Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good afternoon. I'm railing Ramsey. This is your afternoon news
fixed for Friday, the fifteenth of November. For the first
time in New Zealand history, two lawyers have been granted
name suppression. The Court of Appeals today allowed name suppression
for the pair who represented the christ Church mosque shooter
last year in an appeal of his conviction and sentence

(00:24):
that express safety concerns over being connected to him. Wellington
barrister Graham Edgeless says it will set a precedent but
likely stay exceedingly rare.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
It is now clear that the law which allows courts
to give name suppression to victims or witnesses, and occasionally
to defendants, can now also, in the right circumstances give
name suppression to lawyers if needed.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
The HIKOI is continuing through route to do it to
Hastings as it passes the halfway point. About ten thousand
people have joined the march today protesting the Treaty. Principal's
Bill Acts controversial legislations passed its first reading with support
from National and New Zealand first route through a Daily
Post Senior reporter Kelly Makiha is at the Hecoy and

(01:08):
spoke to the thro A lead fellon Flavel, who was
proud of how many people turned out.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
She said the work doesn't stop there. It's got to continue,
and she was telling the crowd, you know now as
a time to put into action, getting on the multi
role and working to make change.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Donald Trump's lauding his decision to nominate vaccine skeptic Robert F.
Kennedy Junior for a leading health role in his administration.
The president elects today selected Kennedy as the Secretary of
the Department of Health and Human Services. It's a controversial pick,
with Kennedy known for his health related conspiracy theories. Today,

(01:45):
Trump's outlined his expectations for Kennedy at the marri Lago
Club in Florida.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
We want you to come up with things and ideas
and what you've been talking about for a long time.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Trump's also boasted about his presidential win, saying his turn
should have started on election day. Concern interest in local
government will dwindle further with fourteen community papers on the
chopping block. N z ME, which runs news Talk z B,
is proposing the closure of the North Island papers with

(02:16):
at least thirty jobs on the line local Government New
Zealand suggests the government should expand the Local Democracy Reporting
program nationwide. President Sam Broughton says local media is a
much needed voice for ratepayers and councils.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
Thinking about elections next year and people's concern about councils
and the way the councils perform and who they're going
to at least to be a part of that, I
think having local stories available to communities is important.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Wet weathers dampning ticket sales for the final day of
christ Church's Cup Week at Ricketton Park Racecourse tomorrow. Around
fifteen thousand people attended Cup Day at Addington Raceway on Tuesday.
Ricketton Park Racecourse Chief Executive To Mells says in previous
years that already be.

Speaker 5 (02:59):
So we've decided to open a ticket poose tomorrow on Saturday,
so that anyone that wakes up on Sunday morning and
goes gee that weather forecast is nowhere near as bad
as they said it was, they can still rock out
to Reckon in Sport.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Retiring pacetbowler Tim Southey says it was a childhood dream
to represent New Zealand, but now's the right time to
bow out of Test cricket following the upcoming home series
against England in December. The All Blacks will wear their
alternate white jerseys against France on Sunday morning for the
first time in three years. The Silver Ferns are starting

(03:34):
at an empty January Test window, staring, I should say,
at an empty January Test window. With a six month
gap in their calendar, with no Nation's Cup and a
shortened A and Z Premiership, I'm railing Ramsey. That is
your latest news fix. We'll be back with the next
update tomorrow morning from the news Talk ZEDB newsroom.
