You can email Dickens at newstalk SETB dot 21 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 2: Co dot M said, it is seven after five. 22 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: The agenda. 23 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 2: It's Monday, the fifteenth of July, and Donald Trump has 24 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 2: been meeting NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in the White House. 25 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 2: So Donald Trump says he's very very unhappy with Russia 26 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,479 Speaker 2: and we'll introduce very severe secondary tariffs of one hundred 27 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 2: percent if he doesn't get a six fire deal with 28 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 2: the Ukraine within fifty days. 29 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 3: It's a horrible war and it should be so. And 30 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 3: so if it's not done, if we don't have an 31 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 3: agreement that fifty days, that's what we're doing secondary tariffs. 32 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 2: And they're biting, and. 33 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 3: I hope we don't get to the point where we do. 34 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 3: But I've been hearing so much talk. It's all talk's 35 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 3: all talk, and then missiles go in to Kiev and 36 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 3: kill sixty people. It's it's better stuff. 37 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 2: And this came after he confirmed that the United States 38 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 2: will send air defense missiles to Ukraine, but NATO will 39 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 2: have to pay for them first. Now to the UK 40 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 2: where we've got a verdict in the high profile case 41 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 2: of Constance Martin and Mark Gordon. They have been found 42 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 2: guilty of gross negligence manslaughter after their baby Victoria was 43 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 2: found dead in a shopping bag in Brighton. So the 44 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 2: couple spent two months on the run back in twenty 45 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 2: twenty three, ditching their burnt out car after Martin gave 46 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 2: birth in secret. They were hiding intense and were avoiding 47 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 2: CCTV and police and it sparked a nationwide man hunt. 48 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 4: Victoria's death was completely avoidable. The couple had plenty of 49 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 4: opportunities to do the right thing and come forward to 50 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 4: ask for help. They knew throughout the officers were looking 51 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,839 Speaker 4: for them and baby Victoria. They also ignored medical professionals 52 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 4: who directly reached out to them to say that their 53 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 4: actions were put in baby Victoria at risk. 54 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 2: And the couple had already been convicted of concealing the 55 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 2: birth and perverting justice. So this was the verdict on 56 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 2: the manslaughter charge and staying with the UK and America. 57 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 2: Buckingham Powers has confirmed that Donald Trump has accepted King 58 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 2: Charles's invitation for a second state visit. It's going to 59 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 2: happen in September, joined by First Lady Milania Trump, hosted 60 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 2: at Windsor Castle. Donald Trump have informally accepted the invitation 61 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 2: back when UKPM Secare Stamer visited the White House. 62 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 3: The answer is yes, our wonderful First Lady Malania and myself. 63 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 3: The answer is yes, and we look forward to being 64 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 3: there and honoring the King and honoring early your country. 65 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 2: Good on you. 66 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: Ten after five the first word on the News of 67 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: the Day Early edition with Andrew Dickens and x Fole 68 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: Insulation keeping Kiwi Holmes warm and dry. This winter news 69 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: talks at me. 70 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 2: Also, we've got an election. Yesterday the Prime Minister confirmed 71 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 2: the by election date for the Tamaki Makoto Maori electorate 72 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 2: and this will, I think be an acid test for 73 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 2: the two major parties involved. So Labor and Tipati Mali 74 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: are the only major parties posting candidates. But don't forget 75 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 2: Hannah Tammock. She's standing again for Vision New Zealand. Last time, yes, 76 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 2: Brian's wife got eight hundred and twenty nine votes. Anyway, 77 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 2: I can see why New Zealand person act to boycotting 78 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 2: the thing because of policy stuff. But it would have 79 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 2: been interesting to see National or the Greens having a crack. 80 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 2: But no matter. Last time the seat went to Tapati 81 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 2: Mali by the smallest margin, just forty two votes, So 82 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 2: Labor's standing. Penny Hanale he won it before, but he 83 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 2: lost it last time. He is now a current list 84 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 2: of MP and Tabati Maori is standing Rini Kaiperer, who's 85 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 2: a former journalist who work with Brian Bridge. Apparently she's 86 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 2: very good. I don't really actually care too much about 87 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 2: the details of this because frankly, I'm not Malory, but 88 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 2: Penny Hanore and Labor I think has a lot to prove. 89 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 2: In their heart of hearts. They believe they are the 90 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 2: ordained voice of Maori, the same way National believes they 91 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 2: are the ordained voice of farmers. But Labor lost that 92 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 2: mandate last time because they were too conservative. They were 93 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 2: too patriarchal, perhaps so even too But Labor, if they 94 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,239 Speaker 2: ever got into government again, are capable of actually getting 95 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 2: stuff done in the beehive. Unlike to Party Mari. They 96 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 2: are the voice of protesting Mari. Some like to say radical. 97 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 2: They don't work well with others. They will never get 98 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 2: a bill passed, they never even turn up to the House, 99 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 2: and they like to play stunts, and I don't get 100 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 2: too exercise about those stunts and their funky clothes and 101 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 2: their outrageous statements. However, that behavior is good for a 102 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 2: protest rally, but not for the House, and it's not 103 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,239 Speaker 2: good for getting policy passed. And I wonder if Mardy 104 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 2: know that their candidate Areni Kaipeer has a good head 105 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 2: on her shoulders, but frankly her classmates are clowns. So 106 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 2: Penny Hannaa has to prove to Maori that labor is 107 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 2: good for Mari, a feeling they've lost, and he has 108 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 2: to win it to show that labor is still capable 109 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 2: of one day winning a general election and they actually 110 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 2: value Maori rather than just the votes that they get 111 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 2: from those people. It is twelve after five. 112 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: Zied B. 113 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 2: So all that worrying and angst about our education results, 114 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 2: well we've got some news through. We've got some results. 115 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 2: Some are good and some are unchanged. So what is 116 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 2: what and are we heading in the right direction. We'll 117 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 2: have that story for you next. Here are news talks ATB. 118 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with 119 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens and X Full Insulation keeping Kiwi Holmes warm 120 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: and dry. This winter news talk set BYES. 121 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,119 Speaker 2: It's DOW five point fifteen, so fair cop I said 122 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 2: Tuesday at the beginning of the program, and then during 123 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 2: the agenda I said it was Monday. It is in 124 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 2: fact Tuesday. I can confirm that I blame the education system. 125 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 2: And speaking of which, we've got some good news on 126 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 2: the education front. For once, the amount of kids passing 127 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 2: NCEEA co requisite tests is slowly improving. Now these are 128 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 2: the exam students must pass in order to pass the 129 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 2: year level move on up. Fifty seven percent of students 130 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 2: achieve maths up from forty five percent. Sixty one percent 131 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 2: pass reading up from fifty eight percent, so just three 132 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 2: percent there. Meanwhile, writing stayed unchanged at fifty five percent. 133 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 2: So Kate Gainsford is the secretary principal's council chair. She's 134 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 2: also a principal. She's the principal at college and she 135 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 2: joins her now, good morning to you. 136 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 5: Kate, good morning, how are you today? 137 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 2: Very well, sour fifty eight morning, it is a Tuesday morning. 138 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you, principal, and don't give me detention. 139 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 2: So a fifty seven percent pass rate for maths is 140 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 2: not great, but it is up, so I guess you'll 141 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 2: take that. 142 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 5: Well, Yes, it's really happening to see that after all 143 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 5: of the effort that has gone into it. So what 144 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 5: we need to see, of course, is that effort continuing. 145 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 5: You know, there's been some things that have come together 146 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 5: very nicely around this. There's been cross party agreement on 147 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 5: the need to focus on these things and we haven't 148 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 5: seen that for some time, so that has lent some 149 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 5: continuity to things. That's great. We've seen we've seen the 150 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 5: government and other agencies really listening to teachers and schools 151 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 5: and their feedback about some earlier poor performance of the 152 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 5: digital platform and even some of the assessments themselves, and 153 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 5: that's seen some improvements. And of course we've seen a 154 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 5: little bit of extra resource in some schools to pay 155 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 5: for some additional tutoring and support. But we've got a 156 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 5: way to go yet to improve that. 157 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 2: The funny thing you say, cross party supports you know, 158 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 2: everybody's supporting this, but reading, writing, and arithmetic was always 159 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 2: the very basis of our education. Why do we let 160 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 2: it slip? 161 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 5: Well, it hasn't been resourced in this way, certainly in 162 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 5: the primary schools with a common practice model, and then 163 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 5: they've structured literacy and their approach to maths. It hasn't 164 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 5: been resourced in anything like this way before with the 165 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 5: and the all of the rest of the professional development 166 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 5: that seaches have received. So it certainly has been a 167 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 5: significant investment of money and that does make a difference. 168 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 5: If you put more into a system, you get more 169 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 5: out of it. 170 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 2: So is it the resourcing or is it the government's 171 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 2: new curriculum? 172 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 5: Well it is it Iss said, this government and the 173 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 5: previous government had reached agreement on some approaches to literacy 174 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 5: that I think are proving to be fruitful. So the 175 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 5: curriculum focus is useful. What we have to make sure 176 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 5: we don't do is make sure that we neglect other 177 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 5: parts of the curriculum. We have too much of a 178 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 5: focus on it's narrow so that we because the focus 179 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 5: has not been spread across other areas like science and 180 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 5: technology and languages and so forth, and those are also important. 181 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 5: Of course access to those is helped if you are 182 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 5: illiterate and numerate. So looking at the basics as useful, Well. 183 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 2: Well done to the teach because all the all the 184 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 2: rates are over the fifty percent pass rate. But we 185 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 2: can do better and we still got a long way 186 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 2: to go, and that is Kate Gainsford, Secretary Principal's Council 187 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 2: chair and principal at Artair College. It is eighteen after five, 188 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 2: So there's a new report out about the state of Auckland. 189 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 2: It's not a new report, they do this every year, 190 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 2: but this one's interesting. It's got some good, got some bad. 191 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 2: I see that. Larry's already sent me a text saying 192 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 2: Auckland is a great place to live except for its 193 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 2: lousy bus service, which sucks. So what is Auckland doing 194 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 2: good and what is Auckland doing bad? That story for 195 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 2: your next. 196 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: Views and views you trust to start your day. It's 197 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: early dship with Andrew Dickins at Expol installation keeping Kiwi 198 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: Holmes warm and dry. This winter news talk said be. 199 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 2: Some dude took a gun to the MCG and we're 200 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 2: going to talk about that story with Donna DeMaio in 201 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 2: about twenty minutes time. But right now we've got a 202 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 2: new report out today comparing Auckland City's strengths and weaknesses 203 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 2: compared to the rest of the world. So the Queen 204 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 2: City is punching above its weight in diversity, sustainability and culture, 205 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 2: but serious action is needed in economic opportunities, skill set 206 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 2: and innovation. So Kate Sutton is the lead for the 207 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 2: Future of Auckland at Deloitte and joins me. Now good 208 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 2: mording to your. 209 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: Ko Hi, how are you? 210 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 6: Thanks for having me on. 211 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 2: It's a pleasure. Aucland's a lovely place to live, but 212 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 2: the economy is a bit stagnant. Is that fair? You 213 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 2: know what jumps out at you from this report. 214 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 6: We've been we've been doing this report for three years 215 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 6: without partners, the Committee for Auckland and Auckland Council, and 216 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 6: this is the third year we've been running. It's benchmarking. 217 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 6: So what it does is that computers Auckland, as you said, 218 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 6: not just to the rest of the world, but to 219 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 6: comparable cities globally. So the whole thing is how are 220 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 6: we doing compared to our sort of peer cities. And certainly, 221 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,439 Speaker 6: although it shows we've had some green shoots over the 222 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 6: last year you talked about. You mentioned that the headline resilience, certainly, 223 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 6: sustainability and culture where we do well, that's right, our 224 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 6: kind of prosperity and economy pieces is particularly we've been 225 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 6: focusing this year on productivity in Auckland. 226 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 2: Well, why is the productivity down? Why is the productivity 227 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 2: not good? How can we improve the city's business performance. 228 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, so I mean for Auckland we're a forty percent 229 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 6: of the GDP, which is pretty good comparably globally, it 230 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 6: could be higher. However, our productivity per capita is lower 231 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 6: by about twenty percent from our kind of peer cities Copenhagen, 232 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 6: Vancouver often. So what does that mean. It means that 233 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 6: we're doing more for left and there's kind of some 234 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 6: structural reasons behind that kind of low capital investment, an 235 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 6: efficient land use, which we know the council has been 236 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 6: doing quite a lot of work on export intensity and 237 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 6: unfortunately some of our kind of management capability, so there's 238 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 6: a step up that needs to be done. The report 239 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 6: does go into some recommendations around kind of structures that 240 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 6: are required. A lot of this is around we've got 241 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 6: this great opportunity with the city regional deal. I'm not 242 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 6: sure if you've been following it. It's a bit wonky, 243 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 6: but it is important. The government have signed an MoU 244 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 6: with Auckland councils saying they're going to do a deal 245 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 6: to try and you know, turbo charge Auckland in terms 246 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 6: of it being supersific. Well, that is opportunities in. 247 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 2: That deal that is the big question. I mean who 248 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 2: is responsible for driving the change? Is it local government? 249 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 2: Is it Mayor Brown or is it the central government? 250 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 2: I mean who's in charge? Who should push this? 251 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 5: Well? 252 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 6: Very much so globally it shows that it has to 253 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 6: be triparth a or multi part a. So I know 254 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 6: that that can be a little bit inconvenient. We've got 255 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 6: the Minister Watts today, We've got Mayor Brown today, and 256 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 6: certainly we'll be saying to them what is the what 257 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 6: are the drivers for you and what what does deliverability 258 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 6: look like for you? But certainly the private sector play 259 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 6: a key role. So many of your listeners will get that. 260 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 6: You know, what are the things that the private sector 261 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 6: needs to do, invest in in their businesses, invest in 262 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 6: people to ensure that they stay in New Zealand and 263 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 6: kind of reap the benefits from these great things, the 264 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 6: resilience and the sustainability and the culture side about cities. 265 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 2: Good South Kate Sutton, our future of Aucland lead at Deloitte, 266 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,439 Speaker 2: Luke Reckons at Auckland doing well in what doesn't matter 267 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 2: and failing and what does. What the Orcand's doing well 268 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 2: is diversity, sustainability and culture. And you know the quality 269 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 2: of life of living in the place, nice speeches, you know, 270 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 2: all that sort of thing, but economic opportunities, skill set 271 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 2: and innovation, and as Larry points out, the bus service 272 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 2: needs some help. And you sometimes wonder whether Orkanders are 273 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 2: their own worst enemy because they always rail against progress 274 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 2: and change. It is five twenty five. It's News Talks 275 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 2: at B. 276 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: The early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by 277 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: News Talks at BE. 278 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 2: News Talks at B five twenty seven. Here we go again. 279 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 2: The politics that were centralized by the last government are 280 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 2: going to be decentralized by the current mob. So we're 281 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 2: not quite going back to the future, but because it's 282 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 2: not going to be quite the same as we had 283 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 2: before the politicians started tinkering, there will now be ten 284 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 2: polytechs run locally. Six others will have to prove their 285 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 2: financial viability. But it still feels like we're going back 286 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 2: to where we started from. And this ideological flip flop 287 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 2: that we've been going through is not free. So the 288 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 2: Labor government allocated hundreds of millions of dollars over several 289 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 2: years to support the merger and transformation of the vocational 290 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 2: education sector. They started doing this back in twenty twenty. 291 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 2: It's five years of it, hundreds of millions of dollars. 292 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 2: Now Nashal has budgeted another two hundred million dollars to 293 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 2: fund the reversal. The key cost drivers in this change 294 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 2: include swapping out the IT and systems integration across multiple institutions. 295 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 2: They centralize them, now they have to localize them. Obviously, 296 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 2: staff restructuring, which includes finding new staff for the polyteics 297 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 2: and firing some staff created in the centralization that we're 298 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 2: in Wellington. Then there's branding and communications, and there's legal 299 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 2: and compliance costs. It ain't cheap. At the end of 300 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 2: the day, we're back to square one. Who knows if 301 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 2: the politics are going to be profitable. And the same 302 00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 2: thing's happening over at Health New Zealand. In fact, it's 303 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 2: happening all over the country. As this government reverses the 304 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 2: last government's changes, people are packing up their desks all 305 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 2: over the country that they first packed up four years ago. 306 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 2: So when you look at this, who's to blame well 307 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 2: Labor for coming up with the new ideas in the 308 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 2: first place, or is it national's dogged determination to reverse 309 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 2: everything the last mob did because they've built their brand 310 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 2: on not being labor. But I don't know about you. 311 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 2: The whole thing feels like wasteful government spending and the 312 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 2: question we have to ask ourselves, after this five years 313 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 2: of change, are we substantially better off? 314 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: Zidy. 315 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 2: A couple of years ago I went to New Caledonia, 316 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 2: not once in a year, but twice. I went once 317 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 2: for work and then I went another time for fun. 318 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 2: I'd already booked the fun trip and then the work 319 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 2: trip came in. Anyway, New Caledonia has had the most 320 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 2: amazing Bastille Day and the most amazing weekend, and I'll 321 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 2: tell you more about that in a few moments time. 322 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 2: We're going off to Donna Tomao in Australia. We're going 323 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 2: to talk about the German back, you know how, the 324 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 2: one that got lost for eleven days.

It's all to 329 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 2: come on earlier edition right here on News Talks NB. 330 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 2: I'm Andrew Dickens. 331 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 7: Excise for. 332 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens on early edition with ex bowl insulation keeping 333 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: Kiwi homes warm and try this winter news talks it. 334 00:17:49,480 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 8: B where you going, ladies and gentlemen, he is you. 335 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 9: Know, I continue here. 336 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 2: This is mister Justin Bieber. You've got miss so that 337 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 2: he grew up anyway. It's his single Daisies and comes 338 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 2: from a brand new album called Swag, which apparently is 339 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 2: very good according to Scooter Braun. Now, Scooter Braun used 340 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 2: to be Justin's manager, and he's posted saying this album 341 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 2: Swagged by the guy I used to run. It is 342 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 2: the most authentically Justin Bieber album to date. It's beautiful, 343 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 2: raw and truly him. The interesting thing about Scooter Braun 344 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 2: and Justin Bieber is that Scooter just got paid thirty 345 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 2: million dollars by Justin Bieber. Justin Bieber owed the money 346 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 2: after the cancelation of his Justice tour. And this is 347 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 2: because Justin, because Justin Bieber got singles singles back in 348 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three and canceled the concert and now owed 349 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 2: thirty million to Scooter Braun. And then Scooter Braun says 350 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 2: his album's really sweet. Gee, I wonder if that's payover anyway, 351 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 2: three years ago I went to New Caledonia, not once, 352 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 2: but twice, once for we're once for fun. It was lovely, 353 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 2: but after the troubles last year, I wondered how the 354 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 2: place was faring because no one was going anymore, and 355 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 2: not well is the answer. Last year's violence claimed the 356 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 2: lives of fourteen people, and it's estimated to have cost 357 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 2: New Caledonia two billion euros. That's four billion bucks. The 358 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 2: nickel production stopped, the tourism stopped, to shave ten percent 359 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 2: of its gross domestic product. It's two hundred and seventy 360 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 2: thousand people living there, about ten thousand miles from Paris. 361 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 2: But New Caledonia was, of course run by Paris. It's 362 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 2: been ruled by Paris since the eighteen hundreds. And of 363 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:40,199 Speaker 2: course many indigenous Cannects resented France's power over the islands 364 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,199 Speaker 2: and they wanted full autonomy and independence. Well, guess what, 365 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 2: over the weekend they got it. They'll get a new 366 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 2: New Caledonia government which can do what it wants, but 367 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 2: it has to act in the interests of France. Citizens 368 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,400 Speaker 2: are going to get dual citizenship. It took ten days 369 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 2: of talk, so they decided that New Caledonia will become 370 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 2: our state but will remain French. And they announced it 371 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 2: just time for Beastie All Day, which I thought was 372 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 2: nicely symbolic. And so the new New Caledonia is much 373 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,959 Speaker 2: like New Zealand being declared a dominion within the Commonwealth 374 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 2: back in the day. And I don't know if this 375 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 2: is going to work or not, but I hope it 376 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 2: does because frankly, it's a lovely place to visit and 377 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 2: I hope the bar is humming once again at La 378 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 2: Maldien Hotel, which has a lovely lawn facing the perfect 379 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 2: sunset and has been empty for the last two years. 380 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: News talks'ed B. 381 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 2: Twenty one to SIXSS go around the country of Lochland. 382 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 2: Ranny joins me from duneed and good morning to. 383 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 10: Your Lockland morning. 384 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 2: New hospital for Otago Central Lakes District. 385 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 9: Yeah, Health New Zealand's developing a clinical services plan for 386 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 9: QUEENSTOWND Lakes in Central Otigo to keep up with the 387 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 9: booming population growth.

Now it's closer to eighty thousand. 390 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 9: The new facility could also become New Zealand's first largely 391 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 9: privately owned and publicly operated hospital. South Island MP Joseph 392 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,719 Speaker 9: mooney'sys seventy percent of New Zealand's population live more than 393 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 9: a two hours drive from the base hospital live in 394 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 9: the area.

She was found after eleven nights in 503 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 13: freezing conditions. She had a little bit of food and 504 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,120 Speaker 13: the water she got was from the rain and from 505 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 13: puddles and so forth. But she was found limping and 506 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 13: barefoot by a farmer about thirty k's from her car. 507 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 13: Now what she's done is thanked her rescuers. 508 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 7: Of course, a. 509 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 13: Lot of people were looking for her, and she's written, 510 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,640 Speaker 13: I am simply grateful to have survived. She's called her rescuer, 511 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 13: her angel. She was absolutely ravaged by mosquitos apparently as well. 512 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 13: But we have heard from a bush survival expert, Kelly Jackson, 513 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 13: who said that there's a number one rule, stay with 514 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 13: your car, but a lot of people don't do that 515 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 13: because they're go into shock and they do. 516 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 7: Act rationally, so that possibly what is what happened with you. 517 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 2: You can't walk out in the car has a roof 518 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 2: and that's quite handy and the burning out back. Now, 519 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 2: some bloke brought a gun to the football at the MCG. 520 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 13: Yes, the twenty seven year old man has been sentenced 521 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 13: to twenty one months in prison for carrying a firearm 522 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 13: into the g early this year.

You know how footy mad we are. 527 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 13: It was between Collingwood and Carlton. Don't know if that 528 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 13: means anything to you, but eighty two thousand fans were 529 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 13: at the footy at the time and so we know 530 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 13: now that security systems at the sporting ground, yes, they 531 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 13: have been upgraded. He will serve twenty one months and 532 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 13: twelve months non parole. 533 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 2: I certainly know Collingwood. I was cursed with going on 534 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 2: the Ottaga rail trail with a bunch of tourists from 535 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 2: Australia who were all Collingwood supporters, and boy did I 536 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 2: get it in the ear all weekend long. And then 537 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 2: there's a big argument about what's better rugby or Australian football. 538 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 2: With it, there we go, hey Donald, Oh. 539 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,400 Speaker 13: That's a perennial argument, will never ever. 540 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 2: Go away, Donna. I thank you very much, Donna. Donald 541 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 2: to my out of Australia. Now on US news on 542 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,199 Speaker 2: Ukraine and NATO, Donald Trump, after overnight has confirmed that 543 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 2: he has agreed to send weapons to Ukraine. And it's 544 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 2: quite an amazing piece of audio because he both surprised 545 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 2: that the United States makes the greatest military equipment in 546 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 2: the world. So the new equipment will be made for 547 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,199 Speaker 2: NATO and NATO will have to pay for it and 548 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 2: then available to be sent onwards to Ukraine. Donald strikes 549 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 2: a deal, does he not? Meanwhile, of course he's promised 550 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,959 Speaker 2: a harsh tariff regime for Russia if Putin doesn't end 551 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 2: the war within fifty days, one hundred percent tariffs. I 552 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 2: think Trump's finally realizing that that Vladimi is not as mate. 553 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 2: It is ten after six. It's news talksb Now. The 554 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 2: big news today is the inflation's coming back. Grocery supplies, 555 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 2: their supplies two supermarkets have increased by two point one 556 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 2: percent in June. Okay, so that's just up a little bit, 557 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 2: but it was going down, so it's starting to go up, 558 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 2: So it's increased slightly. It reflects underlying increases to a 559 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 2: number of key items. Higher international food and export prices 560 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 2: for items like dairy products are contributing to domestic costs. 561 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 2: So the big thing here, frozen costs rows two percent 562 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 2: are from point six, driven by higher pastry and dessert costs, 563 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 2: and that is all related to the higher dairy costs. 564 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 2: And higher dairy is really at the core of a 565 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 2: lot of what is happening in our supermarkets. They push 566 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 2: up the costs of chilled foods. We're talking about a 567 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 2: four point three percent average annual increase. 568 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 7: There. 569 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 2: A number of produce items including cabbage, mandarins, and grapes 570 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,239 Speaker 2: were higher in June belt that is seasonal, but then 571 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 2: again you got chocolate. Chocolate's going through the roof. Noodle 572 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 2: Noodle's got higher in June as well, and all of 573 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 2: this comes together to make our food shopping two point 574 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 2: one percent higher. And most gallingly, it's higher because of 575 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 2: one of the very very products that we make ourselves, dairy, 576 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 2: and that's because of higher international prices. Good for the farmers, 577 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 2: not good for anyone going to the supermarket, so we'll 578 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 2: have more coverage of the grocery supplier index as the 579 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 2: day goes on. Right here on News TALKSB it is 580 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 2: now coming up eight minutes to six. 581 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth 582 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: analysis earlier this year with Andrew Dickens and x full 583 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: Insulation keeping Kiwi Holmes warm and dry. 584 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 2: This winter News Talks in me they're going to text 585 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 2: through here that says all this Wellington mayor or Shenanigans 586 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 2: is making Andrew Little look fantastic.

Ray Chung is not an experienced politician, 592 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 2: and he doesn't know how to play the game. The 593 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 2: email went a bit too far, far enough that the 594 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 2: Prime Minister decided to call it vile.

However, there's something about 612 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 2: Mount Smart. There's a magic about Mount Smart right now, 613 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 2: which was seen with orkand FC, We're seen it with 614 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 2: the Warriors. It's a twenty five to thirty thousand seater. 615 00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 2: It can look full, it looks like it's got an 616 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 2: atmosph and it's got one big area where they put 617 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 2: slides and pubs and bars and it looks like fun, 618 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 2: whereas Eden Park looks like a big concrete bob. But 619 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 2: I love Eating Park. I love it. I love it 620 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 2: for concerts, I love it for tests.

So why is everybody leaving the Rolls 623 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 2: Royce to go and travel in the Toyota Corolla. 624 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 7: I mean it's a very you ask a very good question, 625 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 7: and I just wonder. I wonder if actually what we 626 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 7: ought to be doing as a city, like there doesn't 627 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 7: seem to be proper coordination between you know, over things 628 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 7: like stadia. We've got a bunch of stadium Why don't 629 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 7: you make Mount Small. Oh, this is what I would do. 630 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 7: I'm not an expert. I would make Mount Smart the 631 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 7: stadium that does all the kind of cruddy stuff, right, 632 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 7: you do all the regular season stuff, Just do the 633 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 7: normal games, and then you make make Eden Park the 634 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 7: glory place. You go there for the playoffs, you go 635 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 7: there to the finals. You have them in the concerts. 636 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 2: The Warriors have disproved that because every time they go 637 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 2: to Eden Park they don't get the same sorts of 638 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 2: crowds that they get at Mount Smart. 639 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: You know. 640 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 2: And the other thing is Mount Smart. Mount Smart zonned 641 00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 2: by the people of Auckland, and that's in the City 642 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 2: Winding Park is owned by a trust that's actually a 643 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 2: private enterprise, that's our own thing. So in a way, 644 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 2: the rate payers would be going, oh hurrah, Yeah, we're 645 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 2: actually using the stuff that we've paid for. Meanwhile, North 646 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 2: Harbor Stadium is sitting in Albany not being used for anything. 647 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 7: Totally. We're going to talk about this on the show. Actually, 648 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 7: as you say, we're going to talk to Andrew Krorr 649 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 7: about it closer to eight o'clock. But also the NCAA. 650 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 7: Do you see the NCAA results have come through on 651 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 7: the pass rates for the exams. This is the corequisite. 652 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 7: You have to pass the corequisite to get your NCAA qualification. 653 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 7: I am shocked at how few kids can read and 654 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 7: write at year ten.
