morning USWIX for Wednesday, twenty third of October. In this update,
Torri Farno wants the government to pay for its Crown observer.
Simeon Brown announced yesterday the Government stepping in with an
observer to help the Wellington City Council with what he
calls its financial mismanagement. The law states the council has

(00:25):
to pay for the observer, but Farno says it's not
a cost they want. She says she's going to ask
the government to foot the bill. I mean, I'll give
it a crack. We'll see, but I think from a
legislative perspective it has to be us. But I'm still
waiting on advice for that. Frustration over police numbers. After
a major operation to dismantle gang influence in Eastern Bay
of Plenty, overall police arrested twenty eight people across the

(00:48):
North Island with links to the Mongrel Mob Barbarians or
Porto Key Chapter. Fourteen have already appeared in totaling A
District Court and thirteen more are expected today. Or Porto
Key's me at David Moore says the gang members are
sure to return eventually and wants a bolstered force. No
secret I've made at mine before.

Speaker 2 (01:06):

lack of police anyway, but to see the police and town.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Obviously they knew something was happening. The Youth Justice facility
where a group of teens climbed onto the roof, had
safety and well being issues raised earlier this year. The
thirteen got onto the roof of Widdy's caught a white
manarki on Monday night before coming down in dribs and
DRAMs yesterday. Ordunger Tamadiki's Ian Chapman says the group will
be held criminally accountable for damage to the facility, but

Signs of economic recovery look to be turning the dial
on retailer's mood. Retail Ins's quarterly survey finds sixty five
percent of retailers feel confident or very confident their business
will survive the next twelve months. It finds fifty seven
percent to think they'll meet or exceed their targets for
the final quarter, even after seventy percent failed to meet

(02:09):
their last sales targets. Chief executive Carolyn Young says AT
retailers are expecting more consumer confidence from recent OCR cuts
and falling inflation. David Seymour says new school lunches will
surpass expectations. The Associate Education Minister says the program will
save one hundred and thirty million dollars a year. Seventeen
Kiwi supplies and manufacturers are involved in the program, which

(02:30):
will offer children twenty different options. They include butter chicken,
tied chicken curry, and rice bean burritos. Seymour says he's picky,
but the butter chickenese tried metza's standards. Thought about this,
I thought, you know what, David, no matter what it
tastes like, you've got to say it's great. But this
genuinely is great. In sport, the hockey and triathlon national
bodies have reacted with mixed feelings to the AXINC from

(02:53):
