Speaker 1 (00:01):
The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
earlier ship with r V Supercenter explore r VE successories
and servicing more than one news talks that'd be Tuesday morning.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
The education results are they as good as they sound
and are being made out to be Donald tomorrow in
Australia for us this morning, we'll look at the tourism
numbers they're coming back. We'll also look at migration it's
not and Marco Rubio's former staff are on Gaza. The
agenda Big Party in Israel and Hostage Square is those hostages'
final hostages released. Hello, he Isnttanyahu's speaking at parliament.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Mister President is the indispensable foundation of peace, Peace through strength,
ladies and gentlemen. This is a momentous day, ADEV. Great
joy as the remaining hostages come home.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
And here is the big man himself doing the victory lap.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
And your view is the war between his warzone.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
The war is over, Okay, you understand that. Get ahead
of the headlines on an early edition with Brian Bridge
and r V Supercenter explore r VS accessories and servicing
all in one news talk.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Sa'd be the numbers text seven minutes after five. It
is a bizarre photo opportunity that's going on right now
in Egypt. So you've got Trump standing there on a stage,
all the cameras flashing. You know, this is, by the way,
as the hostages barely got themselves a cup of tea
after being released. You know, the tanks are still in reverse,
half in reverse. And you've got Trump there with leaders
(01:38):
from all around the world desperate for a grip and
grin and a handshake with him in a photo op
and it's all happening. There's a giant sign beneath their
feet that says peace twenty twenty five. So I mean,
they seem pretty convinced that this thing's going to hold,
even though there's no peace still signed yet. But here's
(01:58):
the guest lists there from France. You've got Urduan, he's
their starmers there, Maloney from Italy. Gutaris, the UN Secretary General,
he's going to sort it all out. Of course. You've
got leaders from Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Mertz is there from Germany.
Even Karne's there from Canada. What's Carne got to do
with any of this? Anyway, They're all there, and they
(02:20):
are all currently shaking Trump's hand and getting a photo
op and the piece in the Middle East. Yeah, celebrations,
it's all sorted. Eight minutes after five. I had to
laugh at the news last night when they said that
teachers deserve a pay rise because student achievement is increasing
this year. Does that mean we should dock their pay
(02:41):
for all the years of crap performance like the last ten.
If the indicators are going backwards, then shouldn't they pay
follow suit? It made me laugh because this is a
union and it's important to distinguish the unions from the
teachers who hates the idea of performance pay. Teachers shouldn't
be judged on how well their students performed, becase, because
then the bad teachers wouldn't get paid. Most teachers are
(03:03):
nothing like the hardcore, meliciant types that you see on
the television, but good people just trying to teach our kids'
basic stuff and most of the time they do all right.
Sometimes usually when a government gets in the way, student
achievement gets worse. So the big strike is looming. This
is one hundred thousand workers across many different health education
bunch of stuff, and everybody will be going on Instagram
(03:25):
and asking whose side are you on you know who
are you backing? The fact is this mega strike wouldn't
be happening if labor was in government. That's not to
say the union members don't want better pay, nor that
they should be getting it. But let's not get ourselves.
The mega strikes as much about unions hating luxen and
wanting to change the government as it is about paying conditions.
(03:46):
Bryan Bridge five ten on News Talk z B, We'll
get to Marco Rubio's former chief of staff for his
presidential campaign, on this deal that's hopefully going to I mean,
they've put the cart before the horse. They're taking the
photos before the things. But peace in the Middle East.
Everybody on your Tuesday morning news Talk set.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
B News and Views you trust to start your day.
It's earlier this ship with Bryan Bridge and r V
Supercenter next four, r v's accessories at Servicing fall and
one News Talk.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Set B five twelve. The PSI services sector. This is
seventy percent of our economy still in contraction mode. Unfortunately,
September's read was forty eight point three, August was forty
seven point five, so it is better, but still not
above fifty, which is growing. That is now nineteen months
of contraction for the services sector and comes of course
after Friday we got the manufacturing number, which is also
(04:39):
going backwards and bridge read by twelve. Big peace summit
underway in Egypt. Hostages released, Palestinian prisoners handed over. So far,
so good. Here's Trump addressing Israel's parliament today.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
The skys are calm, the guns are silent, the sirens
are still, and the sun rises on.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
A holy land that is finally at peace.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Right Joining us this morning is a Matt Tyrold, former
chief of staff for Mica Rubio's twenty sixteen presidential campaign. Met.
Good morning, Good to have you on the show.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Great to be with you, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I know that the photo ops are happening. There's a
lot of grip and grinning going on. But is it
too early to say this is a peace deal?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Well, look, I think this is a piece deal. Obviously
more work needs to be done. But the first step
and getting to this piece deal was getting these hostages home,
and it's great to see that happen here. So this
is a really an amazing thing to watch, the first
step to full peace in the region. Really, in terms
of end of this war as well was getting these
(05:38):
hostages home. Obviously, more work needs to be done, but
you're seeing President Trump already underway. And the bigger element
of this is that this isn't just President Trump doing this. Obviously,
this would not be done, it would not be achieved
without President Trump. But what he's done has been brilliant.
He put together a coalition of Arab and Muslim countries,
for example, to come to the table, put pressure on
(05:59):
Hamas and help me this happen. But ultimately, if it
was about President Trump's leadership, this would not be happening.
Right now. You have a I think a great opportunity
here to the forge lasting piece. But this is a
piece deal. More work needs to be done, but a great
day give theseag is home.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
There is a lot of talk this morning about who's
gets the credit that kind of thing. How's it playing
out in the media in America? Are they, you know,
are those more lift wing outlets happy to say this
is down to Trump and congratulations mister President.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Well, look, you're even seeing Secretary former Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton and former Vice President Kamala Harris praise President
Trump in terms of what he's accomplished here. I think
Republicans and Democrats alike recognize that this was a major challenge.
And look throughout my lifetime, I've never seen peace in
the Middle East, and you're seeing it now today with
(06:50):
the return of these hostages. And what you've seen here
is that this didn't happen overnight. You know, President Trump
has been working on this for months, and even in
his first term with the Abraham Accords, you saw him
making progress and trying to get peace in the Middle East.
But ultimately we saw on his second term here was
him go to the Middle East and meet with leaders
in Saudi Arabia, guitar the UAE. You know, He's had
(07:12):
relationships in the region but also also worldwide, and you're
seeing those leaders today in Egypt shaking hands with the
President Trump, you know, taking pictures with President Trump. This
was a brilliant move by the President. He put together
an effective coalition of world leaders to come together. Par
took me those world leaders in neighboring countries to put
(07:33):
the necessary pressure on Hamas and to help make this
day happen. But it started with President Trump making these
relationships happen. And it comes down in relationships, you know, negotiation,
is about relationships, and President Trump has strong relationships with
these Arab and Muslim world leaders, strong relationships with leaders
around the world. That on top of that, you know
(07:55):
the bombing on Iran, you know that that was instrumental
in helping him get here. So it's been a multipoint
approach by President Trump. The critic goes to hand the
Secretary of Rubio, Steve Wickoff, Jared Kushner of Arka Trump.
But there's so many other people within Prosident Trump's administration
who helped make this happen. It's been a team effort.
But again I go back to only one world leader
might have open. You could a gotten that's done. That
(08:16):
world leader's name is Prosident Donald J. Trump.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Appreciate your time. Matt Matt Terrell, who's former chief staff
to Mark A. Rubio sixteen after five Ryan Bridge Home.
By the way, this is from Grant. I quite like
this one. Grant, So the war is over. It must
have been the priests that chained themselves to Nicholas office. Yeah,
I'm sure they had something to do with it. Grant
food Stuff's North Island is partnered with a packaging company
and this is all about a green and nothing wrong
(08:39):
with them doing this. Okay, you can do what you like.
You're a private business. But this is a returnable deli
containers because they want to get rid of the single
use plastics. So what you do is you buy your
deli goods in a reusable container. You tap your card
or your phone or your wallet or whatever. You tap
that and and then you go away. You each your
(09:02):
deli food, and then within four weeks you have to
come back and give the container back tap your card
and then you don't get charged. If you don't come
back within four weeks, then you are charged three dollars. Now,
what's wrong with the story? Nothing really, except for the
fact that the government is putting in three hundred and
twenty nine thousand dollars to enable this trial. Bring your
(09:26):
own plan if you want to, I don't care like,
bring your own containers. You know, if you want to
be Captain Planet, go right ahead, bring your own containers.
Why do we need government money going into this? I
don't understand it. Seventeen after five Newstalks FB.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Ryan Bridge on early edition with r VS Supercenter explore
RVs excess or reasons servicing All in one News talks.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
FB five twenty will look at the education results just
before six this morning and find out whether they are
actually meaningful, whether there is too early to say. Right now,
the Aussies are helping push us towards our first pre
COVID tourism summer stats in ZED numbers two hundred and
thirty thousand terurists for August. That's an increase of sixteen
thousand on last year. August was ninety two percent of
(10:11):
pre COVID. Cath O'Brien is Barnes TEEP executive director with
us this morning, Kat, Good morning.
Speaker 6 (10:18):
Good morning Ryan.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
So how confident are you we will hit pre COVID
this summer?
Speaker 7 (10:24):
Well, look, I think we might get close. And it's
been a long time since I've been talking about some
good news, so I'm really pleased to see these August
numbers and I think it's really promising for summer.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Okay, that's good. Are we a little obsessed with the
pre COVID thing. Shouldn't we be ahead of it already?
You know?
Speaker 8 (10:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (10:43):
I mean for sure we were later to open and
I think, you know, it really as a product of
this country being a really long way away from the
rest of the world. And so our connections have taken
longer to restore. But I think, you know, looking ahead
to this summer, over the summer season, airlines are expecting
to see eight point two percent increased capacity against last summer,
(11:03):
so you know, really quite a lot more seats in
the sky, and so the opportunity is there to hit
our pre COVID numbers.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Where is the capacity coming from?
Speaker 6 (11:13):
Yeah, it's a range.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
I mean, you know, we've heard a lot about the
Tasman capacity added by Cornus Group, and that's fantastic with
the jetstile services and the new services to deneed it
into Hamilton. But I would also say there's a range
of other sort of additional growth that's come into New Zealand,
and that comes from a range of destinations. So the
America's you know, Singapore, Hong Kong, you know, all those
(11:38):
markets have grown in terms of airline capacity.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Which is good, which is what we need because if
we rely just on the Aussies or the Aussies to
do the heavy lifting, they don't stay as long and
spend as much here, right, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (11:50):
I mean the Tasman travel always has been a substantial
part of the New Zealand market. So it's really important
and I think, you know, we would welcome any visitor,
would we not, So I think it's great to see
those of these coming. But it's also great to see
the internationals coming over summer. And I really hope this
is meaningful for tourism, isn't of the cross New Zealand
who have been waiting a long time to see this recovery?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Very long time indeed, And as you say, nice to
have some even a glimmer of some good news on
the tourism Frontkah, thank you, it really is. Thank you,
Ryan Keath, Ryan Barnes, Executive director.
Speaker 8 (12:21):
Time.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
It's twenty two minutes after five News talks the b
Ryan back to the bad news because that was all
too positive for a second, wasn't it. So statsn ZI,
this is a number of this is your migration numbers.
I mean it is bad, but it's it's good and bad.
So number of New Zealand citizens leaving long term peaked
at about seven thousand, six hundred in January this year.
(12:44):
Since then it's actually been declining. This is New Zealand
citizens leaving long term. In August it was five six hundred,
so two thousand less okay, lowest number in any month
since November last year. But citizens returning here has also
been in steady decline this throughout this year, from about
(13:07):
twenty four hundred and January to about sixteen hundred in August.
So we have a net loss of about almost four
thousand for August, a net loss of about four thousand
for August, but that net loss is also declining. It
was more than five thousand in January. So overall, yes,
it's bad, but it's getting less bad as we go on,
(13:30):
and we are still in positive territory, of course, once
you add in the new migrants. But it's funny. I'm
going to talk to you about house prices. We've got
an update on that coming for you next. You know,
funny the house prices and migration. We bitch and moan
when they're going up. Oh, it's too expensive for theirstyle,
there's too many migrants. But then when it dries up,
we are equally as depressed. So what do we really want?
(13:54):
Twenty four after five News Talk SEB.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
The early edition full the show podcast on radio powered
by News.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Talks at B.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Five. Twenty six News Talks A be Let's go to
Trump he's in Egypt for this peace summit, Giant, Big
Sciences Peace twenty twenty five years. The hostages have been
handed over and he's now talking and I'll tell you
what he's going to say in just a second.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
This was the.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
One, This was the granddaddy of the role, and frankly,
I thought this was probably going to be the toughest
and maybe into many wheres.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
It was.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
But we're leading Vic Dallen, Steve.
Speaker 9 (14:33):
Witcoves, Jared Marco, p.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
General Kny.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
He's so bad.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Giant Ratcliffe was incredible.
Speaker 10 (14:42):
We had an amazing array.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Of talent and we were out to play, in particular
the countries represented at this table.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
So yes, he is congratulating himself, is patting himself on
the back, But to be fair to him, he is
also sharing the love with all of the leaders that
there's about twenty of them have gathered in Egypt for
this peace summit. Time now twenty seven after five. Shot
the numbers for you this morning. Qv House Price Index.
This is for the September quarter going backwards and Auckland
leading the fall. Homes are worth an average of one
(15:13):
point one percent less Auckland's two and a half percent
less this is over the quarter, and how does that
make you feel? Really? Most homeowners, of course, won't care
because they're not trying to sell their houses right now.
But for those who aren't depressing, first home buyers love it.
They're cranking at the moment. They're a quarter of new
mortgages first home buyers first half of this year a quarter.
(15:35):
So we've got to ask ourselves, is this really what
we want? When the numbers are bad for owners and
for homeowners, they're good for would be owners. We're forever
complaining about the price of property until we need to
sell it. So if this is the new normal, then
we better get used to it. It's interesting to look
at what is selling as well, because we had another developer,
(15:56):
this is an Auckland apartments. Go bust yesterday and have
a look at the apartments, even the nice ones that
they were building. Is that really somewhere you would want
to live. Guess what's not selling. It's the new builds
without car parks. This idea that somebody will want to
buy a shoe box and catch a bus is clearly
not working out in the way that they intended. They
(16:18):
are taking the longest time to sell turns out people
also like privacy. Who would have thought quite an important factor.
The biggest story here is that prices are lower and
deep down. Even though we say we want to fix
the housing crisis, most people aren't happy about it.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Brian Breadwi.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Twenty eight minutes after five, Katie Perry and Justin Trudeau
are officially a thing. The climate warrior in Tradeau was
seen on board her yacht, presumably after getting off her
private jet, canoodling and kissing. She's split from Orlando Bloom
and they didn't care if they were photographed. This was
(17:04):
all happening in Santa Barbara, California, hardly a discrete location.
He even grabbed her butt with their togs. The photographers
caught that on camera. Two are settled up next to
a whale watching boat and they were kissing and smooching.
I mean, congratulations to them, so long as they're happy.
Twenty nine after five, we'll be in Australia with Donod
de Mayo.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Next The News You Need This Morning and the in
Depth Analysis Early Edition with Ryan Bridge and r V

Speaker 2 (17:49):
All in one news talks. A'd be.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Twenty four away from the six year on news talks
would be two questions for you, Will Chloe congratulate Trump
for a peace in the mid least Hillary and Carmela
already have?
Speaker 2 (18:02):
The other question is will jan Tonedi congratulate Erica on
these education numbers this morning? If neither of them do,
do they really care about the causes or are they
just playing politics with them? And should they in future
be ignored. We'll talk to a principle on PHONUX before six.
Donna to Mayo with us out of Australia next Bridge
first to have reporters around the country. Callum Proctor and
(18:24):
Denedan Callum, good morning.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Morning.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Right now we've got a people focus from the new
Dunedin mayor. What does that mean?
Speaker 11 (18:34):
Well, this is this Sophie Barker is saying she's looking
to improving council culture with a relatively new lock council
here in Dunedin. Barker confirmed as the new mayor elects
for the city, narrowly of a businessman Andrews Sims. The
previous Muntual's Radick finished fourth in the mayoral race. This
time it retains a seat on council. There are six
(18:55):
new faces. So Sophie Barker says she will look to
improve culture. She describes her leadership style as inclusive and
she wants to bring people together. Meanwhile, Ryan, the Central
Otago District councils addressing public concerns about Vincent Ward councilor
elect Dave McKenzie. It's been made aware of alleged unethical
(19:16):
conduct from McKenzie while he worked as a contractor for
the council. So they're reviewing findings from a previous investigation.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
So interesting, calem. How's your weather our chance.
Speaker 11 (19:26):
Of showers through the day today, Winston Northeast, the High thirteenth.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
All right, thank you, Claires and christ it's clear, good morning,
Good morning. What's going on at the new stadium?
Speaker 12 (19:35):
Yeah, well, the first event at the new stadium has
been revealed this morning, Ryan, and listen. It does involve
the Crusaders, but no, it's not a rugby match. Instead
the full Bally's Full House virtual fundraiser. Well, how to
give people a first look inside the stadium and also
mark the launch of the ticket Master venue map. Tickets
will cost eight dollars fifty then all of the proceeds
(19:57):
will go to a charity called Full Ballet. The christ
Church based organization helps families in need by providing children
with food delivered to schools now venues. Auto Tahie Chief
executive Caroline Harvey Tier says this is a charity that
already partners with the Crusaders. She says, Full Valleys feeds
kids that simply fall through the cracks, which they think
aligns very nicely with venues Auto Tahi.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Oh nice, So no one I'll actually get to go
inside as virtual this thing exactly.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
Yeah, not a look inside.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Just yeskay, all right, how's your weather?
Speaker 12 (20:29):
Mostly cloudy? There is the odd shower about mainly early today,
then cloud breaking up by evening. Southerly's turning northeasterly and
thirteen degrees.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Here's clear. Have good day, Max, and good morning to you.
Speaker 10 (20:40):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Andrew Little's right into it. The Golden Mile review underway.
Speaker 10 (20:44):
Yeah, that's right, a new mayor, let's see if there
are new ideas. Yeah, it is effectively paused. I think
now that would be fair to say the Golden Mile
plan to pedestrianized Courtney Place to Lambton Keino cars just buses.
It was, of course, Tori Fino's flagship project. Bill hasn't
actually started proper. There's preliminary work going on at the
top of Courtney Place, but we're still quite a few
(21:06):
years away from it being finished, let alone starting a
little bit a bit coy about it. What he's implying
is it's just not worth the cost right now, and
it is already being reviewed. All the businesses along that
stretch don't want it. The public is mixed. It means
years of roadworks. An argument that Tory and her officials
made is that scrapping it would be throwing away free money,
(21:27):
that there's already government funding secured. Why waste that? But
little He was in the studio yesterday talking to Nick
Nick Mills. He did talk some sense, pointing out that
the council still needs to pay its share as well.
We need to pay for it as well as the government.
There's no such thing as free money. He also says
he's spoken already to every counselor. He wants them all
on board. No more Crown Observer needed, thank you very much,
(21:47):
No more gossip. He's hiring a new team. It is
now day two.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
No more pendulous brist.
Speaker 10 (21:53):
Exactly how well we'll see about that.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Ray Chang still there, isn't he so sure? Yes?
Speaker 10 (21:59):
Yes, but his enemy number one is gone from council.
The one upside for mister Chunk mostly cloudy today. Southerly's
developing fifteen. The high Central cheers Max morning, never good morning.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
How are we?
Speaker 10 (22:11):
We're good?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Now? There's a e waste concerns this morning because Windows
ten expires today.
Speaker 8 (22:16):
Yes, did you know about that?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I heard of only because I got at home. Honestly,
I wouldn't even know.
Speaker 8 (22:23):
Yeah, I was just trying to figure out what I
want at home. I think I might have updated to Windows.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
What are we up to? Are we up to?
Speaker 8 (22:30):
We're up to eleven?
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Eleven?
Speaker 8 (22:32):
Yeah, you're up to.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
If you're not on eleven and you're on ten today,
it'll stop working.
Speaker 8 (22:36):
It'll stop working. So you know you've got Yeah, and look,
you've your best too. You can just stay on ten
and just have but still obviously pay for that because
it's all about the security and the security that you'll
you get.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
You get hacked, Yeah, you get hacked.
Speaker 8 (22:50):
So you needed that security for up to another year
for ten. But I think most people are kind of
making that little We jumped to eleven. Yeah, So Microsoft
is telling its customers, Update, Update pay, extend the support
for that security for another year. But the Auckland Council
like with all of that, it's doubt was more than
a dozen rubbish truck fires this year caused by discarded
(23:12):
lithium iron batteries. They're saying, look, computers and laptops also
contain these batteries. So with that, you know Windows ten
expiring today, you know, just make sure you just sort
all of this out.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
And it's just that, don't throw it away.
Speaker 10 (23:26):
Don't throw it.
Speaker 8 (23:27):
Away, that's right. Well we can catch fire real.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Fast, yeah they can too.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
House our weather rain, easy to scatter shels in the
afternoon clearing Tonight nineteen is high here in Auckland.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Brilliant think you Neva Great to see you as always.
It is eighteen minutes away from six. On news Talk,
zaid b loads of texts on both housing and immigration, Ryan,
good morning, Good to have you d This is from George.
It's patinally obvious that this country needs large immigration levels
to have a growing economy, and why this isn't being
(23:57):
spelled out by all economic experts is yond me. Are
they afraid of these xenophobic backlash? I think so? Says
Dave Ryan. This is on housing from rob The market
has spoken we do not want apartments with no car parks.
You get the ministers keep trying to ram these, including
Chris Bishop, down our throats. I mean there is truth
(24:18):
in that. If you look at what's not selling, what's
taking the longest to sell, it's apartments that have no
indoor outdoor flow, apartments that are too small and poky,
and apartments that don't have car parks. Seventeen to six.
We're in Australia. Next on News Talk SEB. If you
run a small business, you know how annoying it is
waiting to get paid. You finish a job, you send
an invoice, and then you spend weeks chasing people up
(24:40):
like some sort of debt collector. Well you're not. Zero's
tap to pay power by Stripe changes all of this completely,
changes of the game. Your customer taps their card on
your phone, Boom, You're paid on the spot. No fancy
payment terminal needed, just the zero accounting app. And here's
the really smart bit. Once the payment goes through, the
invoice is automatically marked as paid in zero, ready to
(25:01):
be reconciled. Less admen, less mucking around, less paperwork, more
time running your actual business, the thing you wanted to
be doing in the first place. It's secure an instant.
It keeps your cash flow moving instead of grinding to
a hold every month. Accept payments on the spot as
soon as the job's complete. No more awkward I'll get
that invoice to your kind of conversations. For small businesses,
(25:22):
this could genuinely be a game changer. Less time chasing
late payments, more time focusing on what you do best.
Supercharge your business with zero tap to pay, Getting paid
has got a whole lot easier search, zero tap to pay.

Education numbers in a second fourteen to six donat a
moment out of Australia done a good morning.
Speaker 9 (25:46):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Quantus customers aren't very happy about this data breach and
now it's on the dark web.
Speaker 9 (25:52):
Yes that's true, So just a little refresher. It was
in July that these cyber criminals treat a Quantus call
center worker in the Philippines into handing over access to
customer information. Now these customers are voicing their concerns because
their personal data has been posted on the dark web
at the weekend. So the cyber crime collective had demanded
a ransom and the deadline passed and Quantus did not pay.
(26:16):
This impacts up to five point seven million Quantus customers.
So now there's a lot of questions being posed, and
one of them is it's unclear at this point if
Quantus will be blamed perhaps for any privacy law breaches
that follow the release of the information on the dark web.
What about will the airline face financial penalties after the
(26:37):
data was stolen? And so some customers now are just
saying that they have you know, one of them said,
I haven't even heard directly from Quantus. There's a lot
of let's just say, a lot of frustrated and anxious
people out there, and we've heard from the cyber experts
out there say just stay vigilant. Not so reassuring.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
I would say, this is the problem. I was talking
about this yesterday. Donna. You can't help but give your
inform away because they require an of you. You've got
no choice, you know, that's absolutely Hey, which were's the
crime capital of Australia? Which state gets the honors?
Speaker 9 (27:09):
Are you intrigued? Well, the latest figures have identified the
car theft capital of Australia and yes it is Victoria.
In the past year there's been a forty one percent
increase in motor vehicle theft and that's the highest recorded
number since two thousand and three. So they've calculated every
forty four minutes or so an insurer is getting a
(27:30):
call about a car theft or attempted break in. In
New South Wales, comparatively, there was an increase of only
six percent. So we've heard from the Crime Statistics Agency
and it shows that over twelve months, six hundred and
thirty eight thousand criminal incidents have occurred and about one
hundred and twenty thousand incidents relate to cars. The state
(27:50):
governments have responded. We've had a comment from the State
of Police are out there every single day addressing this
type of offending.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
That is all I appreciate you had signed Donald tom
out of Australia. It is eleven away from six R
and Bridge, so kids are reading better. This is phonics.
The government's taking credit for it. Structured literacy data for
new entrants year ones meeting or exceeding expectations that went
from thirty six percent in term one not great, to
fifty eight percent in term three, which sounds much better.
(28:20):
Jason Miles's Kipoy North School principal and the vice president
of Principal's Federation Jason, good morning morning, Ryan, So kid,
is that as good? What does that actually mean? That number?
Speaker 6 (28:32):
Well, it is certainly positive news. You know, there's early
signs that data from the Ministry is showing the positive
trends and how our five year olds are developing for
netic awareness, which is teaching sounds or phonemes to letters,
which is a grapme, but it's not necessarily an ability
(28:54):
to read the meaning.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
So what else could we be missing out on if
we're focusing on this at the expense of.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
What No, don't get me wrong, it's very important. It's
essential that children can decode words and this is the
start of the reading journey. So you know, these foundation
skills are essential. But what this isn't giving is a
full picture of a child's ability to read. And at
(29:24):
five year old five years old, this is the most
important aspect.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Right, So for this age group thirty six percent in
term one to fifty eight percent, you'd have to say
they are far better equipped to be able to read
than they were two terms ago.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
Well, so it is a very small data data set
and you know, you've got to look this information in context.
You know, it's a really positive trend that we're seeing,
but as it's a small data set, we want to
see this over time and schools that have been in
the structured literacy space for a long time are aware
(30:05):
of how much this is going to have an impact
on teaching and reading right through New Zealand. But this
is a great, great start.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Okay, how many schools like, where's why is this not
wider data? When do we get wider data?
Speaker 6 (30:21):
Well, the moment the phonics check data, it's voluntary where
the schools put the data into the ministry. Next year
it's going to be compulsory for all schools. So at
that point we'll get a bigger data set and then
we'll be able to look at the progress of children
(30:42):
over time. So this is just looking at different children
at twenty weeks. What we're interested in as educators is
the improvement of children over time. So we'll check twenty weeks,
then we'll check individual data forty weeks and compare.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Okay, appreciate your time Jason Miles, who's a Chiapoy North
School principle. It is eight to six News Talks.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
B, 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 more than one News
Talks FB.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
It is six to sex News Talks BE. Loads of
texts on the principle we just had on the program, Ryan,
could your call it, Jason not be more enthusiastic about
the phonics results for the government, please, Ryan Jeep. It's
hard for them to say, isn't it just congratulate Erica
on the results. I mean, he does have a point.
(31:39):
It's a small sample size, blah blah blah. And he
did say to be fair, and he did say that
it's moving in the right direction. Right. It is five
to two now, Mike's in the studio. Good morning, Mike.
Speaker 5 (31:49):
Well, how can you not search moving in the right direction?
Stats don't lie, do they at the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
But it's a sample sized thing is relevant. It's only
those schools that were you know, volunteered to give them
all of that stuff.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
But if you're going to take a snapshot what I
liked about it was the Q under Q three things.
So we'll turn one to term three thing, which is
comparatively speaking, a fairly short period of time totally. And
so we talked to Erica this morning, and my big
question will be whether this is sort of low hanging
fruits of all the changes that are going on in education.
Is that the sort of thing you'd expect to improve
fairly rapidly if you suddenly introduce something. So I don't
(32:22):
know the answer to.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
The basic thing for that year level. It's the basic
thing for learning how to read? And so how have
you let it be thirty six? So long?
Speaker 5 (32:32):
Very good question because it was asked at the press
conference yesterday, and she referenced Kaiapoi North, which is just
spoke to, yeah, which is a school that she went
to and found some sort of inspiration out there to
go forth in her crusade to change the lives of
young people in this country. So anyway, that's where it
came from. But it's a fair question, isn't it that
you put up with such an extraordinary level of mediocrity
(32:56):
in all areas of education for so many years.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Also that you have the educators and the university education
people who advise on education, advising against phonics because it's bad.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
For These were the people. I mean, this is the
problem with education. It has been for years. I mean
there are still people in education that will tell you
that a barn like environment with some beanbags is the
way to go and it's the.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Future of it.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
And of course obviously we found out it's not so.
For everything wrong for every era, there's a you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
But then the problem is we will listen to them again.
You know this is that is we going cycle difficult? Difficult?

Sa'd be the numbers text seven minutes after five. It
is a bizarre photo opportunity that's going on right now
in Egypt. So you've got Trump standing there on a stage,
all the cameras flashing. You know, this is, by the way,
as the hostages barely got themselves a cup of tea
after being released. You know, the tanks are still in reverse,
half in reverse. And you've got Trump there with leaders
(01:38):
from all around the world desperate for a grip and
grin and a handshake with him in a photo op
and it's all happening. There's a giant sign beneath their
feet that says peace twenty twenty five. So I mean,
they seem pretty convinced that this thing's going to hold,
even though there's no peace still signed yet. But here's
(01:58):
the guest lists there from France. You've got Urduan, he's
their starmers there, Maloney from Italy. Gutaris, the UN Secretary General,
he's going to sort it all out. Of course. You've
got leaders from Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Mertz is there from Germany.
Even Karne's there from Canada. What's Carne got to do
with any of this? Anyway, They're all there, and they
(02:20):
are all currently shaking Trump's hand and getting a photo
op and the piece in the Middle East. Yeah, celebrations,
it's all sorted. Eight minutes after five. I had to
laugh at the news last night when they said that
teachers deserve a pay rise because student achievement is increasing
this year. Does that mean we should dock their pay
(02:41):
for all the years of crap performance like the last ten.
If the indicators are going backwards, then shouldn't they pay
follow suit? It made me laugh because this is a
union and it's important to distinguish the unions from the
teachers who hates the idea of performance pay. Teachers shouldn't
be judged on how well their students performed, becase, because
then the bad teachers wouldn't get paid. Most teachers are
(03:03):
nothing like the hardcore, meliciant types that you see on
the television, but good people just trying to teach our kids'
basic stuff and most of the time they do all right.
Sometimes usually when a government gets in the way, student
achievement gets worse. So the big strike is looming. This
is one hundred thousand workers across many different health education
bunch of stuff, and everybody will be going on Instagram
(03:25):
and asking whose side are you on you know who
are you backing? The fact is this mega strike wouldn't
be happening if labor was in government. That's not to
say the union members don't want better pay, nor that
they should be getting it. But let's not get ourselves.
The mega strikes as much about unions hating luxen and
wanting to change the government as it is about paying conditions.
(03:46):
Bryan Bridge five ten on News Talk z B, We'll

Right Joining us this morning is a Matt Tyrold, former
chief of staff for Mica Rubio's twenty sixteen presidential campaign. Met.
Good morning, Good to have you on the show.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Great to be with you, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I know that the photo ops are happening. There's a
lot of grip and grinning going on. But is it
too early to say this is a peace deal?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Well, look, I think this is a piece deal. Obviously
more work needs to be done. But the first step
and getting to this piece deal was getting these hostages home,
and it's great to see that happen here. So this
is a really an amazing thing to watch, the first
step to full peace in the region. Really, in terms
of end of this war as well was getting these
(05:38):
hostages home. Obviously, more work needs to be done, but
you're seeing President Trump already underway. And the bigger element
of this is that this isn't just President Trump doing this. Obviously,
this would not be done, it would not be achieved
without President Trump. But what he's done has been brilliant.
He put together a coalition of Arab and Muslim countries,
for example, to come to the table, put pressure on
(05:59):
Hamas and help me this happen. But ultimately, if it
was about President Trump's leadership, this would not be happening.
Right now. You have a I think a great opportunity
here to the forge lasting piece. But this is a
piece deal. More work needs to be done, but a great
day give theseag is home.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
There is a lot of talk this morning about who's
gets the credit that kind of thing. How's it playing
out in the media in America? Are they, you know,
are those more lift wing outlets happy to say this
is down to Trump and congratulations mister President.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Well, look, you're even seeing Secretary former Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton and former Vice President Kamala Harris praise President
Trump in terms of what he's accomplished here. I think
Republicans and Democrats alike recognize that this was a major challenge.
And look throughout my lifetime, I've never seen peace in
the Middle East, and you're seeing it now today with
(06:50):
the return of these hostages. And what you've seen here
is that this didn't happen overnight. You know, President Trump
has been working on this for months, and even in
his first term with the Abraham Accords, you saw him
making progress and trying to get peace in the Middle East.
But ultimately we saw on his second term here was
him go to the Middle East and meet with leaders
in Saudi Arabia, guitar the UAE. You know, He's had
(07:12):
relationships in the region but also also worldwide, and you're
seeing those leaders today in Egypt shaking hands with the
President Trump, you know, taking pictures with President Trump. This
was a brilliant move by the President. He put together
an effective coalition of world leaders to come together. Par
took me those world leaders in neighboring countries to put
(07:33):
the necessary pressure on Hamas and to help make this
day happen. But it started with President Trump making these
relationships happen. And it comes down in relationships, you know, negotiation,
is about relationships, and President Trump has strong relationships with
these Arab and Muslim world leaders, strong relationships with leaders
around the world. That on top of that, you know
(07:55):
the bombing on Iran, you know that that was instrumental
in helping him get here. So it's been a multipoint
approach by President Trump. The critic goes to hand the
Secretary of Rubio, Steve Wickoff, Jared Kushner of Arka Trump.
But there's so many other people within Prosident Trump's administration
who helped make this happen. It's been a team effort.
But again I go back to only one world leader
might have open. You could a gotten that's done. That
(08:16):
world leader's name is Prosident Donald J. Trump.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Appreciate your time. Matt Matt Terrell, who's former chief staff
to Mark A. Rubio sixteen after five Ryan Bridge Home.
By the way, this is from Grant. I quite like
this one. Grant, So the war is over. It must
have been the priests that chained themselves to Nicholas office. Yeah,
I'm sure they had something to do with it. Grant
food Stuff's North Island is partnered with a packaging company
and this is all about a green and nothing wrong
(08:39):
with them doing this. Okay, you can do what you like.
You're a private business. But this is a returnable deli
containers because they want to get rid of the single
use plastics. So what you do is you buy your
deli goods in a reusable container. You tap your card
or your phone or your wallet or whatever. You tap
that and and then you go away. You each your
(09:02):
deli food, and then within four weeks you have to
come back and give the container back tap your card
and then you don't get charged. If you don't come
back within four weeks, then you are charged three dollars. Now,
what's wrong with the story? Nothing really, except for the
fact that the government is putting in three hundred and
twenty nine thousand dollars to enable this trial. Bring your
(09:26):
own plan if you want to, I don't care like,
bring your own containers. You know, if you want to
be Captain Planet, go right ahead, bring your own containers.
Why do we need government money going into this? I
don't understand it. Seventeen after five Newstalks FB.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
FB five twenty will look at the education results just
before six this morning and find out whether they are
actually meaningful, whether there is too early to say. Right now,
the Aussies are helping push us towards our first pre
COVID tourism summer stats in ZED numbers two hundred and
thirty thousand terurists for August. That's an increase of sixteen
thousand on last year. August was ninety two percent of
(10:11):
pre COVID. Cath O'Brien is Barnes TEEP executive director with
us this morning, Kat, Good morning.
Speaker 6 (10:18):
Good morning Ryan.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
So how confident are you we will hit pre COVID
this summer?
Speaker 7 (10:24):
Well, look, I think we might get close. And it's
been a long time since I've been talking about some
good news, so I'm really pleased to see these August
numbers and I think it's really promising for summer.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Okay, that's good. Are we a little obsessed with the
pre COVID thing. Shouldn't we be ahead of it already?
You know?
Speaker 8 (10:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (10:43):
I mean for sure we were later to open and
I think, you know, it really as a product of
this country being a really long way away from the
rest of the world. And so our connections have taken
longer to restore. But I think, you know, looking ahead
to this summer, over the summer season, airlines are expecting
to see eight point two percent increased capacity against last summer,
(11:03):
so you know, really quite a lot more seats in
the sky, and so the opportunity is there to hit
our pre COVID numbers.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Where is the capacity coming from?
Speaker 6 (11:13):
Yeah, it's a range.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
I mean, you know, we've heard a lot about the
Tasman capacity added by Cornus Group, and that's fantastic with
the jetstile services and the new services to deneed it
into Hamilton. But I would also say there's a range
of other sort of additional growth that's come into New Zealand,
and that comes from a range of destinations. So the
America's you know, Singapore, Hong Kong, you know, all those
(11:38):
markets have grown in terms of airline capacity.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Which is good, which is what we need because if
we rely just on the Aussies or the Aussies to
do the heavy lifting, they don't stay as long and
spend as much here, right, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (11:50):
I mean the Tasman travel always has been a substantial
part of the New Zealand market. So it's really important
and I think, you know, we would welcome any visitor,
would we not, So I think it's great to see
those of these coming. But it's also great to see
the internationals coming over summer. And I really hope this
is meaningful for tourism, isn't of the cross New Zealand
who have been waiting a long time to see this recovery?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Very long time indeed, And as you say, nice to
have some even a glimmer of some good news on
the tourism Frontkah, thank you, it really is. Thank you,
Ryan Keath, Ryan Barnes, Executive director.
Speaker 8 (12:21):
Time.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
It's twenty two minutes after five News talks the b
Ryan back to the bad news because that was all
too positive for a second, wasn't it. So statsn ZI,
this is a number of this is your migration numbers.
I mean it is bad, but it's it's good and bad.
So number of New Zealand citizens leaving long term peaked
at about seven thousand, six hundred in January this year.
(12:44):
Since then it's actually been declining. This is New Zealand
citizens leaving long term. In August it was five six hundred,
so two thousand less okay, lowest number in any month
since November last year. But citizens returning here has also
been in steady decline this throughout this year, from about
(13:07):
twenty four hundred and January to about sixteen hundred in August.
So we have a net loss of about almost four
thousand for August, a net loss of about four thousand
for August, but that net loss is also declining. It
was more than five thousand in January. So overall, yes,
it's bad, but it's getting less bad as we go on,
(13:30):
and we are still in positive territory, of course, once
you add in the new migrants. But it's funny. I'm
going to talk to you about house prices. We've got
an update on that coming for you next. You know,
funny the house prices and migration. We bitch and moan
when they're going up. Oh, it's too expensive for theirstyle,
there's too many migrants. But then when it dries up,
we are equally as depressed. So what do we really want?

This is for the September quarter going backwards and Auckland
leading the fall. Homes are worth an average of one
(15:13):
point one percent less Auckland's two and a half percent
less this is over the quarter, and how does that
make you feel? Really? Most homeowners, of course, won't care
because they're not trying to sell their houses right now.
But for those who aren't depressing, first home buyers love it.
They're cranking at the moment. They're a quarter of new
mortgages first home buyers first half of this year a quarter.
(15:35):
So we've got to ask ourselves, is this really what
we want? When the numbers are bad for owners and
for homeowners, they're good for would be owners. We're forever
complaining about the price of property until we need to
sell it. So if this is the new normal, then
we better get used to it. It's interesting to look
at what is selling as well, because we had another developer,
(15:56):
this is an Auckland apartments. Go bust yesterday and have
a look at the apartments, even the nice ones that
they were building. Is that really somewhere you would want
to live. Guess what's not selling. It's the new builds
without car parks. This idea that somebody will want to
buy a shoe box and catch a bus is clearly
not working out in the way that they intended. They
(16:18):
are taking the longest time to sell turns out people
also like privacy. Who would have thought quite an important factor.
The biggest story here is that prices are lower and
deep down. Even though we say we want to fix
the housing crisis, most people aren't happy about it.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Brian Breadwi.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Twenty eight minutes after five, Katie Perry and Justin Trudeau
are officially a thing. The climate warrior in Tradeau was
seen on board her yacht, presumably after getting off her
private jet, canoodling and kissing. She's split from Orlando Bloom
and they didn't care if they were photographed. This was
(17:04):
all happening in Santa Barbara, California, hardly a discrete location.
He even grabbed her butt with their togs. The photographers
caught that on camera. Two are settled up next to
a whale watching boat and they were kissing and smooching.
I mean, congratulations to them, so long as they're happy.
Twenty nine after five, we'll be in Australia with Donod
de Mayo.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Next The News You Need This Morning and the in
Depth Analysis Early Edition with Ryan Bridge and r V
(17:46):
Supercenter explore r v's accessories and servicing.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
All in one news talks. A'd be.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Twenty four away from the six year on news talks
would be two questions for you, Will Chloe congratulate Trump
for a peace in the mid least Hillary and Carmela
already have?
Speaker 2 (18:02):
The other question is will jan Tonedi congratulate Erica on
these education numbers this morning? If neither of them do,
do they really care about the causes or are they
just playing politics with them? And should they in future
be ignored. We'll talk to a principle on PHONUX before six.
Donna to Mayo with us out of Australia next Bridge
first to have reporters around the country. Callum Proctor and
(18:24):
Denedan Callum, good morning.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Morning.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Right now we've got a people focus from the new
Dunedin mayor. What does that mean?
Speaker 11 (18:34):
Well, this is this Sophie Barker is saying she's looking
to improving council culture with a relatively new lock council
here in Dunedin. Barker confirmed as the new mayor elects
for the city, narrowly of a businessman Andrews Sims. The
previous Muntual's Radick finished fourth in the mayoral race. This
time it retains a seat on council. There are six
(18:55):
new faces. So Sophie Barker says she will look to
improve culture. She describes her leadership style as inclusive and
she wants to bring people together. Meanwhile, Ryan, the Central
Otago District councils addressing public concerns about Vincent Ward councilor
elect Dave McKenzie. It's been made aware of alleged unethical
(19:16):
conduct from McKenzie while he worked as a contractor for
the council. So they're reviewing findings from a previous investigation.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
So interesting, calem. How's your weather our chance.
Speaker 11 (19:26):
Of showers through the day today, Winston Northeast, the High thirteenth.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
All right, thank you, Claires and christ it's clear, good morning,
Good morning. What's going on at the new stadium?
Speaker 12 (19:35):
Yeah, well, the first event at the new stadium has
been revealed this morning, Ryan, and listen. It does involve
the Crusaders, but no, it's not a rugby match. Instead
the full Bally's Full House virtual fundraiser. Well, how to
give people a first look inside the stadium and also
mark the launch of the ticket Master venue map. Tickets
will cost eight dollars fifty then all of the proceeds
(19:57):
will go to a charity called Full Ballet. The christ
Church based organization helps families in need by providing children
with food delivered to schools now venues. Auto Tahie Chief
executive Caroline Harvey Tier says this is a charity that
already partners with the Crusaders. She says, Full Valleys feeds
kids that simply fall through the cracks, which they think
aligns very nicely with venues Auto Tahi.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Oh nice, So no one I'll actually get to go
inside as virtual this thing exactly.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
Yeah, not a look inside.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Just yeskay, all right, how's your weather?
Speaker 12 (20:29):
Mostly cloudy? There is the odd shower about mainly early today,
then cloud breaking up by evening. Southerly's turning northeasterly and
thirteen degrees.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Here's clear. Have good day, Max, and good morning to you.
Speaker 10 (20:40):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Andrew Little's right into it. The Golden Mile review underway.
Speaker 10 (20:44):
Yeah, that's right, a new mayor, let's see if there
are new ideas. Yeah, it is effectively paused. I think
now that would be fair to say the Golden Mile
plan to pedestrianized Courtney Place to Lambton Keino cars just buses.
It was, of course, Tori Fino's flagship project. Bill hasn't
actually started proper. There's preliminary work going on at the
top of Courtney Place, but we're still quite a few
(21:06):
years away from it being finished, let alone starting a
little bit a bit coy about it. What he's implying
is it's just not worth the cost right now, and
it is already being reviewed. All the businesses along that
stretch don't want it. The public is mixed. It means
years of roadworks. An argument that Tory and her officials
made is that scrapping it would be throwing away free money,
(21:27):
that there's already government funding secured. Why waste that? But
little He was in the studio yesterday talking to Nick
Nick Mills. He did talk some sense, pointing out that
the council still needs to pay its share as well.
We need to pay for it as well as the government.
There's no such thing as free money. He also says
he's spoken already to every counselor. He wants them all
on board. No more Crown Observer needed, thank you very much,
(21:47):
No more gossip. He's hiring a new team. It is
now day two.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
No more pendulous brist.
Speaker 10 (21:53):
Exactly how well we'll see about that.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Ray Chang still there, isn't he so sure? Yes?
Speaker 10 (21:59):
Yes, but his enemy number one is gone from council.
The one upside for mister Chunk mostly cloudy today. Southerly's
developing fifteen. The high Central cheers Max morning, never good morning.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
How are we?
Speaker 10 (22:11):
We're good?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Now? There's a e waste concerns this morning because Windows
ten expires today.
Speaker 8 (22:16):
Yes, did you know about that?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I heard of only because I got at home. Honestly,
I wouldn't even know.
Speaker 8 (22:23):
Yeah, I was just trying to figure out what I
want at home. I think I might have updated to Windows.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
What are we up to? Are we up to?
Speaker 8 (22:30):
We're up to eleven?
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Eleven?
Speaker 8 (22:32):
Yeah, you're up to.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
If you're not on eleven and you're on ten today,
it'll stop working.
Speaker 8 (22:36):
It'll stop working. So you know you've got Yeah, and look,
you've your best too. You can just stay on ten
and just have but still obviously pay for that because
it's all about the security and the security that you'll
you get.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
You get hacked, Yeah, you get hacked.
Speaker 8 (22:50):
So you needed that security for up to another year
for ten. But I think most people are kind of
making that little We jumped to eleven. Yeah, So Microsoft
is telling its customers, Update, Update pay, extend the support
for that security for another year. But the Auckland Council
like with all of that, it's doubt was more than
a dozen rubbish truck fires this year caused by discarded
(23:12):
lithium iron batteries. They're saying, look, computers and laptops also
contain these batteries. So with that, you know Windows ten
expiring today, you know, just make sure you just sort
all of this out.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
And it's just that, don't throw it away.
Speaker 10 (23:26):
Don't throw it.
Speaker 8 (23:27):
Away, that's right. Well we can catch fire real.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Fast, yeah they can too.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
House our weather rain, easy to scatter shels in the
afternoon clearing Tonight nineteen is high here in Auckland.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Brilliant think you Neva Great to see you as always.
It is eighteen minutes away from six. On news Talk,
zaid b loads of texts on both housing and immigration, Ryan,
good morning, Good to have you d This is from George.
It's patinally obvious that this country needs large immigration levels
to have a growing economy, and why this isn't being
(23:57):
spelled out by all economic experts is yond me. Are
they afraid of these xenophobic backlash? I think so? Says
Dave Ryan. This is on housing from rob The market
has spoken we do not want apartments with no car parks.
You get the ministers keep trying to ram these, including
Chris Bishop, down our throats. I mean there is truth
(24:18):
in that. If you look at what's not selling, what's
taking the longest to sell, it's apartments that have no
indoor outdoor flow, apartments that are too small and poky,
and apartments that don't have car parks. Seventeen to six.
We're in Australia. Next on News Talk SEB. If you
run a small business, you know how annoying it is
waiting to get paid. You finish a job, you send
an invoice, and then you spend weeks chasing people up
(24:40):
like some sort of debt collector. Well you're not. Zero's
tap to pay power by Stripe changes all of this completely,
changes of the game. Your customer taps their card on
your phone, Boom, You're paid on the spot. No fancy
payment terminal needed, just the zero accounting app. And here's
the really smart bit. Once the payment goes through, the
invoice is automatically marked as paid in zero, ready to
(25:01):
be reconciled. Less admen, less mucking around, less paperwork, more
time running your actual business, the thing you wanted to
be doing in the first place. It's secure an instant.
It keeps your cash flow moving instead of grinding to
a hold every month. Accept payments on the spot as
soon as the job's complete. No more awkward I'll get
that invoice to your kind of conversations. For small businesses,
(25:22):
this could genuinely be a game changer. Less time chasing
late payments, more time focusing on what you do best.
Supercharge your business with zero tap to pay, Getting paid
has got a whole lot easier search, zero tap to pay.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of mind
for New Zealand business.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Education numbers in a second fourteen to six donat a
moment out of Australia done a good morning.
Speaker 9 (25:46):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Quantus customers aren't very happy about this data breach and
now it's on the dark web.
Speaker 9 (25:52):
Yes that's true, So just a little refresher. It was
in July that these cyber criminals treat a Quantus call
center worker in the Philippines into handing over access to
customer information. Now these customers are voicing their concerns because
their personal data has been posted on the dark web
at the weekend. So the cyber crime collective had demanded
a ransom and the deadline passed and Quantus did not pay.
(26:16):
This impacts up to five point seven million Quantus customers.
So now there's a lot of questions being posed, and
one of them is it's unclear at this point if
Quantus will be blamed perhaps for any privacy law breaches
that follow the release of the information on the dark web.
What about will the airline face financial penalties after the
(26:37):
data was stolen? And so some customers now are just
saying that they have you know, one of them said,
I haven't even heard directly from Quantus. There's a lot
of let's just say, a lot of frustrated and anxious
people out there, and we've heard from the cyber experts
out there say just stay vigilant. Not so reassuring.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
I would say, this is the problem. I was talking
about this yesterday. Donna. You can't help but give your
inform away because they require an of you. You've got
no choice, you know, that's absolutely Hey, which were's the
crime capital of Australia? Which state gets the honors?
Speaker 9 (27:09):
Are you intrigued? Well, the latest figures have identified the
car theft capital of Australia and yes it is Victoria.
In the past year there's been a forty one percent
increase in motor vehicle theft and that's the highest recorded
number since two thousand and three. So they've calculated every
forty four minutes or so an insurer is getting a
(27:30):
call about a car theft or attempted break in. In
New South Wales, comparatively, there was an increase of only
six percent. So we've heard from the Crime Statistics Agency
and it shows that over twelve months, six hundred and
thirty eight thousand criminal incidents have occurred and about one
hundred and twenty thousand incidents relate to cars. The state
(27:50):
governments have responded. We've had a comment from the State
of Police are out there every single day addressing this
type of offending.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
That is all I appreciate you had signed Donald tom
out of Australia. It is eleven away from six R
and Bridge, so kids are reading better. This is phonics.
The government's taking credit for it. Structured literacy data for
new entrants year ones meeting or exceeding expectations that went
from thirty six percent in term one not great, to
fifty eight percent in term three, which sounds much better.
(28:20):
Jason Miles's Kipoy North School principal and the vice president
of Principal's Federation Jason, good morning morning, Ryan, So kid,
is that as good? What does that actually mean? That number?
Speaker 6 (28:32):
Well, it is certainly positive news. You know, there's early
signs that data from the Ministry is showing the positive
trends and how our five year olds are developing for
netic awareness, which is teaching sounds or phonemes to letters,
which is a grapme, but it's not necessarily an ability
(28:54):
to read the meaning.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
So what else could we be missing out on if
we're focusing on this at the expense of.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
What No, don't get me wrong, it's very important. It's
essential that children can decode words and this is the
start of the reading journey. So you know, these foundation
skills are essential. But what this isn't giving is a
full picture of a child's ability to read. And at
(29:24):
five year old five years old, this is the most
important aspect.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Right, So for this age group thirty six percent in
term one to fifty eight percent, you'd have to say
they are far better equipped to be able to read
than they were two terms ago.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
Well, so it is a very small data data set
and you know, you've got to look this information in context.
You know, it's a really positive trend that we're seeing,
but as it's a small data set, we want to
see this over time and schools that have been in
the structured literacy space for a long time are aware
(30:05):
of how much this is going to have an impact
on teaching and reading right through New Zealand. But this
is a great, great start.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Okay, how many schools like, where's why is this not
wider data? When do we get wider data?
Speaker 6 (30:21):
Well, the moment the phonics check data, it's voluntary where
the schools put the data into the ministry. Next year
it's going to be compulsory for all schools. So at
that point we'll get a bigger data set and then
we'll be able to look at the progress of children
(30:42):
over time. So this is just looking at different children
at twenty weeks. What we're interested in as educators is
the improvement of children over time. So we'll check twenty weeks,
then we'll check individual data forty weeks and compare.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Okay, appreciate your time Jason Miles, who's a Chiapoy North
School principle. It is eight to six News Talks.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
B, 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 more than one News
Talks FB.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
It is six to sex News Talks BE. Loads of
texts on the principle we just had on the program, Ryan,
could your call it, Jason not be more enthusiastic about
the phonics results for the government, please, Ryan Jeep. It's
hard for them to say, isn't it just congratulate Erica
on the results. I mean, he does have a point.
(31:39):
It's a small sample size, blah blah blah. And he
did say to be fair, and he did say that
it's moving in the right direction. Right. It is five
to two now, Mike's in the studio. Good morning, Mike.
Speaker 5 (31:49):
Well, how can you not search moving in the right direction?
Stats don't lie, do they at the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
But it's a sample sized thing is relevant. It's only
those schools that were you know, volunteered to give them
all of that stuff.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
But if you're going to take a snapshot what I
liked about it was the Q under Q three things.
So we'll turn one to term three thing, which is
comparatively speaking, a fairly short period of time totally. And
so we talked to Erica this morning, and my big
question will be whether this is sort of low hanging
fruits of all the changes that are going on in education.
Is that the sort of thing you'd expect to improve
fairly rapidly if you suddenly introduce something. So I don't
(32:22):
know the answer to.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
The basic thing for that year level. It's the basic
thing for learning how to read? And so how have
you let it be thirty six? So long?
Speaker 5 (32:32):
Very good question because it was asked at the press
conference yesterday, and she referenced Kaiapoi North, which is just
spoke to, yeah, which is a school that she went
to and found some sort of inspiration out there to
go forth in her crusade to change the lives of
young people in this country. So anyway, that's where it
came from. But it's a fair question, isn't it that
you put up with such an extraordinary level of mediocrity
(32:56):
in all areas of education for so many years.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Also that you have the educators and the university education
people who advise on education, advising against phonics because it's bad.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
For These were the people. I mean, this is the
problem with education. It has been for years. I mean
there are still people in education that will tell you
that a barn like environment with some beanbags is the
way to go and it's the.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Future of it.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
And of course obviously we found out it's not so.
For everything wrong for every era, there's a you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
But then the problem is we will listen to them again.
You know this is that is we going cycle difficult? Difficult?
Speaker 5 (33:30):
Where a Matt Payne who won Bathhurist over the weekend
and I know you're not a huge motor sport fan,
but I tell you what it is, without question the
New Zealand sports story of the year and what he did.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Was just you had to see it. Well, no, I
did to buy my dis interest. It was I saw
the highlights and it was it was it was incredibling.
Speaker 5 (33:54):
Anyway, he's getting up early for us in Melbourne. He's
got back home so we can relive it after.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
