1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: If we're one New Zealand, let's get connected and news

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: talk as they'd be.

3
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 2: Surely you can condom, condom, go you're so high that

4
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 2: you can't come them come.

5
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 1: Whether if you'd asked me a year ago, would I

6
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,159
Speaker 1: ever admire David cmoy I would have said no. But

7
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: I'm actually very impressed with him, not especially his politics,

8
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: but because he speaks well. We're going to talk to

9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: the huddle about that shortly. It's Tris Sherson. Oh no,

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: it's not. It's Joe Speganey who's back from the US,

11
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: so we'll talk to her about that as well. That'll

12
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: be fascinating. Also David Farah, both of whom have been

13
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: watching politics and working in it for the longest time,

14
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 1: so we'll get their take on how the government's gone

15
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: one year and in New Zealand. Now g was honestly,

16
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: I mean talk about a run of bad years for

17
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: a company and proving unable to turn it around. Air

18
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: New Zealand has has issued its half yearly earnings guidance

19
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: and it's down as much as thirty five percent lower

20
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: than a year ago. They're blaming the engines, so that's

21
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: kind of out of their hands. I guess to some

22
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,919
Speaker 1: extent question is it really just the engines anyway? Shane

23
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: Soley has been has been across us all day today.

24
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: He's going to be with us just about quarter past

25
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: six or thereabouts. Right now. It's twenty four away from six,

26
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: Heather Duperler. So the police are moving back into Auckland,

27
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: CBD be a new station on Federal Street, just one

28
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy meters from the big old police station

29
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: that police moved out of just a few years ago.

30
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: And the Minister Mark Mitchell is with us a match, Hi, Heather,

31
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: there was one upon a time there was one at

32
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: Ford Street. You didn't think about opening one there?

33
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: Well, the Federal Street one is just such a good

34
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 3: centralized location. It covers just about the entire CBD, including downtown.

35
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 3: So I just think that they thought strategically, you know,

36
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 3: it's just a very good location to have a storefront again,

37
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 3: which is actually a great announcement.

38
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: When are you actually having the storefront?

39
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 3: So from one understand is that when it's finally delivered

40
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: will be sort of early to mid next year.

41
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: Okay. Was it a mistake then to close down the

42
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: one just down the road at Merril drive.

43
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 3: Look, obviously those were decisions that were taken on previous

44
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 3: by previous governments. I know that I had a policing

45
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 3: career myself. I started at it as a beat cop

46
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 3: in the CBD and it was good having police officers

47
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 3: operating out of what was then the Wharf Police Station.

48
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 3: It was quite a popular place to go all beat constables.

49
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 3: But I think the federal street option is just such

50
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 3: a good option that centralized our beat officers are covering

51
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 3: the entire CBD. The feedback and anecdotal feedback has just

52
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 3: been fantastic, from shopkeepers, the retailers, residents, people coming into

53
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 3: work in the CBD. It really has had a big impact.

54
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 3: But I just want to say that it's been a

55
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 3: team effort. Auckland Council has been very good. We've had

56
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: government agencies, KOMSD, residents and rate pars groups, Business Association, CPNZ,

57
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 3: Mary Warden's Social Service Price. Everyone's come together and really

58
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 3: got focused in aligned with a strategy to make our

59
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 3: CBD much safer.

60
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: Mitch that photograph of the cop wearing the I think

61
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: it was a black power jacket. Why was he wearing

62
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: that patch?

63
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 3: Look, I don't know, I'm not going to speak for

64
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 3: him obviously, you know, disappointed that that happened, and I

65
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 3: know that he'll be feeling worse than anyone in terms

66
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: of you know, it's a poor reflection and he'll really

67
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 3: be feeling it. But you know, at the end of

68
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 3: the day, the police will deal with it internally.

69
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: Was it Because what I'm interested in knowing is just

70
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: whether he was sympathetic towards the gang or whether he

71
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: had confiscated at some stage for whatever reason and was

72
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: putting it on just being a bit silly.

73
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 3: I don't think it was being sympathetic towards the gang,

74
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 3: but I don't want to speculate, and I don't want

75
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 3: to speak for him, and the police now obviously deal

76
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 3: with it internally.

77
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, And what's going to happen to the police officers

78
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: who left the Prime Minister's itinerary on the dashboard?

79
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: Oh?

80
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 3: I think I think they'll get a bit of a

81
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 3: reminder not to do that. But look, at the end

82
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 3: of the day, we're all human and we all make mistakes,

83
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 3: and it was a minimum one, but it was a

84
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 3: good reminder. I'm sure it won't happen again. I've got

85
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 3: no idea. I don't know what was on it actually.

86
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: Okay, so it was like pops into bakery that type

87
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: of thing, rather than it.

88
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 3: Might have been there it might it might have been

89
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 3: might have been some of the prominis is myinery. But

90
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, most of that is

91
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 3: pretty well, it's already been broadcast ahead of time in

92
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 3: terms of where he's going.

93
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: It's not like anybody is very cross with Luxan, is it.

94
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: He's not on that a huge amount of threat, is he.

95
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 3: I'm not going to comment on that. Yeah, no, no, Look,

96
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 3: he's The short answer is no. But he's got a

97
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 3: very competent, world class DPS team there that are there

98
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 3: to deal with anything that may that may arise. And look,

99
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, everyone recognizes the fact

100
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 3: that that was a breaking a break in protocol. It's

101
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 3: a good reminder. I don't think it was DPS. I

102
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 3: think it was a police officers sort of supporting the visit.

103
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 3: And but you know, like I said, we're all human

104
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 3: and we will make mistakes, and I'm sure they won't

105
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 3: do it again too.

106
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: Right we do, all right, Mark, thank you very much,
