Speaker 1 (00:01):
The issues, the interviews and the inside. Francesca Ruggin on
earlier show where One roof Love where You Live News Talk, said,
be good.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Morning, welcome to early edition. I'm Frechethie Rudkin filling in
for Rhan who's on Drive this week. Most welcome to
contact me anytime this morning. The text is ninety two
ninety two. My email is Francesca at Newstalk SDB dot
Cote own said, so we've got to show filled good
news view, which is how I like to end the week. Shortly,
our agriculture industry has some good ideas on how to
(00:31):
get young people into the sector. We look at how
the AB's are going to deal to the Wallabies on Saturday,
and before the end of the hour we talk fon
Terra and a record payday.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
The agenda.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
It's Friday, the twenty sixth of September. Former French president
Nicholas Ikozi has been sentenced to five years in jail
for criminal conspiracy. This is over illegal funds from Libbyan
leader Mua margad Arfi. He was cleared of other charges,
but says he appeal.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
I ask the French people whether they voted for me
or not whether they supported me or not to appreciate
what has just happened. Hatred truly knows no bounds. I
will take my responsibilities. I will comply with the summonses
of justice, and if they absolutely want me to sleep
in prison, I will sleep in prison with my head
held high.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Drones have shut down at Denmark Airport for the second
time this week. It comes in mid cyber attacks and
suspected Russian airspace violations, with police still investigating who's behind it.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
The suspicion is obvious. This is part of Vladimir Putin's
strategy without its being able to say anything concrete in
this case, as I said, but it is part of
what we experience every day. We are not at war,
but we are also no longer at complete peace.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Trump is hosting Turkish President Recep Tye yet Utuwan at
the White House, and.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
We've had tremendous relationships, both having to do with war
and having to do with trade, and I guess today
we're talking about both. I'd like to have them stop
buying any oil from Russia while Russia continues as rampage.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Urduwan's chasing deals worth tens of billions including f thirty
five fighter jets and more than two hundred commercial planes.
And finally, get this, a British childcare center has backed
down after trying to charge parents more than two thousand
dollars to take home their kids' artwork. The center claimed
the money would help pay off staff debts, but parents
(02:31):
pushed back, saying have a right to their children's portfolios
and photos.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
We sign consent forms at the start of the year
that actually say that the portfolios belong to us and
that parents have a right to manage their kid's sensitive information.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
And you'll be able to tell by the accent there
it was a Brisbane childcare center. Can you believe that?
Would you pay two thousand dollars for what is essentially
your children's kindy artwork? Don't get me wrong, I've kept
a couple of special pieces, but most of it just
got you as wrapping paper.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with
Francesca Rudkin and One roof Love where you Live News
Talks'd be.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
So Yesterday, an independent Auckland University report was released and
it said that Auckland's Eden Park Stadium could almost triple
its annual economic boost to the city if it actually
hosted the twelve concerts it's currently allowed to. So what
they discovered is that sports events are fabulous, but the
city would benefit more from concerts. So they did some modeling, right,
(03:35):
They looked at two scenarios within the current stadium's physical
and consented capacity, so what we could do right now.
One scenario looked at the maximum number of concerts. The
other scenario looked at the maximum number of rugby matches
and the impact that they have. They took a look
at what took place at eden Park from about November
twenty third to October twenty fourth, sort of. Most of
(03:55):
twenty twenty four, Eden Park had hosted twenty two sports
matches with a new GDP contribution of thirteen million, and
three concerts with a contribution of twenty four million. So
you can seehere this is going right. So if you
take that baseline, a maximum amount of concerts would contribute
net GDP of one hundred and seven million for concerts
compared to sixty point five million for sport. Now, we
(04:18):
love our sport and I'm not saying we should play
any less sport at eden Park, but we really do
need to sort out this nonsense around the restrictions on
the twelve concerts, right. I mean, you're allowed these twelve concerts,
but only from six artists, and there are restrictions on
how many per month and the days and the times
that they can be held. If you were in Auckland
for Coldplay or Pink, you could see it for yourself.
(04:39):
The city was heaving. This is such a simple way
to give Auckland a boost.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Chris Bishop is the minister looking after the RIMA reform.
He's leading an investigation into the local rules at Eden Park.
He too thinks the current restrictions are absurd and arbitrary,
but understandably he needs to do a fair review. But
concerts don't happen overnight. It takes quite a lot of
work to lock in a stadium concert. So maybe they
should use some of the dosh from the event attraction
(05:06):
package that was announced recently and get this review done
as quickly as possible. So at the beginning of this year,
Edenpark was granted twelve concerts, which was up from six.
Imagine if in twenty twenty six we could actually attend
twelve concerts.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Francisco and I think.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
The residents are over this drama too, aren't they. I
know that they hate the mess that can be created
by the large crowds, But who doesn't want some of
the biggest concerts of the year in your backyard. Keen
to hear from you? You can text on ninety two
ninety two. Up next, how do we get skilled people
into or young skilled people into the agriculture industry? It
is twelve past five years early edition.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
News and Views you trust to start your day. It's
earlier this ship with Francesca Rudgin and one roof Love
where you Live News Talks that'd be.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Fourteen past five. Good to have you with us. Our
agriculture industry claims the education system is letting it down.
Leaders from farming, forestry, horticulture and seafood have joined forces
to launch a bold new strategy. They're calling on government
to overhaul vocational education and save our economic future. Doctor
Elizabeth Heegue is the CEO of the New Zealand Forest
(06:16):
Owners Association and she's with me now. Good morning, Elizabeth,
Good morning. Hey where have all our skills young people gone?
What's going wrong here?
Speaker 7 (06:25):
Well?
Speaker 8 (06:25):
I think our concern is the current model is not
really facilitating employers to do the kind of on the
job training that we need to be able to do
to keep a vibrant food and fiber workforce here in
New Zealand. And so we're calling on the government. You know,
we're in the midst of the vocational education changes. Let's
work together right now to have a system that prioritizes
(06:48):
capability and not just credentials, and that focuses on the
impact of those learners on the economy.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Okay, so if this is going to be more employer
led to the employees want to do us absolutely.
Speaker 8 (07:02):
I mean, certainly I can speak to in forestry, we've
got a really high proportion of on the job training.
But we find right now that a lot of the
trainers and the employers are struggling with the level of
bureaucracy that they have to work through to do that training.
And so we'd really like, through the current reforms to
get to a system that enables them to do the training. Obviously,
(07:24):
you need to have standards, but we don't need to
have a whole lot of red tape wrapped around those
educational standards, and we can get out there and make
sure that we're training people on the ground to do
what they need to do.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Okay, I'll get to the training in just a moment.
Are there enough lower, lower entry level positions out there
as well?
Speaker 8 (07:44):
Yeah, I think there are. I mean, we've got a
lot of work to do in the primary sector and
obviously this year across the range of products that we
produce in New Zealand, you know, we're seeing growth in
a number of areas and the government strategy is around
further growth. To do that, we're going to need the
people to back that up, and that's going to require
(08:05):
that we're able to train those people. And I guess
one of the concerns that we've had is some of
the models that have been proposed would look at like
the number of learners. In some cases, we need specialty
skills that aren't going to have a high number in say,
you know, a specific trade in the primary sector, but
(08:26):
that person is critical to the overall success of the team,
and so we need to be able to maintain some
of those credentials that may not have a high number
of bums on seats, so to speak, but that actually
have a really high impact on our overall ability to
achieve that growth in the primary sector and of.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Course, that's where the becomes more cost efficient to be
learning on the job. Is it expensive to get trained?
Is it accessible for a lower income earner to get
up skills in the sector.
Speaker 8 (08:58):
I think what we would like to do is work
with the government. It really depends on the qualification. And
what we would like to do is work with the
government on that balance of the investment from the employer
and the investment of the government. And I think some
of that right now. You know, some of the polytechnic
models haven't been very cost efficient, and I can understand
(09:20):
why the government was looking at reform of those. But
I think our concern is you could end up transferring
a lot of costs onto the employers if we don't
set up a really a really dynamic system that's able
to work effectively on the ground. And we've got some
ideas about how we could work with the government so
(09:41):
that we're getting the most out of both the industry
investment and learners and the public investment in learners.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Thanks so much Elizabeth's talking us through this love a
solution to a problem that was doctor Elizabeth Haig. There
I mentioned it was going to be in Morning of
Good News. If you travel back and forward from New
Zealand to China or you're exporting. New airline is returning
to Auckland and it's going to be all year round.
Sichuan Airlines has announced it's returning to Auckland and it's
(10:09):
going to kick off December the seventh, and it is
expected to bring in one hundred and thirty million in
annual tourism spending up to one hundred and fifteen million
in cargo capacity for New Zealand exports and imports. So
I think it's about fifty flights a week connecting Auckland
with China, so that is good news as well for aviation.
It is eighteen past five. Up next, we're going to
(10:30):
talk to All Blacks and the Wallabies.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
The news you need this morning and the in depth
analysis earlier this year with Francesca Rudkin and One Root
Love where you Live News Talks at me Yes.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
So it's the great showdown between the All Blacks and
the Wallabies this Saturday night in Auckland. The in part
record is once again on the line and with the
Aussies in top shape, the All Blacks will need to
put on their best performance. There's a few changes to
the side with Ardie Savi's with Ardie Savia taking the
captaincy from Scott Barrett who's been ruled out through injury.
Elliott Smith, the Newstalk's There to Be Rugby commentator and editor,
(11:04):
is with us now. Good morning, Elliott, Morning Francisco or
There is nothing like an All Blacks team who have
a point to prove. Do you think I'm pretty sure
that we're going to see quite a different performance compared
to a couple of weeks ago against the spring Box.
How do you expect things to go on Saturday night?
Speaker 9 (11:19):
Well, you used to be able to expect a bit
of a backlash when the All Blacks were defeated, and
I think that is the the line in the sand.
That's what we expect when the All Blacks are defeated,
that the following match they turn up and they perform
and those things that they got wrong in the previous
match are righted. But we probably haven't seen that enough
in recent times to be able to seduce that that
(11:40):
will be a definite thing that will happen tomorrow. So
I guess from an All Blacks perspective, they've got to
turn up, they've got to perform. And they've got to
start finding some consistency. And they won't find that just
solely tomorrow night, but they need to lay the building
blocks there. I think that first and foremost is the
main thing is that every team in this competition has
two wins and two losses, and the All Blacks are
(12:02):
one of those sides. But coming off the back of
the heaviest ever defeat, there's an expectation that they will
turn back up and will deliver it, and they've got
to do that come tomorrow afternoon.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
What do you think about team selection bit risky.
Speaker 9 (12:14):
I think by and large, you know the changes that
made Cody Taylor comes back and Cam Broyguard, those are
first choice players. Caleb Clark deserves an opportunity on the wing.
He's bite at his time after coming back from injury,
so that makes sense. So by and large these are changes.
And then Adam Scott Barrett as well with the injury
that largely are you know, injury and forced or injury returnees.
(12:36):
And when you're bringing in the likes of Cody Taylor
that will stayble lows the line out and you would
think Cam broy Gard was heavily missed. I thinking Argentina
and again against South Africa. He's closing and I think
on being one of the best half backs in the world.
So we can bring those two players and I think
it instantly bolsters the All Blacks run on side and
then toy Pelozzo and ratam are coming off the bench,
(12:57):
add some more experience there that the All backs haven't
been able to to call on. So they're getting some
cavalry back and at a time that it as much
needed as they as you said, try to protect this
Eden part record, keep the Blitters low cut, which is
the only trophy they've gotten, the cabinet that they need
to keep hold of, so it couldn't happen at a
bit of time those players coming back into the mix.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
So that's pretty much what is a stake here for
the All Blakes. What about the coaching the coaches, I.
Speaker 9 (13:21):
Think they've got a point to prove Dome absolutely and
you know pressure comes on them and the scrutiny that's
in there. I know they had a pretty tough review
at the start of the week on Sunday night around
what was expected of the players after that game in Wellington,
but also what was expected of the coaches. And you
know losses, you know they trade in wins coaches, and
(13:42):
when they're not winning, the eyes come on the end.
So Scott Robertson would desperately love a victory and a
big victory to eat some of that pressure valve. But
it only goes so far because if they win tomorrow
afternoon and they've got to back it up again in person.
That consistency is what we're demanding of this All Blacks
team and what has been historically demanded of that.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Elliott Smith, as always, thank you so much for your
time this morning. Don't forget join Elliott tomorrow on Goldsport
or News Talks Z'DB. He is going to be bringing
the game live to you and early kickoff five five
pm twenty four, Part.

Speaker 6 (14:23):
SO.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Yesterday, PPTA members secondary school teachers voted to make addressing
online extremism and official policy and are now pushing for
government action. Teachers say they are seeing more misogyny from
young boys as well as in a phobia and anti
Mauldi rhetoric, and I believe them. Sit down with your
teenager and ask them about Andrew Tate or Trump or
trade wives, which are some of the complaints, and they're
(14:45):
all over it. And yes it is driven by social
media and algorithms and their peers. So I do understand
the teachers concerns, but it's not for the government to fix.
I'll get to the teachers in a minute. But this
is primarily an issue for parents. It's parents who are
responsible for setting the tone when it comes to their
children's beliefs and values, and as they grow and almost
(15:06):
inevitably push back against their parents and their ideas while
they develop their own. It's also on the parents to
listen and without judgment and courage open discussion. It's parents
we need to get into the trenches with our teenagers
and have those difficult conversations so that we understand where
they're coming from and why, for example, a young man
might have been drawn into a toxic online culture of masculinity.
(15:28):
Only then perhaps can we be in a position to
do something about it. I'm sure the teachers are right
when they say parents aren't fully aware of the content
their children are being exposed to. I chat to my
teenagers about contentious people and issues on social media and
the news and I'm curious to know whether they're aware
of it, and sometimes I just have to act very
(15:48):
cool and hide my surprise when I discover that not
only are they cross it, but they've researched it, thought
about it, and will already have formed an opinion. Parents
are so far behind. Sometimes obviously, if a teacher hears
something harmful or disgusting, if they feel someone's been radicalized
to a point where the person or others aren't safety, Yes,
it needs to be challenged. We don't want to be
(16:09):
We don't want this to be normalized, although many teenagers
will tell you it already is. But just as many
schools put phone bands in place before it was legalized,
schools can have guidelines for acceptable behavior in a classroom
without government interference. But when it comes to political ideology,
Trump or trade wives or canceling people, we need to
encourage debate and teach young people to disagree agreeably. Teachers
(16:33):
are at the forefront of this and may well bear
the brunt of it. It's easy to say that teachers
should use these moments as constructive exercises and critical thinking,
and I'm sure that many of them do, but others
will be terrified of being accused by parents of indoctrinating
their children. So there is undoubtedly room for greater media
(16:54):
literacy when it comes to understanding misinformation, disinformations in a phobia, misogyny.
But teach have got other things on their plates, so parents,
you're up.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Franchiseco.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
The thing is that online extremism in what comes from it,
it doesn't just actually exist in the classroom. It's outside,
in the playground, it's at home. It's constant, it is everywhere.
So actually it's not necessarily on the teachers or the
government disorted out in schools. It's actually on all of us.
We're all responsible. Can to hear your thoughts. You can
(17:27):
text on ninety two ninety two News is up next
to You're with early editions.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
The first Word on the News of the day Early
Edition with Francesca Rudkin and one roof Love where you
live News talks that'd be like whatever.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Is this jury edition? On news Chalks. I'm fredisca Rugby
and filling in Ryan. You can catch Ryan on Drive today.
Thanks so much for being with us, and the next
half hour we're going to head to Europe where former
French president Nicholas Sarkozy has been sentenced to five years
in jail for conspiracy. I think this is the third
time he's been convicted. I think there were two previous
convictions for corruption. Anyway, we're going to find out whether
(18:24):
he'll actually do some jail time. And Federated Farmer's Dairy
chair Carl Deene is with me before six to talk
about what fon Terra's great result means for farmers and
potentially the government and the rest of us. Right, thank
you for your feedback. Bre Eden Park more than a Francesca.
As an adult whose childhood was living three streets away
(18:44):
from Eden Park, my parents brought our house, knowing full
well about rugby and cricket matches. I can even remember
the Osmond's performing there in the early eighties. It was
exciting and acceptable and heck here our house and front
yard always had rubbish and litter, which us kids benefitted
from for purposes of pocket money. Dad even charged two
dollars for close to park parking. It was fun and
(19:06):
accepted back then. Why not now? Thank you for your
text v another one. They just give the local some
money or free tickets, they should chut them up. I
don't think they're a huge problem. I think what's happened is,
once again we've just really over complicated everything when we
put this in place, we just tried to take every
box and we just made it really, really complicated, and
it doesn't need to be that complicated. Its twenty two
(19:29):
to six Francisca. Right, let's head around the country, joining
us from Dunedin as callum practical morning, callum.
Speaker 10 (19:37):
Morning, Francisca.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
So kvy's a calling for more government protection from global catastrophes.
Speaker 10 (19:44):
Yeah, that's according to an Ottaga University study here, which
has revealed two thirds of New Zealanders want the government
to develop strategies to deal with catastrophic disasters. So that's
events like nuclear war, bioengineered diseases, or rogue artificial and
talent gents sixty six percent. So they want to see
a dedicated agency or officer set up to assess and
(20:06):
prepare for these risks. Professor Nick Wilson's behind the study.
He says we're well prepared for natural disasters, but poorly
equipped to cope with global shocks. He says we have
to make use of New Zealand's unique positioning as a
remote island nation and build our resilience because we'd be
in big trouble in a trade ending disaster.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
And in Eden's weather today callum.
Speaker 10 (20:26):
Showers some possibly heavy and thundery with hail today the
high thirteen sounding fabulous.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Thank you have a good day. Claire Shrewood is in
christ yet, Good morning, Claire, good morning. Okay, so our
high profile property developer, isn't it a bit of trouble
with the Christier City Council? But maybe not for what
you'd think.
Speaker 11 (20:43):
Yeah, not for what you'd think. Necessarily. This is Williams
Corporation Managing Director Matthew horn Castle. Now what he did
on the sixteenth of this month was post a photo
of his voting papers online, sharing that to about sixty
nine thousand followers across a few different pages, his Facebook,
ha his LinkedIn and his Instagram. Now the council has
(21:05):
confirmed it's receipt a number of complaints. It also requested
the post be removed the day following the post, but
ten days later it's still there on all of his
social media pages. It is an offense under the Local
Electoral Acts to publish a picture of a voting document influencing.
Speaker 8 (21:21):
Who others should vote for.
Speaker 11 (21:23):
The thing is it is fine to share who you
voted for and to add even the reasons for that,
but it's the image of the voting paper itself that's
the problem. Porncastle, though, says it's a case of him
acting in free expression and is not an attempt to
interfere with others.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Okay, and the weather today in christ Ex Claire.
Speaker 11 (21:39):
Cloudy today, a few showers about mainly late this morning
and then again by evening. Normally is turning westerly and
we should reach sixteen degrees.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Thanks so much, Claire. And look, if you like me,
are sitting at home looking at your voting papers, going
I must send those. They need to be in the
post by October seventh. Neva's looking at me like that,
appalling that I haven't got that done yet. It's on
the list never, I promise. Where We're hitting to Wellington
now with a rather intriguing story. Himex, how are you
good morning? Good So tell me about this mirural office
(22:08):
disc stuffed with secret files which was sold to a
guard the dump.
Speaker 12 (22:13):
This may be the best story of the year. It
is certainly my favorite and an incredible yarn from our newsrooms.
Ethan Minia builder Raymond Morgan went to his local dumps
tip shop, fancied the look of a new desk he
saw there, picked it up for a song, looked inside
once he got home. Couldn't believe his eyes. Hundreds and
hundreds of pages of some of the most sensitive, highly
(22:33):
confidential Wellington City Council documents. We're talking sexual several termination agreements,
sexual harassment claims, serious stuff complaints, whistleblower allegations, staff pay details.
The desk apparently had been just left as it was
when the council had to move, had to vacate their
old premises at the town Hall, so the documents are
(22:54):
pre twenty thirteen. This part's infuriating. Though he called the
council first, he didn't come to us. He called the
council to say what he had found and was apparently
brushed off as a bit of a crackpot. He's not.
He asked his local ratepayers group online about it. What
should he do? That's how our newsroom caught wind of it.
He can't believe the council's incompetence. Dame fran Wilde, she's
commented on this, calls it appalling. The council itself tried
(23:16):
to brush it off to us initially as well. It
now says it's investigating. You can read this astonishing story
online or in today's paper.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Well, what is it about Wellington and it's council and
its delicious gossip and things?
Speaker 12 (23:28):
Honestly, Max not doing much to beat the allegations, that's
for sure.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Wellington's weather today it is.
Speaker 12 (23:34):
Cloudy, a bit of rain, very strong wind, fourteen the hay.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Thanks so much, Bex. Have a good weekend. And neither
Bricky Manu was in the studio.
Speaker 13 (23:42):
I have to put my five scenes worse in here? Okay,
has the council never heard of a shreder? You know
we've even used works? Be'st got a shredder? Hikey, I
hear it?
Speaker 2 (23:53):
What winding up?
Speaker 12 (23:54):
You know?
Speaker 13 (23:55):
Did you know what this shredder sounds like?
Speaker 9 (23:56):
Right?
Speaker 13 (23:56):
Well, there goes by contract. Oh god, come on, well
you're quite right about Wellington. I'm sitting here shaking my
head anyway.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
You were shaking your head at me too, EXA haven't
send time my voting papers, like got another week?
Speaker 1 (24:10):
I want to head of believe it.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Fred chescat.
Speaker 13 (24:13):
As soon as I got my papers in mind, you
I am a bit of a girly swat.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
I went through the booklet. The booklet was a bit dry.
Speaker 13 (24:22):
I was saying to Ryan a couple of weeks ago,
the photos, it's all based on the photos of the candidates.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Just like you're dating. Because that's right.
Speaker 13 (24:33):
What do they look like?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Are they're good looking?
Speaker 7 (24:35):
They do?
Speaker 13 (24:36):
They look but anyway is and I straight away, you know,
sent it off.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
That same day you were going to talk about this
independent report that's found that Edenpact really should making the
most of the twelve concerts. It would contribute so much
more to Auckland. We've been talking about you and I've
got a bit of an idea. I think we should
take some of this money neither that we that's been
put aside for the event attraction package that was announced recently,
and just used that to get this wal done a sap. Yeah,
(25:01):
done real quick and it's.
Speaker 13 (25:02):
Move on absolutely. I mean Nix Saunton, Eden Park's CEO
is is not you know what. They'd love to have
these concerts, but there are barriers preventing that. You know,
if you can't have that the ability not to hold
the concerts on Sunday. But that all of that, but hey,
there's a vibe that's going to be happening at Eden
Park tomorrow with that maybe, And you know, I'm so
pleased your five pm start so in that afternoon.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Do not like it?
Speaker 13 (25:25):
I think it's great.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
It's either two thirty maybe or seven five is too early?
I like it. The sit down on. Tell me the
weather today? Showers in the evening.
Speaker 13 (25:41):
Oh, no showers today, but then the rain will be
heavy tonight. The high is eighteen. I think it's going
to be there'll be showery tomorrow. Okay for the game,
and you know wind as well, but who cares because
it's going to be a great game. People tune up.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Both teams have to do. What will you be doing?
Speaker 13 (25:59):
You'll be making your flop and dinner so you can
sit down. We'll all be lunch.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
I've ought to be.
Speaker 13 (26:03):
Breakfast for conness, sacred cheese.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
I'll be on the couch ready to go. Thank you
so much. Nuva is always a pleasure. What do I
doing next? I think I'll go to a break It's
fifteen to.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Six International correspondence with insign Eye Insurance Peace of Mind
for New Zealand Business.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
And Vincent Mecavini joins me now from Europe. Morning. Vincent,
Good morning. Former French president Nicholas Sarkozy has been sentenced
to five years in jazz. Is this the third conviction?
There were two previous ones for corruption, weren't there?
Speaker 9 (26:38):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 14 (26:38):
He's had a pretty checkered pass since he left office.
He was, of course a president of France prior to
the Francis Holans and he was sentenced now to five
years in jail. So he's going from the Elise Palace
to jail. And this is in a case relating to
(27:00):
millions of euros of illicit funds from the late Libyan leader,
Colonel Walmerga Daffy. Now there wasn't a charge, there wasn't
a successful conviction of sort of having the campaign finances themselves.
This is all about a conspiracy to get money out
of Libya for his election campaigning. He was president twenty
(27:22):
seven to twenty twelve, so quite a while ago now,
But this case has worked its way through the French
justice system and in exchange, he was reportedly going to
help sort of wash Gadaffi's international reputation. He was a
pariah at this point and he You're acted pretty strongly
in court, taking down the justice system and being very
affronted and quite shocked, it seemed, at the fact that
(27:43):
he is actually going to have to spend time in prison.
His wife, the supermodel Carla Brunei, was standing next to him,
also looking fairly shell shocked by it.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Do you think he will have to spend five years
in prison?
Speaker 14 (27:56):
I don't know if he will spell in the full
five years, but I think it's very like he is
going to appeal against this, but he is going to
have to spend a couple of years, it seems, in
prison until potentially the results of that appeal.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Vincent meccadannny, thank you so much for the update. Appreciate it.
It is ten to six franchise good right. Farmers are
getting a record payday. Fonterra has delivered one of its
best results ever, with a net profit at one point
oh wait billion dollars, shares a jump to just over
six dollars, the high since two thy and eighteen, and
(28:29):
shareholders get a record dividend of fifty seven cents a share.
Carl Deane, the Federated Farmer's Dairy Terr is with me now.
Good morning, Thanks for your time, Carl. Good morning, record
record results across the board. How happy the farmers today?
Speaker 7 (28:44):
I think fathers are pretty esthetic about hearing a strong
farm rate look for us as well as a very
strong dividend.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Like you said, where will that money go with their
investments that need to be made or debt to pay down?
Speaker 7 (29:01):
I think it's very important to realize that the farmers
actually haven't had very a great rate of return or
a great profit with the high on farm costs the
last two to three seasons, so a lot of us
is probably going back into bank debt, back into paying
do some capital projects that have been put on hold
(29:22):
for the last couple of years, all those sort of
things that we like to do. You know, we only
have the opportunity to do it for a couple of years.
When they're doing there is actually profit made and more importantly,
yes there will be some obviously some tasks reven for
the government.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Hence we all benefit. Right. Do you think farmers will
also store some of that money away for a rainy
day rather than sort of having a wild time at
field days next year?
Speaker 7 (29:50):
I think most farmers, you know, we've been around around
quite a while. I suppose and we know that there's
not normally two record payouts, right, Okay, the last time
there was a record then there was a quite a
significant drop the following season, So sometimes there's things that
(30:11):
are one off. Sometimes they might stay out for two seasons,
but normally it does come down again.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
So expectations are in check. How much is Fontira kept
for itself, Carl.
Speaker 7 (30:25):
I don't believe Froontira's information outside sure, I haven't seen
any information on the.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Chief that was under the impression that they had kept
a substantial amounts themselves, which I was just wondering, you know,
how if that's the right decision given the current economic
and trade out lock.
Speaker 7 (30:48):
Yes, yeah, I think they have. Obviously they get some
of the earnings per year, and we kept about fifteen
to eighteen cents, and then they are obviously going to
if the divestment went through, there's money of that that
would stay in the corporative as well.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Someone made a commenter in the newsroom of gosh, you know,
do you think that there might be a little bit
of angst from regular Kiwi's doing it tough, that they'll
see this great result and get jealous. And I thought
I don't think so. We all benefit from the start.
We Carl, farmers are at the forefront of our economic recovery.
Speaker 7 (31:22):
Yes, well, I've said that at the end of the day,
profit means tax. That's probably the key thing that peoples
to realize is when farmers are making a profit, that
means that the tax takes loight and that all helps
when it comes to the governments able to spend money.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
So in summary, Carl, farmers are ecstatic today, but they're
being cautious and you know about about the future pretty
much sums it up.
Speaker 7 (31:53):
Yes, yes, we all are under the understanding that, yeah,
costs may come up again and income they drop.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Carl, good to talk to you. Thank you for your
time this morning. That was Fedata Farmer's a dairy chair.
My Costing is in the studio with me.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Next get ahead of the headlines on an early edition
with Francesca Rudger and one roof Love Where you live
News talks at me.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
My Costking, Good morning, greetings. Have you ever been to
Nest Kitchen and Bar in Queenstown. No, I have not,
just got a very good result on trip Advisor. Do
you believe those Well, I suppose it's people who've been there,
who are making sang what they think. So you know
it's not next it's not.
Speaker 15 (32:36):
It's like talking to you mother, isn't it. Did you
have a good time?
Speaker 12 (32:38):
Yes?
Speaker 15 (32:38):
I did? I mean what does that mean? Well, I
think it's been good on them anything that promotes, because
of course Amisphere is the famous one that gets all
the award. Yes, so if things are going well in
Queenstown and hospital's going well in Queenstown, then good luck
to them.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
One of a kind category is wanted. It was also
listed among the world's best date night restaurants. I'm sure
Kate would love a visit.
Speaker 15 (32:57):
But when you say the world, I mean, really, how
many people are you're dealing with? Yeah, I mean, honestly,
is it a million people who have gone to all
the different restaurants. There's a few thousand people who have
just wandered throughout the time. Oh d YEA it could
be a date night restaurant, couldn't there any place is
a good date night restaurant? You know our favorite date
night where we go home, we sit at home, we
sit at the counter and we chat away and we
(33:19):
had a bit of leg on no no, a bit
of old League I thought he said a bit of
leg on.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Oh no, but I don't need to hear that. I
don't need to hear that.
Speaker 15 (33:26):
No, we don't know that bit of leg on. But
we sit at the counter and we have a little chat.
Speaker 12 (33:29):
We have got it.
Speaker 15 (33:30):
Anywhere's a date night. It's all about the attitude. I
got to Slow Horses, by the way after last night
only fifteen minutes because stuff happened. One of the children
came home and wanted things done, so that that got stopped. Unfortunately,
it looked to me first episode, it looked slightly slow.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
It looked a bit just give it a couple and
then it switches. Give it good about three yepcent? It switches.
What have you got on the show?
Speaker 15 (33:53):
Well, we got a little something bit of an exclusive
actually franchise. Oh have you insight into the court system
and things that they're reforming courses, the number of cases
they deal with, how often they you know, and so
things are improving markedly. Actually, So we'll do that. We'll
look at the Voluntier result and Scott Robinson is here
to explain how they're going to win.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Fantastic. I love it. Mike Hoskin is with you next
have a great day. Join me Sunday on the Sunday
Session Ken follow it is my guest. Take Care.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
For more from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge. Listen live
to News Talks it Be from five am weekdays, or
follow the podcast on iHeartRadio
The issues, the interviews and the inside. Francesca Ruggin on
earlier show where One roof Love where You Live News Talk, said,
be good.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Morning, welcome to early edition. I'm Frechethie Rudkin filling in
for Rhan who's on Drive this week. Most welcome to
contact me anytime this morning. The text is ninety two
ninety two. My email is Francesca at Newstalk SDB dot
Cote own said, so we've got to show filled good
news view, which is how I like to end the week. Shortly,
our agriculture industry has some good ideas on how to
(00:31):
get young people into the sector. We look at how
the AB's are going to deal to the Wallabies on Saturday,
and before the end of the hour we talk fon
Terra and a record payday.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
The agenda.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
It's Friday, the twenty sixth of September. Former French president
Nicholas Ikozi has been sentenced to five years in jail
for criminal conspiracy. This is over illegal funds from Libbyan
leader Mua margad Arfi. He was cleared of other charges,
but says he appeal.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
I ask the French people whether they voted for me
or not whether they supported me or not to appreciate
what has just happened. Hatred truly knows no bounds. I
will take my responsibilities. I will comply with the summonses
of justice, and if they absolutely want me to sleep
in prison, I will sleep in prison with my head
held high.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Drones have shut down at Denmark Airport for the second
time this week. It comes in mid cyber attacks and
suspected Russian airspace violations, with police still investigating who's behind it.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
The suspicion is obvious. This is part of Vladimir Putin's
strategy without its being able to say anything concrete in
this case, as I said, but it is part of
what we experience every day. We are not at war,
but we are also no longer at complete peace.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Trump is hosting Turkish President Recep Tye yet Utuwan at
the White House, and.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
We've had tremendous relationships, both having to do with war
and having to do with trade, and I guess today
we're talking about both. I'd like to have them stop
buying any oil from Russia while Russia continues as rampage.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Urduwan's chasing deals worth tens of billions including f thirty
five fighter jets and more than two hundred commercial planes.
And finally, get this, a British childcare center has backed
down after trying to charge parents more than two thousand
dollars to take home their kids' artwork. The center claimed
the money would help pay off staff debts, but parents
(02:31):
pushed back, saying have a right to their children's portfolios
and photos.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
We sign consent forms at the start of the year
that actually say that the portfolios belong to us and
that parents have a right to manage their kid's sensitive information.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
And you'll be able to tell by the accent there
it was a Brisbane childcare center. Can you believe that?
Would you pay two thousand dollars for what is essentially
your children's kindy artwork? Don't get me wrong, I've kept
a couple of special pieces, but most of it just
got you as wrapping paper.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with
Francesca Rudkin and One roof Love where you Live News
Talks'd be.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
So Yesterday, an independent Auckland University report was released and
it said that Auckland's Eden Park Stadium could almost triple
its annual economic boost to the city if it actually
hosted the twelve concerts it's currently allowed to. So what
they discovered is that sports events are fabulous, but the
city would benefit more from concerts. So they did some modeling, right,
(03:35):
They looked at two scenarios within the current stadium's physical
and consented capacity, so what we could do right now.
One scenario looked at the maximum number of concerts. The
other scenario looked at the maximum number of rugby matches
and the impact that they have. They took a look
at what took place at eden Park from about November
twenty third to October twenty fourth, sort of. Most of
(03:55):
twenty twenty four, Eden Park had hosted twenty two sports
matches with a new GDP contribution of thirteen million, and
three concerts with a contribution of twenty four million. So
you can seehere this is going right. So if you
take that baseline, a maximum amount of concerts would contribute
net GDP of one hundred and seven million for concerts
compared to sixty point five million for sport. Now, we
(04:18):
love our sport and I'm not saying we should play
any less sport at eden Park, but we really do
need to sort out this nonsense around the restrictions on
the twelve concerts, right. I mean, you're allowed these twelve concerts,
but only from six artists, and there are restrictions on
how many per month and the days and the times
that they can be held. If you were in Auckland
for Coldplay or Pink, you could see it for yourself.
(04:39):
The city was heaving. This is such a simple way
to give Auckland a boost.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Chris Bishop is the minister looking after the RIMA reform.
He's leading an investigation into the local rules at Eden Park.
He too thinks the current restrictions are absurd and arbitrary,
but understandably he needs to do a fair review. But
concerts don't happen overnight. It takes quite a lot of
work to lock in a stadium concert. So maybe they
should use some of the dosh from the event attraction
(05:06):
package that was announced recently and get this review done
as quickly as possible. So at the beginning of this year,
Edenpark was granted twelve concerts, which was up from six.
Imagine if in twenty twenty six we could actually attend
twelve concerts.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Francisco and I think.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
The residents are over this drama too, aren't they. I
know that they hate the mess that can be created
by the large crowds, But who doesn't want some of
the biggest concerts of the year in your backyard. Keen
to hear from you? You can text on ninety two
ninety two. Up next, how do we get skilled people
into or young skilled people into the agriculture industry? It
is twelve past five years early edition.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
News and Views you trust to start your day. It's
earlier this ship with Francesca Rudgin and one roof Love
where you Live News Talks that'd be.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Fourteen past five. Good to have you with us. Our
agriculture industry claims the education system is letting it down.
Leaders from farming, forestry, horticulture and seafood have joined forces
to launch a bold new strategy. They're calling on government
to overhaul vocational education and save our economic future. Doctor
Elizabeth Heegue is the CEO of the New Zealand Forest
(06:16):
Owners Association and she's with me now. Good morning, Elizabeth,
Good morning. Hey where have all our skills young people gone?
What's going wrong here?
Speaker 7 (06:25):
Well?
Speaker 8 (06:25):
I think our concern is the current model is not
really facilitating employers to do the kind of on the
job training that we need to be able to do
to keep a vibrant food and fiber workforce here in
New Zealand. And so we're calling on the government. You know,
we're in the midst of the vocational education changes. Let's
work together right now to have a system that prioritizes
(06:48):
capability and not just credentials, and that focuses on the
impact of those learners on the economy.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Okay, so if this is going to be more employer
led to the employees want to do us absolutely.
Speaker 8 (07:02):
I mean, certainly I can speak to in forestry, we've
got a really high proportion of on the job training.
But we find right now that a lot of the
trainers and the employers are struggling with the level of
bureaucracy that they have to work through to do that training.
And so we'd really like, through the current reforms to
get to a system that enables them to do the training. Obviously,
(07:24):
you need to have standards, but we don't need to
have a whole lot of red tape wrapped around those
educational standards, and we can get out there and make
sure that we're training people on the ground to do
what they need to do.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Okay, I'll get to the training in just a moment.
Are there enough lower, lower entry level positions out there
as well?
Speaker 8 (07:44):
Yeah, I think there are. I mean, we've got a
lot of work to do in the primary sector and
obviously this year across the range of products that we
produce in New Zealand, you know, we're seeing growth in
a number of areas and the government strategy is around
further growth. To do that, we're going to need the
people to back that up, and that's going to require
(08:05):
that we're able to train those people. And I guess
one of the concerns that we've had is some of
the models that have been proposed would look at like
the number of learners. In some cases, we need specialty
skills that aren't going to have a high number in say,
you know, a specific trade in the primary sector, but
(08:26):
that person is critical to the overall success of the team,
and so we need to be able to maintain some
of those credentials that may not have a high number
of bums on seats, so to speak, but that actually
have a really high impact on our overall ability to
achieve that growth in the primary sector and of.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Course, that's where the becomes more cost efficient to be
learning on the job. Is it expensive to get trained?
Is it accessible for a lower income earner to get
up skills in the sector.
Speaker 8 (08:58):
I think what we would like to do is work
with the government. It really depends on the qualification. And
what we would like to do is work with the
government on that balance of the investment from the employer
and the investment of the government. And I think some
of that right now. You know, some of the polytechnic
models haven't been very cost efficient, and I can understand
(09:20):
why the government was looking at reform of those. But
I think our concern is you could end up transferring
a lot of costs onto the employers if we don't
set up a really a really dynamic system that's able
to work effectively on the ground. And we've got some
ideas about how we could work with the government so
(09:41):
that we're getting the most out of both the industry
investment and learners and the public investment in learners.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Thanks so much Elizabeth's talking us through this love a
solution to a problem that was doctor Elizabeth Haig. There
I mentioned it was going to be in Morning of
Good News. If you travel back and forward from New
Zealand to China or you're exporting. New airline is returning
to Auckland and it's going to be all year round.
Sichuan Airlines has announced it's returning to Auckland and it's
(10:09):
going to kick off December the seventh, and it is
expected to bring in one hundred and thirty million in
annual tourism spending up to one hundred and fifteen million
in cargo capacity for New Zealand exports and imports. So
I think it's about fifty flights a week connecting Auckland
with China, so that is good news as well for aviation.
It is eighteen past five. Up next, we're going to
(10:30):
talk to All Blacks and the Wallabies.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
The news you need this morning and the in depth
analysis earlier this year with Francesca Rudkin and One Root
Love where you Live News Talks at me Yes.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
So it's the great showdown between the All Blacks and
the Wallabies this Saturday night in Auckland. The in part
record is once again on the line and with the
Aussies in top shape, the All Blacks will need to
put on their best performance. There's a few changes to
the side with Ardie Savi's with Ardie Savia taking the
captaincy from Scott Barrett who's been ruled out through injury.
Elliott Smith, the Newstalk's There to Be Rugby commentator and editor,
(11:04):
is with us now. Good morning, Elliott, Morning Francisco or
There is nothing like an All Blacks team who have
a point to prove. Do you think I'm pretty sure
that we're going to see quite a different performance compared
to a couple of weeks ago against the spring Box.
How do you expect things to go on Saturday night?
Speaker 9 (11:19):
Well, you used to be able to expect a bit
of a backlash when the All Blacks were defeated, and
I think that is the the line in the sand.
That's what we expect when the All Blacks are defeated,
that the following match they turn up and they perform
and those things that they got wrong in the previous
match are righted. But we probably haven't seen that enough
in recent times to be able to seduce that that
(11:40):
will be a definite thing that will happen tomorrow. So
I guess from an All Blacks perspective, they've got to
turn up, they've got to perform. And they've got to
start finding some consistency. And they won't find that just
solely tomorrow night, but they need to lay the building
blocks there. I think that first and foremost is the
main thing is that every team in this competition has
two wins and two losses, and the All Blacks are
(12:02):
one of those sides. But coming off the back of
the heaviest ever defeat, there's an expectation that they will
turn back up and will deliver it, and they've got
to do that come tomorrow afternoon.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
What do you think about team selection bit risky.
Speaker 9 (12:14):
I think by and large, you know the changes that
made Cody Taylor comes back and Cam Broyguard, those are
first choice players. Caleb Clark deserves an opportunity on the wing.
He's bite at his time after coming back from injury,
so that makes sense. So by and large these are changes.
And then Adam Scott Barrett as well with the injury
that largely are you know, injury and forced or injury returnees.
(12:36):
And when you're bringing in the likes of Cody Taylor
that will stayble lows the line out and you would
think Cam broy Gard was heavily missed. I thinking Argentina
and again against South Africa. He's closing and I think
on being one of the best half backs in the world.
So we can bring those two players and I think
it instantly bolsters the All Blacks run on side and
then toy Pelozzo and ratam are coming off the bench,
(12:57):
add some more experience there that the All backs haven't
been able to to call on. So they're getting some
cavalry back and at a time that it as much
needed as they as you said, try to protect this
Eden part record, keep the Blitters low cut, which is
the only trophy they've gotten, the cabinet that they need
to keep hold of, so it couldn't happen at a
bit of time those players coming back into the mix.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
So that's pretty much what is a stake here for
the All Blakes. What about the coaching the coaches, I.
Speaker 9 (13:21):
Think they've got a point to prove Dome absolutely and
you know pressure comes on them and the scrutiny that's
in there. I know they had a pretty tough review
at the start of the week on Sunday night around
what was expected of the players after that game in Wellington,
but also what was expected of the coaches. And you
know losses, you know they trade in wins coaches, and
(13:42):
when they're not winning, the eyes come on the end.
So Scott Robertson would desperately love a victory and a
big victory to eat some of that pressure valve. But
it only goes so far because if they win tomorrow
afternoon and they've got to back it up again in person.
That consistency is what we're demanding of this All Blacks
team and what has been historically demanded of that.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Elliott Smith, as always, thank you so much for your
time this morning. Don't forget join Elliott tomorrow on Goldsport
or News Talks Z'DB. He is going to be bringing
the game live to you and early kickoff five five
pm twenty four, Part.

Speaker 6 (14:23):
SO.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Yesterday, PPTA members secondary school teachers voted to make addressing
online extremism and official policy and are now pushing for
government action. Teachers say they are seeing more misogyny from
young boys as well as in a phobia and anti
Mauldi rhetoric, and I believe them. Sit down with your
teenager and ask them about Andrew Tate or Trump or
trade wives, which are some of the complaints, and they're
(14:45):
all over it. And yes it is driven by social
media and algorithms and their peers. So I do understand
the teachers concerns, but it's not for the government to fix.
I'll get to the teachers in a minute. But this
is primarily an issue for parents. It's parents who are
responsible for setting the tone when it comes to their
children's beliefs and values, and as they grow and almost
(15:06):
inevitably push back against their parents and their ideas while
they develop their own. It's also on the parents to
listen and without judgment and courage open discussion. It's parents
we need to get into the trenches with our teenagers
and have those difficult conversations so that we understand where
they're coming from and why, for example, a young man
might have been drawn into a toxic online culture of masculinity.
(15:28):
Only then perhaps can we be in a position to
do something about it. I'm sure the teachers are right
when they say parents aren't fully aware of the content
their children are being exposed to. I chat to my
teenagers about contentious people and issues on social media and
the news and I'm curious to know whether they're aware
of it, and sometimes I just have to act very
(15:48):
cool and hide my surprise when I discover that not
only are they cross it, but they've researched it, thought
about it, and will already have formed an opinion. Parents
are so far behind. Sometimes obviously, if a teacher hears
something harmful or disgusting, if they feel someone's been radicalized
to a point where the person or others aren't safety, Yes,
it needs to be challenged. We don't want to be
(16:09):
We don't want this to be normalized, although many teenagers
will tell you it already is. But just as many
schools put phone bands in place before it was legalized,
schools can have guidelines for acceptable behavior in a classroom
without government interference. But when it comes to political ideology,
Trump or trade wives or canceling people, we need to
encourage debate and teach young people to disagree agreeably. Teachers
(16:33):
are at the forefront of this and may well bear
the brunt of it. It's easy to say that teachers
should use these moments as constructive exercises and critical thinking,
and I'm sure that many of them do, but others
will be terrified of being accused by parents of indoctrinating
their children. So there is undoubtedly room for greater media
(16:54):
literacy when it comes to understanding misinformation, disinformations in a phobia, misogyny.
But teach have got other things on their plates, so parents,
you're up.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Franchiseco.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
The thing is that online extremism in what comes from it,
it doesn't just actually exist in the classroom. It's outside,
in the playground, it's at home. It's constant, it is everywhere.
So actually it's not necessarily on the teachers or the
government disorted out in schools. It's actually on all of us.
We're all responsible. Can to hear your thoughts. You can
(17:27):
text on ninety two ninety two News is up next
to You're with early editions.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
The first Word on the News of the day Early
Edition with Francesca Rudkin and one roof Love where you
live News talks that'd be like whatever.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Is this jury edition? On news Chalks. I'm fredisca Rugby
and filling in Ryan. You can catch Ryan on Drive today.
Thanks so much for being with us, and the next
half hour we're going to head to Europe where former
French president Nicholas Sarkozy has been sentenced to five years
in jail for conspiracy. I think this is the third
time he's been convicted. I think there were two previous
convictions for corruption. Anyway, we're going to find out whether
(18:24):
he'll actually do some jail time. And Federated Farmer's Dairy
chair Carl Deene is with me before six to talk
about what fon Terra's great result means for farmers and
potentially the government and the rest of us. Right, thank
you for your feedback. Bre Eden Park more than a Francesca.
As an adult whose childhood was living three streets away
(18:44):
from Eden Park, my parents brought our house, knowing full
well about rugby and cricket matches. I can even remember
the Osmond's performing there in the early eighties. It was
exciting and acceptable and heck here our house and front
yard always had rubbish and litter, which us kids benefitted
from for purposes of pocket money. Dad even charged two
dollars for close to park parking. It was fun and
(19:06):
accepted back then. Why not now? Thank you for your
text v another one. They just give the local some
money or free tickets, they should chut them up. I
don't think they're a huge problem. I think what's happened is,
once again we've just really over complicated everything when we
put this in place, we just tried to take every
box and we just made it really, really complicated, and
it doesn't need to be that complicated. Its twenty two
(19:29):
to six Francisca. Right, let's head around the country, joining
us from Dunedin as callum practical morning, callum.
Speaker 10 (19:37):
Morning, Francisca.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
So kvy's a calling for more government protection from global catastrophes.
Speaker 10 (19:44):
Yeah, that's according to an Ottaga University study here, which
has revealed two thirds of New Zealanders want the government
to develop strategies to deal with catastrophic disasters. So that's
events like nuclear war, bioengineered diseases, or rogue artificial and
talent gents sixty six percent. So they want to see
a dedicated agency or officer set up to assess and
(20:06):
prepare for these risks. Professor Nick Wilson's behind the study.
He says we're well prepared for natural disasters, but poorly
equipped to cope with global shocks. He says we have
to make use of New Zealand's unique positioning as a
remote island nation and build our resilience because we'd be
in big trouble in a trade ending disaster.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
And in Eden's weather today callum.
Speaker 10 (20:26):
Showers some possibly heavy and thundery with hail today the
high thirteen sounding fabulous.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Thank you have a good day. Claire Shrewood is in
christ yet, Good morning, Claire, good morning. Okay, so our
high profile property developer, isn't it a bit of trouble
with the Christier City Council? But maybe not for what
you'd think.
Speaker 11 (20:43):
Yeah, not for what you'd think. Necessarily. This is Williams
Corporation Managing Director Matthew horn Castle. Now what he did
on the sixteenth of this month was post a photo
of his voting papers online, sharing that to about sixty
nine thousand followers across a few different pages, his Facebook,
ha his LinkedIn and his Instagram. Now the council has
(21:05):
confirmed it's receipt a number of complaints. It also requested
the post be removed the day following the post, but
ten days later it's still there on all of his
social media pages. It is an offense under the Local
Electoral Acts to publish a picture of a voting document influencing.
Speaker 8 (21:21):
Who others should vote for.
Speaker 11 (21:23):
The thing is it is fine to share who you
voted for and to add even the reasons for that,
but it's the image of the voting paper itself that's
the problem. Porncastle, though, says it's a case of him
acting in free expression and is not an attempt to
interfere with others.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Okay, and the weather today in christ Ex Claire.
Speaker 11 (21:39):
Cloudy today, a few showers about mainly late this morning
and then again by evening. Normally is turning westerly and
we should reach sixteen degrees.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Thanks so much, Claire. And look, if you like me,
are sitting at home looking at your voting papers, going
I must send those. They need to be in the
post by October seventh. Neva's looking at me like that,
appalling that I haven't got that done yet. It's on
the list never, I promise. Where We're hitting to Wellington
now with a rather intriguing story. Himex, how are you
good morning? Good So tell me about this mirural office
(22:08):
disc stuffed with secret files which was sold to a
guard the dump.
Speaker 12 (22:13):
This may be the best story of the year. It
is certainly my favorite and an incredible yarn from our newsrooms.
Ethan Minia builder Raymond Morgan went to his local dumps
tip shop, fancied the look of a new desk he
saw there, picked it up for a song, looked inside
once he got home. Couldn't believe his eyes. Hundreds and
hundreds of pages of some of the most sensitive, highly
(22:33):
confidential Wellington City Council documents. We're talking sexual several termination agreements,
sexual harassment claims, serious stuff complaints, whistleblower allegations, staff pay details.
The desk apparently had been just left as it was
when the council had to move, had to vacate their
old premises at the town Hall, so the documents are
(22:54):
pre twenty thirteen. This part's infuriating. Though he called the
council first, he didn't come to us. He called the
council to say what he had found and was apparently
brushed off as a bit of a crackpot. He's not.
He asked his local ratepayers group online about it. What
should he do? That's how our newsroom caught wind of it.
He can't believe the council's incompetence. Dame fran Wilde, she's
commented on this, calls it appalling. The council itself tried
(23:16):
to brush it off to us initially as well. It
now says it's investigating. You can read this astonishing story
online or in today's paper.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Well, what is it about Wellington and it's council and
its delicious gossip and things?
Speaker 12 (23:28):
Honestly, Max not doing much to beat the allegations, that's
for sure.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Wellington's weather today it is.
Speaker 12 (23:34):
Cloudy, a bit of rain, very strong wind, fourteen the hay.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Thanks so much, Bex. Have a good weekend. And neither
Bricky Manu was in the studio.
Speaker 13 (23:42):
I have to put my five scenes worse in here? Okay,
has the council never heard of a shreder? You know
we've even used works? Be'st got a shredder? Hikey, I
hear it?
Speaker 2 (23:53):
What winding up?
Speaker 12 (23:54):
You know?
Speaker 13 (23:55):
Did you know what this shredder sounds like?
Speaker 9 (23:56):
Right?
Speaker 13 (23:56):
Well, there goes by contract. Oh god, come on, well
you're quite right about Wellington. I'm sitting here shaking my
head anyway.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
You were shaking your head at me too, EXA haven't
send time my voting papers, like got another week?
Speaker 1 (24:10):
I want to head of believe it.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Fred chescat.
Speaker 13 (24:13):
As soon as I got my papers in mind, you
I am a bit of a girly swat.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
I went through the booklet. The booklet was a bit dry.
Speaker 13 (24:22):
I was saying to Ryan a couple of weeks ago,
the photos, it's all based on the photos of the candidates.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Just like you're dating. Because that's right.
Speaker 13 (24:33):
What do they look like?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Are they're good looking?
Speaker 7 (24:35):
They do?
Speaker 13 (24:36):
They look but anyway is and I straight away, you know,
sent it off.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
That same day you were going to talk about this
independent report that's found that Edenpact really should making the
most of the twelve concerts. It would contribute so much
more to Auckland. We've been talking about you and I've
got a bit of an idea. I think we should
take some of this money neither that we that's been
put aside for the event attraction package that was announced recently,
and just used that to get this wal done a sap. Yeah,
(25:01):
done real quick and it's.
Speaker 13 (25:02):
Move on absolutely. I mean Nix Saunton, Eden Park's CEO
is is not you know what. They'd love to have
these concerts, but there are barriers preventing that. You know,
if you can't have that the ability not to hold
the concerts on Sunday. But that all of that, but hey,
there's a vibe that's going to be happening at Eden
Park tomorrow with that maybe, And you know, I'm so
pleased your five pm start so in that afternoon.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Do not like it?
Speaker 13 (25:25):
I think it's great.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
It's either two thirty maybe or seven five is too early?
I like it. The sit down on. Tell me the
weather today? Showers in the evening.
Speaker 13 (25:41):
Oh, no showers today, but then the rain will be
heavy tonight. The high is eighteen. I think it's going
to be there'll be showery tomorrow. Okay for the game,
and you know wind as well, but who cares because
it's going to be a great game. People tune up.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Both teams have to do. What will you be doing?
Speaker 13 (25:59):
You'll be making your flop and dinner so you can
sit down. We'll all be lunch.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
I've ought to be.
Speaker 13 (26:03):
Breakfast for conness, sacred cheese.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
I'll be on the couch ready to go. Thank you
so much. Nuva is always a pleasure. What do I
doing next? I think I'll go to a break It's
fifteen to.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Six International correspondence with insign Eye Insurance Peace of Mind
for New Zealand Business.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
And Vincent Mecavini joins me now from Europe. Morning. Vincent,
Good morning. Former French president Nicholas Sarkozy has been sentenced
to five years in jazz. Is this the third conviction?
There were two previous ones for corruption, weren't there?
Speaker 9 (26:38):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 14 (26:38):
He's had a pretty checkered pass since he left office.
He was, of course a president of France prior to
the Francis Holans and he was sentenced now to five
years in jail. So he's going from the Elise Palace
to jail. And this is in a case relating to
(27:00):
millions of euros of illicit funds from the late Libyan leader,
Colonel Walmerga Daffy. Now there wasn't a charge, there wasn't
a successful conviction of sort of having the campaign finances themselves.
This is all about a conspiracy to get money out
of Libya for his election campaigning. He was president twenty
(27:22):
seven to twenty twelve, so quite a while ago now,
But this case has worked its way through the French
justice system and in exchange, he was reportedly going to
help sort of wash Gadaffi's international reputation. He was a
pariah at this point and he You're acted pretty strongly
in court, taking down the justice system and being very
affronted and quite shocked, it seemed, at the fact that
(27:43):
he is actually going to have to spend time in prison.
His wife, the supermodel Carla Brunei, was standing next to him,
also looking fairly shell shocked by it.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Do you think he will have to spend five years
in prison?
Speaker 14 (27:56):
I don't know if he will spell in the full
five years, but I think it's very like he is
going to appeal against this, but he is going to
have to spend a couple of years, it seems, in
prison until potentially the results of that appeal.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Vincent meccadannny, thank you so much for the update. Appreciate it.
It is ten to six franchise good right. Farmers are
getting a record payday. Fonterra has delivered one of its
best results ever, with a net profit at one point
oh wait billion dollars, shares a jump to just over
six dollars, the high since two thy and eighteen, and
(28:29):
shareholders get a record dividend of fifty seven cents a share.
Carl Deane, the Federated Farmer's Dairy Terr is with me now.
Good morning, Thanks for your time, Carl. Good morning, record
record results across the board. How happy the farmers today?
Speaker 7 (28:44):
I think fathers are pretty esthetic about hearing a strong
farm rate look for us as well as a very
strong dividend.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Like you said, where will that money go with their
investments that need to be made or debt to pay down?
Speaker 7 (29:01):
I think it's very important to realize that the farmers
actually haven't had very a great rate of return or
a great profit with the high on farm costs the
last two to three seasons, so a lot of us
is probably going back into bank debt, back into paying
do some capital projects that have been put on hold
(29:22):
for the last couple of years, all those sort of
things that we like to do. You know, we only
have the opportunity to do it for a couple of years.
When they're doing there is actually profit made and more importantly,
yes there will be some obviously some tasks reven for
the government.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Hence we all benefit. Right. Do you think farmers will
also store some of that money away for a rainy
day rather than sort of having a wild time at
field days next year?
Speaker 7 (29:50):
I think most farmers, you know, we've been around around
quite a while. I suppose and we know that there's
not normally two record payouts, right, Okay, the last time
there was a record then there was a quite a
significant drop the following season, So sometimes there's things that
(30:11):
are one off. Sometimes they might stay out for two seasons,
but normally it does come down again.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
So expectations are in check. How much is Fontira kept
for itself, Carl.
Speaker 7 (30:25):
I don't believe Froontira's information outside sure, I haven't seen
any information on the.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Chief that was under the impression that they had kept
a substantial amounts themselves, which I was just wondering, you know,
how if that's the right decision given the current economic
and trade out lock.
Speaker 7 (30:48):
Yes, yeah, I think they have. Obviously they get some
of the earnings per year, and we kept about fifteen
to eighteen cents, and then they are obviously going to
if the divestment went through, there's money of that that
would stay in the corporative as well.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Someone made a commenter in the newsroom of gosh, you know,
do you think that there might be a little bit
of angst from regular Kiwi's doing it tough, that they'll
see this great result and get jealous. And I thought
I don't think so. We all benefit from the start.
We Carl, farmers are at the forefront of our economic recovery.
Speaker 7 (31:22):
Yes, well, I've said that at the end of the day,
profit means tax. That's probably the key thing that peoples
to realize is when farmers are making a profit, that
means that the tax takes loight and that all helps
when it comes to the governments able to spend money.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
So in summary, Carl, farmers are ecstatic today, but they're
being cautious and you know about about the future pretty
much sums it up.
Speaker 7 (31:53):
Yes, yes, we all are under the understanding that, yeah,
costs may come up again and income they drop.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Carl, good to talk to you. Thank you for your
time this morning. That was Fedata Farmer's a dairy chair.
My Costing is in the studio with me.
