Good afternoon. I'm welcome Jordan, and this is your midday
news fix for Monday, the first of December. Prime Minister
Chris Luckson's batting away speculation New Zealand's scaling back of
climate commitments could impact our trade. Our free trade deals
with partners like the EU and the UK require our
cooperation around climate change. The governments this year overturned our
(00:25):
ban on new oil and gas exploration, instead reopening applications,
and lowered our methane emissions target. Luxon told Mike Costing,
no one has raised concerns with him.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
We're in the top ten countries in the world in
terms of renewable energy. Most people are still coal powered powerstations.
Until everyone gets that position, then I won't really listen
too much to others.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
The government says it's working on how to move homeless
people out of CBDs ahead of an imminent announcement. It
signaled last month it was considering measures to allow police
to enforce move on orders. Prime Minister Chris Luckson says
they're getting advice quickly and an announcement should be made
before Christmas. He told Mike Costking. They need to figure
out what happens when people are sent away, something the
(01:08):
Minister for Auckland and Mayor of Auckland have been looking at.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Having said that Simon Brown and Wayne Brown actually came
together last week and actually put together quite a good
action plan.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
A professional firefighters union boss claims Fire and Emergency has
breached good faith bargaining pay talks have dragged on for
more than sixteen months. Fire and Emergency Deputy Chief Executive
Meghan Stiffler says they value their people and will continue
to work in good faith towards a fair deal, but
union christ Church President Aaron Mackay says Stiffler broke good
(01:41):
faith by announcing Fire and Emergencies proposed offer publicly before
consulting the union. It was just a number on a whiteboard,
was never presented, yet Meghan Stiffler deem it fit to
announce to the nation what their offer is. I find
that highly offensive and absolutely disgusting. An anti smoking group
says young people don't think that vaping's call as it
used to be. Action on Smoking at Health has released
(02:04):
the results of its survey asking more than thirty thousand
year ten students about smoking habits. It shows seven point
one percent vape daily down from the ten percent peak
in twenty twenty two, and less than a third have
tried it. ASH chair Robert Bigelhol says government policy at
the time played a big role. There's no question that
(02:24):
we lost two or three years before the regulations came
into effect, and since then in twenty twenty one, they
have been increasingly timed. A tenant advocacy group says new
pet bond laws should have been written more specifically. Under
legislation taking effect today, landlords may only refuse a tenant
keeping a pet on reasonable grounds. They can charge an
(02:47):
extra bond of up to two weeks rent to cover
damage that pets may cause. Renter's United president Luke Somervel
says the terminology could cause issues.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
I think reasonable grounds are still too vague. I think
that it should have been spelled out much clearer. It's
still open to interpretation.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
To Sport Prior for Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca. In a
hard earned point in football's Premier League, the Blues have
survived nearly an hour with ten men to draw one
all away to leaders Arsenal. The Formula One Championship race
will come down to next week's season ending Abu Darby
Grand Prix. Max Verstappen has won the penultimate race and
(03:27):
cutter ahead of Oscar Piastre second and Carlos Signs third.
A New Zealand double at the season opening Dubai World
Seven Series tournament, with both teams beating Australia in their
respective finals. I'm Malcolm Jordan. That's your latest news fix.
We'll be back with the next update at five pm
from the news Talk zb newsroom.
