Speaker 1 (00:01):
The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
early edition with one roof make your property search simple,
new stalks that'd be.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Good morning, Welcome to your Friday, just gone six, half
to five. Great to have your company this morning. Trump
is getting a little blocked by the courts over as tariffs.
He's throwing a wobbly, says he's going to the Supreme Court.
We'll have all the details. That's just happening in overnight. Now.
Parents here going to be prosecuted if their kids aren't
going to school. This is a new one from David Semour.
A lot going on today, very busy Friday. So we'll

(00:34):
talk to a teacher about that and explain exactly how
you would be prosecuted as a parent. Do we have
a deal on Garza? We've got a correspondent on that,
and well lots more for you are reporter wrapped this morning.
And the lollies over that have been recalled over in
Germany because they had not lots of sugar, but lots

(00:55):
of marijuana in them when they shouldn't have. Straight ahead.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
The agenda, who say.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
The twenty ninth of May in Berlin, Frederick Mertz and
Zelensky have done a deal. You know, we knew about.
What they have now also signed is an agreement that
would get them ten billion euros in aid. So that

(01:23):
gets Lensky ten billion euros in a that's the new
part from use today now. Police have just named a
fifty three year old Paul Doyle from West Darby as
the man charged with seven offenses after the Liverpool parade
car crash. He faces six charges related to grievous bodily
harm and one count of dangerous driving.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
The investigation is at an early stage. Prosecutors and police
are continuing to work at pace to review a huge
volume of evidence. This includes multiple pieces of video footage
and numerous witness statements.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Trump tariff business, it's the New York based Court of
International Trade. You've never heard of it. Three judges they
are ruling he overstepped the mark using those emergency laws
to impose his tariffs. The interesting thing.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
At the use of this law is that it had
not been used before to impose tariffs. It had traditionally
used to impose sanctions, and so the court was simply
seeing that the President doesn't have the power under this
statute to to adopt these kinds of measures.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Now Australian actress you mate Sharon from kak and Kim
Sharon Magna Sebanski, she's been diagnosed with cancer.

Speaker 5 (02:37):
I have just been diagnosed with a very rare, very aggressive,
very serious lymphoma. It is one of the nasty ones, unfortunately.
But the good thing is I'm surrounded by beautiful friends
and family and an incredible medical support team.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Love this from Turkey. Turkey is going to start finding
finding airline passengers who stand up before the seat belt
sign turns off after landing.

Speaker 6 (03:02):
Brilliant Turkey's Aviation authority says it, We'll find passengers who
disrespect others or engage in unsafe behavior while getting off
the plane. This includes unbuckling seat belts or accessing overhead
bins while the aircraft is still taxing, or standing before
it is eu ro's turn to exit.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Yeah, sixty seven euros could be your punishment. Nine after five.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
Bridge and one roof Make Your Property Search Simple News.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Talk said, be right. So this tariff ruling that I
have never heard of this court. I don't expect many
people would have heard of this court, but it's in
New York. It's called the Court of International Trade, and
what it's done overnight is ruled that President Trump overstepped
his authority. He overstepped the mark. You went too far
on the Liberation Day because remember he was using those
emergency powers to get his tariffs across. So this guy

(03:58):
has been waging aid war with the world. Now he's
going to basically have to go and wage war with
the courts. They're going to take it all the way
to the Supreme Court because he doesn't want this hanging
over him. They've given him the Small Court ten days
to reverse the tariffs. So the question a couple of
questions out of this, can you know that ten percent
universal tariff? Can that stand? And the reciprocal tariffs that

(04:22):
he's wanting to put in from July, will they even eventuate?
And if you're a country that's negotiating with the United
States of America right now, do you just walk away
and say, hey, sorry, bro, looks like you're a bit
cock blot, you know? And then what does Congress do?
Does Congress come in save the day and pass new
laws to allow him to do as tariffs? Then what

(04:44):
does the Supreme Court do? Well, you know when it
gets there, because it will get there and he's wanting
to get there by Friday local time. So all kicking
off in the States. And obviously that'll be a dent
to Trump's ego, But is it actually going to from doing.
What this guy is is a man on a mission.
And remember tariff is his favorite word, so he's I

(05:09):
don't think he's going to stop. He'll just find if
you can't go round it, if you can't go over it,
and you can't go under it, and whatever, He'll barge
through it somehow, won't he. Eleven after five y're on
News Talk said be plenty more to come. We'll talk
about the RMA changes that were announced yesterday with Kate
Acklan from Beef and Lamb.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Next, the news and Views you trust to start your
day is early editioned with Ryan Bridge and One Room
Make your Property Search Simple.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
News Talk said be So, We've got some numbers from
core Logic and Cotality overnight. This is the Catality Westpac
New Zealand first home Buyer report. The proportion basically first
home buyers are getting older, but the proportion of them
in the market is increasing, so the proportion wise it's
twenty five percent of all property purchases. This is January

(05:56):
to April twenty twenty five, well above the long term
average of twenty one to twenty two. So that's good.
If you're a first home buyer, then the market is
welcoming you. And age wise this is interesting. Auckland buyers.
The average age now thirty seven, Wellington thirty six, christ
Church thirty five, so that's all to do with affordability.

(06:17):
Of course that makes sense. Two to three years older
than it was in twenty nineteen, so you've got to
say for longer, and that takes years, and then you're
older by the time you buy it. We're also getting
more banged for our bucks. Seventy five percent of first
home buyers buyer purchases so far in twenty twenty five
have been standalone houses as opposed to units and other
stuff that people don't actually want to live in. But

(06:38):
you have to sometimes, don't you. There. It is fourteen
after five. Spray and Bridge, Beef and Lamb, New Zealand
are happy this morning after yesterday's RMA reform announcement. We've
got changes to freshwater management, we've got the removal of
land use capability, Kate Ackland, Chair of Beef and Lamb
New Zealand, with me this morning. Hi Kate, morning morning,

(07:00):
Good to have you on the show. Can you give
us just a rundown in simple terms what this will
mean for your average farm.

Speaker 7 (07:10):
So what we're saying is they're addressing some of the
issues that we've been calling for change on for a
long time, particularly in the fresh water space, because the
rules that were in place were complex, they weren't practical,
and actually in some cases they were impossible to meet.
So there would have been some really big implications I think,
particularly for our hell Country farmers and our more extensive

(07:30):
farmers that we're facing some really costly sensing and stock
exclusions particularly.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
And so this means it's less about this number, that number,
that metric and more about the overall health of their
waterways of the environment. Is that a good summary?

Speaker 8 (07:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (07:51):
Absolutely, And just removing some of those very sort of
specific rules that, as I said, were impossible to meet.
You know, there's one example that they had a number
around suspended fine sentiments that independent research showed that even
if you stopped agriculture and the catchments were returned to
their natural state, so to Bush effectively, you know, thirty

(08:13):
eight percent of the rivers still wouldn't meet those natural
bottom line numbers that they put in place, so, you know,
just really impractical.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
So the bar was too high, way too high.

Speaker 7 (08:23):
Well what absolutely way too high? And you know some
modeling suggested that you'd need to shut down forty four
percent of all sheep and beef farmland and repire it
and you still wouldn't meet some of the numbers. So
really pleasing to see that sort of consultation on a
change in direction.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
K do we have to be worried about our international reputation.
We don't want to look like some sort of backwater
that's with dirty river water running through our country towns.

Speaker 7 (08:53):
No, I look absolutely that front of mind, and we
can have both. I mean, I think what it's about
finding the balance between world class healthy waterways, which we
do have, by the way, and also of allan for
a really productive and profitable rural sector. You know, you've
got to acknowledge that farming can have an impact on

(09:13):
freshwater qualities like everything else that we do around the waterways,
but we've got to manage it right. And what we
definitely need, our rural communities need to thrive. They need
to be productive, but they need rules that are uncomplicated
and expensive and actually deliver the right outcomes, which has

(09:34):
been a whole of ecosystem health.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Kay, appreciate your time this morning. Thanks for coming on
the show. Kate Ackland, Chepis and at Beef and Lamb,
New Zealand. It is seventeen minutes half to five. A
text here from one of our listeners, Morning Ryan, who
is running the United States? They voted in this administration?
Is it Trump or is it half a dozen judges
from some obscure court in New York. If so, why

(09:57):
bother with elections? Well? Trump is in charge the executive
branch of government, but there is the judiciary as well,
and you can't have one without the other. Otherwise you're
a dictatorship, aren't you. Eighteen after five News Talk.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
Zemb Ryan Bridge on a early edition with one roof.
Make your property search simple, use doorg zibby.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Good morning. It is twenty after five. David Sema wants
to lock up, well, non lock up, that's an exaggeration.
Wants prosecutions against parents whose kids repeatedly fail to go
to school. We're going to talk about that just before
six o'clock plus is there a deal on Gaza that's
with our correspondent coming up shortly as well. Twenty after five.
Now we've got data out on plane arrivals for April

(10:42):
this morning. Just sixty percent of Air New Zealand trans
Tasman flights in April left on time sixty percent. Compare
that with Jetstar seventy eight percent of their trans Tasman
flights living on time quantus seventy So why are we
so bad? Peter Clark, Aviation commentator, Peter, it's nice to
have you on the program. Good morning, Good morning to you.
So what's going on here?

Speaker 9 (11:05):
Well, I think we've got to take it in perspective
lyre New Zealand is the major carrier, but it's also
got a large fleet and they have a large number
of dispatches across the Tasman every day from Wellington, christ Church,
Queenstown and Auckland, so they've got a lot of aircraft
to turn around to get across, and most of those
aircraft have come in from other destinations then train shipped

(11:28):
through Auckland and then go across. So there's all of
those factors that have to have to be taken into
account when you look at these figures and they are
based only on one month at this stage.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Does it are we quite backed up? Like do we
use our aircraft for these routes a lot more than
these other airlines?

Speaker 9 (11:49):
Well, I think you've got to say that. Also they
utilize their aircraft. They're come in from Los Angeles, come
into Auckland and then they'll head off somewhere else or
head off up into the Pacific across the Tasman. That
the Tasman's operated by a lot of the A three
twenty one aircraft now which they utilize for that. They
have the dispatches for those aircraft going across. But look,

(12:13):
Auckland has congestion, it has problems. And an aircraft gets in,
it's got to be turned around, it's got to be serviced,
it's got to be catered and and then it has
to be sent on its way, and that's that's the problem. Also,
there can be quite good congestion utilization of staff that
serves the aircraft, a lot of a lot of the dispatches,

(12:36):
especially in the morning, there's a lot of aircraft departing
out of Auckland. So it's it's it's it's a big
it's a big job. Jetstar probably use the aircraft across
the Tasman and then they use them domestically, the same
aircraft up and down the country. So it's really hard.

(12:57):
And I think in New Zealand do it try hard.
There's lots of things. They probably are over utilizing the
aircraft and they turnaround times. They're not giving themselves enough
margin there because they want to get the aircraft in
and out, trying.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
To do too much too quickly. What about the I
looked at the airline performance. There's a domestic jet routes
for April, and I know you said it's only one month,
but if you look at the trend from January, their
performance air New Zone has been slipping month on month.

Speaker 9 (13:27):
Yeah, I think we are seeing that and I think
they are having problems at the moment. They've got aircraft
problems with the engines and serviceability there. And look, I
only have to speak from my own self. Just last
a week ago, I was in Singapore, I was at
the gate. My Triple seven Air New Zealand flight was

(13:48):
canceled right at the gate to New Zealand. So that
costs the airline a lot of money when they can't
dispatch in aircraft, so they've got to get those aircraft
in the air. And then we look at domestic look
the weather, traffic problems at airport at Auckland, busy times there,

(14:08):
air traffic control, weather, all of these things play into
operating an aircraft.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
Now it's a tricky business, isn't it. Peter, appreciate your time,
Peter Clark with us this morning Aviation commentator. Are those
numbers on our trans Tasman but also domestic routes on
time arrivals in New Zealand all reported domestic regional routes
departed seventy eight point six percent on time and eighty
point two percent arrived on time. The cancelation was four

(14:36):
point six twenty four after five. News Talk said, be
the price of butter?

Speaker 1 (14:40):
Next the early edition full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio
powered by News Talks AB.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
News Talk said, b it has just gone twenty seven
after five, So butter is bloody expensive. Bakers are buying
in bulk from the Aussies because it's cheaper. The Internet
blames our dairy farmers, the co op that buys their milk,
the producers who sell it. But there are a couple
of things to point out here. One, we export a
hell of a lot more butter to the world than

(15:10):
the Aussies do. In twenty twenty three, we exported nine
point four tons. Sorry, they exported nine point four tons.
Guess what we did four hundred and forty one tons.
So they exported two percent of the quantity that we did,
and that means our price is more susceptible to the
international market price. We export most of our butter, we

(15:32):
pay the international price. Australia, on the other hand, eats
a lot more of its own butter exports less. This
is good and bad. It means we pay the trade price, yes,
but it also means that when the price is high,
as it has been lately, our largest company in Fonterra
does well. Our farmers do well. They spend more money here.
They drive growth in our economy. Yesterday we learned that

(15:54):
was to the tune for the season of fifteen billion
dollars being plowed in two play issues in Europe have
pushed the price the global price. Up Ours is a
premium product. It's grass feed, it's sustainable which is in
high demand overseas, and it tastes better we all know
that the exchange rate has also encouraged the large purchases

(16:15):
from offshore buyers. Three. When you produce a lot of something,
producers will lock themselves into big international contracts because they
buy greater volumes than your local retailers would need. The
Aussies have this problem with their gas. Australian National University
business economics lecturer David Lehey explains this well. He says,

(16:36):
they signed some big money contracts over there to supply
enormous amounts of gas at locked in prices, and you
pay more an assie for your Assie gas than you
would and somewhere else in the world. He says, even
though they could sell it for more domestically, they are
locked into these contracts. You can't. Number four. We don't

(16:56):
actually know the details of that Costco butter that's been
doing the wrong on the internet lately, do we. Everyone's
been raving about it. Is it a lost leader, is
it a marketing poy? Is it discounted to get people
into the store and then simultaneously by forty eight rolls
of toilet paper? So yes, Kiwi butter is bloody expensive

(17:17):
at home. But the fact it's expensive elsewhere is actually
a good thing on the whole for New Zealand. Ryan Bridge,
Sure on news Talk said b twenty nine, after five
lots of text, Ryan, Air New Zeand has one job,
one job, and they're not doing it. Get to our
reporters next, the.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
News you need this morning and the in depth analysis
early edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof make your
Property search Simple. News Talk said, Ben.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
You're on news Talk, said, be welcome to your Friday
great of the company. We're going to talk David Seymour
and his plan to prosecute parents who don't send their
kids to school. Just before six o'clock, we'll get to
our correspondent on a potential ceasefire for Gaza and other
potential seats fire for Gaza. And we've been talking about
both the price of butter and the consistency and on

(18:18):
time performance of our flights. We've had a report out
this morning. It's April, so it's just one month's darter,
but Air New Zealand on time just sixty percent across
the Tasman whereas jet Star was up there around seventy
eight and Quantus around seventy. Ryan, what a load of
crap from the guy you just had on Quantus has
forty flights a day across the Tasman. This commentator has

(18:40):
no idea. Is he being paid by Air New Zealand
knows not, Morning Ryan. This guy is talking rubbish, rubbish.
Quantus and Jetstar had just as many flights across the
Tasman as in New Zealand and are affected by all
of the same issues. It's not like the wind hits
an Air New Zealand flight more often than it does
a Quantus one, which I suppose is a fair point.
And we'll get to the rest of the feedback on

(19:02):
the butter etc. Shortly. But here is Caroline Levitt just
held a press conference at the White House. This is
about a little court, little known court out of New
York putting the kibosh on Trump's global tariff agenda. It
leads for the next ten days. Have her listen to
the White House response.

Speaker 10 (19:21):
Congress firmly rejected an effort led by Senator Ran Paul
and Democrats to terminate the president's reciprocal tariffs.

Speaker 7 (19:28):
The courts should have no role here.

Speaker 10 (19:30):
There is a troubling and dangerous trend of unelected judges
inserting themselves into the presidential decision making process America cannot
function if President Trump, or any other president for that matter,
has their sensitive diplomatic or trade negotiations railroaded by activist judges.
President Trump is in the process of rebalancing America's trading
agreements with the entire world, bringing tens of billions of

(19:53):
dollars in tariff revenues to our country and finally ending
the United States of America from being ripped off. Judges
are threatening to undermine the credibility of the United States
on the world stage.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
That was Caroline Levitt just a few moments ago, out
of the White House, twenty two away from Sex Bryan Bridge.
Go to Dunedin now, PROMPTI is with uth Colm. Good
morning to you. It's moving day.

Speaker 11 (20:15):
It is moving day this weekend, Sunday, in fact, during
the first which is the traditional date here for farmers
who'll be gearing up for the annual will Some call
it gypsy day as well, but they're being worn to
keep an eye on their stocks effluent this year your
five thousand dairy family. Dairy farming families on the move,

(20:36):
relocating to new farms and taking their cows with them,
leave behind a bit of a mess, though the Regional
Council hears urging farmers to stand off their stock for
at least twelve hours leading up to moving day, and
the council is also encouraging truckies to make use of
roadside effluent disposal sites to avoid safety hazards for other

(20:56):
drivers and polluting waterways. Ryan farmers also being want to
be vigilant of the rise and farm theft, which usually
spikes around moving day as well.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
Okay, and there's a Dunedin's weather today, a few shells today,
Fresh westerly is eleven. There is a strong wind watch
for dned and.

Speaker 11 (21:13):
Severe gale force so westerly is expected from two o'clock
this afternoon.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Good on you, Calum, thank you, Cli you would and
christ Church clear, good morning, good morning. Now you've got
the sinking land. We've spoken about this before in the
red zone in christ Church. What's happening with it.

Speaker 12 (21:27):
There's a particular pocket of the land out east around
Kate Lake Kate Shepherd Rather which seriously subsided during the earthquakes.
It no longer drains well. It's effectively wetland. Christ Church
City councils now seizing the opportunity to restore the ecology
of that area and also make it a community asset
at the same time. So there are plans to create

(21:48):
two rugby fields, four touch fields, some football fields, a
cricket pitch, and then of course restore some playground equipment.
The residential red Zone manager Dave Little says it is
one of the most important ecological sites in the Avon
River corridor. Was also a really large spawning site for
white bait, so he says the big focus now is
about balancing that natural environment while also making some new

(22:11):
recreational activities for the community.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
Good weather for today, clear a.

Speaker 12 (22:15):
Bit of frost about this morning, but then should be
mainly find a brief shower around midday. The high will
be thirteen.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
Nice one Max and Wellington, Hey Max, good morning. Yeah.
Crypto's speridium risk and pools. The council knew about the wait.
They knew about the crypto and didn't tell the public.

Speaker 13 (22:32):
I think this is why people sometimes despise pr and
communications departments. We've been reporting for some time with this
uptick of cryptos spuriosis cases in the region since the
start of the year. A central concern has obviously been
these public swimming pools where we know this awful stomach
bug has been spreading almost one hundred cases. Now, our
newsroom wanted to know more specifically around the public messaging, Why,

(22:53):
when and how this information has been disseminated. We received
internal emails that show huts the council stuff discussing the
risk at swimming pools of cases and instead taking the
path let's react when the media comes asking questions rather
than proactively warning the public. I you, we could have
known about these cases weeks earlier, but instead there was

(23:15):
an internal direction, a direction to be reactive only. The
first post on social media was May twenty one, where
there was at least fifteen cases by then linked to
one pool thing. Nay, the council says it's comfortable with
how it was handled, didn't want to cause undue alarm.
A fascinating insight into how these very well paid communications
stuff work. You can read it on the Herald website.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Wow, it's not often we get to see behind the
curtain and it's an ugly it's always depressing. Wow, it's terrible.
So but did they know that the levels were high
enough to potentially make people sick? Yes? I hate using
the term but heads must roll, heads roll, or or
send them a big bag of doggie doo round to

(23:59):
their house and put it on their port. That just yeah,
make them swim in the pool exactly. How's your weather
mostly fine?

Speaker 13 (24:07):
Today's strong winds seventeenth Central.

Vincent mcaviny is our UK Europe correspondent lots to talk
about this morning, Vincent. We may have well, at least
the Israelis like the look of this deal from the US.
HUMA still studying it.

Speaker 15 (26:46):
Yeah, that's right. I mean, this conflict is obviously devastating
stage this week in Gaza, we've seen those scenes desperation,
people trying to access the food aid. We've seen yet
more bombing and death. The US envoy, who is a
longtime friend of Donald Trump no diplomatic experiences a sort
of New York property developer Steve Whitcoff. He seems to

(27:08):
think that there's some optimism around this deal between Israel
and Hamas, but it has to be said that, you know,
whilst Israel it is saying that it is very much
trying to get back into Donald Trump's good books. There
has been a bit of a fraudoire between Jerusalem and Washington,
d C. But so far no word from the Palestinian side,
so I wouldn't expect anything too imminently.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
What about this Liverpool crash driver, We're learning more about
him this morning. What do we know?

Speaker 15 (27:35):
Yeah, in the past hour here police have given a
press conference and said that he is fifty three year
old businessman Paul Doyle from Liverpool. He has been charged
with seven offenses after that horrific car crash at the
Liverpool Football Club parade on Monday. Those are charges which
he will have to face or sort of have to

(27:58):
first appearance and make of us appearance for at Liverpool
Magstrates Court in the morning. And there are two counts
of unlawful and malicious wounding with intent to cause a GBH,
two counts of causing unlawful and malicious, grievously body harm,
other counts of dangerous striving. Those victims, you know, several
of whom are still being treated in hospital for their injuries,

(28:18):
a total of seventy nine injured. Thankfully no one was killed.
This case, though, has really shocked Britain and tomorrow we
will see what he has to say for himself.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
All right, appreciate your time. Vincent mecav Any, a UK
europe correspondent, just gone to living away from six Bridge.
Now the government warned us about truancy. Now they're following
through the Ministry of Education is being told by Seymour,
who's the Associate Minister, prosecute parents who don't regularly send
their kids to school. Currently ten percent of our kids
are absent for fifteen days or more on a school term.

(28:49):
In this triggers you read light in that triggers you
possible prosecution. Andy England at Daffield School principle with me
this morning morning, Andy, Ryan, how are yeah good? Do
you think this will work? Well?

Speaker 8 (29:02):
It's interesting you're just talking about the UK. I am
an evidence from the UK is that it won't. If
you look at England that find people there, they're basically
reported it's not being very effective, whereas in Scotland, where
they don't find people, they get the same or better attendance.
So I mean the talk about attendants is making a difference.
Our attendance is certainly improving if you compare to this

(29:22):
year compared to the term one of last year, we've
got pretty substantially improved attendants. And I think some of
the other response to the talk that's happening at a
national level, so I can't fold that. But absolutely I
think this one's probably more about politics and not particularly
not particularly about education because the research would say it's
not going to help.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Yeah, but I actually reading between the lines, I don't
think they're actually going to end up prosecuting anyone. It's
you know, the ministry. We're not prosecute parents as students
who are absent because of chronic illness or health conditions
or disability, or who are genuinely engaging with the school.
Blah blah blah.

Speaker 15 (29:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
Yeah, I think it's more of a pr exercise, don't
you me too?

Speaker 8 (29:59):
And maybe it's okay sense, but if you look at
us that we look for you, we have twenty eight
students who could fall into the chronic attendance absence, sorry,
chronic attendance category in term one of this year's three percent,
and of them, the vast majority of them were into
those that their parents who are struggling, they've got health
issues within the family, the student themselves. We reckon they

(30:21):
might I'd be struggling to prosecute anything.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Who's got the health issues, the student or the parent.

Speaker 8 (30:28):
Usually the usually is the student. And there are some
good measures in place for those. I mean, the health
school facilities are brilliant. But actually, in my experience, most
parents want to get the students to school. There are
a few, you know, very few cases where that's not
the case. Most parents want to get the students to school.
They've got issues at home, complex issues, and I think

(30:51):
we want to make a really big difference. We've got
to take it more nuanced approach early intervention. If by
the time they've got to high school, it's the entrenched
in these behaviors, it's not a change quickly.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
That's not three percent. That's interesting. Most of them sick though,
you reckon, which which, by the way, they wouldn't be caught.
They wouldn't be prosecuted because of your chronic illness. It's
not it's not applicable. So yeah, all right, hey, and
it sounds like at least all the talk is doing
something which is counterintuitive. But there we go. Andy England
with us from the Darfield School in he's just the
principal there at Dartfield School.

Speaker 8 (31:24):
Thanks, thanks, je Jet.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Not quite confused. There is it a primary? Is it
a secondary? It is eight minutes away from six it's
a primary. You're on news Talks. He'd be Mike here next.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
The first word on the News of the Day early
edition with Ryan Bridge and one Room to make your
property search sivil news talks, just talks.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
He'd be great to have your company on a Friday
morning where a little lates will go straight to Mike.

Speaker 16 (31:50):
Hey, Mike morning. What do you want to talk about?
First home buyers or airlines? What's your favorite.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
First home buyers?

Speaker 8 (31:57):
When?

Speaker 2 (31:57):
When did you buy your first house?

Speaker 16 (31:59):
No, I assu you.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
What how old were you? Twenty three? It was it
got zero sunlight ro Valley and Wellington ro Valley and
it just made you really, you know, you learn from things.
What was your deposit? Did you have a deposit? Yeah?

Speaker 16 (32:12):
Did you have like ten percent or twenty percent.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
It would have been. It was a lower yeah, yeah,
very low, very low.

Speaker 16 (32:16):
But you got on early. See but that wasn't that
long ago, because you're only twenty nine now, aren't you.
I mean there was only a couple of.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
Years thirty seven.

Speaker 16 (32:22):
Well, see, that wasn't that long ago that you were
able to Really we're people around here are a couple
of young producers in their lower twenties who were into
the market. So it can be done, can be done,
It can be but you just buy something. It literally
got no sunlight all year.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
You got to buy a dump. Yeah.

Speaker 16 (32:37):
It's as simple as that. And I think that's what's
changed because the number this morning, if you'd asked me
if you'd have a guess, I would have said twenty
nine to thirty one.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
Yeah, but thirty seven, thirty seven is.

Speaker 16 (32:47):
A whole different thing. Thirty sevens. I'm married, I've got kids,
you know what I mean? Once upon a time it
was do.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
You know what I think it is? It's people going
they need everything's getting delayed now, living longer. So you
have the baby first, and then you get the house
because you've got you could be a bit of that
your wormsing.

Speaker 16 (33:06):
Tell you what I got from five kids, is not
one of them believes that they will ever own a home.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
Now they're wrong, they're wrong, but.

Speaker 16 (33:15):
No, no, no, no no.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
But it's not about no.

Speaker 16 (33:17):
You don't raise them that way. You're raised them to
make their own way in the world. The point being
is there's an entire generation of young people who in
their mind can't conceive of owning a house. Therefore, if
you can't conceive of something, it won't happen.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
And so that's that's a bigger problem than because you
can also go start somewhere, start buying one an hour
and a half.

Speaker 16 (33:38):
Out of time town and Canton wants that everyone wants
indoor out bill flow, preferably a wine cellar and a pantry.
And it's like you've got to go back to the
basics and a lawn, it into the r valley, freeze
your nuts off, to pay some mortgage money down, and
then you're often running.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
Never lived in a dark house again.

Speaker 8 (33:56):
There you go.

Speaker 16 (33:57):
Anyway, So we're going to be doing that and see
more on prosecuting parents overrum.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
Have a great friend everyone, I'll see you on Tuesday
next week. A cowboy hol.
