Speaker 1: The agenda.

21
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: It is Wednesday, the sixteenth of February. UK Prime Minister

22
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,639
Speaker 2: t Kiir Stamer has announced the UK will increase defense

23
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 2: spending to two point five percent of GDP by twenty

24
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 2: twenty seven. Currently, their defense spending is two point three

25
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: percent of GDP. This announcement comes ahead of his visit

26
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: to Washington. He's going there on Thursday to meet with

27
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 2: President Donald Trump.

28
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 3: I can announce this government will begin the biggest sustained

29
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 3: increase in defense spending since the.

30
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,199
Speaker 4: End of the Cold War.

31
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 3: And let me spell that out in mister speaker. That

32
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 3: means spending thirteen point four billion pounds more on defense

33
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 3: every year from twenty twenty seven.

34
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 2: More on that throughout the program. Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel

35
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: Mcron has already met with President Donald Trump, and after

36
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: his meeting, Macron suggested a truce in Ukraine might only

37
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: be a few weeks away.

38
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 5: We want this and I think the initiative of President

39
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 5: Trump is a very positive one. Be careful because we

40
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 5: need something substantial Foy Crane, but for the security of

41
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 5: Europe and France. And second, let's work together on the

42
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 5: future to preserve security guarantees, meaning to be sure that

43
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 5: this piece will be respected by Rissa.

44
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 2: And Emmanuel Macron also touched Donald Trump on the arm,

45
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: but he did not resign like Andrew Bailey. And finally,

46
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 2: the story there's been making talkback all night long. Qatar

47
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: Airways has apologized to an Australian couple after Cavin Cruz

48
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: sat a recently deceased passenger next to them while on

49
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: a long haul flight to Doha. What a nightmare. Mitchell

50
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: Ring and Jennifer Collins were flying from Melbourne to Rome

51
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 2: when a fellow traveler passed away mid flight. So the

52
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: Cavin crew initially wanted to move the passenger's body into

53
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: business class. They would have loved that, but struggled to

54
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 2: transport the woman up the aisle and therefore they put

55
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 2: the dead woman next to the Aussie seats despite there

56
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 2: being free seats all around them.

57
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 6: And there was another situation at the end when we land,

58
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 6: they told us in our area to stay in our seats,

59
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 6: and then the ambulance officers and the police came in,

60
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 6: and then the ambulance officers started pulling the blankets off

61
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 6: the lady beside, and I was there and I got

62
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 6: to see her face. Yeah, it wasn't nice.

63
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 2: Oh oh oh oh. It is nine after five.

64
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 5: News and Views.

65
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: You Trust to start your day. It's early edition with

66
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens and one roof Make your Property Search Simple.

67
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 4: You talk said, be so all.

68
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: Of a sudden, the whole world is talking about defense budgets,

69
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: even us here. We've heard that the forthcoming budget will

70
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: start an increase in defense spending that will mean will

71
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: hit two percent of GDP in fifteen years time. We're

72
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: going to double the budget. It is low and it

73
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: is slow because that's all we can afford. And even then,

74
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if it's that affordable in the first place,

75
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: but you know, you've got to start somewhere. Meanwhile, the

76
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 2: big story around the world is that the UK is

77
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: also ramping up the defense. You've already heard that. UKPM

78
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 2: Kiir Starmer has just announced a far more ambitious target.

79
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 2: His defense spending will rise to two point five percent

80
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 2: of GDP from twenty twenty seven, that's just two years away.

81
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: He told the country that you must change your national

82
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: security posture. It will be the biggest sustained increase in

83
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: defense spending since the end of the Cold War, and

84
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: will involve spending an extra thirteen point four billion pounds

85
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: on defense every year from twenty twenty seven, and he

86
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: has a clear ambition to get it to three percent

87
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 2: in the next term and to find all the money

88
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 2: he will slash AID projects, which is causing coniptions amongst

89
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,799
Speaker 2: AID agencies. But what's the point exporting money to struggling

90
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: nations when you can't afford to defend your own borders?

91
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 2: And this is a sign of how long so many

92
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: countries in the West have allowed national interests to slide

93
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: in the mistaken belief that the world is still as

94
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 2: safe as it was at the end of say, the

95
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 2: fall of.

96
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:41,679
Speaker 7: The Bourbin Wall.

97
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 2: And the thing about our competitors and the bad actors

98
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: in this world is that they've never stopped investing in

99
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 2: their security. And so this is an admission that we

100
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 2: let the game get away on USUS big drama yesterday

101
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: between New Zealand Rugby and Sky Sport. So then Goo

102
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: to over all Blacks broadcasting rights between twenty six and

103
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 2: twenty thirty. It's going to go on, or has been

104
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 2: going on for a couple of months, but it's currently

105
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: on a bit of a pause. So Sky reduced its

106
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,239
Speaker 2: offer to eighty five million dollars for the four years because,

107
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 2: as they argue, there is no competition for the New

108
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: Zealand rights ever since Sparks Sport collapsed. They used to

109
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: pay by the way one hundred and eleven million, now

110
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 2: down to eighty five million. But now it's been revealed

111
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: that New Zealand by B is talking to a company

112
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 2: called doa Zone spelt daz N. They're British and they've

113
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 2: made a lot of money with pay per view fights

114
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 2: and they're buying foxtail in Australia. So this cycle will

115
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 2: include a six week tour of South Africa by the

116
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: All Blacks, the twenty twenty seven World Cup, a Lions

117
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: tour of New Zealand and twenty nine and another six

118
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 2: week visit by the spring Box in twenty thirty. Plus

119
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 2: of course also Super Rugby Pacific, which even though it's

120
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 2: only two games in, appears to have its mojo back.

121
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 2: So this is pretty sexy, really, this is a pretty sexy,

122
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: right schedule. So do Zone is loaded and backed by

123
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 2: Ukrainian billionaire and Saudi interests, and you have to ask

124
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 2: if that buying Foxdell, well why don't they just buy

125
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 2: all of Sky? And this may just be a New

126
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 2: Zealand ruby bluff to force Sky's hand, and I don't

127
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 2: mind that because I think the Sky was low balling

128
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: New Zealand Roby in the first place, and I hope

129
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 2: that Sky comes up to the mark because they're still

130
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 2: the best model for a country like ours. You deny

131
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 2: rural New Zealand, they're all blacks at their peril and

132
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 2: with the state of rural broadband, that means Sky's satellite

133
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 2: model is the best delivery option. So we wait to

134
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 2: see it. Is thirteen after.

135
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: Five Andrew Dickens.

136
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: So they've been looking at our waste water again and

137
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 2: seeing what drugs we take. And the thing that's causing

138
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 2: the most concern is we're taking a whole heap more opioids.

139
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 2: So why is that happening and can we do anything

140
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 2: about that? Glenn Dobson from the Drug Detection Agency is next.

141
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 2: It's thirteen after five.

146
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: about zero and it's big backer Peter Teel. I might

147
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 2: get that into the program a bit later on, but

148
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 2: right now, the Drug Detection Agency has just released the

149
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: latest workplace drug detection data and it's taken a different

150
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 2: trend in the last quarter. Cannabis use is down four

151
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: point seven percent, and phetamines are up and opioids are

152
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: on the rise. Opioid use up twelve percent. So Drug

Speaker 2: Detection Agency CEO Glenn Dobson is with me now, hullo

154
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: Glenn won Andrew. So our opioid use it's up. Is

155
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: this because we're sicker or are we more addicted?

156
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 7: Yeah?

157
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 8: Good question, And look, these stats probably don't tell us

158
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 8: exactly the reason why it. That's why we track it quarterly,

159
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 8: seeing it's concerned. One of the big questions that we've

160
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 8: got and we'll continue to trackers. Are we starting to

161
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 8: follow the US and global trends? Hearing Zealand in ration

162
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 8: to the big increase in the problems that synthetic opioids

163
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 8: can cause both in the community and from our perspective

164
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 8: and work based safety.

165
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 2: Because of course, as prescription medications have the opioids in it,

166
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 2: so can you correlate the use of prescriptions and the

167
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: actual use of opioids in the waste water and figure

168
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: out if there's an excess which proves the addiction.

169
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 8: Look, you're seeing the can and obviously the health side

170
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 8: of New Zealand can comment on prescription usage and so forth.

171
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 8: You know, University of Auckland Effacty of Medical Health Sciences

172
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 8: only a couple of years ago released to papers. They

173
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 8: were concerned about the potential over prescription of tremadol, which

174
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 8: is obviously a synthetic opuwoord as well, so that there's

175
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 8: ways to track that. But there's also a huge issue

176
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 8: globally around the illicit use of opioids as well. From

177
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 8: the criminal gangs perspective, they're cheap to make, they're easy

178
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 8: to make in the labs, and because they're very powerful,

179
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 8: you don't need as much and so they're easy to

180
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 8: move around globally.

181
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, with other drugs, we're not smoking as much weed.

182
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, if there's a positive cannabis uses down that,

183
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 8: it's really good from a safety perspective. Cannabis is always

184
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 8: one of our higher drugs. And the other concern I

185
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 8: guess is that methan phenamine is up as well, and

186
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 8: obviously we know how the base of that drug is.

187
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's up to twenty four point four percent. That's

188
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 2: up from eighteen point eight percent in the previous quarter

189
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 2: or the quarter in twenty twenty three. So we're not

190
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: winning that battle, are we.

191
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 8: No, Look, we're not. You know, I know you mentioned

192
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 8: before the wastewater stance. We know that we've seen a

193
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 8: real increase in wastewater stance as well. Now from our statistics,

194
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 8: we know we're looking at a slightly different population base.

195
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 8: We're looking at workplaces as opposed to the entire population

196
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 8: from a wasteworth perspective. But from our issue, it's all

197
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 8: around safety, and it's a real concern.

198
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 2: Well, looking at the workplace, what sort of industries are

199
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 2: you testing the most and who's using the most drugs?

200
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 8: But it's right across the board. Predominantly workplace drug testing

201
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 8: is traditionally than what you consider blue collar workplaces, but

202
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 8: now it's right across the board. Obviously, safety is the

203
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 8: main reason around drug tests in the workplace, but also

204
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 8: a lot of companies are doing it from a reputational

205
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 8: risk perspective, making sure they've got no issues within their

206
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 8: workplace that will affect their reputation. You know, we've seen

207
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 8: recently over the years issues around drugs in our cool

208
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 8: and workplaces and what color industries like the legal fraternity

209
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 8: and from the issues that they cause.

210
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 2: And when you show employers this sort of data, what

211
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 2: do they say.

212
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 8: Well, first and foremost, it's really interesting. It's good to

213
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 8: be aware of what trends we're seeing and see if

214
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 8: it increases. They are very keen to understand what it

215
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 8: may mean for them in the workplace and also to

216
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 8: hold really good, strong conversations with their employees. It's around

217
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 8: create a culture of openness, the culture of understanding what

218
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 8: the issues are and discussing them openly so that everyone's

219
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 8: aware and ultimately iring it's own safe to their families.

220
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, Absolutely, the drugs don't work,

221
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 2: and they really don't work at work. Glenn Dobson, you're

222
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 2: doing great work. Can I thank you for your time today?

223
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 2: Glenn's the CEO of the Drug Detection Agency. About infrastructure

224
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 2: at the moment as well, isn't it? That's what we

225
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 2: need to bring up our productivity. So we've got some

226
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 2: good news in terms of the amount of money that's

227
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 2: been committed to infrastructure, But the question is how much

228
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 2: earth is actually being turned. We'll answer that for you next.

229
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 2: It is now five twenty.

230
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day Early

231
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 1: edition with Andrew Dickens and One Room, Make your property

232
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: Surgeon simple.

233
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 2: You talk sippy five twenty two on a Wednesday, and

234
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 2: all is well, and my text number is ninety two

235
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 2: ninety two. Now there's a bit of news realm when

236
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 2: it comes to infrastructure. Last quarter's Infrastructure Commission update shows

237
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 2: an increase of sixty point four billion dollars since the

238
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 2: previous quarter. The total value of projects now set at

239
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 2: two hundred and four billion dollars. That's a lot of money.

240
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 2: That's a lot of projects, but how many have broken ground? Meanwhile,

241
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 2: the governments announced an overhaul of the Public Works Act,

242
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 2: which will aim to speed up infrastructure processes. Infrastructure New

243
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 2: Zealand Policy Director Michelle McCormick is with me. Now, Hello Michelle,

244
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 2: good morning Andrew. So how many have broken ground? Do

245
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 2: you know?

246
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 9: We've got fifteen hundred in underway under contract, so that's

247
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 9: forty eight point six billion dollars, which is quite significant.

248
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 9: But yeah, we've still got a wee way to go,

249
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 9: so there's still you know, out of a total of

250
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 9: seven six hundred projects in the pipeline, just over half

251
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 9: actually have funding. Committed, so there's a bit of work

252
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 9: to do before we actually get all those into construction.

253
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 9: And I mean also just because they're in the pipeline

254
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 9: also means that, you know, there's a lot of work

255
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 9: to do in terms of getting consenting as well as

256
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 9: the funding aligned. So what is good news though, is

257
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 9: that we've got a lot more organizations contributing to the

258
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 9: pipeline information. So that's not only the government, local government,

259
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 9: but also the private sector. So the value of having

260
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 9: the pipeline and it's been visible both right across New

261
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 9: Zealands to know what work force we need, but also

262
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 9: internationally too to see what opportunities there are.

263
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 10: Now.

264
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 2: I know that the construction industry has complained about the

265
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 2: fact that the government canceled a lot of the projects

266
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 2: and their bid to actually cut government spending. So have

267
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 2: we canceled a lot?

268
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, things did stop, that is very true, and things

269
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 9: are taking a while to get going. As I said,

270
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 9: just because it's in the pipeline doesn't mean there's shovels

271
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 9: in the ground, so all their pre work. You can

272
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,119
Speaker 9: take several years actually to get consents to acquire properties.

273
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 9: So maintaining a workforce here have definitely been challenging over

274
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 9: the last couple of years. There haven't been that level

275
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 9: of activity to keep people active, and we have seen

276
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 9: people go after or.

277
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 2: Unfortunately exactly of course, if we don't give them work,

278
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 2: they go and find it, and they find it overseas.

279
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 2: I talked in my intro about the overhaul of the

280
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: Public Works Act that's going to allow agencies like NCTA

281
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 2: to enter into acquisition agreements with landowners and enable collaboration

282
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 2: between agencies. You've got to buy the land before you

283
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: can start building on this. Is this making a difference

284
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 2: or will it make it?

285
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 11: Hope?

286
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 9: Yeah, it definitely should help speed things up. So we're

287
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 9: looking at legislation being introduced the middle of the year,

288
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 9: but what has been signaled is really promising. It will

289
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 9: cut some of the red tape at the moment MDTA

290
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 9: has to go through the Minister to get those final

291
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 9: approvals once you know they are negotiations. But also when

292
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 9: we've got some complicated development space where you know you

293
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 9: might have one agency doing the roading, others providing telecommunications,

294
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 9: you know, each of them had to go through their

295
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 9: own process and now we can actually see that group

296
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 9: together and acquired for one purpose, So that just makes

297
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 9: total sense.

298
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 2: Well, bring it on, Michelle. We love the work. Michelle McCormack,

299
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 2: the policy director Infrastructure in New Zealand. News Talks here

300
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 2: be it is five twenty five Camslators back in writing,

301
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 2: and he's writing quite well.

302
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: More on the CineMo, the early edition full the show

303
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: podcast on iHeartRadio. Now it by news Talks at B.

304
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 2: There's talks that B. Good morning to you. I'm Andrew

305
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 2: Dickinson for Ryan Bridge. So Cam Slater say what you

306
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 2: like about him. He can certainly write. His head is

307
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 2: ups and downs. He's paid for some bad behavior, but

308
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 2: he has good flow in his writing. He always had

309
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 2: a good contact book. But whether those contacts still talk

310
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 2: to him as anybody's guess. But anyway, he's now renamed

311
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 2: Whale Oil to a website called Good Oil, and yesterday

312
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 2: he wrote a think piece called the Coming National Coup.

313
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 2: He reckons Christopher Luckson's are continued bad numbers means the

314
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 2: National Party is now seriously talking about replacing him as leader,

315
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 2: even cams and on game these days, he claims. Sources

316
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 2: inside caucus say that Luxon has three months to turn

317
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 2: around his numbers He claims that women doesn't don't like Luxon,

318
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 2: people who believe in anything don't like Christopher because nobody

319
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 2: knows what he believes. Kam Sater says his coalition partners

320
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 2: know what they believe, and he says, the free marketeers

321
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 2: can go with Act, the nationalists can go with New

322
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 2: Zealand first, So who's going to go with Christopher? He says,

323
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 2: the opposition can smell blood, and then he lumps the

324
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 2: media into the opposition care even though of course he

325
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: is acting like an opposition right now with this opinion.

326
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 2: But slowly, Christopher Luxon seems to be losing the support

327
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 2: of the center right, according to cam Slater, not that

328
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 2: he had much in the first place. To be fair,

329
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 2: he was never given a honeymoon period. I think the

330
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 2: electric could see that he had a very performative nature

331
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 2: in his politics. But these are easy editorials to write,

332
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 2: and everyone can point out the flaws and the problems

333
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 2: with anything. Only the truly talented can provide a solution.

334
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 2: So if the problem is Christopher Luxen, what is the answer?

335
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 2: Is it willis is it Bishop? Is it Stamford or

336
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 2: is it Simeon? There the next four on the list

337
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: you want to go deeper. Would Mitchell, Goldsmith or Collins

338
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 2: be any better than Christopher Luxon Fkam is correct and

339
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 2: a coup is coming inside the next three months. Could

340
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 2: that be National shooting itself in the foot well?

341
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 7: Of course it is.

342
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 2: Did they learn nothing from all the long years in

343
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 2: opposition where they chopped and changed their leaders without going

344
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 2: forward in any way, shape or form. Andrew Dickens, Wayne

345
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 2: Brown hates Cones. Wayne Brown knows that if he says

346
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 2: I hate Cones, people vote for him this election year

347
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 2: for the Auka mayor. I'm going to tell you what

348
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,040

Speaker 2: and before six Sunny Cashale, because look at that retail

350

Speaker 2: crime figures are down, which is great news for dairy owners.

351
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 2: So Sonny is joining me just before six here on

352
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 2: News Talks it.

Speaker 12: Be I say for Foo only you'll never.

354
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 13: Life is much better.

355
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: Just stash with me, get ahead of the headlines on

358
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 2: Good mon here, I'm at that and for yan Bridgehill

359
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 2: were doing the drive show today. Thank you for choosing us.

360
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 2: I hope you're having a great day so far. So

361
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 2: a lot of people don't trust camp Slater. Andrew says, Chris,

362
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,239
Speaker 2: I would trust one thing that Cameron say. It has

363
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,479
Speaker 2: to say. Most people I know light the way Christopher

364
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 2: Luxon is working, Hugh says Andrew Slater hasn't liked a

365
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 2: National leader since Muller, and look how well that turned out.

366
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 2: Slater and Houghton have a busy subverting the nets again.

367
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 2: It's the same old, same old, But then we've got

368
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 2: John and John says I cannot wait for Erica Stamford

369
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 2: to be National's leader. Yesterday's interview with Mike Hosking typified

370
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 2: Christopher Luxon's inability to answer a simple yes no question,

371
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 2: which is true. However, here's my question that I put

372
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 2: to you. If Christopher Luxen is the problem, what is

373
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 2: the answer? And I can't see an answer, So let's

374
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 2: give the PMR support now. Oh Ukham Mayor Wayne Brown

375
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 2: says he wants to pause work on the Victoria Street

376
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 2: Linear Park in the Central City, much to the relief

377
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 2: of all Orchanders. The park's idea is that it's a

378
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 2: green path park from Albert Park to Victoria Park. It's

379
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 2: got some footpaths in it's some cycle lanes, and they

380
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 2: reduce the road from four lanes of traffic to two.

381
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 2: Now he's sick of the cost and the disruptions. He

382
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 2: wants at to tidy the side up and work to

383
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 2: improve the flow of traffic from east to west through

384
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 2: the city, and just to stop. He's not alone. Councilor

385
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 2: Ken Turner calls the street a quote bugger's muddle. He

386
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 2: claims it takes them thirty minutes to travel the two

387
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 2: hundred meters length of the street, and Orchanders will understand

388
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 2: the mayor's concerned because though work has taken seemingly forever,

389
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 2: and maybe that's the real issue. It's not the work,

390
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 2: but why it's taken so long. But there we go

391
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 2: to stop a job when we're in the home stretch.

392
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 2: Is that a waste of all the time and money

393
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 2: we've already spent. Imagine when Paris was building the Champs

394
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 2: of liz in the sixteen hundreds and somebody said, it

395
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 2: takes me forever to get a horse down that road.

396
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: Let's just stop that, and they stop work on the

397
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 2: shams of leagues. Then the world would be denied one

398
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 2: of the great boulevards. Now, I am not saying the

399
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 2: Victoria Street is anything like the Songs of Ease, but

400
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 2: I think I would be a bit hacked off if

401
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 2: we've lived through all the mess so far only to

402
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:20,959
Speaker 2: find that we're left with a half finished dog's breakfast. Well, man,

403
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 2: I'll be happy about this. Is Sonny Kashal, the champion

404
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 2: of the small business world who hated what happened on

405
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,959
Speaker 2: Albert Street. He's routed against CRL work since day one.

406
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 2: He joins me just before six. But right now, let's

407
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 2: go round the regions and Callum Proctor joins me from

408
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 2: Dunedin Haller. Callum Hi, right, Andrew talk me through this

409
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 2: subregional deal for Otago and the Central Lakes.

410
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 7: Well, it's a step closer to becoming a reality. The

411
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 7: Queenstown Lakes District Council has voted in favor of adopting

412
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 7: this framework, working alongside Central Otago and Otago Regional Councils.

413
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 7: So this would see the Council's deliver a range of

414
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 7: initiatives to address critical needs in the reas with the

415
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 7: help of the government's Regional Deals program. Amir Glenn Lewis

416
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 7: says it's a chance, so even the power dynamic of

417
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 7: central and local government. He says, this will allow them

418
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 7: to achieve things they've talked about for the last six years. O.

419
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 7: This proposal now goes to the other two councils before

420
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 7: it's sent to the Department of Internal Affairs.

421
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 2: How's your weather?

422
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 7: It's good right around Otago Queenstown twenty two today janeedin

423
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 7: a high of twenty Thank.

424
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 2: You, calam Proctor Claire shere, well, good morning to you

425
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 2: from christ Church. Good morning, So the mayor is talking

426
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 2: about alcohol.

427
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 14: Yeah, well, everyone here in Christchurch in terms of the

428
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 14: council is talking about alcohol this week and there's a

429
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 14: focus or a hope to ensure that we can address

430
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 14: alcohol harm here while not impacting upon our hospitality sector.

431
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 14: Public feedback on the draft annual plan will officially begin today.

432
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 14: That includes a potential local alcohol policy that would set

433
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 14: rules around the number, the location and the opening hours

434
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,959
Speaker 14: of licensed premises, as well as some other regulations. Now

435
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 14: our Mayor Film Major says there is six policies being considered,

436
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 14: but some may not make it to that consultation phase.

437
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 14: He says, they don't want to kill hospitality here as

438
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 14: people come to christ church for that. As we know,

439
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 14: we just looked at the weekend with Electric Avenue. How's

440
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 14: your weather mostly cloudy with a few spots of brizzle

441
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 14: about today, then becoming fine southerles and a high eighteen.

442
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 2: Good day for a beer, But I probably shouldn't say that.

443
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 2: Max coll from Wellington, Good morning, Good morning, Another person

444
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 2: hit by a bus?

445
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 13: Yeah, this really is a notorious stretch of central Wellington.

446
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 13: For the second time in a week, if funnily enough,

447
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 13: people had to rush to the aid of a pedestrian

448
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 13: critically injured in central Wellington, this time on Manors Street

449
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 13: just after four thirty yesterday afternoon. Earlier this week, a

450
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 13: sixty six year old German woman badly hit by a

451
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 13: car on Courtney Place, both taking the hospital in a

452
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 13: critical condition. Last night, a witness told us a pedestrian

453
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 13: stepped out onto the road on Manners and was hit

454
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 13: between Victoria and Cuba Street's first aid was delivered until

455
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 13: ambulances arrived. A double deck of us remained parked on

456
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 13: the street. Buses last night diverted to other parts of

457
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 13: the CBD. This part of Wellington just the terrible record.

458
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 13: It's baffling, in fact to see the chances people take

459
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 13: crossing the road away from the lights, because it seems

460
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 13: every few months a bus hit someone. It's mostly buses

461
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 13: that go along. There dozens of accidents in the past

462
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 13: fifteen twenty years.

463
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 2: I don't want to be self righteous, but we've paid

464
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 2: an awful lot of money for some pedestrian crossings with

465
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 2: lights that actually keep you safe. So why don't you

466
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 2: use those anyway? How's your weather?

467
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 13: Yeah, some early rain clearing this morning twenty the high

468
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 13: Central And to welcome.

469
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 2: We go neither write a matter, Hello, good morning. So

470
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 2: a police station which closed ten years ago is being reopened.

471
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,959
Speaker 12: That's right, Andrew. Now look it's a police station custody unit. Now,

472
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 12: that's the one that's been reopened on the north Shore.

473
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 12: This is after being decommissioned for a decade ago. Actually,

474
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 12: so police say it's opening. That's going to support the

475
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 12: operations right across north Shore and Rodney, reducing the time

476
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 12: take and transporting people in custody. So the Wiamata East

477
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 12: District Council or East District Custody Unit, that's a big

478
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 12: enough thing to say. Based on the north Shore Policing

479
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 12: Center unit that's accepted its first attainees since twenty thirteen,

480
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 12: just yesterday morning. So Richard Chambers, the Police Commissioner, says,

481
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 12: this facility's really advanced technically and technologically and future focus

482
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 12: for custody staff.

483
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 2: So it's all good, fabulous.

484
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 4: How's the weather, well, cloudy conditions.

485
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 12: We've got isolated light showers this morning, but then it's clearing.

486
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 12: Is going to be fine, fine, fine, high twenty.

487
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 2: Five, Thank you, Neva. It is seventeen to six. So

488
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 2: Peter Teal, you know, the US billionaire, the tech bro

489
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 2: who's right behind Donald Trump. He's winding down his New

490
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 2: Zealand business interests. He has wound down his company called Vala,

491
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 2: that was his only remaining connection to New Zealand apart

492
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 2: from his passport. He's still got a stake in a

493
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 2: Wellington based audiobook production outfit called book Track, and he

494
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 2: still has that one hundred and ninety hectare block of

495
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 2: farmland on the shores of Lake Wonica that he can't develop.

496
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 2: But here's the thing, Peter Teal, right, billionaire, he once

497
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 2: claimed he would turbo charge our tech sector, and he

498
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 2: found that no other country aligned more with my view

499
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 2: of the future than New Zealand. But obviously that's not true.

500
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 2: And for love inures. By the way, he made a

501
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 2: lot of money with that. He did a play into

502
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,959
Speaker 2: zero right at the very beginning, back in two thousand

503
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 2: and seven. He bought into the company when the shares

504
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 2: were at one dollar. They then soared to more than

505
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 2: ninety dollars. So Peter Teel is out of here, but

506
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 2: he made a lot of money, speaking money, a lot

507
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 2: of money being spent on defense in the UK. We're

508
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 2: off to our correspondent, where's the kutter in just a

509
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 2: few moments time here on news Talk se B it's

510
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 2: sixteen to.

511
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: Six international correspondence with ends and eye insurance, Peace of

512
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business.

513
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, the time is how thirteen minutes to six were

514
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 2: off to the UK and we're joined now by Wesley

515
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 2: Smith Heller Wesley moy going to do how are you

516
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 2: very good? The big story right around the world is

517
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 2: seeing that Kirs Starmer wants to spend more on defense.

518
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, if his intention to make the nations

519
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 4: sit up and listen, he certainly succeeded. Today. This speech,

520
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 4: which I listened to live, sounded to say that the

521
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 4: UK is on a war footing He described Russia as

522
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 4: a menace and said the UK needs a sharper focus

523
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 4: on defense, enhancing intelligence budgets too. Probably no coincidence had

524
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 4: caused Andrew that all this comes just ahead of his

525
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 4: trip to Washington to meet President Trump, who has raised

526
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 4: more than a few eyebrows with his recent comments on

527
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 4: the Ukraine War, appearing somewhat warmer should we say in

528
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 4: his approach to Vladimir Putin was Wastarmer spoke of his

529
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 4: visits to Ukraine and how he felt personally affected by

530
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 4: what he'd seen and said we must stand by its people.

531
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 4: So he needs to show now he means business in Washington,

532
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 4: but has a huge diplomatic to achieve. So he made

533
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 4: a point of underlining the UK's decades long mutually supportive

534
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 4: relationship with the US and said it must continue to

535
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 4: go from strength to strength. So in the comments he

536
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 4: pledged what he calls the biggest increase in defense spending

537
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 4: since the end of the Cold War, thirteen point four

538
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 4: billion pounds a year. I guess around thirty billion New

539
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 4: Zealand dollars from twenty to twenty seven. But on the

540
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 4: day householders here had energy prices will rise again from

541
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 4: April secure. Starmer said, we all have to shoulder some

542
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 4: of the burden through hard choices. Much of the funding

543
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 4: will come at the cost of international aid, although that's

544
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 4: a budget cut to almost half that and very much

545
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 4: to the disquiet of some who fear it will dentile

546
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 4: global reputation. He did say, however, he hoped it could

547
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 4: eventually be restored.

548
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, the squeaking from aid agencies has you can

549
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 2: hear it over here in New Zealand, that's for sure.

550
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 2: They're really complaining about the whole thing. But at the

551
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 2: same time, it has been a very long time when

552
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,959
Speaker 2: that any country has been on what you call war footing,

553
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 2: and that war footing all through the ages has always

554
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 2: meant hardships. So what interesting times we live in? Such

555
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 2: interesting times that apparently there is a solid gold toilet

556
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 2: seat worth what six million New Zealand dollars and it's

557
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 2: now been stolen it.

558
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 4: It was an art installation, fully functioning eighteen carrot solid

559
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 4: gold toilet called America Make of that what you will,

560
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 4: by the artist Barizio Catalan. It was on display at

561
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 4: Blenham Palace, one of England's most lavish stately homes. Birthplace

562
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 4: of the wartime leader Sir Winston Churchill. Now it's taken

563
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 4: a while for this case to come to Oxford Crown Court,

564
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 4: as the said gold's toilet seat disappeared back in September

565
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 4: twenty nineteen, when ninety eight kilograms the gold alone was

566
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 4: valued at two point eight million pounds. It's never been recovered.

567
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 4: The court heard it had most likely been split up

568
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 4: into smaller amounts of gold. It only been on display

569
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 4: for a day when the overnight raid happened. Whoever removed

570
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 4: it used sledgehammers which were left at the sea with

571
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 4: water pouring out of the pipes. The entire operation, Andrew

572
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 4: only took about five minutes well, the prosecution claimed, in

573
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 4: a couple of days contact was made with a jeweler

574
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 4: in London's famous Hatton Garden, and the court heard a

575
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 4: lot of preparation must have happened before the raid, and

576
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 4: claim one of the men acused of the theft had

577
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 4: visited the exhibit and taken a photo just hours before

578
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 4: that raid. What three men are up in court and

579
00:28:58,600 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 4: the trial continues.

580
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 2: When you have to go, you really have to go,

581
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 2: it seams and I thank you. That is Wesley Smith

582
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 2: that is ten to six. Andrew Diggers, there's some good

583
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 2: news for us on this Wednesday. Violent crime has increased

584
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 2: by has increased by two percent. Sorry, this is not

585
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 2: good news. Well would you say decrease? It should be

586
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 2: decreased by two percent for the first time since twenty eighteen.

587
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 2: New police data shows RAM raids down fifty eight percent.

588
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 2: Serious assaults were down one percent. Sorry, Retail crime itself

589
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 2: has trended upwards with a twelve percent increaset of theft.

590
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 2: So dairy business Owners Group Champis and Sunny Kassell joins

591
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 2: you right now. Hello, Sonny Cure, Andrew, how are you good?

592
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 2: So with the RAM raids down and the serious assaults down,

593
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 2: can we say that the tough on crime approach has worked.

594
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 11: Well, it's a great beginning and a relief for retailers

595
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 11: and dairy owners. As you know, they lived in fear

596
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 11: every day for years, you know, and people are feeling

597
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 11: the difference between the two governments that you know are

598
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 11: soft on crime up versus getting tough on crime. So,

599
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 11: as you rightly said, the RAM rates are down. The

600
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 11: violent crime, which was increased fifty one percent between twenty

601
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 11: eighteen and twenty twenty three has a first time since

602
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 11: twenty eighteen. And also the back to basics model in

603
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 11: the policing model, it is working. As you could see

604
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 11: now the aggravator robberies are popped and you could see

605
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 11: Auckland CVD. It's you know, looks much safer than it

606
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 11: used to be. And here is also a difference I

607
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 11: guess between two police ministers, you know, Ginny Anderson until

608
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 11: twenty twenty three, who basically did nothing and it was

609
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 11: all talks, but versus Mark Mitchell who is making a difference.

610
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 11: So but there's a lot more to be done, and

611
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 11: I think there's a broad beginning.

612
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 2: Could we argue that with the violent climb down, the

613
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 2: ram rates down, the serious assaults down, those things that

614
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 2: has happened, But those bag dectors, those bad dudes now

615
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 2: actually going back to the old things, doing burglaries, that

616
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 2: they're doing theft and they're doing shoplifting.

617
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 11: Well, look, this will take time and also there are

618
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 11: new solutions which would be required. You know, one side,

619
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 11: police are doing good job operationally, it's making a difference,

620
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 11: but we need to make sure that justice system also delivers.

621
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 11: The justice system need to be overhauled. They need to

622
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 11: get tough, and they need to be consequences. You know,

623
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 11: it's a time for a zero tolerance approach to crime offenders.

624
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 11: Regardless of their age, they must face real consequences for

625
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 11: the actions.

626
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,200

Speaker 2: Thank you if you take thirty two ninety two, and

634
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 2: yes it's true. When you're starting looking at statistick sometimes

635
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 2: they say one thing and they actually meet another. Texas says,

636
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 2: I think retail crime has probably gone up because police

637
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 2: are actually doing something about it. And that's true. They're

638
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 2: catching them, so therefore the numbers will go up. But

639
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 2: that doesn't necessarily mean the crime itself is going up.

640
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 2: But there we go. Show business US you two. Matt

00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 10: Now, morning, there's an announcement coming today. You'll be pleased

649
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 10: to know from the Retail Crime group. Remember Sunny Koschel

650
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 10: and his mates were just talk to them. Oh good,

651
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 10: So did he tell you what he's announcing? Well, they're

652
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 10: not announced citizens arrest. Yeah, and so it's got weird.

653
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 10: Did he say they're announcing, No, we didn't get there personally. No,

654
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 10: we'll see the gold the announced Justice Minister's coming to

655
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 10: you anyway. They go, that's what they're announcing today. So

656
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 10: along with the violent crime stats. So that's all good

657
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 10: because he's getting paid hundreds of dollars a day and

658
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 10: millions are not that I'm against some good luck, but

659
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,239
Speaker 10: they've taken a long time to come up with all

660
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 10: the stuff they thought of at the very beginning.

661
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 2: If you go back to you know, let's go back

662
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 2: to citizens arrest though. You know, that's great when it works,

663
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 2: but it's terrible when it doesn't. Well, it's not you

664
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 2: and me well, why where a citizen? Why can't we arrest?

665
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 10: Well, yeah, but you know what I'm saying, it'll be

666
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 10: security guards and stuff. I mean, I'm not arresting anybody.

667
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 2: I mean you will, You're very arresting.

668
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 10: Maybe once maybe once. Maybe you do it once, see

669
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,640
