The issues, the interviews and the inside Ryan Bridge new

New Zealand's furniture beds and a play at store Neustorgs.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It'd be good morning, Welcome to your Monday is the
sixteenth of September. Sixth after five coming up? Are your
kids about to be taught by a flood of unregistered teachers?
We'll look at that just before six this morning. Detail
on the new flights and the new routes being offered
to you. Why respiratory disease is worse here in New
Zealand than we initially thought. Plus Gavin Gray is in
(00:36):
the UK talking boris the storm that's bearing down not
the form of politician, but the storm that is bearing
down across Europe? And who should pay for a prime
minister's suit The agenda Monday, sixteenth of September. Israel's Prime
Minister says Hooty rebels from Yemen will pay a heavy
price for launching a missile that landed an unoccupied part
(00:58):
of central Israel. It's the first time that a missile
from the group has made it that far into Israel,
landing around two thousand kilometers away from where they fired
it in Yemen. Ohio Senator and Donald Trump's running mate JD.
Varance has doubled down on the viral comments that Haitian
migrants so eating people's pets and animals from parks.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I was told Dana that the American by the American
media that it was baseless that migrants were capturing the
geese from the local park pond and eating them. And
yet there are nine to one to one calls from
well before this ever became a viral sensation of people
complaining about that exact thing happening.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
There are two nine to one one calls. I'll tell
you about them midtle later on in the show. Also
why RFK has now being roped into this with his
own pet scandal. CNN is running a story this morning
implying that those oil protesters who block motorways in the
UK shouldn't be in prison with the anti immigration rioters,
the so called race rioters. Why alls they were doing?
(02:00):
Says the article was standing up for the climate, like
this one hanging a banner over the M twenty five.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Hello, my name is Louise.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
I'm twenty four years old and I'm here.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
I'm here because I don't know the future.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
The law doesn't and shouldn't care what your cause is.
It cares the damage that the cause does, in this case,
disrupting seven hundred thousand motorists, no doubt, including ambulances, economic
damage with one point six million dollars and two point
one million in policing costs. Polarist dawns splash down. The
SpaceX mission has ended safely with all crew home sweet
(02:38):
Home standing by for a splashdown of the Polaristan crew
and there you can.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
See you.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Got it.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
The first word on the News of the Day early
edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture
Beds and a playing store News Talk.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Siddy the numbered de text I'd love to hear from
you this morning. We'll also have a little bit on
Elon Musk, who reckons that we will be on Mars,
staying on Mars for four years at a time within
twenty years. Ambitious. But he's an ambitious guy, isn't he.
Let's talk about this latest open letter to the Prime Minister.
How many another day, another open letter to the Prime Minister. Honestly,
(03:19):
how many of these are we going to get? This
is courtesy of co authored by Dave Cliff, chief Executive
of the Global Road Safety Partnership, and Professor Simon Kingham
of the University of Canterbury. It's basically, from what I
can make out, some academics and then there's a few
consultants on there. Now I'm assuming these consultants are tied
up in reducing or doing the work to reduce our
(03:42):
speed limits under the last government, so they're going to
miss out on a whole bunch of work. What they're
upset about is that we're going to increase some speed limits.
So the government's consulting this on it at the moment
they say, these signatories warn the Prime Minister and the
public that raising speed limits will lead to more fatalities
and severe life altering injuries on New Zealand's roads. Okay,
(04:06):
so increasing the speeds will kill us is the argument here.
They say that also it's going to kill us via
climate change. So higher speeds contribute to increased fuel consumption
and elevated CO two and nitrogen dioxide emissions. So not
only are we killing ourselves on the roads now, we
(04:26):
are killing ourselves for generations to come. So don't increase
the speeds, but also don't build new roads which are
ironically far safer, aren't they. I was driving actually on
the weekend, went up to pie Here, beautiful stretch of road.
Once you get to until you get to I should
say Walkworth. You know, it's like it's like gliding on
(04:49):
one of those escalators at the airport, going along that beautiful,
brand new, pristine motorway and then suddenly whack you hit
Walkworth and it's like clunk, crash, doff. It's like you're
in a sidecar at the speedway wondering how soon until
you die. It's frightening. So anyway you can't do you
(05:09):
can't go faster, and you can't build new roads, so
that you go eleven minutes after five ray and Bridge.
Who needs roads when you've got Jet Star. Jetstar is
coming New Zealand. Direct flights out of New Zealand. You
get yourself a trady gig on the Gold Coast and
(05:31):
fly direct from the tron higher wages over in Australia.
You don't want to stop over in christ Church from Dunedin,
no worries. They're going to take you straight to the
Goldie from Dunedin This is all happening from the middle
of next year, So Hamilton to Gold Coast in Sydney,
d Naedin too. The Gold Coast one hundred and ninety
thousand new seats in the skies thanks to jet Star.
(05:55):
Hamilton reckons it'll be a forty five million dollar boost
to their regional me brilliant. Nothing like a bit of competition.
No one likes fining them because, let's face it, they're
not as good as in New Zealand, but a flight
is a flight and these are cheap too. Hamilton Sydney
hundred and thirty, Hamilton Gold Coast one hundred and thirty nine,
Dneedin Gold Coast one hundred and fifty five. Enjoy Welcome
(06:17):
to your Monday, twelve after five.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with
Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and
a playing store.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
News Talk zaid be quarter past five yews Talk said
be nine two nine two to text Ryan. My daughter
is one of those non registered teachers. Her registration lapsed
when she had her three children. It was going to
cost her thousands to reset the exams. She has been
in huge demand by a private school for two years
and is now one of their top teachers. This is
(06:57):
about unregistered teachers looking after you kids in the classroom.
The government is proposing that we can allow much more
for relief teachers, and the PPTA is unhappy because and
I'm trying to figure out, is it just because they
are as an organization, you know, anti this government, so
(07:17):
they're just upset about everything, or is there a deeper
issue here which we'll look at. Just before six it
is called a part sorry sixteen past five. Now one
in one million New Zealanders are suffering from respiratory disease.
That's far worse than previously thought. This is according to
a new report from the Asthma and Respiratory Foundation, which
found one in five Kiwis are affected. Previously twenty twenty one,
(07:41):
that was one in seven. Bob Hancocks is the Asthma
and Ripchestery Foundation medical director, Professor. He's with us this morning.
Good morning, good morning, How are you good? Thank you Bob.
How did we get something really wrong here or how
did why the big difference?
Speaker 7 (07:57):
I think we've just got better data now, as these
reports have been done in updated several times each time,
we have better data and we get a more accurate
idea of just how many people are suffering from a
respiratory disease. So I think that's why the difference.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
One and five. How do we compare to other similar countries.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
That's a good question. We haven't done a direct comparison.
I suspect we're not. We would be in the leading
leading the pact, but probably may not be much further
ahead compared to countries and Australia and Britain and other
places that we might compare ourselves to because they have
major problems with respiratory disease as well. But at least
with this report, which was like an excellent report from
(08:43):
Lucy Tafa Barnard and James Zang, at least with this report,
we've got a better handle on how much of a
problem we have out there, and then you know, if
we're going to do anything about it. That's really really important.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
What diseases are we talking about, SMER and things like that.
Speaker 7 (08:59):
Well, the report mostly covers asthma, CPD and other disease
of the airways called Bronchie Exorcist, which people may or
may not have heard of. But the big two are asthma,
and COPD. It also looked at pneumonia in children and
as well, because that's also of concern. But there is
(09:19):
some good news in here. The good news is that
with the work of a number of health professionals around
New Zealand and the Foundation, we have managed to improve
some of those statistics. So we haven't reduced a number
of people with asthma, but we've certainly made a big
dent in the number of people who have severe enough
(09:41):
asthma that they need to come to hospital. So the
Foundation set a target a few years ago, trying to
get a twenty five percent reduction in hospitalizations by twenty
twenty five. And we've already hit that tiger for asthma,
and we've already hit that tiger for COPD. So there
is good news in your as well as a wake
up called just how many people are suffering from respiratory disease.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
All right, interesting stuff, Bob, Thank you very much for
your time. We really appreciate it. Bob Hancock's Asthma and
Respiratory Foundation Medical Director professor telling us there that yes,
things have gotten worse because we are perhaps accounting for
them better. One in five, not one in seven, of
us suffer from a respiratory disease, but we are managing
to stay out of hospital. Well more of us managing
(10:27):
to stay out of hospital with those conditions. Just gone
nineteen minutes after five. Coming up next a scammer, a
new one. And normally I wouldn't bother because how many
times can you tell someone that not to be scammed?
You know what I mean? But this is interesting. This
is a new scam that's coming and it doesn't actually
involve you looking at your phone or your computer. Also
(10:48):
over in the UK, big argument about who pays for
the PM's suit, News.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
And views you trust to start your day, It's early
edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City Land's furniture beds
and a flying store.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
News Talk ZBB twenty one after five. News Talk said
b Ryan never had a relief teacher teach me. They
just sit up the front watching the clock telling you
that you need to read a book. I don't think
you need a teaching qualification to do that. This is
about whether you trust a non registered teacher. Well, are
they even a teacher? Then there's a non registered person
(11:24):
being a relief teacher for your kid. Nine two nine
to us the number to text the PPTA is on
just before six. Lots more of this is going to happen.
We'll tell you why very quickly. A scam alert. It's
quite novel. This one so worth a mention. Actually, Andrew
Ordison's in the studio, so Andrew for a sport. But
you should listen up, Andrew. Okay, on all the ears, Ryan,
So an unexpected package arrives not on your phone, not
(11:47):
in your computer, but to your physical address. This is
part one of the scam. There's a QR code inside
of it and it appears to be a gift and
they say scan the QR code. So you scan the
QR code and within a wosh of a second it
has taken your financial information, including your bank account log
and details, all of your personal data, basically everything off
(12:08):
your phone. It's gone at the click of a QR code.
So be careful out there. I guess it's the moral
of the story. Police of warning people in New Zealand
has only happened overseas so far criky. That is scary,
it is.
Speaker 8 (12:23):
I just want to think of our magnificent male woman
at home, Heather, coming to the door with you and then.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Scanning a QR code and everything's out the door. That's
just that's outrageous. Why would you let the scanning of
a QR code? Why would you let so much information out?
You know, like Apple when they make the phones, How
would why why would you allow that to happen?
Speaker 8 (12:45):
And some serious coding.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Serious coding. Hey, let's go to the F one overnight
and Yan.
Speaker 8 (12:52):
Yeah, well overnight to Oscar Piastree has taken that out, Ryan,
and that's I guess the biggest scheme of things here
is that by winning for with Claire and it's the
second Formula One victory, it's one in Hungary as well
this season Max for STARp and the championship leader in
the individual stand driver standings is fifth and Landon Norris
is fourth, but McLaren now overtaking Red Bull in the
(13:14):
constructor standing so they've got twenty point lead. Not much
at this stage, but whether I think, what seven races
to go in the season, but I just think we're
in for a real showdown there, and it's perhaps the
changing of the guard. So that's probably the biggest story
in relation to that. And there's been a massive crash
as well, or at least in the context of the race,
Ferrari's color signs and red Bulls, Sergio Perez just in
(13:38):
second and third and knocking themselves out of contention for
the podium just with a couple of leaps to go.
I think it was under safety, Carl the race finished.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I heard the audio in your news.
Speaker 8 (13:49):
Colorful is the descriptions.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Very colorful them America's cut the Challenger Series. But if
you're going, if you're going at three k what around
I mentioned colorful is expected, it would be stressful.
Speaker 8 (13:58):
Yeah, yeah, now yeah, America's Cup.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Now that's taken another turn. It's fairly straightforward.
Speaker 8 (14:04):
Both of the semi final Challenges Series races or duels
at the moment are on match point. So what's got
in Your Britannia. They've defeated a Lingy by two minutes,
twenty seconds and forty eight, so they're up four nil
as Luna ross who's beaten American Magic by twenty six
and two seconds respectively. So it's looking like it'll be
(14:26):
a showdown between Luna Rossa and In Your Britannia at
this stage anyway, to see who's going to race against
defender Team New Zealand. But as we know in America's Cup.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Things can change.
Speaker 8 (14:38):
As we saw in twenty thirteen, it's not over till
it's over.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
The Black Ferns won the Hug, but lost them at
the game.
Speaker 8 (14:46):
Yeah, I think one hearts and minds is there how
we describe it these days?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I think so.
Speaker 8 (14:51):
But did lose taking them up against fairy, formidable opposition
in England's I think that's seventeen wins in a row
now for the English side. Last time I lost was
a Eden Park in that World Cup final in twenty
twenty two. But now they go on to the WXV
Tilament in Canada. The Black Ferns, but you're putting up
a decent show in but England just too strong. I
(15:11):
mean I did have I think it was fifty seven
percent of possession the Black Ferns, so the opportunities were there,
but couldn't counter against England defense.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Not quite enough. Andrew, thank you for that scams exactly,
the careful opening that mailbox. Twenty six after five News
Talks have been the early.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Talks at me Over in the UK, Labour's leader was
using donations private donations to pay for his wife's wardrobe.
All of this has come out overnight, personal shoppers, clothes alterations.
This for campaign events and after the campaign as wellcare
Starmer's wife Victoria was dressed to the nines apparently wasn't
(15:53):
declared as a donation, wasn't declared, has now been declared
as a donation. This is from labor in a. Wahid
Ali and David Lamy, the Foreign Secretary, has been willed
out to explain it.
Speaker 9 (16:06):
In our country, there isn't a budget for the prime
minister's clothes or his wife's clothes. In some countries there's
a substantial budget. I've just come back from America, where
there is a substantial budget to ensure that the US
President and the first Lady their appearance can never be challenged.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I think we should publicly fund our leader's wardrobes. I'm
just going to put it out there. I think we should.
It's important how we look on the world stage. If
you're going to in the world of geopolitics and diplomacy,
you need to look good, you need to look sharp,
and you need to look smart. You know, we don't
want to be looking like some crackpot banana republic in
(16:45):
a mumu do we when we go into these events.
I think we should be publicly funded. And the rules
at the moment aren't really clear on whether you are
allowed to use your allowance for clothing or not. This
is the politicians allowances. So I'll tell you what the
rule's say in just a couple of minutes. But I think,
just as a they're representing us, we need to look good.
(17:11):
I'm not against publicly funding their wardrobes. Twenty nine after five.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Ryan Bridge New for twenty twenty four on early edition
with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture Beds and a playing store.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
News Talk Sibby, good morning, Welcome to your Monday. It
is the sixth thenth to September, twenty four minutes away
from sixth grade. To have your company. The Federal Reserve
(17:48):
in the US I think will go half instead of
a quarter percent cut when they look at this on
Thursday our time. Currently the ranges five point two five
percent to five point five percent. The highest it's two
thousand and one. They are at no real risk of
recession in my opinion anyway. So we'll find out that
this week. There's just one prediction for you. I'll have
(18:08):
one on the rugby before six o'clock as well, not
that you should trust it. Hey, lots of feedback on
Jetstar which is going to do flights from Nadin straight
to the Gold Coast and Sydney and from Hamilton to
the Gold Coast. Good morning, Ryan, good luck to Jetstar
for coming to Hamilton. But this has been tried on
several occasions, starting with Kiwi Era in nineteen ninety five,
(18:30):
and it just gets pushed out by big old Air
New Zealand. Also, Jetstar doesn't have a great history here,
do they, says David and Cambridge. David, thanks to your
message on whether we should fund our politicians' outfits their wardrobes.
Big hooh over in the UK about this, Jimmy says.
The Prime Minister can cover his own ugly body. Thank
(18:51):
you very much, fits sassy Jimmy for a Monday morning,
Ryan Bridge. We're going to our reporters around the country.
Our international flights making a long awaited return to Dunedin
Airport and Cullum has the latest for us there, Cullum,
great news for Dunedin. Yeah it is Ryan. It's been
(19:11):
a four year long wait.
Speaker 10 (19:12):
Of course, flights between the Dunedin and Australia halted due
to COVID, but they will be back as of June
next year direct flights from Dunedin to the Gold Coast.
This is part of a major New Zealand expansion by Jetstar.
As you just mentioned, the airline will operate three flights
in and out of Danneda each week to the Gold
Coast Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, and it's also launched those
(19:34):
routes to Sydney and the Gold Coast out of Hamilton.
Our Daneedan Airport's CEO, Daniel de Bono says the announcements
the result of five years of hard work behind the scenes.
Amya Jills Raddick says this will be a big boost
for businesses, tourism and families. The first flights go on
sale at midday. Fantastic. How's your weather today, Cullum, we'll
hit those snow warnings are about to be lifted. Rain
(19:55):
this morning and evening, fine spells in between and southeasterly.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Is the high eleven today, Thanks Helen. Great time to
be going to the Gold Coast. I would have thought
clears in christ Church for us this morning. Claire Schubert.
Hey Claire, good morning to tell us there Sole and
District Council adopting strategies to support its youth and aging populations.
Speaker 11 (20:13):
Yes, both ends of the scale there, Ryan So Tephipeye
Aging Well is focused on residents over sixty five in Selwyn,
while Picky Armor Kura is aimed to empower young people.
The Mayor there, Sam Broughton, says it's vital they have
a vision and a plan for each of those group's needs.
A third of Salwyn's population is under twenty four, while
it's also projected to be the fasting fastest aging district
(20:37):
in thirty years now. Broughton says the council will be
the coordinator of each strategy and work with other agencies
to ensure the services and funding is available.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
So lots of old people, lots of young people. All sandwich,
no filling, Clai. How's you weather today.
Speaker 11 (20:53):
Cloudy with fine spells increasing this morning southwest of these
easing the high as twelve.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Thank you, Max Tolsnwelling and good ams. Great news for
your rights forecast. Good morning.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
Yeah yeah. The typical rates bill expected to increase by
about three thousand dollars by twenty twenty eight. That would
essentially be about fifty percent higher than what Wellingtonians are
paying right now, so a pretty gloomy outlook. The latest
increase was about twenty one percent, give or take this.
A new council projection takes into account water and leaky pipes,
(21:27):
of course, also helping pay for a facility to process
waste water. The mayor has commented on it, points to
historic under investment in cycle way and again defending cycle ways,
pointing out they cost sorry under investment in infrastructure, again
defending cycle ways, pointing out cycle ways cost about two
(21:48):
percent of all councils spending year by year.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Goodness mat right with it today?
Speaker 5 (21:54):
Periods of rain possibly heavy twelve the high Central excellent.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Thank you. That is a lot of money, isn't it.
Neva's an Auckland for us this morning. Good morning, Neva,
good morning.
Speaker 12 (22:03):
I was just listening to your conversation about whether we
should pay for and I think we should.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
I think so too.
Speaker 13 (22:10):
He should give a stylist, at least.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Do you think he needs one?
Speaker 12 (22:14):
Saying well, I mean I think so, just to say, hey, look,
you know purple is not your color but yellowish?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah, right, nothing too.
Speaker 13 (22:21):
Tight around the middle. But what about this kind of February.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Yeah, it's interesting because over in the UK they obviously
have donors who are paying for it. That's the news
this morning. In America, it's self funded. Most of these
guys are rich any way out. Oh yeah, okay, But
I just think if you're going to put yourself out
there on the world stage, you should make sure that
you that you do look good.
Speaker 13 (22:42):
And we want them to look good, don't we.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (22:44):
I mean when you were on TV, did you have
a clothing.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I had a clothing allowance. Yes, but actually the girls
got more than the boys. Really, But to be fair,
guys mostly just wear suits. You know, you could wear
the same sit were.
Speaker 12 (22:56):
You about to choose or did you have someone say, hey, Ryan,
green is in your color?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
They had a stylist who you could go shopping with. Yes,
and so Sarah, she was fantastic. But yeah, the girl's
got more money. Always used to think it was unfair
because the girls got the same or they got more
grooming allowance. But I've got this you know, this beer
that I needed to get shaved all the time, which
is quite pricey to get done.
Speaker 13 (23:17):
And then you're here and you've got quite thick here
as well.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Exactly.
Speaker 12 (23:21):
No, I think that's yeah. They should have given you
the same same amount exactly.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Otherwise it's sexist.
Speaker 12 (23:27):
Yes, it is quite right anyway, good way to start
the morning.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Hey, cell phone's the band?
Speaker 12 (23:33):
Yes, Now look this Auckland School says banning cell phones
has brought positive changes. I love this, including a rugby
ball going through a window for the first time in
years now. This is Mount Albert Grammar School. They ban
cell phones during school hours. This is at the start
of last year and as we know, the government required
all schools to be in cell phone used during school time.
This tomb too, so the headmaster, Patrick Drum says break
(23:55):
times are now noisy, they're active, they're filled with sports
games again and they're really really happy. And we were
sitting there in the newsroom were saying, isn't it amazing that,
you know, the smash of a ball going through so
you know, through a window at school you'd usually go
oh no, but we're going yay because it's great having
going back to the olden days.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
That's fantastic news. Neva House. The weather today, rain, heavy.
Speaker 12 (24:17):
Falls, thunderstorms possible from the afternoon easing though this evening
and sixteen is the high here in Auckland.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Thanks Neva seventeen to six our UK correspondent. Next, because
I know you just can't get enough of me, I
want to tell you about an exciting new project that

managers and financial experts for a look at the week's
(24:43):

you will know, with the global economy and transition. Inflation
is on the decline in many countries, but volatility remains.
So why is this happening, what can be done about
it and where are things heading. We'll look at the data,
work out what we can learn from market history, and
ask the hard questions. This is your go to for

Eight people have died. This is another boating tragedy on
the Channel.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
Here is at the scene in northern France. Six taken
the hospital, including a baby with hypothermia. Rescue services alerted
at one am local time to the waters north of
Boulogne Soo Mayre. It was a rubber vessel packed with
sixty people on board. Countries that came from ranging from Eritrea, Sudan,
Syria and Iran. And all this less than a fortnight
(26:00):
after twelve people, including six children, had died when a
boat carrying dozens of migrants sank, in the deadliest loss
of life in the Channel this year. This has been
a busy weekend. On Saturday, eight hundred people across the Channel,
the second highest daily total made so far this year.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Also just from storm Boris a.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
Really dreadful and continental Europe. At least seven people have died,
many others are missing after widespread flooding across eastern and
central Europe. More rainfall expected in the coming days. Surging
river levels really really causing problems for authorities. Tens of
thousands of homes have been damaged so far in Romania
where five died. In the Czech Republic thousands have been evacuated.
(26:43):
And on Sunday one person who's found to have dowed
in southwest Poland that was a firefight of tackling flooding
as well in Austria also died. I'm afraid some amazing statistics.
Four hundred and fifty millimeters of rain has fallen since
Wednesday evening this.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Way, thank you so much for that, Gavin Gray are
UK europe correspondent to go one twelve minutes away from
six Bridge. The Post Primary Teachers Association the PPTA says
the government's plan to plug the teacher shortage with unregistered
relievers will short change thousands of young students. On Friday,
the government announced a series of short term actions to
(27:21):
utilize relief teachers to ease the pressure on schools. The
Teaching Council will loosen eligibility criteria for limited authorities to
teach or lats to allow previously registered teachers to receive
a LAT. Chris Abercrombie is the PPTA president. He's with
us this morning. Chris, good morning, good morning, Thanks for
being with me. What's what's wrong with this?
Speaker 14 (27:45):
Well, it's just as a short term, knee jerk reaction
to this issue instead of thinking about how can we
solve this issue. We've been asking the government for governments
for many years to deal with the issue. It's just
knee short term reaction.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
We'll talk about that because there is a whole section
in the minister's letter about long term. But this is
short term and you're saying they're being short changed. Can
you tell us exactly what. So we'll have a relief teacher.
Normal teacher goes down sec or on a training day
or whatever, relief teacher comes in. Who is that relief teacher?
Not registered?
Speaker 14 (28:20):
Yeah, so they won't be a registered teacher. That won't
one not be a qualified teacher. They will literally potentially
just be a warm body in the room.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Okay. Is that that big of a deal if the teachers,
I mean, how often are the teachers sick?
Speaker 14 (28:34):
Well, we know it's the big issue at the moment.
We know the schools all around this country that are
Rosterrian students home every single day, and we know that
principles are dount and has continual use of relievers, continual
disruptions like this is having a real impact on schools
and kids enjoy them in a school.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Yeah, but you've got to have someone in front of
them in class, don't you so better a warm body
than nobody.
Speaker 14 (28:56):
Well, absolutely, you've got to have somebody in it. But again,
this is a knee reaction to an issue that has
existed for years and that we have been constantly trying
to push the government to solve. One of the other
ways that you do that is pain relievers more. That
is one of the issues, and so we've we've been
constantly trying to get increases in the will never pay.
We've got some of the US clip around when there's
(29:19):
one one way to deal with us.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
They're looking at practicing certificates, they're looking at the number
or the maximum number of half days that can be done.
There is longer term stuff there, but as a as
an immediate you know, if things are as bad as
you say they are, Chris, surely you would be celebrating
the fact that there would be more available warm bodies
to look after kids.
Speaker 14 (29:42):
Well, this is this, You just nailed it. Looking after kids,
not teaching kids, not educating kids, not helping them, they're
just looking after them. And you know that's these kids
deserve more.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Yeah, but if it's I mean, how often are teachers sick?
Speaker 14 (29:57):
Well, as I say, there's a huge issue with teachers.
It's called hiven and Ross's teacher's home for a student's
home because of teacher illness PLD. We've got significant criquet
human cess, the change coming up. These are all things
impacting on the ability of teachers to be in the classroom.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Yeah, but I still understand if the teachers are going
home sick or with personal development or whatever it is,
and you're having to send students home because there's no teacher,
wouldn't you prefer that there was someone there?
Speaker 14 (30:26):
Wells better there's someone there. But the issue is that
these young people deserve a teacher in front of them,
not just a person. And that's that's our belief. We've
always had. That belief is that that's the best thing
for our young people is a qualified red as a
teacher in front of them. And that's what we want,
that's what our parents expect, that's what our communities expect.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
All right, Chris, thank you very much for your time
this morning. Appreciate it. Chris Abercrombie PPTA president.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Ryan Bridge.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Lots to say back on Jetstar announcing they're going to
be flying out of Hamilton and Dunedin. I don't know
how many customers they're going to get based on the
tenor of the text that we're getting. Also, did you
see yesterday do we celebrate the government getting it supposedly
getting crime down in Auckland CBD twenty two percent reduction
(31:19):
and serious assaults eighteen percent reduction in serious assaults resulting
in injury. Alton Council sees a thirty five percent reduction
in crime. I don't think I buy it. I'm going
to wait till the real stats come out from Ginny Anderson.
Speaker 12 (31:35):
Missingly agree sebar.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
The news you need this morning and the in depth
analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Swifth City, New
Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
News Talk said be five to six. News Talk said
be Ryan, I'd prefer that there was somebody in class
with my kid rather than having to send them home.
This is about relief teachers and whether they should be
reested or not. Also, over in the US, Overnight, jd
Vance has shared a new video alleging purporting to show
cats on the barbecue.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
Yo, what is this they got on the grill?
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Cat right there? Missing man?
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Look like it's Homi's on a grill.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
Man.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
I don't know if it was a cat or a check.
And there's people are saying it's clearly checking Mike as well.
That's in the studio. Good morning, Mike, good to see you.
Speaker 15 (32:34):
Evse, we're going to talk about this morning.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
You haven't got away.
Speaker 15 (32:37):
I know you're your Bentley downstairs?
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Yes?
Speaker 15 (32:40):
How long have you had that? You? Did you enjoy it?
Speaker 2 (32:43):
That's not my Bentley, was it not?
Speaker 15 (32:46):
There's a lot of nice don't be embarrassed about having
a lovely car, Ryan, No, No, every morning it's two tone.
It's a beautiful two tone Bentley with contrasting leather interior.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
I do wonder who owns those cars downstairs? Anyway, I
assume any nice card and there must be yours. But
I'm here before you.
Speaker 15 (33:01):
Would you buy a car? I read the other day.
I read the other day there was a car for
seventy six thousand dollars normally new right and ev and
they were doing a deal at forty three. So say
you say you're on say you're on the on the
fence for an EV, right, so seventy six bit expensive.
You don't want to spend seventy six. Suddenly they go,
I can do it.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
No, I would would do it. You wouldn't because the
charging stations also, I don't want to hang around and
wait while it charges.
Speaker 14 (33:26):
Just not.
Speaker 15 (33:26):
That's and that's the point they're making. Even at those
sort of prices, they can't ship them. So the country's
full of EV's they can't sell. So we'll look at that.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
This one, nice one. Mike's with you next. Thanks for
all of your texts and messages today cent tomorrow.

It'd be good morning, Welcome to your Monday is the
sixteenth of September. Sixth after five coming up? Are your
kids about to be taught by a flood of unregistered teachers?
We'll look at that just before six this morning. Detail
on the new flights and the new routes being offered
to you. Why respiratory disease is worse here in New
Zealand than we initially thought. Plus Gavin Gray is in
(00:36):
the UK talking boris the storm that's bearing down not
the form of politician, but the storm that is bearing
down across Europe? And who should pay for a prime
minister's suit The agenda Monday, sixteenth of September. Israel's Prime
Minister says Hooty rebels from Yemen will pay a heavy
price for launching a missile that landed an unoccupied part
(00:58):
of central Israel. It's the first time that a missile
from the group has made it that far into Israel,
landing around two thousand kilometers away from where they fired
it in Yemen. Ohio Senator and Donald Trump's running mate JD.
Varance has doubled down on the viral comments that Haitian
migrants so eating people's pets and animals from parks.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I was told Dana that the American by the American
media that it was baseless that migrants were capturing the
geese from the local park pond and eating them. And
yet there are nine to one to one calls from
well before this ever became a viral sensation of people
complaining about that exact thing happening.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
There are two nine to one one calls. I'll tell
you about them midtle later on in the show. Also
why RFK has now being roped into this with his
own pet scandal. CNN is running a story this morning
implying that those oil protesters who block motorways in the
UK shouldn't be in prison with the anti immigration rioters,
the so called race rioters. Why alls they were doing?
(02:00):
Says the article was standing up for the climate, like
this one hanging a banner over the M twenty five.

Hello, my name is Louise.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
I'm twenty four years old and I'm here.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
I'm here because I don't know the future.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
The law doesn't and shouldn't care what your cause is.
It cares the damage that the cause does, in this case,
disrupting seven hundred thousand motorists, no doubt, including ambulances, economic
damage with one point six million dollars and two point
one million in policing costs. Polarist dawns splash down. The
SpaceX mission has ended safely with all crew home sweet

The first word on the News of the Day early
edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture
Beds and a playing store News Talk.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Siddy the numbered de text I'd love to hear from
you this morning. We'll also have a little bit on
Elon Musk, who reckons that we will be on Mars,
staying on Mars for four years at a time within
twenty years. Ambitious. But he's an ambitious guy, isn't he.
Let's talk about this latest open letter to the Prime Minister.
How many another day, another open letter to the Prime Minister. Honestly,
(03:19):
how many of these are we going to get? This
is courtesy of co authored by Dave Cliff, chief Executive
of the Global Road Safety Partnership, and Professor Simon Kingham
of the University of Canterbury. It's basically, from what I
can make out, some academics and then there's a few
consultants on there. Now I'm assuming these consultants are tied
up in reducing or doing the work to reduce our
(03:42):
speed limits under the last government, so they're going to
miss out on a whole bunch of work. What they're
upset about is that we're going to increase some speed limits.
So the government's consulting this on it at the moment
they say, these signatories warn the Prime Minister and the
public that raising speed limits will lead to more fatalities
and severe life altering injuries on New Zealand's roads. Okay,
(04:06):
so increasing the speeds will kill us is the argument here.
They say that also it's going to kill us via
climate change. So higher speeds contribute to increased fuel consumption
and elevated CO two and nitrogen dioxide emissions. So not
only are we killing ourselves on the roads now, we
(04:26):
are killing ourselves for generations to come. So don't increase
the speeds, but also don't build new roads which are
ironically far safer, aren't they. I was driving actually on
the weekend, went up to pie Here, beautiful stretch of road.
Once you get to until you get to I should
say Walkworth. You know, it's like it's like gliding on
(04:49):
one of those escalators at the airport, going along that beautiful,
brand new, pristine motorway and then suddenly whack you hit
Walkworth and it's like clunk, crash, doff. It's like you're
in a sidecar at the speedway wondering how soon until
you die. It's frightening. So anyway you can't do you
(05:09):
can't go faster, and you can't build new roads, so
that you go eleven minutes after five ray and Bridge.
Who needs roads when you've got Jet Star. Jetstar is
coming New Zealand. Direct flights out of New Zealand. You
get yourself a trady gig on the Gold Coast and
(05:31):
fly direct from the tron higher wages over in Australia.
You don't want to stop over in christ Church from Dunedin,
no worries. They're going to take you straight to the
Goldie from Dunedin This is all happening from the middle
of next year, So Hamilton to Gold Coast in Sydney,
d Naedin too. The Gold Coast one hundred and ninety
thousand new seats in the skies thanks to jet Star.
(05:55):
Hamilton reckons it'll be a forty five million dollar boost
to their regional me brilliant. Nothing like a bit of competition.
No one likes fining them because, let's face it, they're
not as good as in New Zealand, but a flight
is a flight and these are cheap too. Hamilton Sydney
hundred and thirty, Hamilton Gold Coast one hundred and thirty nine,
Dneedin Gold Coast one hundred and fifty five. Enjoy Welcome
(06:17):
to your Monday, twelve after five.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with
Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and
a playing store.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
News Talk zaid be quarter past five yews Talk said
be nine two nine two to text Ryan. My daughter
is one of those non registered teachers. Her registration lapsed
when she had her three children. It was going to
cost her thousands to reset the exams. She has been
in huge demand by a private school for two years
and is now one of their top teachers. This is
(06:57):
about unregistered teachers looking after you kids in the classroom.
The government is proposing that we can allow much more
for relief teachers, and the PPTA is unhappy because and
I'm trying to figure out, is it just because they
are as an organization, you know, anti this government, so
(07:17):
they're just upset about everything, or is there a deeper
issue here which we'll look at. Just before six it
is called a part sorry sixteen past five. Now one
in one million New Zealanders are suffering from respiratory disease.
That's far worse than previously thought. This is according to
a new report from the Asthma and Respiratory Foundation, which
found one in five Kiwis are affected. Previously twenty twenty one,
(07:41):
that was one in seven. Bob Hancocks is the Asthma
and Ripchestery Foundation medical director, Professor. He's with us this morning.
Good morning, good morning, How are you good? Thank you Bob.
How did we get something really wrong here or how
did why the big difference?
Speaker 7 (07:57):
I think we've just got better data now, as these
reports have been done in updated several times each time,
we have better data and we get a more accurate
idea of just how many people are suffering from a
respiratory disease. So I think that's why the difference.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
One and five. How do we compare to other similar countries.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
That's a good question. We haven't done a direct comparison.
I suspect we're not. We would be in the leading
leading the pact, but probably may not be much further
ahead compared to countries and Australia and Britain and other
places that we might compare ourselves to because they have
major problems with respiratory disease as well. But at least
with this report, which was like an excellent report from
(08:43):
Lucy Tafa Barnard and James Zang, at least with this report,
we've got a better handle on how much of a
problem we have out there, and then you know, if
we're going to do anything about it. That's really really important.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
What diseases are we talking about, SMER and things like that.
Speaker 7 (08:59):
Well, the report mostly covers asthma, CPD and other disease
of the airways called Bronchie Exorcist, which people may or
may not have heard of. But the big two are asthma,
and COPD. It also looked at pneumonia in children and
as well, because that's also of concern. But there is
(09:19):
some good news in here. The good news is that
with the work of a number of health professionals around
New Zealand and the Foundation, we have managed to improve
some of those statistics. So we haven't reduced a number
of people with asthma, but we've certainly made a big
dent in the number of people who have severe enough
(09:41):
asthma that they need to come to hospital. So the
Foundation set a target a few years ago, trying to
get a twenty five percent reduction in hospitalizations by twenty
twenty five. And we've already hit that tiger for asthma,
and we've already hit that tiger for COPD. So there
is good news in your as well as a wake
up called just how many people are suffering from respiratory disease.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
All right, interesting stuff, Bob, Thank you very much for
your time. We really appreciate it. Bob Hancock's Asthma and
Respiratory Foundation Medical Director professor telling us there that yes,
things have gotten worse because we are perhaps accounting for
them better. One in five, not one in seven, of
us suffer from a respiratory disease, but we are managing
to stay out of hospital. Well more of us managing
(10:27):
to stay out of hospital with those conditions. Just gone
nineteen minutes after five. Coming up next a scammer, a
new one. And normally I wouldn't bother because how many
times can you tell someone that not to be scammed?
You know what I mean? But this is interesting. This
is a new scam that's coming and it doesn't actually
involve you looking at your phone or your computer. Also
(10:48):
over in the UK, big argument about who pays for
the PM's suit, News.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
And views you trust to start your day, It's early
edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City Land's furniture beds
and a flying store.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
News Talk ZBB twenty one after five. News Talk said
b Ryan never had a relief teacher teach me. They
just sit up the front watching the clock telling you
that you need to read a book. I don't think
you need a teaching qualification to do that. This is
about whether you trust a non registered teacher. Well, are
they even a teacher? Then there's a non registered person
(11:24):
being a relief teacher for your kid. Nine two nine
to us the number to text the PPTA is on
just before six. Lots more of this is going to happen.
We'll tell you why very quickly. A scam alert. It's
quite novel. This one so worth a mention. Actually, Andrew
Ordison's in the studio, so Andrew for a sport. But
you should listen up, Andrew. Okay, on all the ears, Ryan,
So an unexpected package arrives not on your phone, not
(11:47):
in your computer, but to your physical address. This is
part one of the scam. There's a QR code inside
of it and it appears to be a gift and
they say scan the QR code. So you scan the
QR code and within a wosh of a second it
has taken your financial information, including your bank account log
and details, all of your personal data, basically everything off
(12:08):
your phone. It's gone at the click of a QR code.
So be careful out there. I guess it's the moral
of the story. Police of warning people in New Zealand
has only happened overseas so far criky. That is scary,
it is.
Speaker 8 (12:23):
I just want to think of our magnificent male woman
at home, Heather, coming to the door with you and then.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Scanning a QR code and everything's out the door. That's
just that's outrageous. Why would you let the scanning of
a QR code? Why would you let so much information out?
You know, like Apple when they make the phones, How
would why why would you allow that to happen?
Speaker 8 (12:45):
And some serious coding.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Serious coding. Hey, let's go to the F one overnight
and Yan.
Speaker 8 (12:52):
Yeah, well overnight to Oscar Piastree has taken that out, Ryan,
and that's I guess the biggest scheme of things here
is that by winning for with Claire and it's the
second Formula One victory, it's one in Hungary as well
this season Max for STARp and the championship leader in
the individual stand driver standings is fifth and Landon Norris
is fourth, but McLaren now overtaking Red Bull in the
(13:14):
constructor standing so they've got twenty point lead. Not much
at this stage, but whether I think, what seven races
to go in the season, but I just think we're
in for a real showdown there, and it's perhaps the
changing of the guard. So that's probably the biggest story
in relation to that. And there's been a massive crash
as well, or at least in the context of the race,
Ferrari's color signs and red Bulls, Sergio Perez just in
(13:38):
second and third and knocking themselves out of contention for
the podium just with a couple of leaps to go.
I think it was under safety, Carl the race finished.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I heard the audio in your news.
Speaker 8 (13:49):
Colorful is the descriptions.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Very colorful them America's cut the Challenger Series. But if
you're going, if you're going at three k what around
I mentioned colorful is expected, it would be stressful.
Speaker 8 (13:58):
Yeah, yeah, now yeah, America's Cup.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Now that's taken another turn. It's fairly straightforward.
Speaker 8 (14:04):
Both of the semi final Challenges Series races or duels
at the moment are on match point. So what's got
in Your Britannia. They've defeated a Lingy by two minutes,
twenty seconds and forty eight, so they're up four nil
as Luna ross who's beaten American Magic by twenty six
and two seconds respectively. So it's looking like it'll be
(14:26):
a showdown between Luna Rossa and In Your Britannia at
this stage anyway, to see who's going to race against
defender Team New Zealand. But as we know in America's Cup.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Things can change.
Speaker 8 (14:38):
As we saw in twenty thirteen, it's not over till
it's over.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
The Black Ferns won the Hug, but lost them at
the game.
Speaker 8 (14:46):
Yeah, I think one hearts and minds is there how
we describe it these days?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I think so.
Speaker 8 (14:51):
But did lose taking them up against fairy, formidable opposition
in England's I think that's seventeen wins in a row
now for the English side. Last time I lost was
a Eden Park in that World Cup final in twenty
twenty two. But now they go on to the WXV
Tilament in Canada. The Black Ferns, but you're putting up
a decent show in but England just too strong. I
(15:11):
mean I did have I think it was fifty seven
percent of possession the Black Ferns, so the opportunities were there,
but couldn't counter against England defense.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Not quite enough. Andrew, thank you for that scams exactly,
the careful opening that mailbox. Twenty six after five News
Talks have been the early.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Talks at me Over in the UK, Labour's leader was
using donations private donations to pay for his wife's wardrobe.
All of this has come out overnight, personal shoppers, clothes alterations.
This for campaign events and after the campaign as wellcare
Starmer's wife Victoria was dressed to the nines apparently wasn't
(15:53):
declared as a donation, wasn't declared, has now been declared
as a donation. This is from labor in a. Wahid
Ali and David Lamy, the Foreign Secretary, has been willed
out to explain it.
Speaker 9 (16:06):
In our country, there isn't a budget for the prime
minister's clothes or his wife's clothes. In some countries there's
a substantial budget. I've just come back from America, where
there is a substantial budget to ensure that the US
President and the first Lady their appearance can never be challenged.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I think we should publicly fund our leader's wardrobes. I'm
just going to put it out there. I think we should.
It's important how we look on the world stage. If
you're going to in the world of geopolitics and diplomacy,
you need to look good, you need to look sharp,
and you need to look smart. You know, we don't
want to be looking like some crackpot banana republic in
(16:45):
a mumu do we when we go into these events.
I think we should be publicly funded. And the rules
at the moment aren't really clear on whether you are
allowed to use your allowance for clothing or not. This
is the politicians allowances. So I'll tell you what the
rule's say in just a couple of minutes. But I think,
just as a they're representing us, we need to look good.
(17:11):
I'm not against publicly funding their wardrobes. Twenty nine after five.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
News Talk Sibby, good morning, Welcome to your Monday. It
is the sixth thenth to September, twenty four minutes away
from sixth grade. To have your company. The Federal Reserve
(17:48):
in the US I think will go half instead of
a quarter percent cut when they look at this on
Thursday our time. Currently the ranges five point two five
percent to five point five percent. The highest it's two
thousand and one. They are at no real risk of
recession in my opinion anyway. So we'll find out that
this week. There's just one prediction for you. I'll have
(18:08):
one on the rugby before six o'clock as well, not
that you should trust it. Hey, lots of feedback on
Jetstar which is going to do flights from Nadin straight
to the Gold Coast and Sydney and from Hamilton to
the Gold Coast. Good morning, Ryan, good luck to Jetstar
for coming to Hamilton. But this has been tried on
several occasions, starting with Kiwi Era in nineteen ninety five,
(18:30):
and it just gets pushed out by big old Air
New Zealand. Also, Jetstar doesn't have a great history here,
do they, says David and Cambridge. David, thanks to your
message on whether we should fund our politicians' outfits their wardrobes.
Big hooh over in the UK about this, Jimmy says.
The Prime Minister can cover his own ugly body. Thank
(18:51):
you very much, fits sassy Jimmy for a Monday morning,
Ryan Bridge. We're going to our reporters around the country.
Our international flights making a long awaited return to Dunedin
Airport and Cullum has the latest for us there, Cullum,
great news for Dunedin. Yeah it is Ryan. It's been
(19:11):
a four year long wait.
Speaker 10 (19:12):
Of course, flights between the Dunedin and Australia halted due
to COVID, but they will be back as of June
next year direct flights from Dunedin to the Gold Coast.
This is part of a major New Zealand expansion by Jetstar.
As you just mentioned, the airline will operate three flights
in and out of Danneda each week to the Gold
Coast Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, and it's also launched those
(19:34):
routes to Sydney and the Gold Coast out of Hamilton.
Our Daneedan Airport's CEO, Daniel de Bono says the announcements
the result of five years of hard work behind the scenes.
Amya Jills Raddick says this will be a big boost
for businesses, tourism and families. The first flights go on
sale at midday. Fantastic. How's your weather today, Cullum, we'll
hit those snow warnings are about to be lifted. Rain
(19:55):
this morning and evening, fine spells in between and southeasterly.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Is the high eleven today, Thanks Helen. Great time to
be going to the Gold Coast. I would have thought
clears in christ Church for us this morning. Claire Schubert.
Hey Claire, good morning to tell us there Sole and
District Council adopting strategies to support its youth and aging populations.
Speaker 11 (20:13):
Yes, both ends of the scale there, Ryan So Tephipeye
Aging Well is focused on residents over sixty five in Selwyn,
while Picky Armor Kura is aimed to empower young people.
The Mayor there, Sam Broughton, says it's vital they have
a vision and a plan for each of those group's needs.
A third of Salwyn's population is under twenty four, while
it's also projected to be the fasting fastest aging district
(20:37):
in thirty years now. Broughton says the council will be
the coordinator of each strategy and work with other agencies
to ensure the services and funding is available.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
So lots of old people, lots of young people. All sandwich,
no filling, Clai. How's you weather today.
Speaker 11 (20:53):
Cloudy with fine spells increasing this morning southwest of these
easing the high as twelve.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Thank you, Max Tolsnwelling and good ams. Great news for
your rights forecast. Good morning.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
Yeah yeah. The typical rates bill expected to increase by
about three thousand dollars by twenty twenty eight. That would
essentially be about fifty percent higher than what Wellingtonians are
paying right now, so a pretty gloomy outlook. The latest
increase was about twenty one percent, give or take this.
A new council projection takes into account water and leaky pipes,
(21:27):
of course, also helping pay for a facility to process
waste water. The mayor has commented on it, points to
historic under investment in cycle way and again defending cycle ways,
pointing out they cost sorry under investment in infrastructure, again
defending cycle ways, pointing out cycle ways cost about two
(21:48):
percent of all councils spending year by year.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Goodness mat right with it today?
Speaker 5 (21:54):
Periods of rain possibly heavy twelve the high Central excellent.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Thank you. That is a lot of money, isn't it.
Neva's an Auckland for us this morning. Good morning, Neva,
good morning.
Speaker 12 (22:03):
I was just listening to your conversation about whether we
should pay for and I think we should.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
I think so too.
Speaker 13 (22:10):
He should give a stylist, at least.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Do you think he needs one?
Speaker 12 (22:14):
Saying well, I mean I think so, just to say, hey, look,
you know purple is not your color but yellowish?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah, right, nothing too.
Speaker 13 (22:21):
Tight around the middle. But what about this kind of February.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Yeah, it's interesting because over in the UK they obviously
have donors who are paying for it. That's the news
this morning. In America, it's self funded. Most of these
guys are rich any way out. Oh yeah, okay, But
I just think if you're going to put yourself out
there on the world stage, you should make sure that
you that you do look good.
Speaker 13 (22:42):
And we want them to look good, don't we.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (22:44):
I mean when you were on TV, did you have
a clothing.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I had a clothing allowance. Yes, but actually the girls
got more than the boys. Really, But to be fair,
guys mostly just wear suits. You know, you could wear
the same sit were.
Speaker 12 (22:56):
You about to choose or did you have someone say, hey, Ryan,
green is in your color?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
They had a stylist who you could go shopping with. Yes,
and so Sarah, she was fantastic. But yeah, the girl's
got more money. Always used to think it was unfair
because the girls got the same or they got more
grooming allowance. But I've got this you know, this beer
that I needed to get shaved all the time, which
is quite pricey to get done.
Speaker 13 (23:17):
And then you're here and you've got quite thick here
as well.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Exactly.
Speaker 12 (23:21):
No, I think that's yeah. They should have given you
the same same amount exactly.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Otherwise it's sexist.
Speaker 12 (23:27):
Yes, it is quite right anyway, good way to start
the morning.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Hey, cell phone's the band?
Speaker 12 (23:33):
Yes, Now look this Auckland School says banning cell phones
has brought positive changes. I love this, including a rugby
ball going through a window for the first time in
years now. This is Mount Albert Grammar School. They ban
cell phones during school hours. This is at the start
of last year and as we know, the government required
all schools to be in cell phone used during school time.
This tomb too, so the headmaster, Patrick Drum says break
(23:55):
times are now noisy, they're active, they're filled with sports
games again and they're really really happy. And we were
sitting there in the newsroom were saying, isn't it amazing that,
you know, the smash of a ball going through so
you know, through a window at school you'd usually go
oh no, but we're going yay because it's great having
going back to the olden days.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
That's fantastic news. Neva House. The weather today, rain, heavy.
Speaker 12 (24:17):
Falls, thunderstorms possible from the afternoon easing though this evening
and sixteen is the high here in Auckland.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Thanks Neva seventeen to six our UK correspondent. Next, because

it and where are things heading. We'll look at the data,

Speaker 2 (25:27):
We're going to Devin gray Are UK Europe Correspondent Gavin
Eight people have died. This is another boating tragedy on
the Channel.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
Here is at the scene in northern France. Six taken
the hospital, including a baby with hypothermia. Rescue services alerted
at one am local time to the waters north of
Boulogne Soo Mayre. It was a rubber vessel packed with
sixty people on board. Countries that came from ranging from Eritrea, Sudan,
Syria and Iran. And all this less than a fortnight
(26:00):
after twelve people, including six children, had died when a
boat carrying dozens of migrants sank, in the deadliest loss
of life in the Channel this year. This has been
a busy weekend. On Saturday, eight hundred people across the Channel,
the second highest daily total made so far this year.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Also just from storm Boris a.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
Really dreadful and continental Europe. At least seven people have died,
many others are missing after widespread flooding across eastern and
central Europe. More rainfall expected in the coming days. Surging
river levels really really causing problems for authorities. Tens of
thousands of homes have been damaged so far in Romania
where five died. In the Czech Republic thousands have been evacuated.
(26:43):
And on Sunday one person who's found to have dowed
in southwest Poland that was a firefight of tackling flooding
as well in Austria also died. I'm afraid some amazing statistics.
Four hundred and fifty millimeters of rain has fallen since
Wednesday evening this.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Way, thank you so much for that, Gavin Gray are
UK europe correspondent to go one twelve minutes away from
six Bridge. The Post Primary Teachers Association the PPTA says
the government's plan to plug the teacher shortage with unregistered
relievers will short change thousands of young students. On Friday,
the government announced a series of short term actions to
(27:21):
utilize relief teachers to ease the pressure on schools. The
Teaching Council will loosen eligibility criteria for limited authorities to
teach or lats to allow previously registered teachers to receive
a LAT. Chris Abercrombie is the PPTA president. He's with
us this morning. Chris, good morning, good morning, Thanks for
being with me. What's what's wrong with this?
Speaker 14 (27:45):
Well, it's just as a short term, knee jerk reaction
to this issue instead of thinking about how can we
solve this issue. We've been asking the government for governments
for many years to deal with the issue. It's just
knee short term reaction.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
We'll talk about that because there is a whole section
in the minister's letter about long term. But this is
short term and you're saying they're being short changed. Can
you tell us exactly what. So we'll have a relief teacher.
Normal teacher goes down sec or on a training day
or whatever, relief teacher comes in. Who is that relief teacher?
Not registered?
Speaker 14 (28:20):
Yeah, so they won't be a registered teacher. That won't
one not be a qualified teacher. They will literally potentially
just be a warm body in the room.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Okay. Is that that big of a deal if the teachers,
I mean, how often are the teachers sick?
Speaker 14 (28:34):
Well, we know it's the big issue at the moment.
We know the schools all around this country that are
Rosterrian students home every single day, and we know that
principles are dount and has continual use of relievers, continual
disruptions like this is having a real impact on schools
and kids enjoy them in a school.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Yeah, but you've got to have someone in front of
them in class, don't you so better a warm body
than nobody.
Speaker 14 (28:56):
Well, absolutely, you've got to have somebody in it. But again,
this is a knee reaction to an issue that has
existed for years and that we have been constantly trying
to push the government to solve. One of the other
ways that you do that is pain relievers more. That
is one of the issues, and so we've we've been
constantly trying to get increases in the will never pay.
We've got some of the US clip around when there's
(29:19):
one one way to deal with us.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
They're looking at practicing certificates, they're looking at the number
or the maximum number of half days that can be done.
There is longer term stuff there, but as a as
an immediate you know, if things are as bad as
you say they are, Chris, surely you would be celebrating
the fact that there would be more available warm bodies
to look after kids.
Speaker 14 (29:42):
Well, this is this, You just nailed it. Looking after kids,
not teaching kids, not educating kids, not helping them, they're
just looking after them. And you know that's these kids
deserve more.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Yeah, but if it's I mean, how often are teachers sick?
Speaker 14 (29:57):
Well, as I say, there's a huge issue with teachers.
It's called hiven and Ross's teacher's home for a student's
home because of teacher illness PLD. We've got significant criquet
human cess, the change coming up. These are all things
impacting on the ability of teachers to be in the classroom.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Yeah, but I still understand if the teachers are going
home sick or with personal development or whatever it is,
and you're having to send students home because there's no teacher,
wouldn't you prefer that there was someone there?
Speaker 14 (30:26):
Wells better there's someone there. But the issue is that
these young people deserve a teacher in front of them,
not just a person. And that's that's our belief. We've
always had. That belief is that that's the best thing
for our young people is a qualified red as a
teacher in front of them. And that's what we want,
that's what our parents expect, that's what our communities expect.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
All right, Chris, thank you very much for your time
this morning. Appreciate it. Chris Abercrombie PPTA president.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Ryan Bridge.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Lots to say back on Jetstar announcing they're going to
be flying out of Hamilton and Dunedin. I don't know
how many customers they're going to get based on the
tenor of the text that we're getting. Also, did you
see yesterday do we celebrate the government getting it supposedly
getting crime down in Auckland CBD twenty two percent reduction
(31:19):
and serious assaults eighteen percent reduction in serious assaults resulting
in injury. Alton Council sees a thirty five percent reduction
in crime. I don't think I buy it. I'm going
to wait till the real stats come out from Ginny Anderson.
Speaker 12 (31:35):
Missingly agree sebar.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
The news you need this morning and the in depth
analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Swifth City, New
Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
News Talk said be five to six. News Talk said
be Ryan, I'd prefer that there was somebody in class
with my kid rather than having to send them home.
This is about relief teachers and whether they should be
reested or not. Also, over in the US, Overnight, jd
Vance has shared a new video alleging purporting to show
cats on the barbecue.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
Yo, what is this they got on the grill?
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Cat right there? Missing man?
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Look like it's Homi's on a grill.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
Man.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
I don't know if it was a cat or a check.
And there's people are saying it's clearly checking Mike as well.
That's in the studio. Good morning, Mike, good to see you.
Speaker 15 (32:34):
Evse, we're going to talk about this morning.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
You haven't got away.
Speaker 15 (32:37):
I know you're your Bentley downstairs?
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Yes?
Speaker 15 (32:40):
How long have you had that? You? Did you enjoy it?
Speaker 2 (32:43):
That's not my Bentley, was it not?
Speaker 15 (32:46):
There's a lot of nice don't be embarrassed about having
a lovely car, Ryan, No, No, every morning it's two tone.
It's a beautiful two tone Bentley with contrasting leather interior.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
I do wonder who owns those cars downstairs? Anyway, I
assume any nice card and there must be yours. But
I'm here before you.
Speaker 15 (33:01):
Would you buy a car? I read the other day.
I read the other day there was a car for
seventy six thousand dollars normally new right and ev and
they were doing a deal at forty three. So say
you say you're on say you're on the on the
fence for an EV, right, so seventy six bit expensive.
You don't want to spend seventy six. Suddenly they go,
I can do it.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
No, I would would do it. You wouldn't because the
charging stations also, I don't want to hang around and
wait while it charges.
Speaker 14 (33:26):
Just not.
Speaker 15 (33:26):
That's and that's the point they're making. Even at those
sort of prices, they can't ship them. So the country's
full of EV's they can't sell. So we'll look at that.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
This one, nice one. Mike's with you next. Thanks for
all of your texts and messages today cent tomorrow.
