Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good afternoon. I'm railing Ramsey. This is your afternoon news
fix for Wednesday, the ninth of April. The Reserve Bank
says it's not clear how global trade wars will affect
New Zealand. It's cut the official cash rate and other
twenty five basis points to three and a half percent,
with banks immediately responding by lowering advertised home loan rates.
(00:25):
It's against a backdrop of Donald Trump's widespread tariffs, including
a jaw dropping one hundred and four percent for China
coming into effect today. Finance Minister Nikola Willis says the
Monetary Policy Committee is divided on what the tariffs mean
for US. As events are unfolding and uncertainty of bounds,
people will have slightly different views on which way this
(00:47):
is all going to land. Green MP Benjamin Doyle has
addressed media. It's their first appearance since going to ground
after being bombarded by extreme threats relating to their social
media activity. Posts from the u s MP's private account
included Instagram captions the Prime Minister has described as an
appropriate Doyle says they didn't expect such baseless and violent
(01:09):
attacks and want it to bring their full self to Parliament.
This is why when I was advised by the party
to delete the page before coming to Parliament, I chose
not to. I can admit that I was politically naive.
Winston Peters says it's a no brainer to use New
Zealand wool in government buildings. From July, new bills worth
(01:30):
more than nine million dollars and refurbishments with a price
tag topping one hundred thousand must use Kiwi wool where possible.
As part of the coalition agreement. In January, Housing agency
Kying Order reversed its price based decision to not use
Darra wool products in Seid. First Leader says for too
long the price tag has been the focus, not where
(01:52):
a product is from. Other smart countries like Ireland elsewhere
look for their own self sufficiency or a placement of
imports if they can possibly do it with their own product,
that just makes sense. Wellington Central MP Tamitha Paul is
not backing down from her comments on police, reiterating many
communities are at higher risk of being arrested and imprisoned.
The Green MP has been pressured for weeks after saying
(02:15):
beat police just throw away homeless people's items. And that
Wellingtonians don't want to boosted visible presents in Parliament today.
Paul says many communities don't feel safer with police around,
including Mardi Pacifica and women that as a group of
people I am proud to represent and I don't care
if I'm the only person in this house with the
(02:35):
balls to represent those communities. A christ Urach restauranteur has
been placed on six months home detention and find twenty
thousand dollars for selling recalled food. Samurai Bowl owner jen
chen Yelou pleaded guilty to a charge under the Food
Act in November over unsafe levels of bacteria found in
(02:56):
frozen meals, and the Police Association is defeat the strategy
around mental health call outs. From Monday, four of twelve
police districts will enter Stage two of the plan begun
in November. Changes include police only staying in emergency departments
for an hour maximum. The Mental Health Foundation says that's unsafe.
