Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good afternoon. I'm Susanne Ordquist. This is your midday news
fix for Wednesday, the twenty eighth of August. A psychologist
is calling on the public to block and report account
sharing the aftermath of Monday's horror crash on Auckland's Southern motorway.
Police are slamming the live streams of the crash that
killed three people near Rama Rama that included close ups
(00:26):
of the dead in the van. Clinical psychologist Google Sutherland
says the public have the power to discourage the behavior.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
The last thing we want to do is comment on
their social media posts, even if it's negative, because that
will just feed the algorithm and make them more and
more popular, which is what helps drive some of that behavior.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
BNZ expects house prices to remain flat this year, then
left by seven percent over twenty twenty five. They don't
think declines and mortgage rates will cause an immediate jump
in the housing market. Chief economist Mike Jones says, it
to you means to take a while for lower mortgages
to feed through to confidence and prices. Concerns over students
(01:07):
easily accessing disturbing content at primary schools despite online safety measures,
online harm Researchers have found pornography, sexualized animal content and
self harm videos on school issued iPads at six Auckland
primary schools. Government funded software network for learning block sites,
(01:27):
but it doesn't felt its specific content. Parenting educator Hollybrookers
says the experiment shows the system isn't working and most
people have no idea. Definitely the experience that we've found
talking with lots of different teachers and principleses, there is
an assumption that the platforms are safe, the devices are safe,
and they're not. The police minister says the will of
(01:47):
justice is turning too slowly. Following a major seizure of
gang assets. After a ten year investigation and core process,
the Headhunter's Gang is being ordered to forfeit fifteen million
dollar dollars in properties and assets. Mark Mitchell says the
court's ruling sends a clear message to gangs, but could
have happened sooner.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
We're constantly sort of scanning the horizon and looking legislation
and seeing whether or not it needs improvements, specially in
justice and public safety.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
There are growing frustrations in Graymouth, where a hilltop community
remains isolated because of a major slip About fifty homes
have been cut off since Sunday night, while Gray District
Council staff work on the active slip. Local Rory Radult
Pofarti says the road reopened for a few residents to
get down the hill yesterday afternoon, and then when they
(02:38):
got down, then they came back they were told them
they couldn't come back out, so some of their cars
are still sitting again at the bottom of the hill
and moure rain is forecast for the area for the
next four days and is expected to hamper recovery efforts.
To sport now and some key upsets so far. On
the second day of the US Tennis Open, he is
Craig Gabrielle from New York.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
And that's between two major winners. Naomi Osaka is accounted
for Elena Ostapenker sixt three sixty two, while the reigning
world number one Eiger Schwantek was given a bit of
a test by Kamilla Rakimov six four to seven six
and former Australian Open finalist Danielle Collins has crashed out
in her final US Open to Caroline Dolarhyde. The nassikochinarchis
has upset the eleven seats. Stefanos Sitsapas and Janick Sinner
(03:22):
has rebounded after losing the first set to meet Mackenzie McDonald.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Olympic high jump champion Hamish Kerr has ended his track
and field season. He was out of sorts in his
first meet since claiming gold at Paris, finishing ninth at
the Diamond Leg meet in Poland on Monday with the
best clearance of two point one eight meters that was
eighteen centimeters short of his game's mark. I'm Susie Nordquest
(03:46):
and that's your latest news fix. We will be back
with a next update at five pm from the News
talksi bin news room.
