Talk sai'd be good morning at.

Six after five. We'll look at the earthquake building standards
this morning. Donna Demayo in Australia with Elbow in London.
The Rbians says, whoop Sea on COVID inflation and for
all the talk on the health system and crisis, results
aren't really backing that up. We'll give you those numbers
this morning too. The agenda Tuesday, the thirtieth of September.
Trump's having dinner right now with Nettan Yahoo at the
White House. On the menu as this Garza piece Steel here,
(00:33):
Caroline Leavitt.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
The President knows and believes that this is as good
of a plan as these sides are going to see.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
And that's why it's twenty one points.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
It's very detailed, it's comprehensive.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Ultimately, the President knows when you get to a good deal,
both sides are going to leave a little bit unhappy.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
But we need this conflict to end.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Hamas says it still hasn't seen the proposal to Britain.
Now the Labour Party conference rolls into another day. Rachel
Reeves sounds like she's going to keep on cutting.
Speaker 6 (01:00):
There are still.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
People who peddle the idea that we could just abandon
economic responsibility, cast off any constraints on spending.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
They're wrong, dangerously sorry.
Speaker 7 (01:11):
Our first year in power was about fixing the foundations.
Our seconds must be about building a renewed economy for
a renewed Britain.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Staying in Europe. We spoke yesterday about Moldova. Well, the
pro EU party one Putent's lot loss, so they're still
keen on joining the EU. There here's the President, Maya Sandu.
Speaker 8 (01:30):
We want to keep this country stable. We want to
keep this country part of the three worlds. And no
matter how difficult it is, and no matter how big
the pressure from our school is and will be, will
continue because we believe in this and you is a
fist project, because we believe in freedom and democracy.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
News and Views you Trust. To start your day, It's
early edition with Bryan Bridge and one roof love where
you Live.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
News Talk said it's gone d after five grades. To
have your company nine two nine two the number to text.
Two things to get off my chest this morning. One
is the priest I mean, honestly, just go back to church.
I'm sick of it. I'm absolutely sick of it, chaining
themselves to lamp posts to I mean, look, isn't religion
part of the problem in the Middle East to begin with?
(02:21):
Is that not the elephant in the room and the
electroc office for you? Honestly, I've just had enough of it.
Go back to church, and look, I've got nothing against religion.
I believe everyone should be free to believe in whatever
they want to believe in. But if I wanted, you know,
self righteous moral grandstanding from a vicar, I'd go to
church myself. Just annoying, go pray quietly in your congregations.
(02:43):
Luxon has written a letter to Chippy and he's then
released it. Well it looks like let release it to
the Herald, so they've got their hands on it, published
it this morning. The timing of the letter is important
because it's hipkins media around day to day, so he's
trying to, you know, get something in front of him
and shape the narrative. So good politics. I suppose they've
(03:05):
got the Frontier report coming out tomorrow. So what does
he want? He wants bipartisan support on gas support offshore
exploration for natural gas for at least ten years, mister Hipkins. Now,
Labour's position on this is pretty much no. They will
reinstate the band that they introduced along with New Zealand first,
and they have also not said yet whether they would
(03:28):
go even further than that and revoke permits that National issues.
So pretty much the opposite right. So the reason that
National's doing this is, you know, if nobody looks for
gas after they reversed the band, then they can blame Labor.
We've got an energy crunch returning next year. This year
(03:50):
saved by rain and that meth the next deal, but
next year they reckon things are back on. So is
this smart politics from luxe? And Labor basically has said
no when not doing it. In fact, apart from Palestine,
I saw they came out yesterday and said we will
recognize Palestine on day one. That is literally their only
policy at the moment. You know, a policy on a
(04:11):
war a million miles away. Is that going to get
you elected elected? I don't know. I don't think so anyway.
Just remember our emissions are zero point one seven percent
of global emissions, and we feed forty million people. The
problem I suppose with all of this is they're fighting
over who's more bipartisan, which is never a great thing.
(04:34):
Is that ten minutes after five the number of text
We'll look at these health numbers next with Rob Campbell, The.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
News You Need this Morning and the in Depth Analysis
Early Edition with Ryan Bridge and One Route Love Where
You Lived, News Talks.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
AB five point thirteen on News Talk said, be if
I was going to chain myself to something today over
an issue, it's Dame Knowles and Netball New Zealand. I think,
get in there, Dame Knowles and do you know what
you should ask for? Apparently they're meeting today a big
showdown today, Netball New Zealand and Dame Knowles. She was
stood down for the Tiny Jamison series. Constellation Cup starts
in seventeen days and the camp starts in six days,
(05:12):
and I think they have absolutely no choice but to
back her. You know, you've got Netbulls stars, former stars
backing her, and you've got the biggest star in Grace
Wiki backing her. So I say, go in there, Dame
Knowles with the head held high, with the support of
the biggest star in the sport right now, and ask
for a pay rise get some better clauses in there too.
(05:33):
It is thirteen and after five. Ryan's got some numbers
that show the health system might be getting back on track.
Cancer treatment wait times are down more than eighty six
percent getting treatment within thirty one days. Eighty two percent
of kids fully immunized by age two. That's up six
percent on last year. ED patients seen within six hours.
That's up from seventy one to seventy four percent on
(05:54):
a year ago. Rob Campbell, former health ends he'd share
with me this morning, Rob, good morning, good morning, right,
something to sell break.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Yeah, it's almost as if we should get Dame Knowles
and to celebrate with us with some targets, isn't it.
Or maybe that's a bit tough these days. But really
I think the minister's staff have made a mistake here, Ryan,
I think they've issued the wrong press statement. I think
what the minister really wanted to say was that he
apologized to all the doctors and nurses who's been castigating
for the last couple of weeks for not putting patients first,
(06:23):
because we find that in fact been short staffed, been
short paid. They have in fact been putting patients first
and meeting his targets, so I'm sure he wants to
apologize and get their problems sorted out for them. In response.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
How does that work though? How do you you say
they're short on pay, short on staff, they've got a
minister who's angry, and yet the system's improving. How do
you actually explain that.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
I don't think it's hard to explain for anyone who's
worked in a large business over any time. So if
you set targets and the structural management that they are
to achieve those targets, typically they will be able to
produce some results. And these are good results. I'm not
gain saying that at all. These are good results. It's
(07:05):
an improvement. The issues are what have you not done
in order to achieve these specific results. It's one of
the dangers of targets that you do achieve the ones
you aim at, but you're not achieving other things within
the within the health system. Now, there will be some
things which are lapsing in order to achieve this. Now,
these are the targets set the minister set. Minister sets
so he'll be happy. They're not unreasonable targets in themselves,
(07:29):
but other things won't be happening, And the task for
our public health system is really not so much to
hit specific targets or to improve specific targets, but can
we rebuild our health system into something which across the
board is effective, efficient and resilient, And sometimes targets can
cut across that. I suspect we'll find in due course
through a ways. This is happening.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
But take that.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Having said all of that, you can hit these sorts
of targets, will improve these sorts of targets. But this
is good news for the people who have got the
service more quickly or more effectively.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I'll say that good news, absolutely. Rob there's a text
coming from Roger Morning Roger. He says, Hi, run the
ED waiting time is rigged. The starting time begins from
when the patient is first seen by a clinician, not
the time that they arrived. I took my daughter to
Waikata ED and waited five hours to see a doctor.
After arriving, the ED wait time only recorded as an hour.
(08:20):
Is that true?
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Those things certainly do happen, and it's one of the
problems with targets is that information is often structured to
meet the target. That's quite common problem. Not Chris, not
just in the Health Service, but in other organizations that
introduced these very specific sorts of targets. So there will
undoubtedly be an element of that happening, but I wouldn't
question that there has been some improvement in these specific
(08:43):
targets overall.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Appreciate your time, Rob, Rob Campbell, former Health ends in
chair with us this morning seventeen after five News Talk
said be up next? Is it too late now to
say sorry for the Reserve Bank?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
The first word on the News of the Day early
edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof love where you Live?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
News Talk sa'd be it is five nineteen. Lots of
support for comments on the priest this morning. I mean
nothing against priests, but just when you're ramming it down
our throats day in, day out and blocking parliamentary offices,
it's just becomes annoying, frankly. Lots of feedback on health
targets as well. This one coming in this morning from
doesn't say the name. I'd actually love it if you
(09:24):
wouldn't mind putting your names at the end. It just
helps me get a picture of who you are. I'm
still waiting on my hip X ray results as this
text three months later from green Lane Hospital. Doctor hasn't
heard either. Can I suggest I think green Lane is
a private hospital anyway? But can I suggest that you
go with Southern Cross Health Society because they've released their results.
Their payouts are record three point eight million claims they
(09:47):
reckon in the last year. That's up sixteen percent. Two
five hundred and ninety nine new knees across New Zealand
and four hundred and ninety new hips. The knees are
the most expensive, paying out eighty million colonoscopies, eighty million
hip replacements, seventy two in hysterectomies fifty two. It is
twenty half to five Bryan. The Reserve Banks taking a
(10:08):
hard look at itself. Findings aren't exactly shocking, are they.
Its own reports says it didn't hike interest rates fast
enough to tackle COVID inflation. Interest rates fell to just
zero point two five percent in twenty twenty one. They
rocketed up to five point five and twenty twenty three.
This is as inflation hit seven point three percent. Doctor
Eric Crampton, chief economist at the New Zealand Initiative, Eric,
(10:29):
good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 9 (10:31):
Have they hit the nail on the head well, they've
identified some of the problems. They noted some of them
were a little bit surprising, but I guess we should
have realized what was going on. They noted that some
of the monetary policy models that couldn't deal well with
supply shocks, and we had dealt with a supply shock
in COVID. They're ended sim model, which is the core
(10:53):
backbone that they used for forecasting what's going on in
the world. It wasn't able to handle the kind of
supply shock that has large cross country interactions. So they're
trying to beef that up. They're trying to beef up
a lot more real time data to get a better
handle on what's going on. I guess one of the
disappointing bits is that they're saying in hindsight on some
(11:13):
of this. It wasn't just hindsight. There are plenty of
people saying at the time that the reserve bank was
printing too much money, that it would have strong inflationary consequence,
and that it was fundamentally wrong response to a large
negative supply shock. So what I mean by that reserve
banks are used to dealing with things like the GFC
(11:36):
from the two thousands or other financial crises where the
shock is coming out of the financial side of the economy,
it's not coming out of the real side of the economy,
and they'll often deal with that by printing money, reducing
interest rates to boost aggregate demand, to get people standing
of it more again, and things then sort of ride
(11:56):
themselves out. That doesn't really work when the underlying productive
capacity of the economy, both here and elsewhere, has substantially
shifted inward. That it just every combination that you'd have
just won't be as productive as it used to be
because covid is keeping everybody at home. Factories couldn't run, cold,
stores weren't running well. Nothing was really working well. And
(12:20):
if you pump money into that environment, you just have
more money chasing the same number of goods, and that
ramps prices up. They should have realized this a lot faster.
We'd been putting up notes on this from our shop
around June twenty twenty. I think I had a blog
post on it in April. Bryce will consented seeing it,
but also folks like Grant Spencer and Arthur Grimes had
(12:42):
been talking about the asset price run up that you're
going to see from the monetary policy we've had so
great that now four or five years later they're fixing
some of this, But it's it would have been better
if if they had identified it earlier.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
It would have been avoid the absolutely eric So in
a nutshell, you know, I've admitted that they were too slow.
If they'd been quicker, would that height have been as steep?
Did the speed affect the destination and therefore would we
not be in as much shite as we are now.
Speaker 9 (13:18):
I don't have the big macro forecasting models behind me
like they do. I would expect that had they realized
by mid to late twenty twenty that they were really
dealing with a large supply shock rather than a shock
from the demand side of the economy, they would have
engaged in less of the initial money pump printing, fewer
(13:40):
large scale acid purposes purchases, and less of a reduction
and interest rates, and they would have started to increase
those again more quickly. That should have avoided hitting the
peaks that we did hit because we wouldn't have hit
the same inflation outcomes that we hit. But the Reserve
Bank has had to be fighting these past couple of years.
(14:01):
Isn't just the inflation that got away from it, but
also the really high expectations about inflation that started getting
baked in. So if you look back a couple of
years ago, inflation expectations were running well north of the
target range that the Reserve Bank tries to hit. That's
what we call unanchored. So if everyone expects that the
(14:23):
Reserve Bank is going to do a good job and
keep inflation around two percent, it has a lot easier
time of doing that. When people start expecting more inflation,
they have a hell of a time getting it back
down and we're experiencing some of the consequences.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yeah. Plus they also had the government spending, didn't they.
Doctor Eric Crampton The New Zealand Initiative. It is twenty
five after five News Talk CIB the early.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Edition, full show podcast on Ion Radio, how It By
News Talks AB.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
News Talks inb five twenty seven. Hell's always been a
portfolio that MP's never really want a bar off. You
never when you got endless fights with the unions, You've
got people waiting for surgery, hard to keep up with technology,
and it's very personal. You know, if you don't get
the care that you need, it's literally life and death stuff.
So if these numbers Simeon Brown's putting out it to
be believed, and I've got no reason to doubt them,
(15:11):
then he should be congratulated. Cancer wait times, immunizations, elective surgeries,
ed numbers are heading in the right direction, but by
no means job finished, and some of the movements only
a few percent, and it's quarter on quarter comparisons. But
for a government the media would have you believe is
traditionally stingy and ineffective in health, at least we have
some measurable, measurable results to compare, and they're not terrible.
(15:33):
Labour will come out today and hate this. They say,
grandma's hip operation is being farmed out to the private sector.
And you know what Grandma will say, I don't care.
I've got a new hip. This is all short term stuff, though.
The bigger question is how we plan to pay for
this expensive system in twenty years time when the population
problem kicks in. Treasury Ransom numbers on this. They looked
(15:56):
at health spending on pensioners as a share of the
over all health budget nineteen fifty one twenty nine percent.
Today it's forty percent, and by twenty fifty one sixty
three percent, So two thirds of the health budget will
be spent on over sixty fives and fewer workers to
pay for it. The problem with a decent public health
(16:17):
system is that people live longer as a result. It's
a vicious cycle. Of course, nobody wants grandma to die,
but if Simeon Brown keeps this up, we'll be bankrupt
before she carts it. Bryan Bridge, twenty eight, a half
to five News Talks, he'd be sorry grandma. Now. Rory McElroy,
did you see the golf? It looked more like an
NRL game. Just things got a little bit feral anyway.
(16:38):
Rory McElroy said that his wife was hit by a
can of beer.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Golf teaches you very good life lessons.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
It teaches you attiquette, It teaches you how to play
by the rules. It teaches you how to respect people.
And you know, sometimes this week we didn't see that
doesn't sound like the gentleman's game, does it when you've
got cops and police dogs lining the fairway? Hey, very quickly,
this is from Albanesi. He's over in London at the
moment and says no, no, no, no, I'm not going
to do anything on a republic.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
I have no intention of holding any referendums on those issues.
I think they will put to the Australian people, and
the Australian people made a decision.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
A bit of a love in with the king too.
We'll check in with Donad de Mayo, our Australia correspondence.
She's with us after news and the earthquake building standards
before six News Talks at.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
B get ahead of the headlines on early edition with
Ryan Bridge and one Root Love Where you live News Talks.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
At B is that you just pretty far away from
the six zero News Talks said, be great to have
your company this morning. We're in Australia with Donnad Demayo. Next,
then we'll talk quake buildings before top of the hour.
It'sn't it funny that you overreck, you know, something bad happens,
government overregulates and then you have thousands of buildings sitting
(18:03):
empty and idle. You know, you can't go to the
theater and why puck because of these regulations. And then
at the stroke of a pen they will open them
back up again and everyone can go back to life
as normal. Fascinating development with video game industry. This morning,
Electronic Arts. This is a company that you probably haven't
heard of, but they have just secured the largest private
(18:25):
equity backed by out in history. So your stockholders will
get two hundred and ten bucks a share. That's a
twenty five percent premium on the share price that close
on Thursday last week. They publish the SIMS if you
know that game, and also FIFA, which is the video
game I think they now call it FC. And this
is all being pushed by the Saudis. The Saudis are
(18:47):
very much into the video game industry. They're into a
lot of industries at the moment, but video games in particular.
They've got a minority staken Nintendo. They've also taken over
the company that does Pokemon Go and now they have
just along with a bunch of others, done this fifty
five billion dollar deal. Along with Silverlap who you'll know
(19:07):
to buy Electronic Arts, which is just a massive number
you can't even get your head around. Twenty three away
from six Bread are reporters around the country. Calum Procter
and need and Callum, good morning morning, right, so you've
got an update men with prostate cancer. In the last
South Ireland. They are benefiting from extra specialists. Yeah, they are.
Speaker 10 (19:27):
This is a rare good news story about our health system.
The Health Minister saying that New Zealand's first advanced practitioner
radiation therapist specializing in prostate cancer is transforming care here
in the South. The practitioner runs review clinics, six week
post treatment follow ups and assessments to prepare patients before
they see a specialist. Simeon Brown says in August alone,
(19:50):
around sixty men here received faster treatment, personalized support and
improved outcomes. He says there are plans to extend this
role to a wider range of urological conditions.
Speaker 11 (20:00):
Right.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
How's your weather got a strong win? Watch for a
tiger today?
Speaker 10 (20:04):
Gusty and strong Northwesters, but a sale has change. This
evening brings snow to three hundred meters. That's tonight's today's
high seventeen.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Cheers Courtney, christ ch Hey, Courtney, good morning, Ryan. You
got boy races and Banks Peninsula?
Speaker 12 (20:17):
Yes so, Littleton Harbord residents are feed up with reckless
drivers making roads unsafe and disturbing sleep. So they're launching
a task force, a fundraising campaign and hiring a portable
speed camera to tackle it. Local councilor Tyrone Fields says
the harbor is an amphitheater for the countless loud and
high speed boy racers. He says he wants an adequate
(20:40):
police and legal response so that this doesn't enable anti
road use. Fields says he's encouraging the community to request
funding which they haven't yet, to counsel and try engaging
with police.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Council yep, right, well that's good and hopefully they catch
the boy racers. Courtney, how's your weather?
Speaker 12 (21:01):
Cloudy periods with some showers, northeasterlies turning strong. North westerlies
are high of seventeen.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Thank you, Courtney, Max and Wellington Heymax, good morning. You
got a home invasion that's left a victim traumatized.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
Wadstown Sunday police were called to a suburban street just
the other side of State Highway One behind Thornton reports
of a man trying to break into a car, then
far more frighteningly, trying to enter someone's home with a
large knife. It appeared a bladed weapon that's described terrifyingly.
It seems the owners were home at the time police arrived.
The man did get into the house, retreated to a
(21:35):
room inside and refused to leave the aos. The Armed
Offender Squad had to be called in, pepper sprayed dogs,
a taser. Eventually a single shot was fired at this
guy by an officer. It hit him in the shoulder.
He's not too badly hurt. He is in custody. We
went to the street yesterday spoke to people living there,
very very frightening, typically quiet area. But what's shocking is
(21:55):
this happened not at midnight Sunday, but midday, in the
middle of the day. This happen when this guy tried
to break into a person's house. He's now due in
court next week. Officers are investigating speaking to locals. Jeez,
how's your weather fine? With stronger wind?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Fourteen? Today's Hi Hie one, Thanks Max, Good morning, Neva,
Good morning. What's going on at the hospital in Woku.
Speaker 7 (22:15):
Well, i'll tell you residents of Woku now they want
clarity on the future of the local hospital. This is
Franklin Memorial Hospital because it's still closed after a year.
This is due to urgent repairs on Sunday. You remember
this that sime and Brown health minister. He announced a
one hundred million dollar investment for upgrades on twenty one hospitals,
(22:36):
but Franklin Memorial Hospital was left off the list. Health
New Zealand saying, look, the future use of the building
is still under active consideration. But Gary Holmes, he's a
Franklin local board member, he says, look, they want to
make sure that you know, the rural health facilities aren't overlooked.
So apparently this hospital was effectively bought and owned by
the Woku community many many years ago.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
So okay, all right, how's our weather today?
Speaker 7 (22:59):
Ended early morning isolated shower as a high of seventeen
today here in Auckland.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Brilliant, Thank you, good to see you. It was always
nineteen minutes away from six. On news talk zb I
saw also the saying an Auckland Perimeter or you know
where the prison is, Parry as they call it. There
they are fast tracking the upgrade or expansion of the
prison and the locals aren't happy. Now, if you live
in PERIMETERMO this morning, you can feel free to text
(23:24):
me on nine two nine two. But if there's a
prison there already, what's a few extra inmates, you know?
Is that is the problem that they're going to build
it higher and wider. But if it's just that there
are going to be more inmates in a prison in
its existing footprint, what's the problem. I mean, I don't
(23:44):
want them in my backyard. But you've already got them,
so you know what I mean. Eighteen to six News
TALKSB Live to Australia next card to six News Talks HEB.
Don't worry if you didn't buy EOS Sports shares before
the Saudis stepped in and you've got a twenty five
percent premium on your share price, hopefully you've got some
money in gold. The gold rush continues. Gold price is
hitting a fresh record high. This continues. I think they're
(24:08):
up now forty five percent this year. Futures up one
percent overnight to three eight hundred and fifty five announced.
This is US. That is a new all time high
for gold investors, obviously, but worried about the weakening dollar
in the US and the potential just potential at this
point for a government shutdown, which is due to happen tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance. Peace of mind
for New Zealand business donor.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Demo in Australia for us this morning. Done a good morning,
good morning to you. Good to have you. Now PM's
done a bit of a switcheroo on becoming a republic.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
Yes, well, Anthony Eberinezi has previously been quite well an advocate,
let's say, for Australia to become a republic. Now it
does look like he shifted his stance. He's no longer
pushing for as you can imagine, constitutional change, as say.
The PM did meet with the King at the weekend
(25:05):
and he's confirmed, and that's how we know that he
feels differently now that he did not discuss plans to
make Australia a republic with the King when they met
at Balmoral, and that was just at the weekend, as
I said, And he said that he's ruled out holding
an Australian republic referendum while he is Prime Minister. In fact,
(25:27):
he said he only wanted to ever hold one referendum
and that was the one he did in twenty twenty three,
the one that didn't get up in fact, the Indigenous
Voice to Parliament referendum. So he says he's just concentrating
now on a cost of living and making a real
difference to people's life.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Sounds reasonable, doesn't it, especially since you've already kind of
been there, done that. What's the deal with this man
facing charges for a Nazi salote in Queensland?
Speaker 6 (25:54):
Yes, well, this individual had previously been charged with giving
a Nazi salute at the al the Australian Football League
semi final at the Gabba in Brisbane. Well, he's been
charged with two new counts of publicly performing a Nazi salute.
He's a thirty nine year old person. He was arrested
by counter terrorism police yesterday.
Speaker 8 (26:15):
Now.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
One of the new charges allegedly happened in Brisbane Street.
That was just after he was released on bail on
the alleged incident at the footy, and the seven new
charge allegedly happened on a train. He says he's innocent.
He just calling himself an Australian patriot. He does have
a lifetime band. You can no longer go to the football.
But the chargers are well they could be well, he
(26:39):
could be facing up to five years in prison for
what he's been doing.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
So charge for the first one, then gets out and
does it again on a train m h twice over
allegedly really doesn't care. Don appreciate that. Don On Demour,
Australia Correspondent. It's twelve to six, Ryan Bridge. The earthquake changes.
Thousands of buildings will no longer be classified as high
rest only three story plus concrete buildings. All those with
(27:03):
unreinforced masonry like brick walls will now require full upgrades.
Then he seal an Institute of Building Survey as President
Daryl august with me this morning, Daryl, good morning.
Speaker 11 (27:13):
Good morning, Ryan.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
How are you good? Good? Thank you. Thoughts on this.
Speaker 11 (27:17):
Look at obviously a positive move for a lot of
owners in New Zealand that you know, crippled with the
fact that they're going to have to spend a lot
of money where we're going to have to spend a
lot of money on their buildings to upgrade them. However,
we do have some concerns around just making sure that
we don't go too far and making sure that you
know the right measures are in place. Still, the removal
(27:40):
of the need to look at other building elements such
as fire and accessibility does concern us somewhat, and I
think when I read through the media release it does
confuse me slightly where it says that owners won't need
to address those items, But then it also says that
(28:01):
the territorial authority will still need to check those items.
So the two don't really match at the moment, But
obviously the devil's in the detail. When we see more,
we'll be able to tell what the consequences are of
those changes.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
So you're saying it's not necessarily the earthquake stuff, but
it's what fire escapes and wheelchair ramps and stuff.
Speaker 11 (28:25):
Well, look, accessibility is obviously a concern for people who
require accessibility means to enter a building, but in terms
of fire, that's a pretty critical safety item within a building,
fire performance alarms and passifire requirements. So generally with a
(28:45):
seismic upgrade to a building, there would be other building
elements that do require remediation as well, and that's quite common.
So what the government's looking to do here is remove
the need to upgrade those systems. I'm not sure exactly
how much detail there is at the moment on what
(29:06):
that all looks like, but a standard approach of a
mediation of assignment building or a building of sigemic issues
would be that you know, a fire engineer would be
involved to do it. Gap analysis report of the building
and be able to tell the owners how it complies
currently with the Building Code and what it may need
to do to comply with any other provisions of the
(29:29):
Building Code.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Now, all the changes that they have made on earthquakes,
where does that put us in terms of global rankings?
You know, how safe would the buildings be here and
relative to earthquake risk versus other places.
Speaker 11 (29:43):
Look, I wouldn't be able to say. I don't work internationally,
so you know my expertise is in New Zealand. What
I would say is that I do have some concern
about the removal of seismic upgrade to buildings and low
risk areas. I suppose I did hear something on your
news bulletin earlier today where somebody was talking about if
(30:08):
you remove those requirements in low risk areas, what happens
if something happened similar to what happened in Australia a
few years ago in a low risk area where it
earthquake did it? And so when we look at Auckland,
and I'm not trying to scaremonger here, but if something
did happen in Auckland that could significantly cripple our country.
(30:29):
So I think building owners need to be cognizant of
the changes and if they feel that there are things
that need to be done to their building, there is
nothing stopping them doing work to their building if they
are concerned about it.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Darrell, appreciate your time. Darryl August, who's with the New
Zealand Institute of Building Survey as their president. It is
eight minutes away from six.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
On your radio and online on iHeartRadio edition with Ryan
Bridge and one roof Love where you Live News.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Talks ed B six to six News Talks said be
Denmark's justiceman As has come out overnight and said the
hybrid attacks from Russia where they think it's from Russia,
you know, the drones and you've got the fighter jets
and the incursions into EU airspace, well, he said it's
comparing it to nine to eleven in the US, saying
it's going to become the new normal. And Denmark is
due to hold the EU Summit on Wednesday, which may
(31:27):
have something to do with it. That's being affected. Sweden
sending in some antidrone equipment to help them out anyway.
It is five to two and Mike, Ryan, Mike's in
the studio Morning, Mike morning, good to see you. What's
going on today?
Speaker 13 (31:40):
Well, I mean a whole bunch of stuff. The stats
have you done the health stats this morning? I mean,
if something goes from seventy one point three percent to
seventy two point six, is that I mean, is that
a thing?
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Statistically?
Speaker 13 (31:53):
I mean statistically is that? I mean? How many people
did they put in the department yesterday to run through
those numbers to be able to put out a press release?
We go, Oh my god, that's incredible. I'm assuming someone
somewhere feels better about the health system.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Finally, even Rob Campbell did this morning.
Speaker 13 (32:07):
Well, I mean it's I mean, you can't ague the
number is good, so that that part's encouraging. But this
Southern Cross thing this morning, Yes, three point eight million
claims last year. So do you know how many insurance
companies there are in this country? Twenty four So there's
actually eighty something number of insurers, but they've all coalesced around,
So there's twenty four insurance companies in this country. The
(32:29):
Southern Cross obviously the biggest, but three point Just think
about how many of this are there. There's a bit
of five points something virtually everyone each year makes a
medical claim of some description, and they're paying out well
in excess. It's heading towards two billion dollars. And there's
something not right about.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Two and a half thousand new knees. Two and a
half Well, I mean that.
Speaker 13 (32:50):
I mean, if you want to go back to Simmon Brown,
who we got on the program, I mean, that's how
you do. It doesn't If you want to up the
number of things, what you do is go cataracts, because
all you do is you put money as nies a
big and hips are big, but cataracts are easy. So
you go, right, how do we increase the number of
operations or procedures?
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Will do?
Speaker 13 (33:05):
Let's set aside a few million dollars for some cataracts.
Bang and you suddenly your numbers are eaten into you.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Yeah. I think we had a text to this morning
saying with the ed wait times, they reckon that if
from the time you go into the time that you
are discharged, that should be ede wait time. But they
reckon they count it from when you see the specialist
or see the doctor, so it doesn't actually count the
time you wait.
Speaker 13 (33:27):
The whole thing's manipulated. But do you feel I mean,
I had a family member this week. You had a procedure,
for example, just a very minor procedure. But the place,
it's like a factory in there. It's like there's hundreds
of people waiting, just being ping.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
But there's so many older people who need it, so well,
clearly there is.
Speaker 13 (33:43):
But I mean, what's the matter with where was last
time you had a medical procedure? Exactly?
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Yeah, I couldn't tell you, but I'm young, and mats.
Speaker 13 (33:49):
Well exactly look at you anyway, we look at all of.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Six after five. We'll look at the earthquake building standards
this morning. Donna Demayo in Australia with Elbow in London.
The Rbians says, whoop Sea on COVID inflation and for
all the talk on the health system and crisis, results
aren't really backing that up. We'll give you those numbers
this morning too. The agenda Tuesday, the thirtieth of September.
Trump's having dinner right now with Nettan Yahoo at the
White House. On the menu as this Garza piece Steel here,
(00:33):
Caroline Leavitt.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
The President knows and believes that this is as good
of a plan as these sides are going to see.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
And that's why it's twenty one points.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
It's very detailed, it's comprehensive.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Ultimately, the President knows when you get to a good deal,
both sides are going to leave a little bit unhappy.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
But we need this conflict to end.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Hamas says it still hasn't seen the proposal to Britain.
Now the Labour Party conference rolls into another day. Rachel
Reeves sounds like she's going to keep on cutting.
Speaker 6 (01:00):
There are still.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
People who peddle the idea that we could just abandon
economic responsibility, cast off any constraints on spending.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
They're wrong, dangerously sorry.
Speaker 7 (01:11):
Our first year in power was about fixing the foundations.
Our seconds must be about building a renewed economy for
a renewed Britain.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Staying in Europe. We spoke yesterday about Moldova. Well, the
pro EU party one Putent's lot loss, so they're still
keen on joining the EU. There here's the President, Maya Sandu.
Speaker 8 (01:30):
We want to keep this country stable. We want to
keep this country part of the three worlds. And no
matter how difficult it is, and no matter how big
the pressure from our school is and will be, will
continue because we believe in this and you is a
fist project, because we believe in freedom and democracy.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
News and Views you Trust. To start your day, It's
early edition with Bryan Bridge and one roof love where
you Live.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
News Talk said it's gone d after five grades. To
have your company nine two nine two the number to text.
Two things to get off my chest this morning. One
is the priest I mean, honestly, just go back to church.
I'm sick of it. I'm absolutely sick of it, chaining
themselves to lamp posts to I mean, look, isn't religion
part of the problem in the Middle East to begin with?
(02:21):
Is that not the elephant in the room and the
electroc office for you? Honestly, I've just had enough of it.
Go back to church, and look, I've got nothing against religion.
I believe everyone should be free to believe in whatever
they want to believe in. But if I wanted, you know,
self righteous moral grandstanding from a vicar, I'd go to
church myself. Just annoying, go pray quietly in your congregations.
(02:43):
Luxon has written a letter to Chippy and he's then
released it. Well it looks like let release it to
the Herald, so they've got their hands on it, published
it this morning. The timing of the letter is important
because it's hipkins media around day to day, so he's
trying to, you know, get something in front of him
and shape the narrative. So good politics. I suppose they've
(03:05):
got the Frontier report coming out tomorrow. So what does
he want? He wants bipartisan support on gas support offshore
exploration for natural gas for at least ten years, mister Hipkins. Now,
Labour's position on this is pretty much no. They will
reinstate the band that they introduced along with New Zealand first,
and they have also not said yet whether they would
(03:28):
go even further than that and revoke permits that National issues.
So pretty much the opposite right. So the reason that
National's doing this is, you know, if nobody looks for
gas after they reversed the band, then they can blame Labor.
We've got an energy crunch returning next year. This year
(03:50):
saved by rain and that meth the next deal, but
next year they reckon things are back on. So is
this smart politics from luxe? And Labor basically has said
no when not doing it. In fact, apart from Palestine,
I saw they came out yesterday and said we will
recognize Palestine on day one. That is literally their only
policy at the moment. You know, a policy on a
(04:11):
war a million miles away. Is that going to get
you elected elected? I don't know. I don't think so anyway.
Just remember our emissions are zero point one seven percent
of global emissions, and we feed forty million people. The
problem I suppose with all of this is they're fighting
over who's more bipartisan, which is never a great thing.
(04:34):
Is that ten minutes after five the number of text
We'll look at these health numbers next with Rob Campbell, The.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
News You Need this Morning and the in Depth Analysis
Early Edition with Ryan Bridge and One Route Love Where
You Lived, News Talks.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
AB five point thirteen on News Talk said, be if
I was going to chain myself to something today over
an issue, it's Dame Knowles and Netball New Zealand. I think,
get in there, Dame Knowles and do you know what
you should ask for? Apparently they're meeting today a big
showdown today, Netball New Zealand and Dame Knowles. She was
stood down for the Tiny Jamison series. Constellation Cup starts
in seventeen days and the camp starts in six days,
(05:12):
and I think they have absolutely no choice but to
back her. You know, you've got Netbulls stars, former stars
backing her, and you've got the biggest star in Grace
Wiki backing her. So I say, go in there, Dame
Knowles with the head held high, with the support of
the biggest star in the sport right now, and ask
for a pay rise get some better clauses in there too.
(05:33):
It is thirteen and after five. Ryan's got some numbers
that show the health system might be getting back on track.
Cancer treatment wait times are down more than eighty six
percent getting treatment within thirty one days. Eighty two percent
of kids fully immunized by age two. That's up six
percent on last year. ED patients seen within six hours.
That's up from seventy one to seventy four percent on
(05:54):
a year ago. Rob Campbell, former health ends he'd share
with me this morning, Rob, good morning, good morning, right,
something to sell break.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Yeah, it's almost as if we should get Dame Knowles
and to celebrate with us with some targets, isn't it.
Or maybe that's a bit tough these days. But really
I think the minister's staff have made a mistake here, Ryan,
I think they've issued the wrong press statement. I think
what the minister really wanted to say was that he
apologized to all the doctors and nurses who's been castigating
for the last couple of weeks for not putting patients first,
(06:23):
because we find that in fact been short staffed, been
short paid. They have in fact been putting patients first
and meeting his targets, so I'm sure he wants to
apologize and get their problems sorted out for them. In response.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
How does that work though? How do you you say
they're short on pay, short on staff, they've got a
minister who's angry, and yet the system's improving. How do
you actually explain that.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
I don't think it's hard to explain for anyone who's
worked in a large business over any time. So if
you set targets and the structural management that they are
to achieve those targets, typically they will be able to
produce some results. And these are good results. I'm not
gain saying that at all. These are good results. It's
(07:05):
an improvement. The issues are what have you not done
in order to achieve these specific results. It's one of
the dangers of targets that you do achieve the ones
you aim at, but you're not achieving other things within
the within the health system. Now, there will be some
things which are lapsing in order to achieve this. Now,
these are the targets set the minister set. Minister sets
so he'll be happy. They're not unreasonable targets in themselves,
(07:29):
but other things won't be happening, And the task for
our public health system is really not so much to
hit specific targets or to improve specific targets, but can
we rebuild our health system into something which across the
board is effective, efficient and resilient, And sometimes targets can
cut across that. I suspect we'll find in due course
through a ways. This is happening.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
But take that.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Having said all of that, you can hit these sorts
of targets, will improve these sorts of targets. But this
is good news for the people who have got the
service more quickly or more effectively.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I'll say that good news, absolutely. Rob there's a text
coming from Roger Morning Roger. He says, Hi, run the
ED waiting time is rigged. The starting time begins from
when the patient is first seen by a clinician, not
the time that they arrived. I took my daughter to
Waikata ED and waited five hours to see a doctor.
After arriving, the ED wait time only recorded as an hour.
(08:20):
Is that true?
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Those things certainly do happen, and it's one of the
problems with targets is that information is often structured to
meet the target. That's quite common problem. Not Chris, not
just in the Health Service, but in other organizations that
introduced these very specific sorts of targets. So there will
undoubtedly be an element of that happening, but I wouldn't
question that there has been some improvement in these specific
(08:43):
targets overall.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Appreciate your time, Rob, Rob Campbell, former Health ends in
chair with us this morning seventeen after five News Talk
said be up next? Is it too late now to
say sorry for the Reserve Bank?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
The first word on the News of the Day early
edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof love where you Live?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
News Talk sa'd be it is five nineteen. Lots of
support for comments on the priest this morning. I mean
nothing against priests, but just when you're ramming it down
our throats day in, day out and blocking parliamentary offices,
it's just becomes annoying, frankly. Lots of feedback on health
targets as well. This one coming in this morning from
doesn't say the name. I'd actually love it if you
(09:24):
wouldn't mind putting your names at the end. It just
helps me get a picture of who you are. I'm
still waiting on my hip X ray results as this
text three months later from green Lane Hospital. Doctor hasn't
heard either. Can I suggest I think green Lane is
a private hospital anyway? But can I suggest that you
go with Southern Cross Health Society because they've released their results.
Their payouts are record three point eight million claims they
(09:47):
reckon in the last year. That's up sixteen percent. Two
five hundred and ninety nine new knees across New Zealand
and four hundred and ninety new hips. The knees are
the most expensive, paying out eighty million colonoscopies, eighty million
hip replacements, seventy two in hysterectomies fifty two. It is
twenty half to five Bryan. The Reserve Banks taking a
(10:08):
hard look at itself. Findings aren't exactly shocking, are they.
Its own reports says it didn't hike interest rates fast
enough to tackle COVID inflation. Interest rates fell to just
zero point two five percent in twenty twenty one. They
rocketed up to five point five and twenty twenty three.
This is as inflation hit seven point three percent. Doctor
Eric Crampton, chief economist at the New Zealand Initiative, Eric,
(10:29):
good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 9 (10:31):
Have they hit the nail on the head well, they've
identified some of the problems. They noted some of them
were a little bit surprising, but I guess we should
have realized what was going on. They noted that some
of the monetary policy models that couldn't deal well with
supply shocks, and we had dealt with a supply shock
in COVID. They're ended sim model, which is the core
(10:53):
backbone that they used for forecasting what's going on in
the world. It wasn't able to handle the kind of
supply shock that has large cross country interactions. So they're
trying to beef that up. They're trying to beef up
a lot more real time data to get a better
handle on what's going on. I guess one of the
disappointing bits is that they're saying in hindsight on some
(11:13):
of this. It wasn't just hindsight. There are plenty of
people saying at the time that the reserve bank was
printing too much money, that it would have strong inflationary consequence,
and that it was fundamentally wrong response to a large
negative supply shock. So what I mean by that reserve
banks are used to dealing with things like the GFC
(11:36):
from the two thousands or other financial crises where the
shock is coming out of the financial side of the economy,
it's not coming out of the real side of the economy,
and they'll often deal with that by printing money, reducing
interest rates to boost aggregate demand, to get people standing
of it more again, and things then sort of ride
(11:56):
themselves out. That doesn't really work when the underlying productive
capacity of the economy, both here and elsewhere, has substantially
shifted inward. That it just every combination that you'd have
just won't be as productive as it used to be
because covid is keeping everybody at home. Factories couldn't run, cold,
stores weren't running well. Nothing was really working well. And
(12:20):
if you pump money into that environment, you just have
more money chasing the same number of goods, and that
ramps prices up. They should have realized this a lot faster.
We'd been putting up notes on this from our shop
around June twenty twenty. I think I had a blog
post on it in April. Bryce will consented seeing it,
but also folks like Grant Spencer and Arthur Grimes had
(12:42):
been talking about the asset price run up that you're
going to see from the monetary policy we've had so
great that now four or five years later they're fixing
some of this, But it's it would have been better
if if they had identified it earlier.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
It would have been avoid the absolutely eric So in
a nutshell, you know, I've admitted that they were too slow.
If they'd been quicker, would that height have been as steep?
Did the speed affect the destination and therefore would we
not be in as much shite as we are now.
Speaker 9 (13:18):
I don't have the big macro forecasting models behind me
like they do. I would expect that had they realized
by mid to late twenty twenty that they were really
dealing with a large supply shock rather than a shock
from the demand side of the economy, they would have
engaged in less of the initial money pump printing, fewer
(13:40):
large scale acid purposes purchases, and less of a reduction
and interest rates, and they would have started to increase
those again more quickly. That should have avoided hitting the
peaks that we did hit because we wouldn't have hit
the same inflation outcomes that we hit. But the Reserve
Bank has had to be fighting these past couple of years.
(14:01):
Isn't just the inflation that got away from it, but
also the really high expectations about inflation that started getting
baked in. So if you look back a couple of
years ago, inflation expectations were running well north of the
target range that the Reserve Bank tries to hit. That's
what we call unanchored. So if everyone expects that the
(14:23):
Reserve Bank is going to do a good job and
keep inflation around two percent, it has a lot easier
time of doing that. When people start expecting more inflation,
they have a hell of a time getting it back
down and we're experiencing some of the consequences.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yeah. Plus they also had the government spending, didn't they.
Doctor Eric Crampton The New Zealand Initiative. It is twenty
five after five News Talk CIB the early.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Edition, full show podcast on Ion Radio, how It By
News Talks AB.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
News Talks inb five twenty seven. Hell's always been a
portfolio that MP's never really want a bar off. You
never when you got endless fights with the unions, You've
got people waiting for surgery, hard to keep up with technology,
and it's very personal. You know, if you don't get
the care that you need, it's literally life and death stuff.
So if these numbers Simeon Brown's putting out it to
be believed, and I've got no reason to doubt them,
(15:11):
then he should be congratulated. Cancer wait times, immunizations, elective surgeries,
ed numbers are heading in the right direction, but by
no means job finished, and some of the movements only
a few percent, and it's quarter on quarter comparisons. But
for a government the media would have you believe is
traditionally stingy and ineffective in health, at least we have
some measurable, measurable results to compare, and they're not terrible.
(15:33):
Labour will come out today and hate this. They say,
grandma's hip operation is being farmed out to the private sector.
And you know what Grandma will say, I don't care.
I've got a new hip. This is all short term stuff, though.
The bigger question is how we plan to pay for
this expensive system in twenty years time when the population
problem kicks in. Treasury Ransom numbers on this. They looked
(15:56):
at health spending on pensioners as a share of the
over all health budget nineteen fifty one twenty nine percent.
Today it's forty percent, and by twenty fifty one sixty
three percent, So two thirds of the health budget will
be spent on over sixty fives and fewer workers to
pay for it. The problem with a decent public health
(16:17):
system is that people live longer as a result. It's
a vicious cycle. Of course, nobody wants grandma to die,
but if Simeon Brown keeps this up, we'll be bankrupt
before she carts it. Bryan Bridge, twenty eight, a half
to five News Talks, he'd be sorry grandma. Now. Rory McElroy,
did you see the golf? It looked more like an
NRL game. Just things got a little bit feral anyway.
(16:38):
Rory McElroy said that his wife was hit by a
can of beer.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Golf teaches you very good life lessons.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
It teaches you attiquette, It teaches you how to play
by the rules. It teaches you how to respect people.
And you know, sometimes this week we didn't see that
doesn't sound like the gentleman's game, does it when you've
got cops and police dogs lining the fairway? Hey, very quickly,
this is from Albanesi. He's over in London at the
moment and says no, no, no, no, I'm not going
to do anything on a republic.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
I have no intention of holding any referendums on those issues.
I think they will put to the Australian people, and
the Australian people made a decision.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
A bit of a love in with the king too.
We'll check in with Donad de Mayo, our Australia correspondence.

At B is that you just pretty far away from
the six zero News Talks said, be great to have
your company this morning. We're in Australia with Donnad Demayo. Next,
then we'll talk quake buildings before top of the hour.
It'sn't it funny that you overreck, you know, something bad happens,
government overregulates and then you have thousands of buildings sitting
(18:03):
empty and idle. You know, you can't go to the
theater and why puck because of these regulations. And then
at the stroke of a pen they will open them
back up again and everyone can go back to life
as normal. Fascinating development with video game industry. This morning,
Electronic Arts. This is a company that you probably haven't
heard of, but they have just secured the largest private
(18:25):
equity backed by out in history. So your stockholders will
get two hundred and ten bucks a share. That's a
twenty five percent premium on the share price that close
on Thursday last week. They publish the SIMS if you
know that game, and also FIFA, which is the video
game I think they now call it FC. And this
is all being pushed by the Saudis. The Saudis are
(18:47):
very much into the video game industry. They're into a
lot of industries at the moment, but video games in particular.
They've got a minority staken Nintendo. They've also taken over
the company that does Pokemon Go and now they have
just along with a bunch of others, done this fifty
five billion dollar deal. Along with Silverlap who you'll know
(19:07):
to buy Electronic Arts, which is just a massive number
you can't even get your head around. Twenty three away
from six Bread are reporters around the country. Calum Procter
and need and Callum, good morning morning, right, so you've
got an update men with prostate cancer. In the last
South Ireland. They are benefiting from extra specialists. Yeah, they are.
Speaker 10 (19:27):
This is a rare good news story about our health system.
The Health Minister saying that New Zealand's first advanced practitioner
radiation therapist specializing in prostate cancer is transforming care here
in the South. The practitioner runs review clinics, six week
post treatment follow ups and assessments to prepare patients before
they see a specialist. Simeon Brown says in August alone,
(19:50):
around sixty men here received faster treatment, personalized support and
improved outcomes. He says there are plans to extend this
role to a wider range of urological conditions.
Speaker 11 (20:00):
Right.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
How's your weather got a strong win? Watch for a
tiger today?
Speaker 10 (20:04):
Gusty and strong Northwesters, but a sale has change. This
evening brings snow to three hundred meters. That's tonight's today's
high seventeen.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Cheers Courtney, christ ch Hey, Courtney, good morning, Ryan. You
got boy races and Banks Peninsula?
Speaker 12 (20:17):
Yes so, Littleton Harbord residents are feed up with reckless
drivers making roads unsafe and disturbing sleep. So they're launching
a task force, a fundraising campaign and hiring a portable
speed camera to tackle it. Local councilor Tyrone Fields says
the harbor is an amphitheater for the countless loud and
high speed boy racers. He says he wants an adequate
(20:40):
police and legal response so that this doesn't enable anti
road use. Fields says he's encouraging the community to request
funding which they haven't yet, to counsel and try engaging
with police.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Council yep, right, well that's good and hopefully they catch
the boy racers. Courtney, how's your weather?
Speaker 12 (21:01):
Cloudy periods with some showers, northeasterlies turning strong. North westerlies
are high of seventeen.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Thank you, Courtney, Max and Wellington Heymax, good morning. You
got a home invasion that's left a victim traumatized.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
Wadstown Sunday police were called to a suburban street just
the other side of State Highway One behind Thornton reports
of a man trying to break into a car, then
far more frighteningly, trying to enter someone's home with a
large knife. It appeared a bladed weapon that's described terrifyingly.
It seems the owners were home at the time police arrived.
The man did get into the house, retreated to a
(21:35):
room inside and refused to leave the aos. The Armed
Offender Squad had to be called in, pepper sprayed dogs,
a taser. Eventually a single shot was fired at this
guy by an officer. It hit him in the shoulder.
He's not too badly hurt. He is in custody. We
went to the street yesterday spoke to people living there,
very very frightening, typically quiet area. But what's shocking is
(21:55):
this happened not at midnight Sunday, but midday, in the
middle of the day. This happen when this guy tried
to break into a person's house. He's now due in
court next week. Officers are investigating speaking to locals. Jeez,
how's your weather fine? With stronger wind?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Fourteen? Today's Hi Hie one, Thanks Max, Good morning, Neva,
Good morning. What's going on at the hospital in Woku.
Speaker 7 (22:15):
Well, i'll tell you residents of Woku now they want
clarity on the future of the local hospital. This is
Franklin Memorial Hospital because it's still closed after a year.
This is due to urgent repairs on Sunday. You remember
this that sime and Brown health minister. He announced a
one hundred million dollar investment for upgrades on twenty one hospitals,
(22:36):
but Franklin Memorial Hospital was left off the list. Health
New Zealand saying, look, the future use of the building
is still under active consideration. But Gary Holmes, he's a
Franklin local board member, he says, look, they want to
make sure that you know, the rural health facilities aren't overlooked.
So apparently this hospital was effectively bought and owned by
the Woku community many many years ago.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
So okay, all right, how's our weather today?
Speaker 7 (22:59):
Ended early morning isolated shower as a high of seventeen
today here in Auckland.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Brilliant, Thank you, good to see you. It was always
nineteen minutes away from six. On news talk zb I
saw also the saying an Auckland Perimeter or you know
where the prison is, Parry as they call it. There
they are fast tracking the upgrade or expansion of the
prison and the locals aren't happy. Now, if you live
in PERIMETERMO this morning, you can feel free to text
(23:24):
me on nine two nine two. But if there's a
prison there already, what's a few extra inmates, you know?
Is that is the problem that they're going to build
it higher and wider. But if it's just that there
are going to be more inmates in a prison in
its existing footprint, what's the problem. I mean, I don't
(23:44):
want them in my backyard. But you've already got them,
so you know what I mean. Eighteen to six News
TALKSB Live to Australia next card to six News Talks HEB.
Don't worry if you didn't buy EOS Sports shares before
the Saudis stepped in and you've got a twenty five
percent premium on your share price, hopefully you've got some
money in gold. The gold rush continues. Gold price is
hitting a fresh record high. This continues. I think they're
(24:08):
up now forty five percent this year. Futures up one
percent overnight to three eight hundred and fifty five announced.
This is US. That is a new all time high
for gold investors, obviously, but worried about the weakening dollar
in the US and the potential just potential at this
point for a government shutdown, which is due to happen tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance. Peace of mind
for New Zealand business donor.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Demo in Australia for us this morning. Done a good morning,
good morning to you. Good to have you. Now PM's
done a bit of a switcheroo on becoming a republic.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
Yes, well, Anthony Eberinezi has previously been quite well an advocate,
let's say, for Australia to become a republic. Now it
does look like he shifted his stance. He's no longer
pushing for as you can imagine, constitutional change, as say.
The PM did meet with the King at the weekend
(25:05):
and he's confirmed, and that's how we know that he
feels differently now that he did not discuss plans to
make Australia a republic with the King when they met
at Balmoral, and that was just at the weekend, as
I said, And he said that he's ruled out holding
an Australian republic referendum while he is Prime Minister. In fact,
(25:27):
he said he only wanted to ever hold one referendum
and that was the one he did in twenty twenty three,
the one that didn't get up in fact, the Indigenous
Voice to Parliament referendum. So he says he's just concentrating
now on a cost of living and making a real
difference to people's life.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Sounds reasonable, doesn't it, especially since you've already kind of
been there, done that. What's the deal with this man
facing charges for a Nazi salote in Queensland?
Speaker 6 (25:54):
Yes, well, this individual had previously been charged with giving
a Nazi salute at the al the Australian Football League
semi final at the Gabba in Brisbane. Well, he's been
charged with two new counts of publicly performing a Nazi salute.
He's a thirty nine year old person. He was arrested
by counter terrorism police yesterday.
Speaker 8 (26:15):
Now.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
One of the new charges allegedly happened in Brisbane Street.
That was just after he was released on bail on
the alleged incident at the footy, and the seven new
charge allegedly happened on a train. He says he's innocent.
He just calling himself an Australian patriot. He does have
a lifetime band. You can no longer go to the football.
But the chargers are well they could be well, he
(26:39):
could be facing up to five years in prison for
what he's been doing.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
So charge for the first one, then gets out and
does it again on a train m h twice over
allegedly really doesn't care. Don appreciate that. Don On Demour,
Australia Correspondent. It's twelve to six, Ryan Bridge. The earthquake changes.
Thousands of buildings will no longer be classified as high
rest only three story plus concrete buildings. All those with
(27:03):
unreinforced masonry like brick walls will now require full upgrades.
Then he seal an Institute of Building Survey as President
Daryl august with me this morning, Daryl, good morning.
Speaker 11 (27:13):
Good morning, Ryan.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
How are you good? Good? Thank you. Thoughts on this.
Speaker 11 (27:17):
Look at obviously a positive move for a lot of
owners in New Zealand that you know, crippled with the
fact that they're going to have to spend a lot
of money where we're going to have to spend a
lot of money on their buildings to upgrade them. However,
we do have some concerns around just making sure that
we don't go too far and making sure that you
know the right measures are in place. Still, the removal
(27:40):
of the need to look at other building elements such
as fire and accessibility does concern us somewhat, and I
think when I read through the media release it does
confuse me slightly where it says that owners won't need
to address those items, But then it also says that
(28:01):
the territorial authority will still need to check those items.
So the two don't really match at the moment, But
obviously the devil's in the detail. When we see more,
we'll be able to tell what the consequences are of
those changes.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
So you're saying it's not necessarily the earthquake stuff, but
it's what fire escapes and wheelchair ramps and stuff.
Speaker 11 (28:25):
Well, look, accessibility is obviously a concern for people who
require accessibility means to enter a building, but in terms
of fire, that's a pretty critical safety item within a building,
fire performance alarms and passifire requirements. So generally with a
(28:45):
seismic upgrade to a building, there would be other building
elements that do require remediation as well, and that's quite common.
So what the government's looking to do here is remove
the need to upgrade those systems. I'm not sure exactly
how much detail there is at the moment on what
(29:06):
that all looks like, but a standard approach of a
mediation of assignment building or a building of sigemic issues
would be that you know, a fire engineer would be
involved to do it. Gap analysis report of the building
and be able to tell the owners how it complies
currently with the Building Code and what it may need
to do to comply with any other provisions of the
(29:29):
Building Code.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Now, all the changes that they have made on earthquakes,
where does that put us in terms of global rankings?
You know, how safe would the buildings be here and
relative to earthquake risk versus other places.
Speaker 11 (29:43):
Look, I wouldn't be able to say. I don't work internationally,
so you know my expertise is in New Zealand. What
I would say is that I do have some concern
about the removal of seismic upgrade to buildings and low
risk areas. I suppose I did hear something on your
news bulletin earlier today where somebody was talking about if
(30:08):
you remove those requirements in low risk areas, what happens
if something happened similar to what happened in Australia a
few years ago in a low risk area where it
earthquake did it? And so when we look at Auckland,
and I'm not trying to scaremonger here, but if something
did happen in Auckland that could significantly cripple our country.
(30:29):
So I think building owners need to be cognizant of
the changes and if they feel that there are things
that need to be done to their building, there is
nothing stopping them doing work to their building if they
are concerned about it.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Darrell, appreciate your time. Darryl August, who's with the New
Zealand Institute of Building Survey as their president. It is
eight minutes away from six.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
On your radio and online on iHeartRadio edition with Ryan
Bridge and one roof Love where you Live News.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Talks ed B six to six News Talks said be
Denmark's justiceman As has come out overnight and said the
hybrid attacks from Russia where they think it's from Russia,
you know, the drones and you've got the fighter jets
and the incursions into EU airspace, well, he said it's
comparing it to nine to eleven in the US, saying
it's going to become the new normal. And Denmark is
due to hold the EU Summit on Wednesday, which may
(31:27):
have something to do with it. That's being affected. Sweden
sending in some antidrone equipment to help them out anyway.
It is five to two and Mike, Ryan, Mike's in
the studio Morning, Mike morning, good to see you. What's
going on today?
Speaker 13 (31:40):
Well, I mean a whole bunch of stuff. The stats
have you done the health stats this morning? I mean,
if something goes from seventy one point three percent to
seventy two point six, is that I mean, is that
a thing?
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Statistically?
Speaker 13 (31:53):
I mean statistically is that? I mean? How many people
did they put in the department yesterday to run through
those numbers to be able to put out a press release?
We go, Oh my god, that's incredible. I'm assuming someone
somewhere feels better about the health system.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Finally, even Rob Campbell did this morning.
Speaker 13 (32:07):
Well, I mean it's I mean, you can't ague the
number is good, so that that part's encouraging. But this
Southern Cross thing this morning, Yes, three point eight million
claims last year. So do you know how many insurance
companies there are in this country? Twenty four So there's
actually eighty something number of insurers, but they've all coalesced around,
So there's twenty four insurance companies in this country. The
(32:29):
Southern Cross obviously the biggest, but three point Just think
about how many of this are there. There's a bit
of five points something virtually everyone each year makes a
medical claim of some description, and they're paying out well
in excess. It's heading towards two billion dollars. And there's
something not right about.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Two and a half thousand new knees. Two and a
half Well, I mean that.
Speaker 13 (32:50):
I mean, if you want to go back to Simmon Brown,
who we got on the program, I mean, that's how
you do. It doesn't If you want to up the
number of things, what you do is go cataracts, because
all you do is you put money as nies a
big and hips are big, but cataracts are easy. So
you go, right, how do we increase the number of
operations or procedures?
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Will do?
Speaker 13 (33:05):
Let's set aside a few million dollars for some cataracts.
Bang and you suddenly your numbers are eaten into you.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Yeah. I think we had a text to this morning
saying with the ed wait times, they reckon that if
from the time you go into the time that you
are discharged, that should be ede wait time. But they
reckon they count it from when you see the specialist
or see the doctor, so it doesn't actually count the
time you wait.
Speaker 13 (33:27):
The whole thing's manipulated. But do you feel I mean,
I had a family member this week. You had a procedure,
for example, just a very minor procedure. But the place,
it's like a factory in there. It's like there's hundreds
of people waiting, just being ping.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
But there's so many older people who need it, so well,
clearly there is.
Speaker 13 (33:43):
But I mean, what's the matter with where was last
time you had a medical procedure? Exactly?
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Yeah, I couldn't tell you, but I'm young, and mats.
Speaker 13 (33:49):
Well exactly look at you anyway, we look at all of.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
Us and more this month.
