Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good morning. I'm never ready, Manu, and this is your
morning news fix for Tuesday, ninth of July. In this update,
questions over whether departed Green MP Darlene Tana will keep
her salary. Tana has resigned from the party and is
being asked to leave Parliament all together by her now
former caucus colleagues. A report was returned on Friday into

(00:25):
alleged migrant exploitation at her husband's business, and the caucus
met on Saturday. Tana's been suspended on full pay for
one hundred and fifteen days, more than half of her
MP career, earning over forty thousand dollars in that time.
Co leader Chloe Swawbrick faced questions over whether Tana should
paint back.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
I'd say that that's a very appropriate question for you
to ask her.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Susy Wilds feels vindicated by the judge's decisions in her
employment dispute with Auckland University. The prominent microbiologist had filed
claims the university did not protect her from a tsunami
threat she received as a public facing academic during the
COVID pandemic. The employment courts awarded her twenty thousand dollars
in damages and noted some breaches of health and safety,

(01:10):
while says it's been a long road to get to
this point, but she's feeling positive about the outcome and
the points the judge made. Inevitable division will come into
France's parliamentary gridlock. The new left wing Alliance and President
Macron's Centrists have pushed the right wing National Rally to
third place, but none of the parties is enough seats

(01:31):
for a majority. Macron's requested Prime Minister Gabriel Attal stay
in the role for now. Former Auckland University politics professor
Stephen Hoadley says France is entering a turbulent period which
could be marked with more strikes, violence and crime. There
is a three way split in society as well as
in the National Assembly. They are of parliament and that

(01:52):
is going to be very difficult to bridge over. Meanwhile,
the Prime Minister's Washington, d C bound as he heads
to the US for the annual NATO summit. Christopher Luxen
left last night and is expected to touch down later
this afternoon. Political editor Jason Walls's traveling with the Prime minister.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Tropical storm Beryl disrupted Luckson's travel plans. He was meant
to fly into Houston, then onto Washington, but was waylaid
to San Francisco first. Nevertheless, Luxon's planning on meeting a
number of top lawmakers, including Republican Senator Tad Cruz and
Democrat John Ossof. He's also planning on sitting down with
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Truelleau and is hoping to meet

(02:30):
with President Joe Biden at some point during his trip.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Expect more security at Auckland's public transport hubs over the
school holidays. Police and Auckland Transport are working together, deploying
extra staff at Hibiscus Coast and Albany stations as well
as the new Lynn and Henderson Interchanges. It'll focus on
violent and intimidatory behavior, alongside police Operation Home Madou, which
targets offenders in western areas. In sport, the return of

(02:56):
goal shoot Amelia Walmsley in mid quarter Maddie Gordon from
Inies has howed the Polse beat the Magic fifty three
forty eight in the A and Z Premiership Netball match
at Hamilton. Michael Venus and his tennis partner Neil Skupsky

(03:16):
and the NRL has ruled the Warriors should have received
a penalty for a late tackle by Jayme and Salmon
Onto Mighty Martin during their golden point loss to the Bulldogs.
