online.
I think they'd seen some videos because pub Qua has
been going for eight and a half years. I've been
doing every single show the whole time, and I think
they must have seen some of my clips online and thought,
(10:56):
oh that looks fun.
Speaker 7 (10:58):
Yeah, And I mean I'll say, yeah, standingthing once.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Yeah, lovely to talk to you. Thanks so much for
being on the show.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
I've had the loveliest time singing across New Zealand, so thanks.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
For having me.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Ah, yes, are we any good at singing?
Speaker 7 (11:12):
You're so good at singing. There's an incredible singing culture
across New Zealand.
Speaker 8 (11:16):
I mean, you know, I do live in Australia and
they're okay, but New Zealand is really I don't know,
seem to tap into something together and to share that
moment really nicely and you laugh a lot, and I
just have the best time with New Zealand audiences.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Nice flattery. Estrad Jorgensen, who's with us Australian vocalist and conductor.
Very cool. Indeed. Five nineteen Billie Talk has been reunited
with the number thirteen Jersey for the AB's. Robinson's announced

Ryan Bridge on early edition with r V Supercenter, explore
r v's accessories and servicing, all in one news talks.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
It'd be twenty two news talks here, but you're going
to hand it to Louise Upstonce. She is getting the
tourism numbers back up Australia. This is for the year.
Arrivals from Australia up one hundred and fifty three thousand
to one point four eight million, the US up twenty
one thousand, the UK up twenty thousand, Japan up ten thousand,
China holding steady. Unfortunately, the problem with all of this
(12:19):
is that the Aussies are coming here. The Aussies are
bringing us back, and they don't spend as much and
they don't stay as long. So this the you know,
the value is not as good as the top line
number would suggest. Monthly arrivals, we are going to hit
ninety five percent of pre COVID. That's full September. However,
for the year we're still at about eighty seven percent
(12:40):
of pre COVID. We're just not quite getting out of
that funk just yet, and certainly that is part A
big part of that problem is the Chinese twenty three
minutes after five Brian briefly the Av's at twicken fourteen
Sunday morning, our time for those willing to watch or listen.
Of course, Scott Robertson's men are two from two on tour,
but England haven't long at home all year. Elliott Smith's
(13:02):
Newstalk's MB's voice of Rugby with us this morning, Elliott
get a get they right? So bookies are favoring the
Abs right.
Speaker 9 (13:10):
Mostly, although I've seen a few up here in England
where they have gone the way of the home team.
So you look at that cut somewhere in the middle
and you probably say it's a toss up game between
these two sides. As you mentioned, England's on a bit
of a tear so far this year, nine games unbeaten,
went through the Six Nations after an opening loss, been
through midyear and then on the end of year. At international.
(13:33):
So far I've posted a couple of wins, including over
the Wallabies, whereas the All Blacks obviously dropped a couple
of games midyear. But Bean Island beat Scotland, so the
bookies sort of saying it's maybe a fraction either way.
But in the middle you'd probably say it's a fifty
to fifty toss up game.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Which makes for a great rugby, doesn't it. Now what
about the back where Scott Robinson has had a bit
of a shuffle out back in Billy Proctor's starting at center.
Speaker 9 (13:56):
Yeah, calla Clark out with injuries. Suffer that head knock
last week Murray Field, so he's out and it was
a couple of options that he could have done. He's
moved Leicester fying a nook who out of center into
the left wing, where he's played a little bit of
rugby for the All Blacks already this year and primarily
most of his test careers. The Billy Propter has come
back in out of the cold to start for the
first time and a few test matches. He's at thirteen.
(14:18):
Simon Parker back into the run on side as well.
In the good news as well, Ryan as that they've
got Scott Barrett back as well after a laceration to
his knee suffered that against Ireland nasty we gash right
across the top of his knee and he's been training
this week. Had a look at him today on the
training Paddic looks ready to go. He's been named to
return to this All Black side as well for Sunday
(14:39):
Morning New Zealand Time.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
Five twenty seven News Talk ZBB. This prison escape story
I Reckon sounds she is hell in the week of
cover ups and ass covering. If it walks and talks
and quacks like something, then it probably is. Remember it walks.
Speaker 7 (15:08):
Like a duck, and it quacks like a duck. It's
not looking good, is it.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
No? I don't think this one's looking good. On Friday
last week, nine am, and inmate escapes mounted in prison.
The public isn't told, no media release, no warning, radio silence. Tuesday,
a media report finally pops up, and it looks like
a journalist has actually got wind of the story. Corrections
then confirm a prisoner has escaped, but they don't tell
(15:33):
us who, how anything. Was the guy a murderer? Is
he a risk to the public? Why can't we know
who he is? I think they're legitimate questions. Four days
on the run and by that stage still haven't found him,
and there's some bes about safety being their top priority,
blah blah blah, but nothing about hey, look out, there's
someone on the loose. Then yesterday a release goes out.
(15:56):
They finally name this guy and put out a photo.
Six days after he escapes, they haven't been able to
catch him, and they still don't say if he's a
risk to the public. His name is Paul Karl p
quet Riehu. Quick Google search last night find out pretty
quickly why they didn't want us to know why they
(16:17):
didn't release it for six days. This guy has escaped
prison before in twenty ten, but embarrassing for them, isn't it?
And I've been asking Corrections for an interview since this
story broke and computer says, no, why because there's an
internal review going on. So what you don't get to
(16:38):
hide and cover up your mistakes and wait till the
dust settles your front up and you own them. When
this guy escaped last time, Corrections immediately put out a release.
They warned the public not to approach him. They said
he was dangerous, and they said he had an extensive
criminal history. This time round, no warnings whatsoever. Is he
friendly now you know? Or are they again but covering?
(17:01):
God sakes? Take a leaf out of police's book and
front up. The longer you leave this the dodger you look.
Bryan Bridge twenty nine after five News Talk said b
we'll get to the UK with Vincent mcavniy after news
and then before six we'll talk about the Reglitory Standards
bill that no one's talking about. Kim Kardashian as well
(17:22):
got news on her. It's business news her company skims.
If you've ever seen her wearing anything skimpy. She owns
the company. It's now valued at five billion, Yes New Zealand,
nine billion dollars not bad. Twenty nine after five.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
The News you Need this Morning and the in depth
analysis Earl edition with Ryan Bridge and r V Supercenter
explore RV's accessories and servicing.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Fall in one news talk said b.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
It's pretty far away from six on your Friday morning.
We'll get to the Regulary Standards Bill before six past
at third reading, and we'll Vincent mcavenie's in the UK
for us in the US. This whole thing with the
Epstein it just looks like a massive Democrat attempt to
beat up Trump. Really, I don't think there's anything much
to it. It's a dead pedophiles word against a sitting president.
(18:22):
And this is an interesting take because yesterday we read
you the emails from Epstein to Gmax about Trump, which
said Trump's met this woman and the Democrats blanked out
her name, redacted her name the victim. And the reason
they did that, according to this commentator, is quite simple,
(18:43):
because it was Virginia. Do frey have a listen that this.
Speaker 10 (18:48):
Is even a story today is something of a scandal,
meaning Democrats they went out of their way to obstruct
the name of the individual in question to make it
seem like Donald Trump might have some secret here that.
Speaker 11 (18:59):
Needs to be exposed.
Speaker 10 (19:00):
And the reason why they obstructed the name is because
Virginia Juffrey, the victim of Epstein, has had publicly and
repeatedly said that Donald Trump had never witnessed or participated
in any bad activity. So this is just hard to
take people seriously that they actually care about this.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Interesting, isn't it. We'll talk to Andrews involved again. Of course,
we'll talk to Vincent about that just before quarter two.
This morning, it's twenty three to six. Ryan Bridge, Clum
Procter and Ngereeda. This morning, Colum, Good morning morning. Right
at Queenstown. You got running happening this weekend.
Speaker 12 (19:30):
Big weekend. It's the marathon weekend for Queenstown, biggest week
well one of, if not the biggest weekend of the
year for the resort, and the airport's welcoming fifty thousand
passengers over six days, so a huge influx. It's a
fifteen percent increase on last year. Today's the peak day
for arrival, Sunday, the busiest departure day and to support
(19:51):
the surgeon.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Demand.
Speaker 12 (19:52):
Airlines have added forty six extra flights in and out
of Queenstown until Monday. Record thirteen thousand ryin have entered
the marathons, various events coming from eighty eight different countries.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Very cool.
Speaker 12 (20:03):
How's the weather well for tomorrow's marathon? Clearing to find
fifteen today and and eden rain this afternoon, possibly heavy
twenty three the high.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Thanks Callum and Jordan Dune for christ Church. Jordan, good morning,
Good morning ride. We've got the AMP Show in Canterbury.
Speaker 11 (20:17):
Yeah, so AxMan is showing up to show off their
skills at the AMP Show in Canterbury. So's up to
sixty three men and women taking part in wood chopping
across the next few days. It's the largest event of
its kind in New Zealand. So christ Church XMN Club
president Jack Patterson says it's always a popular watch. He
says it's a thrill seeing someone competing with a razor
(20:38):
sharp axe.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Yeah it is. Are they going to lose the foot?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
You know?
Speaker 2 (20:41):
That's an exciting part of it. How's the weather.
Speaker 11 (20:43):
Yeah fine, but areas of morning cloud being cloud increasing
in the evening with some late evening rain. The high
today twenty three.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
All right, thank you, hopefully it's better better than yesterday,
Max's and willing to Max. Good morning. Andrew Little is
dumping Tory's business group.
Speaker 13 (20:59):
Yeah, the new mayor instantly dismissing this. It was set
up by a Tory final because very clearly our central
city has some real issues.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
The idea was to get.
Speaker 13 (21:08):
A group of business leaders together in a room once
a month figure out how to save the central city.
Not the worst idea on paper. The problem was, of
course execution a few of the mayor's mates, who may
very well run a successful social media account and a
small boutique shop on Cuba Street. But after a few months,
perhaps the two members with the greatest merit quit because
(21:29):
they said they weren't being listened to and that all
these meetings were were just people sitting around a table socializing,
having a cup of tea and a cheese board. Andrew
Little then coming in giving it the flick. He says,
business leaders in the capital still are not being listened to,
and the panel's goals were not clear. But of course
you've still got to do something here. Andrew Little says
(21:49):
he will do something. The Chamber of Commerce wants a
business advisory council set up through it. That's what they're suggesting.
Little says something will be done, but whatever it is
has to be constructive and it has to involve everyone.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
See, I find the idea of these boards. These advisory
groups are weird. I mean you've got Business New Zealand,
you've got the Chamber of Commerce. Is that not exactly
what they are? You know, just talk to them.
Speaker 13 (22:14):
Well a lot of the time, Yeah, a lot of
the time it's doing something to be seen to be
doing something.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Right exactly, Max, how's your weather?
Speaker 13 (22:21):
Claring to find early stronger northerlyies eighteen the hay.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Neva's and auklan Neva. Good morning, Good morning. What are these?
I walked through this park. This is a great lead
and you've got violent attacks from groups of young people.
Speaker 14 (22:32):
Yes, now the Herald did this story. So what's happened
is that it's Grayland Park. A local woman. Now she
went into panic mode. Now she was punched in the
stomach by a teenager. This happened last week. There she
was relaxing in Grayland Park. She had her eyes closed,
she was lying down there, noise canceling headphones on. When
this attack happened minding her own business, enjoying life now,
(22:56):
the woman in her thirties. She told the hero that
since that incident had last week, other part goers they've
come forward with similar stories and apparently, you know, groups
of young teenagers on you know, scooters and that have
just been doing all of this, terrorizing people in the park.
For goodness sake.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
What the hell. I know, it's weird because there was
a story for a neighbor of mine had a young person,
like an eight year old kid in their backyard ripping
out all their plants the other day. This is a
story ripping out all their plants, and they came outside
and they're like, what the hell is going on? And
so chase the kid. He jumps over the fence starts
(23:34):
ripping out their plants from the neighbor's house as well,
and then anyway, police cargoes parts and she pulls them over.
She says, hey, are you're not by any chance looking
for a child, are you? And they said, yes, there's
a very sad case actually, but an autistic child has
gone missing in the area and here he was in
their backyard ripping out all.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
The plants, ripping out all the plants.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Chance they caught that, they got this kid and returned
to his parents, who are obviously, you know, besides themselves,
beside themselves worried about where he was. And that's just
down the road from.
Speaker 14 (24:05):
At least it's a happy ending, really, But I mean,
if you were there and you're thinking, what's going on
here when you find a child wrapping out?
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Probably but happening in this world? What weather?
Speaker 14 (24:17):
Okay, well, it's not a good day to be rubbing blood.
We've got showers, possibly heavy thundery with hail.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
You told me good news, No, you told me how
yesterday you were lying. I was waiting for it. I
even said to everybody outside and say, hey, this hail today,
it's going to be fun day on the weather front.
Speaker 14 (24:35):
That never a ready manas she's such a liar lion
pants on fire. Okay, well, the high of twenty let's
see if that happens.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yeah, I don't believe it. Happy Friday, seventeen to six
News Talk sep b us Talks b is qught it
to six. The Regulatory Standards Bill, David Simo's Regultory Standards Bill.
We'll get to that in just a second, because on
the one side, you've got the sky caving in from
the opposition, but on the other you've got a guy
saying this is actually just a bunch of basically principles.
(25:04):
They're not legally enforceable. You just have to consider them
when you're making laws, and they seem quite reasonable. So
we'll talk about that in just a second. Also, some
happy news to start your Friday morning. Fossil fuel emissions
have apparently had a record high two point six percent
increase in temperatures will be happening by the end of
the century. That's on pre industrial levels, and nothing that's
(25:25):
happening at this COP thirty conference is going to fix that.
But actually I had a number for you because it's interesting.
This is the individual nations their contribution, and the government
can take a bow and take its hat off, because
guess what global carbon budget projects thirty eight one billion
(25:47):
tons of fossil carbon dioxide emissions this year. That is
a record high. The US is up, China is up,
Japan is down, but also so is New Zealand. New
Zealand emissions down two point nine percent from twenty twenty four.
So is someone and going is Chloe going to stand
up and clip for Simon.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Watts International correspondence with ins an Eye Insurance, Peace of
Mind for New Zealand business.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
So I think the sixth now Vincent Mecavini a UK
europe correspondents, and the Epstein thing in some more revelations
about Andrew.
Speaker 15 (26:25):
Yeah, that's right. Thousands of emails were released in the
US yesterday by Congress in their sort of slow release
of all these Epstein files, and it found more emails
relating to the man previously known as Prince Andrew now
known as Andrew mount Bassan Windsor, and a really telling
email from twenty eleven in which Epstein writes that yes,
(26:49):
Geoffrey was on my plane and yes she had her
picture taken with Andrew. Now, this account contradicts the Prince's
assertion that he never met miss Giffray, despite having paid
that rather large settlement to her a few years ago,
and his long standing suggestion, as he said in that
BBC Newsnight interview, that the image was a fake one.
Epstein is clearly saying that's not the case. The pair
(27:11):
met and that image is real. So more damaging allegations
towards him as he prepares to be removed from his
big royal lodge home and sent to Sandringham to spend
the rest of his days.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
What do we call him now, Justine, That's exactly what
we call him.
Speaker 15 (27:27):
It's just Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, no titles, nothing, all right.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Hey, Vincent, thank you? Vincent? Mecha anyhow? UK europe correspondent time.
It's twelve minutes away from six. Ryan Labour says it
all repeal the Rigulatory Standards Bill and its first one
hundred days of elicted next year. That is still a
big if at this point. The bill passed its third
reading in the House last night, officially becomes Lord Duncan Wibbs,
Labour's regulation spokesperson. Good morning, good morning, good to be here,
(27:53):
Good to have you on the show. And what is
so because these are a bunch of principles, they're not
legally enforcible. What are you and nickers and such a
twist for.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
Well, the point is that this is the rules about
how you make law, and so that affects all the
law we make. And it's tilting the playing field. It's
saying that every time you make a law, you've got
to look at this list of principles and you've got
to apply it. And someone sitting over in the corner,
this regultary standards board as a referee, and it's telling
(28:22):
you off if you don't follow those particular rules. And
the rules are not balanced. They are.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
But but the thing is, you guys had the well
being budgets and you had the you know, you've got
to tick this box and tip back box. What's it?
I mean, this is just a bit of it in
the other direction, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (28:41):
Well, no, it's quite different because the well Being budget
was a set of principles around how you spend public funds.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
And this is a set of principles about how you
make laws.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
Yeah, making law is absolutely fundamental to how the society works.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
But they're not imp you can ignore them.
Speaker 6 (28:59):
But if you've got to set of principles that say
you've got to make law that preserves private property but
doesn't mention things like public health, the environment or human rights,
you're going to get private property promoted and help environment
nor them.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Duncan.
Speaker 6 (29:13):
Well, no, that's not how it works. This is about
how you make quality law. This is how public servants
will develop policy. This is how people like it will
be harder to make well. Not impossible, but harder. Just
like the Bill of Rights Act, which prevents, for example,
the right from a legal search and seizure. The government
can ignore it, but it does so add its peril.
It's a political cost, even it's not a legal cost.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
The submissions on this, I mean, there were heaps of posed,
but the submissions are different from public opinion. Is this
You guys are saying this is going to be done
in a first one hundred days. Big deal. I've never
heard anyone talking about it at a barbecue.
Speaker 6 (29:50):
Ah, gee, you should come to my barbecue. Just we's
all we talk about.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Thank you. Look a lot of people are worried about it, though,
and there are people who are.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
You think, Oh, look a lot of the law society,
for example, was really the law of human rights. You
go to the Abattue, the Human Rights Commission, the Children's Commissioner,
all these people who aren't necessarily labor party your.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Life, duncan. Are you leaving the party because you didn't
get a wealth text?
Speaker 6 (30:19):
No, No, look, I'm leaving the party because I want
to do some more exciting things. But you know, talking
about well it's going to be good, it's good. I
think it's a really good idea. I think so you didn't.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Want more, You didn't want more, Duncan.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
Well, look, I think I'm happy was where we've landed.
I think it's achievable. It won't affect most New Zealanders,
but it will pay for some really great health services.
I think it's a great step forward.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Duncan Web from Labor appreciate your time. It is nine
Away from Sex News Talks The b.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
The first word on the News of the Day Early
edition with Ryan Bridge and r V super Center explore
r v's accessories and servicing.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
More than one news talks be.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Given to six. Have you ever gone to buy house
or buy an apartment or something and the agent tells
you that the price, Oh no, it's going to be
really cheap. Get in there, going to auction, Get in there,
the price will be really cheap. You can afford it.
And then you go and get your inspection done, you
get a builder through, you spend all this money and
then the price is double what they said it would be.
(31:18):
In Australia there is a law against this, and in
New South Wales the government is going to increase the penalty.
So if a real estate agent under Cox or under
quotes the value of the property to you, and you're
a buyer, they can face a penalty of it was
twenty two thousand Australian dollars. That is going to a
maximum one hundred and ten thousand dollars for breeches, and
(31:39):
I think that's a good idea. I encountered this problem
when I went to buy my first property, a unit
that I wanted to live in, and my budget was
about four hundred and fifty thousand dollars and the agent
said and on trade me the range was way down
below that. And they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, come on,
So you spend all the money, you get every thing done,
(32:00):
get in there. Starting of the auction, the starting bid
was five hundred and twenty. I didn't have a show
and it went for something like six fifty crying bridge, trageous,
five to six mikes.
Speaker 16 (32:13):
Here morning mate, You've done your due diligence and how
to look around the marketplace. You could have gone into
that transaction knowing pretty much what the thing was worth.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
The problem with that is you then have to get
valuations done. You can do your own cursory glance, which
I did and looked at at recent sales. But I
was a bit off.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
I was.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
It was my first time doing that kind of thing.
And the problem is that if you rely on where
on the trade, me or the agents.
Speaker 16 (32:43):
Of course I agree with you, but you sold it
and your made some money and you're now the wealthy
end of it.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
No way, didn't buy it. I didn't buy it.
Speaker 16 (32:49):
Because you couldn't afford it.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Couldn't afford it.
Speaker 16 (32:51):
Have you got a home now, I've got a home now.
That's okay, So it's worked out well in the end.
You're not like one of those people at Queen Street
or something like that.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
No no, no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 16 (32:59):
You are in your own ship. You've got an iron shirt.
Normally you're a miss, but this morning that's well, you're
a shambles. But that's a good looking shirt and it
looks like it's been well ironed, and you've made them.
And of course I can spot it, can I tell them?
By the way, most of your shirts that like they
haven't seen an ie and fifty.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Years me, they're always iron the night before most of
them polyester.
Speaker 16 (33:18):
Everyone out is poly.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
You know what I do want? The problem, as I
was talking to Figure about this yesterday? Is I need
new shirts?
Speaker 16 (33:26):
The Herald buying them for you?
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Well, yes, and I keep them here and wear them.
Speaker 16 (33:30):
He would you want to buy? Would you wear a
shirt the Herald would buy it for you? I mean, honestly,
what's the price?
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Sponsored? Sponsor? Sponsorship? Do you wear like a badge brought
to your Ryan shirt? Brought to you? Buy?
Speaker 7 (33:43):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (33:44):
For goodness sake, because what happens Micause people look at
me and they say, I want to be like that guy?
Do they they do?

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
