We'll ask that question this morning. 10 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 2: Plus the thirty six thousand nurses going on strike to 11 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 2: make a point about safety. Slightly ironic, the French government 12 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 2: basically falling apart of the seams already at risk of 13 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 2: a cavan and Leslie Yeoman is in Australia for us 14 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 2: this morning. 15 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 3: The agenda. 16 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 2: It's Tuesday to third of December. Nobody is above the 17 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 2: law and this daddy's running the country. Yes, Hunter Biden 18 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 2: was facing gun and tax charges. No longer. 19 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 4: There may be more selective prosecutions, and there was a 20 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 4: feeling among a number of Biden allies that Hunter Biden 21 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 4: would be an easy target for a Trump Justice department 22 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 4: looking to make a point so that is to protect 23 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 4: his son. 24 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 2: The decision that's been made here so apparently because remember 25 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 2: during the election, Biden said many times, I will not 26 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 2: pardon my son, I will not parton my son, and 27 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 2: then he has pardoned his son. He says, I took 28 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 2: the weekend this Thanksgiving weekend, took the Thanksgiving weekend with 29 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 2: my family, wrestled with the decision and decided. 30 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 5: To do it. 31 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 2: So there you go. It's all kicking off in France. 32 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 2: The new government is at risk of caving. And this 33 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 2: is just three months after they formed a member That 34 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 2: took a while too, and they had the Olympics during 35 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 2: that period. It's all over a budget bill using special 36 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 2: powers to bypass a vote by MPs. The far right, 37 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 2: it's not happy. La penn Is throwing her weight around 38 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 2: the far left. You know that little gaggle of far 39 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 2: lefties that came together during the election. Darn happy either. 40 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 2: So there is the possibility of a confidence vote, which 41 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 2: could take place as early as Thursday. New Zealand time, 42 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 2: the minority government unlikely to survive it. Georgia, we've been 43 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 2: following this on The capital sent a fourth night of 44 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 2: protests against the government's decision to pause negotiations on joining 45 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 2: the EU. 46 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 6: Every single day there's more and more people coming and 47 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 6: it gives me pup that this government will finally go away. 48 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 2: Plastic talks for a global treaty on tackling plastic pollution 49 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 2: have collapsed more than two years after negotiations started. A 50 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 2: group of around one hundred countries were calling for all 51 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 2: plastic production to be phased out, but face opposition from guests, 52 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 2: whom oil producing countries. Plastic productions billed be responsible for 53 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 2: around five percent of global emission. So there you go, 54 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 2: two years of talking and no where they got. 55 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 3: Ryan Bridge you for twenty twenty four on early edition 56 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 3: with Smith City, New Zealand's Foot your Beds and a 57 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 3: Playing Store, News Talk said, be yeah, we're going to. 58 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 2: Talk to Western Curtain just before six this morning. He's 59 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 2: there to pay who district mayor. Of course, two hundred 60 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 2: and thirty jobs went there at the Winstone pulp mill closures. 61 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 2: So if you live in a place like that and 62 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 2: there are no jobs for you around, do you think 63 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 2: that you should have to move to get a job. 64 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 2: Should you be forced to move to get a job, 65 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 2: should you get sanctions if you don't move to get 66 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,959 Speaker 2: a job text me nineteen nine two. I'd love to 67 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 2: know what you think. I mean, it's brutal, but you 68 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 2: can't have if there is no industry, if there is 69 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 2: no employment in a small provincial part of New Zealand anymore, 70 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 2: if that industry has dried up or fallen over or whatever, 71 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 2: you can't just forever hand out welfare to that place, 72 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 2: can you? Nineteen nine two. We'd love to know what 73 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 2: your thoughts are on that. And also the pole, if 74 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 2: you've seen this pole. I'll running through the numbers just 75 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 2: before we come back, sorry, just after we get back 76 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 2: from break, because I do I find them a little 77 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 2: bit surprising. But the most important number, I'll tell you 78 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 2: right now, the most important number when it comes to 79 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 2: being elected or re elected as a government is the 80 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: right track wrong track. This is a post Freshwater strategy 81 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 2: poll and the people who think we're in the right 82 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 2: direction going in the right track thirty five percent, the 83 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 2: wrong direction forty eight percent, So yeah, there are more 84 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 2: people who think we're going in the wrong direction. However, 85 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 2: that number was sixty four percent back in August twenty 86 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 2: twenty three, so the fact that it's come down is 87 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 2: good news for the government. However, there are bad numbers 88 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 2: in this poll, which we'll talk about in a second. 89 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 2: Just gone ten after five News Talk set b Brian Bread. 90 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 2: They did have a bit of a win yesterday in 91 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 2: terms of the Supreme Court decision on the foreshore and 92 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 2: sea bed. We'll get to Chrispin Layson on that next. 93 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 2: Good Morning. If you're just joining us, it is Tuesday, 94 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 2: it is eleven after five. Will you I will be 95 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 2: love as nasty long a. 96 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 3: The first word on the News of the Day early 97 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 3: edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture 98 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:14,559 Speaker 3: Beds and a playing store. 99 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 2: News Talks. The thirteen after five on News Talks there 100 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 2: b Yes. The pole result from this post Freshwater Strategy 101 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 2: poll shows National has slipped four points since the October 102 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three election. Labour is up, Hepkins is up 103 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 2: and actually has pulled ahead of Luxeon as preferred prime minister. 104 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 2: They say this means the twenty twenty six race is 105 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 2: very much alive. We're a long way before were the 106 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 2: twenty twenty sixth election, aren't We just make that point? 107 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 2: But what is it? What do people just hate Christopher 108 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 2: Luxen that much that they are going to get rid 109 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 2: of them after one term or is it probably more 110 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 2: likely In the numbers we're seeing coming through, not just 111 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 2: the benefit numbers yesterday, but the November Credit indicator reported out, 112 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 2: which I've just gott in my hand here, it is 113 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 2: still a very tough time out there. Over consumer areas 114 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 2: up three point one percent, mortgage areas up ten percent, 115 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 2: business credit defaults across the board up sixteen percent on 116 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 2: average year on year, the construction industry up thirty eight percent, 117 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 2: transport thirty five percent, company liquidations across the country up 118 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 2: twenty seven percent. So there's a whole bunch of bad 119 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 2: numbers for you, which might explain the particularly bad number 120 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 2: you see in the political poll fourteen after five Bryan 121 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 2: Bridge torture and Seabed update on the court proceedings yesterday. 122 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,799 Speaker 2: So this is basically the government being allowed to appeal 123 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 2: a decision that was made last year by an appeals court. 124 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 2: It's the Supreme Court that's handed out this somewhat of 125 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 2: a win for the government. You'd have to say it's 126 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 2: all about customary marine title, customary rights to the foreshore 127 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 2: and seabed and Chris fin Leasons, the former treaty negotiations 128 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 2: Minister and Attorney General is with us this morning. Good morning, 129 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 2: Good morning to you. How significant is this? 130 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 7: I think it's a very significant decision. The Supreme Court 131 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 7: has considered the background to the Marine and Coastal at 132 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 7: two thousand and eleven and has had a good hard 133 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 7: look at section sixty eight, which deals with customary marine title, 134 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 7: and has as it were, repaired the problems caused by 135 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 7: the Court of appealed judgment. So it's a very significant judgment. 136 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 2: So we still have to wait for the government to 137 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 2: appeal the decision. Might have been given the right to 138 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 2: appeal the decision, but they haven't said that they will 139 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 2: do that yet. Does this nullify the need for the 140 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 2: government's amendment to the bill. 141 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 7: I think that's a very good question. Legislation was introduced. 142 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 7: It may have been better to have waited until the 143 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 7: Supreme Court delivered its decision before deciding whether to proceed 144 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 7: was legislation. But I've given a lot of thought to 145 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 7: your questions since I read the judgment yesterday afternoon, and 146 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 7: that I can't see the needs for legislation now, so. 147 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 2: You would stop it because it's from memory past its 148 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 2: first reading. I think it's submissions have been called from 149 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 2: the Select Committee. You just get rid of the bell, 150 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 2: I mean, because they can appeal it, but then it 151 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 2: could still bounce back again. 152 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 7: Right, Well, they have appealed it and the Attorney General 153 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 7: was successful in the Supreme Court. But questions given that success, 154 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 7: given the decision of the Supreme Court, is legislation clarifying 155 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 7: the Court of appealed decision now necessary? And I don't 156 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 7: think it is right. I think one can proceed on 157 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 7: the basis of the Supreme Court decision without the need 158 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 7: for legislation. 159 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 2: I guess they don't call it the Supreme Court for nothing, 160 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 2: do they. Chrispin Lason, thank you very much for your 161 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 2: time the Attorney General and form a treaty negotiations Minister 162 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 2: seventeen after five News Talks b get. 163 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 3: Ahead of the headlines, Ryan Bridge, you for twenty twenty 164 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 3: four on early edition with Smiths City, New Zealand's furniture 165 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 3: beds and a play at store. 166 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 2: News Talks they'd be three quick techs at nineteen after five.

Ryan, This is on the polls. People 174 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 2: have short memories after the incompetent labor government. The tough 175 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 2: love is unpopular, but totally necessary if we have any 176 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 2: hope of lifting the economy for the benefit of all. 177 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 2: And the third text, Ryan, are those pilot whales like 178 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 2: parrots or are they like us humans putting their fairies 179 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 2: on autopilot and heading for the beach twenty after five, 180 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,319 Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge, Only they follow the one sick like one 181 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 2: of them will be sick and is piloting the rest 182 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 2: of these so called pilots. And if that one is 183 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 2: second disorientated and gets onto the beach, then they all follow. 184 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 2: It's quite sad, it really when you think about it. Anyway, 185 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 2: Speaking of being sick, don't go to the hospital today. 186 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,839 Speaker 2: Thirty six thousand nurses on strike. Paul Goalz is the 187 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 2: New Zealand Nurses' organization chief executive. He's with us this morning. Paul, 188 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 2: good morning, good morning. Now, no one is going to 189 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 2: die because of the strike, are they? You've got life 190 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 2: preserving services ready to go. 191 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, each hospital is required to ensure there's a minimum 192 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 5: number of staff to ensure patient care continues. 193 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 2: It's all over ironically actually safe staffing levels. And you 194 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 2: think the changes that have been made will mean that 195 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 2: there'll be fewer nurses on a shift. Do you know 196 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 2: how many fewer might it might mean? 197 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 5: No, No, we don't because it varies. The very nature 198 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 5: that staffing system that they want to pause means that 199 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 5: there's great variance across the different wards, et cetera, according 200 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 5: to just how many patients have gotten and just how 201 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 5: sick or injured those particular patients are. So there's great variants. 202 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 5: And we have actually tried to ascertain through official and 203 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 5: requests from the fatal or exactly what that number looks like. 204 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 5: We can't get that data. 205 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 2: They won't give you the data on how many nurses 206 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 2: are needed per patient to be safe. 207 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 5: We'll put it another way, how many short they are 208 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 5: on each shift? 209 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 2: Right? Well, that seems a bit MINGI of them. 210 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 5: I would have thought, yeah, yeah, if you try to 211 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 5: work together with an employer, that's pretty critical information and 212 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 5: it's been being withheld and we've really asking for that 213 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 5: through the bargaining as well through the good faith provisions 214 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 5: and the bargaining. But we would like to work together 215 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 5: on this rather than just have them make anylateral decisions. 216 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 2: If your goal is highlight to the public how unsafe 217 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 2: staffing is is taking you know, thirty six thousand nurses 218 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 2: off for an eight hour shift way to make the point. 219 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 5: Well, this is what the nurses themselves asked for. You know, 220 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 5: we've been bargaining for a number of months. They're exact 221 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 5: created by how this process sort of drags on and 222 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 5: it happens every time we do this, and then finally 223 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 5: to fut the war came up with the sort of 224 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 5: these are our two key positions. One is are safe 225 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 5: staff and pausing that et cetera. That alarms nurses because 226 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,959 Speaker 5: already they are understaffed and pausing it exacerbates that problem. 227 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 5: And also there's issues around the wage increase as well. 228 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 2: All right, Paul, thank you very much your time. Appreciate it. 229 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 2: It's Paul Galter. He's the New Zealand Nurses Organization chief executive. 230 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 2: That strike between eleven am and seven pm today and 231 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 2: people saying don't worry, you know, no one will die, Well, 232 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 2: I mean you can't say that, can you. You don't know 233 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 2: that for sure, but they're basically just saying you will 234 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 2: still be able to access healthcare should you need it, 235 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 2: especially if you are in a critical condition and the 236 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 2: need of that. By the way, their pay increase that 237 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 2: they were looking at that he was talking about it, 238 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 2: then half a percent they've been offered for April twenty 239 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 2: twenty five year, and then one percent the year after that. 240 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 2: They say it's not inflation, so it's essentially a pay cut. 241 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 2: Twenty three after five News Talks EB the. 242 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 3: Early edition for All the Show podcast on Ihart Radio 243 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 3: Power by News Talks IV. 244 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 2: It is twenty five minutes after five year on News Talks. 245 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 2: He be great to have your company this morning. This 246 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 2: is the American well would be American presidents now outgoing 247 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 2: and the one elect. 248 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 3: No one will be above the law, the American principle 249 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 3: that no one is above the law. 250 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 2: Why do Americans keep saying nobody is above the law 251 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 2: and then repeatedly showing us that some blatantly are. Biden 252 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 2: tweeted this during the campaign, nobody is above the law. 253 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 2: He said it one hundred times. He was talking about 254 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 2: charges against Trump, of course, but on principle, he said 255 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 2: the same applies to him and his family, including his 256 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 2: son Hunter. Then here we are. He's lost the election 257 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 2: and quicker than you can say, get out of jail free, 258 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 2: he has flip flopped on that. Convictions wiped clean. Hunter 259 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 2: now won't face any jail time or have a criminal 260 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 2: record for two separate core cases, some of them involving 261 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 2: gun charges. By the way, their constitution allows this, it 262 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,959 Speaker 2: allows presidents to pardon pretty much anyone for federal crimes 263 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 2: except themselves for impeachment. Trubbed it on the way out 264 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 2: too when he was in last time Obama both Bush's 265 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 2: FDR apparently hit the record with more than two thousand 266 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 2: pardons when he left office. At the same time that 267 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 2: Biden proves his son is in fact above the law. 268 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 2: You've got the Department of Justice dropping cases against Trump, left, 269 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 2: right and center. Why while they have a policy not 270 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 2: going after sitting presidents. So we have a Department of 271 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 2: Justice policy, we have that pesky written constitution to blame. 272 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 2: And that's fine. It's their country, it's not mine. But 273 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 2: aren't you kind of glad that we don't mix politics 274 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 2: with justice here like they do in the States. When 275 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 2: we say nobody's above them law. We pretty much mean it, 276 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 2: don't we. I know some will argue that we apply 277 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 2: the law unevenly, and there are cases to be made 278 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 2: for that, but on political grounds, Nah, we don't really 279 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 2: do that. This is the Department going after person a 280 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 2: because they vote for labor or they vote for ACT 281 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 2: or whatever. It just doesn't work like that here. The 282 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 2: Americans do many things well, but separation of powers, particularly 283 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 2: when it comes to these types of issues, doesn't appear 284 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 2: to be one of them. Bryan Bridge twenty seven minutes 285 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 2: after five. I just want to run you through because 286 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 2: we are. Mike's going to speak to MPI later this 287 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 2: morning about this poultry situation, but I just want to 288 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 2: run you through what the risks are here. So exports 289 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 2: are worth one hundred and ninety million dollars and they 290 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 2: are currently on hold. They are halted. This is because 291 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 2: of the discovery of and their biosecurity measures in place 292 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 2: at an egg farm in Otago. They go have to 293 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 2: kill forty thousand chickens there on this remote farm. It 294 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 2: is not H five N one, which is the really 295 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 2: bad one everyone talks about. It's been detected in only 296 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 2: one of four of the barns on this farm, which 297 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 2: is apparently a good thing because it means that there 298 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 2: are some protocols in place there that's stopping it spread. 299 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 2: And the big number here is twenty one. Twenty one 300 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 2: days is the incubation period, and then we will reassess. 301 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 2: So for at least the next twenty one days, our 302 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 2: annual one hundred and ninety million dollars worth of exports 303 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 2: will be affected, and then we will reassess and decide 304 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 2: what needs to be done next. That's according to our MPI. 305 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 2: They'll be on the show with Mike after six thirty 306 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 2: this morning. I believe twenty eight minutes after five on 307 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 2: News Talks, he'd be still to come. We're going to 308 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 2: talk jobs in the provinces just before six o'clock. And 309 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 2: also this beer in Japan that basically went to town 310 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 2: in a supermarket for three days, bit someone's arm off 311 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 2: and then just went loose for three days. Anyway, they've 312 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 2: finally killed it. I'll tell you how. 313 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,439 Speaker 3: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition with 314 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 3: Ryan Bridge and Smith City New Zealand's Furniture Beds and 315 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 3: a Playing Store, Youth Talk z B. 316 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 2: Good Morning New Zealand twenty four away from six. Welcome 317 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 2: to early edition. I'm Ryan Bridge. Great to have you 318 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 2: company this morning. See this is a problem with written constitutions. 319 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 2: Two little things happening this morning. One, the government's about 320 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 2: to fall over in France. Literally they're caving in after 321 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 2: being in power for three months, and it took them 322 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 2: two months to pick a primeanent. Anyway, it's a long story, 323 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 2: but it's a very messy one. And they have used 324 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 2: a particular part This is the prime minister. They used 325 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 2: a particular part of their constitution to push through his 326 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 2: budget without the MP's having to vote on it. So 327 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 2: this is He's used Article forty nine points three of 328 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 2: the French Constitution, which allows the text of a bill 329 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 2: to be passed without a vote, to push through his 330 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five This is Barnier the Prime Minister, to 331 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,439 Speaker 2: push through his twenty twenty five budget. Now, the lefty group, 332 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 2: the little gaggle of lefties of far lefties, aren't happy 333 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 2: that he was put in power by by the President 334 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 2: Emmanuel Macron in the first base.

They still have to 482 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 11: be accompanied by a man. Now, the Tasmania, the women 483 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 11: folk are delicate down there. The Tasmania Club was established 484 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 11: one hundred and sixty three years ago and they it 485 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,400 Speaker 11: was established by seventy gentlemen who just wanted somewhere where 486 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 11: they could go and to the fat, so to speak, 487 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,679 Speaker 11: without the ladies around them.

Some of those more progressive members decided that 499 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 11: that was just getting a bit too ridiculous, so they 500 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 11: pushed to have the vote implemented and the new rules 501 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,400 Speaker 11: put in. So yes, women are now allowed into the bar. 502 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 11: They have to be accompanied by a man though still 503 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 11: and yes, we'll see, well just baby steps in tazzy 504 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 11: baby steps. 505 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 2: Wait till they get a trans rights activist in there. 506 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:52,919 Speaker 2: They'll be just said that they won't know what to 507 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 2: do with themselves. 508 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 11: Lose.

Lizzlie Evans, who's our Australia 510 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 2: suponded with us this morning eleven away from six bread Rich. 511 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 2: So we've got the job seeker numbers were up yesterday, 512 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 2: not good for the government's target, up eight thousand people 513 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 2: on the job seeker over the last quarter a total 514 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 2: now two hundred thousand. The target for the government, remember, 515 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 2: is fifty thousand by twenty thirty. But a question arose 516 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 2: at Postcab yesterday should you be forced to move for 517 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 2: a job and should you be punished if you don't 518 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 2: move for that job? The Minister Louise ups and insisting 519 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 2: that the sanctions are just for those who are looking 520 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 2: for work and are not complying with those requirements. 521 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 11: They're not being punished if they can't find a job. 522 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 6: It's about the common sense steps that they need to 523 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 6: take and look for some people. 524 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 8: They'll have a house, they'll have kids. 525 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 11: In school, they'll bet a whole bunch of. 526 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 10: Life circumstances they have to deal with. ANYMSD take that 527 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 10: into consideration. 528 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 2: They're to a pay who district's being hammered by job 529 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 2: cuts recently, Western Curtains of the Marry's with us this morning. 530 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 2: Good morning Western, Yes, good morning Ryan, Good to have 531 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 2: you on the show. Tell me how are you guys 532 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 2: getting on? You know there were two hundred and thirty 533 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 2: job cuts from Winstone. Pope are where is everyone? 534 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 7: Well, I'm moving around, Ryan, that's obviously you've got only 535 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 7: a limited number of opportunities in our district. We do 536 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 7: have one or two businesses in the seasonal basis that 537 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 7: take people, and we know traditionally have a high unemployment 538 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 7: rate in our area anyway, But to have two thirty jobs, 539 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 7: you know, taken away from us is a huge impact 540 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 7: in the economy. And we are losing these people primarily overseas. 541 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 7: Some of those go overseas with their skill sets, but 542 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 7: the mill impact is huge to us. But we're doing 543 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 7: our best as a council and as a community to 544 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 7: you know, keep those people in our towns. And there's 545 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 7: a huge impact to us. You know, the families that 546 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 7: have to move away. 547 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 2: Is this to me, No, it's massive. Is anyone being 548 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 2: forced to move or is MSD saying we will pay 549 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 2: you the job seeking in effit so long as you 550 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 2: peep up with your requirements until you find a job 551 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 2: in the district. 552 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 7: Well, a're simply not there. Ryan The jobs that these 553 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 7: people are accustomed to just simply not there. So you 554 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 7: can't just force people into other work that not skill 555 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 7: haven't got the skill sets. A lot of the people 556 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 7: that you know, the government is trying to focus on, 557 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 7: as I understand, the people that hadn't had jobs for 558 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 7: some time, so those jobs seekers don't have licenses, and 559 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 7: it's just unfortunate that, you know, we do see cuts 560 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 7: in the areas like licensing for example. We understand next 561 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 7: year the people that deliver on licensing for example, I'm 562 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 7: going to lose their funding for people that vulnerable people 563 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 7: that need a license, they sometimes can't afford to, you know, 564 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 7: come in there and go through the process for a 565 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 7: car license. But that funding is cutting, has been cut. 566 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 7: So it's unfortunate that on one hand, you know, we're 567 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 7: trying to get people into work, and then the other 568 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 7: is that we hear that over funding going to be cut, 569 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 7: so we're trying to deal with that with EMST to 570 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 7: try and get that restated. 571 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:07,719 Speaker 5: That's problem, I think. 572 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that the hard Leg and a whole 573 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 2: bunch of others did great work with those with licensing. 574 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 2: Western Thank you very much for that. Sounds like there's 575 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 2: not much of an issue, more of a storm and 576 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 2: teacup when it comes to claims that MSD would force 577 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 2: you to move and get out of town. Basically, if 578 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 2: you wanted to get yourself a benefit, it is eight 579 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 2: minutes away from six Newstalk said B. 580 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 3: News and Views you trust to start your day's early 581 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 3: edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture 582 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 3: Beds and a Flying Store. 583 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 2: News Talk said B.
