5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 2: is great to be with you this morning. Lots to

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 2: get through. Another one has bitten the dust. This is

7
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 2: pan Pack, a Kiwi timber manufacturer. They've had to hold

8
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 2: their pulp production. And this is Hawk's Bay energy prices.

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: We're talking about that again and what can the government

10
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 2: actually do about it. That's at five twenty, although we

11
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,400

Speaker 2: you there live and after five thirty persons really angry.

16

17
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 2: across the border into the Kurtsk region and despite him

18
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: saying that they've managed to push them back, apparently it's

19
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 2: all lies. We'll look into that. Two seven after five.

20
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:08,160

24
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: gold medal by less than a second.

25
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 4: The bows are now back in front for New Zealand.

26
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 5: It's Carrington lifting the.

27
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 4: Right, the black boat keeping its nose in front of Germany.

28
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 4: They can see the finish line.

29
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 6: It is gold for New Zealand.

30
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,640

32
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 2: and Great Britain will cross live for that very shortly. Also,

33
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: the inter island of Ferry at Teddy is out of

34
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: service again after heaving a link span while docking and

35
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: Wellington KiwiRail says overnight repairs are underway to the damage,

36
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 2: which is above the water line. It's expected the addit

37
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: Teddy will return to the service a full service over

38
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,760

41
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 3: News talk z It'd be.

42
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: I love listening to Neva and the news just after

43
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 2: five o'clock, calling that what did she say, a slight

44
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: bump to the link span or a slight incursion onto

45
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: the link span. The media is saying crash. What do

46
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 2: you say? Is this a media beat up? You would

47
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: have seen it on the news last night, and no doubt, hey,

48
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: you may not have seen this. This is from the

49
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 2: Herald this morning, and it's music to my ears because,

50
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: like most Auckland as, I hate Walkland Transport. I just don't.

51
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: I just don't like the organization. I think it's useless. Plus,

52
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: whenever you get a fine or a ticket for parking

53
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: in the wrong place, it's got their name on it

54
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 2: at the band. The branding's all bad anyway. Auckland meyor

55
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: Wayne Brown wants to quote de throw Auckland Transport. He

56
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: wants to strip away the unelected board members the powers

57
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: that they've got and put elected representatives in full control

58
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 2: of this so that it's not just faceless men doing

59
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 2: and women presumably doing the dirty work. He's outlined his

60
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: intentions for reforms in an exclusive statement to the Herald today,

61
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 2: So go and pick up your heralds. We actually have

62
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 2: counselor Daniel Newman on the show to talk about the

63
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: water reforms just before six, so we'll hit him up

64
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: with what are his thoughts on what Wayne Brown is saying.

65
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 2: It's just gone nine after five, lots more to come.

66
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: The first word on the News of the Day early

67
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 3: edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture

68
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: beds and a play a store.

69
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: News Talk said, be just gone eleven after five year.

70
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: On news Talk said be great to have your company

71
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: this morning. Nine two nine two is the number to

72
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 2: texts right now. Children's Minister Karen Shaw has handed Udanga

73
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: Tamadiki a new set of instructions to keep the agency

74
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: accountable and transparent. She's outlined five new measures she expects

75
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 2: to be reported on every quarter. They include things like

76
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: how many children in care access a social worker in

77
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: a two month period. Addressing youth offending, she wants to

78
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 2: see a fifteen percent cut in the persistent offending. The

79
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: Blue Light Operations manager Rod Bella is with us this morning. Rod,

80
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 2: Good morning, thanks for being on the program. You're obviously

81
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: your charity does do great work. You run youth camps

82
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 2: and programs and support with alongside police for young people.

83
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: I just wonder with all the cuts that the government's

84
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 2: making at the moment. Have you guys been affected by those.

85
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 7: We have been a little bit, but you get on

86
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 7: and you continue to make a positive impact. At least

87
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 7: we have lost some of our programs. You know, we've

88
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 7: shown that our programs have an investment of seven dollars

89
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 7: tens every dollar invested, so that that does has impacted us,

90
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 7: but most importantly it impacted some of our services.

91
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, what does it meant for your services? What have

92
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: you had to cut back?

93
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 7: It's probably unfortunately in the proactive area. So are we

94
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 7: still doing a lot of work with young people who

95
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 7: have been in trouble and working to make sure that

96
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 7: they get back and get into work and get into

97
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 7: more positive outputs. But some of the programs which are

98
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 7: before young people get into trouble as the ones that

99
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 7: have been affected, which is really would much prefer to

100
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 7: see that happen before they get in trouble rather than

101
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 7: wait to work with them once they are.

102
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: So coming to these goals that the ministers set for ot,

103
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 2: you know, fifteen percent reduction in young people serious persistent offending.

104
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 2: I mean the fact that you've had funding cut to

105
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 2: a program that's going to achieve exactly that outcome seems

106
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 2: counterintuitive to me.

107
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, it does. Look I think the outline measures are

108
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 7: pretty basic in a way, and they should be what's

109
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 7: been written. It should happen automatically. You would think there's

110
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 7: nothing in there I see of particularly complication. We all

111
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 7: want our kids to wake up healthy and safe and

112
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 7: well and not none of them get hurt and be

113
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 7: well looked after if they have to be in care.

114
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 7: But you know, the fifteen percent reduction, that's great. Sometimes

115
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 7: figures are figures. I think what you need is to

116
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 7: have people feel in the community that we're safe.

117
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Rod, thank you so much for that. Rodboll,

118
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 2: the operations manager at Blue Light, responding there to Karen

Speaker 2: after five year on news Talk, said b and we

121
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: are going live to the track cycling the women's Karen

122
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 2: Final with Elise Andrews, who was first in the semi finals.

123
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 2: Here it is.

124
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 4: Followed out by the.

125
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 5: German Hinds up.

126
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 4: And then she has in the field the Dutch rider

127
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 4: Hetti Fundeval, as well as the Mexican Daniella Haxola Gonzalez.

128
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 4: Katie Marchant of Britain and Emma Finucan of Britain who

129
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 4: have already proved their pedigree, and the team sprints. Of course,

130
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 4: Andrews getting the silver there with their teammates, but the

131
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 4: Brits powering home for gold, particularly Finucan, who will be

132
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 4: of major concern. They come around now four laps to go,

133
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 4: the journey rider just getting up to pace, a bit

134
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 4: of jostling at the back. Already it's Andrews is currently

135
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 4: and second as the journey leaves the track, and she holds.

136
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 5: That second spot from over.

137
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 4: The Mexican goes to the front, Gonzales and the Dutch

138
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 4: rider front of her is in third. But Andrew's just

139
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 4: in the one one if you like. She's moved up

140
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 4: to the front. Now sixty five kilometers in our two

141
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 4: laps to go.

142
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 5: They work their way round to the back straight.

143
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 4: Andrew's still in front, but she's got to hold it,

144
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 4: Elise Andrews. You hear the bell A lap to go now,

145
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 4: Elise Andrew's on the inside and up, but she's got

146
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 4: the brick coming around.

147
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 5: It's like I said, in the form of Finuken.

148
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 4: The power goes on can Alise Andrews holders she comes

149
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 4: down towards the finishing line.

150
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 5: Alise Andrews on the line. It looks like she's one gold.

151
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:40,479
Speaker 4: Alease Andrew's intense, incisive, invincible at the Paris Valodrome.

152
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 5: Too much power and too much panache.

153
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 4: She is triumphed and she is elated.

154
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 5: She pumps her fists in.

155
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 4: The air, black gloved fists, and the crowd respond that.

159
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 2: Si'd be huge. Congratulations to Elise Andrews who has taken

160
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 2: gold this morning in the women's care and final. She

161
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 2: held the lead over the last two laps and she

162
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 2: beat Mexico and Great Britain. Well done, congratulations. Nineteen minutes

163
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 2: after five now and we're looking at energy. The Finance

164
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 2: Minister along with the Energy Minister are looking at urgent advice.

165
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 2: What can we do about this wholesale electricity price spike

166
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 2: which has just gone through the roof. I mean it's nuts,

167
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 2: really when you talk about the numbers sitting at around

168
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 2: seven hundred dollars per megawatt in late twenty twenty one,

169
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 2: it was at around one hundred dollars per megawatt. As

170
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 2: a result of these prices, multiple large scale businesses are

171
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 2: halting their operations. Actually the latest is pan Pack in

172
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 2: Hawke's Bay forest products they do. They export pulp product

173
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 2: to India and China. They've halted their operations. Cost of

174
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: electricity outweighs profit. Joining me is Energy Resources Altered. Chief

175
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 2: Executive John Carnegie, John, good morning, Good morning. First of all,

176
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 2: why is it that we that the spike is happening

177
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: and not happening in other places like in Canada for example.

178
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 2: And it's interesting looking at pan Pack they point to

179
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 2: Canada their biggest competitor in terms of the products they're making.

180
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 2: Their electricity index WHENT up twenty percent since twenty eighteen.

181
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 2: Ours is up two hundred percent.

182
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 8: Well, look, I guess what we're seeing in Actually the

183
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 8: most painful way is how reliant our economy is on

184
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 8: natural gas and how important you know, you probably wonder

185
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 8: why I'm talking about natural gas for electricity, but how

186
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 8: important it is to our electricity system. About twenty percent

187
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 8: of our produced gas is used in the electricity market,

188
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 8: and about ten percent of all electricity generator using the

189
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 8: users gas and of course that might be used to

190
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 8: your listeners, but it's a real problem if gas production reduces,

191
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 8: which it has been quite dramatically, and when you combine

192
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 8: that with extremely low lake levels, you know, we've got

193
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 8: some of the driest conditions we've ever ever seen, combined

194
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 8: with insufficient gas five power stations which are used to

195
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 8: hold the system together when the lakes are low. Well,

196
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 8: then I guess you'd call that the perfect storm.

197
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: What do you know the government's looking at things like

198
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 2: importing AL and G. What do you make of that?

199
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 7: Oh?

200
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 8: I think aling is probably a very useful backup option,

201
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 8: but there are a range of other solutions that I

202
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 8: think that they should also be working on as well.

203
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: How long just on aller G, How long before we

204
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 2: would actually see that if we started importing it making

205
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 2: a difference here to that market?

206
00:11:55,400 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 8: I mean, it's that's quite quite difficult to answer, but

207
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 8: I think you're talking you're talking around about twelve months,

208
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,599
Speaker 8: twelve after eighteen months possibly and it's not an insignificant

209
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 8: piece of investment. You know, we're talking hundreds.

210
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,359
Speaker 7: Of millions of dollars.

211
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 8: But you know, one of the solutions I think if

212
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 8: you're wanting to help bring down prices back to long

213
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 8: run averages, is actually just getting more gas into our system,

214
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 8: natural gas, and that's actually most likely probably going to

215
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 8: come through our existing gas producers who have the infrastructure,

216
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 8: the workforce and the knowledge, but actually just need assurances

217
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 8: from the government that their investments aren't going to be

218
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 8: undercut by future government policy changes like they were in

219
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 8: twenty eighteen.

220
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 2: But that's the hard thing, right, I mean, it's a democracy.

221
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 2: We vote people and we vote them out, and when

222
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 2: the next labor lot come in, I mean, you know,

223
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 2: you saw what they did last time. So how can

224
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 2: businesses have confidence to invest?

225
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 8: Well, I guess that cuts to one of the solutions

226
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 8: that I'm going to propose and have been proposing, and

227
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 8: that's us working our way back to political bipartisanship to

228
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 8: ensure in New Zealand's energy security. Frankly, we should never

229
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 8: be putting our country in this situation where we can't

230
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 8: take care of our people. Industries closing and communities being

231
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 8: devastated by job losses is not a part of an

232
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 8: energy future, thankfully, that I thought I would ever see

233
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 8: and I hope never to see again. Actually, this isn't

234
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 8: a political game. Actually, this is about livelihoods and jobs.

235
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 2: John, Thanks for your time. John Carnegie, the Energy Resources

236
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 2: out to ARCHIEV executive saying we need bipartisanship when it

237
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 2: comes to our electricity sector. He's got a point, doesn't

238
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 2: he need? You need confidence. Businesses need confidence to invest

239
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 2: in order to make sure that the demand is met

240
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 2: so that we're not in this mess every time the

241
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 2: hydrolate levels are down. It is twenty four minutes after

242
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 2: five the.

243
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 3: Early edition full the show podcast Todd Radio Power by

244
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 3: News Talks at Me.

245
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 2: It has just gone twenty six after five. We live

246
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 2: in a world that seemingly, seemingly is spilling over with

247
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 2: hate and division at the moment. You don't have to

248
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 2: look far to find it. Just in the past few days.

249
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 2: Look at this nineteen year old isis inspired terror suspect

250
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: planning to kill himself and as many Taylor Swift fans

251
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 2: as possible. You've got rioting, You've got division on the

252
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 2: streets of UK. Australia has raised its terror threat level.

253
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 2: Remember that sixteen year old teenager who stabbed a religious

254
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 2: cleric in Australia suspected religious extremism. Behind it. You've got Trump.

255
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 2: Remember this was only last month. Yeah, it's almost like

256
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 2: we've forgotten about that, isn't it, Because there's so much

257
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 2: going on. They all have one thing in common, the Internet.

258
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 2: You know, this nineteen year old Isis would be mass murderer.

259
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 2: He and his two alleged teenage accomplices. They were serious.

260
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 2: They had chemical explosives, they had detonateds. Allegedly, they were

261
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 2: radicalized online. The UK riots fueled by false information about

262
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 2: that stabbing suspect. They were all raked up, fired up

263
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 2: by being on the internet. Where did it all happen online? Australia?

264
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 2: Remember those seven teenagers arrested in April for alleged extremist ideology.

265
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 2: All happened online. I could go on, but you get

266
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 2: the point. Young impressionable minds, endless scrolling on social media

267
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 2: and the wild West of content. Every kid has a

268
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 2: mental health problem these days. If you noticed that, turn

269
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 2: on the news. Everyone's sad and why well, it's obviously,

270
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: isn't it the Internet? Isn't it our phones? And what

271
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 2: are we doing about it? And this is what happens

272
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 2: when you scroll on a phone and you don't and

273
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 2: you argue with somebody and you don't look them in

274
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 2: the eye. You know, you don't talk to them face

275
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 2: to face. You don't moderate your thoughts with body language

276
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 2: and facial expressions and all those important things that I

277
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 2: think help to make our debates a bit more human.

278
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 2: We lose all that when we go online and when

279
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 2: we scroll endlessly. Apparently we will spend between ten years

280
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 2: ten to seventeen years of our lives scrolling on our phones.

281
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 2: How sad is that? And for kids it's worse. So

282
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 2: on what have I done about it? Well, I've deleted

283
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 2: the apps on my phone, the social media apps, and

284
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 2: not that I'm saying I'm going to solve the world,

285
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 2: but I'm just seeing if I'll feel better about the world.

286
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 2: And I wonder why more people aren't doing it. Maybe

287
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 2: you are nine two nine two is the number to text.

288
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 2: Here's a do we have time for this?

289
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 8: Leah.

290
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 2: There's a guy called Tristan Harris has worked for Google.

291
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 2: He's what they call a technology ethicis This is what

292
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 2: he has to say about this issue.

293
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 9: The more moral outrageous language you use, the more inflammatory language,

294
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 9: contemptuous language, the more indignation you use, the more it

295
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 9: will get shared, So we are being rewarded for being

296
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 9: division entrepreneurs. The better you are at innovating a new

297
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 9: way to be divisive, we will pay you in more likes,

298
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 9: followers and retweets.

299
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 2: Isn't that sad thought? Twenty nine minutes after five, news

300
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,240

Speaker 2: twenty four minutes away from six, I'm still getting the

309
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 2: hang of this job. I've been here a month, and

310
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 2: one of my goals for this week I'll share with

Speaker 2: messages out loud, because I do read them. I read

313
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 2: every single text message that comes in because I appreciate

314
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 2: the feedback and I always take it on board. But

315
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 2: now that I'm kind of getting the hang of which

316
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 2: buttons to press and when odd mistakes notwithstanding, I'm trying

317
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 2: to get to more of your feedback because there's really

318
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 2: good information that's coming in and I like this critique

319
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 2: that has come in this morning. Ryan, you referred to

320
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 2: Lisa and Crewe who won this is the gold medal

321
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 2: this morning in the women's K four. The other names

322
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 2: don't get a mentioned. Quite right. I should have done

323
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 2: that and I will do it now. So alongside Lisa

324
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 2: Carrington in the K four gold medalists Alisha Hoskin, Tara

325
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 2: Vaughan and Olivia Brett. Congratulations to all of you. Also

326
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 2: to Elise Andrews who won in the Kiran final this

327
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 2: morning too. A good point and well done. Lots of

328
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 2: feedback coming in on people who've deleted their social media

329
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 2: accounts and are now free. Their lives are far improved,

330
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 2: so we'll read some of those out in the second.

331
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 2: Right now it is twenty three to six, Ryan Bridge,

332
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 2: Let's go to our reporters around the country. Calum Proctor

333
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 2: is in Dunedin, Callum is Wanaka.

334
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 10: Going to get a macers here morning, Ryan, Well, if

335
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 10: the locals have anything to do with it, probably not,

336
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 10: but really this decision lies with the district council. Now

337
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 10: the next phase of this proposed McDonald's and Watakah's set

338
00:19:55,119 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 10: to begin. The Queenstain Lakes District Councils, looking over at submission,

339
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 10: has received more than two hundred submissions from the public

340
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 10: on these restaurant plans. Submissions actually close today, but as

341
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 10: it stands, an overwhelming amount of residents say they are

342
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 10: against the idea. Their concerns include food waste pollution and

343
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 10: local outlets losing business. The council says that we'll review

344
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 10: all submissions before there's any hearings, and they say a

345
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 10: date on any decision can't be confirmed.

346
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 2: Yet everyone's against it until you're going home from the

347
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 2: pub and you know you want to drive through. Thank

348
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 2: you caullum. How's the weather in Dunedin today?

349
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 6: A few spots a drizzle for us like Wins and

350
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 6: ten today, Claire Shereward's and Christchich Claire. It's been labeled

351
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 6: unquestionably the biggest party in Australasia and it's coming to

352
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 6: christ Chitch.

353
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 2: What is this?

354
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 11: Yeah, this is a good Friday story.

355
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 5: Ryan.

356
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 11: New Zealand's biggest one day music festival, Electric Avenue, will

357
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 11: become two days next year at Hagley Park. About sixty

358
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 11: thousand people are expected over the two days February twenty

359
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 11: one and twenty two. There will be twenty international artists

360
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 11: forty local acts that spread across at four different stages.

361
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 11: Christ Church and Zed says the announcement's big for the city.

362
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 11: It expects visitors spending to top this year's six point

363
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 11: three million dollars. The lineup comes out next month and

364
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 11: for those wondering, I think this is interesting. Despite the

365
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 11: event doubling in size, ticket prices will only be about

366
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 11: thirty percent higher.

367
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 2: Well, there we go, and how's your weather today, Claire?

368
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 2: That's great?

369
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 11: Yeah, we need to get past the wintry blast though

370
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 11: it's cold here rain ten degrees with one overnight.

371
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, and Max Tols and Wellington Max

372
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 2: the All Blacks tests there tomorrow night. How's demand looking, Yeah.

373
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 12: It's not clear exactly how many tickets have sold so

374
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 12: far for this test. Much against Argentina apparently, though we're

375
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 12: only at about two thirds full of the thirty four

376
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 12: five hundred cedars sky Stadium, about two thirds subdued, it

377
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 12: would be a fair way to describe demand. Not a

378
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 12: great look for the capital and for future tests here.

379
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 12: Although we do have the Bloder Cup game next month

380
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 12: that will probably sell out, but yeah, it possibly a

381
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 12: cost of living thing, possibly a wind st thing, possibly

382
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 12: a Wellington thing.

383
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 2: Also worth noting the All Blacks have actually a Wellington thing?

384
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 2: Does that mean what you don't like rugby? Bring?

385
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 12: I'm just here to bring you the doom and gloom

386
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,479
Speaker 12: from the Capitol Mate, Worth noting as well, the All

387
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 12: Blacks haven't actually won a game in Wellington since twenty eighteen.

388
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 12: I've seen them three times. I think my record is

389
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 12: a drawer and two defeats. If we don't sell out,

390
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 12: you know, the postnotes the crowd would be less than

391
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 12: the thirty three thousand who watched the All Blacks play

392
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 12: Fiji and San Diego, of which there was criticism.

393
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 2: Jeez, can't you just be happy on a Friday next

394
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 2: and you well, your fury is crashed. I can see

395
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 2: why you're upset. You know your feary is crashed. Your

396
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 2: speed bumps will slow you down once you get off

397
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 2: the fury. That's the right.

398
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 12: Weather's not looking great for golf tomorrow.

399
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 2: Rex told him that did we do with that? I can't. Oh,

400
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 2: it's not great.

401
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 12: Periods of rain, strong souther East tenth.

402
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 2: Fantastic and you've got to break me in too, Hey Neva, my.

403
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 13: Gosh, he is the you know, the groom reap in

404
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 13: the mix. I came running in the studio. I was like,

405
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 13: on a high, the gals have got gold this morning,

406
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 13: I'm on a high. It's Friday. Listening to MEXI cracks

407
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 13: me up. And then I'm thinking, man, I feel like, you.

408
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 2: Know, I'm quite depressed. Actually, I had to laugh this

409
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 2: morning at you said about the other teddy in the news. Oh,

410
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 2: I mean you see, I mean the news. Yes, it

411
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 2: was a low speed contact, not a crash.

412
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 13: I have to say. When I woke up early this

413
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 13: morning and I was just having a look at you know,

414
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 13: the what was online and the hero website, and when

415
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 13: I read that story about that, I was just I

416
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 13: was screaming. I was like, what is going on with

417
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 13: that utter teddy fairy? I thought I would probably you

418
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 13: and I would probably do a bit of driving.

419
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 2: I don't know about that.

420
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 13: Sorry for one of the guys who was just a

421
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 13: line in there saying, look this sucks because this you know,

422
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 13: someone was trying to get on there a passenger and

423
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 13: you know now they're being delayed until like later on today.

424
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 13: He said, I've been standing out here waiting in the wind,

425
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 13: and you can just imagine, you know, like in Wellington.

426
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 13: I thought, Oh, the poor person.

427
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, he'll be as miserable as Max presumably.

428
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 13: Hey, I was just thinking, what did I was listening

429
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 13: to you saying about your you know, social media there?

430
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, well it's I mean you Well, it's interesting

431
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 2: so many people are texting and to say they cut

432
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 2: the social media out, and that just feel so much

433
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 2: happier about life.

434
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 13: I'm not on social media. I'm a ludd.

435
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 2: I don't know how.

436
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 4: I mean.

437
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 13: I'm on Facebook, but I never I don't just to

Speaker 13: it Instagram?

441
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 2: What do you call it? Nothing? Well, do you know

442
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 2: what the good thing is? You can't be radicalized, because

443
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 2: that's what's happening to everyone else.

444
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 12: Right, look at us now?

445
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 2: Everyone else is nuts, but us neither. We're not nuts. Hey.

446
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 2: What are we talking about? The current? Well? The weather? Oh,

447
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 2: the weather? Should I do the weather?

448
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 5: Yes?

00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 13: in all Cliff.

451
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 2: Thank you, Neva. It is seventeen to six The news you.

452
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 3: Need this morning and the in depth analysis early edition

453
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 3: with Ryan Bridge and Swift City, New Zealand's furniture beds

454
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 3: and a playing store.

455
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 2: News Talk said B. Fourteen to six on news Talk

456
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 2: said B. This is a text from Ian who says,

457
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 2: I was just going to agree with your recent interviewer

458
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 2: interviewee bipartisan agreement on a number of areas, including energy

459
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 2: in New Zealand, because we need certainty for businesses to

460
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 2: invest so that we don't end up with the shortages

461
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 2: that we've got at the moment, which mean prices go

462
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 2: through the roof. He says, a small country like New

463
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 2: Zealand can't afford the kind of stuff ups that we

464
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 2: are now dealing with energy, health, education, roading, transport that

465
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 2: are all in the PIP, he says, and we should

466
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 2: have more by partisan agreement on how to deal with

467
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 2: and manage those things. Also, someone has said, Ryan, are

468
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 2: you're we're how often you mentioned the time you used

469
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 2: to do it on the AM show. How about you

470
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 2: talk about something other than the time, Sarah, thank you

471
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 2: for that message. It is thirteen to.

472
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:23,239
Speaker 3: Six International correspondents with ends in Eye Insurance, peace of

473
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 3: mind for New Zealand business.

474
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 2: Our UK Europe correspondent is Vincent mcavini. He's with us

475
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 2: live this morning. A state of emergency has been declared

476
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 2: in the Curs region in Russia. Vincent, Yes, that's right.

477
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 14: This is a surprise attack that the Ukrainians have mounted.

478
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 14: We think about a thousand or so Ukrainian troops supported

479
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 14: by tanks and armored vehicles, cross the border from Ukraine

480
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 14: into Russia on Tuesday, and some three thousand people have

481
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 14: been evacuated due to ongoing military altercations that have killed

482
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 14: at least for people. According to this Rush Regions governor.

483
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 14: This has come as a surprise to the Kreminin. It

484
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 14: is highly embarrassing to Vladmir Pusin. Of course, two and

485
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 14: a half years ago he told his country that this

486
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 14: would be a limited, small operation in Ukraine, it would

487
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 14: be over quickly, and we're still here fighting and now

488
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 14: his own country is being invaded in a surprise attack

489
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 14: from Ukrainian troops. So quite a display of gumption and

490
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 14: ambition from the Ukraini users.

491
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 2: Certainly is Taylor Swift. These concerts that have been canceled.

492
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 2: Sounds like these suspicted attackers were very serious.

493
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 14: Yes, that's right. A nineteen year old who was arrested

494
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 14: on Wednesday apparently was planning to kill a large crowd

495
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 14: of people in a suicide attack a one of the

496
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 14: three concerts taking place in Vienna this weekend. Taylor Smith

497
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 14: was meant to be playing to one hundred and ninety

498
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 14: five thousand people over the three days. Those concerts have

499
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 14: all been canceled. Local media is reporting that the suspect

500
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 14: had stolen chemicals from his formal workplace, that he is

501
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 14: in the process of building a bomb, had materials to

502
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 14: that effect, that he was going to potentially use this device,

503
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,959
Speaker 14: but also drive a car into crowds and potentially go

504
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 14: on a stabbing spree as well, So it would have

505
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 14: been horrific. It's very similar to the Ariana Grande attack

506
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 14: that took place here in the UK back in twenty seventeen,

507
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 14: where someone detonated a bomb at that concert venue as

508
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 14: a young young women and their parents were leaving, and

509
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 14: would have been a pretty horrific event. But so far,

510
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 14: Taylor Swift keeping the rest of the era's toll going.

511
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 14: She'll be back in the UK next week being Wembley.

512
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 14: She's got a record eight nights are sold out at

513
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 14: Wembley this summer, so she's coming back to do the

514
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 14: rest of those.

515
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty frightening there, and you can see why the

516
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 2: authorities have moved to close the concerts down. Thank you

517
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 2: so much for your time, Vincent. Vincent Mecavennie a UK

518
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 2: and Europe correspondent. It is eleven to six, Ryan Bridge.

519
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 2: The government's plan to replace the three Waters legislation has

520
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 2: been revealed. Council controlled water organizations will be able to

521
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 2: leverage up to five hundred percent five times. Basically, they're

522
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 2: operating revenues through the local Government funding agency and they

523
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 2: can body up with councils to do this. Councils not

524
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 2: necessarily even on their border, so the Commerce Commission will

525
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 2: oversee it to make sure there's appropriate investment, maintenance and

526
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 2: delivery of water infrastructure for consumers' long term. The Auckland

527
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 2: councilor Daniel Newman is with me this morning. Good morning, Daniel,

528
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 2: Good morning Ryan. What do you make of this? Is

529
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 2: this better than three Waters?

530
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 15: Yes?

531
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 8: It is.

532
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 15: It is because it keeps the assets within council. It

533
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,959
Speaker 15: does provide a facility for borrowing to fund, and that

534
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 15: facility will be cheaper. It will put real pressure back

535
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 15: on councils in terms of ensuring appropriate governance of these

536
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 15: water entities. But I think it's a better model than

537
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 15: what was proposed by the previous government.

538
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 2: What does it mean in Auckland for water here, Well,

539
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 2: what it will mean is that water Care is able

540
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 2: to effectively borrow off.

541
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 15: The off the council's balance sheets, so that allows it

542
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 15: to be able to access more more debt. But you know,

543
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 15: it would be a cheaper borrowing facility, and that's quite

544
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 15: important because your borrowing capacity is restricted according to your

545
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 15: debt to revenue ratio. So at the moment, what would

546
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 15: happen if you didn't have access to cheaper debt You

547
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 15: would have to raise rights rates faster and faster in

548
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 15: order to ensure that you maintain a debt to revenue ratio,

549
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 15: which is you know, I don't want to be basically

550
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 15: be taxing my constituents just to meet a borrowing limits.

551
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 15: So I think it's a better option for for Auckland

552
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 15: is I think it will probably be a better option

553
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 15: for a lot of people around the country.

554
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, they reckon you Can you know we're borrowing five

555
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 2: times what you're taken through your water rates? It would

556
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 2: double what the currents are most cecos would currently. Do

557
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 2: you do we need Does Aukland need to buddy up

558
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 2: with anyone else?

559
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 15: Auckland won't need to buddy up with anybody, and I'm

560
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 15: quite relieved about that. Auckland is big enough and ugly

561
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,719
Speaker 15: enough to look after itself. But there will be councils

562
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 15: outside of the Auckland region who I'm sure will need

563
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 15: to buddy up. And that's not unworkable. It is complex,

564
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 15: but it is it is. It is a feasible option

565
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 15: if you can get that partnership relationship through a shareholder's

566
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 15: representative group.

567
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 2: Daniel, very quickly in one word, can you answer this question?

568
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 2: Wayne Brown's gone to the Herald this morning saying he

569
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 2: wants to dethrone Auckland Transport, stripping away the unelected board members' powers,

570
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 2: putting elected representatives in full control. He wants to gut

571
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 2: the place. Do you agree with him? Yes, thanks for

572
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 2: your time. That is sick. That's Daniel Newman, the Auckland

573
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 2: councilor it is eight to six.

574
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 3: News and views you trust as done your Day. It's

575
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 3: early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's

576
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 3: furniture beds and a flying store. News Talk said, be.

577
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 2: It is five to six. News Talk said, be Friday morning.

578
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 2: Everyone loves Friday. The athlete that we need to talk

579
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 2: about this morning is a Dutch marathon swimmer. So ten

580
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 2: k's in the water. This is in the river Sin.

581
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 2: Two hours in the river Sin. She gets dehydrated. She's

582
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 2: the gold medal winner, so I suppose she can do

583
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 2: what she wants. But she got dehydrated, so she was thirsty,

584
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 2: so she drank the river Sin. She said, I needed

585
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 2: a refreshment, so I was like, I'll just drink the

586
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 2: river Sin. I don't care. It was nice. Other races

587
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 2: water tastes fishy sometimes, so there you go. She won,

588
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 2: so clearly it was worth doing. Mike Costing is here,

589
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 2: good morning.

590
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:47,479
Speaker 16: She'll be on a drip by tomorrow.

591
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

592
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 16: I mean all the other two one was it one

593
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 16: of ours or two of ours got sick?

594
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, and there were a colon So.

595
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 16: I suppose that it's the Olympics.

596
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 2: What's it matter?

597
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 16: I mean, you recover the young, their fit, healthy, drink.

598
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 2: A bit of pool water and when a gold medal.

599
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 16: Well, speaking of which, the water system. By the way,

600
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 16: I just want to expose you. I heard you earlier

601
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 16: on saying you read all the texts.

602
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 2: You don't.

603
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 16: I do, you do not? You have nothing but distain

604
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 16: for the audience and the texture. I just want to

605
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 16: expose that officially not true. What a fraud I thought.

606
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 2: I don't read them all out on air, but I

607
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 2: do read them, okay, fair enough, even the ones that

608
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 2: are you know.

609
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 16: If you say so so. Yeah, No, the water things

610
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 16: interest me because you can borrow five times. So a

611
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 16: couple of questions come out of that.

612
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I don't read all of them. I

613
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 2: knew it. Bustard, Well, there's a million things going on

614
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 2: in here. No, no, I know.

615
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 16: And when you said all the buttons I pushed, you

616
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 16: don't push any buttons. He doesn't do any pushed three

617
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 16: butter can tell the time and say good morning. Let's

618
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 16: let's be honest.

619
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 2: Don't make this job out to be harder than.

620
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,440
