Speaker 1 (00:01):
The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
Earliership with r VS Supercenter explore r V successories and
servicing more than one news talks.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
They'd be good morning Tuesday. It is six after five.
Great to have your company this morning. Coming up on
the program to party mart who's divorced. They've lost a
third of their caucus now lives, the Yeomens and Australia
for US, the Nazi protest that's dragging MPs down. Bank
profits will look at those and firearms changes coming out
today will tell you what they are likely to be
and not be. The agenda Tuesday the eleventh and November.
(00:35):
Finally some movement in Washington. The Senate's passed wait for it,
the first step towards ending the government shutdown, so not
quite there yet.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
If it does pass, it would bring back for a
lord Federal workers Fund, backpay for miss paychecks, and fully
restore SNAB food benefits, and the government would have the
money to operate at least through the end of January.
But it still has to pass both the Senate and
then the House before it becomes.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Across the Atlantic. The beebe Cross Trump now Trump City
will sue them here's the cheer apologizing sort of.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
That was the wrong call.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
It was a mistake.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 5 (01:09):
Yes, are you apologizing directly to President Trump personally on
behalf of the BBC.
Speaker 6 (01:15):
We have received communication from President Trump and and his
people and react mother considering how to apply to him.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
As he said that he's going to be suing the BBC.
Speaker 6 (01:25):
I do not know that yet, but he's a religious fellow,
so you should be prepared for all all outcomes.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Maybe you should have been too, Director General, Head of News.
They both quit.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
I stepped down over the weekend because the box stops
with me.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
But I'd like to make one thing very clear.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
BBC News is not institutionally biased. That's why it's the
world's most trusted news provider.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Mmmm. That's a bit of a clanger on a day
like this, isn't it now? Psychosey, Remember we told you
a few weeks back that he had gone to prison
five years sentence. He's meant to be soon, and he's
got bodyguards in the cells next to him to protect
him because he's so precious. Apparently he's also only eating yogurt.
He's worried someone will spit in his food. Anyway, he's out.
(02:10):
He's out after just a few weeks. The Paris court
has let him go under supervision while he appeals.
Speaker 7 (02:16):
What the judge used was a provision called the execution
provisois as it's known in France, and usually in most cases,
it's used when the accused is potentially a flight risk
or is at risk of reoffending, maybe even kind of
there are chances that they may mass with the investigation.
Now lawyers are arguing that none of these really apply
(02:36):
to Sarkozy.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Ryan Bridge on early edition with r V supersetor explore
r v's accessories and servicing all in one news talks.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
It'd be nine after five Keen to hear your thoughts
on bank profits this morning? Nine nine two the number
to text very quickly on psarcozy because he with the cameras.
The French media have followed his car being driven from
the prison to his apartment in West Paris and it's
just been fascinating to watch that this morning. They've had
cameras in the sky on the ground tracking the zevery movement.
(03:10):
And the big question is whether he's going to have
to wear an ankle bracelet. You know it's a former president,
not a great look, but apparently he doesn't because of
the judicial supervision. That's what he's technically been released on
the appeals in March, so he's out. He can't leave France.
He can eat more than yogat now that he's out
(03:31):
of prison, but he doesn't have to wear an ankle bracelet,
so he's happy about that apparently this morning. Now with
the bank profits, I sort of feel like this story
is to choose your own adventure. There's no one answer
that's clear in crystal and everyone can understand and have
a very strong view on. It's quite a nuanced story.
I know, sounds boring. Here we go, so A and Z.
(03:54):
Obviously big bank seventy percent of their business as home loans.
They are the biggest home loan lender in the country,
so we care about them, right, And the number that
came out yesterday was a new record. It was a
profit jump four hundred and forty one million dollars or
twenty one percent to two point five billion. And you go, wow, gee,
that's a massive number. That's terrible. Let's take them to task. Now,
(04:19):
what are you comparing. It's a big business. You can't
just say a number like that and then go evil.
So you look at their margins and a lot of
people are focusing on the margins compared to Australia. So
if you look at their New Zealand business, two point
six percent is their interest margin. The A and Z
(04:40):
New Zealand net interest margin tops the one point eight
to three percent for A and z's Australian retail unit.
And you go, well, that's terrible. One point eight percent
margin over in Australia two point six percent in New Zealand.
What evil horrible people. And then you listen to them
a little bit more and they say, well, actually, you're
(05:02):
not comparing apples with apples here, so you need to
compare Australia's similar unit, which is retail business private business. Overall,
their net interest margin is twenty one basis points below
New Zealand's. So okay, well, how do you explain that gap?
They say, that's your capital requirement, so there is no difference.
(05:25):
They have to keep more capital here in New Zealand
and that costs something, right, So that what their argument is,
when you're comparing apples with apples, there is no difference
in the margin on the same product. And this is
where you get into trouble because you have one side
saying they're evil and they're an empire and they're ripping
(05:45):
us off. And then you have a sort of reasoned
argument and clear Matthews from Massive University, who I consider well,
she is a banking expert, but she's also impartial on
this stuff. She says, actually, you know, a good bank
is a profitable showing Bill Jacom on that just after
five twenty this morning. It's twelve after now Bryan Bridge
(06:07):
Talks said b Nicole McKee is going to make some
announcements today about firearms. Will hear what they're likely to
be next?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
The first word on the News of the Day Early
edition with Bryan Bridge and r V Supercenter explore RV's
accessories and servicing.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
More than one News talks ab i've fourteen. The markets
are liking the fact that the shutdown looks like it
could be coming to a close. We're not even quite
there yet, but the Senate, it's kind of slipped through
the Senate, it goes back to the House. Now s
and p up and a Nasdaq up one and one
point eight percent, respectively. Foots one hundred over in London. Well,
that is a whisker shy of hitting a new all
(06:45):
time records in early trading there that sorry, in trading
that was earlier this morning time, now I was quarter
past five. The other thing we're going to get out
of the shutdown, hopefully coming to an end, is a
flurry of economic data, which we love on this program.
So we're likely to get because all the bureaucrats will
be coming back and the statisticians will be coming back,
(07:06):
and so we'll actually have information that the markets can
chew through, and there'll be a lot of it in
the coming days. Quarter past five, Bread Red Shoveman today
here back home will announce plans what to do about
the guns. Nicole McKey is set to lay out her
rewriting of the Arms Act. But what changes do the
gun lobbyists hope come through for them. Hugh Devereux mack
(07:27):
is with US Counsel of Licensed Firearms on a spokespersonsh you,
good morning, Good morning, Ryan. You've just been at a conference.
Nicole McKee was speaking there. Did she give you any
clues about what they might be doing?
Speaker 8 (07:40):
Yeah, they gave us to see a few sort of
heads up as to what license fims owners should expect
from the law. But I wouldn't want to steal aways
the Minister's sunder. I think later on today she may
be speaking, but I can tell you what we are
hoping to hear from. We don't have any details actually
as to what's in it yet, but I can tell
you what license firearms does, and it's a hoping for
it helps.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah, let's start with the non criminal activities thing. What's
that about.
Speaker 8 (08:05):
Yeah, so there's a couple of things that we'd like
to see involved in there. License firearms owners have been
losing firem's licensees for non criminal activities and so the
reason that comes about is because the current Act lacks
really clear definitions, including what constitutes a fit and proper person,
which is well what we're judged to be. That comes
(08:26):
from section twenty four A to two C of the
Arms Act, which says when a finning or giving a
firearms license, they have to consider it quote any other
relevant matters the member of police considers appropriate. Now that's
a vague catchel because it's been used for people who
have had maybe a negative experience with an X. We've
had people have them because of medical reasons that are
(08:48):
beyond their control. An individual had his license canceled because
he had cancer and then had a seizure. It has
nothing to do with his safety around firearms, but as
a result of that, he had his license taken off
them and his acts to hunting and putting food on
the table restricted. So a clear definition of what fit
and proper means with a clear checklist, so we all
know objectively what rules we have to live by. I
(09:11):
think is a really good and fundamental principle for the
New Arms Acts. So that would be one of.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Them, right, Okay, And so you're saying anything out that,
what about mental illness? I mean, if you've been if
you've had mental illness, should you be owning a gun?
Speaker 6 (09:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (09:24):
So mental illness is a really really vague and wide term.
Speaker 9 (09:28):
Right.
Speaker 8 (09:28):
We've had people who lose their firem's license for showing anxiety. Now,
one of the best things you can do for curing
or helping with anxieties getting out into the wide world
and hunting with your friends safely, of course, but.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
All nutbars having guns?
Speaker 10 (09:43):
Do you?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I mean, how do you?
Speaker 8 (09:44):
Absolutely so?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
How do you stop that?
Speaker 8 (09:47):
So the way you stop that is some great work
is being done with both the firem Safety Authority and
a group called Mental Hunts, which is helping men and
firearms owners get better access to mental health and finding
the way that they can have their license temporarily taken
off them while they get the help they need, and
once they're signed off by a psychologist, they can get
their license back again. That's currently how the system should work, right. Unfortunately,
(10:12):
sometimes it gets a little bit vague and a little
bit over the top, and we understand that need to
err on the side of caution, but the police are
not psychologists. Once a psychologist area has signed off and
said you are okay and no longer a danger to
yourself or others, then that's when the police should say, look,
the doctors and the professionals have said you can have it.
It's not our job to stand in your way. But
(10:33):
unfortunately at this point they are still doing that.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
All right, you appreciate your time this morning. Hu deverro
Matt counts of licensed firearms and a spokesperson will hear
from the Cole mcke ladder today eighteen after five Ryan
Bred lying on the bank profits being up again. I
suspect the government actually is probably underneath it. All quite
glad about this, says Craig, because if a bank is
making more profits, then they are paying more tax and
taxes what they get. The other thing about A and
(10:56):
Z is there the other argument they're making is it's
not just like our profits have gone up out of nowhere.
We're getting squeezing more juice out of the existing lemon.
Their book has gone up. They are you know, it
would be the equivalent of a supermarket selling more stuff
and then making more money and you saying, well that's wrong.
(11:18):
I mean that's business. Nineteen after five.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Brian
Bridge and are the supercenter explore r these accessories and
servicing all in one? News talk set me five twenty one.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Well look at Sparty Marti before six right now, though
it's a bank profit watch time. An Z's up twenty
percent two and a half billion last week, Westpac thirteen percent,
increased to one point one billion. Shimo Jakob is Simplicity
chief economist with us this morning. Shama, good morning, good one.
Are you buying the lines that are coming out of
Antonio Watson's mouth? Are you buying the lines from the banks,
(11:54):
the net interest margin is up well slightly, but when
you compare Apple with Apples with Australia or their Australia business,
actually the difference is explained by capital requirements here.
Speaker 10 (12:08):
Not really, because that net interest margin has been higher
than Australia for a very long time. And the reason
why that's high is because they pairs less on own
deposits and charges more on our mortgages.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
If you look through the results for A and Z,
their cash profits up by four percent, which is the
same amount they've grown their balance sheet by.
Speaker 10 (12:32):
Exactly, so it's very much a story, but their net
interest margins being pretty much the same. A small increase,
but it's really been that modest growth in lending and
deposits that's driving their profits. Is that aband thing, Well,
the bad thing is how much they charge us. So
we want our banks to be profitable and safe, but
(12:53):
not the charge is an unreasonable amount. That was the
reason why we have the the hearing that the club
with the statu That's why the Commerce Commission was meant
to look at it. We need to get serious about
banking competition in New Zealand. The problem for us is
that we have a banking sector that's extraordinarily safe, extraordinarily profitable,
not particularly innovative, and we don't get products and services.
(13:16):
Why are we paying so much for so little?
Speaker 2 (13:19):
How much more are we paying than the rest of
the world.
Speaker 10 (13:23):
Much higher and so, as you know, when the Commerce
Commission did that work, there was quite a lot of
argument around those metrics. But the reality is that the
New Zealand banking sector is one of the most profitable
in the ovciting and it is not one of the
most innovative. And the reality is that if we want
to if you are to pay higher prices, we should
(13:43):
get something in return for it, and we are not.
So we need to get serious about having much sharper
teeth at the next inquiry of the banking sector. The
current one is not doing enough.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Everyone goes on about competition. We've got twenty seven registered
banks in New Zealand. How many would make good competition.
Speaker 10 (14:00):
Well, it's not the apples for apples, because when you
look at building societies and others, those banks are regulated
very differently. They have very small bound sheets and they're
not particularly well performing. So we do need to have
the kinds of fintech tech companies that are being real
challenges in Europe in particular. I think that's the kind
of competition we need to see in quite a big way.
(14:22):
In New Zealand. We've got the beginnings of that with
things like open banking. That's only the beginning and we
need to really push ahead on that because clearly New
Zealand is a sector where financial services can do very well.
Why should not New Zealanders also receive good products and
services at the same time.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
UMU always interesting, appreciate your time and Jakobs simplicity Chief
Economists time is twenty four minutes half five year. On
News TALKSB, I need to take you to Peel Peel next.
I know it's a small place, something very important is
going down there. News Talk SEB the early.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Edition full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Talks AB.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Twenty seven after five yews Talk ZIB. A few years ago,
we had a bunch of stories about Santa parades getting
canceled because of red tape and traffic management, all sorts
of horrible stuff. NZTA was the Grinch that stole Christmas?
Do you remember this? Guess what? Two years on, despite
a change of government, despite a Minister and Ministry of Regulation.
Despite the road cone tip line, the Grinch is back.
(15:22):
This is one of those stories. It's kind of like
the working from home in the public service, you know,
one of these stories where the government's almost powerless and
the bureaucrats win. This time, it's Peel Pure population around
five hundred. It's rural State Highway three, North Island. They
want to close the road on the main drag, which
is their usual route. They want to close this road
(15:44):
from five point thirty pm to eight pm, two and
a half hours for you know, kids get to see
the Santa Sleigh riding through town. Lollies presumably would be
thrown from the floats, or do they still do that
if you had a child and you arrest are don't know.
I agree, but you get the idea. We've all been
to one. They're great fun. Guess how much it was
(16:04):
going to cost them because of the Grinch's traffic rules
and the resulting bill for traffic management costs. It would
normally put them back about one thousand dollars this year,
wait for it, between ten and fourteen thousand dollars for
two and a half hours. Now you might balk at
that and I did. If you're organizing a Sanda parad
(16:26):
or an Anzac parade or a community event, don't worry.
The NZTA website has a helpful guide for you. It's
New Zealand's Guide to Temporary Traffic Management. It's eighty eight
pages long. I read it last night. Well, no, I didn't.
I read the first page and I thought, this is
absolute nonsense. The only thing you need to read is
the first sentence of the foreword. Yes there's a fore word. Wakakotahi.
(16:49):
New Zealand Transport Agency is committed to Road to zero,
a safe for altro in New Zealand where no one
is killed or injured on our roads. I hate to
be the bearer of bad news, but this is an
absolute pipe dream of the goal and will never happen.
Aiming for the outcome is mad. What you get as
a result is eighty eight pages of BS and a
(17:09):
fourteen thousand dollar bill to get Santa on a sleigh
for two hours. It's madness, and it continues. The organizers
don't worry. They say they have a Christmas meet and greet,
but no actual parade. Christmas is the season to be jolly.
It is the season forgiving and NZTA is giving grinch
vibes and bad attitude in my view. Twenty nine after
(17:31):
five Newstalk z MB, it's a party Mardi before six
to be bargain.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with
Ryan Bridge and are the Supercenter explore these accessories and
servicing all in one news talk, said bond.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Away from the sexer on news to it Zibe coming
up the four six ewer reaction to the Tapati maldis
split and we'll here to Australia where this Nazi protest
is well. I mean it was narali to begin with.
It's a Nazi protest, but it's getting more nari by
the day. Hey, lots of your texts coming in this
morning on pulpiol and INZTA right because there now it's
(18:21):
not the NZTA that's charging the Santa Parade ten to
fourteen thousand dollars to traffic management, meaning the parade can
no longer go ahead. It's ZTA saying this is what
needs you know, these are the rules, and then the
traffic management company that you hire, this is how much
it costs implement them to keep everybody safe and to
take a risk based approach, whatever that is. But many
(18:45):
of you have got better ideas. Frankly, Ryan Inzta and
pure Piole. This is why the country's broke bureaucrat's adding
no value in writing ad eight page documents, says Nancy, Yeah, Nancy.
The other thing is Rotor zero was meant to be
canceled after the LAS government left office, So why is
this document even online? Anyway, here is the good stuff.
Ryan Wypoo's bill for the Santa parade two years ago
(19:08):
was going to be five grand, So the locals suggested,
maybe we put a tractor at each end of the
center of the town center. Great idea, Another says Ryan.
Does nz TA charge protesters these prices? No, So what
another Texter has suggested is don't call it a Christmas parade,
call it a Christmas protest. You get yourself a free
(19:30):
police escort.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Ryan Bridge, twenty.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Two minutes away from Sex News Talk SEB. Now let's
go to our reporters around the country, and we start
with Cullum. Cullum, good morning, Hey, right, and good to
have you on the show this morning.
Speaker 11 (19:43):
What are we talking about, Well, an ancient fossil has
been named in honor of a renowned paleontologist here from
Otaga University.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
So this is a big honor.
Speaker 11 (19:52):
The fifty million year old bill fish fossils been named
after the late Professor u and Fordyce here ford Ice
was a vertebrate paleon hologistic inspired generations of young researchers
in his forty year long career at Otago's Department of Geology.
The fossil was one of two billfish skulls found here
in Otago. This is a large predatory fish similar to
(20:13):
a swordfish. Doctor Seborne Rust has told us that Professor
Fordyce brought the subject to life and he was a
guiding mentor for many budding palaeontologists.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Very cool. How's your weather comem.
Speaker 11 (20:24):
Cloudy periods, showers early in the staff to earn the
high eighteen.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Thank you Claire's and christ Church this morning. Morning, Claire,
good morning. Now I'll get to the weather because it's
racing day to day. But first the housing growth in
christ Church. We've got a government plan.
Speaker 12 (20:36):
Yeah, well a government update. This feels like the story
that's just gone on and on and on the government
wanting to put some housing intensification rules around christ Church
as well as elsewhere in the country. But christ Church
has been very much against this from the get go.
The bid from city Council to opt out of this
city wide intensification has now been accepted, effectively sparing us
(20:58):
from the entire area of christ Church being intensified. RMA
Reform Minister Chris Bishops accepted it, saying that instead it
will be limited to certain areas that includes the city center,
but also some of our key suburbs like Church Corner, Rickitton,
Hornby Lynnwood, Shirley, Merivale, Edgeware and Papa Neui. It will
mean overall around a quarter of the city is subject
(21:20):
to this higher density. Mayor Phil Major says he's over
the moon and it does mean that christ Church Is
momentum can continue.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
And weather today well it's meant to be.
Speaker 12 (21:30):
Mainly fine eventually, but for now it's raining and very
windy out there. We will also get some cloud increasing
link this afternoon southwesterly strong turning northeasterly the high.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Nineteen after the Lindau breakfast. Will anyone really notice clear?
Thank you Max and Wellington, Max, good morning, good morning.
Now I see the words Tory, Infarno and shindig and
hang on and Bill, you must be excited, hurt yourselves done.
Speaker 13 (21:57):
She may be gone that she keeps on giving you. Recall,
of course, the official portrait of the former mayor that,
of course, didn't need to be painted, the more than
seven thousand dollar painting that defied a council directive that
official mayal portrait should.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Instead be the cheaper option of photography.
Speaker 13 (22:13):
While the post revealing this morning that not only did
that happen, but Tory Fano's office then also spent more
than one thousand dollars on food and alcohol for a
private unveiling to friends and family. You're talking gourmet cannape's,
bite sized potato and corned beef gallettes, three hundred bucks
for beer and wine. Clearly, at this point, Miss Faro
was already one fed out. The door also released internal
(22:34):
emails that show Faro pushed very hard for a portrait
to be done and personally selected the artist. Subsequently, senior
council officials then went into scramble mode to discover why
the photography directive was ignored concern of a media fallout,
an insight of course, into how pr hacks determined what
the official line of messaging should be and they settled
(22:55):
upon it was a quote misunderstanding by Kaimahi. Or Stuff
would later tell media herself that she only felt it
important to support a local artist.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
I feel sick, Max, I feel sick. So the thousand
dollars of food and alcohol, this was a private unveiling
that just direct No, okay, So no one from the
council was there, No other council is just her friends
and family.
Speaker 13 (23:18):
It seemed it remained a secret up until that point.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yeah, God, all right, how's your weather.
Speaker 13 (23:23):
Cloudy with some morning showers? Seventeen the Hey, thanks.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Max and Neiva's an orcand morning needs good morning Now.
Auckland Council cracking down on fly tipping.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
That was right.
Speaker 14 (23:33):
Look, what's happened is that this data, fresh data shows
more than two thousand tons of waste is illegally dubbed
every year and that figure is on the rise. So
in the past financial year the council gave out almost
six hundred fines that's up to four hundred dollars each,
So that's nearly double the amount issued the year before.
And the Auckland Council is saying that much of that
(23:54):
household rubbish we find dumped could have gone into recycling
or food script bins if it had been sorted. But
that's the problem, isn't it. People don't want to sort
those kinds of things out.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
People nobody got time for that. How's our weather?
Speaker 14 (24:05):
Neiva, Okay, cloudy, few shells, but it's going to be fine,
clearing to fine weather this afternoon. Twenty one is high
here in Auckland, brilliant.
Speaker 2 (24:12):

He's passed away. Leslie Yeomans is our Australia correspondent. She's
with us live next News talksb It is quartered to
six very quickly. One billion dollars. That's how much Trump
is wanting in damages from the BBC for their documentary
and to be fair, the Panorama documentary that all of
this kicked, all of this off, came out just before
(24:56):
the election. It was designed to well, not influence, but
paint a picture of him before the election, and they
didn't identify the jump cuts in the story. So anyway,
he's now saying he wants a billion dollars from them.
It's fourteen minute. This will continue, It'll be the gift
that keeps on giving, much like Torrifino and Max fourteen
away from.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Six International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of
mind for New Zealand business.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Leslie Yeomens is our Australia correspondent. Leslie, Good morning morning Ryan.
Now what's going on? So we had this big protest,
the neo Nazi rally outside of the New South Wales
Parliament at the weekend and now two female MPs have
referred threats that they've received at police.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Yes, they were death threats and threats of rape and
other horrible things against them. The two MPs are a
Legraspender who is a federal MP, and Kelly Sloan, the
State MP. Both MPs representing people in Sydney and around Sydney.
Now at the weekend and they were about just under
(26:02):
one hundred people who neo Nats had a Neo Nazi
rally outside the State Parliament and they were members of
the National Socialist Network. Then on Sunday, after miss Bender
and Sloan had spoken out about this rally, they ended
up getting all these terrible threats against them. Now they've
(26:26):
referred those threats to the police and even the new
New South Wales Police Commissioner Lanyon, he's actually looking into
why the protest was given the green light by by
senior police command.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
It seemed to be odd, what's the why would they
targeted for by the group.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Demino because they were the most prominent speaking out about
it and also criticizing police about allowing and the state
government for allowing this to go ahead. The state government
had said that the police had said rather that there
was no threat to the to the public, so that's
(27:02):
one of the reasons why it was allowed to go ahead.
But then they've come out and said that they've had
all these threats on social media and they need to
be looked into.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Now John Laws, some might know him, is the man
with the Golden tonsils has died at the age of ninety.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Yes, the Golden Tonsils and the golden microphone. He was
ninety died. Died at the weekend, seven decades a career.
He started his career back in nineteen fifty three in
Bendigo in Country Victoria and just became this powerhouse in
the broadcasting industry.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
Here.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Yes, a state funeral has been offered by the New
South Wales Premier Chris Men's. He said he hasn't had
an opportunity to actually speak to the family yet to
see what their plans are, but that's what's been offered
by the New South Wales government.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Appreciate your time. That is Leslie Yeomans with US Australia correspondent.
Twelve minutes away from six. He lived straw Laws did
to Russell Crowe for twenty years and because he had
a farm in rural New South Wales, lived next door
to Russell crow. Russell Crowe said he worked hard, played
harder and loved completely. A legend in the very best
most Australian sense of the word. I loved him and
(28:14):
I'll never forget him. It is now eleven minutes away
from six. Kakati Mardi is imploding. It'll be no surprise
to you, given what's happened over the last month.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
This decision was not taken lately. Many hope the end
would be reconciliation. It could not be achieved. We acknowledge
the mummy our people have built, and we think our
National Council for upholding our color and the best interests
of our movement throughout the.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Helmet Modlick is well. By the way Ferris and Kapa
king He now become independents and they say that they
will fight this. We'll see where that goes. Helmet Modlick
is Nat toy E chief executive with me this morning.
Good morning, Maudena, Good to have you on the show.
What is your I mean, obviously it's not a great
look for to party Mardi. But what happens with the
Maldi electric vote now do you think?
Speaker 9 (29:06):
Yeah, well, that would depend on what plays out over
the next probably the next six months or so. It's
hard to state how bitterly disappointing it is for the
married community to see the dynamic that's played out so
publicly and resulting in this fractious outcome.
Speaker 15 (29:23):
Yeah, hard's overstate it.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Do you know what exactly? You know that Ferris and
Coupa King have actually done.
Speaker 6 (29:32):
Well.
Speaker 9 (29:32):
I think it's fair to say that the actions and
conversations that have gone on initially behind the scenes and
then more recently and all two public ways, online as
well as over the media, has really been a combination
of small and not so small actions that have just
irritated each I thought about it, it seems to be
(29:57):
pretty orthodox sort of personality power politics type ego actions
the common.
Speaker 15 (30:04):
Well, that's always you're going to have a serious ego
if you're going to be in politics, and and it's
it seems parallel pretty similarly the sorts of things we
should play out in other parties at this At this
stage though in the.
Speaker 9 (30:18):
Electoral cycle, and given the strategic issues and play for
to party Maori and the progressive side of the political spectrum,
it's it's serious helmet.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Does Labor went out of this?
Speaker 9 (30:30):
You know?
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Do we get Maori voters on the Maori role going
back to Labor?
Speaker 9 (30:35):
That's that's clearly got to be one of strategic options.
And that's so I say, it depends on what plays
out over the sixty nine months. The you know, the
there's no point when in a battle if you lose
the war, and the war at this point in time
is seen the Coalition and it's egregious attacks on the
(30:58):
Murray community and over the last couple of years seeing
them removed from office. There's the war and this battle
that's playing out into party. Maldi has been decidedly unhelpful
in winning that battle that war.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Sorry, helmet model. Appreciate your time this morning, Art Toya
Earwchief Executive Time is eight minutes away from six News
Talks ATB Views and.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Views you Trust to start your day. It's earlier this
ship with Bryan Bridge and r V Supercenter explore RV's
accessories and servicing. Fall and one News Talks at B.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Six to six on your Tuesday morning. There was talk
of maybe a winter election, going back to the polls
in Canada, it's not going to have to happen. Carne
there has a minority government and he was trying to
get his budget through and he had one hundred and
sixty nine seats and he was three short, and some
conservatives have come to save the day, so budgets passed.
That's all fine. But what they're doing, because Trump's tariffs
(31:53):
are hitting them hard, what they're doing is doubling the
deficit to seventy eight point three billion in Canadian dollars,
doubling the deficit five minutes away from Sex, Cray and Bridge,
which they say is you know, a pro investment, pro
growth thing. Mike's all. That's now morning, Mike, greetings to you.
Now who signed? Are you on Trump getting his billion
(32:14):
dollars from BBC or BBC saying actually, we're not biased
at all. Nothing to see.
Speaker 16 (32:20):
Oh, I don't think they're going to went on that one.
I don't think the I was thinking about it yesterday.
Public broadcaster is all over the world. I sided funnily
enough with the Prime Minister yesterday. If you read the report,
you know, the book Camp report that came out on
Friday didn't get enough coverage because it came out Friday. Anyway,
Radio New Zealand ran a headline saying that conclusion was
it was rushed, yes, which is simply not true because
(32:42):
I read the report and it depends on what you
call a conclusion or an observation. So there wasn't a conclusion.
There were lots of observations.
Speaker 6 (32:50):
Yes.
Speaker 16 (32:51):
One of the observations was it was put together a
bit quickly, but there were lots of those observations, so
why would you pick the singular one to make it
a headline.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
It isn't the overall issue that you have. You should
I mean, there will always be biased in news.
Speaker 16 (33:06):
I've always said that they will always be honest about it.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Well, I agree, So so why don't we just say
you have one side represented over there, you have another represented.
Do whatever you like and listen to what you want
to do whatever you like.
Speaker 16 (33:18):
And that's the problem has come about because there are
people who still argue that they're down the middle, which
is simply laughable. True and it's never been true. And
all that happened during COVID and all the ensuing years
is that that got exposed badly. Yes, the reputation has
been permanently damaged.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Lost the room.
Speaker 16 (33:36):
There is no way back, as simple as that.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
You know, Good luck everybody.
Speaker 16 (33:40):
Antonia Watson, by the way, Antonio Watson, who runs the
bank the afore mentioned that you were talking about this morning,
child must be hard work defending success, isn't. It's a weird,
slightly weird thing, is you know, you're really success?
Speaker 2 (33:52):
We can but they're doing are they ripping us off?
Or are they just doing more business.
Speaker 16 (33:56):
They're not. They can't rip us off because you don't
have to do business with the day.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
These were a monopoly sure, twenty seven banks, but they're
not anyway. Shues with this way all right, looking forward
to it. Mike's with you next, have a fantastic day.

They'd be good morning Tuesday. It is six after five.
Great to have your company this morning. Coming up on
the program to party mart who's divorced. They've lost a
third of their caucus now lives, the Yeomens and Australia
for US, the Nazi protest that's dragging MPs down. Bank
profits will look at those and firearms changes coming out
today will tell you what they are likely to be
and not be. The agenda Tuesday the eleventh and November.
(00:35):
Finally some movement in Washington. The Senate's passed wait for it,
the first step towards ending the government shutdown, so not
quite there yet.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
If it does pass, it would bring back for a
lord Federal workers Fund, backpay for miss paychecks, and fully
restore SNAB food benefits, and the government would have the
money to operate at least through the end of January.
But it still has to pass both the Senate and
then the House before it becomes.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Across the Atlantic. The beebe Cross Trump now Trump City
will sue them here's the cheer apologizing sort of.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
That was the wrong call.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
It was a mistake.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 5 (01:09):
Yes, are you apologizing directly to President Trump personally on
behalf of the BBC.
Speaker 6 (01:15):
We have received communication from President Trump and and his
people and react mother considering how to apply to him.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
As he said that he's going to be suing the BBC.
Speaker 6 (01:25):
I do not know that yet, but he's a religious fellow,
so you should be prepared for all all outcomes.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Maybe you should have been too, Director General, Head of News.
They both quit.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
I stepped down over the weekend because the box stops
with me.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
But I'd like to make one thing very clear.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
BBC News is not institutionally biased. That's why it's the
world's most trusted news provider.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Mmmm. That's a bit of a clanger on a day
like this, isn't it now? Psychosey, Remember we told you
a few weeks back that he had gone to prison
five years sentence. He's meant to be soon, and he's
got bodyguards in the cells next to him to protect
him because he's so precious. Apparently he's also only eating yogurt.
He's worried someone will spit in his food. Anyway, he's out.
(02:10):
He's out after just a few weeks. The Paris court
has let him go under supervision while he appeals.
Speaker 7 (02:16):
What the judge used was a provision called the execution
provisois as it's known in France, and usually in most cases,
it's used when the accused is potentially a flight risk
or is at risk of reoffending, maybe even kind of
there are chances that they may mass with the investigation.
Now lawyers are arguing that none of these really apply
(02:36):
to Sarkozy.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Ryan Bridge on early edition with r V supersetor explore
r v's accessories and servicing all in one news talks.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
It'd be nine after five Keen to hear your thoughts
on bank profits this morning? Nine nine two the number
to text very quickly on psarcozy because he with the cameras.
The French media have followed his car being driven from
the prison to his apartment in West Paris and it's
just been fascinating to watch that this morning. They've had
cameras in the sky on the ground tracking the zevery movement.
(03:10):
And the big question is whether he's going to have
to wear an ankle bracelet. You know it's a former president,
not a great look, but apparently he doesn't because of
the judicial supervision. That's what he's technically been released on
the appeals in March, so he's out. He can't leave France.
He can eat more than yogat now that he's out
(03:31):
of prison, but he doesn't have to wear an ankle bracelet,
so he's happy about that apparently this morning. Now with
the bank profits, I sort of feel like this story
is to choose your own adventure. There's no one answer
that's clear in crystal and everyone can understand and have
a very strong view on. It's quite a nuanced story.
I know, sounds boring. Here we go, so A and Z.
(03:54):
Obviously big bank seventy percent of their business as home loans.
They are the biggest home loan lender in the country,
so we care about them, right, And the number that
came out yesterday was a new record. It was a
profit jump four hundred and forty one million dollars or
twenty one percent to two point five billion. And you go, wow, gee,
that's a massive number. That's terrible. Let's take them to task. Now,
(04:19):
what are you comparing. It's a big business. You can't
just say a number like that and then go evil.
So you look at their margins and a lot of
people are focusing on the margins compared to Australia. So
if you look at their New Zealand business, two point
six percent is their interest margin. The A and Z
(04:40):
New Zealand net interest margin tops the one point eight
to three percent for A and z's Australian retail unit.
And you go, well, that's terrible. One point eight percent
margin over in Australia two point six percent in New Zealand.
What evil horrible people. And then you listen to them
a little bit more and they say, well, actually, you're
(05:02):
not comparing apples with apples here, so you need to
compare Australia's similar unit, which is retail business private business. Overall,
their net interest margin is twenty one basis points below
New Zealand's. So okay, well, how do you explain that gap?
They say, that's your capital requirement, so there is no difference.
(05:25):
They have to keep more capital here in New Zealand
and that costs something, right, So that what their argument is,
when you're comparing apples with apples, there is no difference
in the margin on the same product. And this is
where you get into trouble because you have one side
saying they're evil and they're an empire and they're ripping
(05:45):
us off. And then you have a sort of reasoned
argument and clear Matthews from Massive University, who I consider well,
she is a banking expert, but she's also impartial on
this stuff. She says, actually, you know, a good bank
is a profitable showing Bill Jacom on that just after
five twenty this morning. It's twelve after now Bryan Bridge
(06:07):
Talks said b Nicole McKee is going to make some
announcements today about firearms. Will hear what they're likely to
be next?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
The first word on the News of the Day Early
edition with Bryan Bridge and r V Supercenter explore RV's
accessories and servicing.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
More than one News talks ab i've fourteen. The markets
are liking the fact that the shutdown looks like it
could be coming to a close. We're not even quite
there yet, but the Senate, it's kind of slipped through
the Senate, it goes back to the House. Now s
and p up and a Nasdaq up one and one
point eight percent, respectively. Foots one hundred over in London. Well,
that is a whisker shy of hitting a new all
(06:45):
time records in early trading there that sorry, in trading
that was earlier this morning time, now I was quarter
past five. The other thing we're going to get out
of the shutdown, hopefully coming to an end, is a
flurry of economic data, which we love on this program.
So we're likely to get because all the bureaucrats will
be coming back and the statisticians will be coming back,
(07:06):
and so we'll actually have information that the markets can
chew through, and there'll be a lot of it in
the coming days. Quarter past five, Bread Red Shoveman today
here back home will announce plans what to do about
the guns. Nicole McKey is set to lay out her
rewriting of the Arms Act. But what changes do the
gun lobbyists hope come through for them. Hugh Devereux mack
(07:27):
is with US Counsel of Licensed Firearms on a spokespersonsh you,
good morning, Good morning, Ryan. You've just been at a conference.
Nicole McKee was speaking there. Did she give you any
clues about what they might be doing?
Speaker 8 (07:40):
Yeah, they gave us to see a few sort of
heads up as to what license fims owners should expect
from the law. But I wouldn't want to steal aways
the Minister's sunder. I think later on today she may
be speaking, but I can tell you what we are
hoping to hear from. We don't have any details actually
as to what's in it yet, but I can tell
you what license firearms does, and it's a hoping for
it helps.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah, let's start with the non criminal activities thing. What's
that about.
Speaker 8 (08:05):
Yeah, so there's a couple of things that we'd like
to see involved in there. License firearms owners have been
losing firem's licensees for non criminal activities and so the
reason that comes about is because the current Act lacks
really clear definitions, including what constitutes a fit and proper person,
which is well what we're judged to be. That comes
(08:26):
from section twenty four A to two C of the
Arms Act, which says when a finning or giving a
firearms license, they have to consider it quote any other
relevant matters the member of police considers appropriate. Now that's
a vague catchel because it's been used for people who
have had maybe a negative experience with an X. We've
had people have them because of medical reasons that are
(08:48):
beyond their control. An individual had his license canceled because
he had cancer and then had a seizure. It has
nothing to do with his safety around firearms, but as
a result of that, he had his license taken off
them and his acts to hunting and putting food on
the table restricted. So a clear definition of what fit
and proper means with a clear checklist, so we all
know objectively what rules we have to live by. I
(09:11):
think is a really good and fundamental principle for the
New Arms Acts. So that would be one of.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Them, right, Okay, And so you're saying anything out that,
what about mental illness? I mean, if you've been if
you've had mental illness, should you be owning a gun?
Speaker 6 (09:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (09:24):
So mental illness is a really really vague and wide term.
Speaker 9 (09:28):
Right.
Speaker 8 (09:28):
We've had people who lose their firem's license for showing anxiety. Now,
one of the best things you can do for curing
or helping with anxieties getting out into the wide world
and hunting with your friends safely, of course, but.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
All nutbars having guns?
Speaker 10 (09:43):
Do you?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I mean, how do you?
Speaker 8 (09:44):
Absolutely so?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
How do you stop that?
Speaker 8 (09:47):
So the way you stop that is some great work
is being done with both the firem Safety Authority and
a group called Mental Hunts, which is helping men and
firearms owners get better access to mental health and finding
the way that they can have their license temporarily taken
off them while they get the help they need, and
once they're signed off by a psychologist, they can get
their license back again. That's currently how the system should work, right. Unfortunately,
(10:12):
sometimes it gets a little bit vague and a little
bit over the top, and we understand that need to
err on the side of caution, but the police are
not psychologists. Once a psychologist area has signed off and
said you are okay and no longer a danger to
yourself or others, then that's when the police should say, look,
the doctors and the professionals have said you can have it.
It's not our job to stand in your way. But
(10:33):
unfortunately at this point they are still doing that.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
All right, you appreciate your time this morning. Hu deverro
Matt counts of licensed firearms and a spokesperson will hear
from the Cole mcke ladder today eighteen after five Ryan
Bred lying on the bank profits being up again. I
suspect the government actually is probably underneath it. All quite
glad about this, says Craig, because if a bank is
making more profits, then they are paying more tax and
taxes what they get. The other thing about A and
(10:56):
Z is there the other argument they're making is it's
not just like our profits have gone up out of nowhere.
We're getting squeezing more juice out of the existing lemon.
Their book has gone up. They are you know, it
would be the equivalent of a supermarket selling more stuff
and then making more money and you saying, well that's wrong.
(11:18):
I mean that's business. Nineteen after five.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Brian
Bridge and are the supercenter explore r these accessories and
servicing all in one? News talk set me five twenty one.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Well look at Sparty Marti before six right now, though
it's a bank profit watch time. An Z's up twenty
percent two and a half billion last week, Westpac thirteen percent,
increased to one point one billion. Shimo Jakob is Simplicity
chief economist with us this morning. Shama, good morning, good one.
Are you buying the lines that are coming out of
Antonio Watson's mouth? Are you buying the lines from the banks,
(11:54):
the net interest margin is up well slightly, but when
you compare Apple with Apples with Australia or their Australia business,
actually the difference is explained by capital requirements here.
Speaker 10 (12:08):
Not really, because that net interest margin has been higher
than Australia for a very long time. And the reason
why that's high is because they pairs less on own
deposits and charges more on our mortgages.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
If you look through the results for A and Z,
their cash profits up by four percent, which is the
same amount they've grown their balance sheet by.
Speaker 10 (12:32):
Exactly, so it's very much a story, but their net
interest margins being pretty much the same. A small increase,
but it's really been that modest growth in lending and
deposits that's driving their profits. Is that aband thing, Well,
the bad thing is how much they charge us. So
we want our banks to be profitable and safe, but
(12:53):
not the charge is an unreasonable amount. That was the
reason why we have the the hearing that the club
with the statu That's why the Commerce Commission was meant
to look at it. We need to get serious about
banking competition in New Zealand. The problem for us is
that we have a banking sector that's extraordinarily safe, extraordinarily profitable,
not particularly innovative, and we don't get products and services.
(13:16):
Why are we paying so much for so little?
Speaker 2 (13:19):
How much more are we paying than the rest of
the world.
Speaker 10 (13:23):
Much higher and so, as you know, when the Commerce
Commission did that work, there was quite a lot of
argument around those metrics. But the reality is that the
New Zealand banking sector is one of the most profitable
in the ovciting and it is not one of the
most innovative. And the reality is that if we want
to if you are to pay higher prices, we should
(13:43):
get something in return for it, and we are not.
So we need to get serious about having much sharper
teeth at the next inquiry of the banking sector. The
current one is not doing enough.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Everyone goes on about competition. We've got twenty seven registered
banks in New Zealand. How many would make good competition.
Speaker 10 (14:00):
Well, it's not the apples for apples, because when you
look at building societies and others, those banks are regulated
very differently. They have very small bound sheets and they're
not particularly well performing. So we do need to have
the kinds of fintech tech companies that are being real
challenges in Europe in particular. I think that's the kind
of competition we need to see in quite a big way.
(14:22):
In New Zealand. We've got the beginnings of that with
things like open banking. That's only the beginning and we
need to really push ahead on that because clearly New
Zealand is a sector where financial services can do very well.
Why should not New Zealanders also receive good products and
services at the same time.

Twenty seven after five yews Talk ZIB. A few years ago,
we had a bunch of stories about Santa parades getting
canceled because of red tape and traffic management, all sorts
of horrible stuff. NZTA was the Grinch that stole Christmas?
Do you remember this? Guess what? Two years on, despite
a change of government, despite a Minister and Ministry of Regulation.
Despite the road cone tip line, the Grinch is back.
(15:22):
This is one of those stories. It's kind of like
the working from home in the public service, you know,
one of these stories where the government's almost powerless and
the bureaucrats win. This time, it's Peel Pure population around
five hundred. It's rural State Highway three, North Island. They
want to close the road on the main drag, which
is their usual route. They want to close this road

thrown from the floats, or do they still do that
if you had a child and you arrest are don't know.
I agree, but you get the idea. We've all been
to one. They're great fun. Guess how much it was
(16:04):
going to cost them because of the Grinch's traffic rules
and the resulting bill for traffic management costs. It would
normally put them back about one thousand dollars this year,
wait for it, between ten and fourteen thousand dollars for
two and a half hours. Now you might balk at
that and I did. If you're organizing a Sanda parad
(16:26):
or an Anzac parade or a community event, don't worry.
The NZTA website has a helpful guide for you. It's
New Zealand's Guide to Temporary Traffic Management. It's eighty eight
pages long. I read it last night. Well, no, I didn't.
I read the first page and I thought, this is
absolute nonsense. The only thing you need to read is
the first sentence of the foreword. Yes there's a fore word. Wakakotahi.
(16:49):
New Zealand Transport Agency is committed to Road to zero,
a safe for altro in New Zealand where no one
is killed or injured on our roads. I hate to
be the bearer of bad news, but this is an
absolute pipe dream of the goal and will never happen.
Aiming for the outcome is mad. What you get as
a result is eighty eight pages of BS and a
(17:09):
fourteen thousand dollar bill to get Santa on a sleigh
for two hours. It's madness, and it continues. The organizers
don't worry. They say they have a Christmas meet and greet,
but no actual parade. Christmas is the season to be jolly.
It is the season forgiving and NZTA is giving grinch
vibes and bad attitude in my view. Twenty nine after
(17:31):
five Newstalk z MB, it's a party Mardi before six
to be bargain.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with
Ryan Bridge and are the Supercenter explore these accessories and
servicing all in one news talk, said bond.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Away from the sexer on news to it Zibe coming
up the four six ewer reaction to the Tapati maldis
split and we'll here to Australia where this Nazi protest
is well. I mean it was narali to begin with.
It's a Nazi protest, but it's getting more nari by
the day. Hey, lots of your texts coming in this
morning on pulpiol and INZTA right because there now it's
(18:21):
not the NZTA that's charging the Santa Parade ten to
fourteen thousand dollars to traffic management, meaning the parade can
no longer go ahead. It's ZTA saying this is what
needs you know, these are the rules, and then the
traffic management company that you hire, this is how much
it costs implement them to keep everybody safe and to
take a risk based approach, whatever that is. But many
(18:45):
of you have got better ideas. Frankly, Ryan Inzta and
pure Piole. This is why the country's broke bureaucrat's adding
no value in writing ad eight page documents, says Nancy, Yeah, Nancy.
The other thing is Rotor zero was meant to be
canceled after the LAS government left office, So why is
this document even online? Anyway, here is the good stuff.
Ryan Wypoo's bill for the Santa parade two years ago
(19:08):
was going to be five grand, So the locals suggested,
maybe we put a tractor at each end of the
center of the town center. Great idea, Another says Ryan.
Does nz TA charge protesters these prices? No, So what
another Texter has suggested is don't call it a Christmas parade,
call it a Christmas protest. You get yourself a free
(19:30):
police escort.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Ryan Bridge, twenty.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Two minutes away from Sex News Talk SEB. Now let's
go to our reporters around the country, and we start
with Cullum. Cullum, good morning, Hey, right, and good to
have you on the show this morning.
Speaker 11 (19:43):
What are we talking about, Well, an ancient fossil has
been named in honor of a renowned paleontologist here from
Otaga University.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
So this is a big honor.
Speaker 11 (19:52):
The fifty million year old bill fish fossils been named
after the late Professor u and Fordyce here ford Ice
was a vertebrate paleon hologistic inspired generations of young researchers
in his forty year long career at Otago's Department of Geology.
The fossil was one of two billfish skulls found here
in Otago. This is a large predatory fish similar to
(20:13):
a swordfish. Doctor Seborne Rust has told us that Professor
Fordyce brought the subject to life and he was a
guiding mentor for many budding palaeontologists.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Very cool. How's your weather comem.
Speaker 11 (20:24):
Cloudy periods, showers early in the staff to earn the
high eighteen.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Thank you Claire's and christ Church this morning. Morning, Claire,
good morning. Now I'll get to the weather because it's
racing day to day. But first the housing growth in
christ Church. We've got a government plan.
Speaker 12 (20:36):
Yeah, well a government update. This feels like the story
that's just gone on and on and on the government
wanting to put some housing intensification rules around christ Church
as well as elsewhere in the country. But christ Church
has been very much against this from the get go.
The bid from city Council to opt out of this
city wide intensification has now been accepted, effectively sparing us
(20:58):
from the entire area of christ Church being intensified. RMA
Reform Minister Chris Bishops accepted it, saying that instead it
will be limited to certain areas that includes the city center,
but also some of our key suburbs like Church Corner, Rickitton,
Hornby Lynnwood, Shirley, Merivale, Edgeware and Papa Neui. It will
mean overall around a quarter of the city is subject
(21:20):
to this higher density. Mayor Phil Major says he's over
the moon and it does mean that christ Church Is
momentum can continue.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
And weather today well it's meant to be.
Speaker 12 (21:30):
Mainly fine eventually, but for now it's raining and very
windy out there. We will also get some cloud increasing
link this afternoon southwesterly strong turning northeasterly the high.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Nineteen after the Lindau breakfast. Will anyone really notice clear?
Thank you Max and Wellington, Max, good morning, good morning.
Now I see the words Tory, Infarno and shindig and
hang on and Bill, you must be excited, hurt yourselves done.
Speaker 13 (21:57):
She may be gone that she keeps on giving you. Recall,
of course, the official portrait of the former mayor that,
of course, didn't need to be painted, the more than
seven thousand dollar painting that defied a council directive that
official mayal portrait should.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Instead be the cheaper option of photography.
Speaker 13 (22:13):
While the post revealing this morning that not only did
that happen, but Tory Fano's office then also spent more
than one thousand dollars on food and alcohol for a
private unveiling to friends and family. You're talking gourmet cannape's,
bite sized potato and corned beef gallettes, three hundred bucks
for beer and wine. Clearly, at this point, Miss Faro
was already one fed out. The door also released internal
(22:34):
emails that show Faro pushed very hard for a portrait
to be done and personally selected the artist. Subsequently, senior
council officials then went into scramble mode to discover why
the photography directive was ignored concern of a media fallout,
an insight of course, into how pr hacks determined what
the official line of messaging should be and they settled
(22:55):
upon it was a quote misunderstanding by Kaimahi. Or Stuff
would later tell media herself that she only felt it
important to support a local artist.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
I feel sick, Max, I feel sick. So the thousand
dollars of food and alcohol, this was a private unveiling
that just direct No, okay, So no one from the
council was there, No other council is just her friends
and family.
Speaker 13 (23:18):
It seemed it remained a secret up until that point.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yeah, God, all right, how's your weather.
Speaker 13 (23:23):
Cloudy with some morning showers? Seventeen the Hey, thanks.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Max and Neiva's an orcand morning needs good morning Now.
Auckland Council cracking down on fly tipping.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
That was right.
Speaker 14 (23:33):
Look, what's happened is that this data, fresh data shows
more than two thousand tons of waste is illegally dubbed
every year and that figure is on the rise. So
in the past financial year the council gave out almost
six hundred fines that's up to four hundred dollars each,
So that's nearly double the amount issued the year before.
And the Auckland Council is saying that much of that
(23:54):
household rubbish we find dumped could have gone into recycling
or food script bins if it had been sorted. But
that's the problem, isn't it. People don't want to sort
those kinds of things out.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
People nobody got time for that. How's our weather?
Speaker 14 (24:05):
Neiva, Okay, cloudy, few shells, but it's going to be fine,
clearing to fine weather this afternoon. Twenty one is high
here in Auckland, brilliant.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Thank you have a great morning. It's eighteen minutes away
from six. You're on News Talks Hebb. John Laws is
a radio host, not Michael Laws, who is a radio
host here, but John Laws, a radio host of some
seventy years standing in Australia. You might recognize his voice
if you've spent any time across the Tasman listening to
talk back. Hello Wild, this is John Lowlands. Hello Wild,
(24:35):
this is John Lock. Hello, Well, this is John Long.
He's passed away. Leslie Yeomans is our Australia correspondent. She's
with us live next News talksb It is quartered to
six very quickly. One billion dollars. That's how much Trump
is wanting in damages from the BBC for their documentary
and to be fair, the Panorama documentary that all of
this kicked, all of this off, came out just before
(24:56):
the election. It was designed to well, not influence, but
paint a picture of him before the election, and they
didn't identify the jump cuts in the story. So anyway,
he's now saying he wants a billion dollars from them.
It's fourteen minute. This will continue, It'll be the gift
that keeps on giving, much like Torrifino and Max fourteen
away from.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Six International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of
mind for New Zealand business.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Leslie Yeomens is our Australia correspondent. Leslie, Good morning morning Ryan.
Now what's going on? So we had this big protest,
the neo Nazi rally outside of the New South Wales
Parliament at the weekend and now two female MPs have
referred threats that they've received at police.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Yes, they were death threats and threats of rape and
other horrible things against them. The two MPs are a
Legraspender who is a federal MP, and Kelly Sloan, the
State MP. Both MPs representing people in Sydney and around Sydney.
Now at the weekend and they were about just under
(26:02):
one hundred people who neo Nats had a Neo Nazi
rally outside the State Parliament and they were members of
the National Socialist Network. Then on Sunday, after miss Bender
and Sloan had spoken out about this rally, they ended
up getting all these terrible threats against them. Now they've
(26:26):
referred those threats to the police and even the new
New South Wales Police Commissioner Lanyon, he's actually looking into
why the protest was given the green light by by
senior police command.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
It seemed to be odd, what's the why would they
targeted for by the group.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Demino because they were the most prominent speaking out about
it and also criticizing police about allowing and the state
government for allowing this to go ahead. The state government
had said that the police had said rather that there
was no threat to the to the public, so that's
(27:02):
one of the reasons why it was allowed to go ahead.
But then they've come out and said that they've had
all these threats on social media and they need to
be looked into.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Now John Laws, some might know him, is the man
with the Golden tonsils has died at the age of ninety.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Yes, the Golden Tonsils and the golden microphone. He was
ninety died. Died at the weekend, seven decades a career.
He started his career back in nineteen fifty three in
Bendigo in Country Victoria and just became this powerhouse in
the broadcasting industry.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
Here.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Yes, a state funeral has been offered by the New
South Wales Premier Chris Men's. He said he hasn't had
an opportunity to actually speak to the family yet to
see what their plans are, but that's what's been offered
by the New South Wales government.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Appreciate your time. That is Leslie Yeomans with US Australia correspondent.
Twelve minutes away from six. He lived straw Laws did
to Russell Crowe for twenty years and because he had
a farm in rural New South Wales, lived next door
to Russell crow. Russell Crowe said he worked hard, played
harder and loved completely. A legend in the very best
most Australian sense of the word. I loved him and
(28:14):
I'll never forget him. It is now eleven minutes away
from six. Kakati Mardi is imploding. It'll be no surprise
to you, given what's happened over the last month.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
This decision was not taken lately. Many hope the end
would be reconciliation. It could not be achieved. We acknowledge
the mummy our people have built, and we think our
National Council for upholding our color and the best interests
of our movement throughout the.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Helmet Modlick is well. By the way Ferris and Kapa
king He now become independents and they say that they
will fight this. We'll see where that goes. Helmet Modlick
is Nat toy E chief executive with me this morning.
Good morning, Maudena, Good to have you on the show.
What is your I mean, obviously it's not a great
look for to party Mardi. But what happens with the
Maldi electric vote now do you think?
Speaker 9 (29:06):
Yeah, well, that would depend on what plays out over
the next probably the next six months or so. It's
hard to state how bitterly disappointing it is for the
married community to see the dynamic that's played out so
publicly and resulting in this fractious outcome.
Speaker 15 (29:23):
Yeah, hard's overstate it.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Do you know what exactly? You know that Ferris and
Coupa King have actually done.
Speaker 6 (29:32):
Well.
Speaker 9 (29:32):
I think it's fair to say that the actions and
conversations that have gone on initially behind the scenes and
then more recently and all two public ways, online as
well as over the media, has really been a combination
of small and not so small actions that have just
irritated each I thought about it, it seems to be
(29:57):
pretty orthodox sort of personality power politics type ego actions
the common.
Speaker 15 (30:04):
Well, that's always you're going to have a serious ego
if you're going to be in politics, and and it's
it seems parallel pretty similarly the sorts of things we
should play out in other parties at this At this
stage though in the.
Speaker 9 (30:18):
Electoral cycle, and given the strategic issues and play for
to party Maori and the progressive side of the political spectrum,
it's it's serious helmet.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Does Labor went out of this?
Speaker 9 (30:30):
You know?
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Do we get Maori voters on the Maori role going
back to Labor?
Speaker 9 (30:35):
That's that's clearly got to be one of strategic options.
And that's so I say, it depends on what plays
out over the sixty nine months. The you know, the
there's no point when in a battle if you lose
the war, and the war at this point in time
is seen the Coalition and it's egregious attacks on the
(30:58):
Murray community and over the last couple of years seeing
them removed from office. There's the war and this battle
that's playing out into party. Maldi has been decidedly unhelpful
in winning that battle that war.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Sorry, helmet model. Appreciate your time this morning, Art Toya
Earwchief Executive Time is eight minutes away from six News
Talks ATB Views and.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Views you Trust to start your day. It's earlier this
ship with Bryan Bridge and r V Supercenter explore RV's
accessories and servicing. Fall and one News Talks at B.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Six to six on your Tuesday morning. There was talk
of maybe a winter election, going back to the polls
in Canada, it's not going to have to happen. Carne
there has a minority government and he was trying to
get his budget through and he had one hundred and
sixty nine seats and he was three short, and some
conservatives have come to save the day, so budgets passed.
That's all fine. But what they're doing, because Trump's tariffs
(31:53):
are hitting them hard, what they're doing is doubling the
deficit to seventy eight point three billion in Canadian dollars,
doubling the deficit five minutes away from Sex, Cray and Bridge,
which they say is you know, a pro investment, pro
growth thing. Mike's all. That's now morning, Mike, greetings to you.
Now who signed? Are you on Trump getting his billion
(32:14):
dollars from BBC or BBC saying actually, we're not biased
at all. Nothing to see.
Speaker 16 (32:20):
Oh, I don't think they're going to went on that one.
I don't think the I was thinking about it yesterday.
Public broadcaster is all over the world. I sided funnily
enough with the Prime Minister yesterday. If you read the report,
you know, the book Camp report that came out on
Friday didn't get enough coverage because it came out Friday. Anyway,
Radio New Zealand ran a headline saying that conclusion was
it was rushed, yes, which is simply not true because
(32:42):
I read the report and it depends on what you
call a conclusion or an observation. So there wasn't a conclusion.
There were lots of observations.
Speaker 6 (32:50):
Yes.
Speaker 16 (32:51):
One of the observations was it was put together a
bit quickly, but there were lots of those observations, so
why would you pick the singular one to make it
a headline.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
It isn't the overall issue that you have. You should
I mean, there will always be biased in news.
Speaker 16 (33:06):
I've always said that they will always be honest about it.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Well, I agree, So so why don't we just say
you have one side represented over there, you have another represented.
Do whatever you like and listen to what you want
to do whatever you like.
Speaker 16 (33:18):
And that's the problem has come about because there are
people who still argue that they're down the middle, which
is simply laughable. True and it's never been true. And
all that happened during COVID and all the ensuing years
is that that got exposed badly. Yes, the reputation has
been permanently damaged.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Lost the room.
Speaker 16 (33:36):
There is no way back, as simple as that.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
You know, Good luck everybody.
Speaker 16 (33:40):
Antonia Watson, by the way, Antonio Watson, who runs the
bank the afore mentioned that you were talking about this morning,
child must be hard work defending success, isn't. It's a weird,
slightly weird thing, is you know, you're really success?
Speaker 2 (33:52):
We can but they're doing are they ripping us off?
Or are they just doing more business.
Speaker 16 (33:56):
They're not. They can't rip us off because you don't
have to do business with the day.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
These were a monopoly sure, twenty seven banks, but they're
not anyway. Shues with this way all right, looking forward
to it. Mike's with you next, have a fantastic day.
See you tomorrow. News Talk to him Be.
