Speaker 3: Allegedly the gunman acted alone. Here's the Chancellor.

20
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 4: A school is more than just to please. It is

21
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 4: a space for trust, for feeling comfortable and for having

22
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 4: a future. It is a safe space and triply a

23
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 4: safe space, and this safe space has been violated, which

24
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 4: makes us feel powerless. In moments like this, we have

25
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:18,319

Speaker 5: operations in any state and any jurisdiction in the country,

00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 5: especially after twenty one million illegals have crossed our border

33
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 5: under the previous administration.

34
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,480

Speaker 3: Sorry, Pete, we will have more on these sanctions imposed

38
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 3: on the too far right Israeli ministers and I'll tell

39
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 3: you exactly what they have said as well that warrants

40
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 3: such a sanctioning the UK, Norway, Australia, Canada and New

41
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 3: Zealand were all signed up. Greta is back in Europe

00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 3: She's now in France.

44
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 4: They did an illegal act by kidnapping us on international

45
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 4: waters and against our will, bringing us to Israel, keeping us.

46
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 3: In the bottom of the thought love, letting us for getting.

47
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 6: Ours and so on.

48
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning, and the in depth

49
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: analysis earlier this year with Ryan Bridge and ex Bowl installation,

50
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: keeping Kiwi Holmes warm and dry this winter.

51
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 2: News talks at.

52
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 3: B eight after five News Talks at B So the

53
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 3: two ministers that are being sanctioned by our government and

54
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 3: by a bunch of others, the National Security Minister and

55
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 3: the Finance Minister. Now both of those are from a

56
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 3: different party to Netanya, who's a more extreme settler party,

57
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 3: but both of them are part of his cabinet, part

58
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 3: of his government, and so the action is not one

59
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 3: taken lightly. These guys have said. And I went back

60
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 3: and had a look at stuff that they've said. Back

61
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three, they were getting heat from even

62
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 3: the US, although it was under Biden, but getting heat

63
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 3: for things that they had said about wiping out entire

64
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 3: Palestinian villages in the West Bank. The Finance minister said that,

65
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 3: he said, I think it should be wiped off the

66
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: face of the planet, and so you know, and they've

67
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 3: been saying stuff like this for a while. So our

68
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 3: government has come out and said in Winston Peters is

69
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 3: in Rome at the moment. He's just been in France

70
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 3: doing other business, but he's in Rome for a bilateral

71
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 3: He's come out and said this morning, along with other

72
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 3: countries including Norway and Australia, that we will stand for

73
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 3: a two state solution. These guys have severely and deliberately

74
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 3: undermined that by personally advocating for the annexation of Palestinian

75
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 3: land and the expansion of the illegal settlements while inciting

76
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 3: violence and force displacement. He says, we have a history

77
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: of doing this to people who say stuff like this.

78
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 3: We did it to the Russians, did it to the Belarussians,

79
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 3: we did it in Myanmar, and we are doing it here.

80
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 3: So there's Winston Peters for you this morning, coming out

81
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 3: quite strong. I think the tide I mean, you see

82
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 3: the images coming out of Gaza. If you're a human being,

83
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 3: you feel disgusted, you know, you feel helpless, you feel like,

84
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 3: you know, this has got to be sorted. So maybe

85
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 3: the tide is starting to turn because these guys have been,

86
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: you know, saying awful crap for a long time. So

87
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 3: maybe this is just part of you know, the international

88
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 3: community starting to realize that perhaps those images of starving

89
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 3: children in Gaza are turning public sentiment. It's just gone

90
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 3: ten after eleven after five year. On news Talk said

91
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 3: B we're off to field Days. We'll get there next.

92
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 2: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan

93
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 2: Bridge and ex Fole Insulation keeping Kiwi Holmes warm and

94
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 2: dry this winter, News Talk said, be.

95
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 3: Five point thirteen on news Talk said, B, high frequency

96
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 3: data for you this morning. This is from A and Z.

97
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 3: This is their card spending. So it's fallen point one

98
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 3: percent in May from April. This is seasonally adjusted spending

99
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 3: up one point one percent compared to the same time

100
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 3: last year. So it's fallen month on month, but up

101
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 3: year on year. Durables spending is recovering. It's yeah, hospitality

102
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 3: remains soft, apparel still a problem, but the decline is

103
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 3: easing for most categories, which is I suppose a good

104
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 3: thing in the long run, but in the short run

105
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: it's down. It's sitting up to five. Hopefully they'll have

106
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 3: a different experience field Days this year. Thousands of visitors

107
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 3: are expected in Hamilton today, attracting a big international crowd

108
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 3: this year. The Germans are coming for the first time apparently.

109
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 3: I'm sure there have been one or two Germans who

110
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 3: have attended before, but there is some contingent coming. Former

111
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 3: sheep farmer Reece Gardner is going to be at the

112
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 3: event with his VR driving simulation company and he's with us. Now, Hey, rees,

113
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 3: how are you good? Thank you? You excited about today?

114
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 3: What do you think the farmers will have their wallets out?

115
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 7: I don't know. Yeah, I'm not sure. There's a lot

116
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 7: of rain overnight, so maybe maybe everyone's keen to sort

117
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 7: of get cracking this morning and get into it.

118
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 3: I'm not sure. What is the you've obviously there now?

119
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 3: Is the weather being quite bad? How bad overnight? How

120
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 3: much rain? We're talking lots.

121
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 7: I drove down from Workland last night and kind of

122
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 7: a monsoon, it seems, so, I don't know, it's probably

123
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 7: it felt like sort of Gimbridge kind of weather last night.

124
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 7: But yeah, I'm not sure. It seems to happen some years,

125
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 7: doesn't it. It just gets it just gets really wet here.

126
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, what are you offering at field Days this year?

127
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 7: So we're bringing some of the some of the vitality

128
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 7: stuff that we've been doing in the States with ATVs.

129
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 3: Okay, and what it to explain what that is?

130
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 7: I guess sort of virtuality is a way that you

131
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 7: can that you make mistakes and not get hurt. I'm

132
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 7: one of those sort of people that struggles to learn

133
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 7: from people telling me what to do. I kind of

134
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 7: need to do it myself. Often I'll be told what

135
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 7: to do and then and then kind of do the

136
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 7: opposite and then realize what I was supposed to do,

137
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 7: what the sort of expert or the experienced person is suggesting.

138
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 3: You learn by doing so. You're I think I've seen

139
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 3: you in one of your exhibitions. Your virtual reality headsets

140
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 3: basically allow you to do the driving the truck or

141
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 3: the tractor or whatever it is in a controlled environment

142
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 3: and then hopefully go out and do it better in

143
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 3: the real world. Yeah.

144
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 7: What we're doing now is recreating sort of actual accidents

145
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 7: or near misses and actual locations and putting those together

146
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 7: into scenarios where someone sort of makes it decision or

147
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 7: presents the situation and gives them a chance to make

148
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 7: a decision and then experience the outcomes of that.

149
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 3: What is the experiencing the outcomes feel like? Obviously not

150
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 3: like a real accident, but does it simulate that.

151
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 7: What we do is you make the decision from the

152
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 7: in the cab of the vehicle or whatever that vehicle

153
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 7: happens to be, and then sometimes we'll shift you outside

154
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 7: that vehicle so that you can see how that decision

155
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 7: is going to play out.

156
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 3: Interesting stuff, Reese. I appreciate your time this morning. I

157
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 3: have a great day a field days. It's Res Garden,

Speaker 3: a former sheep farmer, co founder of g Factor Edge.

159
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 3: It sounds like it's been raining a lot there. Sixteen

160
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 3: after five news talks, you'd be We're going to talk

161
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 3: about Queenstown. There's a group and I want to find

162
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 3: out who's funding them, but there's a group that wants

163
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 3: to electrify Queenstown, well the whole country, but Queenstown in particular.

164
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 3: We'll find out way next.

165
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio, Belly edition with

166
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and ex full installation Keeping Kiey Holmes Warm

167
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: and Dry this winter news Talk, saidb.

168
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 3: There's five nineteen on news Talk ZIBB Winston Peters's band. Well,

169
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 3: the government here has banned a couple of Israeli ministers

170
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 3: from ever traveling here. While traveling here, while they're on

171
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 3: a sanctioned list and the UK is drawing this action.

172
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 3: Winston Peters, I've just been told he's in Rome right now,

173
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 3: not doing any media on this, but Gavin gray is

174
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 3: he's our UK europe correspondence, so we'll speak to him

175
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 3: just before six. Right. It is now nineteen after five.

176
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 3: Bryan Bridge with a group called Rewiring Altiera. They're posing

177
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 3: a serious challenge to the residents of Queenstown. They want

178
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 3: to see the city become the world's most electrified destination.

179
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 3: To help with this, they've launched the Queenstown Electrification Accelerator

180
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 3: to help homes and businesses save money while switching to electric.

181
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 3: Mike Case is the CEO with me this morning. Get

182
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 3: a Mike, Good morning, Ryan. How are you very well?

183
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 3: Thank you, good to have you on the program. First

184
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 3: of all, your group Rewiring al Here. Why have you

185
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 3: started this group? Where do you get your funding? What's

186
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 3: going on with it? Yeah?

187
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 8: So, I'm an originally electric cherry farmer from central Otago.

188
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 8: So I electrified my entire farm twenty one electric machines

189
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 8: and started jumping up and down about the savings opportunities

190
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 8: on farm and eventually expanded into creating or helping to

191
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 8: create an NGO that is funded by a lot of

192
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 8: philanthropers in New Zealand now, which is all about helping

193
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 8: the rest of New Zealand to sort of realize the

194
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 8: huge savings potential from converting off Saudi Arabian molecules and

195
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 8: onto New Zealand homegrown electrons.

196
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 3: Why have you picked Queenstown? Why are you picking on Queenstown.

197
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 8: I We're not picking on Queenstown. We think Queenstown is

198
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 8: possibly the best opportunity we have to start doing the

199
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 8: real world action to start trying out all the things

200
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 8: that need to happen to massively or quickly electrify a

201
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 8: particular place. We think the business community is really aligned

202
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 8: under their carbon zero twenty thirty targets that were set

203
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 8: by the council. The councilor is really aligned and we

204
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 8: have a lot of very active community members in the

205
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 8: space that are super excited about the opportunity that's available.

206
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 8: Queenstown has some of the highest energy prices in New Zealand,

207
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 8: so it's a really good place to start. And also

208
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 8: it's got a lot of problems with potential resilience issues

209
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 8: from things like the Southern Alpine fault. So having Queenstown

210
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 8: generate and store a lot of its energy itself and

211
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 8: having machine the Queenstown that can use the energy that

212
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 8: it can generate and store itself is pretty good stuff.

213
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 3: It sounds like a great idea. The only problem is

214
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 3: how much it costs to actually do that, right, I mean,

215
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 3: otherwise we'd all have solar panels on our roofs totally.

216
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 8: And so this is one of the key things about

217
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 8: why we're focusing very closely now on a particular community

218
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 8: is we want to make sure that everything from group

219
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 8: buying deals are set up to going and negotiating on

220
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 8: behalf of the community for things like financing deals. One

221
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 8: of the biggest barriers to overcome is that upfront capital

222
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 8: cost of say putting solt panels on your roof and

223
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 8: a battery in your garage and getting gas out of

224
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 8: the home. But we're now at a position, especially in

225
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 8: places like Queenstown, where the capital repayments and the interest

226
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 8: repayments on financing new electric technology may end up actually

227
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 8: being cheaper than your current energy costs. So it means

228
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 8: people can save money from day one.

229
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 3: Do you think that because I've looked at doing this

230
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 3: myself in Auckland. But do you think people just maybe

231
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 3: aren't aware of that fact yet and once you tell

232
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 3: them they will do something.

233
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 8: Well, I've got to challenge to you. My secret goal

234
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 8: has been to get solar panels on like Hoskin's roof.

235
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 8: But maybe I should change that to riot and we'll

236
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 8: sit down together and I will run you through the details,

237
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 8: and I reckon within half an hour to forty five minutes,

238
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 8: we can convince you of the economics of it. And yes,

239
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 8: did John your wade?

240
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 3: Do you know what? It would be easy to get

241
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 3: me across the line and someone hopefully will throw in

242
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 3: something free and I'll do it. I'll do it tomorrow.

243
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 3: Hosking is a different kettle of fish because I don't know,

244
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 3: I feel like putting solar panels on his roof would

245
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 3: be some sort of existential crisis for him.

246
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 8: You know, I think at the end of the day,

247
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 8: I'm doing a lot of this with farmers of New Zealand.

248
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 8: And you know, there's a lot of people who you know,

249
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 8: might approach this with a level of suspicion, and I

250
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 8: think rightly so, because there has been a lot of

251
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 8: virtue signaling in this space for a long time. But

252
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 8: even now I reckon you know, you give him a

253
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 8: spreadsheet and he looks at it, He'll be like, Okay,

254
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 8: I can see the value in doing this. Well, so does.

255
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 3: The other problem we've had, I think with climate change

256
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 3: and with with renewable energy in general, is just that

257
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 3: there's there's people who just come across as tosses who

258
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 3: espouse it. Now I'm not there's not you might obviously,

259
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 3: but I'm just saying it's it's had a bad rap

260
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 3: I think with Middle New Zealand. Is that fair to say.

261
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 8: I think that's one hundred percent fair to say. And

262
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 8: I've caught my fierce air of flack as a result

263
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 8: of that. You know, you kind of get tired with

264
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 8: the same brush. But when you start to, you know,

265
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 8: talk about economics rather than emissions, and start talking about,

266
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 8: you know, the benefits to the actual individual from doing

267
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 8: this rather than the you know so much about, say

268
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 8: climate and the emissions associated with it, you start to

269
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 8: win people over. And I've been doing it, one farmer

270
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 8: at a time on farm. I'm off the field days

271
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 8: today very excited because there's some major packages that are

272
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 8: being announced for solar and electrification of farms in general.

273
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 8: And yeah, now it's about doing it at the same

274
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 8: thing at the residential levels, starting in Queenstown.

275
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 3: Good on you, Mike, and I think that nothing ventured,

276
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 3: nothing gained, and what's the harm. You know, someone wants

277
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 3: to put a solar panel on there, who cares? They're

278
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 3: not paying for it, and that I think is the

279
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 3: important message and all of this. Mike, thank you very

280
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 3: much for coming on the program. They're enthusiastic about field days,

281
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 3: was Mike, and that is great to hear. Mike Casey

282
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 3: rewiring Alto's CEO. Just go one twenty four minutes after

283
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 3: five year on news talk ship. There has been some

284
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 3: funny texts about our previous kiss rees and Reeson. If

285
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 3: you're listening, you were fantastic. But there was a couple

286
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 3: of people who just said that poor old Reesa un

287
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 3: like he'd just woken up. Maybe he wasn't ready for

288
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 3: the for the experience. Paul and Ross and John and Sally,

289
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 3: I hear you. Thank you. Twenty five minutes after find

290
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 3: via on news talk ship. Coming up next, talk about

291
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 3: the councils and their rates. You know, your house value dropping,

292
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 3: not your CV, because that's not real, but your real

293
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 3: house value dropping and your rate's going up. What's up

294
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 3: with that?

295
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: The early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio power by News.

296
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 3: Talks ITV News Talks eb is twenty seven minutes after five.

297
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 3: If you're in Auckland and waking up this morning feeling poorer,

298
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,239
Speaker 3: it's because you are. It's because we all are. Cvs

299
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 3: down nine percent, rates up six percent at the start

300
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 3: of the month. That's an extra two hundred and twenty

301
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 3: three bucks a year.

302
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 8: Now.

303
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 3: The cvs aren't the market value, obviously, but the market

304
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 3: value of our houses has also dropped, and so it's

305
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 3: right that we feel poorer. We are. But SPIRITHO for Wellington,

306
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 3: cvs down twenty four percent, rates up seventeen percent. No

307
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 3: thank you. Everyone's asking why are we paying more when

308
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 3: our houses are worthless. The answer is just because it's

309
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 3: how councils collect money and they have few options to

310
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 3: do it any other way. I saw a graph yesterday

311
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 3: in defensive councils. This is a tax as a percentage

312
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 3: of GDP since for over the last one hundred and

313
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 3: thirty years, since the eighteen hundreds, the blue line was

314
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 3: central government. They tax us through income you know, spending

315
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 3: by a GST a whole bunch of stuff was up

316
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 3: around thirty percent, peaked at about thirty five percent of GDP. Greedy, disgraceful,

317
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 3: poor old in Orange. Your councils basically flatlining for the

318
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 3: last seventy years at two percent of GDP. This is

319
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 3: why they want more options to make money, like charging

320
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 3: rates on government buildings in their districts, because yes, the

321
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 3: government doesn't pay rates at present. But rude, isn't it.

322
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 3: We have to. It's why Wayne Brown wants other leavers

323
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 3: to pull like bed taxes. But here's the problem. They

324
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 3: have a good argument for more funding streams, but they

325
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 3: keep blowing up their sympathy with dumb, expensive, useless stuff

326
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 3: like cycle ways and raised estring crossings and road coming

327
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 3: measures and food scrap bins we have to pay for.

328
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 3: The list goes on. The problem councils have is that

329
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 3: nobody wants to give more money to somebody who wastes it.

330
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 3: For as long as that keeps happening, their sympathy tank

331
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 3: is on empty.

332
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge Talk said b twenty.

333
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,560

Speaker 3: and Gavin Gray on the United Front against these Israeli ministers.

335
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 3: Here all ahead on news Talk said, byam.

Speaker 9: For you person over again.

337
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: News and Views you trust to start your day. It's

338
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: earlier this ship with Ryan Bridge at Expol Insulation Keeping, Kiwi, Holmes,

339
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: Warm and Drey this winter. News Talk said, b't you

340
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: it don't.

341
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 3: America E two prting twenty four away from six zero

342
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 3: on news Talk said be happy Field Days everybody to

343
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 3: whoever's heading there morning, Ryan and Hamilton says Peter. There's

344
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 3: one hundred and seventy seven thousand customers paying rates to

345
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 3: the council. They still can't live within their means. It's

346
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 3: the only business in the world where you give more money,

347
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 3: you pay thousands of dollars more and they still can't

348
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 3: live within their means. It just keeps expanding. Best business

349
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 3: in the world. Yeah, I understand that, and I think

350
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 3: problem for them is they spend money on dumb stuff.

351
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 3: And I mean in Hamilton, what about those those cones

352
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 3: they put in the middle of the road. They have

353
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 3: a funny name like Checrone or something. Their new traffic

354
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 3: calming measures. I've been reading about those in the last week.

355
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 3: They put put them up in three different places, one

356
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 3: in Tamaheiti. Just dumb places and locals don't want them.

357
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 3: Locals tried to pull them out, rip them out themselves

358
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 3: at night. That's how much they hated them. Anyway, the

359
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 3: councils now remove them. How much did that cost?

360
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 6: You know?

361
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 3: Just stop doing dumb stuff, thank you very much. Twenty

362
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 3: three away from six. Just get to our reporters around

363
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 3: the country, cullumproc and needing for us this morning. Come

364
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 3: good morning. You've got a plea from firefighters at the

365
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 3: South Yeah, morning, Ryan.

366
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 10: They're urging the public here to take more care when

367
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 10: driving around accident scenes amid arise and staff being put

368
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 10: in unsafe positions.

369
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 3: Fire and emergencies say.

370
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 10: It's a big problem across the country, but particularly here

371
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,239
Speaker 10: in Otago and Southland. They say recent incidents include a

372
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 10: car speeding through a traffic accident site near Clyde, showing

373
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 10: no regard for the safety of emergency service personnel there

374
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 10: and listen to. This is also a case of a

375
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 10: member of the public driving on the wrong side of

376
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 10: the road past firefighters managing traffic before a confrontation where

377
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,239
Speaker 10: a man attempted to pull a firefighter out of the

378
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 10: cab of a fire truck. So Fians are saying, look,

379
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 10: these people are endangering themselves, motorists, emergency services and of

380
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 10: course the people involved in the emergency.

381
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 3: They're responding to goodness me, they don't touch a fireman.

382
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 10: How's the weather they're colum showers turned to rain today

383
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 10: here strong easterly as the highest ten.

384
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 3: Brilliant, Thank you please. In christ Church, hey clear, good morning,

385
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 3: good morning. Now you've got a new alcohol well talking

386
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 3: about a new alcohol.

387
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 11: Policy there, Yeah, Christchurch City Counselors are going to be

388
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 11: talking this local alcohol policy today. It's part of our

389
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 11: draft annual plan. This would set the rules around the number,

390
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 11: location and opening hours of any licensed premises, as well

391
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 11: as some other regulations. There are three proposals that they

392
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 11: are considering. They include limiting the trading hours of off

393
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 11: licenses to nine pm, freezing new off licenses in high

394
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 11: deprivation areas, and there's also one which would restrict bottle

395
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 11: stores near sensitive sites so those sites are the likes

396
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 11: of addiction centers or schools. Thirty groups and individuals who

397
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 11: have had their say during submissions will be heard at

398
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 11: Council today. Council will then consider that feedback alongside recommendations

399
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 11: from the likes of police and health officials, with a

400
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 11: final decision due in August.

401
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 3: Okay, how's your weather clip?

402
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 12: More rain for.

403
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 11: Christ Church today, easterly strengthening too and a high of

404
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 11: nine degrees.

405
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 3: I'm interested in this idea that Clears just mentioned that

406
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 3: you hide things from people. You know, if you don't

407
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 3: put an alcohol store near a school, then kids won't

408
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 3: want to drink alcohol. I was talking to my dairy

409
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 3: only you say. She said that we have to hide

410
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 3: the vapes from the streets. Soon when they in a

411
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 3: couple of weeks, they're going to have to. If you

412
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 3: can see a vape from the street, you'll be arrested

413
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 3: and thrown in jail. So she does that stop you?

414
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 3: I mean, if you're somebody who likes to smoke or

415
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 3: vapor drink, the fact that it's hidden behind a curtion,

416
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 3: is that going to really think?

417
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 4: So?

418
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 3: Anyway? Max Is and Wellington, Good morning, Max, good morning.

419
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 3: Now you've had quite a tragic case in the capital

420
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 3: and questions about safety now on the waterfront.

421
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, so this was last year Jareth Calhoun. He died

422
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 6: after jumping from the thirty eight meters floating crane that's

423
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 6: permanently moored in the harbor of the Hicky Tea. It

424
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 6: doesn't look very high from the harbour side, but it's

425
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 6: the equivalent of a twelve story building. This guy was

426
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 6: He had meth and alcohol in his system, which a

427
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 6: coroner has now found was ultimately the reason he died,

428
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 6: but he hit the water at an estimated one hundred

429
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 6: kilometers an hour. Quite a few people around it was

430
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 6: the MANU World Championships that day, which I'm sure probably

431
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 6: spurred him to get up there as well and try

432
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 6: to emulate that. A coroner blaming that substance abuse as well.

433
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 6: The coldness of the water also a factor in the death,

434
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 6: not for the first time. The lack of safety measures

435
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 6: around the waterfront has also been criticized. That is being

436
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 6: looked down at the council at the moment. Fencing's gone

437
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 6: up and they're looking at other measures as well.

438
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 3: You can it is tragic, but I mean, if somebody

439
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 3: has got myth and booze in their system and is

440
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 3: jumping off a twelve story thing could be anything, couldn't it.

441
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, there was a sign up at the time that said,

442
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 6: you know, cautioned warning, don't come aboard. Basically, don't climb

443
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 6: the crane, but the coroner did say that other safety

444
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 6: measures were probably necessary as well.

445
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 3: Okay, as you're with her.

446
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,719
Speaker 6: For much of the day. Thunderstorms possible fifteen the high Central.

447
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 3: Enjoy that, Max Neighvas and Auckland. Hey, Neva, good morning.

448
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 13: Did you spill more water? Because you've got a raft

449
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 13: of papers on your desk. Here's about fifty pieces of paper.

450
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 13: And I thought the only time you have a lot

451
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 13: of papers is when you've spilled. You've spiled something.

452
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 3: I have a lot of papers every morning.

453
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 13: Oh you're channeling Mike.

454
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 4: I don't.

455
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 3: I don't come in just this smart, I need support, right,

456
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 3: I forgot right. What it is is that I've got

457
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 3: a whole bunch of these are from the last few

458
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 3: days and quite messily put together because they were late

459
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,719
Speaker 3: my little man bag, right, so they look scruffy. They

460
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 3: do probably just making the situation.

461
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 13: Look, oh, you look really smart, like it's all over

462
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 13: the show, and leave it there, because you know how

463
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 13: Mike will come in and he'll go get a folder.

464
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 3: Put them nicely. He has his own little bag, yes,

465
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 3: but also his papers are all very neat.

466
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 13: Yes, look at the your papers need to be iron

467

Speaker 3: You talk to Big Gavin Gray is our UK. You're

487
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,479
Speaker 3: correspondent with me this morning. Gavin, Good morning, Hi, there

488
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 3: are and eleven people have died following this shooting. It's

489
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 3: had a secondary school in Austria. What more do we know?

490
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, the second largest city in our Austria. Gratz happened

491
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 9: at ten am local time, and in the last ninety

492
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 9: minutes that death toll has risen in total to eleven.

493
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 9: That's ten victims plus the suspect. It is believed that

494
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 9: the killer was twenty one years old, lived in the

495
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 9: city and he killed himself in the toilet of the school,

496
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 9: having used two guns which he legally owned. Now we

497
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 9: don't know yet his name, but we do know he

498
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 9: was a former student. He'd never finished his studies there

499
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 9: and apparently the local media are reporting he left a

500
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 9: message at his home. We don't know a great deal

501
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 9: about the victims so far, but the death toll was increased,

502
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 9: it's said by the death of an adult in hospital.

503
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 9: Another adult has critical injuries. It is thought those were

504
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 9: staff members, possibly teachers. Three hundred police officers attended the

505
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 9: scene after the shooting to ensure that the school was

506
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 9: evacuated and it looks like Austria is going to be

507
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 9: having three days of morning over the coming few days.

508
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, the UK has joined us, the Australian, the Canadians

509
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 3: of the Norwegians and placing travel bands on these two

510
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 3: extremist Israeli politicians.

511
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 9: Yes so it Ama Bengivier and Bezalal Smartrik are both

512
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 9: being banned from entering the countries named and will have

513
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 9: any assets in those countries frozen. They are the National

514
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 9: Security Minister and the Finance Minister of the Israeli government respectively,

515
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 9: and both the according to the Group of Nations in

516
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 9: this gathering, that is New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Norway and

517
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 9: the UK. Both are saying that they have incited extremist

518
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 9: violence and serious abuses of Palestinian human rights. Both ministers

519
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 9: oppose allowing aid into Gaza, and they both called for

520
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 9: Palestinians there to be resettled outside the territory. Now in

521
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 9: response to this, Israel is fuming. They are saying it's

522
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 9: outrageous that elected representatives and members of the government are

523
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 9: subjected to these kinds of measures. But let's not forget

524
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 9: within the Israeli government, it is a coalition and these

525
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 9: ministers led ultra nationalist parties in the governing coalition, holding

526
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 9: a total of some thirteen seats between them.

527
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 3: Gavin, appreciate your analysis this morning. As always, Gavin Gray

528
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 3: are UK europe Correspondent twelve away from six Ryan Bridge.

529
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 3: Back home. You report out this morning from the Mental

530
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 3: Health and Wellbeing commissioned. Drug overdose deaths here have almost

531
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,479
Speaker 3: doubled in under a decade, and the amount of people

532
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 3: accessing specialist mental health and addiction intervention, in other words, help,

533
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,719
Speaker 3: is continuing to trend downward. So what's up with that?

534
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 3: Sarah Helm, the NZID Drug Foundation Executive Director, with me

535
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 3: this morning.

536
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 2: Sarah, good morning, Good morning.

537
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 3: How do those two things compute? You've got more death

538
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 3: and you've got less help.

539
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 14: Yeah, actually that's true across a couple of different areas.

540
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 14: So we've had a really concern and growth of overdose

541
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 14: fatalities over a number of years now, and we lose

542
00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 14: three New Zealanders every week to entirely prevent accidental drug overdose.

543
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 14: Alongside that, we know that there's a certain part of

544
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 14: the population, particularly middle aged people, who if they experience

545
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 14: and overdose, aren't seeking help, they aren't turning up to hospital.

546
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 14: And also we've had a decline and access to addiction services,

547
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 14: so that really spells some problems for our community.

548
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 3: So how many people dive overdose in a year.

549
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 14: One hundred and eighty eight in twenty twenty three, and

550
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 14: now just for comparison, that's over half the road toll

551
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 14: and more than twice the number of people that we

552
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 14: lose to drowning, and that compares about the same over

553
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 14: a number of years now.

554
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 3: And how does that compare to other countries.

555
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 14: Yeah, well, we've historically been so lucky compared to other

556
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 14: countries that I think that we just haven't really paid

557
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 14: attention to this. So our organization over a few years

558
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 14: now have been compiling statistics ourselves out of coronial data

559
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 14: and out of hospitalizations, and it's really showing that we

560
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 14: need to be genuinely concerned about this. And we know

561
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 14: that we also are at risk and do have already

562
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 14: some of the potent opioids that are causing the problems

563
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 14: in North America. We need to act to make sure

564
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 14: that we don't continue to exacerbate this.

565
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 3: What drug are they taking to odeon? Generally? What is it? Heroin?

566
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 14: The leading types of substances so often is more than

567
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 14: one two thirds of cases of medicine is involved. We're

568
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 14: talking opioids. Alcohol and benzodiazepines are the main culprits. That

569
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 14: might be anything from tramadol to you morphine in the mix,

570
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 14: so legal stuff.

571
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 3: Interesting. Sarah, appreciate your time. This morning. Thanks so much

572
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 3: for coming on. Sarah, how means in Drug FUNDA an

573
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 3: executive director That report out this morning from the Mental

574
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 3: Health and Well Being Commissioned nine away from six on

575
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 3: News Talk ZB. Coming up next, I'll tell you about

576
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 3: Michael be here obviously, but I'll tell you about the

577
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 3: what the speed at which you walk can tell you

578
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 3: about your brain.

579
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on earlier issue with ex pole insulation keeping

580
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: Kiwi homes warm and try this winter news.

581
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 3: Talks IB it is seven away from six. Ryan, the

582
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 3: problem with vape sellers because I was saying earlier my

583
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 3: local dairy owner. She's complaining because the regulations are changing.

584
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 3: So at the moment if you walk past the dairy

585
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 3: you can look in and see a vape for sale,

586
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 3: it will change. So they have to basically put curtains

587
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 3: up or a big wall or something you cannot see

588
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 3: it from the road. Ryan, problem with vape sellers is

589
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 3: you now have shops with really bright lights and the

590
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 3: demeanor of the shop is obviously to attract customers. Vaping

591
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 3: is obviously just another poison and they should be hidden

592
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 3: from view. But will that stop people from using them?

593
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 3: You know, hiding alcohol behind a curtain stop people from

594
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 3: wanting it. I didn't think it would.

595
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 2: Six to six Bryan Bridge.

596
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 3: Mike's here, Good morning, Mike.

597
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 12: That's what they do in supermarkets. You realize on certain days,

598
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 12: like an Easter, they hide the booze behind them.

599
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 3: But that's because you can't buy it.

600
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 12: No, that's what I'm saying. But I mean, and answering

601
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 12: to your question, if it's hidden behind a curtain on

602
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 12: Easter Sunday, do you suddenly go cool, I'll give up drinking.

603
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 12: Of course you don't.

604
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 3: No, No, that's right, No, you don't.

605
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 12: What franchise if you were going to buy a franchise?

606
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 12: What franchise would you buy? I'm sorry, this is what

607
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 12: I do. Come and don't give.

608
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:35,479
Speaker 2: Me your arm.

609
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 3: Here's another weird from Mike.

610
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 12: So what what franchise would you buy? Are you interested

611
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 12: in buying franchise at all?

612
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 3: Just generally?

613
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 12: Yeah, just generally.

614
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 3: Are you Robert Wayne or something exactly?

615
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 12: Are you an entrepreneur?

616
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think I would be here if I was.

617
00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 12: Okay, So if you were, then so say they lay

618
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 12: you off here? So things don't go that well. And

619
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 12: I wouldn't listen to the rumors at the moment.

620
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 3: Just stick with it. But if you intended up in

621
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 3: the market for a franchise, yes, what would you buy? Yeah,

622
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 3: maybe a hair salon a franchise like Rodney Wayne. So

623
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 3: I know. I think what I do is because people

624
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 3: talk about laundromats been quite good little money spinners. Yeah.

625
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 3: So and I've got a friend who owns a bunch

626
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 3: of laundromats and he's quite rich. So maybe I'd do

627
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 3: a laund WELLNIMM minimal effort. Minimal eff My answer, they

628
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 3: do themselves and bring in the cash.

629
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 12: You'd have a little bit of maintenance and stuff like

630
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 12: that because you go on you know, number sevens broken,

631
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 12: so you have to do something about that. People for that,

632
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 12: I would that's a that's a better answer tonight. I'd

633
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 12: go practical like Jim's mowing, so we can all mow,

634
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 12: we can all do line.

635
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 3: So labor intensive.

636
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 12: Fitness outdoors and keeps you happy. Whereas your laundry thing,

637
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 12: I think is better.

638
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 3: But do you mow your lawns now?

639
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 2: Of course I don't.

640
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 12: So why because well, because it's people buying a franchise.

641
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 12: Why would you buy a franchise? Which is the next

642
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 12: interesting thing? Are you naturally an entrepreneur or are you're

643
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 12: finding yourself given the economic circumstances out of work and

644
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 12: you think.

645
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 3: I might the latter people, it's like the Avon people

646
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 3: become Avon ladies.

647
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 12: There's no such thing as an a lady, No they do.

648
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:17,280

654
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 3: having a boss, and this is sort of a middle step.

655
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 12: You see a lot of it in the corporate cab
