Speaker 1 (00:01):
The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
early edition with ex Pole insulation keeping Kiwi Holmes warm
and try this winter news talk said, be good.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Morning, it is six after five.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Welcome to the program.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
We will look at this new med school that's going
to be put up starting construction they say by the
end of the year in Waykanto.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
We'll look at that before six this morning. Donald Demo
out of.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Australia, the silver Ferns leave the door open a jar
to overseas based Kiwi players. We'll investigate that. Cameron Bagri
on the economy which is now running close to the
Arby and Z's band on inflation, and we will look
at new numbers out this morning on a four day
work week. If that sounds good to you on a
Tuesday morning. It's just gone seven after five. The Agenda
(00:46):
twenty second of July twenty five countries have released a
joint statement this morning condemning deaths in Gaza and accusing
Israel of drip feeding aid to civilians. Italy, France, the UK,
they're all on there, condemning the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, but
it's blaming the un.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
GHF was never meant to meet the needs of the
population alone.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
That is why we have routinely and.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
From the beginning, pushed for the UN and others to
operate alongside us in Gaza. There have been many, many
false reports that the UN is not allowed to operate
in Gaza. They and others have tens of thousands of
pallets of aid sitting inside Gaza, rotted just out of
reach of those who needed.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Ishiba, the Japanese Prime Minister, going nowhere despite his coalition
losing majority in the Upper House sent to right parties
governed Japan almost continuously since nineteen fifty five. Coalition needed
fifty seats, as we told you yesterday, to retain control
of the Upper Chamber.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
It ended up with forty seven.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
As President of the Liberal Democratic Party, I offer my
deepest and most sincere apologies.
Speaker 6 (01:52):
This is the war.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
We must take this result humbly and sincerely to.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
The US, the Trump administration, and Harvard University and a
square off in court today. This is in Boston over
the freezing of the two billion dollars in federal grants
to the university. This was the money that Trump froze
after deciding not to play ball when asked to make
changes to hiring, admissions and teaching practices.
Speaker 7 (02:15):
They argue that the government violated Administrative Procedure Act in
freezing this money. They're saying there's actually lives in place
that would allow an administration to fund to freeze funding
if there was an allegation of improper behavior.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
That's the first word on the News of the Day
early edition with Ryan Bridge and x Fole Insulation keeping
Kiwi Holmes warm and dry this winter news talk.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Sa'd be so, I suspect just gone nine minutes after
five nine two nine two is the number to text,
would love to hear from you this morning. I suspect
given that it's Tuesday morning, people might be feeling like, oh, yes,
I could go for a full day work week.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
That sounds lovely.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
And there are some studies out this mornings, numbers out
this morning that might please you. A four day work
week is linked to improved employee well being in job satisfaction.
This is according to one hundred and forty organizations that
have been surveyed across six countries, including New Zealand. Because
there's a couple of businesses here that have done it.
This is US and Irish research teams six months trials
(03:21):
involving three thousand employees at these organizations reduced their hours
to four days a week without getting a reduction in pay,
so you get same pay less time at work compared
with employees at twelve companies that didn't shorten their work weeks.
The work has reported improvements and burnout, job satisfaction, physical
(03:42):
and mental health sounds amazing. Productivity was measured. It's a
perception index. So you ask the employees do you feel
more productive? And they say yes, Well, of course you
would say that if if someone offers you a day
off a week and pays you the same money as
amount of money and says are you as productive? You're
just not. You know, you're not going to be truthful
(04:03):
about it, are you. What about the impact on the
bottom line, Well, the study doesn't tell us, you know,
do you just the business make as much money as
it did the week before.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Also, many of the businesses, when you look a bit closer,
who were part of the survey are not for profits
who don't care about profit, so it wouldn't be much
of a concern for them, and they were offering it
in lieu of higher salaries, so you know, we're a charity.
We can't afford to pay the big bucks, so we
will do a four day week, and you know your
(04:35):
salary might be a bit less. So I don't think
that's really a comparable example. Personally, nine two the number
to text. So the inflation number. We spoke about this
yesterday and your inflation up two point seven percent for June.
Your rates, as we predicted yesterday, have gone up and
led the charge. But there's housing, there's electricity, there's food,
(04:57):
all of these things. It's up from two point four percent,
much lower than the two point eight percent that the
economists were predicting. Tradable inflation was up one point two percent,
whereas two one point two percent non tradable inflation that's
your domestic stuff, that fell to three point seven percent.
We'll get Cameron Baggery's view on this. How long will
(05:17):
it be? This is the question most people ask me.
How long until we start to feel rich again? You know,
there was a thing in Westpac put out there weekly
release a couple of weeks ago now and it said
that in the last year our disposable income had only
gone up zero point nine percent in a year. Now,
that doesn't feel great. And I think that's why people
(05:39):
are feeling the way that they're feeling out there today.
Cameron Baggery.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Next on your radio and online on Iheard Radio Early
Edition with Ryan Bridge and x Fole Insulation keeping Kiwi
Holmes warm and dry. This winter news talks.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
A'd be into the.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Silver ferns just gone fourteen after five, the silver ferns
and the fact that they're going to allow foreign based
on overseas based keys to play in the team shortly
right now. Inflation two point seven cent yesterday. It is
close to the top end of the Reserve Banks target
Council rates were your main driver. Also, you saw increases
in rents, electricity, food. Most think it'll come down, so
(06:17):
shouldn't stop the RBNZ from their cutting cycle. Cameron Baggery's
independent economists with me this morning. Cameron, good morning, Oh,
good morning?
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Hey? Is it just me?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Is it just winter? Everyone feels a little bit miserable
out there? When do we start to feel better about things?
Speaker 6 (06:34):
Do you think, Well, the economy slowly turning the corner,
but we're coming out in a mighty economic hole. And
it looks like on the gross steaks we might have
stopped for a David Longi a cup of tea and
the j cord because growth doesn't look like it was
flashed them. But the main recession period was the middle
(06:55):
of twenty twenty four, the December quarter twenty twenty four
Arts quarter twenty twenty five. We've got positive growth, so
we're moving in the right direction. But if you look
at the level of GDP, we're still well below where
we we're twelve months ago. So once again, Ryan, we're
getting out of a hole, but we're still in a
bit of a hole.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
And you know, we keep talking about wages are going
faster than inflation, so people are feeling richer.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
I mean, I'm mute to meet someone who.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Says that, But these are all averages. I mean, is
there a reason why? Can we explain why people are
feeling this way?
Speaker 6 (07:35):
Well, this is a different economic downturn to what we've
seen for a long time. Yeah, it's been pretty deep.
The economy has not just got what's called sickle damage,
i e. The Reserve Bank beat the economy up in
order to get rid of inflation. There's some pretty big
structural it's just going on. At the same time, we've
got massive problems across the educasency, infrastructure, productivity growth them.
(08:00):
This economy used to be one point four percent on
average per year. It's now down at zero point three percent,
which is basically zippo. So a little wonder that people
want to hit out the seas and go to Australia
because productivity growth is a fundamental driver of wage growth.
If you're not getting productivity growth or don't expect to
see too much wage growth on the other side. So
it's the combination of that, the cyclical downturn that we've
(08:22):
been through, the combination with there's a whole lot of
structural issues that we still need to address. So this
economic recovery, while it's underway, it's going to take a
little bit of time before people start to get into
that happy zone.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
How low do you think the r being zen is
going to go and end by win?
Speaker 6 (08:40):
I think they might have another twenty five up their sleeve.
The official castraight around three percent, you know. Three percent
for thefecial castrat is what's called the neutral ocia. That's
where the reserve bent's neither got the foot and accelerator
or the break. That's broadly where they need to be.
It's the Reserve Bank on holiday. If you're looking at growth,
(09:00):
you would say be saying the official cashret is going
sub three percent. Now that headline inflation is moving up,
and I know yesterday's number was marginally better expect than expectations,
but it's still moving up. Economically sensitive parts of the
economy such as constructions such as housing, the Reserve Bank
is exerting a pretty damping impact on You can't pass
(09:24):
on price increases, but the whole lot of administrative charges.
There's elocricity prices that are moving up, food prices are
moving up. Next quarter, we're going to see local authority
rates that are going to be moving up. Now that's
going to add I suspect a little bit of inflation persistence.
So it may well be I suspect inflation is going
to settle up around two and a half, which is
not two percent, which is what the Reserve Bank's startling.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah, Cameron, appreciate that. Thanks for your analysis this morning,
Cameron Bagri. Independent Economists Time now is eighteen minutes after
five nine two nine two. The numbers text Ryan. The
four day weeks are usually ten hour days. This is
coming from a pet food company and hastings that do it.
No Reeb's here, says Sarah. So basically, you work longer
hours that you're doing fewer days. Would you prefer that? Ryan,
(10:07):
it's cold and windy on my kayak this morning, says Richard.
I'll feel better when the sun comes up. Richard, What
are you doing.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Out on the kayak at this time?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
If somebody if you fall in the water and get
yourself in trouble. It's dark.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Should you be kayaking in the dark. I don't know.
Maybe that's fine. Enjoy your morning, Richard.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
It's eighteen minutes half to five talk silver Ferns getting
Maybe this is part of the problem.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
The brain drain is happening.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
All the athletes are moving overseas, so you need to
change your eligibility criteria to get them in the Silver Ferns.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
News and Views you trust to start your day. It's
earlier this ship with Ryan Bridge at ex Bowl Insulation Keeping,
Kiwi homes Ward and Dray this winter.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
News Talk, said B five twenty one on news Talk
said B. New Zealand's netball team is about to get
a serious upgrade. The Netball New Zealand Border is voted
to update its eligibility criteria.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
This is for Silvers.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
It means that if you are an overseas based athlete
you can still play for the national team. This is
a text from one of our listeners this morning, Ryan.
No coincidence that Netball New Zealand have changed the goalpost
this year since they lost their best goal shooting Grace
Noiki to the Aussie League and won't let her be
eligible for selection here. She's also not eligible for Australia.
(11:21):
It's a no brainer. Joining me this morning is Margaret Foster,
former Silver Fern and former coach of the Canterbury Fames
and the Southern steel Margaret, good morning, Good morning. So
what do you make of this change?
Speaker 8 (11:34):
Well, yay, of course, yeah, without a doubt. I mean,
you know rips in your country. You need to have
your best athletes surely, regardless of where they're playing in
the world. And yeah, no, I think it's brilliant.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
What is the what was the rationale? Was it to
build a better you know depth here in New Zealand?
Speaker 3 (11:56):
What was it?
Speaker 8 (11:57):
Well, originally it was I don't know if you remember,
but back in the day when Laura Langman was over
in Australia playing and she was not eligible to be
in the New Zealand team or to make the World
Cup team, and they kind of had to do an
exception for her. Back then, I think it was really
about trying to build our base and ensure that our
(12:21):
athletes were staying here in the country to play netball.
But it just look, you need to if you want
to be playing like top level netball. The best competition
is in Australia at the moment.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Does this potentially make that situation worse in a way
by making their competition stronger?
Speaker 3 (12:44):
If you know, if you don't need to be in.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
New Zealand to play for the Silver Ferns, then I
suppose why would you.
Speaker 8 (12:50):
Yeah, well, at the end of the grow that that
competition over in Australia has got all the top athletes,
so you know, so your weekend leak out playing with
the best and against the best, Like you know, you've
got the Jamaicans, You've got the English, you've got the
South Africans are all all the top athletes are over
(13:12):
there playing, so you know, it can only actually make
you a better athletes as well, and then you can
come back and represent your country and bring in that
wonderful form that you've got from playing as an.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Level the club teams. Do we have a competition that's
you know Trans Tasman.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
No.
Speaker 8 (13:32):
And that's the biggest thing is that we really need
to to get back into that competition over in Australia,
like you know, it's that's that's our biggest thing. I think,
you know, like we've we've trialed, we've gone our separate
ways and it doesn't really work if you're looking if
you're looking at the product that we've got here in
New Zealand.
Speaker 9 (13:55):
I just don't know.
Speaker 8 (13:56):
I just think it's it would be like much better
if we try to get back into that competition.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yeah, it sounds like we would all benefit from it.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Mag Thank you.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
That's Margaret Foster, a former Silver Fern, former Canterbury Fames
and Southern Steel coach, talking on the change to the
eligibility criteria for from Netball NZ for the Silver Ferns.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Be good news for any you know, hot not hot,
I mean late impressive netballers who are living overseas in
Australia right now, including Grace and Riki. Twenty five minutes
after five here on News Talks ZVB. Coming up next,
we'll talk about Waikato Med School the funding. So we
(14:41):
were going to be on the hook for two hundred
and eighty million, now it's only eighty What gives?
Speaker 1 (14:46):
The early edition Full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by
NEWSTALKSB News Talks MB.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
It is twenty seven minutes after five.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Should we be a little worried this morning about the
business of business cases? David Siemil from ACT kicked up
of USS about the Wycutter University Doctors School cost. He
said the cost was out of whack based on a
poor quality business case.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
And he seems to have been proven correct, does he not?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Why else would the cost of the taxpayer have shrunk
from two hundred and eighty million dollars to eighty million
dollars a two hundred million dollar saving if he was right?
And he's one guy at the cabinet table. How many
other business cases don't stack up? There's an entire lucrative
business case industry in Wellington. Some of the workers don't
(15:33):
in house by government departments, of course, but much of
it is outsourced to the private sector. Can we trust
these reports? MB had a business case train wreck A
few years back.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
You might remember this.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
They were calculating the benefits of hosting events like the
World Dance Championships, and questions from the media, they went
back and redid their sums, realized they had been incorrectly
calculating the cost benefit analyses of events for two years.
More than a dozen applications had to be fixed. We've
(16:04):
recently had scraps over the benefits of four laning two
fun today. And this is a problem because if we
can't trust the numbers we're basing decisions on, then how
can we make proper decisions. I hope the Wycotter UNI
Med School is a success. They say it'll train in
extra one hundred and twenty doctors a year. That sounds fantastic,
but there are three signs this is a risk of
(16:24):
becoming a white elephant project for the government. One other
UNI say they could have done it cheaper. Two Wycauter
UNI has tons of its own money and the ability
to tap into debt. Why aren't they funding it? And
three the business case was clearly a bit shonky to
begin with.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Brian te twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
After five year on news talks, b we talked to
the Association of salaried medical specialists after just before six o'clock,
I should say this morning for their reaction to this.
I mean, if you could funnel the money to existing
you know, to Otago and Auckland and get the same outcome,
then why wouldn't you do it? I guess that's the question.
We'll talk to them just before six o'clock. Come out
(17:03):
next to our reporters around the country and Donald de
Mayo is out of Australia for us this morning.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Brian Bridge on early edition with ex bowl Insulation keeping
Kiwi owns warm and try this winter news Talks.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
It'd be good morning.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
It is twenty four away from Sex on news Talks.
It'd be Donald Demyo out of Australia. Shortly we'll talk
to Sarah Dalton. This is from the Association of Salary
Medical Specialists. How do they think the doctor training is
going to happen at go down at Waikato University. The
construction due to start on this project, by the way,
by Christmas. Now it is a big ten week on
Wall Street this week record gains already to start the week.
(18:03):
The S and P five hundred up point six percent.
The Nasdaq arepero point seven percent they reached earlier in
the day's trading new intra day highs. So things are
going well on Wall Street at the moment. And we've
got big companies reporting this week. Alphabet which owns Google,
is reporting this week. Tesla will kick off the Results
seven results season for the Magnificent seven, which is your
(18:25):
big tech companies, So big Tech week on Wall Street,
and they are expecting big things by the way of
those companies that have so far reported in this is
reporting season, and above average, eighty three percent of American
firms posted earnings per year higher than expected, So eighty
three percent have done better than what they were expected
(18:45):
to do and that bodes well for a Trump economy.
You have to say at this point, isn't it twenty three.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Away from six Ryan Bridge Culum proc.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
To our reporter and to Needin this morning, Colm, Good morning, morning, right,
good have you here now? Our South Tonedin community making
its message clear it wants change.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
What's that about? This is sold ship.
Speaker 10 (19:07):
Future of South Adaptation and flood Prevention.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Monitor To come back to Cullum.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I think he's having a few issues with this line
South to Edin's the flooding of course, Claire Suward is
in christ We'll go to Clear first Clear.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Christich City Council's got this.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Report on election issues. I know when I read this,
I thought, is that not up to the voters to
decide what the election issues are?
Speaker 8 (19:30):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (19:30):
Well, good question, Ryan. Look the council has put out
a report saying, look, these are the big issues and
this is what's going to be discussed. The idea of
this report is to offer key insights into the city,
apparently ahead of the local elections, which of course are
in October. This council report details basically these strategic, financial
and governance issues that council is dealing with at the moment.
(19:52):
The Chief Executive, Mary Richardson, says the idea is to
present a clear picture to in which basically to explain
the environment in which future council decisions need to be made.
She says, since the quakes, especially christ Church has re
emerged as a resilient and forward focused urban center, and
the next council will play a very important role in
continuing momentum. Candidate nominations for anyone wanting to put their
(20:17):
name in the hat for a run will close next Friday.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
All right, how's your weather today, Claire.
Speaker 11 (20:22):
Not so cold this morning. We'll clear too fine, A
bit of frost expected later tonight, a southwesterlies and a
high of eleven.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Nice one. Thank you, have a good day.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
And Callum is with us from Dunedin back with us,
I should say Callum. The South didan community sharing a
clear message it wants to change about what.
Speaker 10 (20:40):
This is about the South and Eden's futures program, the
climate adaptation and flood prevention options that have been presented
to the community, and more than twelve hundred individuals and
organizations have already shared their views on what they think
is the best future option for South Dinedan. There were
seven options, ranging from the status quo to large scale retreat.
(21:01):
A seventy three percent of respondents ryan so keeping the
status quo is going in the wrong direction. Fifty nine
percent agree more space for waterways in wetlands is the
right direction. The hidden the Council says survey shows people
do want action and there is now a strong mandate
to move beyond the status quo. A final plan is
scheduled for completion by the end of next year.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
All right, how's your weather?
Speaker 10 (21:24):
Freezing and frosty and foggy as well, so flights early
flights already delayed or canceled out as to need an airport.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
But a fine day today in a high of twelve brilliant.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Thank you Max and Wellington Max. This is the Candala
Mum daughter murder trial. There is summing up today.
Speaker 9 (21:41):
Yeah, the Candalah murder trial. Fifty three year older Julia
Delooney on trial for killing her elderly mother in a
fit of ragel She contends someone broke in and bashed
Helen Gregory without robbing her of her precious belongings. The
crown case being that Deluney tried to stage the scene
to look like an accidental fall from the attic Dealoney
had money problems. She'd invested far, far too much in crypto,
(22:04):
for instance, and likely stole the last of her mother's
savings just to focus on The defense case though, which
summed up at the Wellington High Court yesterday. It claims
seemingly mundane actions like Deloney taking out a rubbish bag
after the death, receiving cash deposits in the weeks prior
leaving and returning to the scene, these have all been
(22:25):
twisted the defense claims by police to look suspicious, but
no intruder on the CCTV valuable. Still, their suggestive evidence
of theft, Deloney's fates will soon lie in the jury's hands.
How's your weather, max cloudy this morning, clearing this afternoon
eleven the high nice one, Thank you, Hey Neva, good morning,
good morning. So we spoke about the RSA. They've hit
(22:47):
the now illegal challenged from the rebelling clubs.
Speaker 12 (22:51):
Yes it's right. So news Talk ZDB obtained an augurand
district newsletter revealing that some of the clubs is seeking
a judicial High Court review. Now they allege the process
to change the National Bodies Constitution in April is unlawful
and they want it reversed. Obviously, this follows the National
irisass spending eighteen defaulting clubs accusing some of deliberately holding
(23:13):
fees the annual fees. So Chief Executive Evan Williams he's
confirming that a group of Auckland based clubs they want
the changes to undergo a judicial review, and he says
they had disappointed the sections being taken.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Boitiness friendly fined you could say and signed dow say, Hey,
what's what's happening with our weather today?

(23:59):
in about a Tiger universities claim that it could have
done the same number of students but for cheaper, like
this from Mark Ryan. If it's old mate Grant Robertson
doing the numbers for Otagian University saying they could have
done it cheaper, I'd be inclined to not believe them
and go with y Kato. Seventeen away from six. You

Sarah Doulton on the med School shortly right now, Donald
Mayo out of Australia, Donna, good morning, Good morning to
you tell us Parliament resuming for the first time since
the election, what's the Prime Minister had to say?
Speaker 13 (25:50):
I well, this must maintain its sense of discipline as
they held back the same discipline they held during the
government's first term. Mind you, we'll mention that there's a
Labor senator, Charlotte Walker, who turned twenty one on election day,
so there's some pretty young fresh faces heading to Canberra today.
(26:11):
But Albo says, don't let the majority get to your heads.
Mind you, it's a ninety four seat majority, quite huge
as you can imagine. He says, don't take the job
for granted. And he says that if Labor members keep
their discipline, there's no reason why the MPs won't be
returned to the next parliament as well. So there's a
showing a little bit of confidence there. He says, the
(26:34):
caucus must repay the faith to voters.
Speaker 8 (26:36):
Now.
Speaker 13 (26:36):
His priority will be his government's priority to swipe student
debt by twenty percent, reform childcare and ensriying penalty rates.
We also heard from the Opposition leader, of course, Susan Lee,
who told the party room let's be ready to take
up the fight to labor. I will mention. On another matter,
it was interesting to know what Labor was going to do.
(26:56):
There was some chat about the fact that the photo
of former Labor leader Mark Latham was still on the
wall at Parliament. So the wall, yes, the photo is
going to stay, but the words have been added. In
twenty seventeen, Mark Latham was expelled from the Labor Party
and banned for life his actions do not accord with
(27:17):
Labour's values. Mark Latham to this day has denied any
allegations of emotional and physical abuse of his ex partner.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
All right, and this Victorian farmer banned for owning cattle
after some quite shocking animal abuse.
Speaker 13 (27:30):
Yes, I won't go into too much detail because it's
really quite distressing. This is a thirty three year old
from a regional area in Victoria called Colak. He cannot
be a cattle farmer for ten years. He's been fined
seventy five thousand dollars pleaded guilty to seventy two offenses
in relation to cruelty neglect. Now he's a well known
bloke in the district, a local amateur footballer. But the
(27:51):
court was told in graphic detail that the cattle had
suffered greatly they were found dead or dying from emaciation,
disease or dehydration. One hundred and seventy animals were found
dead on the property.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
All right, Donald willieve out there. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Donald are Australia correspondent is eleven away from six ran Bread.
So the government's given the green light a new medical
school at the University of Waikato. Doors will open twenty
twenty eight a starting role of one hundred and twenty
students a year. Eighty two million bucks. That's how much
we pay down from two hundred and eighty million dollars
which was previously promised at the election from National Sarah
(28:25):
Dalton's the executive director of the Association of Salary Medical
Specialist Sarah. Good morning, Good morning, Ryan, How are you
doing very well?
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
The government says we will get more rural doctors and
gps out of doing this at Wayicuto University. What stops
you from you know, once you do your studies, how
do you decide or are there rules about where you.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Must go next.
Speaker 14 (28:49):
It's just every new graduate doctor has to do two
years practical work. Generally in hospitals, they're the ones known
as house officers before they get their general registration with
the Medical Council, So no doctor emerging from university has
any specialty. They might think they know that they want
to be a rural doctor or a surgeon, or an
(29:11):
anethetist or a psychiatrist or a GP, but they have
to do this two years and then they will continue
on as a registrar, choose a training program with one
of the colleges, and once they emerge from that training
program five to ten years later, they will be a specialist. So,
you know, everyone might hope that more people who go
(29:33):
to this new medical school will be gps or rural
hospital medicine specialists, but we can't guarantee that. The bottom line,
and this is the good news, is that the more
doctors we train, the more doctors will have And actually
the highest proportions of any single specialist group registered with
the Medical Council now are gps. So it stands to
(29:54):
reason that the more we train, the more GPS will get.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Do we know of the doctor that we currently train,
how many of them end up overseas?
Speaker 14 (30:04):
I don't personally know their statistic.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
But because is there a risk that we train these
people and then they bugger off?
Speaker 14 (30:11):
Oh, There is absolutely that risk. But there is a
side of the coin, which is make the terms and
conditions to stay here, make it make it easier to
stay here, make it better to stay here, Guarantee them jobs,
make sure they're earning good money. We've got a real
problem with Australian doctors earning so much more than they
can possibly.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
How much How much do you mean, because I mean
I've seen some of those specialist rates and I've had
friends have moved for these rates and they're double what
what you know? Do we need to double what you realistically?
Speaker 14 (30:44):
Yeah, if you're talking senior doctors, obviously we because we
deal with salary doctors. So if we just make that comparison.
In Australian they have a state system. So the state
we adoptors earn the least current is New South Wales.
Our specialist scale starts at step one, goes all awaut
(31:05):
step fifteen. So after fifteen years a doctor here will
be at the top of our specialist scale. And in Australia,
in their first year they can earn more than our
step fifteen, which so you can go to Australia and
earn more in your first year, then you can earn.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Yeah, in your fifteen Sarah, that is that is quite
a number. Sarah Doll's and an executive director of the
Association of Salaried Medical Specialists.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Eight minutes away from six, So.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
We train them, I mean, you've got to train them,
because that's what you have to do. But then what
happens after that? Are we willing to happy to let
them go for our eighty million dollar sunk investment?
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Seven away from six?
Speaker 1 (31:48):
The news you need this morning and the in depth
analysis earlier this year with Ryan Bridge and ex Bowl
Insulation keeping Kiwi homes warm and dry this winter news talks,
he'd been some news talks.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
The BG, the anti helicopter lobby activist groups are quite determined,
aren't they. This is Ali Williams and Animobra wanting the
chople to land at their house. They got the green
light and now the quiet Sky White and Matar who's
the group leading the anti helicopter brigade. They filed an
appeal in the Environment Court. So yes, it's going to
(32:21):
the Environment Court now. And Mike Lee, who's an Autland counselor,
he's going to bring a notice of motion this week
to ban helicopters and residential areas full stop. So counsel
is actually going to vote on a chopper ban five
to six. Bryan Bridge, Mike's here now, Hey, Mike morning,
And we wonder why we've got problems in this country.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
I mean, we can't land the Well, the problem is.
Speaker 15 (32:44):
They had a process and nobody participated in that process
more than those people who are going to the Environment Court.
There were fourteen hundred submissions, and most of those people
didn't even live in Auckland.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
And didn't talk about the environmental impacts, but rather about
wealthy people.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
About wealthy people they talk they did.
Speaker 15 (33:01):
They did have some worries about some birds and some nesting,
and I thought the commissioners, the Independent Commissioners, were that
they said, there's nothing inherently unurban about a.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Helicopter, which is what this group is saying. It's mad
that you can compare it to a biker or a
car basically a permitted activity.
Speaker 15 (33:19):
Well, I think they did compare it to a biker
a car. But if you look at the numbers in
that case, I mean there's sixty landing permits in way Hecki.
Now the reason for that is just outside of all
it's an Island.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Yes, so you need one.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
So there's that, and there's.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
The rest of all.
Speaker 15 (33:32):
There's about three or four. I mean, we're not all
going out to buy a halicopter now to land in
our backyard.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
If you lived next door to one, mic.
Speaker 15 (33:39):
Yeah ins and you had your opportunity to have you
all say you know and what do you do?
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Well, there's medical school this morning, all.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Right, look for Mike is here next See tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
For more from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge. Listen live
to News Talks. It'd be from five am weekdays, or
follow the podcast on iHeartRadio.
The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
early edition with ex Pole insulation keeping Kiwi Holmes warm
and try this winter news talk said, be good.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Morning, it is six after five.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Welcome to the program.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
We will look at this new med school that's going
to be put up starting construction they say by the
end of the year in Waykanto.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
We'll look at that before six this morning. Donald Demo

Australia, the silver Ferns leave the door open a jar
to overseas based Kiwi players. We'll investigate that. Cameron Bagri
on the economy which is now running close to the
Arby and Z's band on inflation, and we will look
at new numbers out this morning on a four day
work week. If that sounds good to you on a
Tuesday morning. It's just gone seven after five. The Agenda
(00:46):
twenty second of July twenty five countries have released a
joint statement this morning condemning deaths in Gaza and accusing
Israel of drip feeding aid to civilians. Italy, France, the UK,
they're all on there, condemning the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, but
it's blaming the un.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
GHF was never meant to meet the needs of the
population alone.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
That is why we have routinely and.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
From the beginning, pushed for the UN and others to
operate alongside us in Gaza. There have been many, many
false reports that the UN is not allowed to operate
in Gaza. They and others have tens of thousands of
pallets of aid sitting inside Gaza, rotted just out of
reach of those who needed.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Ishiba, the Japanese Prime Minister, going nowhere despite his coalition
losing majority in the Upper House sent to right parties
governed Japan almost continuously since nineteen fifty five. Coalition needed
fifty seats, as we told you yesterday, to retain control
of the Upper Chamber.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
It ended up with forty seven.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
As President of the Liberal Democratic Party, I offer my
deepest and most sincere apologies.
Speaker 6 (01:52):
This is the war.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
We must take this result humbly and sincerely to.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
The US, the Trump administration, and Harvard University and a
square off in court today. This is in Boston over
the freezing of the two billion dollars in federal grants
to the university. This was the money that Trump froze
after deciding not to play ball when asked to make
changes to hiring, admissions and teaching practices.
Speaker 7 (02:15):
They argue that the government violated Administrative Procedure Act in
freezing this money. They're saying there's actually lives in place
that would allow an administration to fund to freeze funding
if there was an allegation of improper behavior.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
That's the first word on the News of the Day
early edition with Ryan Bridge and x Fole Insulation keeping
Kiwi Holmes warm and dry this winter news talk.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Sa'd be so, I suspect just gone nine minutes after
five nine two nine two is the number to text,
would love to hear from you this morning. I suspect
given that it's Tuesday morning, people might be feeling like, oh, yes,
I could go for a full day work week.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
That sounds lovely.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
And there are some studies out this mornings, numbers out
this morning that might please you. A four day work
week is linked to improved employee well being in job satisfaction.
This is according to one hundred and forty organizations that
have been surveyed across six countries, including New Zealand. Because
there's a couple of businesses here that have done it.
This is US and Irish research teams six months trials
(03:21):
involving three thousand employees at these organizations reduced their hours
to four days a week without getting a reduction in pay,
so you get same pay less time at work compared
with employees at twelve companies that didn't shorten their work weeks.
The work has reported improvements and burnout, job satisfaction, physical
(03:42):
and mental health sounds amazing. Productivity was measured. It's a
perception index. So you ask the employees do you feel
more productive? And they say yes, Well, of course you
would say that if if someone offers you a day
off a week and pays you the same money as
amount of money and says are you as productive? You're
just not. You know, you're not going to be truthful
(04:03):
about it, are you. What about the impact on the
bottom line, Well, the study doesn't tell us, you know,
do you just the business make as much money as
it did the week before.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Also, many of the businesses, when you look a bit closer,
who were part of the survey are not for profits
who don't care about profit, so it wouldn't be much
of a concern for them, and they were offering it
in lieu of higher salaries, so you know, we're a charity.
We can't afford to pay the big bucks, so we
will do a four day week, and you know your
(04:35):
salary might be a bit less. So I don't think
that's really a comparable example. Personally, nine two the number
to text. So the inflation number. We spoke about this
yesterday and your inflation up two point seven percent for June.
Your rates, as we predicted yesterday, have gone up and
led the charge. But there's housing, there's electricity, there's food,
(04:57):
all of these things. It's up from two point four percent,
much lower than the two point eight percent that the
economists were predicting. Tradable inflation was up one point two percent,
whereas two one point two percent non tradable inflation that's
your domestic stuff, that fell to three point seven percent.
We'll get Cameron Baggery's view on this. How long will
(05:17):
it be? This is the question most people ask me.
How long until we start to feel rich again? You know,
there was a thing in Westpac put out there weekly
release a couple of weeks ago now and it said
that in the last year our disposable income had only
gone up zero point nine percent in a year. Now,
that doesn't feel great. And I think that's why people
(05:39):
are feeling the way that they're feeling out there today.
Cameron Baggery.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Next on your radio and online on Iheard Radio Early
Edition with Ryan Bridge and x Fole Insulation keeping Kiwi
Holmes warm and dry. This winter news talks.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
A'd be into the.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Silver ferns just gone fourteen after five, the silver ferns
and the fact that they're going to allow foreign based
on overseas based keys to play in the team shortly
right now. Inflation two point seven cent yesterday. It is
close to the top end of the Reserve Banks target
Council rates were your main driver. Also, you saw increases
in rents, electricity, food. Most think it'll come down, so
(06:17):
shouldn't stop the RBNZ from their cutting cycle. Cameron Baggery's
independent economists with me this morning. Cameron, good morning, Oh,
good morning?
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Hey? Is it just me?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Is it just winter? Everyone feels a little bit miserable
out there? When do we start to feel better about things?
Speaker 6 (06:34):
Do you think, Well, the economy slowly turning the corner,
but we're coming out in a mighty economic hole. And
it looks like on the gross steaks we might have
stopped for a David Longi a cup of tea and
the j cord because growth doesn't look like it was
flashed them. But the main recession period was the middle
(06:55):
of twenty twenty four, the December quarter twenty twenty four
Arts quarter twenty twenty five. We've got positive growth, so
we're moving in the right direction. But if you look
at the level of GDP, we're still well below where
we we're twelve months ago. So once again, Ryan, we're
getting out of a hole, but we're still in a
bit of a hole.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
And you know, we keep talking about wages are going
faster than inflation, so people are feeling richer.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
I mean, I'm mute to meet someone who.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Says that, But these are all averages. I mean, is
there a reason why? Can we explain why people are
feeling this way?
Speaker 6 (07:35):
Well, this is a different economic downturn to what we've
seen for a long time. Yeah, it's been pretty deep.
The economy has not just got what's called sickle damage,
i e. The Reserve Bank beat the economy up in
order to get rid of inflation. There's some pretty big
structural it's just going on. At the same time, we've
got massive problems across the educasency, infrastructure, productivity growth them.
(08:00):
This economy used to be one point four percent on
average per year. It's now down at zero point three percent,
which is basically zippo. So a little wonder that people
want to hit out the seas and go to Australia
because productivity growth is a fundamental driver of wage growth.
If you're not getting productivity growth or don't expect to
see too much wage growth on the other side. So
it's the combination of that, the cyclical downturn that we've
(08:22):
been through, the combination with there's a whole lot of
structural issues that we still need to address. So this
economic recovery, while it's underway, it's going to take a
little bit of time before people start to get into
that happy zone.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
How low do you think the r being zen is
going to go and end by win?
Speaker 6 (08:40):
I think they might have another twenty five up their sleeve.
The official castraight around three percent, you know. Three percent
for thefecial castrat is what's called the neutral ocia. That's
where the reserve bent's neither got the foot and accelerator
or the break. That's broadly where they need to be.
It's the Reserve Bank on holiday. If you're looking at growth,
(09:00):
you would say be saying the official cashret is going
sub three percent. Now that headline inflation is moving up,
and I know yesterday's number was marginally better expect than expectations,
but it's still moving up. Economically sensitive parts of the
economy such as constructions such as housing, the Reserve Bank
is exerting a pretty damping impact on You can't pass
(09:24):
on price increases, but the whole lot of administrative charges.
There's elocricity prices that are moving up, food prices are
moving up. Next quarter, we're going to see local authority
rates that are going to be moving up. Now that's
going to add I suspect a little bit of inflation persistence.
So it may well be I suspect inflation is going
to settle up around two and a half, which is
not two percent, which is what the Reserve Bank's startling.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah, Cameron, appreciate that. Thanks for your analysis this morning,
Cameron Bagri. Independent Economists Time now is eighteen minutes after
five nine two nine two. The numbers text Ryan. The
four day weeks are usually ten hour days. This is
coming from a pet food company and hastings that do it.
No Reeb's here, says Sarah. So basically, you work longer
hours that you're doing fewer days. Would you prefer that? Ryan,
(10:07):
it's cold and windy on my kayak this morning, says Richard.
I'll feel better when the sun comes up. Richard, What
are you doing.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Out on the kayak at this time?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
If somebody if you fall in the water and get
yourself in trouble. It's dark.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Should you be kayaking in the dark. I don't know.
Maybe that's fine. Enjoy your morning, Richard.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
It's eighteen minutes half to five talk silver Ferns getting
Maybe this is part of the problem.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
The brain drain is happening.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
All the athletes are moving overseas, so you need to
change your eligibility criteria to get them in the Silver Ferns.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
News and Views you trust to start your day. It's
earlier this ship with Ryan Bridge at ex Bowl Insulation Keeping,
Kiwi homes Ward and Dray this winter.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
News Talk, said B five twenty one on news Talk
said B. New Zealand's netball team is about to get
a serious upgrade. The Netball New Zealand Border is voted
to update its eligibility criteria.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
This is for Silvers.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
It means that if you are an overseas based athlete
you can still play for the national team. This is
a text from one of our listeners this morning, Ryan.
No coincidence that Netball New Zealand have changed the goalpost
this year since they lost their best goal shooting Grace
Noiki to the Aussie League and won't let her be
eligible for selection here. She's also not eligible for Australia.
(11:21):
It's a no brainer. Joining me this morning is Margaret Foster,
former Silver Fern and former coach of the Canterbury Fames
and the Southern steel Margaret, good morning, Good morning. So
what do you make of this change?
Speaker 8 (11:34):
Well, yay, of course, yeah, without a doubt. I mean,
you know rips in your country. You need to have
your best athletes surely, regardless of where they're playing in
the world. And yeah, no, I think it's brilliant.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
What is the what was the rationale? Was it to
build a better you know depth here in New Zealand?
Speaker 3 (11:56):
What was it?
Speaker 8 (11:57):
Well, originally it was I don't know if you remember,
but back in the day when Laura Langman was over
in Australia playing and she was not eligible to be
in the New Zealand team or to make the World
Cup team, and they kind of had to do an
exception for her. Back then, I think it was really
about trying to build our base and ensure that our
(12:21):
athletes were staying here in the country to play netball.
But it just look, you need to if you want
to be playing like top level netball. The best competition
is in Australia at the moment.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Does this potentially make that situation worse in a way
by making their competition stronger?
Speaker 3 (12:44):
If you know, if you don't need to be in.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
New Zealand to play for the Silver Ferns, then I
suppose why would you.
Speaker 8 (12:50):
Yeah, well, at the end of the grow that that
competition over in Australia has got all the top athletes,
so you know, so your weekend leak out playing with
the best and against the best, Like you know, you've
got the Jamaicans, You've got the English, you've got the
South Africans are all all the top athletes are over
(13:12):
there playing, so you know, it can only actually make
you a better athletes as well, and then you can
come back and represent your country and bring in that
wonderful form that you've got from playing as an.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Level the club teams. Do we have a competition that's
you know Trans Tasman.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
No.
Speaker 8 (13:32):
And that's the biggest thing is that we really need
to to get back into that competition over in Australia,
like you know, it's that's that's our biggest thing. I think,
you know, like we've we've trialed, we've gone our separate
ways and it doesn't really work if you're looking if
you're looking at the product that we've got here in
New Zealand.
Speaker 9 (13:55):
I just don't know.
Speaker 8 (13:56):
I just think it's it would be like much better
if we try to get back into that competition.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yeah, it sounds like we would all benefit from it.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Mag Thank you.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
That's Margaret Foster, a former Silver Fern, former Canterbury Fames
and Southern Steel coach, talking on the change to the
eligibility criteria for from Netball NZ for the Silver Ferns.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Be good news for any you know, hot not hot,
I mean late impressive netballers who are living overseas in
Australia right now, including Grace and Riki. Twenty five minutes
after five here on News Talks ZVB. Coming up next,
we'll talk about Waikato Med School the funding. So we
(14:41):
were going to be on the hook for two hundred
and eighty million, now it's only eighty What gives?
Speaker 1 (14:46):
The early edition Full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by
NEWSTALKSB News Talks MB.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
It is twenty seven minutes after five.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Should we be a little worried this morning about the
business of business cases? David Siemil from ACT kicked up
of USS about the Wycutter University Doctors School cost. He
said the cost was out of whack based on a
poor quality business case.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
And he seems to have been proven correct, does he not?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Why else would the cost of the taxpayer have shrunk
from two hundred and eighty million dollars to eighty million
dollars a two hundred million dollar saving if he was right?
And he's one guy at the cabinet table. How many
other business cases don't stack up? There's an entire lucrative
business case industry in Wellington. Some of the workers don't
(15:33):
in house by government departments, of course, but much of
it is outsourced to the private sector. Can we trust
these reports? MB had a business case train wreck A
few years back.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
You might remember this.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
They were calculating the benefits of hosting events like the
World Dance Championships, and questions from the media, they went
back and redid their sums, realized they had been incorrectly
calculating the cost benefit analyses of events for two years.
More than a dozen applications had to be fixed. We've
(16:04):
recently had scraps over the benefits of four laning two
fun today. And this is a problem because if we
can't trust the numbers we're basing decisions on, then how
can we make proper decisions. I hope the Wycotter UNI
Med School is a success. They say it'll train in
extra one hundred and twenty doctors a year. That sounds fantastic,
but there are three signs this is a risk of
(16:24):
becoming a white elephant project for the government. One other
UNI say they could have done it cheaper. Two Wycauter
UNI has tons of its own money and the ability
to tap into debt. Why aren't they funding it? And
three the business case was clearly a bit shonky to
begin with.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Brian te twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
After five year on news talks, b we talked to
the Association of salaried medical specialists after just before six o'clock,
I should say this morning for their reaction to this.
I mean, if you could funnel the money to existing
you know, to Otago and Auckland and get the same outcome,
then why wouldn't you do it? I guess that's the question.
We'll talk to them just before six o'clock. Come out
(17:03):
next to our reporters around the country and Donald de
Mayo is out of Australia for us this morning.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Brian Bridge on early edition with ex bowl Insulation keeping
Kiwi owns warm and try this winter news Talks.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
It'd be good morning.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
It is twenty four away from Sex on news Talks.
It'd be Donald Demyo out of Australia. Shortly we'll talk
to Sarah Dalton. This is from the Association of Salary
Medical Specialists. How do they think the doctor training is
going to happen at go down at Waikato University. The
construction due to start on this project, by the way,
by Christmas. Now it is a big ten week on
Wall Street this week record gains already to start the week.
(18:03):
The S and P five hundred up point six percent.
The Nasdaq arepero point seven percent they reached earlier in
the day's trading new intra day highs. So things are
going well on Wall Street at the moment. And we've
got big companies reporting this week. Alphabet which owns Google,
is reporting this week. Tesla will kick off the Results
seven results season for the Magnificent seven, which is your
(18:25):
big tech companies, So big Tech week on Wall Street,
and they are expecting big things by the way of
those companies that have so far reported in this is
reporting season, and above average, eighty three percent of American
firms posted earnings per year higher than expected, So eighty
three percent have done better than what they were expected
(18:45):
to do and that bodes well for a Trump economy.
You have to say at this point, isn't it twenty three.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Away from six Ryan Bridge Culum proc.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
To our reporter and to Needin this morning, Colm, Good morning, morning, right,
good have you here now? Our South Tonedin community making
its message clear it wants change.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
What's that about? This is sold ship.
Speaker 10 (19:07):
Future of South Adaptation and flood Prevention.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Monitor To come back to Cullum.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I think he's having a few issues with this line
South to Edin's the flooding of course, Claire Suward is
in christ We'll go to Clear first Clear.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Christich City Council's got this.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Report on election issues. I know when I read this,
I thought, is that not up to the voters to
decide what the election issues are?
Speaker 8 (19:30):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (19:30):
Well, good question, Ryan. Look the council has put out
a report saying, look, these are the big issues and
this is what's going to be discussed. The idea of
this report is to offer key insights into the city,
apparently ahead of the local elections, which of course are
in October. This council report details basically these strategic, financial
and governance issues that council is dealing with at the moment.
(19:52):
The Chief Executive, Mary Richardson, says the idea is to
present a clear picture to in which basically to explain
the environment in which future council decisions need to be made.
She says, since the quakes, especially christ Church has re
emerged as a resilient and forward focused urban center, and
the next council will play a very important role in
continuing momentum. Candidate nominations for anyone wanting to put their
(20:17):
name in the hat for a run will close next Friday.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
All right, how's your weather today, Claire.
Speaker 11 (20:22):
Not so cold this morning. We'll clear too fine, A
bit of frost expected later tonight, a southwesterlies and a
high of eleven.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Nice one. Thank you, have a good day.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
And Callum is with us from Dunedin back with us,
I should say Callum. The South didan community sharing a
clear message it wants to change about what.
Speaker 10 (20:40):
This is about the South and Eden's futures program, the
climate adaptation and flood prevention options that have been presented
to the community, and more than twelve hundred individuals and
organizations have already shared their views on what they think
is the best future option for South Dinedan. There were
seven options, ranging from the status quo to large scale retreat.
(21:01):
A seventy three percent of respondents ryan so keeping the
status quo is going in the wrong direction. Fifty nine
percent agree more space for waterways in wetlands is the
right direction. The hidden the Council says survey shows people
do want action and there is now a strong mandate
to move beyond the status quo. A final plan is
scheduled for completion by the end of next year.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
All right, how's your weather?
Speaker 10 (21:24):
Freezing and frosty and foggy as well, so flights early
flights already delayed or canceled out as to need an airport.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
But a fine day today in a high of twelve brilliant.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Thank you Max and Wellington Max. This is the Candala
Mum daughter murder trial. There is summing up today.
Speaker 9 (21:41):
Yeah, the Candalah murder trial. Fifty three year older Julia
Delooney on trial for killing her elderly mother in a
fit of ragel She contends someone broke in and bashed
Helen Gregory without robbing her of her precious belongings. The
crown case being that Deluney tried to stage the scene
to look like an accidental fall from the attic Dealoney
had money problems. She'd invested far, far too much in crypto,
(22:04):
for instance, and likely stole the last of her mother's
savings just to focus on The defense case though, which
summed up at the Wellington High Court yesterday. It claims
seemingly mundane actions like Deloney taking out a rubbish bag
after the death, receiving cash deposits in the weeks prior
leaving and returning to the scene, these have all been
(22:25):
twisted the defense claims by police to look suspicious, but
no intruder on the CCTV valuable. Still, their suggestive evidence
of theft, Deloney's fates will soon lie in the jury's hands.
How's your weather, max cloudy this morning, clearing this afternoon
eleven the high nice one, Thank you, Hey Neva, good morning,
good morning. So we spoke about the RSA. They've hit
(22:47):
the now illegal challenged from the rebelling clubs.
Speaker 12 (22:51):
Yes it's right. So news Talk ZDB obtained an augurand
district newsletter revealing that some of the clubs is seeking
a judicial High Court review. Now they allege the process
to change the National Bodies Constitution in April is unlawful
and they want it reversed. Obviously, this follows the National
irisass spending eighteen defaulting clubs accusing some of deliberately holding
(23:13):
fees the annual fees. So Chief Executive Evan Williams he's
confirming that a group of Auckland based clubs they want
the changes to undergo a judicial review, and he says
they had disappointed the sections being taken.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Boitiness friendly fined you could say and signed dow say, Hey,
what's what's happening with our weather today?
Speaker 12 (23:31):
It's fine, fine, correct again like yesterday morning frosts in
sheltered places, our high thirteen.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Nice one, nice bluebird day bit nippy, but that's okay.
Eighteen minutes away from six, Thanks neither. You're on News
Talk s B. We'll get to don on tomorrow out
of Australia next and then before sex we'll talk about
the Waikata University School med school that will be constructed
they say starting by Christmas. So many people are texting
(23:59):
in about a Tiger universities claim that it could have
done the same number of students but for cheaper, like
this from Mark Ryan. If it's old mate Grant Robertson
doing the numbers for Otagian University saying they could have
done it cheaper, I'd be inclined to not believe them
and go with y Kato. Seventeen away from six. You

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Sarah Doulton on the med School shortly right now, Donald
Mayo out of Australia, Donna, good morning, Good morning to
you tell us Parliament resuming for the first time since
the election, what's the Prime Minister had to say?
Speaker 13 (25:50):
I well, this must maintain its sense of discipline as
they held back the same discipline they held during the
government's first term. Mind you, we'll mention that there's a
Labor senator, Charlotte Walker, who turned twenty one on election day,
so there's some pretty young fresh faces heading to Canberra today.
(26:11):
But Albo says, don't let the majority get to your heads.
Mind you, it's a ninety four seat majority, quite huge
as you can imagine. He says, don't take the job
for granted. And he says that if Labor members keep
their discipline, there's no reason why the MPs won't be
returned to the next parliament as well. So there's a
showing a little bit of confidence there. He says, the
(26:34):
caucus must repay the faith to voters.
Speaker 8 (26:36):
Now.
Speaker 13 (26:36):
His priority will be his government's priority to swipe student
debt by twenty percent, reform childcare and ensriying penalty rates.
We also heard from the Opposition leader, of course, Susan Lee,
who told the party room let's be ready to take
up the fight to labor. I will mention. On another matter,
it was interesting to know what Labor was going to do.
(26:56):
There was some chat about the fact that the photo
of former Labor leader Mark Latham was still on the
wall at Parliament. So the wall, yes, the photo is
going to stay, but the words have been added. In
twenty seventeen, Mark Latham was expelled from the Labor Party
and banned for life his actions do not accord with
(27:17):
Labour's values. Mark Latham to this day has denied any
allegations of emotional and physical abuse of his ex partner.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
All right, and this Victorian farmer banned for owning cattle
after some quite shocking animal abuse.
Speaker 13 (27:30):
Yes, I won't go into too much detail because it's
really quite distressing. This is a thirty three year old
from a regional area in Victoria called Colak. He cannot
be a cattle farmer for ten years. He's been fined
seventy five thousand dollars pleaded guilty to seventy two offenses
in relation to cruelty neglect. Now he's a well known
bloke in the district, a local amateur footballer. But the
(27:51):
court was told in graphic detail that the cattle had
suffered greatly they were found dead or dying from emaciation,
disease or dehydration. One hundred and seventy animals were found
dead on the property.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
All right, Donald willieve out there. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Donald are Australia correspondent is eleven away from six ran Bread.
So the government's given the green light a new medical
school at the University of Waikato. Doors will open twenty
twenty eight a starting role of one hundred and twenty
students a year. Eighty two million bucks. That's how much
we pay down from two hundred and eighty million dollars
which was previously promised at the election from National Sarah
(28:25):
Dalton's the executive director of the Association of Salary Medical
Specialist Sarah. Good morning, Good morning, Ryan, How are you
doing very well?
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
The government says we will get more rural doctors and
gps out of doing this at Wayicuto University. What stops
you from you know, once you do your studies, how
do you decide or are there rules about where you.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Must go next.
Speaker 14 (28:49):
It's just every new graduate doctor has to do two
years practical work. Generally in hospitals, they're the ones known
as house officers before they get their general registration with
the Medical Council, So no doctor emerging from university has
any specialty. They might think they know that they want
to be a rural doctor or a surgeon, or an
(29:11):
anethetist or a psychiatrist or a GP, but they have
to do this two years and then they will continue
on as a registrar, choose a training program with one
of the colleges, and once they emerge from that training
program five to ten years later, they will be a specialist. So,
you know, everyone might hope that more people who go
(29:33):
to this new medical school will be gps or rural
hospital medicine specialists, but we can't guarantee that. The bottom line,
and this is the good news, is that the more
doctors we train, the more doctors will have And actually
the highest proportions of any single specialist group registered with
the Medical Council now are gps. So it stands to
(29:54):
reason that the more we train, the more GPS will get.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Do we know of the doctor that we currently train,
how many of them end up overseas?
Speaker 14 (30:04):
I don't personally know their statistic.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
But because is there a risk that we train these
people and then they bugger off?
Speaker 14 (30:11):
Oh, There is absolutely that risk. But there is a
side of the coin, which is make the terms and
conditions to stay here, make it make it easier to
stay here, make it better to stay here, Guarantee them jobs,
make sure they're earning good money. We've got a real
problem with Australian doctors earning so much more than they
can possibly.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
How much How much do you mean, because I mean
I've seen some of those specialist rates and I've had
friends have moved for these rates and they're double what
what you know? Do we need to double what you realistically?
Speaker 14 (30:44):
Yeah, if you're talking senior doctors, obviously we because we
deal with salary doctors. So if we just make that comparison.
In Australian they have a state system. So the state
we adoptors earn the least current is New South Wales.
Our specialist scale starts at step one, goes all awaut
(31:05):
step fifteen. So after fifteen years a doctor here will
be at the top of our specialist scale. And in Australia,
in their first year they can earn more than our
step fifteen, which so you can go to Australia and
earn more in your first year, then you can earn.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Yeah, in your fifteen Sarah, that is that is quite
a number. Sarah Doll's and an executive director of the
Association of Salaried Medical Specialists.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Eight minutes away from six, So.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
We train them, I mean, you've got to train them,
because that's what you have to do. But then what
happens after that? Are we willing to happy to let
them go for our eighty million dollar sunk investment?
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Seven away from six?
Speaker 1 (31:48):
The news you need this morning and the in depth
analysis earlier this year with Ryan Bridge and ex Bowl
Insulation keeping Kiwi homes warm and dry this winter news talks,
he'd been some news talks.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
The BG, the anti helicopter lobby activist groups are quite determined,
aren't they. This is Ali Williams and Animobra wanting the
chople to land at their house. They got the green
light and now the quiet Sky White and Matar who's
the group leading the anti helicopter brigade. They filed an
appeal in the Environment Court. So yes, it's going to
(32:21):
the Environment Court now. And Mike Lee, who's an Autland counselor,
he's going to bring a notice of motion this week
to ban helicopters and residential areas full stop. So counsel
is actually going to vote on a chopper ban five
to six. Bryan Bridge, Mike's here now, Hey, Mike morning,
And we wonder why we've got problems in this country.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
I mean, we can't land the Well, the problem is.
Speaker 15 (32:44):
They had a process and nobody participated in that process
more than those people who are going to the Environment Court.
There were fourteen hundred submissions, and most of those people
didn't even live in Auckland.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
And didn't talk about the environmental impacts, but rather about
wealthy people.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
About wealthy people they talk they did.
Speaker 15 (33:01):
They did have some worries about some birds and some nesting,
and I thought the commissioners, the Independent Commissioners, were that
they said, there's nothing inherently unurban about a.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Helicopter, which is what this group is saying. It's mad
that you can compare it to a biker or a
car basically a permitted activity.
Speaker 15 (33:19):
Well, I think they did compare it to a biker
a car. But if you look at the numbers in
that case, I mean there's sixty landing permits in way Hecki.
Now the reason for that is just outside of all
it's an Island.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Yes, so you need one.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
So there's that, and there's.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
The rest of all.
Speaker 15 (33:32):
There's about three or four. I mean, we're not all
going out to buy a halicopter now to land in
our backyard.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
If you lived next door to one, mic.
Speaker 15 (33:39):
Yeah ins and you had your opportunity to have you
all say you know and what do you do?
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Well, there's medical school this morning, all.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Right, look for Mike is here next See tomorrow.
