The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
earlier ship with r V Supercenter, explore r V successories
and servicing all in one news talks.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
That'd be good morning. Six after five coming up, we'll
look at this truancy plan from David Seymour. The Aussies
have done a trade sorry defense deal with Papua New Guinea,
which is interesting. We'll look at that in what is
trying to think airports are safe for now? On a
Commcom investigation? Bates or duries? Which one should we be smoking?
All ahead.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
The agenda?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Who said the seventh of October? Another one by it's
the dust another Prench PM gone seventh under Macron. By
the way, this is Lecornu, less than a day after
his cabinet was announced, three weeks on the job, shorter
than a Kim Kardashian wedding.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Being a prime minister is a difficult job, perhaps even
more so at the moment. But you cannot be a
prime minister when the conditions are not mat.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
So we'll wait and see what happens there. I'll tell
you give you a rundown on what the options are
for mccron next. Israel says it's deported Greted Timberg and
a whole bunch of others from her crew, one hundred
and seventy of them negotiations negotiators. By the way, I've
arrived in Egypt, where peace talks with Hamas are supposed
to kick off. Lated today a deadly blizzard has left
hundreds of hikers stranded on Mount Everest. One person's died
(01:20):
and more than two hundred are still stuck.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
This is getting quite common. Horts metrologists and also mountain
guides are speaking to someone just now as saying for
the past six years, this is happening increasingly becoming common,
and that's why they are in trouble because they you know,
they promote all this tours, seeing that octobers Wan, your
clear Skies mess raising views of the Himalayas. But then
(01:43):
this is what you'll get.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Finally, English best selling author Dame Jilly Cooper has died
at the age of eighty eight. One of her best
known books, Rivals, was recently adapted for TV Disney Plus
Have Listen.
Speaker 6 (01:55):
Nineteen eighty six.
Speaker 7 (01:58):
Who can have one?
Speaker 8 (02:00):
You wont tryn't direct Colswarts.
Speaker 9 (02:05):
Saying things are going to happen to us in the
place right.
Speaker 8 (02:10):
To.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
If they don't start spending some of that fortune making
decent television, you're going to lose your business.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
And it was decent television too, a brilliant piece of
British launch. Queen K. Miller has paid tributes, saying very
few writers get to be a legend in their own lifetime,
but Jilly was one.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
The first word on the News of the Day early
edition with Ryan Bridge and r V Supercenter explore r
v's accessories and servicing all in one news talks at
b got.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
The OCA decision tomorrow eight after five, nineteen ninety two,
and the nzed I does this policy shadow board meeting
where they get a bunch of economists together. I'll give
you some names. Kelly Ecole from Westpact, you know him.
Jared Kerr from Kiwibank, Arthur Grimes, he's at University Victoria,
University Wellington, Doug Steele be inz. So they all get
(03:02):
together and they pretend they're the Reserve Back Monetary Policy Committee. Anyway,
the majority of them have said and predicted a twenty
five basis point cut tomorrow, inflation heading towards three percent. Yeah,
it's short term it's midterm. We'll get through it. We'll
get to two by next mid next year. But there's
still a risk. So don't go crazy, don't go double
(03:24):
where me, just go twenty five basis points at this point.
And by the way, yes, we went backwards in quarter too,
but we're growing again now. Anyway, that's the NZI Shadow committee.
Speaking of shadowy. What about the Greens in this press
conference yesterday were to do with Gaza? And this chick
who's this woman who was involved with the protest at
(03:46):
Winston Peter's house. Okay, this was last Thursday. She's there
waving her bann hoer and going on her TikTok and
her Instagram and I mean these people are basically nutjobs,
and going on her Instagram and going on social media
and saying, ah, here we are down here at Winston's house,
like his private house, personal house where his partner lives,
(04:06):
and then saying to her friend, shall I tell everyone
where it is and then says the address of our
foreign Minister's Fast forward a couple of days, she's up
there with Chloe looking all devastated and distraught for the
people of Gaza, up there at a press conference that's
been organized by the Green Party. Would love to know,
(04:29):
by the way, who's paying for the flights that averyone
to get here is at the Green Party leader's office,
in which case it is us that's paying for it. Anyway,
that's a sidebar. Here is this woman who has just
blurted out the Foreign Minister's address to all in sundry
fronting a press conference next to the co leader of
the Green Party, and then someone goes and throws a
(04:53):
something through a glass window at Winston Peter's house yesterday.
Now I don't know who did that, I have no idea,
but there was a note left, so we'll find out today,
no doubt what happens with the note. But you can't
stand there on the moral high ground and say those
people on the far right are just so filthy and
then endorse behavior like that? Can you? Eleven after five
(05:14):
News Talk.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
SAB on your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition
with Ryan Bridge and are the Supercenter explore are these
accessories and servicing all than one?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
News talks'd B five thirteen. Good morning, Paymark, and we're
wanting to know how many times we're swiping Worldline, which
is Paymark one of the Payment Processes says that consumer
spending was up for September one point one percent. This
is compared to September twenty four. But bad news is
when you look at places like Auckland and take into
(05:47):
account things like inflation, actually it was zero. Basically we
went nowhere in terms of spending. Wellington up zero point
one percent, christ which actually went backwards zero point five percent.
This is the kind of stuff the the NPC at
the MBNZ will be watching closely. Fourteen after five, Ryan
Bridge else New Zealand's ordering thousands more vapes to help
(06:07):
smokers quit. They say the pilot programs that they've already
done have helped more than four thousand. Kiwis ditched the
Durries in just six months. Doctor Buzz Burrow is GP
ALTERIRA cheer. Good morning, Buzz, Oh, good morning, Ryan. Good
to have you on the show. Is this a good thing?
I mean, and we're better off vaping than we are smoking,
that's what we're told.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Well, it's a good question, and your opening line is
not incorrect. We are better off vaping than smoking. However,
we're better off not doing anything than vaping. And I
think that's where GPR is disappointed. We believe that the
government and two and whoever's in between them almost misleading
the public on the apparent success of this initiative. It's
(06:50):
not as successful as it looks. It's almost like saying, look,
it's better to drive a little bit drunk than very drunk.
It's a step in the right direction, but it's certainly
not as good as that making it out to be.
It's just give you some idea of how we believe
it's been a mislead. I work at a South Aukland
general practice and only last week I saw a teenager
(07:11):
pick up one of the two leaflets saying babe, and
he said, look, Mama, I told you they're safe, and
that's the message getting across. They're not safe, and we
wish there was there's just a little bit more honesty
behind the data.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
So you're just saying it's a branding thing. Really by
making it telling people it's the least bad the hearing
it's healthy.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Yeah, perfectly worded. And moreover, we're replacing one addiction with
another addiction, which is not safe. If you think about
the science, it is very clever. Whoever invented the idea
of inhaling a substance. Got it right. If you're addicted
to something, you swallow it, your brain gets it hit
in about twenty minutes. If you intravenously inject it, your
(07:54):
brain gets it hit in about sixty seconds. But if
you inhale it, your brain gets that hit in fifteen
twenty seconds. That cycle, that addictive cycle, I wanted. I
got it. That was great. There's no faster way of
rewarding that than inhaling something. So someone is using inhaling
tobacco and getting a hit, if we're giving them a vape,
they're going to get the.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Same Because what do they do then? What are they damned?
If they do? Damed if they don't. Do they just
not order these things? Or do they need to say here,
you know, put up a skull and crossbone on it.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
In In fact, well look it up. Until about eighteen
months ago, that's what we had, and the entire medical
profession was a gas at this current government reversed the
smoking legislation and that was really everybody thought a step
in the completely wrong duration, which to see why it's
fiscally driven, but that actually is unhelpful in the long term.
So yeah, I think the answer is I'll be honest.
(08:45):
The eighty percent of people are still vaping when they've
officially quit twelve months later. The UK did a study
and worked out that two thirds of people who said
they'd quit by it into vaping, two thirds were still
vaping five years after they've given up. And this stuff
is not saved. There are lung conditions, the cudy of
(09:05):
ascent conditions. This is not a safe alternative from.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
One bad thing to another. Doctor Buzz Burrow with us
this morning. It is five seventeen. News Talks be coming up. Next,
I'll tell you about the airports and why are the
Comcom's not going to be looking into them and giving
them a good spanking.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Views and views you trust to start your day in
early edition with Ryan Bridge and r V super Center
explore r these accessories and servicing Fall and One News.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Talks b five nineteen. So the Financial Markets Authority goes
after IAG insurance. Why because they overcharge us to the
tune of thirty five million dollars for fear dealing breaches. Okay,
fair enough, very good, but they overcharged thirty five million dollars.
The fine they were ordered to pay twenty million, so
they've actually made money out of this. How does that
make sense? Help me make that make sense? Sure, they
(09:58):
self reported the failures apparently, although they did it later
than they should have, they knew and sat on it
for a little while according to the evidence that was given,
and they are now doing everything they can to prevent
the issues from happening again. I G made north of
six hundred million dollar profit last year. This is seven
days worth of their trading twenty after five. Brian the
(10:18):
ComCom says it won't investigate sky high airport costs despite
pressure from airlines. Instead, it'll tighten rules next year to
better monitor big airport projects, and New Zealand, as you know,
has publicly had beef about this. They say fees of
more than doubled in two years in Auckland could cost
them half a billion bucks by twenty thirty two. Billy
Moore is New Zealand Airport's Association Chief executive. Billy, good morning,
(10:41):
good morning. So you're not off scot free here the airport.
So there is going to be a bit more monitoring,
a couple of changes made, but no investigation.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
Yeah, that's right. It's not a it's a constructive outcome
to work on the information disclosure regime. But you know
it's it is all about balo from the system here
in New Zealand has made that claim, as you have said.
But while they say they might pay half a billion
dollars in fees, look in New Zealand, Auckland is their
(11:11):
biggest hubs. They're also are protected to make from that
six point five billion dollars by twenty thirty two. So
while it might be one of their biggest costs that
they're managing, it's also one of the places where they
make the most money.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Why are you charging so much? Is it just because
you're doing the upgrades and once that's done things were
back to normal or what.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
Auckland Airport's fees are about where most international airport fees fits.
They're not particularly high. They've been up maybe a dollar
fifty a year over the past few years, and some
of it is about stabilizing fees after them being extremely
low for about at least a decade.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
That's right, Why would they low for a decade?
Speaker 7 (11:56):
Well, it's taken a long time for Auckland Airport to
get infrastructure build progressing and part of the reasons for
there has been resistance from the airlines over that time,
trying to delay the build and reduce it, which means
that the costs now will be a little bit steeper
than they otherwise would have been a progressiveing MyD earlier.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Appreciate your time, Billy Billy Moore, New Zealand Airports Association,
Chief Executive. Time is twenty two minutes after five. Quickly
update on the French situation for you. So this is Lecorno.
He's that what he's been for about a month, well
a couple of months, the Prime minister, but he's only
(12:36):
managed to cobble together a cabinet in the last twenty
four hours away he's already gone. So basically this makes
France ungovernable because they've now been through short distint for
a French Prime minister in modern history. For him, by
the way, you'll remember close ally of mccron. He's a
former Foreign minister. Fifth PM since Macron was re elected
(12:58):
in twenty twenty two, third since those Summer Olympic Games
snap election, remember when that all went down. They basically
bug it. They'll split a third to third to third.
You've got a third on the right, a third on
the left and a third in the middle, and they
can't agree on a budget. Can't agree on whether to
butter a croissant, these guys. And if you can't pass
a budget, which they need to because they got the
(13:18):
third highest debt in the EU, their debt to GDP
ratio is twice the supposed cap that the EU sets
of sixty percent. So Macron's got a couple of options.
I'll tell you what they are when we come back. Also,
just a note on not on councils per se, but
a new thing that's popped up to do with councils
(13:41):
that involves the rest of us.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
That's next the early edition full show podcast on IR
Radio powered by Newstalks.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
B five twenty five News Talks B. Just when you
thought local council couldn't get more absurd extravagant, they've dreamt
up a new way to not make decisions, to do
less with more citizens assemblies. Have you heard of these
crackpot idea the Romans once used. But Romans did lots
of weird stuff that we stopped doing, and this should
be one of them. They've got one on the boiler
(14:09):
and Huanganui. You might have heard of it in Napier
forty unelected locals have just finished sitting around talking about
where to put a new swimming pool and what that
pool might look like. Four weeks later, eight hundred dollars
per person, including refreshments and god knows what else one
hundred thousand dollars in total from the rates take. It's
basically a catered chin wag between neighbors and they call
(14:32):
it an assembly. And guess what. They couldn't come up
with a consensus on where to put the pool. Despite
all the expertise, the opinions for Africa, the specialists, the lamingtons,
no location was decided. You cannot make the stuff up.
Why bother with a council, why bother with a mayor,
why bother with a government? Like Keffer's d day sets
and recycled period cups. These citizens assemblies are very much
(14:55):
in vogue with the radical left across Europe right now,
but they are also a massive waste of time and money.
And the more I read about stuff like this, the
more I think we'd be better off dispensing with democracy
and bringing in a dictator. The Napier mayor Kirsten Wise,
was quoted as saying the assembly's recommendations were an invaluable
starting point in the journey towards a new pool. Give
(15:19):
me strength, an invaluable starting point for a new swimming
pool as a hole in the ground. Bryan Bridge, twenty seven,
after five news talks, he'd been nine two nineties and
under text. Now Australia's signed this, and we've been hearing
about this for a little while. We've heard murmurs about
what might be involved. Now we've got the hard text
(15:40):
of the treaty between Papua New Guinea and Australia. An
armed attack on one nation listening China, listening Beijing, an
armed attack on one nation presents a threat to both
and action would be taken in that if that was
to be the case, similar to the wording of the
(16:00):
American Australian Defense Pack. So basically they are defense allies
at this point. And Australia will also get access to
Papua New Guinea's military facilities and its troops, and ten
thousand Papua New Guineans will serve in Australia's military. This
is what the p png PM had to say about,
(16:21):
you know, the China question.
Speaker 10 (16:23):
We've been transparent, We have told him that Australia has
become my secretty partner of toys and they understand our
alliance this year.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
So we will talk to Donna Demayo about that. She's
on our show afternows at five point thirty.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
Rayan Bridge back to.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
The French just for a second, Alcorno, So what do
you do because this is less than a month from
the job you know ours after a year point announces
his cabinet and it's gone another one by it's the dust.
What do you do, Macron? Because you've got a split
of your parliaments split a third or third or third.
He has three options either this is Macron. Either he
(17:03):
resigns and appoints another Prime minister and probably be in
the same position again in a week or two time.
You could dissolve parliament go back to the polls. However,
you would then end up in the same situation again
because they reckon they would just vote the same way.
So basically this morning, for not the first time in
(17:24):
a long time, France is completely ungovernable news Talk said
be Money Duma last.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Ryan Bridge on early edition with r VS Supercenter explore
r v's accessories and servicing all in one News Talks
A B just feel totally squeezed.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Good morning, it is Tuesday, twenty four minutes away from six.
Before we'll get to David Cymour is coming for Uturance.
If you're listening to this this morning, probably a bit
early for you, but David Sima is coming for you
will explain all. Plus we're in Australia Live the RBNZ.
The big Houhara in the last twenty four hours has
been about this payment. So in total, Adrianaw's remuneration for
(18:18):
the July first, twenty twenty four to March thirty first,
twenty twenty five period is one point one eight two
million dollars. That includes four hundred and sixteen thousand restrained
trade payment That has irked a lot of people. But
did you know the staff expenses at the Reserve Bank
are up twenty four percent in the year to June.
This is according to their annual report, twenty four percent
(18:39):
six hundred and twenty five point one full time equivalent
positions versus six hundred and one in the prior year.
So what's going on here? I don't know, but I
can tell you. And this was the big debate between
Or and the government was how much do you actually spend?
I can tell you that I had a look this
morning at Risbank. This is sweden Central Bank. We're about
(19:01):
to get our new Swede commander. They have five hundred
and ninety employees, so they have fewer employees at the
Swedish Central Bank than we have at ours in New Zealand.
There GDP five hundred and ninety billion US dollars a
year ours two hundred and sixty, so they have fewer
(19:22):
employees at their central bank and twice the output as
an economy. So hopefully this Swede will come in and
do the opposite of Swedish. Rounding us down twenty two
away from six Ryan Bridge, our reporters come into need
and color good morning morning, right Otago Polytech is pausing
its charity house initiative. What's that? Yeah, but the sign
(19:45):
of the times?
Speaker 11 (19:46):
This one this was set up almost two decades ago,
a house built by trade students here and it's sold
at auction to the general public. So far, more than
one point seven million dollars in profit from the sale
of the charity house has been donated to local charities
through the project. But sadly the politics says the rising
costs of materials has now made this initiative financially unsustainable.
(20:09):
It's not even breaking even on the builds, so it's
off and out, it says. The trades teams will explore
other opportunities for students to help the community. All right,
how's your weare the callum mainly fine charts for a
shower this afternoon, westerly strong for a time and fourteen today.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Thank you Claire and christ Church morning, Claire, good morning.
What's going on this? Christ Church Maldi Immersion School getting
a new home?
Speaker 12 (20:29):
Yeah, this is after a sixteen year battle with the
Ministry of Education. The school is called Tefano Tahi. It's
built on a site at Lyttleton Street that was a
former landfill. Teachers have reported leaky and maldi classrooms. The
school ranked low on the rebuild list after the earthquakes,
though a twenty twenty agreement to rebuild it was later scrapped.
(20:50):
The Kodako Pappa will now be shifting to the site
of the old Seven Oaks School in Harswille. The Ministry
says it's safer and more suitable there and who supports
the educational and cultural needs of the schools. A timeline
though for the move is yet to be confirmed.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
All right, how's you Webb?
Speaker 12 (21:06):
Mainly fine, There is a few showers about today. Southwesterly
is turning north easterly and the high will be fifteen.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Maxim Wellington Hamax, Good morning. Now you've got the Candala
murderer to appeal.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Yeah, this is Julia Delooney, the Candala daughter who was
convicted earlier this year of fatally bludgeoning her elderly mother,
Helen Gregory, at the latter's suburban home.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Deluoney had money.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Issues that had lost a lot of it investing in crypto.
Possibly was stealing from Gregory as well, we learned in
the trial, possibly wanted more money. The Post report She's
now lodged an appeal against her conviction and sentence. She's
hiring high profile lawyer Kerry Cook. Cook, you might recall,
has represented Scott Watson. She represented the gang member accused
(21:49):
of murdering Mellory Manning in christ Church. We had a
four week trial this year, dozens of witnesses, a fifty
four year old Deloney unsuccessfully arguing that someone else had
shown up at the house in this ninety minute window
when she wasn't there between her visiting mistaken identity, she argued,
the only thing working in her favor, but perhaps was
a lack of clear motive. Money was what the crown,
(22:11):
I argued clearly a refusal to accept her fate being
life imprisonment with a minimum eighteen years.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
All right, Max, how's your weather?
Speaker 4 (22:19):
She'll be fine this morning and then wet this afternoon,
strong winds sixteen the hay I didn't thank you.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Need it was an Aukland ne a, good morning, Good morning.
So we've got a lot of back and forth over
Garza and et cetera. But someone's thrown something into a
window at Winston Paiter's personal home.
Speaker 8 (22:35):
Yes, that's right, is Auckland House. So police they were
called to the address yesterday. Now the offender left the
scene wasn't able to be located, but in a social
media post Winston said, look, it's truly gut liss. He's
quite right. Glass apparently was shedded all over his dog
and there was a sign left on the front door.
Don't know what the sign said, but anyway, yeah I know.
(22:59):
But Christoph Luxen and obviously labor leader Chris Hipkins have
both come out that condemned the attack. And of course
this follows those protests outside Peter's home that was in
support of those on board the gars of flotilla. So
he had protests. You know, I was over the weekend
and then this incident happened.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
But yeah, we had Chloe condemning any of this year.
That's the question, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
That's the question.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yes, Normally I don't talk about It's like fight club.
I don't talk about what's on my other show this
morning while I'm on this show. But that we're starting
with Winston Peters and Chloe will follow him at seven
o'clock this morning.
Speaker 8 (23:31):
Oh that'll be good.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
That's on here all now. But yeah, very interesting to
see what happens, because there was also the woman who
was outside Winston's house who they then put in their
press conference yesterday outside his house telling of runners a
dress in this day and age. That's just stupid.
Speaker 8 (23:47):
It is stupid, isn't it quite right?
Speaker 2 (23:48):
How's our weather?
Speaker 8 (23:49):
Okay, we've got morning rain, could be heavy, otherwise isolated
showers later today and that will clear this evening. Still,
those strong winds though eighteen is a high here and
all clipt.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Brilliant thank you very much for that. It is Tuesday morning.
You're on news Talks B eighteen to six. If you
run a small business, and I know many of you do,
you know how annoying it is waiting to get paid.
You finish the job, you send the invoice, and then
you spend weeks chasing up people like some sort of
debt collective. Will Zero's tapped pay power by Stripe changes
all of this. Your customer taps their card on your phone. Boom,
(24:20):
You're paid on the spot. No fancy payment terminal needed,
just the Zero accounting app. And here's the really smart bit.
Once the payment goes through, the invoices automatically marks paid
and zero ready to be reconciled. That's less admin less
mucking around with the paperwork, more time running your actual business,
which is what you love doing. It's secure, it's instant,
keeps your cash flow moving instead of grinding to a
(24:42):
holt every month. Accept payments on the spot as soon
as the job's complete. No more awkward conversations about getting
that invoice to you later on. For small businesses, this
could genuinely be a game changer. Less time chasing late payments,
more time focusing on what you do best. Supercharge your
business with zero tap to pay getting paid. Just got
a whole lot easier search, zero tap.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
To pay, International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace
of mind for New Zealand business.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
We'll get to David Seymour's truancy campaign and a second
person into my own Australia on a good morning, Good
morning to you. Tell us about this defense treaty with PMNG.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
Well, it is a landmark mutual defense pact and it
could see troops deployed to PNG if it is attacked.
And we know that Anthony Albinezi, our Prime Minister, and
his Papua New Guinean counterpart, James Murrupi linked this landmark
packed in Canberra and they say that well, we heard
from both of them, of course. He said that it
(25:43):
was committing Australia to securing and shaping our future together.
The treaty elevates the relationship between the two nations to
the status of an alliance and it's the first such
agreement in more than seventy years and as we know,
only the third in Australia's history. The PM says it's
a great honor that our nearest neighbor is our newest
(26:03):
ally and of course mister Mrapi also echoed that sentiment. Interestingly,
there were a few extra words from the PM. Both
the nations have also agreed not to undertake any activities
or enter into any agreements that would compromise the implementation
of this treaty. Do you think that's a thinly veiled
nod too, referencing maybe China?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Possibly, Hey, very quickly, who's appealing against the sentence for
the mushroom killer? M okay?
Speaker 6 (26:32):
Prosecutors have today, oh sorry, yesterday lodged an appeal against
Aaron Patterson's sentence. Now we know she was sentenced to
life in prison with a non parole period of thirty
three years for killing three relatives with beef wellington laced
with death cap mushrooms, and there was the attempted murder
charge for a fourth and she was also found guilty there.
So last week Pattison's legal team announced it would appeal
(26:54):
her conviction. Now the grounds for that appeal have not
been outlined as yet, But then we heard from prosecutors
and they've lodged their appeal. It's been filed on the
basis that the sentence is considered manifestly inadequate by the prosecutor.
Prosecutors now we know that she was spared the harshest penalty,
which is life sentence, no parole. But as it stands,
(27:14):
she could be freed by twenty fifty six, when she'll
be eighty two years old.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
And I thank you done to my are Australia correspondent,
twelve minutes away from six Bryan Bridge, your on News
Talk said, be David Seymour's school attendance cracked down continues.
So he's scrapped the old contracts that they were operating
under and set tougher attendance targets one hundred and twenty
three million dollars extra over four years. Eighty three new
deals one hundred and seventy schools that get extra help
the chronic absentees. Three percent of funding will go to
(27:42):
basics like uniforms, devices, transport for kids who can't afford them.
Kathy Charmers is Green Meadows Intermediate Principle lead principle of
the Monday How Attendance Service with me now, Kathy, good morning,
good morning, So what's happened with your contract under this.
Speaker 9 (27:58):
Yes, so we've won a contract for Alphaston Tucknay catchment,
so we only applied for that part of Manuoa. So
that's the area that we'll be served. Yeah, so it's
a it's a good contract.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
These are the way that he's designed it, doing things
like instead of getting money based on how many students
you've got, but based on how many students you've got absent.
Are these smart things? Will these make a difference?
Speaker 9 (28:26):
I believe they will. I think that's a much fairer
way of distributing the resourcing. Our number of attendant services
that we will be able to get in our areas doubled.
Having said that, we also have taken on the non
enrolled contract as well, so that you know the number
of cases will be increasing as well and be a
(28:49):
little bit more complex.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
We know that by twenty thirty the goal is eighty
percent of students attending school more than ninety percent of
the time. What's your area at the moment? What are
where are you at? And do you think you can
get there?
Speaker 9 (29:02):
My school at the moments floats around sixty percent. I'd
like to think that we could get there, but it's
a pretty it's a pretty aspirational target to reach two aspects.
For that four days off in the winter turn when
it's you know, there's a lot of illness going around
in our area. That's a tricky one to meet the
(29:26):
ninety percent target. But also the chronic absences in our
area are usually at the root of them are really
really complex situations, and that's going to to be honest.
I think that also needs wrap around from other services,
not just the attendancy of this to make.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
That target, because those I didn't realize this three percent
of a school's allocation can be spent on stuff like
uniforms or transport. You know that if there are if
there are economic reasons of kids not attending school, we
can actually fix that.
Speaker 9 (30:02):
You can fix it short term, but you're not going
to be able to continue that funding long term. So
that would be where you would have to have another
avenue or hope that the parents would you know, it's
a kick start, I mean, certainly, I think that's a
really excellent part of the contract that we've got the
flexibility to do that, but there will be.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
You know, there's.
Speaker 9 (30:26):
Downsides to that as well, because what happens once that
funding for that child stops we can't continue to pay
that parents for the rest of their full time. So
one hopes that they get back to school and back
into a pattern of attendance, is what the hope is.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Kathy Chamers a charmer's forgiven me. Very great to have
you on the program. That's Green Meadows intermediate principle and
lead principle of the Monyado Attendance Service. It is eight
minutes away from six News Talk set big the news.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
You need this morning and the in depth analysis earlier
edition with Ryan bred Are the supersetor explore? Are these
accessories and servicing all in one news talks?
Speaker 2 (31:05):
They'd be fix to six News Talks. They'd be great
to have your company. The Hero's got an interesting one today.
It's about an old, beautiful building on the corner in
Mount Eden, and it's a debate about how high the
hedge can be because the locals who live in there,
the people who own the apartments, want privacy, so they
want a high hedge. But the people who walk past
want to see more of the beautiful building, so they
(31:28):
are now going to the dispute trophy you trying to
sort this out. Mike's in the studio, Good morning, Mike.
Speaker 13 (31:32):
It's the Body Corporate and that story, that story just
reminds me of everything that's wrong with this country. It's
bored people who've got nothing better to do.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
It don't if you don't own the building, you don't know,
you don't have a right none, look, no, no, no,
it's no.
Speaker 13 (31:48):
The story is about the corporate, the Body Corporate. So
the Body Corporate when they got consent, has the line
at zero point eight, so it it can't be any
more than eighty centimeters. So they're arguing, well, according to
the conceit, we've got to keep it at point eight.
She wants it, the owner of the ground floor apartment
wants it for privacy. Others want it slashed down. So
it's Mechaylia too. It's a nice it's a nice hedge,
(32:09):
the old mechaalea hedge.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
It's a nice hedge. It's a nice building.
Speaker 13 (32:12):
Having been in apartments and body corporates, I can tell you.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
I mean nightmare, shoot me now. But it's like, you know,
just in suburbs around Auckland, where they say the council
says you can't have a high fence because it just
doesn't just a street look pretty and it's like, well,
maybe if there wasn't so much crime, I wouldn't need
a high fence.
Speaker 13 (32:28):
Well, you go to a lot of towns round New Zealand,
fencing is not as fencing is an urban thing and
your walls are an urban thing. You know, there's an
industry in walls and security gates and cameras and all
that sort of stuff. You go to a lot of
provincial New Zealand you can still do like in the
house I grew up, your lorn ends at the footpath
and people can just wander and wouldn't that be a
nice way to live?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
But it's not. Who probably wants a big wall around
his head and he.
Speaker 13 (32:52):
Has he hasn't got one, and that's that's his problem.
He's got an unfortunate house. It's a pretty house, but
it's an unfortunate house because it's because it's an old
house and in the suburbans and it's right literally.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
On the street, and you can't get big fences because
it's a character area exactly. They won't let you.
Speaker 13 (33:08):
And so this is one of these things. We'll talk
to Grahame Michelor about it this morning. There's one of
those things where you can't do much about the law
unless you do a king hit type thing. You know
how they've done king hits. It's a separate charge or crime,
so it's actually hit, but they've delineated that aggravating and
I just because I mean that the damage you're doing
to a person's privacy and property vastly outweighs the crime
(33:30):
itself per se total. So therefore the police are going
to be going, well, look, I'm wasting the time because
this will never end up in court. So maybe you
need to look at something specific, which is, you know,
if you single out a public official and damage their property,
you get from stuck in jail for twenty seven years
and get tased.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
And I'd be all behind that the whole time. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
every year tase it exactly. Don't know when it's going
to come er, so I see surprise tasering have a
great day of run Stamo.

That'd be good morning. Six after five coming up, we'll

have done a trade sorry defense deal with Papua New Guinea,
which is interesting. We'll look at that in what is
trying to think airports are safe for now? On a
Commcom investigation? Bates or duries? Which one should we be smoking?
All ahead.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
The agenda?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Who said the seventh of October? Another one by it's
the dust another Prench PM gone seventh under Macron. By
the way, this is Lecornu, less than a day after
his cabinet was announced, three weeks on the job, shorter
than a Kim Kardashian wedding.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Being a prime minister is a difficult job, perhaps even
more so at the moment. But you cannot be a
prime minister when the conditions are not mat.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
So we'll wait and see what happens there. I'll tell
you give you a rundown on what the options are
for mccron next. Israel says it's deported Greted Timberg and
a whole bunch of others from her crew, one hundred
and seventy of them negotiations negotiators. By the way, I've
arrived in Egypt, where peace talks with Hamas are supposed
to kick off. Lated today a deadly blizzard has left
hundreds of hikers stranded on Mount Everest. One person's died
(01:20):
and more than two hundred are still stuck.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
This is getting quite common. Horts metrologists and also mountain
guides are speaking to someone just now as saying for
the past six years, this is happening increasingly becoming common,
and that's why they are in trouble because they you know,
they promote all this tours, seeing that octobers Wan, your
clear Skies mess raising views of the Himalayas. But then
(01:43):
this is what you'll get.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Finally, English best selling author Dame Jilly Cooper has died
at the age of eighty eight. One of her best
known books, Rivals, was recently adapted for TV Disney Plus
Have Listen.

decent television, you're going to lose your business.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
And it was decent television too, a brilliant piece of
British launch. Queen K. Miller has paid tributes, saying very
few writers get to be a legend in their own lifetime,

The OCA decision tomorrow eight after five, nineteen ninety two,
and the nzed I does this policy shadow board meeting
where they get a bunch of economists together. I'll give
you some names. Kelly Ecole from Westpact, you know him.
Jared Kerr from Kiwibank, Arthur Grimes, he's at University Victoria,
University Wellington, Doug Steele be inz. So they all get
(03:02):
together and they pretend they're the Reserve Back Monetary Policy Committee. Anyway,
the majority of them have said and predicted a twenty
five basis point cut tomorrow, inflation heading towards three percent. Yeah,
it's short term it's midterm. We'll get through it. We'll
get to two by next mid next year. But there's
still a risk. So don't go crazy, don't go double
(03:24):
where me, just go twenty five basis points at this point.
And by the way, yes, we went backwards in quarter too,
but we're growing again now. Anyway, that's the NZI Shadow committee.
Speaking of shadowy. What about the Greens in this press
conference yesterday were to do with Gaza? And this chick
who's this woman who was involved with the protest at
(03:46):
Winston Peter's house. Okay, this was last Thursday. She's there
waving her bann hoer and going on her TikTok and
her Instagram and I mean these people are basically nutjobs,
and going on her Instagram and going on social media
and saying, ah, here we are down here at Winston's house,
like his private house, personal house where his partner lives,
(04:06):
and then saying to her friend, shall I tell everyone
where it is and then says the address of our
foreign Minister's Fast forward a couple of days, she's up
there with Chloe looking all devastated and distraught for the
people of Gaza, up there at a press conference that's
been organized by the Green Party. Would love to know,
(04:29):
by the way, who's paying for the flights that averyone
to get here is at the Green Party leader's office,
in which case it is us that's paying for it. Anyway,
that's a sidebar. Here is this woman who has just
blurted out the Foreign Minister's address to all in sundry
fronting a press conference next to the co leader of
the Green Party, and then someone goes and throws a
(04:53):
something through a glass window at Winston Peter's house yesterday.
Now I don't know who did that, I have no idea,
but there was a note left, so we'll find out today,
no doubt what happens with the note. But you can't
stand there on the moral high ground and say those
people on the far right are just so filthy and
then endorse behavior like that? Can you? Eleven after five
(05:14):
News Talk.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
News talks'd B five thirteen. Good morning, Paymark, and we're
wanting to know how many times we're swiping Worldline, which
is Paymark one of the Payment Processes says that consumer
spending was up for September one point one percent. This
is compared to September twenty four. But bad news is
when you look at places like Auckland and take into
(05:47):
account things like inflation, actually it was zero. Basically we
went nowhere in terms of spending. Wellington up zero point
one percent, christ which actually went backwards zero point five percent.
This is the kind of stuff the the NPC at
the MBNZ will be watching closely. Fourteen after five, Ryan
Bridge else New Zealand's ordering thousands more vapes to help
(06:07):
smokers quit. They say the pilot programs that they've already
done have helped more than four thousand. Kiwis ditched the
Durries in just six months. Doctor Buzz Burrow is GP
ALTERIRA cheer. Good morning, Buzz, Oh, good morning, Ryan. Good
to have you on the show. Is this a good thing?
I mean, and we're better off vaping than we are smoking,
that's what we're told.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Well, it's a good question, and your opening line is
not incorrect. We are better off vaping than smoking. However,
we're better off not doing anything than vaping. And I
think that's where GPR is disappointed. We believe that the
government and two and whoever's in between them almost misleading
the public on the apparent success of this initiative. It's
(06:50):
not as successful as it looks. It's almost like saying, look,
it's better to drive a little bit drunk than very drunk.
It's a step in the right direction, but it's certainly
not as good as that making it out to be.
It's just give you some idea of how we believe
it's been a mislead. I work at a South Aukland
general practice and only last week I saw a teenager
(07:11):
pick up one of the two leaflets saying babe, and
he said, look, Mama, I told you they're safe, and
that's the message getting across. They're not safe, and we
wish there was there's just a little bit more honesty
behind the data.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
So you're just saying it's a branding thing. Really by
making it telling people it's the least bad the hearing
it's healthy.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Yeah, perfectly worded. And moreover, we're replacing one addiction with
another addiction, which is not safe. If you think about
the science, it is very clever. Whoever invented the idea
of inhaling a substance. Got it right. If you're addicted
to something, you swallow it, your brain gets it hit
in about twenty minutes. If you intravenously inject it, your
(07:54):
brain gets it hit in about sixty seconds. But if
you inhale it, your brain gets that hit in fifteen
twenty seconds. That cycle, that addictive cycle, I wanted. I
got it. That was great. There's no faster way of
rewarding that than inhaling something. So someone is using inhaling
tobacco and getting a hit, if we're giving them a vape,
they're going to get the.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Same Because what do they do then? What are they damned?
If they do? Damed if they don't. Do they just
not order these things? Or do they need to say here,
you know, put up a skull and crossbone on it.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
In In fact, well look it up. Until about eighteen
months ago, that's what we had, and the entire medical
profession was a gas at this current government reversed the
smoking legislation and that was really everybody thought a step
in the completely wrong duration, which to see why it's
fiscally driven, but that actually is unhelpful in the long term.
So yeah, I think the answer is I'll be honest.
(08:45):
The eighty percent of people are still vaping when they've
officially quit twelve months later. The UK did a study
and worked out that two thirds of people who said
they'd quit by it into vaping, two thirds were still
vaping five years after they've given up. And this stuff
is not saved. There are lung conditions, the cudy of
(09:05):
ascent conditions. This is not a safe alternative from.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
One bad thing to another. Doctor Buzz Burrow with us
this morning. It is five seventeen. News Talks be coming up. Next,
I'll tell you about the airports and why are the
Comcom's not going to be looking into them and giving
them a good spanking.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Views and views you trust to start your day in

Speaker 2 (09:33):
Talks b five nineteen. So the Financial Markets Authority goes
after IAG insurance. Why because they overcharge us to the
tune of thirty five million dollars for fear dealing breaches. Okay,
fair enough, very good, but they overcharged thirty five million dollars.
The fine they were ordered to pay twenty million, so
they've actually made money out of this. How does that
make sense? Help me make that make sense? Sure, they
(09:58):
self reported the failures apparently, although they did it later
than they should have, they knew and sat on it
for a little while according to the evidence that was given,
and they are now doing everything they can to prevent
the issues from happening again. I G made north of
six hundred million dollar profit last year. This is seven
days worth of their trading twenty after five. Brian the
(10:18):
ComCom says it won't investigate sky high airport costs despite
pressure from airlines. Instead, it'll tighten rules next year to
better monitor big airport projects, and New Zealand, as you know,
has publicly had beef about this. They say fees of
more than doubled in two years in Auckland could cost
them half a billion bucks by twenty thirty two. Billy
Moore is New Zealand Airport's Association Chief executive. Billy, good morning,
(10:41):
good morning. So you're not off scot free here the airport.
So there is going to be a bit more monitoring,
a couple of changes made, but no investigation.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
Yeah, that's right. It's not a it's a constructive outcome
to work on the information disclosure regime. But you know
it's it is all about balo from the system here
in New Zealand has made that claim, as you have said.
But while they say they might pay half a billion
dollars in fees, look in New Zealand, Auckland is their
(11:11):
biggest hubs. They're also are protected to make from that
six point five billion dollars by twenty thirty two. So
while it might be one of their biggest costs that
they're managing, it's also one of the places where they
make the most money.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Why are you charging so much? Is it just because
you're doing the upgrades and once that's done things were
back to normal or what.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
Auckland Airport's fees are about where most international airport fees fits.
They're not particularly high. They've been up maybe a dollar
fifty a year over the past few years, and some
of it is about stabilizing fees after them being extremely
low for about at least a decade.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
That's right, Why would they low for a decade?
Speaker 7 (11:56):
Well, it's taken a long time for Auckland Airport to
get infrastructure build progressing and part of the reasons for
there has been resistance from the airlines over that time,
trying to delay the build and reduce it, which means
that the costs now will be a little bit steeper
than they otherwise would have been a progressiveing MyD earlier.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Appreciate your time, Billy Billy Moore, New Zealand Airports Association,
Chief Executive. Time is twenty two minutes after five. Quickly
update on the French situation for you. So this is Lecorno.
He's that what he's been for about a month, well
a couple of months, the Prime minister, but he's only
(12:36):
managed to cobble together a cabinet in the last twenty
four hours away he's already gone. So basically this makes
France ungovernable because they've now been through short distint for
a French Prime minister in modern history. For him, by
the way, you'll remember close ally of mccron. He's a
former Foreign minister. Fifth PM since Macron was re elected
(12:58):
in twenty twenty two, third since those Summer Olympic Games
snap election, remember when that all went down. They basically
bug it. They'll split a third to third to third.
You've got a third on the right, a third on
the left and a third in the middle, and they
can't agree on a budget. Can't agree on whether to
butter a croissant, these guys. And if you can't pass
a budget, which they need to because they got the
(13:18):
third highest debt in the EU, their debt to GDP
ratio is twice the supposed cap that the EU sets
of sixty percent. So Macron's got a couple of options.
I'll tell you what they are when we come back. Also,
just a note on not on councils per se, but
a new thing that's popped up to do with councils
(13:41):
that involves the rest of us.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
That's next the early edition full show podcast on IR
Radio powered by Newstalks.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
B five twenty five News Talks B. Just when you
thought local council couldn't get more absurd extravagant, they've dreamt
up a new way to not make decisions, to do
less with more citizens assemblies. Have you heard of these
crackpot idea the Romans once used. But Romans did lots
of weird stuff that we stopped doing, and this should
be one of them. They've got one on the boiler
(14:09):
and Huanganui. You might have heard of it in Napier
forty unelected locals have just finished sitting around talking about
where to put a new swimming pool and what that
pool might look like. Four weeks later, eight hundred dollars
per person, including refreshments and god knows what else one
hundred thousand dollars in total from the rates take. It's
basically a catered chin wag between neighbors and they call
(14:32):
it an assembly. And guess what. They couldn't come up
with a consensus on where to put the pool. Despite
all the expertise, the opinions for Africa, the specialists, the lamingtons,
no location was decided. You cannot make the stuff up.
Why bother with a council, why bother with a mayor,
why bother with a government? Like Keffer's d day sets
and recycled period cups. These citizens assemblies are very much
(14:55):
in vogue with the radical left across Europe right now,
but they are also a massive waste of time and money.
And the more I read about stuff like this, the
more I think we'd be better off dispensing with democracy
and bringing in a dictator. The Napier mayor Kirsten Wise,
was quoted as saying the assembly's recommendations were an invaluable
starting point in the journey towards a new pool. Give
(15:19):
me strength, an invaluable starting point for a new swimming
pool as a hole in the ground. Bryan Bridge, twenty seven,
after five news talks, he'd been nine two nineties and
under text. Now Australia's signed this, and we've been hearing
about this for a little while. We've heard murmurs about
what might be involved. Now we've got the hard text
(15:40):
of the treaty between Papua New Guinea and Australia. An
armed attack on one nation listening China, listening Beijing, an
armed attack on one nation presents a threat to both
and action would be taken in that if that was
to be the case, similar to the wording of the
(16:00):
American Australian Defense Pack. So basically they are defense allies
at this point. And Australia will also get access to
Papua New Guinea's military facilities and its troops, and ten
thousand Papua New Guineans will serve in Australia's military. This
is what the p png PM had to say about,
(16:21):
you know, the China question.
Speaker 10 (16:23):
We've been transparent, We have told him that Australia has
become my secretty partner of toys and they understand our
alliance this year.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
So we will talk to Donna Demayo about that. She's
on our show afternows at five point thirty.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
Rayan Bridge back to.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
The French just for a second, Alcorno, So what do
you do because this is less than a month from
the job you know ours after a year point announces
his cabinet and it's gone another one by it's the dust.
What do you do, Macron? Because you've got a split
of your parliaments split a third or third or third.
He has three options either this is Macron. Either he
(17:03):
resigns and appoints another Prime minister and probably be in
the same position again in a week or two time.
You could dissolve parliament go back to the polls. However,
you would then end up in the same situation again
because they reckon they would just vote the same way.

early for you, but David Sima is coming for you
will explain all. Plus we're in Australia Live the RBNZ.
The big Houhara in the last twenty four hours has
been about this payment. So in total, Adrianaw's remuneration for
(18:18):
the July first, twenty twenty four to March thirty first,
twenty twenty five period is one point one eight two
million dollars. That includes four hundred and sixteen thousand restrained
trade payment That has irked a lot of people. But
did you know the staff expenses at the Reserve Bank
are up twenty four percent in the year to June.
This is according to their annual report, twenty four percent
(18:39):
six hundred and twenty five point one full time equivalent
positions versus six hundred and one in the prior year.
So what's going on here? I don't know, but I
can tell you. And this was the big debate between
Or and the government was how much do you actually spend?
I can tell you that I had a look this
morning at Risbank. This is sweden Central Bank. We're about
(19:01):
to get our new Swede commander. They have five hundred
and ninety employees, so they have fewer employees at the
Swedish Central Bank than we have at ours in New Zealand.
There GDP five hundred and ninety billion US dollars a
year ours two hundred and sixty, so they have fewer
(19:22):
employees at their central bank and twice the output as
an economy. So hopefully this Swede will come in and
do the opposite of Swedish. Rounding us down twenty two
away from six Ryan Bridge, our reporters come into need
and color good morning morning, right Otago Polytech is pausing
its charity house initiative. What's that? Yeah, but the sign
(19:45):
of the times?
Speaker 11 (19:46):
This one this was set up almost two decades ago,
a house built by trade students here and it's sold
at auction to the general public. So far, more than
one point seven million dollars in profit from the sale
of the charity house has been donated to local charities
through the project. But sadly the politics says the rising
costs of materials has now made this initiative financially unsustainable.
(20:09):
It's not even breaking even on the builds, so it's
off and out, it says. The trades teams will explore
other opportunities for students to help the community. All right,
how's your weare the callum mainly fine charts for a
shower this afternoon, westerly strong for a time and fourteen today.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Thank you Claire and christ Church morning, Claire, good morning.
What's going on this? Christ Church Maldi Immersion School getting
a new home?
Speaker 12 (20:29):
Yeah, this is after a sixteen year battle with the
Ministry of Education. The school is called Tefano Tahi. It's
built on a site at Lyttleton Street that was a
former landfill. Teachers have reported leaky and maldi classrooms. The
school ranked low on the rebuild list after the earthquakes,
though a twenty twenty agreement to rebuild it was later scrapped.
(20:50):
The Kodako Pappa will now be shifting to the site
of the old Seven Oaks School in Harswille. The Ministry
says it's safer and more suitable there and who supports
the educational and cultural needs of the schools. A timeline
though for the move is yet to be confirmed.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
All right, how's you Webb?
Speaker 12 (21:06):
Mainly fine, There is a few showers about today. Southwesterly
is turning north easterly and the high will be fifteen.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Maxim Wellington Hamax, Good morning. Now you've got the Candala
murderer to appeal.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Yeah, this is Julia Delooney, the Candala daughter who was
convicted earlier this year of fatally bludgeoning her elderly mother,
Helen Gregory, at the latter's suburban home.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Deluoney had money.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Issues that had lost a lot of it investing in crypto.
Possibly was stealing from Gregory as well, we learned in
the trial, possibly wanted more money. The Post report She's
now lodged an appeal against her conviction and sentence. She's
hiring high profile lawyer Kerry Cook. Cook, you might recall,
has represented Scott Watson. She represented the gang member accused
(21:49):
of murdering Mellory Manning in christ Church. We had a
four week trial this year, dozens of witnesses, a fifty
four year old Deloney unsuccessfully arguing that someone else had
shown up at the house in this ninety minute window
when she wasn't there between her visiting mistaken identity, she argued,
the only thing working in her favor, but perhaps was
a lack of clear motive. Money was what the crown,
(22:11):
I argued clearly a refusal to accept her fate being
life imprisonment with a minimum eighteen years.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
All right, Max, how's your weather?
Speaker 4 (22:19):
She'll be fine this morning and then wet this afternoon,
strong winds sixteen the hay I didn't thank you.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Need it was an Aukland ne a, good morning, Good morning.
So we've got a lot of back and forth over
Garza and et cetera. But someone's thrown something into a
window at Winston Paiter's personal home.
Speaker 8 (22:35):
Yes, that's right, is Auckland House. So police they were
called to the address yesterday. Now the offender left the
scene wasn't able to be located, but in a social
media post Winston said, look, it's truly gut liss. He's
quite right. Glass apparently was shedded all over his dog
and there was a sign left on the front door.
Don't know what the sign said, but anyway, yeah I know.
(22:59):
But Christoph Luxen and obviously labor leader Chris Hipkins have
both come out that condemned the attack. And of course
this follows those protests outside Peter's home that was in
support of those on board the gars of flotilla. So
he had protests. You know, I was over the weekend
and then this incident happened.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
But yeah, we had Chloe condemning any of this year.
That's the question, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
That's the question.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yes, Normally I don't talk about It's like fight club.
I don't talk about what's on my other show this
morning while I'm on this show. But that we're starting
with Winston Peters and Chloe will follow him at seven
o'clock this morning.
Speaker 8 (23:31):
Oh that'll be good.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
That's on here all now. But yeah, very interesting to
see what happens, because there was also the woman who
was outside Winston's house who they then put in their
press conference yesterday outside his house telling of runners a
dress in this day and age. That's just stupid.
Speaker 8 (23:47):
It is stupid, isn't it quite right?
Speaker 2 (23:48):
How's our weather?
Speaker 8 (23:49):
Okay, we've got morning rain, could be heavy, otherwise isolated
showers later today and that will clear this evening. Still,
those strong winds though eighteen is a high here and
all clipt.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Brilliant thank you very much for that. It is Tuesday morning.
You're on news Talks B eighteen to six. If you
run a small business, and I know many of you do,
you know how annoying it is waiting to get paid.
You finish the job, you send the invoice, and then
you spend weeks chasing up people like some sort of
debt collective. Will Zero's tapped pay power by Stripe changes
all of this. Your customer taps their card on your phone. Boom,
(24:20):
You're paid on the spot. No fancy payment terminal needed,
just the Zero accounting app. And here's the really smart bit.
Once the payment goes through, the invoices automatically marks paid
and zero ready to be reconciled. That's less admin less
mucking around with the paperwork, more time running your actual business,
which is what you love doing. It's secure, it's instant,
keeps your cash flow moving instead of grinding to a
(24:42):
holt every month. Accept payments on the spot as soon
as the job's complete. No more awkward conversations about getting
that invoice to you later on. For small businesses, this
could genuinely be a game changer. Less time chasing late payments,
more time focusing on what you do best. Supercharge your
business with zero tap to pay getting paid. Just got
a whole lot easier search, zero tap.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
To pay, International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace
of mind for New Zealand business.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
We'll get to David Seymour's truancy campaign and a second
person into my own Australia on a good morning, Good
morning to you. Tell us about this defense treaty with PMNG.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
Well, it is a landmark mutual defense pact and it
could see troops deployed to PNG if it is attacked.
And we know that Anthony Albinezi, our Prime Minister, and
his Papua New Guinean counterpart, James Murrupi linked this landmark
packed in Canberra and they say that well, we heard
from both of them, of course. He said that it
(25:43):
was committing Australia to securing and shaping our future together.
The treaty elevates the relationship between the two nations to
the status of an alliance and it's the first such
agreement in more than seventy years and as we know,
only the third in Australia's history. The PM says it's
a great honor that our nearest neighbor is our newest
(26:03):
ally and of course mister Mrapi also echoed that sentiment. Interestingly,
there were a few extra words from the PM. Both
the nations have also agreed not to undertake any activities
or enter into any agreements that would compromise the implementation
of this treaty. Do you think that's a thinly veiled
nod too, referencing maybe China?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Possibly, Hey, very quickly, who's appealing against the sentence for
the mushroom killer? M okay?
Speaker 6 (26:32):
Prosecutors have today, oh sorry, yesterday lodged an appeal against
Aaron Patterson's sentence. Now we know she was sentenced to
life in prison with a non parole period of thirty
three years for killing three relatives with beef wellington laced
with death cap mushrooms, and there was the attempted murder
charge for a fourth and she was also found guilty there.
So last week Pattison's legal team announced it would appeal
(26:54):
her conviction. Now the grounds for that appeal have not
been outlined as yet, But then we heard from prosecutors
and they've lodged their appeal. It's been filed on the
basis that the sentence is considered manifestly inadequate by the prosecutor.
Prosecutors now we know that she was spared the harshest penalty,
which is life sentence, no parole. But as it stands,
(27:14):
she could be freed by twenty fifty six, when she'll
be eighty two years old.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
And I thank you done to my are Australia correspondent,
twelve minutes away from six Bryan Bridge, your on News
Talk said, be David Seymour's school attendance cracked down continues.
So he's scrapped the old contracts that they were operating
under and set tougher attendance targets one hundred and twenty
three million dollars extra over four years. Eighty three new
deals one hundred and seventy schools that get extra help
the chronic absentees. Three percent of funding will go to
(27:42):
basics like uniforms, devices, transport for kids who can't afford them.
Kathy Charmers is Green Meadows Intermediate Principle lead principle of
the Monday How Attendance Service with me now, Kathy, good morning,
good morning, So what's happened with your contract under this.
Speaker 9 (27:58):
Yes, so we've won a contract for Alphaston Tucknay catchment,
so we only applied for that part of Manuoa. So
that's the area that we'll be served. Yeah, so it's
a it's a good contract.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
These are the way that he's designed it, doing things
like instead of getting money based on how many students
you've got, but based on how many students you've got absent.
Are these smart things? Will these make a difference?
Speaker 9 (28:26):
I believe they will. I think that's a much fairer
way of distributing the resourcing. Our number of attendant services
that we will be able to get in our areas doubled.
Having said that, we also have taken on the non
enrolled contract as well, so that you know the number
of cases will be increasing as well and be a
(28:49):
little bit more complex.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
We know that by twenty thirty the goal is eighty
percent of students attending school more than ninety percent of
the time. What's your area at the moment? What are
where are you at? And do you think you can
get there?
Speaker 9 (29:02):
My school at the moments floats around sixty percent. I'd
like to think that we could get there, but it's
a pretty it's a pretty aspirational target to reach two aspects.
For that four days off in the winter turn when
it's you know, there's a lot of illness going around
in our area. That's a tricky one to meet the
(29:26):
ninety percent target. But also the chronic absences in our
area are usually at the root of them are really
really complex situations, and that's going to to be honest.
I think that also needs wrap around from other services,
not just the attendancy of this to make.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
That target, because those I didn't realize this three percent
of a school's allocation can be spent on stuff like
uniforms or transport. You know that if there are if
there are economic reasons of kids not attending school, we
can actually fix that.
Speaker 9 (30:02):
You can fix it short term, but you're not going
to be able to continue that funding long term. So
that would be where you would have to have another
avenue or hope that the parents would you know, it's
a kick start, I mean, certainly, I think that's a
really excellent part of the contract that we've got the
flexibility to do that, but there will be.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
You know, there's.
Speaker 9 (30:26):
Downsides to that as well, because what happens once that
funding for that child stops we can't continue to pay
that parents for the rest of their full time. So
one hopes that they get back to school and back
into a pattern of attendance, is what the hope is.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Kathy Chamers a charmer's forgiven me. Very great to have
you on the program. That's Green Meadows intermediate principle and
lead principle of the Monyado Attendance Service. It is eight
minutes away from six News Talk set big the news.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
You need this morning and the in depth analysis earlier
edition with Ryan bred Are the supersetor explore? Are these
accessories and servicing all in one news talks?
Speaker 2 (31:05):
They'd be fix to six News Talks. They'd be great
to have your company. The Hero's got an interesting one today.
It's about an old, beautiful building on the corner in
Mount Eden, and it's a debate about how high the
hedge can be because the locals who live in there,
the people who own the apartments, want privacy, so they
want a high hedge. But the people who walk past
want to see more of the beautiful building, so they
(31:28):
are now going to the dispute trophy you trying to
sort this out. Mike's in the studio, Good morning, Mike.
Speaker 13 (31:32):
It's the Body Corporate and that story, that story just
reminds me of everything that's wrong with this country. It's
bored people who've got nothing better to do.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
It don't if you don't own the building, you don't know,
you don't have a right none, look, no, no, no,
it's no.
Speaker 13 (31:48):
The story is about the corporate, the Body Corporate. So
the Body Corporate when they got consent, has the line
at zero point eight, so it it can't be any
more than eighty centimeters. So they're arguing, well, according to
the conceit, we've got to keep it at point eight.
She wants it, the owner of the ground floor apartment
wants it for privacy. Others want it slashed down. So
it's Mechaylia too. It's a nice it's a nice hedge,
(32:09):
the old mechaalea hedge.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
It's a nice hedge. It's a nice building.
Speaker 13 (32:12):
Having been in apartments and body corporates, I can tell you.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
I mean nightmare, shoot me now. But it's like, you know,
just in suburbs around Auckland, where they say the council
says you can't have a high fence because it just
doesn't just a street look pretty and it's like, well,
maybe if there wasn't so much crime, I wouldn't need
a high fence.
Speaker 13 (32:28):
Well, you go to a lot of towns round New Zealand,
fencing is not as fencing is an urban thing and
your walls are an urban thing. You know, there's an
industry in walls and security gates and cameras and all
that sort of stuff. You go to a lot of
provincial New Zealand you can still do like in the
house I grew up, your lorn ends at the footpath
and people can just wander and wouldn't that be a
nice way to live?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
But it's not. Who probably wants a big wall around
his head and he.
Speaker 13 (32:52):
Has he hasn't got one, and that's that's his problem.
He's got an unfortunate house. It's a pretty house, but
it's an unfortunate house because it's because it's an old
house and in the suburbans and it's right literally.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
On the street, and you can't get big fences because
it's a character area exactly. They won't let you.
Speaker 13 (33:08):
And so this is one of these things. We'll talk
to Grahame Michelor about it this morning. There's one of
those things where you can't do much about the law
unless you do a king hit type thing. You know
how they've done king hits. It's a separate charge or crime,
so it's actually hit, but they've delineated that aggravating and
I just because I mean that the damage you're doing
to a person's privacy and property vastly outweighs the crime
(33:30):
itself per se total. So therefore the police are going
to be going, well, look, I'm wasting the time because
this will never end up in court. So maybe you
need to look at something specific, which is, you know,
if you single out a public official and damage their property,
you get from stuck in jail for twenty seven years
and get tased.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
And I'd be all behind that the whole time. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
every year tase it exactly. Don't know when it's going
to come er, so I see surprise tasering have a
great day of run Stamo.
