Speaker 1 (00:01):
The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
earlier is show with one roof Love where you live
news talk.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Se'd be good morning, it is Wednesday. Great to have
your company. Paul Goldsmith before six on the new crime
stats out this morning and the Tom Phillips injunction will
ask him about that too. Trump's touching down in the
UK with their live aviation fees, they're getting a review
will mean cheap of flights for US. And we've got
your global dairy trade option numbers from overnight. All ahead.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
The agenda Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
To seventeenth September. We've got a ground invasion Garza City
this morning. Netanya, who says get out because we're coming in.
The UN Commission of Inquiry says this is genocide.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
This has been the most ruthless, prolonged and the widespread
attack against the Palestinian people since nineteen forty eight. Every
day that passes, the killings and the starvation of the
Palestinians continue.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
The King is my good friend. Trump is touching down
for second state visit in the UK.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
It's the first time this has ever happened where somebody
was honor's way, So it's a great honor, and this
one's at Windsor.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
They've never used Windsor.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Castle for this before, and they who fucking in palace?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
And I want to say once better than the other,
but they say Windsor Castle is the alternate rate.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Also a little more private, which is one of the reasons.
Also he's meeting with the king tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
There is a huge security operation here in Windsor. This
town is on a state of high alert, which is
typical for a state visit. But what's not as typical
is the level of welcome that the president is going
to be getting. We're hearing that it's going to be
the largest military parade and welcome in living memories.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Luigi Manngioni. This is the alleged insurance boss killer, and
New York judge has thrown out terrorism charges against him,
so it's still going to face these second degree murder charges.
Ideological motives alone don't make a crime terrorism, apparently, this
is according to New York law. Right, So Hollywood, we
go now legend. Robert Redford has died at the age
(02:08):
of eighty nine. You're very nearly perfect. It's a rotten
thing to see.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Well, we were married.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
I thought you slept with a tie.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
No, just for very formal sleeps.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
I think that the time has gone when the American
people realize that we're in this together and that we
sink or swim together.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I'll jump first, Nope, and you jump first.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Oh, I said, what's the matter with you?
Speaker 6 (02:32):
I can't swim?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Yes, you'll remember, butch Cassidy. The Sundance had my favorite
all the President's men, of course about Watergate and Truth
which was a more recent one, and you were one
about George W. Bush. If you haven't seen it, check
it out nine after five views.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
And views you trust to start your day. It's early
editionship with Bryan Bridge and one roof love where you
live news talks that'd.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Be nine two nine two great to have your company.
Now the hospitals you would have heard in the news
there are a number of tafato. Order has done a
thing with Brad Olsen from in for metrics looking at
how short are they of nurses on any given shift.
And last what's interesting to me is they're saying five
hundred and eighty seven nurses every shift last year. We're short,
we need more nurses, we need higher pay. You can
(03:17):
expect what you expect from a union, right, But if
you look at their this is from their own press release.
You look at the numbers. Five hundred and eighty seven
nurses short in twenty twenty four for your average shift.
That's right across the country, and on some shifts that
increases to eight hundred and forty eight nurses. Now that's
not good. I mean, talk to any nurse and they'll
(03:39):
say they run off their feet. However, the shortage was
actually worse under the previous government, so in twenty twenty
three it averaged six hundred and eighty four per shift
the maximum nine hundred and thirty seven. So is the
fact that this current lot hired an extra three thousand
(04:00):
this is last year not a good thing. I guess
we will never stop needing more nurses, according to the
n z N. Now the global dairy trade auction numbers
from overnight actually better than what the derivative market was
saying it might fall five percent. Well we're down point eight,
so yes, it's another dip. Not as bad as the
last one. Down point eight whole milk powder down point eight,
(04:21):
skim milk point three. Butter could be back on your
toast soon, Well probably not but that's down point eight
so softening continues. Output is increasing, demand is not keeping pace,
and the collections have it. Look at the collections for
the season up almost nine percent on last year, which
I guess is what happens when your prices go up
and you want, you know, why not meet it. This
(04:42):
auction and the last one aside, still they reckon that
we will get one percent growth year on year. This
is two the month and two point four percent for
next month. So for dairy farmers this morning, trend is
still looking good. More highs likely, more record high likely.
Brad Olsen on this next news talk setb the.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
News you need this morning and the in depth analysis
early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Roote Love where
you Live News talks at.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Beaks a bit. It's five thirteen This business with the injunction.
I am of the mind that even just because everyone
might be out there on social media going hell for
leather and talking about things that they should and that
doesn't mean you change the law to say, yeah, that's okay,
horses bolted, let's just lead. It isn't that the time
where you double down and you say, right, well, we're
going to double the penalties We're going to enforce this
(05:34):
a bit more. We're going to have our own guys
looking through and seeing who's actually posting this stuff rather
than just giving in. You know, I think it's kind
of a weak position, to be honest with you. Injunctions
this is speaking generally are generally designed forward looking to
try and protect certain parties who need protecting, innocent parties
(05:57):
who need protecting. So do you just because you know
the tap is running hot, do you just let the
flood gates open? I don't think so. We'll talk to
Paul Goldsmith about that. Before six fourteen, after five ram
for food price is up five percent in the year
to August. The dairy main driver mel cup sixteen percent,
cheese up twenty six percent, butter up thirty two percent, meat, poultry,
(06:18):
fish all up eight point one percent. Brad Olson in
for Metrics with us this morning. Brad, Good morning to you.
Good morning. Hey. Did you see the global dairy trade
auction numbers overnight?
Speaker 7 (06:27):
Your thoughts I did a little bit down, I think,
probably highlighting that. Look, we're still seeing our foster globe
a bit of trying to find where things are going
to level out in terms of both supply and demand.
But I think also again on one hand, encouraging for
households in the sense that you haven't seen in the
food price data but is basically been flat the last
(06:50):
three months. But at the same time, if you're starting
to see the GDP come down, it does just makes
you a bit nervous about those very high commodity prices
that we're getting at the moment. If the GDT continues
to fall, then yes, you might have ever so slightly
cheaper butter prices, but the primary sector might not be
earning quite as much either.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, but they are expected to I mean either whole
they should actually get to new record highs according to
some economists.
Speaker 7 (07:16):
The yeah, well, I mean we're certainly hopeful of those
better times to come. But again, I mean, you see
that coming through in the food price data released yesterday,
which does highlight that from a household perspective, you're still
seeing some pretty big costs. Interestingly, though, again we're still
seeing that those cost pressures are coming through in a
more contained fashion. So you know, go back a couple
(07:37):
of years when inflation was running rampant, and you really
still quite a broad based level of inflation just about
everything was increasing in price at a fairly rapid pace. Nowadays,
it's not everything, it's just that it's quite a few
of the high frequency items that you notice a whole
lot more. It's the fact that you know, minces increased significantly,
steak all of your dairy. But we've also seen in
(07:59):
the latest food numbers just a few bits of easing.
The likes of olive oil prices, which we're very high
a couple of years back, are now starting to come down.
The likes of coffee prices also easing, ever so slightly,
still elevated, still expensive, but continuing to sort of shift
in the right direction, you'd.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Say, outside bred outside of food, we are seeing rents
come down though, right, So does that sort of I mean,
I see ASP's come out and said they probably are
picking two point nine percent for September, which is below
forecast of the RBNZ. So is there actually a silver
lining to all this?
Speaker 7 (08:32):
Well, I think it's just so mixed, depending on exactly
who you are and what you're buying. Yes, we've seen
that that rental pressure has really eased back. That's generally
a lot more concentrated in our urban centers. Auckland and
Wellington in particular, So if you're renting in the regions,
you're probably still not seeing all that much of a
better sort of position there. But the one that worries me,
(08:52):
I think the most. We spend a lot of time
talking about rent and about food, but it's the energy
prices that really get me. The fact that electricity and
gas are up something like eleven and fourteen percent year
on year respectively. Those are some pretty big gifty increases
coming through for what a fairly vital costs. You can't
choose not to have electricity or gas. You need to
be able to sort of heat your home and cook dinner,
(09:14):
So all of those sort of pressures show that look,
it's mixed out there. But even then getting towards the
top of the target band, yes, the Reserve Bank's still
got more scope to cut things, but realistically that's still
an uncomfortable level of inflation for everyone to be having
to handle.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Appreciate your time. Brad brad Elson, Infametric's chief economist. My
mum used to say, don't put the heater on, just
wear another jersey, put a jumper on. Ryan, Not that
I'm saying that's what everyone should be doing at home
this morning. It's but chilly. The interesting thing about this
review of the Aviation Action Plan the government released yesterday.
One of the things they're looking at is the cap
on student loans, which apparently is the big barrier if
(09:53):
you're a young person who wants to be a pilot.
You cannot borrow all you need to borrow to in
order to get get a pilot's license to cover your
tuition fees. Why not we' look at that next.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
The first word on the News of the Day early
edition with Ryan Bridge and One Route Love where you live.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
News Talk said, be it has just gone twenty after
five on News Talk said be Aviation New Zealand fee
Sorry Airways New Zealand fees. Getting a look under the hood.
This is part of the reason, part of the reason
why we pay more to fly around the country. The
Associate Transport Minister, James Mega says, reviewing a bunch is
reviewing a bunch of stuff. He's released the Aviation Action Plan.
(10:34):
Billy Moore is the Airport's Association CEO with me this morning, Billy,
good morning, good morning. What did you make of the plan?
Speaker 8 (10:41):
Well, we're really happy to see this plan come out
it's hard to believe, but there's never really been a
government aviation plan or strategy before, so this is the
first time that something like this has come out where
government and industry have come together, set some objective and
we'll get some government if it's mobilized around the aviation sector.
(11:06):
Most of the if it in government policy is very
much in land transport, so we're really keen to make
the most of this opportunity.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
How is it that we've had basically an outdated student
loan cap for people who want to be pilots, you know,
the loan doesn't cover the tuition fees.
Speaker 8 (11:22):
Well, it's been a big issue and something the industry
has been talking with government about for a long time.
We haven't got so far in this plan in terms
of getting a commitment to listing the loan cap, but
there is a commitment from Ministry of Education to work
on the overall policy settings on pilot training. It is
going to be essential to sort something out there. Pilot's
(11:45):
going to be in huge demand globally as we get
more innovations in the aviation sector, including vertical take off aircraft.
We already have a shortage, so we've got to get
a move on in that space. So at least we've
got a commitment to a program.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Now I see a Harkia is getting an upgrade. It's
going to be the alternate for wide body aircraft. What
happens with Auckland, Like if you're flying into Auckland and
Auckland Airport's out of action, where do you go to
in a big plane?
Speaker 8 (12:12):
Look, it's different for different airlines, but the key thing
is that airlines need the certainty that they've got options
for alternate lending. So it's really normal for them to
have an alternate nominated. But a HAKIA is a really
important one and we haven't had twee for seven options
(12:34):
for a HAKIA to be available to the airlines and
situations where there's safe or weather or other issues. So
it helps a lot. Otherwise they need to carry more
fuel to go further south, say the Christian Yees.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
So because basically if you're coming into Auckland, Auckland's out
of action, there's nowhere you'd have to go, what to
the South Island potentially.
Speaker 8 (12:56):
Sometimes to Wellington, but Wellington isn't always to be suitable,
although it will be soon when they've got their runway
upgrades completed. So it's about having more options just gives
airlines greater certainty and we.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Could at least get to a Hark ye but is
that weird because it is the biggest airport, it's where
most people fly into and the closest you can get
is like a five hour drive.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
Yeah, look, Hamilton might be an option at some stage
as well. The more options and good infrastructure that we have,
the better. Really on this plan will also focus on
the future infrastructure requires requirements we need in the system,
including airspace and having a hakier on that list and
the ability for that to be available for longer hours
(13:45):
for airlines. It's going to be an important first step.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Yeah, Billy, appreciate your time this morning. Thank you, Billy Moore,
New Zealand Airport's Association Chief Executive. Because the other thing
is you could go to Hamilton potentially, depending on the
size of your plane, go to Hamilton, but then you
need the border staff there. So then they have because
I had a friend who was sitting on a plane
on the tarmac and they were there, they were in
New Zealand. But then you have to get the border
(14:07):
staff out of bed or whatever and then get them
in a car down to Hamilton before you can get
yourself off the plane because you need to be processed
through customs. Twenty four minutes after five, News TALKSVB will
look at the lay of the land in the world
of politics.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Next the early edition Full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio
powered by NEWSTALKSB.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
News Talks FB five twenty six This morning, Like it
or not, next year's big dance and politics will ultimately
be decided by the few, not the many. Most MMP
elections have been the minnows hold the keys to the kingdom.
Be it Winston with what will it be as best
result ever potentially or to Party Malori with the overhand.
Getting the Left in twenty twenty six won't be a
(14:50):
twenty twenty landslide. The difference this time is how extreme
some of those smaller parties, or more to the point,
some of their MPs have become. Think Takuta on Indians,
think Simon Court on Palestine. It's not just rhetoric though,
but policy too. A separate Maldi parliament, renationalizing power companies,
says Uncle Shane, you name it, they'll go there. The
(15:12):
temptation for the behemoths, the broad churches, the big lots.
Is to emulate what's getting traction, to dip your toe
in the pool of radical ideas, to be establishment without
looking or sounding like it. Trump and the Mega Movement
are the best example of doing this. In the UK,
parties that have been around since Moses was a linebacker
(15:35):
are being absolutely whipped in the polls by newer upstarts
with one thing on their pledged cards radical change. The
Conservatives have been around for two hundred years, reform UK six.
The big issues, of course do differ our cost of
living malaise as their immigration, So the temptation must be
to embrace a bit of that radical spirit, and Labour
(15:58):
might just do that. Yet we just don't know what
they're cooking up behind the scenes. My prediction, though, establishment
parties will do what establishment parties do, stick to the script,
copy paste the policies, hug the center like a koala
to a tree, and I hope their buddies grab enough
from the fraying edges to get them across the line.
Their bet is that crises come and go, but established
(16:21):
parties don't, even though the Brits and the Americans show
us they can and do. Brian twenty eight after five
News Talks, they b we'll get to speaking of MAGA
and speaking of Trump, We'll get to the UK with
Gavin Gray. Shortly. Trump's touching down for his second state
visit there, and Lisa Cook, She's going to be at
(16:45):
this meeting. The Fed's making big fed rate cup meeting
coming tonight. We'll have that number for you tomorrow morning.
By the way, inflation is running outside their target there.
But will Trump's political pressure mean that they actually cut anyway.
They've also had some soft job numbers, so they're worried
about that. But guess who's going to be at the meeting.
Lisa Cook. So Trump's you know, emergency request to remove
(17:09):
her from this meeting hasn't worked. A federal appeals court
overnight rejected the plea from the White House, so Lisa
Cook will be there. I wonder which which way she
will vote on this. One News Talks.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Edb get ahead of the headlines on early edition with
Ryan Bridge and one roof Love Where you Live News
talks edby.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Going it is twenty four away from six on your
Wednesday morning. Great to have your company. Trump is touching
down in the UK for his second state visit. He's
very excited. The Brits will go to Gavin Gray shortly.
Also this morning, the Justice Minister on the new crime
not crime, but incarceration. You're more likely now than ever
before to go to jail if you commit crimes. That's
(18:06):
before six o'clock. Graham texts the program. Ryan watching Hipkins
on the news last night on TV one saying that
departsy Maldi are too radical to align with Labor. I
don't believe them. Yeah, well, no one believes that. I mean,
that's ridiculous. If it's the difference between getting into power
and not getting into power, then you get into power,
don't you. That's what politicians do. Luke says Ryan. I
(18:29):
don't believe I'll be voting for the John Timmerheading Retirement
Trust anytime soon. The thing is, I had Tipkins on
my Herald Now show, this live streaming show in the
mornings yesterday and asked them all about this, and he
said his comments were in their current form, the way
that these comments are being portrayed or the way that
(18:50):
they were posted on social media, from taker to Fares,
I won't there's no room for that in any government
I lead. Now that doesn't mean anything. Literally doesn't mean anything.
It means you could fall at the altar and say
that you're sorry and it's all fine. Or it just
means that you won't put him anywhere near cabinet, which
(19:11):
was probably never going to happen anyway. So I'm with you, Graham.
I don't necessarily believe that it means March twenty two,
Away from six gray Bridge reporters around the country This
morning Cullum Proctor in Duned and Culm, Good morning morning Ryan.
This bird flu contamination farm we spoke about a we
whiled back back in business, eggs on the shelves yep. Correct.
Speaker 9 (19:30):
Remember this was so the Mainland Poultry managed Hillgrove property
back in December last year, two hundred thousand chickens cold.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Due to the bird flu virus.
Speaker 9 (19:40):
But nine months on the back in business and new
eggs have now been laid and repopulation eforts are in
full swing there. The chief executive is John McKay. He's
told us, look, it's been a tough long road to
get to where they are now back up and running,
but he's proud of how resilient they've been. He says,
after having an empty farm having eggs out of sheds
is light at the end of the tunnel and the
(20:02):
whole experience has been a good learning one for the
whole industry and how to improve biosecurity for the future.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Right and your weather, callum.
Speaker 9 (20:10):
We've got some heavy rain on the way this morning,
clearing this afternoon, those strong northerlies the high nineteen today.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Thank you clears and christ Church clear, good morning, good morning.
Forget about food prices, what about the Crusaders.
Speaker 10 (20:21):
Yeah, well, the Crusaders rugby franchise is sticking by this
decision to lift to their prices for members for next season.
Fans are able to secure their memberships from today. The passes,
of course, will include some games at the new stadium,
but not all. There are some concerns though about the
price increases. For example, a family of four is now
(20:42):
going to cost two and a half times more than
what they've been paying so far. We spoke with the
CEO of the Crusaders, though, Colin Mansbridge. He says, look,
moving venues was always going to cost more because they're
simply incomparable. He does warn there'll be more increases too
beyond twenty twenty seven. He says, to be fair, though,
you will be able to almost touch the players from
the best seats, and he says these two venues are
(21:05):
like comparing a Ford Cortina two eight ferrari.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
How's the weather cloud increasing?
Speaker 10 (21:12):
A few spots of rain about. We're under a strong
wind warning two for northwesterlyes gusting ninety kilometers per hour
the high twenty two.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
All right, thank you Max Is in Wellington, morning Max,
Good morning at these priests gone back to the churches
their congregations yet or what yeah?
Speaker 11 (21:27):
With the weather packing in last night in the capital.
I certainly don't blame them. These were there were six
Anglican and Catholic priests. I don't blame them not wanting
to spend another night chained outside Nicola Willis's electorate office
and they had been reduced to four before calling a night. Officially,
they say they are happy their message was heard. Sanction Israel.
That's what they've been calling for, even though they ultimately
(21:49):
didn't get what they wanted, and that was a meeting
with the minister. And a quote here from Nicola Willis,
I will not be setting a precedent about the way
to get a meeting with me is to don an
adult nappy and chain yourself to a door. A little
tougher response in Auckland though, by Simeon Brown, who got trespassed.
Notices served on the five members of the clergy yesterday
(22:09):
who tried the same stunt. They left pretty quickly when
police arrived.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Yeah, what did you think of it? I thought it
was a little over the top from the like. I know,
church numbers are down, so are they just sort of
trying to take their message to the streets. I don't know.
How's you wear the max?
Speaker 11 (22:26):
Yeah, yeah, you sort of resk getting people offside with
the message. Cloud and showers very strong northwesterlies today getting
up to fifteen.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
All right, thank you. Wendy's in Auckland with us this morning. Wendy,
good morning, Great to see you you too. We've got
an upgrade for our army barracks in South Auckland.
Speaker 7 (22:42):
We do.
Speaker 12 (22:43):
The government says there's a lot of work to do
to address the decades of neglect in our defense force.
News Talk z B has confirmed the barracks at Papacuta
Military Base of being replaced after being vacated in May
following the discovery of mold last year. Associate Defense Minister
Chris Pinks says a defense data suffered from decades of
under investment. He says some defense facilities have become outdated,
(23:06):
leaky or moldy. Bank says the government has committed to
this significant work that is needed to bring defense buildings
to a modern standard.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
All right, house, our weather, Wendy, Well.
Speaker 12 (23:16):
It's looking a little bit better this afternoon. Cloudy periods
with isolated showers in the morning and again those longer
fine spells ofsavo northwesterlies. Heading for our eighteen degree high
though it's pretty warm.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
It is very warm out there. It was slight sweat
on the walk yesterday.
Speaker 12 (23:30):
Yes, I hear you same on a little run, a
little bit sweaty.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
All right, very good, good to see Wendy. Thank you.
Eighteen minutes away from six o'clock in Sweden. Because you
know we've been talking about the phone bands, and we
mentioned yesterday about France, well Sweden. From autumn twenty twenty six,
all schools and all after school clubs have got to
collect and hold the student's phones until the end of
the day. And I was going to ask you for
(23:54):
parents out there or for students who are listening on
their way to roaming whatever it might be. Do you
have to hand the phone in or is it just
if you get caught with it then you get in trouble?
Nineteen nine two. The number to text it is eighteen
to six Paul Goldsmith, the Justice Minister. Before six next
we're in the UK for Trump's big visit news talks.
There'd be just gone quarter to six. Geez, loads of mum's,
(24:17):
dads and kids off to Rowing this morning. I was
just asking because Sweden is going to ban the phones
like we have banned the phones in schools here. They're
doing it from next year, and I just asked a question.
Does the school take the phone off you when you
arrive at school, put it in a box or something,
or can you keep it on you all day? Ryan,
Thanks for the shout out to Rowing this morning on
(24:37):
my way to Saint Ken's where I cox. It's just
if you get caught with it, otherwise it sits in
my pocket all day. So there's your answer.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Fourteen to six International correspondence with ends in Eye Insurance
Peace of Mind for New Zealand Business.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Second state visit for Donald Trump as he arrives in
the UK very excited about this. How excited are the Brits?
Scavin's with us this morning, Gavin, Good morning.
Speaker 13 (25:00):
Yeah, very very tied security operation on this, of course, Ryan,
along with the recent assassination of the Charlie Kirk and
the attempted hit on Donald Trump in the presidential campaign,
so vast quantities of security personnel, police and others on patrol.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
He's due in the.
Speaker 13 (25:18):
UK a little later today and then begins a very
exciting series of events. Exciting that is because this is
really unique, the only time that we've ever seen a
second state visit for a world leader, and Donald Trump
I think, suitably flattered, lots of pomp and ceremony, and
not surprisingly, this government wants to cash in and make
(25:40):
the most of it. And that is why that we're
also hearing that Google's owner Alphabet is announcing an eleven
billion New Zealand dollar investment in UK artificial intelligence. That's
going to mean data center improvements, It's also going to
mean funding an advanced scientific research center and effect. Yeah,
(26:01):
the going to be several other announcements of big American
investments in the UK in the coming days.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
What's the feeling like there from the Brits about him coming.
Is it mostly agnostic that a lot of what we're
seeing in the media here is very negative.
Speaker 13 (26:14):
Yeah, I think there's going to be a bit of negativity,
and that's why they have really really worked out his
itinerary and how close he's going to come to the public,
and of course with the public will be protesters, and
I think as well, there are so few opportunities for
those protesters to get near him within earshot. That seems
(26:35):
to be a bit of apathy about it all actually,
that it's all going to be, you know, rather difficult
for people to get their voices heard. That said, I
think there are plenty of people as well who think,
you know, this investment is so needed. Today we've had
a bad set of economic figures, so potentially that's good
news on that front. But yeah, this is all about
trying to impress Donald Trump with pomp and ceremony, and
(26:56):
certainly when he found out he was to get this
unprecedented second state visit, he made a big thing about
saying what an honor it was for America, and dare
I said, what an honor for him?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Kevin Gray are UK, you're a correspondent. Cheers Gavin it
is twelve to six crime Bridge, do the crime, do
the time. This is new Ministry of Justice figures out
this morning. The year to June seven, four hundred people
were sent to prison following a conviction. That is a
fourteen percent jump on last year, a thirty five percent
jump on twenty two to twenty three. Paul Goldsmith, the
(27:28):
Justice minister. Minister, good morning, good morning, how are you good?
Thank you? Is that as high as you would want it?
Speaker 14 (27:36):
Well, I mean, our focus is not on a prison number.
Our focus is on reducing the number of victims of crime.
And so what we're seeing that there has been a
bit of a rebalancing going on.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
You know, the.
Speaker 14 (27:46):
Previous government was focused on reducing the prison population come
what may, and unfortunately that sort of at the same
time we had a big increase in crime, and particularly
violent crime. And so our focus is on reducing the
number of victims of crime and if that leads to
a higher prison population in the short term, will show
be it a long term of course, we want to
have less crime, less people in prison.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Are the rates making sense? In other words, that a
fourteen percent increase in prison sentences following convictions are we
seeing a consummate four in violent crime reporting.
Speaker 14 (28:23):
Well yeah, I mean, look, all these figures are complicated,
these big lags. The figure that we focus on in
terms of our target is the Crime and Victims survey,
of course, of cause, a lot of people don't report
crime to the police and that doesn't go through the
whole core process, but they're still victims, and on that
score we are seeing an improvement. We had one hundred
and eighty five thousand New Zealanders being a victim of
(28:45):
serious violent or sexual offending when we came to power.
That numbers down to one hundred and fifty six thousand.
Still one hundred and fifty six thousand too many, but
it is a significant improvement. So we're making progress. There
are a fewer victims of crime, but there's a hell
of a lot more.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Work to do. Maldi two times more likely to get
a prison sentence than non Maldi, non Maldi more likely
to get a monetary sentence. Why racist judges or types
of crime?
Speaker 14 (29:12):
Well, look, I think it's primarily the later. That if
the vast majority of people who go to prison in
New Zealand are there for serious violent or sexual offending, Yes,
these stature are slight and increase in the number of
people for drug offenses, but that's still a very small
minority of people in prison. Most people going to prison
in New Zealand have committed serious, violent or sexual offending.
(29:34):
And you know, we make no apology. We need to
have clear consequences for crime and our focuses on keeping
the people of New Zealand safe.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
What's your take on the Tom Phillips in junction situation.
Is your view that are because it's out there, just
because it's on social media, we should let it run.
Speaker 14 (29:50):
No, it's not my view. My view is that the
courts have imposed suppression orders and that's for the courts
to decide, and I'm not going to interfere with that.
In the new way shape, there is obviously a challenge
in the sense that with the fact that people get
their information all from all around the world and it's
(30:10):
impossible to police the Internet and what people in Kazakhstan
are saying on TikTok or whatever, then that's a challenge.
And the only point I'd make is that nobody's presented
me with an effective solution to that. But we're looking
and if we could find one, we would, but in
the meantime, the courts are doing the best they can.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
What's the punishment, because not just people in kazakhstance people here.
What is the punishment?
Speaker 14 (30:35):
Well, I don't know the exact figure, but that there
is certainly a potential finds for people who break suppression orders.
Is a fine that's a matter for the courts to impose. Well,
they may have more. I'm sorry, I just don't. I
don't have the details in front of me. But the
courts have the ability to enforce that. But that obviously
(30:55):
is for them to and the police to make decisions
around that.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Do you think it's time to double down? I mean,
whatever the punishment is, clearly it's not enough because people
aren't scared enough, you know what I mean. And you're
all about harsher penalties, so is this something you'll look at.
Speaker 14 (31:11):
Well, sorry, I'm not all about harsher penalties. I'm about
consequences for crime. But I'm about reducing the number of
victims of crime. That's our real focus. And you know, look,
my primary focus is on trying to reduce the number
of people who are victims of violent and sexual offending.
And that's the number one priority. And there's still a
huge amount of work to do there.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
All right, Okay, good to see Paul Goldsmith. Hoesday, Justice Minister.
Time is eight to six. You're on you Tuesday. There's
a lot of rowing people out there, Ryan, My kids
handing their phones at the start of the day. It's
a primary school, secondary school. You keep it and get
in trouble if you're caught with it, Ryan, go Westlake
girls rowing, says Cris and Ryan. My teenage daughter and
(31:52):
all her friends talk via WhatsApp and other apps on
their school computers, so the cell phones aren't even needed,
says Carl. News Talk said, be.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
On your radio and online on iheard Radio Early Edition
with Ryan Bridge and one roof Love, where you Live,
News Talks ed b News Talks.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
He'd be just gone five away from sex. Thank you
for all your texts this morning. And nine to nine
two is the number. MIC's in the studio. He's with
you next, Mike, Good morning morning. I'm a little bit.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Of upset on the car situation.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
We're still going on about the make so you.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Raised it, you started it. So first of all, my
wife's now upset with you. What so she was a
fan of yours yesterday, but she's upset with you now.
She thought you'd take my advice about the putting the
thing back on, and you just sort of dismissed it. Kate,
I think a range of advice. Well, she didn't realize that.
She thought you treated me with an element of respect
and you'd put it on. More importantly than this, I
(32:47):
was told that you are, and I'm disappointed in you
for this, That you presented the story to me as
though you just had it. The thing had fallen off
the car. I've been told that it had been that
way for a very long period of time, and you'd
been driving around with it just dragging off the bottom
of your car. And you're clearly one of those people,
when presented with the problem, doesn't actually fix.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
It and just lets it go on. Here is I
don't know where you get your information very good information.
So what I thought was happening because I thought it
was the shock exhorbers. Yes there was a sound, okay,
but I never got down on my hands, and needed
didn't look to see the problem. Don't look, don't see
How many days.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
Did that drag on? For literally and figuratively weeks?
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Apparently so again, I was like, I gotta go. I've
got to go and get my shop. Exhorbers done running
around busy anyway, let's sort it all right.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
Hundreds of people saw you just dragging half your card
except me, not a man who's into actually, so it's
an interesting insight into your personality. So you're not interested
in my advice, you're not interested problems.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Now, you're not need to have any so sensitive I
was interested in your advice. I just didn't take it.
Mike's next new TOGSIV.
Speaker 1 (34:00):

The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
earlier is show with one roof Love where you live
news talk.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Se'd be good morning, it is Wednesday. Great to have
your company. Paul Goldsmith before six on the new crime
stats out this morning and the Tom Phillips injunction will
ask him about that too. Trump's touching down in the
UK with their live aviation fees, they're getting a review
will mean cheap of flights for US. And we've got
your global dairy trade option numbers from overnight. All ahead.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
The agenda Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
To seventeenth September. We've got a ground invasion Garza City
this morning. Netanya, who says get out because we're coming in.
The UN Commission of Inquiry says this is genocide.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
This has been the most ruthless, prolonged and the widespread
attack against the Palestinian people since nineteen forty eight. Every
day that passes, the killings and the starvation of the
Palestinians continue.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
The King is my good friend. Trump is touching down
for second state visit in the UK.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
It's the first time this has ever happened where somebody
was honor's way, So it's a great honor, and this
one's at Windsor.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
They've never used Windsor.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Castle for this before, and they who fucking in palace?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
And I want to say once better than the other,
but they say Windsor Castle is the alternate rate.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Also a little more private, which is one of the reasons.
Also he's meeting with the king tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
There is a huge security operation here in Windsor. This
town is on a state of high alert, which is
typical for a state visit. But what's not as typical
is the level of welcome that the president is going
to be getting. We're hearing that it's going to be
the largest military parade and welcome in living memories.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Luigi Manngioni. This is the alleged insurance boss killer, and
New York judge has thrown out terrorism charges against him,
so it's still going to face these second degree murder charges.
Ideological motives alone don't make a crime terrorism, apparently, this
is according to New York law. Right, So Hollywood, we
go now legend. Robert Redford has died at the age
(02:08):
of eighty nine. You're very nearly perfect. It's a rotten
thing to see.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Well, we were married.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
I thought you slept with a tie.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
No, just for very formal sleeps.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
I think that the time has gone when the American
people realize that we're in this together and that we
sink or swim together.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I'll jump first, Nope, and you jump first.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Oh, I said, what's the matter with you?
Speaker 6 (02:32):
I can't swim?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Yes, you'll remember, butch Cassidy. The Sundance had my favorite
all the President's men, of course about Watergate and Truth
which was a more recent one, and you were one
about George W. Bush. If you haven't seen it, check
it out nine after five views.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
And views you trust to start your day. It's early
editionship with Bryan Bridge and one roof love where you
live news talks that'd.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Be nine two nine two great to have your company.
Now the hospitals you would have heard in the news
there are a number of tafato. Order has done a
thing with Brad Olsen from in for metrics looking at
how short are they of nurses on any given shift.
And last what's interesting to me is they're saying five
hundred and eighty seven nurses every shift last year. We're short,
we need more nurses, we need higher pay. You can
(03:17):
expect what you expect from a union, right, But if
you look at their this is from their own press release.
You look at the numbers. Five hundred and eighty seven
nurses short in twenty twenty four for your average shift.
That's right across the country, and on some shifts that
increases to eight hundred and forty eight nurses. Now that's
not good. I mean, talk to any nurse and they'll
(03:39):
say they run off their feet. However, the shortage was
actually worse under the previous government, so in twenty twenty
three it averaged six hundred and eighty four per shift
the maximum nine hundred and thirty seven. So is the
fact that this current lot hired an extra three thousand
(04:00):
this is last year not a good thing. I guess
we will never stop needing more nurses, according to the
n z N. Now the global dairy trade auction numbers
from overnight actually better than what the derivative market was
saying it might fall five percent. Well we're down point eight,
so yes, it's another dip. Not as bad as the
last one. Down point eight whole milk powder down point eight,
(04:21):
skim milk point three. Butter could be back on your
toast soon, Well probably not but that's down point eight
so softening continues. Output is increasing, demand is not keeping pace,
and the collections have it. Look at the collections for
the season up almost nine percent on last year, which
I guess is what happens when your prices go up
and you want, you know, why not meet it. This
(04:42):
auction and the last one aside, still they reckon that
we will get one percent growth year on year. This
is two the month and two point four percent for
next month. So for dairy farmers this morning, trend is
still looking good. More highs likely, more record high likely.
Brad Olsen on this next news talk setb the.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
News you need this morning and the in depth analysis
early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Roote Love where
you Live News talks at.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Beaks a bit. It's five thirteen This business with the injunction.
I am of the mind that even just because everyone
might be out there on social media going hell for
leather and talking about things that they should and that
doesn't mean you change the law to say, yeah, that's okay,
horses bolted, let's just lead. It isn't that the time
where you double down and you say, right, well, we're
going to double the penalties We're going to enforce this
(05:34):
a bit more. We're going to have our own guys
looking through and seeing who's actually posting this stuff rather
than just giving in. You know, I think it's kind
of a weak position, to be honest with you. Injunctions
this is speaking generally are generally designed forward looking to
try and protect certain parties who need protecting, innocent parties
(05:57):
who need protecting. So do you just because you know
the tap is running hot, do you just let the
flood gates open? I don't think so. We'll talk to
Paul Goldsmith about that. Before six fourteen, after five ram
for food price is up five percent in the year
to August. The dairy main driver mel cup sixteen percent,
cheese up twenty six percent, butter up thirty two percent, meat, poultry,
(06:18):
fish all up eight point one percent. Brad Olson in
for Metrics with us this morning. Brad, Good morning to you.
Good morning. Hey. Did you see the global dairy trade
auction numbers overnight?
Speaker 7 (06:27):
Your thoughts I did a little bit down, I think,
probably highlighting that. Look, we're still seeing our foster globe
a bit of trying to find where things are going
to level out in terms of both supply and demand.
But I think also again on one hand, encouraging for
households in the sense that you haven't seen in the
food price data but is basically been flat the last
(06:50):
three months. But at the same time, if you're starting
to see the GDP come down, it does just makes
you a bit nervous about those very high commodity prices
that we're getting at the moment. If the GDT continues
to fall, then yes, you might have ever so slightly
cheaper butter prices, but the primary sector might not be
earning quite as much either.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, but they are expected to I mean either whole
they should actually get to new record highs according to
some economists.
Speaker 7 (07:16):
The yeah, well, I mean we're certainly hopeful of those
better times to come. But again, I mean, you see
that coming through in the food price data released yesterday,
which does highlight that from a household perspective, you're still
seeing some pretty big costs. Interestingly, though, again we're still
seeing that those cost pressures are coming through in a
more contained fashion. So you know, go back a couple
(07:37):
of years when inflation was running rampant, and you really
still quite a broad based level of inflation just about
everything was increasing in price at a fairly rapid pace. Nowadays,
it's not everything, it's just that it's quite a few
of the high frequency items that you notice a whole
lot more. It's the fact that you know, minces increased significantly,
steak all of your dairy. But we've also seen in
(07:59):
the latest food numbers just a few bits of easing.
The likes of olive oil prices, which we're very high
a couple of years back, are now starting to come down.
The likes of coffee prices also easing, ever so slightly,
still elevated, still expensive, but continuing to sort of shift
in the right direction, you'd.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Say, outside bred outside of food, we are seeing rents
come down though, right, So does that sort of I mean,
I see ASP's come out and said they probably are
picking two point nine percent for September, which is below
forecast of the RBNZ. So is there actually a silver
lining to all this?
Speaker 7 (08:32):
Well, I think it's just so mixed, depending on exactly
who you are and what you're buying. Yes, we've seen
that that rental pressure has really eased back. That's generally
a lot more concentrated in our urban centers. Auckland and
Wellington in particular, So if you're renting in the regions,
you're probably still not seeing all that much of a
better sort of position there. But the one that worries me,
(08:52):
I think the most. We spend a lot of time
talking about rent and about food, but it's the energy
prices that really get me. The fact that electricity and
gas are up something like eleven and fourteen percent year
on year respectively. Those are some pretty big gifty increases
coming through for what a fairly vital costs. You can't
choose not to have electricity or gas. You need to
be able to sort of heat your home and cook dinner,
(09:14):
So all of those sort of pressures show that look,
it's mixed out there. But even then getting towards the
top of the target band, yes, the Reserve Bank's still
got more scope to cut things, but realistically that's still
an uncomfortable level of inflation for everyone to be having
to handle.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Appreciate your time. Brad brad Elson, Infametric's chief economist. My
mum used to say, don't put the heater on, just
wear another jersey, put a jumper on. Ryan, Not that
I'm saying that's what everyone should be doing at home
this morning. It's but chilly. The interesting thing about this
review of the Aviation Action Plan the government released yesterday.
One of the things they're looking at is the cap
on student loans, which apparently is the big barrier if
(09:53):
you're a young person who wants to be a pilot.
You cannot borrow all you need to borrow to in
order to get get a pilot's license to cover your
tuition fees. Why not we' look at that next.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
The first word on the News of the Day early
edition with Ryan Bridge and One Route Love where you live.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
News Talk said, be it has just gone twenty after
five on News Talk said be Aviation New Zealand fee
Sorry Airways New Zealand fees. Getting a look under the hood.
This is part of the reason, part of the reason
why we pay more to fly around the country. The
Associate Transport Minister, James Mega says, reviewing a bunch is
reviewing a bunch of stuff. He's released the Aviation Action Plan.
(10:34):
Billy Moore is the Airport's Association CEO with me this morning, Billy,
good morning, good morning. What did you make of the plan?
Speaker 8 (10:41):
Well, we're really happy to see this plan come out
it's hard to believe, but there's never really been a
government aviation plan or strategy before, so this is the
first time that something like this has come out where
government and industry have come together, set some objective and
we'll get some government if it's mobilized around the aviation sector.
(11:06):
Most of the if it in government policy is very
much in land transport, so we're really keen to make
the most of this opportunity.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
How is it that we've had basically an outdated student
loan cap for people who want to be pilots, you know,
the loan doesn't cover the tuition fees.
Speaker 8 (11:22):
Well, it's been a big issue and something the industry
has been talking with government about for a long time.
We haven't got so far in this plan in terms
of getting a commitment to listing the loan cap, but
there is a commitment from Ministry of Education to work
on the overall policy settings on pilot training. It is
going to be essential to sort something out there. Pilot's
(11:45):
going to be in huge demand globally as we get
more innovations in the aviation sector, including vertical take off aircraft.
We already have a shortage, so we've got to get
a move on in that space. So at least we've
got a commitment to a program.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Now I see a Harkia is getting an upgrade. It's
going to be the alternate for wide body aircraft. What
happens with Auckland, Like if you're flying into Auckland and
Auckland Airport's out of action, where do you go to
in a big plane?
Speaker 8 (12:12):
Look, it's different for different airlines, but the key thing
is that airlines need the certainty that they've got options
for alternate lending. So it's really normal for them to
have an alternate nominated. But a HAKIA is a really
important one and we haven't had twee for seven options
(12:34):
for a HAKIA to be available to the airlines and
situations where there's safe or weather or other issues. So
it helps a lot. Otherwise they need to carry more
fuel to go further south, say the Christian Yees.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
So because basically if you're coming into Auckland, Auckland's out
of action, there's nowhere you'd have to go, what to
the South Island potentially.
Speaker 8 (12:56):
Sometimes to Wellington, but Wellington isn't always to be suitable,
although it will be soon when they've got their runway
upgrades completed. So it's about having more options just gives
airlines greater certainty and we.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Could at least get to a Hark ye but is
that weird because it is the biggest airport, it's where
most people fly into and the closest you can get
is like a five hour drive.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
Yeah, look, Hamilton might be an option at some stage
as well. The more options and good infrastructure that we have,
the better. Really on this plan will also focus on
the future infrastructure requires requirements we need in the system,
including airspace and having a hakier on that list and
the ability for that to be available for longer hours
(13:45):
for airlines. It's going to be an important first step.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Yeah, Billy, appreciate your time this morning. Thank you, Billy Moore,
New Zealand Airport's Association Chief Executive. Because the other thing
is you could go to Hamilton potentially, depending on the
size of your plane, go to Hamilton, but then you
need the border staff there. So then they have because
I had a friend who was sitting on a plane
on the tarmac and they were there, they were in
New Zealand. But then you have to get the border
(14:07):
staff out of bed or whatever and then get them
in a car down to Hamilton before you can get
yourself off the plane because you need to be processed
through customs. Twenty four minutes after five, News TALKSVB will
look at the lay of the land in the world
of politics.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Next the early edition Full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio
powered by NEWSTALKSB.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
News Talks FB five twenty six This morning, Like it
or not, next year's big dance and politics will ultimately
be decided by the few, not the many. Most MMP
elections have been the minnows hold the keys to the kingdom.
Be it Winston with what will it be as best
result ever potentially or to Party Malori with the overhand.
Getting the Left in twenty twenty six won't be a
(14:50):
twenty twenty landslide. The difference this time is how extreme
some of those smaller parties, or more to the point,
some of their MPs have become. Think Takuta on Indians,
think Simon Court on Palestine. It's not just rhetoric though,
but policy too. A separate Maldi parliament, renationalizing power companies,
says Uncle Shane, you name it, they'll go there. The
(15:12):
temptation for the behemoths, the broad churches, the big lots.
Is to emulate what's getting traction, to dip your toe
in the pool of radical ideas, to be establishment without
looking or sounding like it. Trump and the Mega Movement
are the best example of doing this. In the UK,
parties that have been around since Moses was a linebacker
(15:35):
are being absolutely whipped in the polls by newer upstarts
with one thing on their pledged cards radical change. The
Conservatives have been around for two hundred years, reform UK six.
The big issues, of course do differ our cost of
living malaise as their immigration, So the temptation must be
to embrace a bit of that radical spirit, and Labour
(15:58):
might just do that. Yet we just don't know what
they're cooking up behind the scenes. My prediction, though, establishment
parties will do what establishment parties do, stick to the script,
copy paste the policies, hug the center like a koala
to a tree, and I hope their buddies grab enough
from the fraying edges to get them across the line.
Their bet is that crises come and go, but established
(16:21):
parties don't, even though the Brits and the Americans show
us they can and do. Brian twenty eight after five
News Talks, they b we'll get to speaking of MAGA
and speaking of Trump, We'll get to the UK with
Gavin Gray. Shortly. Trump's touching down for his second state
visit there, and Lisa Cook, She's going to be at
(16:45):
this meeting. The Fed's making big fed rate cup meeting
coming tonight. We'll have that number for you tomorrow morning.
By the way, inflation is running outside their target there.
But will Trump's political pressure mean that they actually cut anyway.
They've also had some soft job numbers, so they're worried
about that. But guess who's going to be at the meeting.
Lisa Cook. So Trump's you know, emergency request to remove
(17:09):
her from this meeting hasn't worked. A federal appeals court
overnight rejected the plea from the White House, so Lisa
Cook will be there. I wonder which which way she
will vote on this. One News Talks.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Edb get ahead of the headlines on early edition with
Ryan Bridge and one roof Love Where you Live News
talks edby.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Going it is twenty four away from six on your
Wednesday morning. Great to have your company. Trump is touching
down in the UK for his second state visit. He's
very excited. The Brits will go to Gavin Gray shortly.
Also this morning, the Justice Minister on the new crime
not crime, but incarceration. You're more likely now than ever
before to go to jail if you commit crimes. That's
(18:06):
before six o'clock. Graham texts the program. Ryan watching Hipkins
on the news last night on TV one saying that
departsy Maldi are too radical to align with Labor. I
don't believe them. Yeah, well, no one believes that. I mean,
that's ridiculous. If it's the difference between getting into power
and not getting into power, then you get into power,
don't you. That's what politicians do. Luke says Ryan. I
(18:29):
don't believe I'll be voting for the John Timmerheading Retirement
Trust anytime soon. The thing is, I had Tipkins on
my Herald Now show, this live streaming show in the
mornings yesterday and asked them all about this, and he
said his comments were in their current form, the way
that these comments are being portrayed or the way that
(18:50):
they were posted on social media, from taker to Fares,
I won't there's no room for that in any government
I lead. Now that doesn't mean anything. Literally doesn't mean anything.
It means you could fall at the altar and say
that you're sorry and it's all fine. Or it just
means that you won't put him anywhere near cabinet, which
(19:11):
was probably never going to happen anyway. So I'm with you, Graham.
I don't necessarily believe that it means March twenty two,
Away from six gray Bridge reporters around the country This
morning Cullum Proctor in Duned and Culm, Good morning morning Ryan.
This bird flu contamination farm we spoke about a we
whiled back back in business, eggs on the shelves yep. Correct.
Speaker 9 (19:30):
Remember this was so the Mainland Poultry managed Hillgrove property
back in December last year, two hundred thousand chickens cold.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Due to the bird flu virus.
Speaker 9 (19:40):
But nine months on the back in business and new
eggs have now been laid and repopulation eforts are in
full swing there. The chief executive is John McKay. He's
told us, look, it's been a tough long road to
get to where they are now back up and running,
but he's proud of how resilient they've been. He says,
after having an empty farm having eggs out of sheds
is light at the end of the tunnel and the
(20:02):
whole experience has been a good learning one for the
whole industry and how to improve biosecurity for the future.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Right and your weather, callum.
Speaker 9 (20:10):
We've got some heavy rain on the way this morning,
clearing this afternoon, those strong northerlies the high nineteen today.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Thank you clears and christ Church clear, good morning, good morning.
Forget about food prices, what about the Crusaders.
Speaker 10 (20:21):
Yeah, well, the Crusaders rugby franchise is sticking by this
decision to lift to their prices for members for next season.
Fans are able to secure their memberships from today. The passes,
of course, will include some games at the new stadium,
but not all. There are some concerns though about the
price increases. For example, a family of four is now
(20:42):
going to cost two and a half times more than
what they've been paying so far. We spoke with the
CEO of the Crusaders, though, Colin Mansbridge. He says, look,
moving venues was always going to cost more because they're
simply incomparable. He does warn there'll be more increases too
beyond twenty twenty seven. He says, to be fair, though,
you will be able to almost touch the players from
the best seats, and he says these two venues are
(21:05):
like comparing a Ford Cortina two eight ferrari.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
How's the weather cloud increasing?
Speaker 10 (21:12):
A few spots of rain about. We're under a strong
wind warning two for northwesterlyes gusting ninety kilometers per hour
the high twenty two.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
All right, thank you Max Is in Wellington, morning Max,
Good morning at these priests gone back to the churches
their congregations yet or what yeah?
Speaker 11 (21:27):
With the weather packing in last night in the capital.
I certainly don't blame them. These were there were six
Anglican and Catholic priests. I don't blame them not wanting
to spend another night chained outside Nicola Willis's electorate office
and they had been reduced to four before calling a night. Officially,
they say they are happy their message was heard. Sanction Israel.
That's what they've been calling for, even though they ultimately
(21:49):
didn't get what they wanted, and that was a meeting
with the minister. And a quote here from Nicola Willis,
I will not be setting a precedent about the way
to get a meeting with me is to don an
adult nappy and chain yourself to a door. A little
tougher response in Auckland though, by Simeon Brown, who got trespassed.
Notices served on the five members of the clergy yesterday
(22:09):
who tried the same stunt. They left pretty quickly when
police arrived.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Yeah, what did you think of it? I thought it
was a little over the top from the like. I know,
church numbers are down, so are they just sort of
trying to take their message to the streets. I don't know.
How's you wear the max?
Speaker 11 (22:26):
Yeah, yeah, you sort of resk getting people offside with
the message. Cloud and showers very strong northwesterlies today getting
up to fifteen.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
All right, thank you. Wendy's in Auckland with us this morning. Wendy,
good morning, Great to see you you too. We've got
an upgrade for our army barracks in South Auckland.
Speaker 7 (22:42):
We do.
Speaker 12 (22:43):
The government says there's a lot of work to do
to address the decades of neglect in our defense force.
News Talk z B has confirmed the barracks at Papacuta
Military Base of being replaced after being vacated in May
following the discovery of mold last year. Associate Defense Minister
Chris Pinks says a defense data suffered from decades of
under investment. He says some defense facilities have become outdated,
(23:06):
leaky or moldy. Bank says the government has committed to
this significant work that is needed to bring defense buildings
to a modern standard.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
All right, house, our weather, Wendy, Well.
Speaker 12 (23:16):
It's looking a little bit better this afternoon. Cloudy periods
with isolated showers in the morning and again those longer
fine spells ofsavo northwesterlies. Heading for our eighteen degree high
though it's pretty warm.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
It is very warm out there. It was slight sweat
on the walk yesterday.
Speaker 12 (23:30):
Yes, I hear you same on a little run, a
little bit sweaty.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
All right, very good, good to see Wendy. Thank you.
Eighteen minutes away from six o'clock in Sweden. Because you
know we've been talking about the phone bands, and we
mentioned yesterday about France, well Sweden. From autumn twenty twenty six,
all schools and all after school clubs have got to
collect and hold the student's phones until the end of
the day. And I was going to ask you for
(23:54):
parents out there or for students who are listening on
their way to roaming whatever it might be. Do you
have to hand the phone in or is it just
if you get caught with it then you get in trouble?
Nineteen nine two. The number to text it is eighteen
to six Paul Goldsmith, the Justice Minister. Before six next
we're in the UK for Trump's big visit news talks.
There'd be just gone quarter to six. Geez, loads of mum's,
(24:17):
dads and kids off to Rowing this morning. I was
just asking because Sweden is going to ban the phones
like we have banned the phones in schools here. They're
doing it from next year, and I just asked a question.
Does the school take the phone off you when you
arrive at school, put it in a box or something,
or can you keep it on you all day? Ryan,
Thanks for the shout out to Rowing this morning on
(24:37):
my way to Saint Ken's where I cox. It's just
if you get caught with it, otherwise it sits in
my pocket all day. So there's your answer.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Fourteen to six International correspondence with ends in Eye Insurance
Peace of Mind for New Zealand Business.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Second state visit for Donald Trump as he arrives in
the UK very excited about this. How excited are the Brits?
Scavin's with us this morning, Gavin, Good morning.
Speaker 13 (25:00):
Yeah, very very tied security operation on this, of course, Ryan,
along with the recent assassination of the Charlie Kirk and
the attempted hit on Donald Trump in the presidential campaign,
so vast quantities of security personnel, police and others on patrol.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
He's due in the.
Speaker 13 (25:18):
UK a little later today and then begins a very
exciting series of events. Exciting that is because this is
really unique, the only time that we've ever seen a
second state visit for a world leader, and Donald Trump
I think, suitably flattered, lots of pomp and ceremony, and
not surprisingly, this government wants to cash in and make
(25:40):
the most of it. And that is why that we're
also hearing that Google's owner Alphabet is announcing an eleven
billion New Zealand dollar investment in UK artificial intelligence. That's
going to mean data center improvements, It's also going to
mean funding an advanced scientific research center and effect. Yeah,
(26:01):
the going to be several other announcements of big American
investments in the UK in the coming days.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
What's the feeling like there from the Brits about him coming.
Is it mostly agnostic that a lot of what we're
seeing in the media here is very negative.
Speaker 13 (26:14):
Yeah, I think there's going to be a bit of negativity,
and that's why they have really really worked out his
itinerary and how close he's going to come to the public,
and of course with the public will be protesters, and
I think as well, there are so few opportunities for
those protesters to get near him within earshot. That seems
(26:35):
to be a bit of apathy about it all actually,
that it's all going to be, you know, rather difficult
for people to get their voices heard. That said, I
think there are plenty of people as well who think,
you know, this investment is so needed. Today we've had
a bad set of economic figures, so potentially that's good
news on that front. But yeah, this is all about
trying to impress Donald Trump with pomp and ceremony, and
(26:56):
certainly when he found out he was to get this
unprecedented second state visit, he made a big thing about
saying what an honor it was for America, and dare
I said, what an honor for him?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Kevin Gray are UK, you're a correspondent. Cheers Gavin it
is twelve to six crime Bridge, do the crime, do
the time. This is new Ministry of Justice figures out
this morning. The year to June seven, four hundred people
were sent to prison following a conviction. That is a
fourteen percent jump on last year, a thirty five percent
jump on twenty two to twenty three. Paul Goldsmith, the
(27:28):
Justice minister. Minister, good morning, good morning, how are you good?
Thank you? Is that as high as you would want it?
Speaker 14 (27:36):
Well, I mean, our focus is not on a prison number.
Our focus is on reducing the number of victims of crime.
And so what we're seeing that there has been a
bit of a rebalancing going on.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
You know, the.
Speaker 14 (27:46):
Previous government was focused on reducing the prison population come
what may, and unfortunately that sort of at the same
time we had a big increase in crime, and particularly
violent crime. And so our focus is on reducing the
number of victims of crime and if that leads to
a higher prison population in the short term, will show
be it a long term of course, we want to
have less crime, less people in prison.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Are the rates making sense? In other words, that a
fourteen percent increase in prison sentences following convictions are we
seeing a consummate four in violent crime reporting.
Speaker 14 (28:23):
Well yeah, I mean, look, all these figures are complicated,
these big lags. The figure that we focus on in
terms of our target is the Crime and Victims survey,
of course, of cause, a lot of people don't report
crime to the police and that doesn't go through the
whole core process, but they're still victims, and on that
score we are seeing an improvement. We had one hundred
and eighty five thousand New Zealanders being a victim of
(28:45):
serious violent or sexual offending when we came to power.
That numbers down to one hundred and fifty six thousand.
Still one hundred and fifty six thousand too many, but
it is a significant improvement. So we're making progress. There
are a fewer victims of crime, but there's a hell
of a lot more.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Work to do. Maldi two times more likely to get
a prison sentence than non Maldi, non Maldi more likely
to get a monetary sentence. Why racist judges or types
of crime?
Speaker 14 (29:12):
Well, look, I think it's primarily the later. That if
the vast majority of people who go to prison in
New Zealand are there for serious violent or sexual offending, Yes,
these stature are slight and increase in the number of
people for drug offenses, but that's still a very small
minority of people in prison. Most people going to prison
in New Zealand have committed serious, violent or sexual offending.
(29:34):
And you know, we make no apology. We need to
have clear consequences for crime and our focuses on keeping
the people of New Zealand safe.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
What's your take on the Tom Phillips in junction situation.
Is your view that are because it's out there, just
because it's on social media, we should let it run.
Speaker 14 (29:50):
No, it's not my view. My view is that the
courts have imposed suppression orders and that's for the courts
to decide, and I'm not going to interfere with that.
In the new way shape, there is obviously a challenge
in the sense that with the fact that people get
their information all from all around the world and it's
(30:10):
impossible to police the Internet and what people in Kazakhstan
are saying on TikTok or whatever, then that's a challenge.
And the only point I'd make is that nobody's presented
me with an effective solution to that. But we're looking
and if we could find one, we would, but in
the meantime, the courts are doing the best they can.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
What's the punishment, because not just people in kazakhstance people here.
What is the punishment?
Speaker 14 (30:35):
Well, I don't know the exact figure, but that there
is certainly a potential finds for people who break suppression orders.
Is a fine that's a matter for the courts to impose. Well,
they may have more. I'm sorry, I just don't. I
don't have the details in front of me. But the
courts have the ability to enforce that. But that obviously
(30:55):
is for them to and the police to make decisions
around that.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Do you think it's time to double down? I mean,
whatever the punishment is, clearly it's not enough because people
aren't scared enough, you know what I mean. And you're
all about harsher penalties, so is this something you'll look at.
Speaker 14 (31:11):
Well, sorry, I'm not all about harsher penalties. I'm about
consequences for crime. But I'm about reducing the number of
victims of crime. That's our real focus. And you know, look,
my primary focus is on trying to reduce the number
of people who are victims of violent and sexual offending.
And that's the number one priority. And there's still a
huge amount of work to do there.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
All right, Okay, good to see Paul Goldsmith. Hoesday, Justice Minister.
Time is eight to six. You're on you Tuesday. There's
a lot of rowing people out there, Ryan, My kids
handing their phones at the start of the day. It's
a primary school, secondary school. You keep it and get
in trouble if you're caught with it, Ryan, go Westlake
girls rowing, says Cris and Ryan. My teenage daughter and
(31:52):
all her friends talk via WhatsApp and other apps on
their school computers, so the cell phones aren't even needed,
says Carl. News Talk said, be.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
On your radio and online on iheard Radio Early Edition
with Ryan Bridge and one roof Love, where you Live,
News Talks ed b News Talks.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
He'd be just gone five away from sex. Thank you
for all your texts this morning. And nine to nine
two is the number. MIC's in the studio. He's with
you next, Mike, Good morning morning. I'm a little bit.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Of upset on the car situation.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
We're still going on about the make so you.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Raised it, you started it. So first of all, my
wife's now upset with you. What so she was a
fan of yours yesterday, but she's upset with you now.
She thought you'd take my advice about the putting the
thing back on, and you just sort of dismissed it. Kate,
I think a range of advice. Well, she didn't realize that.
She thought you treated me with an element of respect
and you'd put it on. More importantly than this, I
(32:47):
was told that you are, and I'm disappointed in you
for this, That you presented the story to me as
though you just had it. The thing had fallen off
the car. I've been told that it had been that
way for a very long period of time, and you'd
been driving around with it just dragging off the bottom
of your car. And you're clearly one of those people,
when presented with the problem, doesn't actually fix.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
It and just lets it go on. Here is I
don't know where you get your information very good information.
So what I thought was happening because I thought it
was the shock exhorbers. Yes there was a sound, okay,
but I never got down on my hands, and needed
didn't look to see the problem. Don't look, don't see
How many days.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
Did that drag on? For literally and figuratively weeks?
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Apparently so again, I was like, I gotta go. I've
got to go and get my shop. Exhorbers done running
around busy anyway, let's sort it all right.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
Hundreds of people saw you just dragging half your card
except me, not a man who's into actually, so it's
an interesting insight into your personality. So you're not interested
in my advice, you're not interested problems.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Now, you're not need to have any so sensitive I
was interested in your advice. I just didn't take it.
Mike's next new TOGSIV.
