Speaker 1 (00:01):
The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
early erdership with r V Supercenter, explore r V successories
and servicing all than one news talks.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
That'd be six after five and your Friday morning. Great
to have your company. We'll talk to Dennis O'Reilly. He's
warning Black Power members that their kids will end up
working for Mexican cartels. We're in the UK. There's another
further migrant crackdown happening. Josh Cromfeld on the ab Sonia
Rockhouse on Plant River charges. Plus I'll tell you why
you can't trust Winston not to go with labor the
(00:34):
agenda Friday the twenty first November. By Christmas, we'll see
the Epstein files. Trump signed the bill.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I'm all for it. You know we've already given fifty
thousand badges.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
You do know that.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Unfortunately, like with the Kennedy situation, with the Wattin Luther
King situation, not to put Jeffrey Epstein in the same category.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
But no matter what we give us, never enough.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
That certainly was an odd comparison. Though, problem is he
has order a bunch of investigations. You might remember over
the last couple of weeks, any files that relate to
current inquiries won't be released. Hmmm. Meanwhile, officials in Ukraine,
this is US officials, They've got a deal. Looks like
it was written by Putin himself to when the war
(01:16):
Zelensky's got to give up don Bass and Cutter's troop numbers.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
We haven't heard of any concessions on the Russian side.
I mean, if Russia really wanted peace, could have you know,
agree to uncondition our ceasefire already some time ago?
Speaker 6 (01:32):
Have you repe of officials in any way been part
of the wrapping off between the grafic.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
In US and Russia, not that I know of.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Migrant crackdown continues with Shabana Mupmud. This is the Home
Secretary in the UK. Legal migrants could now wade up
to twenty years before they can settle permanently, up from
the current five Now.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
I make one thing absolutely clear, though, we will not
change the rules for those with settled status today. These
are people who have been in our country for years,
even decades. They have families here, wives, husbands, children, They've
worked in our hospitals, taught in our schools and have
been contributing to our society.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
The news you need this morning and the in depth
Analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and are the Supercenter
explore r these accessories and servicing more than one news.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Talks ABN nine two is the number six Flick me
one this morning, eight minutes after five David Seymour, it's
anyone else a little bit annoyed by David Seymour at
the moment or have you been annoyed with him since
the election. I'm just feeling a little bit brassed off
at David Seymour. This is supposed to be a libertarian party,
low taxes, small gut, pretty simple stuff, and he's just
(02:49):
not delivering on that front. I mean that is, you
cannot argue with that. He's not delivering on those core
libertarian principles, which is what people voted him in for.
Coalition spending more than Grant Robertson did em debts still
climbing seventy five million extra a day, eh. The Treaty
(03:12):
Bill massive distraction got nowhere.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
Eh.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
The regulation Ministry more bureaucrats and what have they solved?
What problems have they actually solved? And how much has
it cost us to solve them?
Speaker 7 (03:27):
Eh?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I'm getting a bit sick of doing the noise, So
I'll stop doing the noise. But you get the point.
I mean, we paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for
some of these bureaucrats to sit there and find out
what's wrong with the economy where the regulations have gone.
Do we need a whole ministry for that? I don't
think so. I don't think so. And then yesterday you
get the Reglitary Standards Bill and Winston's up and Adam, which,
(03:52):
if you look at it is exactly what David Seymour
would describe as performative politics. If there's not binding, nothing
binding about it. And again you're setting up a regulatory
standards board. Em one more, and that is those are
paid bureaucrats. They are directors on a board telling politicians
(04:14):
what to do, and the politicians can turn around and
just rip the middle finger. So what's the point in it?
What is the point in it? You know, where's where's
my flat tax rate? Why haven't we blown up and
tire government departments or ministries? Why have they not been
abolished yet? What are you doing? It is not the
(04:36):
thing that I thought you were going to do. David Seymour,
eleven after five annoying Doja Cat. Does anyone know Doja Cat?
I'll play some music shortly. Mackenzie's just told me because
we've had lots of gigs in Auckland over the last
couple of weeks, which has been fantastic. There was Metallica,
we had Lenny Kravitz and Doja Cat is one that
young people like, and apparently there's been a lot of
(04:58):
complaints about Doja Cat. I'll tell you who she is
and why you should care in a second. Lots more
to come though. We will also talk about the invidious
situation from yesterday and what it means for the stock market.
And I want to get into the dairy prices because
clearly we had another option this week and down down
down downtown. Clearly the price is going to have to
(05:18):
be revised by Fonterra, in fact began zed yesterday, so
we'll look at that too. Up next, Sonya Rockhouse on
Pike River. Will there be charges soon?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
Bridge and r V Supercenter explore r v's accessories and
servicing all in one News Talksbus.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Talksb It is fourteen minutes after five. Ryan, seems like
the election cycles already started sooner the previous cycles. I
think that is a fair observation, Ryan, I would like
to vote for New Zealand first for the first time
in my life. I like what I hear, but can
I trust them not to go with labor, which is
what I don't want. Well, dear listener, thank you for texting.
(05:58):
I will talk to you about that in about ten
minutes time. Another person, Taylor, says, do the noise, go on,
do the noise. We finished with the noise, Taylor. Fourteen
after five Bride, the lawyer's representing the Pike River families,
think police have enough evidence to lay corporate manslaughter charges
fifteen years after the tragedy. Sonya rock House and Anna
Osborne have called a meeting with Brook van Velden a
(06:19):
complete waste of time. They were at Parliament this week.
Sonya rock House sadly lost her son Ben in the
tragedy and joins me, Now, Sonya, good morning, good morning, Sonya,
Hi are you hello? Good to have you on the program.
Tell me what do you know about these potential charges, Sonya?
Speaker 7 (06:41):
Well, they've always had enough evidence. Like before when the
charges were first talked about with they had enough evidence
way back then, so I don't know. He said a
lot about it. Obviously, the police don't talk to us
about that stuff. So yeah, we just know that there's
(07:06):
been a whole lot of other evidence has been gathered
over the years. They did an extensive forensic scope of
the drift, spent several months doing that and.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yeah, and Sonya, the problem was initially that their work
Safe was doing an investigation, weren't they They were looking
at charges and the police are looking at charges and
the police went, oh, well we can't both charge them,
so you can do it, and then they did a deal.
Speaker 7 (07:39):
Yes, that's correct. So the police were going to charge,
and then WorkSafe said they were going to charge, so
the police backed off and then WorkSafe walked away. So
nobody did it. So and the reason that they yes, exactly,
(08:00):
the reason that they did it was that Peter Whittle's
insurance company paid the family is three point four one
million in exchange for the charges being dropped. So checkbook justice.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Basically, Sonya, do you know if there's new any new
evidence being found or is this all old evidence?
Speaker 7 (08:22):
I don't know. The police, Like I said, the police
haven't talked to us about it, because anything that you
know that we don't want to prejudice possible future prosecutions.
So I all I know is that over the last
few years, up until they that it was settled again,
(08:45):
they collected lots and lots of stuff to put forward
to Crown, the Crown solicitor. So you know, the police,
like us, just have to sit back and wait. Now
they've done their job as best as they can do it,
and we've done everything that we can and now we
(09:05):
just have to sit back and wait for the big decision.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
For the prosecutors. Now, it's been a few years since
I've spoken to you, Sonya. How how are you doing?
Are you ever at peace? I saw you at Parliament
the other day. Is this torture? You know? Is this
still torture every day for you?
Speaker 7 (09:23):
No, it's not torture every day. Yesterday was a tough day.
Anna and I actually went up to Kate I think
it's Kate Shepherd Park in Wellington. Oh, yes, And there's
a seat up there that's been dedicated to Helen Kelly.
So we sat there just before the three point forty
(09:45):
four and then watched it, watch the time, and then
just tailed hands and closed our eyes and thought about
our men because of course we were away and that
felt really strange. But you know, we sort of took
solo from the fact that Anna and I were together,
which we normally are on the anniversary anyway, but just
(10:06):
not up in Wellington, up at Parliament. Yeah. I mean
it's been fifteen years. It still hurts every day. You know,
I've missed out on fifteen years of my son's life.
He was twenty one when he was killed and he
would now be thirty six. So yeah, I think it
(10:28):
still hurts. Of course it hurts, but you learned, you know,
it's just it's just buried there and on days like yesterday,
of course it comes out. But we're still very very
passionate about, you know, getting true justice and accountability that
will never go away. That passion is always there and
the pain as well. So the movie's definitely given us
(10:52):
a little bit of a lift because you know, we're
very proud of it. I don't know whether you've seen
it or not.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Have I interviewed the director as well, and one of them, yes, yeah, no,
great movie, sonya. We have to leave it there. Thank
you for coming on, and best of luck with the
with the prosecutors. You know, I know your fingers and
totally crossed for that. It is nineteen minutes after five.
Speaker 8 (11:18):
Raham Bridge, Now this is I told you about Doja Cat.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
This is Doja Cat. Doesn'tyone know this song? I've definitely
heard it, Kenzy, I've definitely heard it. So she came
here along with all the other acts that are doing
performing in Auckland at the moment or performing around the country.
She's cop some flat for her concert at Spark Arena.
People said, no visuals, poor lighting. She didn't even change outfits,
(11:49):
you know how they meant to do multiple costume changes
and not. She couldn't be bothered and got all this
flack and online. Once people started complaining, she said, I
want Someone said, hopefully she listens to the criticism, and
she replied, I won't and I don't need you. She
doesn't care, does she. Twenty after five News Talks be
Josh confiled on the AB's next.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
On your Radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition with
Ryan Bridge and r the Supercenter explore r v's accessories
and servicing. Paul than One News Talks.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
A B five twenty two News Talks' b abs wrap
up the year in Cardiff against Wales fourteen am Sunday,
our time. If you're wanting to watch or you're wanting
to listen. The Grand Slam dream obviously is over and
Robertson's dropping three of his dropped rather three of his
last eight tests. Josh conferid Form All Black with me
this morning. Morning Josh, good morning. Hell are we oh
(12:42):
not too bad? Lots of changes he's made for Cardiff.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
Look, I guess it's maybe he was always going to
do that. You know, I had a plan and the
idea was that anyone was done and then after that
shift the rest of the crew, but also maybe forced
his hand with injuries and and maybe the team not
(13:07):
performing as well as he wanted it against England. So
he's given people opportunities to make a statement at the
end of.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
The tour, including Ruben Love, who I see starting at fullback.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
Yeah, and it's fantastic. It's I mean, look, everybody's been
asking the question. You know, he's a great player. We
love what he did, what he's done this season, and
and and hoping to see him showcase what skill sets
he's got. And I mean that's that's the public. So
everyone's getting their wish, you know. But at the same time,
(13:43):
all Jordan's been fantastic, you know, so we know how
good he is. And but you know, it'll be interesting
to see the little shuffle around with that respect and
and how I think was on the wing that's right,
So see how that goes and how they how they gel.
(14:03):
I mean, the back three these days should be interchangeable
in terms of position. You know, if someone's in doing
something or done something that you know that a winger
should drop back and fill that that that that role
and you know as as as should you teen and
so it's the game. Just everybody seems to be more
(14:25):
and more adaptable with their role sets, you know, and
be able to interchange. And I think that's just the
modern games.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Josh, we have thirty seconds left, and I apologize to that,
but I want to know what did what talking about
changes the coaching staff, anything needs to change, Well.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
It's going to be I mean, Jason Hollan leaves, so
there's going to be changes anyway. Look, I don't we
do have a tendency to panic, you know, like everything's
kind of new for everybody. You know, they're growing, they're
doing you know, they're trying to make progressions. We can
(15:08):
just you know, clean slate. You know, that's that's what
people decide. But my feeling is it's not jumped the guns.
Let's see what happens. You know, it's a tough role.
It's a new thing to do, and and we're.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Only half way too, We're only halfway. Josh's the other thing.
So the better the devil, you know, I suppose than
the one you don't. Josh Cromfeld form or all Black,
appreciate your time. This morning twenty five after five News Talks.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
He'd be the early edition full the show podcast on
iHeartRadio How News.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Talks a B.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Five twenty seven News Talks, there be Friday morning. Can
you trust Winston Peters not to go with Labor next year?
That is the question on everybody's lips, And the answer
is no, you can't. He hasn't ruled it out. And
remember you will remember that he went with Descender in
twenty seventeen, even though National's got a high proportion of
the vote. Labor has not ruled Winston out. Winston has
not ruled Labor out. Winston has ruled Chippy out. So
(16:05):
all that means is we could see a leadership swap
in the last seven weeks of the campaign, bug of
the unions, and even during negotiations. All these things are possible.
Hopkins is a party man, and if the choice was
opposition for his caucus or the Treasury benches, he would
fall on his sword. So it's a live scenario. Is
Labor and New Zealand first? If they I should say
(16:26):
Labor and New Zealand first get enough to form a
coalition together, wouldn't Winston prefer that to another threesome on
the right. He hates Chippy because of COVID and what
is a woman malfunction at that press conference, But the
party's been working hard to shake the overly wokey, dopey
vibe since then. Also, Winston doesn't like Seymour. And if
(16:46):
there was a chance for him to extract big spending policies,
some regional funding, you know they love that at New
Zealand first, manufacturing energy deals, more gold card benefits, whatever
it might be I reckon, he would go for it.
The scenario becomes much less likely if the Greens and
whatever might be left of Tapati Mardi needing to prop
(17:06):
them up. He hates them much more than he hates
Seymour and would look stupid going into government with a
green handshake and a hongy. The rule with Winston is
pretty simple. All options are on the table, and this
time next year, as summer approaches in the weather warms,
we'll be staking at his beach house and the Crowbar
Villa in Auckland, waiting on the Kingmaker.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Views and views you trust. To start your day. It's
earlier Ediship with Ryan Bridge and r V Supercenter explore
r v's accessories and servicing. Fall than One News talks
at B.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Twenty four away from six on your Friday morning, coming
up a full six o'clock. If you're a gang member
in New Zealand right now you're about to get basically
owned by Mexican cartels. Will talk to Black Power member
genness O Riley about that before six o'clock. And also
this Rushy Ukraine peace deal is a non starter. Will
in the UK for that shortly, now, very quickly. A
couple of numbers for you this morning. This is about
(18:12):
the state of the American economy. And in Vidiya yesterday
gave us a good clover, good hint and the markets
are loving it. I think that she is. Were up
four percent just before I came on here this morning,
loving that result from Nvidio. But also we finally get
the job's growth numbers from September. This is the one
delayed by seven weeks because of the government shutdown. Well,
finally we have it, and jeez, she's a cracker taking
(18:33):
off like a rocket. One hundred and nineteen thousand payrolls
added for this is its strongest gain since it's April.
This is full September. And yeah, a little bit late.
Came in a little bit late, but better late than never,
and well above the fifty thousand jobs that economists had predicted.
And we always look at that Wall Street Journal poll
of economists. They had expected fifty thousand, came in one
hundred and nineteen. That's all good.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Ran the bridge.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Twenty three away from six. Now it's going to our
reporter's colum Good morning morning.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Right.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
So, Otago's economy is doing rather well, outpacing the rest
of us.
Speaker 9 (19:06):
That's according to a new report from A and Z,
which explores how Otago's New Zealand's most recession resistant region.
It's got the lowest rate of unemployment. At the same time,
business growth is up forty percent and export values here
tripled since two thousand and two, reaching more than three
billion dollars now. Business and OG Regional manager Cameron Read
(19:27):
says the regions are leading New Zealand's economic recovery, with.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Otago on top.
Speaker 9 (19:31):
He says, Otago's a diversified region from agriculture to tourism
and education, and it's leveraging local strength seeking higher value
export opportunities.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Great.
Speaker 9 (19:40):
How's your weather rain from later this morning? Southerly changed
on the way nineteen the high today.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Thank you Claire's and christ Church clear, good morning. What's
happening with your hummus?
Speaker 7 (19:51):
Ah?
Speaker 10 (19:51):
Yeah, what is happening with our hummers? While food Stuff
South Islands certainly not selling it anymore after they were
fined thirty nine thousand dollars for selling recalled products. These
were the items that were pulled from shelves across the
country in February twenty twenty three. That came after a
supplier advised that a batch of takini, which is used
in hummus, was positive for salmonella. Now, New Zealand Food
(20:14):
Safety Deputy Director General Vincent Arbuckle says food stuff down
Thailand went on to sell another thirty nine units of
the recalled products, while there were no confirmed reports of
anyone getting sick. Ar Buckle says it's very important to
hold food businesses to account in order to lower the
risk for consumers. The company has accepted the penalty which
(20:35):
was ordered by the courts. They say they've reviewed processes,
systems and increased training since.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
And how mus was the fine?
Speaker 10 (20:44):
Thirty nine thousand dollars?
Speaker 11 (20:47):
It was a good one, right.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
No, it wasn't. How's you wear the clear?
Speaker 10 (20:51):
A hot one for our Friday. We've got to mainly
find a Northwesterly's developing and the high will be twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Just shut up, Ryan, Okay, just shut up. Thanks CLEAHIMEX.
Speaker 12 (21:01):
Yeah, don't try don't try that with me, Ryan, Hey,
this is good.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Well, is it going to be scraped or just pause?
The Golden Mile?
Speaker 12 (21:10):
Well, it does seem permanently on ice, which is sort
of blurring the two. This is the Yeah, the Golden Mile.
The very divisive transport plan to remove cars and car
parks from the main artery of the central city Lambton
Key through to Courtney Place. Businesses hate it, some argue
it's necessary to revitalize the CBD. But the new look
(21:32):
Council met yesterday for the first time and we're given
a new cost estimate for the project and it's about
eighty million dollars higher, two hundred and twenty million now.
When it started in twenty twenty, it was seventy eight million,
So it really has ballooned in a few years. So
what do you think happens when bureaucrats get together and
something like this comes up. We're going to get another
review for up to four hundred thousand dollars, another look
(21:55):
at it, another look at the project, the cost benefit, etc.
That'll be new debt at our expense. Yeah, why not
just shelvet Just do it either way. I think the
city's pretty sick of inaction. Courtney Place is a mess.
Do we need to take cars off the street, Probably not,
but we still need to need to do something otherwise.
At the meeting, not much. Racheng got a little bit
of grief for his historic pendulous emails, but no issues
(22:18):
otherwise with the mayors Andrew Little's appointments.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
A few more pendulous breasts on Courtney Place to get
more people down there. I would have thought.
Speaker 12 (22:25):
There's been enough. Yeah, it has the weather mainly find
some strong wind nineteen the heights.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Nice. I need a good morning, good morning. Now you've
got a story for us.
Speaker 11 (22:35):
Yes I have, and I thought I would do this
story because we've been talking about this in the newsroup.
So this is an international story about a bar in
the UK and it has banned annoying solo drinkers from
this pub because you know, the guy sees the owner said, look,
I think they've been doing this for a while, but
they're bothering other patrons and these single people they're not
(22:57):
allowed to go when they're after nine pm because you know,
the leeches.
Speaker 8 (23:01):
And blah blah.
Speaker 11 (23:01):
But it's excuses huge uproar because all single people are saying, hey, hey, hey,
you're putting us all, you know, under the same category.
We're not all like that.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
True, because you could just be single and normal and normal.
Speaker 11 (23:15):
And just want to have a we drinking poo by yourself.
But this is the thing, what we're talking about is
that I admire Carrie Wooden because she can go to
a cafe restaurant for lunch by herself and just take
a book and read the book. And I mean the
place is pecked out.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
I do that? Do you sime with movies? I go
to movies on my own.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Do you go in?
Speaker 11 (23:36):
I can't even have a coffee by myself?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Really, why not?
Speaker 12 (23:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 11 (23:38):
I think I need to be with people.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
I feel like, oh butterfly, but you know, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 11 (23:45):
So it should be encouraged. Oh so you can sit
there for like two or three hours by yourself.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Yeah, quite easy. The thing about the Pesiti people, we
all know the people you're talking about, don't we. You know,
when you're at a bar and there's some guy and
he's just wasted and he's on his own and he's
trying on you, there's a reason that he's on his own. Yeah,
I know, no one wants to hang out with him.
It's right because he's annoying. But I just I think
you have to deal with that on a case by
case basis. If somebody comes in and there annoying, then
(24:10):
you get rid of annoying people rather than all singles.
Speaker 11 (24:12):
Because imagine if you went in there, if I went
and then there, wait, no, you well, and I say,
why are you trying to get rid of me?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (24:17):
You talk too much?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Off you go well see that is there is a
high chance of helpening. How's the weather okay fine?
Speaker 11 (24:24):
Apart from morning cloud it's going to be a hot
one twenty four too hot to go sitting inside a
CAFA by myself.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
That's seventeen minutes away from six News Talk, so'd b.
We're in the UK next. According to six News Talk
said B are the dairy auction results we had this
week obviously weren't good in terms of prices going the
wrong way, down three percent, seven declines in a row
from early August taking the accumulative dropped to thirteen percent
for the year, but it was leading the charge now.
(24:52):
Of course we'll have some revisions from Fonterra, presumably on
their price and payout price, but we had one yesterday
from benz there down to nine dollars fifty from teen
dollars twenty five. Fontira midpoint currently ten dollars. That'll, as
I say, likely come down fourteen to six.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
International correspondence with insin eye insurance peace of mind for
New Zealand business.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
The UK has had a COVID inquiry much like the
one we're having, though I suspect the results might say
the opposite things. This is Boris Johnson's era in joining
Usmenson mechaviny a UK europe correspondent Vincent What does it say.
Speaker 13 (25:26):
Well, it's pretty damning. It's the report that's come out
today on the behavior of the government just for contacts.
Some two hundred and twenty seven thousand people died in
the UK during this period of COVID and the report
says a toxic and chaotic culture in the UK government
affected decision making, adding that then Prime Minister Boris Johnson
(25:47):
both failed to tackle and sometimes actively encourage that toxic
and chaotic culture. It says that he and his government
entirely wasted the month of February, and had they gone
for an earlier move, they could have on restrictions some
by imposing lockdown earlier. Lockdown wouldn't have had to last
for as long, and they believe some twenty three thousand
(26:09):
lives would have been saved in that first wave in England.
It says that the government's planning was too little, too late,
that time was wasted and the lockdown could have been
avoided all together if steps such as social distancing isolation
had been introduced in February. It's a pretty scathing and
damning report. It does say that the vaccine program was
(26:31):
a remarkable achievement that's praised the role out of that,
but ultimately this is a huge damning indictment of Boris
Johnson's legacy as Prime Ministers.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
We've got some Pentagon officials arriving in Kiv talking about
a possible deal that in the war, but it looks
like it's been written drafted by Poshan himself as very
one sided.
Speaker 13 (26:49):
By the sounds yeah, I mean, it sounds like it
could have been facts from the Kremlin. It basically calls
for Ukraine, we think, to give up around twenty percent
of its territory and a huge demands like downscaling its
military and no longer having access to certain weapons. So
it is very unclear from this twenty eight point draft
plan that it's emerged drafted by Wickoff, the senior Trump
(27:13):
aide who is incredibly inexperienced when it comes to international affairs,
and his Russian counterpart reportedly in a Miami hotel room
earlier this month. The draft, I think is not going
to go down well with anyone in Europe, and I
think we're going to hear probably from President Dolensky later on,
just saying that he cannot sign up to these demands
after almost four years of war, the demands of his people,
(27:37):
the people who have died in this conflict. This would
simply be healing over and bowing to Russia. And I
think there will be huge pushback from Europe because if
Vladimir Pusin thinks that he can get away with this
in Ukraine, we already seen him testing out defenses around
the rest of Europe. He's been putting drones up over
various airports in Belgium and Denmark. He's got a ship
(27:57):
of his Shadow Fleet currently just British waters, we think
mapping out under sea infrastructure. So I think Europe is
going to say no, we cannot cave like this. It
will embolden him.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Appreciate your time, Vincent mcaviniy aw UK Europe correspondent time
is eleven minutes away from six Bryant Bridge, So game
Patch ban, We're one year on, six hundred and forty
three items seized, eight hundred and fifty six charges, one
hundred and eighty eight convictions, thirty eight thousand fewer victims
of serious violent crime. Dennis o'reiley's lifetime Black Power member
and community advocate with me this morning, Dennis, Good morning,
(28:28):
Good morning, sir. Has it been a success.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Well, I think a reduction in the number of victims
is a good thing. Firearms up the street is a
good thing. And not too sure about the seige of clothing.
You can get stuff on Temu if you want. It's
behavior that counts. But no, this span has been the
pitch bean has been well implemented. Paradoxically, it's by the
(28:52):
very same leadership team that's been vilified very much. And
you know, mister Basham was the guy that stared that,
and I suppose it's under the direction of mister Costa.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
And Tania Kurra.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
So it must seem like a I know it's the
fagship policy for the government, and it must seem a
bit like a bit of a turd sandwich. But yes,
it has worked.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
You take the sandwich and just leave the turd on
the side. How about the what's on the ground like
gang members? What is their life like without a patchhorn?
Does it do they? Does it change dynamics?
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Well, in the main, I think most people are quite
happy about it, not annoying the public and not annoying
each other as much. Now there's a bit of betwixt
and between, and I was really hoping that we'd be
able to put a lot more effort into Remember this
is not only the sort of anniversary of the Patch band,
(29:53):
it's also the anniversary of the apology by the government
for abuse and state care. And when we talk about
gangs in New Zealand, we sort of think about Horry
and hemy lurking down at the mall. But we've got
real gangs now, We've got cartels bringing in methamphetamine and
(30:14):
unprecedented quantities into the country, and we need.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
To sort out what are you What have you been
telling the members that you speak to about the Mexicans.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Well, not just the Mexicans. Well, I'm saying that they
will recruit the sons and daughters and grandsons and granddaughters
of the of the current gang Farno. They'll promise them
the world through North American hyper materialism. But the only
(30:46):
way they'll get to enjoy it is from six feet.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
It is six minutes away from six. The Russians have
been using telegram, which is like a WhatsApp group that
you can go on and it's all private, using telegram
to go and recruit teenagers inside Ukraine. Ukrainian teenagers get
them to go blow stuff up, and they've got Russian
handlers who will pay them about three and a half
thousand dollars to go blow up a van and they
(31:29):
will live stream. It's that the teenager live streams the
whole thing happening. The handler then pushes the button remotely
as soon as someone gets into the van of a
high ranking official whatever it might be, blows them up.
They reckon. The Ukrainians reckon. Hundreds of kids and teenagers
are being recruited via telegram to do acts of sabotage.
Five to six day and bread Rich Friday Morning. Mike's here, Morning, Mike.
Speaker 8 (31:52):
Do you know what the biggest growth industry in Ukraine is?
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Drones?
Speaker 8 (31:55):
Yes, and mom and dads at home making drones these days.
It's like a mass of mom and pop drone makers.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
They want to sell us some of their drones. They've
been coming here to try and do some deals. Well
we didn't.
Speaker 8 (32:07):
One of the great stories of the year, I think
is that when the Prime Minster went to Britain sometimes
during the year I can't remember when, remember that we
discovered that there's a Toweronger company, yes, that makes very
high tech drones and sells them to the British and stuff.
And I mean those are the sort of stories that
we don't hear enough of in this country.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
See.
Speaker 8 (32:24):
I discovered a coffee roasting machine this week, right, and
we make it in Dunedin, and we make drones and
tower on it and we make coffee roasting machines in Dunedin.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
So we manufacture them here.
Speaker 8 (32:33):
No we don't, Well, yes we do. And that's the problem.
The problem I discovered this week is that we make
we make virtually nothing in this country as manufacturers, and
yet the stuff we do make is world leading. So
that then would lead you to ask the question, would
it not if we can make stuff that's world leading,
because it's the quantity quality thing, right, So we're never
going to do quantity, so we'll do quality. Well, if
(32:54):
we can make the very best of something? Why don't
we make the very best of more stuff?
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Well? Good question. I was actually thinking about this yesterday,
which is always dangerous. But you know Ai and you
know robots. Do we the race to the bottom in
terms of labor costs and manufacturing countries like China? Does
that matter anymore? Could we build factories here that are robotic?
You know? If we have a good coffee machine out
of to Needen, can we not scale that up with
(33:21):
free labor?
Speaker 8 (33:22):
These are all good questions, right. I don't know why
we're not running the country. It's shown me your show
is coming because I feel you're getting better as the
show's gone on now and it's just coming to an.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
End, you know, Mike, I got a text about of
five point thirty nine texts came in Good Morning Mike,
which I'm still on air at this point, so they
don't care. They've moved off from you, Like, could you
let Ryan know I really enjoyed his quality shows the
last two mornings, cheers.
Speaker 8 (33:42):
That's good will. You're only here for two mornings, weren't
you this week?
Speaker 2 (33:45):
I was doing drive Mike.
Speaker 8 (33:47):
No, I'm just saying, so both mornings you turned up.
Somebody liked it.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Yeah, so that's worth what they obviously didn't like. Whoever
was Happy Friday, everyone, Mike's here next. See you Monday.

warning Black Power members that their kids will end up
working for Mexican cartels. We're in the UK. There's another
further migrant crackdown happening. Josh Cromfeld on the ab Sonia

the Epstein files. Trump signed the bill.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I'm all for it. You know we've already given fifty
thousand badges.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
You do know that.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Unfortunately, like with the Kennedy situation, with the Wattin Luther
King situation, not to put Jeffrey Epstein in the same category.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
But no matter what we give us, never enough.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
That certainly was an odd comparison. Though, problem is he
has order a bunch of investigations. You might remember over
the last couple of weeks, any files that relate to
current inquiries won't be released. Hmmm. Meanwhile, officials in Ukraine,
this is US officials, They've got a deal. Looks like
it was written by Putin himself to when the war
(01:16):
Zelensky's got to give up don Bass and Cutter's troop numbers.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
We haven't heard of any concessions on the Russian side.
I mean, if Russia really wanted peace, could have you know,
agree to uncondition our ceasefire already some time ago?
Speaker 6 (01:32):
Have you repe of officials in any way been part
of the wrapping off between the grafic.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
In US and Russia, not that I know of.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Migrant crackdown continues with Shabana Mupmud. This is the Home
Secretary in the UK. Legal migrants could now wade up
to twenty years before they can settle permanently, up from
the current five Now.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
I make one thing absolutely clear, though, we will not
change the rules for those with settled status today. These
are people who have been in our country for years,
even decades. They have families here, wives, husbands, children, They've
worked in our hospitals, taught in our schools and have
been contributing to our society.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Talks ABN nine two is the number six Flick me
one this morning, eight minutes after five David Seymour, it's
anyone else a little bit annoyed by David Seymour at
the moment or have you been annoyed with him since
the election. I'm just feeling a little bit brassed off
at David Seymour. This is supposed to be a libertarian party,
low taxes, small gut, pretty simple stuff, and he's just
(02:49):
not delivering on that front. I mean that is, you
cannot argue with that. He's not delivering on those core
libertarian principles, which is what people voted him in for.
Coalition spending more than Grant Robertson did em debts still
climbing seventy five million extra a day, eh. The Treaty
(03:12):
Bill massive distraction got nowhere.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
Eh.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
The regulation Ministry more bureaucrats and what have they solved?
What problems have they actually solved? And how much has
it cost us to solve them?
Speaker 7 (03:27):
Eh?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I'm getting a bit sick of doing the noise, So
I'll stop doing the noise. But you get the point.
I mean, we paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for
some of these bureaucrats to sit there and find out
what's wrong with the economy where the regulations have gone.
Do we need a whole ministry for that? I don't
think so. I don't think so. And then yesterday you
get the Reglitary Standards Bill and Winston's up and Adam, which,
(03:52):
if you look at it is exactly what David Seymour
would describe as performative politics. If there's not binding, nothing
binding about it. And again you're setting up a regulatory
standards board. Em one more, and that is those are
paid bureaucrats. They are directors on a board telling politicians
(04:14):
what to do, and the politicians can turn around and
just rip the middle finger. So what's the point in it?
What is the point in it? You know, where's where's
my flat tax rate? Why haven't we blown up and
tire government departments or ministries? Why have they not been
abolished yet? What are you doing? It is not the
(04:36):
thing that I thought you were going to do. David Seymour,
eleven after five annoying Doja Cat. Does anyone know Doja Cat?
I'll play some music shortly. Mackenzie's just told me because
we've had lots of gigs in Auckland over the last
couple of weeks, which has been fantastic. There was Metallica,
we had Lenny Kravitz and Doja Cat is one that
young people like, and apparently there's been a lot of
(04:58):
complaints about Doja Cat. I'll tell you who she is
and why you should care in a second. Lots more
to come though. We will also talk about the invidious
situation from yesterday and what it means for the stock market.
And I want to get into the dairy prices because
clearly we had another option this week and down down
down downtown. Clearly the price is going to have to
(05:18):
be revised by Fonterra, in fact began zed yesterday, so
we'll look at that too. Up next, Sonya Rockhouse on
Pike River. Will there be charges soon?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
Bridge and r V Supercenter explore r v's accessories and
servicing all in one News Talksbus.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Talksb It is fourteen minutes after five. Ryan, seems like
the election cycles already started sooner the previous cycles. I
think that is a fair observation, Ryan, I would like
to vote for New Zealand first for the first time
in my life. I like what I hear, but can
I trust them not to go with labor, which is
what I don't want. Well, dear listener, thank you for texting.
(05:58):
I will talk to you about that in about ten
minutes time. Another person, Taylor, says, do the noise, go on,
do the noise. We finished with the noise, Taylor. Fourteen
after five Bride, the lawyer's representing the Pike River families,
think police have enough evidence to lay corporate manslaughter charges
fifteen years after the tragedy. Sonya rock House and Anna
Osborne have called a meeting with Brook van Velden a
(06:19):
complete waste of time. They were at Parliament this week.
Sonya rock House sadly lost her son Ben in the
tragedy and joins me, Now, Sonya, good morning, good morning, Sonya,
Hi are you hello? Good to have you on the program.
Tell me what do you know about these potential charges, Sonya?
Speaker 7 (06:41):
Well, they've always had enough evidence. Like before when the
charges were first talked about with they had enough evidence
way back then, so I don't know. He said a
lot about it. Obviously, the police don't talk to us
about that stuff. So yeah, we just know that there's
(07:06):
been a whole lot of other evidence has been gathered
over the years. They did an extensive forensic scope of
the drift, spent several months doing that and.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yeah, and Sonya, the problem was initially that their work
Safe was doing an investigation, weren't they They were looking
at charges and the police are looking at charges and
the police went, oh, well we can't both charge them,
so you can do it, and then they did a deal.
Speaker 7 (07:39):
Yes, that's correct. So the police were going to charge,
and then WorkSafe said they were going to charge, so
the police backed off and then WorkSafe walked away. So
nobody did it. So and the reason that they yes, exactly,
(08:00):
the reason that they did it was that Peter Whittle's
insurance company paid the family is three point four one
million in exchange for the charges being dropped. So checkbook justice.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Basically, Sonya, do you know if there's new any new
evidence being found or is this all old evidence?
Speaker 7 (08:22):
I don't know. The police, Like I said, the police
haven't talked to us about it, because anything that you
know that we don't want to prejudice possible future prosecutions.
So I all I know is that over the last
few years, up until they that it was settled again,
(08:45):
they collected lots and lots of stuff to put forward
to Crown, the Crown solicitor. So you know, the police,
like us, just have to sit back and wait. Now
they've done their job as best as they can do it,
and we've done everything that we can and now we
(09:05):
just have to sit back and wait for the big decision.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
For the prosecutors. Now, it's been a few years since
I've spoken to you, Sonya. How how are you doing?
Are you ever at peace? I saw you at Parliament
the other day. Is this torture? You know? Is this
still torture every day for you?
Speaker 7 (09:23):
No, it's not torture every day. Yesterday was a tough day.
Anna and I actually went up to Kate I think
it's Kate Shepherd Park in Wellington. Oh, yes, And there's
a seat up there that's been dedicated to Helen Kelly.
So we sat there just before the three point forty
(09:45):
four and then watched it, watch the time, and then
just tailed hands and closed our eyes and thought about
our men because of course we were away and that
felt really strange. But you know, we sort of took
solo from the fact that Anna and I were together,
which we normally are on the anniversary anyway, but just
(10:06):
not up in Wellington, up at Parliament. Yeah. I mean
it's been fifteen years. It still hurts every day. You know,
I've missed out on fifteen years of my son's life.
He was twenty one when he was killed and he
would now be thirty six. So yeah, I think it
(10:28):
still hurts. Of course it hurts, but you learned, you know,
it's just it's just buried there and on days like yesterday,
of course it comes out. But we're still very very
passionate about, you know, getting true justice and accountability that
will never go away. That passion is always there and
the pain as well. So the movie's definitely given us
(10:52):
a little bit of a lift because you know, we're
very proud of it. I don't know whether you've seen
it or not.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Have I interviewed the director as well, and one of them, yes, yeah, no,
great movie, sonya. We have to leave it there. Thank
you for coming on, and best of luck with the
with the prosecutors. You know, I know your fingers and
totally crossed for that. It is nineteen minutes after five.
Speaker 8 (11:18):
Raham Bridge, Now this is I told you about Doja Cat.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
This is Doja Cat. Doesn'tyone know this song? I've definitely
heard it, Kenzy, I've definitely heard it. So she came
here along with all the other acts that are doing
performing in Auckland at the moment or performing around the country.
She's cop some flat for her concert at Spark Arena.
People said, no visuals, poor lighting. She didn't even change outfits,
(11:49):
you know how they meant to do multiple costume changes
and not. She couldn't be bothered and got all this
flack and online. Once people started complaining, she said, I
want Someone said, hopefully she listens to the criticism, and
she replied, I won't and I don't need you. She
doesn't care, does she. Twenty after five News Talks be

up the year in Cardiff against Wales fourteen am Sunday,
our time. If you're wanting to watch or you're wanting
to listen. The Grand Slam dream obviously is over and
Robertson's dropping three of his dropped rather three of his
last eight tests. Josh conferid Form All Black with me
this morning. Morning Josh, good morning. Hell are we oh
(12:42):
not too bad? Lots of changes he's made for Cardiff.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
Look, I guess it's maybe he was always going to
do that. You know, I had a plan and the
idea was that anyone was done and then after that
shift the rest of the crew, but also maybe forced
his hand with injuries and and maybe the team not
(13:07):
performing as well as he wanted it against England. So
he's given people opportunities to make a statement at the
end of.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
The tour, including Ruben Love, who I see starting at fullback.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
Yeah, and it's fantastic. It's I mean, look, everybody's been
asking the question. You know, he's a great player. We
love what he did, what he's done this season, and
and and hoping to see him showcase what skill sets
he's got. And I mean that's that's the public. So
everyone's getting their wish, you know. But at the same time,
(13:43):
all Jordan's been fantastic, you know, so we know how
good he is. And but you know, it'll be interesting
to see the little shuffle around with that respect and
and how I think was on the wing that's right,
So see how that goes and how they how they gel.
(14:03):
I mean, the back three these days should be interchangeable
in terms of position. You know, if someone's in doing
something or done something that you know that a winger
should drop back and fill that that that that role
and you know as as as should you teen and
so it's the game. Just everybody seems to be more
(14:25):
and more adaptable with their role sets, you know, and
be able to interchange. And I think that's just the
modern games.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Josh, we have thirty seconds left, and I apologize to that,
but I want to know what did what talking about
changes the coaching staff, anything needs to change, Well.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
It's going to be I mean, Jason Hollan leaves, so
there's going to be changes anyway. Look, I don't we
do have a tendency to panic, you know, like everything's
kind of new for everybody. You know, they're growing, they're
doing you know, they're trying to make progressions. We can
(15:08):
just you know, clean slate. You know, that's that's what
people decide. But my feeling is it's not jumped the guns.
Let's see what happens. You know, it's a tough role.
It's a new thing to do, and and we're.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Only half way too, We're only halfway. Josh's the other thing.
So the better the devil, you know, I suppose than
the one you don't. Josh Cromfeld form or all Black,
appreciate your time. This morning twenty five after five News Talks.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
He'd be the early edition full the show podcast on
iHeartRadio How News.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Talks a B.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Five twenty seven News Talks, there be Friday morning. Can
you trust Winston Peters not to go with Labor next year?
That is the question on everybody's lips, And the answer
is no, you can't. He hasn't ruled it out. And
remember you will remember that he went with Descender in
twenty seventeen, even though National's got a high proportion of
the vote. Labor has not ruled Winston out. Winston has
not ruled Labor out. Winston has ruled Chippy out. So
(16:05):
all that means is we could see a leadership swap
in the last seven weeks of the campaign, bug of
the unions, and even during negotiations. All these things are possible.
Hopkins is a party man, and if the choice was
opposition for his caucus or the Treasury benches, he would
fall on his sword. So it's a live scenario. Is
Labor and New Zealand first? If they I should say
(16:26):
Labor and New Zealand first get enough to form a
coalition together, wouldn't Winston prefer that to another threesome on
the right. He hates Chippy because of COVID and what
is a woman malfunction at that press conference, But the
party's been working hard to shake the overly wokey, dopey
vibe since then. Also, Winston doesn't like Seymour. And if
(16:46):
there was a chance for him to extract big spending policies,
some regional funding, you know they love that at New
Zealand first, manufacturing energy deals, more gold card benefits, whatever
it might be I reckon, he would go for it.
The scenario becomes much less likely if the Greens and
whatever might be left of Tapati Mardi needing to prop
(17:06):
them up. He hates them much more than he hates
Seymour and would look stupid going into government with a
green handshake and a hongy. The rule with Winston is
pretty simple. All options are on the table, and this
time next year, as summer approaches in the weather warms,
we'll be staking at his beach house and the Crowbar
Villa in Auckland, waiting on the Kingmaker.

Twenty four away from six on your Friday morning, coming
up a full six o'clock. If you're a gang member
in New Zealand right now you're about to get basically
owned by Mexican cartels. Will talk to Black Power member
genness O Riley about that before six o'clock. And also
this Rushy Ukraine peace deal is a non starter. Will
in the UK for that shortly, now, very quickly. A
couple of numbers for you this morning. This is about
(18:12):
the state of the American economy. And in Vidiya yesterday
gave us a good clover, good hint and the markets
are loving it. I think that she is. Were up
four percent just before I came on here this morning,
loving that result from Nvidio. But also we finally get
the job's growth numbers from September. This is the one
delayed by seven weeks because of the government shutdown. Well,
finally we have it, and jeez, she's a cracker taking
(18:33):
off like a rocket. One hundred and nineteen thousand payrolls
added for this is its strongest gain since it's April.
This is full September. And yeah, a little bit late.
Came in a little bit late, but better late than never,
and well above the fifty thousand jobs that economists had predicted.
And we always look at that Wall Street Journal poll
of economists. They had expected fifty thousand, came in one
hundred and nineteen. That's all good.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Ran the bridge.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Twenty three away from six. Now it's going to our
reporter's colum Good morning morning.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Right.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
So, Otago's economy is doing rather well, outpacing the rest
of us.
Speaker 9 (19:06):
That's according to a new report from A and Z,
which explores how Otago's New Zealand's most recession resistant region.
It's got the lowest rate of unemployment. At the same time,
business growth is up forty percent and export values here
tripled since two thousand and two, reaching more than three
billion dollars now. Business and OG Regional manager Cameron Read
(19:27):
says the regions are leading New Zealand's economic recovery, with.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Otago on top.
Speaker 9 (19:31):
He says, Otago's a diversified region from agriculture to tourism
and education, and it's leveraging local strength seeking higher value
export opportunities.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Great.
Speaker 9 (19:40):
How's your weather rain from later this morning? Southerly changed
on the way nineteen the high today.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Thank you Claire's and christ Church clear, good morning. What's
happening with your hummus?
Speaker 7 (19:51):
Ah?
Speaker 10 (19:51):
Yeah, what is happening with our hummers? While food Stuff
South Islands certainly not selling it anymore after they were
fined thirty nine thousand dollars for selling recalled products. These
were the items that were pulled from shelves across the
country in February twenty twenty three. That came after a
supplier advised that a batch of takini, which is used
in hummus, was positive for salmonella. Now, New Zealand Food
(20:14):
Safety Deputy Director General Vincent Arbuckle says food stuff down
Thailand went on to sell another thirty nine units of
the recalled products, while there were no confirmed reports of
anyone getting sick. Ar Buckle says it's very important to
hold food businesses to account in order to lower the
risk for consumers. The company has accepted the penalty which
(20:35):
was ordered by the courts. They say they've reviewed processes,
systems and increased training since.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
And how mus was the fine?
Speaker 10 (20:44):
Thirty nine thousand dollars?
Speaker 11 (20:47):
It was a good one, right.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
No, it wasn't. How's you wear the clear?
Speaker 10 (20:51):
A hot one for our Friday. We've got to mainly
find a Northwesterly's developing and the high will be twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Just shut up, Ryan, Okay, just shut up. Thanks CLEAHIMEX.
Speaker 12 (21:01):
Yeah, don't try don't try that with me, Ryan, Hey,
this is good.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Well, is it going to be scraped or just pause?
The Golden Mile?
Speaker 12 (21:10):
Well, it does seem permanently on ice, which is sort
of blurring the two. This is the Yeah, the Golden Mile.
The very divisive transport plan to remove cars and car
parks from the main artery of the central city Lambton
Key through to Courtney Place. Businesses hate it, some argue
it's necessary to revitalize the CBD. But the new look
(21:32):
Council met yesterday for the first time and we're given
a new cost estimate for the project and it's about
eighty million dollars higher, two hundred and twenty million now.
When it started in twenty twenty, it was seventy eight million,
So it really has ballooned in a few years. So
what do you think happens when bureaucrats get together and
something like this comes up. We're going to get another
review for up to four hundred thousand dollars, another look
(21:55):
at it, another look at the project, the cost benefit, etc.
That'll be new debt at our expense. Yeah, why not
just shelvet Just do it either way. I think the
city's pretty sick of inaction. Courtney Place is a mess.
Do we need to take cars off the street, Probably not,
but we still need to need to do something otherwise.
At the meeting, not much. Racheng got a little bit
of grief for his historic pendulous emails, but no issues
(22:18):
otherwise with the mayors Andrew Little's appointments.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
A few more pendulous breasts on Courtney Place to get
more people down there. I would have thought.
Speaker 12 (22:25):
There's been enough. Yeah, it has the weather mainly find
some strong wind nineteen the heights.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Nice. I need a good morning, good morning. Now you've
got a story for us.
Speaker 11 (22:35):
Yes I have, and I thought I would do this
story because we've been talking about this in the newsroup.
So this is an international story about a bar in
the UK and it has banned annoying solo drinkers from
this pub because you know, the guy sees the owner said, look,
I think they've been doing this for a while, but
they're bothering other patrons and these single people they're not
(22:57):
allowed to go when they're after nine pm because you know,
the leeches.
Speaker 8 (23:01):
And blah blah.
Speaker 11 (23:01):
But it's excuses huge uproar because all single people are saying, hey, hey, hey,
you're putting us all, you know, under the same category.
We're not all like that.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
True, because you could just be single and normal and normal.
Speaker 11 (23:15):
And just want to have a we drinking poo by yourself.
But this is the thing, what we're talking about is
that I admire Carrie Wooden because she can go to
a cafe restaurant for lunch by herself and just take
a book and read the book. And I mean the
place is pecked out.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
I do that? Do you sime with movies? I go
to movies on my own.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Do you go in?
Speaker 11 (23:36):
I can't even have a coffee by myself?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Really, why not?
Speaker 12 (23:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 11 (23:38):
I think I need to be with people.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
I feel like, oh butterfly, but you know, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 11 (23:45):
So it should be encouraged. Oh so you can sit
there for like two or three hours by yourself.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Yeah, quite easy. The thing about the Pesiti people, we
all know the people you're talking about, don't we. You know,
when you're at a bar and there's some guy and
he's just wasted and he's on his own and he's
trying on you, there's a reason that he's on his own. Yeah,
I know, no one wants to hang out with him.
It's right because he's annoying. But I just I think
you have to deal with that on a case by
case basis. If somebody comes in and there annoying, then
(24:10):
you get rid of annoying people rather than all singles.
Speaker 11 (24:12):
Because imagine if you went in there, if I went
and then there, wait, no, you well, and I say,
why are you trying to get rid of me?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (24:17):
You talk too much?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Off you go well see that is there is a
high chance of helpening. How's the weather okay fine?
Speaker 11 (24:24):
Apart from morning cloud it's going to be a hot
one twenty four too hot to go sitting inside a
CAFA by myself.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
That's seventeen minutes away from six News Talk, so'd b.
We're in the UK next. According to six News Talk
said B are the dairy auction results we had this
week obviously weren't good in terms of prices going the
wrong way, down three percent, seven declines in a row
from early August taking the accumulative dropped to thirteen percent
for the year, but it was leading the charge now.
(24:52):
Of course we'll have some revisions from Fonterra, presumably on
their price and payout price, but we had one yesterday
from benz there down to nine dollars fifty from teen
dollars twenty five. Fontira midpoint currently ten dollars. That'll, as
I say, likely come down fourteen to six.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
International correspondence with insin eye insurance peace of mind for
New Zealand business.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
The UK has had a COVID inquiry much like the
one we're having, though I suspect the results might say
the opposite things. This is Boris Johnson's era in joining
Usmenson mechaviny a UK europe correspondent Vincent What does it say.
Speaker 13 (25:26):
Well, it's pretty damning. It's the report that's come out
today on the behavior of the government just for contacts.
Some two hundred and twenty seven thousand people died in
the UK during this period of COVID and the report
says a toxic and chaotic culture in the UK government
affected decision making, adding that then Prime Minister Boris Johnson
(25:47):
both failed to tackle and sometimes actively encourage that toxic
and chaotic culture. It says that he and his government
entirely wasted the month of February, and had they gone
for an earlier move, they could have on restrictions some
by imposing lockdown earlier. Lockdown wouldn't have had to last
for as long, and they believe some twenty three thousand
(26:09):
lives would have been saved in that first wave in England.
It says that the government's planning was too little, too late,
that time was wasted and the lockdown could have been
avoided all together if steps such as social distancing isolation
had been introduced in February. It's a pretty scathing and
damning report. It does say that the vaccine program was
(26:31):
a remarkable achievement that's praised the role out of that,
but ultimately this is a huge damning indictment of Boris
Johnson's legacy as Prime Ministers.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
We've got some Pentagon officials arriving in Kiv talking about
a possible deal that in the war, but it looks
like it's been written drafted by Poshan himself as very
one sided.
Speaker 13 (26:49):
By the sounds yeah, I mean, it sounds like it
could have been facts from the Kremlin. It basically calls
for Ukraine, we think, to give up around twenty percent
of its territory and a huge demands like downscaling its
military and no longer having access to certain weapons. So
it is very unclear from this twenty eight point draft
plan that it's emerged drafted by Wickoff, the senior Trump
(27:13):
aide who is incredibly inexperienced when it comes to international affairs,
and his Russian counterpart reportedly in a Miami hotel room
earlier this month. The draft, I think is not going
to go down well with anyone in Europe, and I
think we're going to hear probably from President Dolensky later on,
just saying that he cannot sign up to these demands
after almost four years of war, the demands of his people,
(27:37):
the people who have died in this conflict. This would
simply be healing over and bowing to Russia. And I
think there will be huge pushback from Europe because if
Vladimir Pusin thinks that he can get away with this
in Ukraine, we already seen him testing out defenses around
the rest of Europe. He's been putting drones up over
various airports in Belgium and Denmark. He's got a ship
(27:57):
of his Shadow Fleet currently just British waters, we think
mapping out under sea infrastructure. So I think Europe is
going to say no, we cannot cave like this. It
will embolden him.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Appreciate your time, Vincent mcaviniy aw UK Europe correspondent time
is eleven minutes away from six Bryant Bridge, So game
Patch ban, We're one year on, six hundred and forty
three items seized, eight hundred and fifty six charges, one
hundred and eighty eight convictions, thirty eight thousand fewer victims
of serious violent crime. Dennis o'reiley's lifetime Black Power member
and community advocate with me this morning, Dennis, Good morning,
(28:28):
Good morning, sir. Has it been a success.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Well, I think a reduction in the number of victims
is a good thing. Firearms up the street is a
good thing. And not too sure about the seige of clothing.
You can get stuff on Temu if you want. It's
behavior that counts. But no, this span has been the
pitch bean has been well implemented. Paradoxically, it's by the
(28:52):
very same leadership team that's been vilified very much. And
you know, mister Basham was the guy that stared that,
and I suppose it's under the direction of mister Costa.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
And Tania Kurra.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
So it must seem like a I know it's the
fagship policy for the government, and it must seem a
bit like a bit of a turd sandwich. But yes,
it has worked.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
You take the sandwich and just leave the turd on
the side. How about the what's on the ground like
gang members? What is their life like without a patchhorn?
Does it do they? Does it change dynamics?
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Well, in the main, I think most people are quite
happy about it, not annoying the public and not annoying
each other as much. Now there's a bit of betwixt
and between, and I was really hoping that we'd be
able to put a lot more effort into Remember this
is not only the sort of anniversary of the Patch band,
(29:53):
it's also the anniversary of the apology by the government
for abuse and state care. And when we talk about
gangs in New Zealand, we sort of think about Horry
and hemy lurking down at the mall. But we've got
real gangs now, We've got cartels bringing in methamphetamine and
(30:14):
unprecedented quantities into the country, and we need.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
To sort out what are you What have you been
telling the members that you speak to about the Mexicans.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Well, not just the Mexicans. Well, I'm saying that they
will recruit the sons and daughters and grandsons and granddaughters
of the of the current gang Farno. They'll promise them
the world through North American hyper materialism. But the only
(30:46):
way they'll get to enjoy it is from six feet.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Under Dennis o'reiley, former Black Power member, in fact, lifetime
Black Power member community advocate. Time is eight to six
news talk, said.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Big Ryan Bridge on early edition with r V Supercenter
explore RVs eccessories and servicing all in one NEWSTALKSB News TALKSB.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
It is six minutes away from six. The Russians have
been using telegram, which is like a WhatsApp group that
you can go on and it's all private, using telegram
to go and recruit teenagers inside Ukraine. Ukrainian teenagers get
them to go blow stuff up, and they've got Russian
handlers who will pay them about three and a half
thousand dollars to go blow up a van and they
(31:29):
will live stream. It's that the teenager live streams the
whole thing happening. The handler then pushes the button remotely
as soon as someone gets into the van of a
high ranking official whatever it might be, blows them up.
They reckon. The Ukrainians reckon. Hundreds of kids and teenagers
are being recruited via telegram to do acts of sabotage.
Five to six day and bread Rich Friday Morning. Mike's here, Morning, Mike.
Speaker 8 (31:52):
Do you know what the biggest growth industry in Ukraine is?
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Drones?
Speaker 8 (31:55):
Yes, and mom and dads at home making drones these days.
It's like a mass of mom and pop drone makers.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
They want to sell us some of their drones. They've
been coming here to try and do some deals. Well
we didn't.
Speaker 8 (32:07):
One of the great stories of the year, I think
is that when the Prime Minster went to Britain sometimes
during the year I can't remember when, remember that we
discovered that there's a Toweronger company, yes, that makes very
high tech drones and sells them to the British and stuff.
And I mean those are the sort of stories that
we don't hear enough of in this country.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
See.
Speaker 8 (32:24):
I discovered a coffee roasting machine this week, right, and
we make it in Dunedin, and we make drones and
tower on it and we make coffee roasting machines in Dunedin.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
So we manufacture them here.
Speaker 8 (32:33):
No we don't, Well, yes we do. And that's the problem.
The problem I discovered this week is that we make
we make virtually nothing in this country as manufacturers, and
yet the stuff we do make is world leading. So
that then would lead you to ask the question, would
it not if we can make stuff that's world leading,
because it's the quantity quality thing, right, So we're never
going to do quantity, so we'll do quality. Well, if
(32:54):
we can make the very best of something? Why don't
we make the very best of more stuff?
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Well? Good question. I was actually thinking about this yesterday,
which is always dangerous. But you know Ai and you
know robots. Do we the race to the bottom in
terms of labor costs and manufacturing countries like China? Does
that matter anymore? Could we build factories here that are robotic?
You know? If we have a good coffee machine out
of to Needen, can we not scale that up with
(33:21):
free labor?
Speaker 8 (33:22):
These are all good questions, right. I don't know why
we're not running the country. It's shown me your show
is coming because I feel you're getting better as the
show's gone on now and it's just coming to an.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
End, you know, Mike, I got a text about of
five point thirty nine texts came in Good Morning Mike,
which I'm still on air at this point, so they
don't care. They've moved off from you, Like, could you
let Ryan know I really enjoyed his quality shows the
last two mornings, cheers.
Speaker 8 (33:42):
That's good will. You're only here for two mornings, weren't
you this week?
Speaker 2 (33:45):
I was doing drive Mike.
Speaker 8 (33:47):
No, I'm just saying, so both mornings you turned up.
Somebody liked it.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Yeah, so that's worth what they obviously didn't like. Whoever
was Happy Friday, everyone, Mike's here next. See you Monday.
