Speaker 2: The Titan sub update now, Ocean Gates co founder has

24
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: given almost two hours of evidence at the US Coastguards

25
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 2: inquiry into last year's sub explosion. This was not.

26
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 4: Supposed to happen, right, This shouldn't have happened.

27
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: And I don't know what happened.

28
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 5: I don't know who made what decision when and based

29
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 5: on what information.

30
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,280

00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 6: Will have renew this.

32
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: Okay, this sounds pretty useful so far. The Tongededo Chateau

33
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: Hotel could be decommissioned. Locals aren't happy. This is because

34
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: DOC has decided not to open expressions of interest for

35
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: third party investors to take over the place. The Mayor's upset.

36
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 5: Everyone that's got a story about the Shadow in some

37
00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 5: shape or form.

38
00:01:58,960 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 7: It's just a life.

39
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 5: People just don't want to pull things down when they

40
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 5: will have a future if we play it right.

41
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: Chip is having a great time in Liverpool At the

42
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: UK Labour Party conference. Chancellor Rachel Reeves was first up

43
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: to speak.

44
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 8: Let me say one thing straight up, there will be

45
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 8: no return to austerity.

46
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: Outside people not buying it Starma, wearing his flashy clothes

47
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: and cutting winter energy payments.

48
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 6: It does nothing. You doing nothing for us. It's just

49
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 6: taken everything's away from us. Definitely disappointed. Yeah, he just

50
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 6: doesn't considered what he's doing at all.

51
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: And finally, in the agenda this morning in Denver, this

52
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: is in the United States, there is a plan to

53
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 2: give up to one thousand dollars per month to homeless people,

54
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: not all of them.

55
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 9: The Denver City Council is saying they only want their

56
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 9: money to go to women and transgender and gender non

57
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 9: conforming homeless people.

58
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 2: No, Matt.

59
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 10: Okay, what is.

60
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day early

61
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture

62
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: beds and a playing store news talks.

63
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: Be I don't really find that follow the logic. They

64
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: are about three times as many men homeless in this

65
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 2: particular area, apparently compared to women. Anyway, what do we

66
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 2: think of Nikola willis going hard on the working from

67
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: homers the civil servants. Nine two nine two is the

68
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 2: number to text. I see already the unions have come

69
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: out and the unions are saying this is a quote

70
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: from one of the unionists on the radio yesterday. The

71
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: issue here is it's not the working from home. They say,

72
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: it's that the government doesn't care about Wellington and the economy.

73
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: If they did, they wouldn't have cut thousands of hard

74
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: working public servants jobs. I think we're at six thousand

75
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: jobs and counting. It's a total distraction. Really, are you

76
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: kidding me? So if six thousand people go to work

77
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: don't produce anything, we just keep paying them because why communism?

78
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: You know? Anyway, I think it's a good thing. I

79
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 2: think it's about time they did this. I know people

80
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: who work in Wellington and they do work. They do

81
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: have Monday and Friday off, you know, they do do

82
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 2: some work. The other thing here is the family issue.

83
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: You might have seen this in the press conference yesterday.

84
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: They keep saying if you've got children, then you should

85
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 2: have some somehow you should be exempt, or you should

86
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 2: have special rules and regulations. How do we feel about that?

87
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: Nine two nine two. I mean, what if you're a

88
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 2: single person with a dog, Not that I'm speaking of

89
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: anyone in particular, but why should you Why should you

90
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: not be afforded the same flexibility just because you don't

91
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 2: have children? Some people can't have children, for goodness sakes,

92
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 2: How fair is that? Nine two nine two the n

93
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: I'm just text eleven minutes after five, just staying in

94
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 2: the States very quickly for a second, because the other

95
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 2: day I was driving my car and there's a spot

96
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 2: up by K Road in Central Auckland, which is quite

97
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: busy because they've put cycle lanes and bus lanes. Anyway,

98
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: there are beggars always on this intersection. There's a petrol

99
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 2: station on the corner. You'll know the one I'm talking

100
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 2: about if you're familiar, and you'll have these all over

101
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: the country. Should you give money to the beggars? I

102
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: always look in my review mirror at people doing it

103
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 2: because I don't do it. I think it's dangerous to

104
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: do it. There. It's a busy arterial route. You know,

105
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: they're walking in the middle of the road. Some of

106
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: them even whack your window, and I just think, don't

107
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 2: do it. It's dangerous and it's not helping them, is it.

108
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: Nine two ninety two. Would like to know what you

109
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 2: think about that. Anyway down the road from Denver, this

110
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 2: is in Colorado County. They have nearly eradicated their homeless problem.

111
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: Apparently putting messages out and notices up saying handouts don't help.

112
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 2: There are seventy signs with the message at intersections across

113
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: the county. Apparently it's having some success. Twelve minutes after five.

114
00:05:55,240 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 10: Ryan Bridge Lots more to come here on early edition,

00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: The cash cows of one and not to Eca in particular.

117
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 2: We'll talk to them in the next half hour. Also,

118
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: if you have a smart car, I'll tell you why

119
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 2: a ban from the White House might be affecting all

120
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 2: of us in the years to come.

121
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with

122
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and

123

Speaker 1: a flying Store Youth Talk.

124
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: Said be fourteen after five Tuesday morning. Good to have

125
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 2: your company. The Sydney Morning Herald has a poll out

126
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 2: to voters apparently turning on labor and turning on elbow.

127
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 2: In the Big States New South Wales and Victoria. The

128
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 2: election over there member is duly September next year, but

129
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: he could call it any time between now and then.

130
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,239
Speaker 2: The trend has cut the government's primary vote to twenty

131
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: nine percent in New South Wales and just thirty percent

132
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 2: in Victoria. That is below the results that got at

133
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 2: the last election nationally. If you're interested, Dustn't and Elbow

134
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 2: are neck and neck and there are loads of undecided.

135
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: It's about thirty percent undercided between the two of them.

136
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 2: At the moment. Labor could still lead a minority government

137
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 2: there because you've got your independence and you've got your Greens,

138
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 2: who obviously swing left. But this will put the woolies up.

139
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 2: Labor and Donnad de Mayo, our Australia correspondent, is with

140
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 2: us at quarter two Bridge. Get back to work. That's

141
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 2: the message from the government to civil servants and affairs

142
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 2: of productivity loss skiving off and CBD cafes and restaurants

143
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 2: going to the wall. Lots of your texts on this

144
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: first though, Alistair Boyce, Oh sorry, here's Nichola Willis.

Speaker 5: Choosing not to come to your physical place of work

146
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 5: does have an impact on your team and your wider community.

147
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 5: If it's possible for you to work in the office.

148
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 7: You should.

149
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: Alistair Boyce is the back backbencher pub owner and he's

150
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 2: with us this morning. Good morning, Alistair, good day, Ryan.

151
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:58,520

152
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, good to have you on the show. Tell me

153
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: will this make a difference.

154
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 4: Oh? Absolutely, We've really been missing our key clients from

155
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 4: the public sector. But we're fully with Nikola Willis and

156
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 4: what she's saying, and we also agree with it. It's

157
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 4: about the outcomes of the public sector. It's not all

158
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 4: about getting Wellington moving again, because then some other real

159
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 4: vicious problems going on in the Wellington microeconomy. Absolutely apart

160
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 4: from the civil servants with the work from home saga.

161
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 2: What do you think and we'll get to those in

162
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 2: a sect, But what do you think is been more

163
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: damaging the civil service cuts from national or the work

164
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 2: from home policy that's been lingering since COVID.

165
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 4: Our work from home without a doubt.

166
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 2: And what are the other issues you're talking about in Wellington?

167
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 4: Well these are more related to our dysfunctional city council

168
00:08:54,960 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 4: where they destroy our businesses. And as you know, most

169
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 4: small businesses do try and get locations on arterial routes

170
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 4: and busy put traffic streets. But what they've done with

171
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 4: all these streets has ripped them up, put in cycleways

172
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 4: and cut us off from our customers. And the next

173
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 4: one they're planning to do it all the way on

174
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 4: Courtney Place, which will cut out cars as well. The

175
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 4: other thing they've cut out is a huge amount of

176
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 4: car parks, and they've done roadworks on theorial routes and

177
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 4: forming Keys to Classic which will be going on for

178
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 4: some years. And they'd already done at a key and

179
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 4: that those roadworks talk about eight months. Multiple problem.

180
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 2: How much have your rates gone up?

181
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,239
Speaker 4: Oh, that's the other thing. The disposable income of Wellington

182
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 4: citizens and residents is now coming to an all time low.

183
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 4: So most of us have endured over twenty percent increase

184
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 4: in rates this year. The long term plan is patently ridiculous.

185
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 4: It's got over ten percent, over fifteen percent and increases

186
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 4: despite the Maya telling us that decreases an increases planned

187
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 4: for ten years is never going to be a decrease.

188
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 4: And what this does kills the wider economy so that

189
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 4: they don't have the disposable income for the hospitality and

190
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 4: retail centers, and they don't come into town because they

191
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 4: have access and parking issues.

192
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I won't ask you the question, Alistair, but

193
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 2: I would hate to think. I would hate to imagine

194
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 2: what the combination of all of these things is doing

195
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: to business the value of a business in Wellington right

196
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 2: now as well. Thank you very much for your time

197
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 2: this morning. Appreciate you burning up earlier with me Alistair

198

Speaker 2: Boyce backbench of pub owner. Lots of texts on this

199

Speaker 2: Twenty one after five. Paul says Ryan working from home

204
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 2: is a privilege, not a right, and a number of

205
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 2: young people think that it is a right and that

206
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 2: they are God's gift to the workforce. They need to

207
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 2: be put into line. A lot of support for Nicola

208
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: willis this morning. Carew We fruit exports from New Zealand

209
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 2: reached an all time high three point one billion dollars

210
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: for the year in in August this year. That's up

211
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 2: five hundred and twenty one million dollars or twenty percent.

212
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 2: Gold care We fruit made the biggest contribution exports, valued

213
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 2: at two point four billion, a twenty four percent increase.

214
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 2: Evan Hayward is the Motsueka Kiwi fruit and apple grower

215
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 2: he's with me live this morning. Good day Evan, morning Ryan,

216
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 2: thanks for being with me. So what's going good for you?

217
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 7: Like you said, the gold key fruit is going well

218
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 7: on the back of a couple of good years now

219
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 7: and volumes and quality have been outstanding.

220
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 2: So we do in China is where we send our

221
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 2: gold buy and large. Isn't it.

222
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 7: All over the world?

223
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 2: Ryan?

224
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 7: By your China's probably the biggest market and also won

225
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 7: of the highest markets.

226
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 2: What's the deal with red? What are you doing there?

227
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, we've got three hectares of red in the ground.

228
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 7: We'll have our first commercial crop next year. So it's

229
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 7: early days, but the market is definitely keen on the

230
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 7: red flesh q through variety. So it's early days, but

231
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 7: demands there and we just need to learn how to

232
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 7: grow this properly. And yeah, I think there's a good,

233
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 7: good potential in future for a red flesh variety in

234
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 7: the market.

235
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 2: I haven't tried it. Does it taste any different? What

236
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 2: does it taste like?

237
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's got some some tropical flavors and it is

238
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 7: quite different from you know, the green and red, green

239
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 7: and gold that most people are used to.

240
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 2: Is that a higher value the red?

241
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 7: Yes? It is, but bear in mind the volumes are

242
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 7: very small, so there's probably some scarcity value built into

243
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 7: that price at the moment.

244
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 2: How hard is it to grow? I guess you're finding out.

245
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 7: Yes we are, but early indications that is a little

246
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 7: bit more difficult to grow in both the green and

247
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 7: the gold. This particular variety ruby read is a little

248
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 7: bit smaller and it can blemish quite quite easily from

249
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 7: one damage and one thing and another. So yeah, it's

250
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 7: got some agronomical issues there, agronomy issues there that Gruys

251
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 7: will need to learn and get better at.

252
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to trying it. Evan. Great to have

253
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 2: some good news from our heavy fruit industry. Really appreciate

Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio Power by Newstalk ZIBBI.

261
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 2: This is a travel advisory for the city of Wellington.

262
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 2: Do not travel to New Zealand's capital environment considered dangerous.

263
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 2: Basic necessities like flat whites and pints very difficult to find.

264
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 2: Government ordered crackdown on civil servants currently in action, a

265
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 2: warning other civil servants maybe hiding inside their homes and

266
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 2: not immediately visible on city streets. Risk of political turmoil

267
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 2: and unrest is extreme. Infrastructure in a perilous state. Access

268
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 2: to fresh water quite limited, burst water in sewage pipes

269
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 2: scattered across the city. Check for feces before you go

270
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 2: swimming in the harbour. Please waters freezing, to watch that

271
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 2: in case of an emergency. Car parks difficult to find.

272
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 2: Cycle ways are plenty, but treacherous weather and wind conditions

273
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: make use incredibly difficult. City in a state of utter

274
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 2: chaos with little to no control by Lord Mayor Tory Farno.

275
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 2: Specific populations asked to avoid sky Stadium include the All Blacks.

276
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 2: They've lost six tests in a row at the venue.

277
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 2: Answer further losses highly likely If all Black's unsure which

278
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 2: venue there's Spilleton refers to please look for the urine

279
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: yellow colored seating. They call it the cake tin. If

280
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 2: travel is absolutely essential, please exercise extreme caution. Take your

281
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 2: own water coffee alcohol, lunch, body armor, a pen and

282
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 2: paper and a calculator and chat GPT to help decode

283
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 2: the mayor's mixed messaging. Dress for disappointment, pack for evacuation.

284
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 2: And if somebody tries to sell you a cheap car,

285
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 2: run Cryan Bridge. I should point out that most of

286
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 2: my family lives in Wellington. It's not that red. Twenty

287
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 2: eight minutes after five lots more to come here on

288
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 2: early edition. Donald Tomato out of Australia, and we're going

289
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,359
Speaker 2: to speak to a criminal defense lawyer because the POLKINGHRN

290
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 2: case now goes to a seigner. What happens if a

291
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 2: coroner decides it wasn't suicide? We will ask that question.

292
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: Just before six o'clock this morning, loads of support for

293
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 2: Nichola Willis and telling the public servants to get into

294
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: work and get out of home. Good work, Nicola, not

295
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 2: before time, Ryan, the four day weekend needs to end.

296
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 2: They're on the public purse for goodness sakes. It's lots

297
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 2: of debate actually about whether parents, people who've got children

298
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 2: should be given more flexibility than those who don't. And

299
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 2: I just made the point, you know what about a

300
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: single person who's got a dog for example, should they

301
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 2: not be given flexibility? Ryan, I agree with you. I've

302
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: got no kids and a dog. I'm completely on board

303
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 2: with more flexibility for people of my milk. Another says

304
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: it's because it's simple, because children are more important to

305
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 2: society than animals, which you can't argue with, really can you.

306
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 2: It's not like the dogs are one day going to work,

307
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 2: pay taxes and fund our superannuation? Are they? Twenty nine

00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 11: There?

315
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 2: Are alone?

316
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 1: Ryan? Bridge? You for twenty twenty four on early edition

317
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture bits at a playing store.

318
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: News Talk sid.

319
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 2: BE, Good Morning New Zealand. It is twenty four minutes

320
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 2: away from Sex Year. On news Talk sid be still

321
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 2: the cam donnad Tomayo out of Australia. Are Australia correspondent

322
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 2: and I'll update you on the smart cars. Australia is

323
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 2: watching a potential ban from America on parts imported from China.

324
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 2: Why you should care, I'll tell you. Plus we're going

325
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: to speak to a criminal defense lawyer just before six.

326
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 2: This whole Polkinghorn case not guilty, Yes, now goes to

327
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 2: a coroner. If coroner decides not suicide, then what We'll

328
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 2: ask that question very quickly for you as well. The

329
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 2: guy accused of trying to hit Trump at the golf course,

330
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 2: he's left a note this was an assassination attempt on

331
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, but I failed you. It reads. I tried

332
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 2: my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster.

333
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 2: It's up to you now to finish the job. I

334
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 2: will offer one hundred and fifty thousand dollars to whomever

335
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 2: can complete the job here. He's obviously not in a

336
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 2: position to pay that as even from behind bars. Also,

337
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 2: this morning interesting out of Japan. So the Japanese fighter

338
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,959
Speaker 2: jets have fired warning flares at a Russian military reconnaissance plane.

339
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 2: It's violated its airspace. This happens from time to time.

340
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 2: The Russians will come in like a fly hanging around

341
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 2: a window and will just jump and buzz into the

342
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 2: airspace and buzz out again, and usually Japan does absolutely

343
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 2: nothing about it. It is significant that they have fired

344
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 2: flares in this instance. It's happened forty eight times before.

345
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 2: They have never taken that action. Of course Russia and

346
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 2: China cozing up in the region and just stretching their

347
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: legs over the Sea of Japan. Lots of detexts on Wellington.

348
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 2: It is twenty two to six rich and we're going

349
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 2: to our reporters around the country, Calum Proctors. First, you've

350
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 2: got the albatrosses. Albatross is coming to Dunedin.

351
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 12: Yet the first the Northern Royal albatross of the season

352
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 12: has returned Ryan and it always sparks much excitement here

353
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 12: around this time of the year. It's been spotted flying

354
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 12: around the Peninsular Headland, so that marks the start of

355
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 12: the albatross breeding season. So this particular bird hatched in

356
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 12: nineteen ninety four, it's currently thirty years old, and she

357
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 12: successfully raised many chicks in her lifetime and so she's back.

358
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 12: That means the traditional bell ringing in Doneda will take

359
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 12: place today. That's at one o'clock. The Royal Albatross Center says.

360
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 12: People from all over the world in fact join in

361
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 12: every year, chiming bells and waving flags.

362
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 2: It's cool, doesn't scare the birds away, obviously has the

363
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 2: weather for the bell ringing?

364
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 12: Callum not the greatest Shewers possibly heavy through the day.

365
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 12: We've got a strong wind watch with westerly gails. Thirteen

366
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 12: is the high today?

367
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 2: All right, thank you Claires and christ Church. Hey clear,

368
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,719
Speaker 2: you've got young gaming minds at the forefront of your

369
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 2: story this morning.

370
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 13: Yes, I know this seems on, but we start with

371
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 13: Auckland here where Auckland University of Technology researchers are looking

372
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 13: into this first pilot's study of the benefits and arms

373
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 13: of e sports in high school students. The video game

374
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 13: competitions have taken off globally. They're looking at christ Church

375
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,959
Speaker 13: students specifically for this, which is why I'm claiming it

376
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 13: for this morning's cross.

377
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 4: To you Ryan.

378
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 13: But Associate Professor Maria Bellringer says they want to find

379
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 13: out why people participate in esports, what benefits they might

380
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 13: be getting from them, and also, of course, whether it

381
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 13: is causing any harm.

382
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 14: She says one of.

383
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 13: The concerns is that esports could lead to gaming disorders

384
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 13: or gambling later in life.

385
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 2: Oh all right, how's your weather?

386
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 13: Early high cloud then mainly find northwesterlies turning southwest. High

387
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 13: of eighteen.

388
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 2: Thank you Max Tols and Wellington this morning. Max, how

389
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 2: are people reacting to the mayor sort of just you know,

390
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 2: being all over the place lately.

391
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, she sold the car to pay the bills. No

392
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 8: she didn't, Oh she did sort of. The airport shares

393
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,959
Speaker 8: sale is not going to pass, or wait it is.

394
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 8: We did a whiper around of the council yesterday, critic

395
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 8: mayoral rival Ray Jung calling Torri Fino's TV interview terrible

396
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 8: and what she's saying lately is doubtful. Nicolae Young was

397
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,239
Speaker 8: on the receiving end of ref raff criticism of her

398
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 8: and a few other critics on the council. She says

399
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 8: she might get the riff raff a phrase printed on

400
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 8: a T shirt as a badge of honor. Diane Calvert

401
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 8: says the mayor can't seem to get her story straight,

402
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 8: pure flip flopping, and there are clear alarm bells ringing

403
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 8: around her. Tim Brown, who's sided with Tory on selling

404
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 8: the airport shares, says the mayor has been confusing lately.

405
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 8: Other typical supporters on the council staying very quiet lately,

406
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 8: probably worth pointing out. Even the Spinoff, which has perhaps

407
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 8: been the Mayor's staunchest defender, publishing a critical column yesterday

408
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 8: strongly questioning her political acumen.

409
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 2: Wow, that is saying something, isn't it next? How's you

410
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 2: with it today? That's right?

411
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,719
Speaker 8: Mostly cloudy, some strong northwesterlyes eighteen the high central?

412
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 2: Nice one, thank you. I actually think we should kick

413
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 2: Wellington while they're down neither you go on, you know,

414
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 2: because while they're down on the ground, down and out,

415
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 2: take the capital off them. Why do they deserve it?

416
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 2: I mean they clearly can't run themselves, couldn't run a bark.

417
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 11: I should go down there and be mayor you'd be great.

418
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 2: I don't want to. There's a hellhole. Oh yeah, the

419
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 2: wind as well.

420
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 13: Yeah, kick them on they're down.

421
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 2: You can on the dow, move the capitol. Don't bring

422
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 2: it here because we can't even you know, we can't

423
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 2: even sort out a new mall by an airport.

424
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 11: That's we've got our own problems. Look at our pipes,

425
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 11: their pipes. Oh, don't get me started.

426
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 2: Hey what are we looking at today? Scooters?

427
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 11: How about that for Auckland Council. So hopefully, fingers crossed,

428
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 11: it's not going to end up like the last one.

429
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 11: So current provider Line QI owned Flamingo. They've secured the

430
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 11: contracts for Auckland. This is out of a pool of

431
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 11: seven applicants. So obviously after a former provider Beams contract

432
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 11: was terminated, terminated because of you know, all the allegations

433
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 11: that they deployed too many scooters, which they did, and

434
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 11: so move and Chetty, he is the council Manager of

435
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 11: Licensing and Environmental Health. He says, look, they've learnt from

436
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 11: the ordeal and they've got the data and the auditing systems.

437
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 11: They've been strengthened so this doesn't happen again. But I

438
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 11: just didn't realize either too, because when the news came

439
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 11: out yesterday that the council's not providing e bikes they've

440
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 11: dumped I didn't even realize they did the e bikes

441
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 11: but low demand obviously. Okay, well have you be just

442
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 11: sticking with the scoots?

443
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 2: That's all right? I mean people love the scooters, don't they. Yep, Hey,

444
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 2: unless you're walking on the footpath and then you don't

445
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 2: enjoy them. How's the weather today?

446
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 4: Now?

447
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 11: We putly cloudy, a few early morning showers, evening showers.

448
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 2: Eighteen is the high brilliant thank you, loads of feedback

449
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 2: on Wellington Ryan fifteen hundred dollars for two nights accommodation

450
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 2: this weekend Wellington Daylight, Robbery, Wearable Arts and Rugby will

451
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 2: think twice about going in the future. And another says

452
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 2: Ryan Wellington is dying. We had calls to be in

453
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 2: Wellington recently, had to park so far away from the

454
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 2: event venue. The road cones ripped up, the fenced off roads,

455
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 2: the broken buildings. But it was the stench, the squalor

456
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 2: and the mess, the buildings in disrepair, struggling to find

457
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 2: something open for dinner before the show. Wellington is in

458
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 2: demise akin to San Francisco, says suit. All right, you've

459
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 2: been warned.

00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 2: We'll be talking Pulkinghorn and what next. Right now, though,

465
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 2: Donna's with us. Donna, Australia's two big supermarkets are being

00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 2: sued by the competition watchdog There what for.

467

Speaker 5: Yes, legal action has been taken against two major supermarkets,

468
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 5: Woolies and cold It's alleged there was some illusory discounting

469
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 5: on some common products, actually hundreds of them in fact,

470
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 5: So it's the allegation is the supermarkets briefly increased prices

471
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 5: on hundreds of products before placing them on discount or

472
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 5: on promotion. So it's been alleged to the shoppers have

473
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 5: been misled on items, you know, from chucky biscuits to

474
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 5: instant coffee, yogurt right through to tissues and throat lozenges

475
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 5: and pet food and the list goes on. So the

476
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 5: Australian Competition and Consumer Commission says the regulator will seek

477
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 5: significant penalties. It's taken these supermarkets to the Federal Court

478
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 5: in separate cases. I might add, now the major retailer

479
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 5: is allegedly profited from the sale of tens of millions

480
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 5: of these products that, as I mentioned, were discounted but

481
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 5: allegedly sold under consumer law breaches. And it looks like

482
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 5: that the atriple C will also seek to impose community

483
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 5: service orders, hopefully on woollies and coals. And what that

484
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,239
Speaker 5: means is that these supermarkets will have to fund a

485
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 5: registered charity to deliver meals to Australians in need efforts

486
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 5: if the Atribra C is successful in its legal action.

487
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 2: Tell us about these Indigenous Northern Territory police officers. They've

488
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 2: lodged a complaint about racial discrimination.

489
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 5: Yes, I've gone straight to the Human Rights Commission, and

490
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 5: the complaint has been lodged against the Northern Territory government

491
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 5: and the Police Commissioner on behalf of these three serving

492
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 5: Aboriginal police. Now, they launched the complaint alleging racial discrimination

493
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 5: over twenty years, alligation of racial qualification and derision and

494
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 5: also an unequal system of pay and promotion. So the

495
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 5: lawyer actually says that the Aboriginal community police officers have

496
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 5: been subject to this racism since their position was actually created,

497
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 5: and it's not a historical complaint by any means, but

498
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 5: still very much of to day. And the commissioner says

499
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 5: he can't comment on specifics of the case, but the

500
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 5: fourth is invested in cultural reforms, so let's see what

501
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 5: happens there, all right.

502
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 2: Donna, thanks very much for that. Donn and de Mayo

503
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 2: are Australia correspondent. Twelve minutes away from Sex. Ryan Bridge

504
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 2: not guilty. Pulkinghorn walked free from court yesterday quittitive murdering

505
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 2: his wife Pauline Hannah. Finally, a verdict. Roderick Mulgan is

506
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 2: a criminal defense lawyer. He's with US Live this morning. Roderick,

507
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 2: good morning, Good morning. Were you surprised at that verdict?

508
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 6: Not?

509
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 2: Why not?

510
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 9: I think many people saw that coming. The thing about

511
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 9: criminal justice, as we all know, is doubt. So if

512
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 9: the doubt, you've going to have an acquittal. And even

513
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 9: though many people were suspicious, did he really do it?

514
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 9: It's just not enough.

515
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 4: It is a high bar.

516
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 9: It is difficult to convict people on circumstantial evidence. And

517
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 9: as judges are saying the juries all the time, even

518
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 9: if you think it's likely somebody did that, that's not enough.

519
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 9: You've got to be sure, and you just can't be

520
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 9: sure of that evidence.

521
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 2: Most of the jury clearly didn't think it was suicide,

522
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 2: because they said as much in their question to the judge.

523
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 2: What happens now with the coroner? What if the coroner

524
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 2: rules that it's not suicide.

525
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 9: The coroner has a different standard of evidence. The coroner's

526
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 9: inquiry is balance of probabilities, what's more likely, So it's

527
00:28:52,560 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 9: not a criminal inquiry, so the coroner is free come

528
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 9: to a different conclusion if they think the evidence merits it.

529
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 9: So you can have the jury saying, will there's some

530
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 9: doubt about whether it was murder, and you have the

531
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 9: corner saying it's likely to be murdered. And those two

532
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 9: things can sit side by sides because they're answering the

533
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 9: question to two different levels.

534
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 2: What would require? What would be required for a retrial?

535
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 2: More evidence, new evidence.

536
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 9: Were a trial as big and as complex and as

537
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 9: thorough as this, a new trial could only happen if

538
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 9: there was very, very substantial new evidence, and it just

539
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 9: doesn't exist because everything here is circumstantial.

540
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 2: Interesting, there was never.

541
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 9: An eyewitness, there was never a photograph, there was never

542
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 9: a fingerprint. So it's not going to.

543
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 2: Happen to your mind, polking Horn is a free man

544
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 2: for good. Yes, thanks so much for your time. Roderick

545
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 2: Mulgan just gone nine minutes away from six y're on

546
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 2: News Talk CB Ryan Bridge. Now, do you have a

547
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 2: smart car? I was trying to work out this morning

548
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 2: what exactly constitutes a smart car. It's a car that's

549
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 2: Scott integrates with his smartphone, remote control, live traffic updates.

550
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 2: It sounds like most new cars. So Australia is monitoring.

551
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 2: Apparently today the White House is potentially going to ban

552
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 2: Chinese car software over security concerns. I worried about tracking

553
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 2: American drivers where are they going and potentially manipulating their

554
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 2: vehicles through the car's communication systems. Can you imagine driving

555
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 2: down the motorway and all of a sudden it's dodge

556
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 2: ems there's some guys sitting in Beijing remote controlling your car. Anyway,

557
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 2: That's apparently what they're worried about. So that's one to

558
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 2: watch for today. We imported about ten thousand evs from

559
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 2: China in twenty twenty three, so there might be a

560
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 2: few of them out there. It is eight minutes away

561
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 2: from six News Talk sedb, well, how are you go

562
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 2: as far.

563
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth

564
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New

565
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: Zealand's furniture beds and a flying store.

566
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 2: News Talk said, be six minutes away from six News Talks,

567
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 2: said be So the Australians are watching the Americans who

568
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 2: are watching the Chinese. This is on smart cars, the

569
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 2: Chinese car software inside the vehicles. The Americans are worried

570
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 2: that they might use it one day to control the

571
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 2: cars as you're driving along. There might be someone in

572
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 2: Beijing controlling your car or to track where you are driving.

573
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 2: This is US citizens and potentially government employees, SOID security

574
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 2: concerns there. Mike is here in the studio. He's with you.

575
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 2: Next good morning, Good morning.

576
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 14: You can already do that, you realize. So my car

577
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 14: has gotten the count and so you can hack it,

578
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 14: well someone could, but you can tap into your account

579
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 14: and you get a whole lot of stuff downloaded into

580
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 14: your car. So do you have a car? So every

581
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 14: now and again you'll get an update on your car

582
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 14: and your cargo. Your car is ready for an update.

583
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 14: Do you want to update? And you hit boom and

584
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 14: then it downloads a whole bunch of whatever it is.

585
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 14: So if the Chinese implanted this and this where it

586
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 14: all comes from, the American's paranoid of course, because they'll

587
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 14: GPSU and all that sort of stuff.

588
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 2: Yea.

589
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 14: A guy called fairly runs Forward. He was in China

590
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 14: the other day and they got a couple of cars

591
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 14: shipped to America and they had them stripped down to

592
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 14: see how they build it. And they don't know how

593
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 14: they can build a car to compete with the Chinese,

594
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 14: right because of the scale.

595
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 2: I guess the question because it has to be it's

596
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 2: Chinese manufacturing that you would be worried about, right, because

597
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 2: then they can send the information straight back. But my

598
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 2: question to you is, because you're a car expert, is

599
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 2: is this actually about the technology or is this just

600
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 2: about America? It's anti China because it's manufacturing.

601
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 14: There's potentially, I mean, if you don't think Taresler potentially

602
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 14: has the same ability with the downloadability of all the stuff.

603
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 2: That they work. But they're not Chinese, so you're not worried.

604
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 14: But that's why it's That's why, that's why it's a problem. See,

605
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 14: I mean we're not I mean you look at all

606
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 14: the cars coming to this country that the Chinese v

607
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 14: we worried. We wouldn't have the slightest idea, but maybe

608
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 14: we should be, but maybe we should exactly anyway.

609
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 2: Lands to the slaughter down here.

610
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 14: Tuesday is Prime Minister day, so we'll cover off the

611
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 14: fairies and the work from home.

612
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 2: And I hope he's coming into the studio.

613
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 14: He's got Parliament.

614
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 2: It seems like he's working working from Earlington. All right,

615
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 2: Mike is with you next. Thank you so much for
