Speaker 1 (00:01):
The issues, the interviews and the inside. Ryan Bridge on
an early edition with ex pole insulation. Keeping Kimi Holmes
warm and try this winter news talk.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Sa'd be good morning. It is Thursday, six minutes after five.
Plenty to come through you this morning. Before six food
and fiber. We're heading new records. This is in terms
of revenue, billion dollar pay pd on the way for
our farmers. Just a time for field days. We'll look
at that before six o'clock. Mitch McCanns stateside for US
a new trade deal apparently agreed well at least on

(00:32):
Trump side, from the United States and China. We'll look
at that. Past the protests. US not happy with US
over Israel. Should we care? And the art of Teddy,
the old workhorse of the cook straight breaks down again,
literally limping towards the finish line. We'll look at that,
plus coastal shipping a little later on seven after five.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
The agenda.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Thursday, the twelfth of June. Five arrests, seventeen injured in
Northern Ireland. This is Ballamina off after two team boys
in the dark over sexual assault the census.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Violence is utterly unacceptable and as I see it serves
you'll need to endeared, your.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
Lives, undestroy our local area, our local communities.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
ICE protests in the US spreading to other cities, Chicago,
New York, in La the Mea declaring a curfew, Trump's
vowing to liberate the city, arrests overnight.

Speaker 5 (01:24):
This brazen abuse of power by a city president inflamed
a combustible situation, putting our people, our officers, and even
our national guard at risk.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
That's newsome morning, when the.

Speaker 5 (01:35):
Downward spiral began. Democracy is under assault before our eyes.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
That's Newsom. Wanting to be the next president himself and
Trump reckons he struck a deal with China.

Speaker 6 (01:47):
He says that we will get full magnets and any
necessary rare earth will be supplied up front by China.
And he says in return, China will also be able
to send its students to unite, so it's colleges and universities.
There is also some talk about tariffs, the tariff route
that may be in place, but again we're still waiting

(02:08):
for the final actual details.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Elon Musk says, I'm so sorry about those posts. He
says he went too far with Trump.

Speaker 7 (02:16):
Now with the days that have gone by and all
the commentary in the analysis, Elon Muski saying, I regret
some parts, not all of it, but some of it.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Just the Ipstein that say eight after five.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Ryan Bridge on early edition with expol insulation keeping Kiwi
Holmes warm and dry. This winter news.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Talks it be number six, just gone nine minutes after five.
So Trump says he's backing this trade deal. Do we
even call it a trade It's a deal between the
US and China, and I've got a framework for a
deal that this is the talks in London that we've
been talking about for the last couple of weeks. So
Trump says he's going to back this. Ch jinpaying is
yet to greenlight the final draft of it, right, so

(03:00):
it's still a work in progress. But basically China needs
US semiconductors. The US needs the rare earth minerals for
the auto industry. We talked about this the other day
of the batteries, So there is something going to happen there,
which is good. But the new tarifyrate, the US tariff
rate would be fifty five percent, and you think, hang
on a minute, that's higher than the thirty percent you're

(03:22):
currently got on there. After your ninety day pause, and
it's true it will actually go up after this deal.
But and this is what the White House is spinning,
and it's all true, I suppose, But whether you think
that they're valid or not. Ten percent the worldwide tariff
that we all get, plus you're twenty percent for the fentanyl,
of course, because they're shipping fentanyl like it's run and

(03:43):
going out of fashion. And then a twenty five percent
pre existing tariff. Total that is fifty five percent, So
that'll be your new rate from the US to China.
Don't know about the other way yet. Remember that twenty
five percent pre existing tariff. Trump brought it in during
his first term and then Biden didn't get rid of it,
so that is still there and the total would be

(04:03):
fifty five percent. So there you go. I mean, at
least it's progressed. At least they're talking, and at least
it looks like something might come of it, and this
madness might be over soon. Ten after five news talks,
they'd be coming up next, new report, same old story
on this is from the Child Children's Monitor on MILDI
children and care. So is it even worth talking about?

(04:24):
We'll ask inexpert next.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
The first word on the News of the Day early
edition with Ryan Bridge and X Bowl Insulation keeping Kimi
Holmes warm and dry this winter news talks.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
That'd be good morning, great to have your company. The
other Teddy of the inter Islander, limping towards the finish line,
is going to be retired in August. Last night broke
down again. It's anyone surprised to hear that when you're
waking up this morning that the other Teddy has broken down.

Speaker 5 (04:49):
No.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Left eight to fifty pm from Picton last night. The
three hour journey ended up taking eight hours. In fact,
they're only just due into Wellington Harbor right now, so
if anyone can see it then text me nine two
ninety two make sure it got there safely. Anyway, the
six fifteen am sailing canceled, the eleven am return from
Pickton to Wellington canceled. And I remember at the time

(05:11):
when this it was announced that the old workhorse would
be retired as saying to Winston Peters, what's going to
happen with the freight capacity? Because it carries thirty trucks
and twenty eight rail wagons, and you do multiple trips
a day, and you add that up and it starts
to have an impact, and he said coastal shipping. Coastal
shipping is how we're going to solve that problem until
we get the new ones. He's made an announcement about

(05:33):
that yesterday. Actually, James Meager almost on his behalf, will
get to that shortly. It's just gone thirteen after five.
Add another new report showing some Maori kids are falling
through the cracks. The Independent Children's Monitor found all the
usual stats for those in state care. Here's an interesting one.
Ninety two percent of those in trouble with Youth Justice
had a previous care and protection concern raised about them

(05:57):
when they were younger. In other words, childhood at home
was bad then they act out. Tracy Shipton CEO and
voice of fuck itrong with my is with me? Tracy,
Good morning.

Speaker 8 (06:07):
Yeah, good morning.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Good to have you on this program. Does this report
tell us anything new?

Speaker 8 (06:13):
Well, it doesn't tell us as an organization anything new,
because we've been talking with young people for years now
and getting their view on the care system, so it's
not a big surprise to us.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
So do you have any hope anything is going to change?
I mean, it doesn't matter what government's in place, and
this report says that even the interventions that have been
put in place, you can't accurately tell whether they're having
much of an effect.

Speaker 8 (06:37):
Well, I think what the report does tell us is
that there are there's opportunities to actually make impactful intervention
really early. It tells us that ninety two percent go
on from care and protection concern raised to youth Justice
tells us there was a window somewhere earlier to do something.
And I guess for us that's a challenge. What can

(06:58):
we do earlier? What can we do is a collective
community that's going to really impact positively the lives of
these young of these young people.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
The Minister of Finance and Bill English before her would say,
the answer is social investment. You target These are the
exactly the young people you want to be targeting, and
you already have these red flags right that they've been
in a home where there's been a care and protection issue.
Is that an answer?

Speaker 8 (07:27):
I think well, what certainly is an answer is saying
that we should invest in young people. Like if we
think about the language and what we're saying in these
reports is we want better outcomes. What's a better outcome?
A better outcome is a childhood where somebody emerges from
it hole. We have opportunities here, it's not happening. This

(07:49):
is a stark reminder that if we get an early
wrap around, it gives lots of support to FANO and
young people at the right opportunity. Yes, we can make
a difference. I am totally optimist that we can do that.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Tracy, appreciate your time this morning. Tracy Shipton, CEO of Voice,
fuck it on on my It is sixteen after five
year on News Talks. There be I actually happen to
believe wholeheartedly. And that's just how you do it and
how effective it is, whether you know whether you're just
throwing money pissing in the wind basically, which is what
we have been doing thus far with a lot of
these programs. You have to admit. It is sixteen after

(08:26):
five News Talks. There be Robert Patman next on the
US not happy with US over Israel.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
Bridge and x Fole Insulation Keeping Kiwi Holmes warm and
dry this winter News Talks at b.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Mitch we can in the States for US just before
six o'clock this morning on the protest plus this potential
trade deal between China and the US lots to get through. Ryan,
I'm totally over the talk fest over the kids. Nothing
ever changes, never will, says Mandy. Hard to argue with that, morning,
Ryan says, Clive, Good morning, Clive Newsom is a woke
radical who's destroyed California. This is the argument that you

(09:05):
would put against a Newsom is You've just had a
god what's the name of Karmela Harris from the same state.
But the same ideas didn't work, Why would it work
next time? Around nineteen after five, Ryan Bridge, the US
has criticized US for sanctions on Israel. Winston Peters joined
our allies, Australia, Canada, you name it, banning Israel's finance

(09:25):
minister and national security minister from traveling here. But the
US has now denounced these sanctions and says we should
instead be focused on from US. Robert Patman, international relations professor,
with me this morning morning, Robert, Good.

Speaker 9 (09:37):
Morning, Ryan.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
How does this should we worry about repercussions from the
US or is this just talk.

Speaker 9 (09:45):
We may to be seen. The thing is that the
status quo, the situation as it is at the moment,
it's just not sustainable. You've got after the shocking Hamas
attack on the seventh October twenty twenty three, when twelve
hundred Israelis or so were killed, we subsequently had what

(10:05):
mister Nechnia who calls a campaign a mighty vengeance in
Gals in which more than fifty four thousand Palestinians, many
of a substantial number of whom had nothing to do
with Hamas, have been killed. So and there's no seaside
of the work as a humanitarian blockade that has been
reimposed since early March with a million Palestines facing starvation.

(10:29):
Given this situation, and given the fact that Israel has
not responded to verbal appeals to lift the humanitarian blockade,
I think that countries that want a two state solution,
and mister Netna who doesn't want a two state solution,
have little option but to show some serious statement of
intentmen that starts with sanctions.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Ninna, who's turned around basically middle fingered. Thus, will we
get more sanctions?

Speaker 9 (10:56):
It's possible, and it's also possible the sanctions will be wide.
There's a lot of strength of feeling in manyly liberal democracies,
the United States is not a disinterested observer when it
comes to the conflict between the PUL seniors and the Israelis,
and it's I think it's been a weakness and a
failure of US leadership. The situation has got to this point.
Shouldn't be forgotten that the US has exercised the veto

(11:19):
five times in the UN Securities Council to thwart a
cease fire when the overwhelming majorities and we're talking about
more than one hundred and forty members in General Assembly
actually want a ceasefire. So this, in a sense, the
US has perpetuated this conflict. It's provided about four fifths

(11:40):
of the munitions that Israel has used in the conflict.
You know, the US is not a disinterested observer in
this and in the sense I think the other liberal
democracies are beginning to push back now and say, look,
international law is important and we have to we have
to uphold it and talk alone what is clearly not working.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
No, So yeah, are you in obviously Hamstrong, I mean
totally useless. And Trump's you know, Trump is criticizing US
for banning a couple of Israeli ministers who aren't going
to travel here anyway. So what hope do we have
that he's actually going to I mean, who cares? Does
he listen to the international community?

Speaker 9 (12:17):
Yeah, but matters of war and peace shouldn't rest just
on the shoulders of mister Trump, and he doesn't get
it right on everything. And the fact of the matter
is you can't stand by while war crimes are being
committed on a daily basis with impunity. And I think
the majority of people in the world would like to

(12:38):
see a much more authoritative mechanism for dealing with conflicts
like this, and I think it's not going to happen.
You know, you mentioned that the UN Security Council is
pretty users. I agree it's useless because five members of
the UN Security Council use and abuse something called the
veto privilege, and that's got to stop. But you know,

(13:00):
u Zine has been against the veto since Peter Fraser
back in the Vulges. But what I'm saying here is
that Ryan sanctions may be a tentative start, and they
may be belated. I think they are very late, but
you've got to if you're serious about bringing about a
two state solution. And mister Nesnijo has always ruled out
a two state solution. You actually have to start with

(13:20):
some measure that shows that you're not prepared to go
on just accepting the status quo. And so many people
are suffering so horribly.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Appreciate your time this morning. Robert Patman, International relations professor.
Twenty three minutes after five, Ryan on the odd of
Teddy breaking down in Pickton while between Pickton and Wellington
overnight morning. Ryan says, Mike just driven my truck around
Wellington City to Mirima, around Orienteal Parade. No sign of
the other of Teddy. And this is at five twenty
two am. It was meant to get in by five,

(13:49):
left just before nine o'clock last night, so you're talking
now eight plus hours stuck on the add of Teddy.
They fixed the engine problem, it was a propulsion problem
at one am. Apparently still not back. If you've got
an uput, anyone got any eyes on the to Teddy,
let us know. It is twenty four minutes after five.
News Talks VB, the early.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Edition Full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by NEWSTALKSB.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
News TALKSB twenty six minutes after five. I've been reflecting
this field day's week on how much the dial has
shifted on farming and emissions in this country. We had
Chris Hopkins on the Herald Now program on Tuesday admitting
that essentially they don't currently have a policy on putting
agriculture into the ets. It was a signature policy platform

(14:36):
under the Addourn government. We had to do it. They
told us it was a moral not to. Farmers had
to pay a higher price, and who cares if it's
CO two or is methane or whatever emissions or emissions.
Labor is now open to ditching that all together and
softening its tone on farmers. This is happening for two reasons. One,
people are alive to the fact that without our strong

(14:56):
agricultural export prices, and we're looking at this after six
this small our regions would feel a lot more like
our main centers right now, economically depressed and limping along
like the arter tety. Actually selling a bunch of stuff
we already know how to do well is exactly what
a small trading nation like ours should be doing. Number Two,
the government has successfully, i think, changed the narrative on emissions,

(15:21):
basically through repetition. Our farmers are the most efficient in
the world. The world demands meat and dairy. They like
eating and drinking our stuff. If we cut back and
burn the farmers bite the hand that feeds our regional economies.
Someone else steps in to make that global demand and

(15:41):
you guessed it. Higher emitting meat and dairy products are
sold to the world. So, for reasons of basic economics
and political reality, the dials being shifted on farming and
emissions and labors. Well, a little late to the party,
but at least acknowledging. The landscape has well and truly changed.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
Bridge.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
You're on news talks. There'll be twenty eight after five.
Now to the UK, they're spending in review. This is
the UK government does it every year, Rachel Reeves, the
Finance minister, very expensive. Billions of dollars spent on the
asylum seeker hotels over there every single year. And she
has finally put a date on when they will shut
these things down. Pull the pin, she says, by the

(16:24):
end of her term. So that's twenty twenty nine. They
will stop spending Get this, three billion dollars a year
on asylum seeker hotels. They come over on the small
boats on the south coast. Put them in a hotel here.

Speaker 10 (16:36):
She is, so I can confirm today, but led by
the work of my right honorable friends the Home Secretary,
we will be ending the costly use of hotels to
us house asylum seekers in this parliament.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
There you go, There you go, there's Rachel Reeves. No
one believes it.

Speaker 11 (16:55):
Don't.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
By the way, how do you even do that? They reckon?
I'll cut the batlog with more funding here, more appeal
cases and boot out those who have no right to
be there. Ambitious. I suppose you've got to have goals,
don't you, Ryan. According to the myship tracking dot com website,
the oddity is birthing right now in Wellington Harbor. There
you go, bitch, becan Stateside, our reporters around the country

(17:18):
and we'll look more detail at those export prices. All ahead,
News talk, said Benny.

Speaker 12 (17:27):
Ellas name.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with
Ryan Bridge and x Fole Insulation keeping KII Holmes warm

Speaker 13 (17:45):
B good Fording twenty four away six News Talks. B
We're gonna get to mister.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
And statesides just before acquarter to six this morning. More
protests they're spreading over there. But also we've got a
potential trade deal between the US and China, which would
settle this thing at least for now. We're also going
to talk about the to the meat industry, I should
say food and five exports on track to break new
records after breaking records well pretty much every month for

(18:22):
the last year. So we'll talk about that. Just before
six o'clock, Ryan Hopkins has woken up too late to
the fact that he is in a policy wilderness over
agriculture emissions. Support for agricultural exports is a crucial way
forward for the recovery out of the mya left behind
by the previous lot, says Don Don. I couldn't agree
with him more. Ryan, Do we believe labor or wait

(18:43):
until they are in power of the greens and then
see the true fate of Chris Hopkins. Twenty three away
from six Bryan Bridge. Were going to our reporters around
the country. Calum and to Eden first this morning, Calum,
Good morning morning, Right Tiger Skifield's preparing for opening weekend
this weekend.

Speaker 12 (19:00):
Ye, It's all set to kick off this weekend. Queenstown Fields,
the Remarkables and Coronic Peak schedule to open for the
season Saturday and over the Range in Wanaka. Kadrona will
also open on Saturday. Triple Cones still another two weeks away,
but there's plenty of snow for the season to begin.
Codrona staff say the snowmakers have been working in overdrive
for one hundred and forty hours straight now to be

(19:21):
ready for Saturday. In fact, Kadrona's on track to overtake
Fucker Papa as New Zealand's largest ski field this season.
It has one hundred and fifty hectares of new terrain
to be enjoyed.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
Brilliant. How's your weather?

Speaker 12 (19:33):
Occasional rain for Dunedin today, easterlies and nine.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
All right, Claires in Christ morning to you, Claire, Good morning.
And now you've got concerns about this woman missing? What's
going on?

Speaker 4 (19:43):
Yeah, this is a real worry. Ryan Look. Seventy nine
year old Elizabeth Nichols was last seen at the Chateau
on the Park hotel in Rickerton at about eight o'clock
last Wednesday night. She'd been reported missing about an hour
or two before that. And here's the catch by a
rest home where she had just been admitted to in
the sort of presetting hours for some respite care. She

(20:05):
has been living with dementia. Now, Yesterday, marking a week
since her disappearance, police and the family spoke with media.
They describe Elizabeth as being someone who always puts others first.
Her husband of almost sixty years, Gary, says the family
has been living with painful uncertainty for the past week,
while Detective Sergeant Lucy Aldridge says policees now have grave

(20:26):
concerns for her well being. It has been very wet
and cold this week.

Speaker 11 (20:30):
She says.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
They feel they've done extensive searches in the Ricketton area
and have done all they can do and searched all
the obvious places. They now need the public's help, particularly
to check CCTV footage.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yeah, well, family, how's the weather? Cloudy and more rain
here today?

Speaker 4 (20:46):
Southwesterly is the high will be ten.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
Max and Wellington heymax. Good morning now. Water bills are
going up.

Speaker 14 (20:53):
Yeah, in front of the post this morning City Council
figures showing the average Wellington home going to be paying
more than twenty five hundred dollars a year per water
connection as part of rates. That's nearly twenty dollars a
day per household. Water is still a big problem in
the capital, perhaps the biggest problem. But then sometime after
July next year, water is going to be charged separately.

(21:13):
It'll cost less at first thanks to amalgamation. This is
Metro Water which will be running things across the city
the Hut Potidor.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
But after that.

Speaker 14 (21:23):
They'll keep rising again and the forecast is to an
average of more than seven thousand dollars per home by
twenty thirty three, and it'll be paid separately as well.
So high rates a big issue heading into October. One
of the front runners, Ray Cheung, promising of rates freeze.
Jury still out on how he'll do it because some
of these issues like water run pretty deep. How see

(21:43):
your weather mix mostly overcast with the odd shower fourteen
the high central brilliant.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
Thank you Neiba hey Neva greetings. Now north shore subjects.
We had boost water moon last night.

Speaker 15 (21:54):
Yes, the poor thing. So this was hill creased Northcote Tekapoona.
Now they were dealing with low water pressure, no water
at all or only a little dribble because of this fault.
So according to the water Care website, it says that
the technicians they were on site to rectify the issue.
Sharon Danks from waterkere sees at the cruise. They worked
overnight on this broken section of the water main and

(22:17):
fingers cross. They're not expecting further impacts to customers. But
last night apparently you know North Coats Movie Theater, that's
Bridgeway Cinema, they canceled the sessions last night because of
the water issue.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
Ah, they would rap unity, wouldn't I? Yes, how's our weather?

Speaker 15 (22:31):
Okay, we've got showers possibly heavy with thunderstorms and hail
west of the city this morning. You know what, she
just put buckets out there, shouldn't they.

nineteen away from sex News talk so'd But by the way,
the government announcing this morning because everyone you know, if
you need your hip done, needs your cataract done, needs
your year shoulder done.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
My grandma's pretty much had all of that done. I
spoke to the other days. She said, thank god, I've
only got two knees, Darling. I couldn't bear to have
another one of these operations. Anyway. Government announced the extra
elective surgeries that they promised, the ten thousand operations that
they promised by the end of June. Guess what they've
already hit close to ten thousand. Health Minister simm And

(23:42):
Brown says they were completed by the eleventh of May
and eight thousand, six hundred of them were outsourced to
private hospitals. And guess what when you go private it
happens eighteen to six stateside was Mitch McCann.

You know what's pretty impressive that we've got business is
right here in New Zealand who actually care about the
planet and are doing something real about it. And you
know who's leading the way in this ex bol yep,
the warmest feet in the world. People, you know them.
They've got something called the Expol Earth Initiative, and honestly,
it is quite an impressive thing. All seven of their
factories across the country are fitted with recycling machines, not

(24:19):
just for their own offcuts, but for waste collected from
building sites and even households across the country. They're recycling
over get this, five hundred tons of polystyring every year,
and they've set up recycling bins through building merchants nationwide
taking back packaging waste as well. That's one thousand cubic
meters of waste each month, roughly ten truck and trailer loads.

(24:41):
Even better, seventy five percent of their products now contain
recycled contents seventy five percent. So if you're building or
renovating and want to be kinder on the planet, go
to expol dot co dot NZ your home and the
environment will thank you.

MS McCann is in the States for US this morning.
Much the deal, well, I say deal, but it hasn't
been signed by the Chinese yet, but Trump's pretty warm
on it. The trade deal with China. Yeah, that's right.
Good morning to you. Ryan.

Speaker 17 (25:15):
It's interesting though Donald Trump has called this a deal,
but really it's a bit of a framework to continue
working on a deal down the road. So they've had
talks in London in the last couple of days, China
and the United States, and they've come up with this
framework to work together in the coming months while they
sought all these trade issues out. Now there are a
couple of things each side wants. The United States wants

(25:37):
these rare earth minerals from China. They're used for all
different types of things, are used in pars, for windshields
and magnets, they're also used in defense equipment. So Donald
Trump says, yes, they will get some of that. And
what China wanted was the United States to ease up
on the way it's treating Chinese international students. Donald Trump
says that will happen as well, but we don't have

(25:58):
a lot of detail around this. So there's one other
thing that China wants, and that is the US to
continue exporting semiconductor chips to China, which is really important
to China. But we don't know if that's going to happen.
So a lot of unclear sort of detail around US,
but Donald Trump's is a deal of some sort has done.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Yeah, and I suppose the most important thing is the
talking and Trump's saying, you know, our relationship is on
the men. Now the protest, what's going on? What's the latest?
Anything kicking off while we were sleeping?

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Not yet.

Speaker 17 (26:31):
We are expecting large protests again across a number of
US cities in the coming hours. It's only mid afternoon
here in the United States at the moment, but since Friday,
three hundred and thirty people have been arrested in Los Angeles,
more than two hundred and forty in San fran a
dozen in Austin, and there was about thirty people arrested
in New York last night. But this isn't just playing
out on the streets. It's also playing out online and

(26:53):
on TV between Donald Trump and the governor of California,
Gavin Newsom, who held us sort of national speech last
night that all the TV networks took live, and some
people are suggesting he might be using this as an
opportunity to position himself as the leader of the opposition
here in the US. Of course, their Democrats are in disarray.
They don't have a clear leader. Some are seeing this

(27:15):
as Gavin Newsom's chance to do that ahead of the
twenty twenty eight election.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
Good luck by having last time they ended a liberal
Californian governors as their party leader. Hey, thanks so much
much good to have you on the show. Mitch McCann,
our US correspondent, just gone twelve minutes away from six
Ryan Bridge, GEWE. Numbers out this morning show our food
and fiber exports on track to break even the last
records we set. Dairy export revenue up sixteen percent to

(27:41):
twenty seven billion record meet and wall up eight percent
twelve point three billion record, horticulture up nineteen percent to
eight point five billion on tract to hit sixty billion
total for the first time. This is for the year
ending during projections forecast from the Outlook for Primary Industries report.
Suma Katapeva is with US Meat Industry Associate Ation SUMER.
Good morning, Good morning. This is great news.

Speaker 11 (28:05):
Oh, it certainly is. It's very pleasing to see this
forecast uplift and eight percent is quite impressive to the
year in thirty June. So yeah, it's a good good
outlook for the sector and there's always you know, these
results reinforced that the red meat sector plays a really

(28:25):
crucial role in supporting New Zealand's economy, particularly in our
rural and regional community.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
Who's buying our meat, our locke.

Speaker 11 (28:34):
This year, we've seen the growth and value to most
of our major export markets. There's been robust demand for
New Zealand beef and she'd Meet from the United States,
a significant increase in she'd Meet volumes to the EU
and we're starting to see a good recovery and exports
to China as well.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Long may that continue because that's important obviously now one
of the things the government wants to do. And by
the way, the projection for sixty five billion by twenty
twenty nine means that this is expected to keep increasing.
But this idea that we will double the value of
exports in ten years, do you think it's doable?

Speaker 8 (29:11):
Oh?

Speaker 11 (29:12):
Look, I think it's a wonderful aspiration and from our perspective,
it is doable. We're doing all that we can to
lift the value of our products going into export markets.
We've got a robust strategy in place to do that
and we're working very closely to keep on top of

(29:32):
that and keep targeting our exports to those high performing
markets that are paying good export process.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
What would product what would be the thing getting in
the way. Is it just global demand and supply or
is there something in New Zealand. What's one thing the
government could do to make that job easier for you? Oh?

Speaker 11 (29:50):
Look, I think the government is later focused on supporting
the primary industry to grow and to continue to be
that economic engine for New Zealan. I've just been at
Field Days yesterday and the messages are really reassuring about
being right there next to the primary industries, helping them

(30:11):
to uplift productivity, value production, making sure that there are
no impediments, be they trade impediments or domestic regulatory impediments
that just add a necessary cost and frustration. So I
think the government is certainly focused on doing what it
can to support the growth of the spector.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
Sum I appreciate your time this morning that Suma Kuldipeva,
the Meat Industry Association couldn't name one thing the government
could do more So, clearly the regulation of the settings
are right now. We just need to go out and
do it. Double those exports. Eight to Sex News Talk,
SETB News and.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
Views you trust to start your day. It's earlier this
ship with Ryan Bridge and Expole Insulation keeping Kiwi homes,
Ward and Ray. This winter news talk said be She's.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
Get Saturday morning. Sorry, Thursday morning to six minutes away
from six o'clock. Some sad news this morning for Beach
Boys fans. The front Man co founder Brian Wilson has
died at the age of eighty two from California, legendary
voice inspiration for songs like this one and one hundred

(31:29):
million records sold by the band worldwide. In twenty twenty four,
it was announced that he was suffering from dementia. So
sad news that he has passed away. His family passing
that news on via social media this morning, aged eighty two,
Ryan Bridge, Mike is with us now. Good morning.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
Mike abused by his father's he that's why he claimed
to write happy songs to try and escape.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
Well, they certainly did that, and they stuck.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
A big sandbox under his piano when he wrote songs,
so he had his piano sandbox underneath. Feet in the sand,
wrote about California life. That's how it works.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
Well, he made us smile and he made us genius.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
Don was called him a genius. The I mean all
the good news? Have you covered the good news this morning?
Have you covered all the goods everything? Have you covered
everything about here? And what about active surgery numbers? You
covered the elected numbers?

Speaker 2 (32:18):
That's good. Have you covered it happens when you get
to a private entity to do something idea, it happens.
Have you ever.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
Understood the ideologic ideological problem people.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
Have with it? Well, that you take the doctors away,
the training, doctors away from the public.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
But I get but but you realize the doctor most
doctors work in the public and the private anyway, exactly,
there were spare capacity in the private.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Seat, so why not use that? I couldn't have done more.

Speaker 3 (32:43):
It's just it's the weirdest thing.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
What's more, Australia does seventy to eighty percent of their
elective surgeries are performed by the private sector.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
The public getting a hip replacement.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
What do you care?

Speaker 3 (32:54):
What's the matter?

Speaker 2 (32:55):
You don't care. You're thankful that you can walk.

Speaker 3 (32:57):
It's the weirdest thing.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
The wall.

Speaker 3 (32:59):
Have you covered the wall this morning?

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Do you know we did only news covered the wall.
We didn't quite get.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
You needed more comprehensive coverage with what we got an hour.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
That's why we spent a lot of time on food
and fiber.

Speaker 3 (33:10):
What a well food and fibers, I mean, what a story.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
That is great story.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
But I mean imagine if you're the agricultural trade minister
at the moment, wandering around field days. I mean that
they've been bright. They'll be passing you as you wandered between.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
Tractors, going to say pats on the back.

Speaker 3 (33:24):
Anyway, the decision is that all the state housing is
going to have wool carpet. So apparently it can be
done because the great argument has been wolves more expensive
and synthetic. Of course, apparently it can be done cost depictably,
so that's good for us as well.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
Good fire attachment very much.

Speaker 3 (33:39):
Country is on a roll with the money.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
No, it's going well, it seems to well, it doesn't
feel like that for everybody, but it is hitting in
the right.

Speaker 3 (33:44):
I believe that to be the case.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Anyway, more short, Mike with your next have a great day, everybody,
see you tomorrow, which is a Force.
