Speaker 3: sent its assistant coach and an analyst home after using

00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,480

Speaker 3: head coach has also removed herself from coaching the game

24
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,200

25
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,800

00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,880

Speaker 3: Brilliant game and I can tell you that we won

32
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 3: two to one in the last few minutes. We've also

33
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 3: in the sevens, the men's sevens beaten Japan forty twelve

34

40
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:18,400

Speaker 3: News Talk Sidy now eight up to five. Karmala Harris

46
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 3: is talking to a college, a traditional black college in

47
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 3: the United States right now. Actually she's giving an address

48
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 3: to them. I'm wondering whether she's going to change up

49
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 3: her speeches. You might have noticed she did the exact

50
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 3: same speech yesterday that she did the day before. I mean,

51
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 3: I know it's early days in the campaign, but here

52
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 3: in New Zealand, small businesses are holding on for dear life.

53
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 3: And you can see it when you, I mean you

54
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 3: will know this. You walk down the street. You know

55
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 3: how bad it is. There's a magazine shop I was

56
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 3: reading about yes which is just up the road from me. Normally,

57
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 3: well this is you know, and when we weren't in

58
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 3: a cost of living crisis and being squeezed by interest rates,

59
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 3: they would have seventy to eighty people a day through

60
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 3: this through the shop and a conversion rate of sixty

61
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: to seventy percent, So sixty to seventy percent of those

62
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 3: people would buy something. Now they're lucky to get fifteen

63
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 3: people a day in the shop, and they reckon turn

64
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 3: over is thirty percent of what it was eight years ago.

65
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 3: I mean, that's devastating, isn't it? And so how long

66
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 3: can small businesses hold on? Interesting new numbers this morning

67
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 3: Zero's Small Business Insights reporters out for GOM quarter sales

68
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 3: are down one and a half percent year on year,

69
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 3: No surprise there. For May it was two zero point

70
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 3: four percent, a June was eight point three percent. So

71
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 3: you've now had three consecutive months of falls. However, jobs

72
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 3: are up and wages are up as well, so they

73
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 3: think this is a sign that businesses are slightly optimistic

74
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 3: about conditions getting better. But the sales are dropping, and

75
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 3: if they continue to drop, the question then becomes how

76
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 3: long can they actually hold on? Ray and Bridge ten

77
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 3: after five. So this plane crash in the pool. I mean,

78
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 3: usually no one survives a plane crash. It's pretty devastating,

79
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 3: is that in terms of loss of life. However, this

80
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 3: plane takes off from the airport, hits the ground soon

81
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 3: after take off, burst into flames. Eighteen people dead. This

82
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 3: is just in the last to twenty four hours. Eighteen

83
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 3: people dead, but one person survives, it's the pilot. Can

84
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 3: you imagine the survivor's guilt that this pilot is going

85
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 3: to be going through. So the plane takes off, apparently

86
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 3: turns the wrong way when it took off, was meant

87
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 3: to go left and went right instead. Falls to that

88
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 3: the crashes into the ground, burst into flames. The pilot

89
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 3: is rescued from this burning wreckage. He's got non fatal injuries.

90
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 3: He's going to be okay. But the other eighteen on

91
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 3: board all dead, devastating the airport. Interestingly, because you know

92
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 3: this airport's in Nepal are quite notorious for plane crashes.

93
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 3: This is this is not particularly unusual. But what I

94
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 3: found interesting is the airport closed for a few hours

95
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 3: to the story and then reopen. Just got eleven after

96
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 3: five year on news Talk said be.

97
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with

98
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and Smith City New Zealand's Furniture Beds and

99
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: applying store News Talk said be.

100
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 3: Thirsting after five great to have your company this morning.

101
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 3: The Transport Coalition is calling for Wellington Council to rethink

102
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 3: the raised crossings that they're proposing for Thornton Key that

103
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,559
Speaker 3: get this five raised crossings in a one point seven

104
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 3: kilometer stretch of road. The coalition says that the crossings

105
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 3: can cause damage to large passenger vehicles and freight vehicles

106
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 3: and an increased risk for delays and disruptions for your

107
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 3: emergency services. That's your ambulances and your fire service. Dom

108
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 3: Klasi is the interim CEO of Transporting New Zealand, they

109
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 3: look after road freight. He's with me this morning. Dom.

110
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,559
Speaker 3: How slow would a truck have to have to slow

111
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 3: down to to get over one of these things?

112
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 6: What city council is saying is they want vehicles to

113
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 6: slow down to about thirty kilometers an hour. They're actually

114
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 6: going to put signs up to sew there.

115
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 3: Right and will trucks have to go even slower than that,

116
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 3: you know big ones?

117
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, Look, particularly if they've got fragile cargo on board.

118
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 6: You know, every time you go over a sharp bump

119
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 6: then you do need to slow down otherwise you can

120
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 6: damage the cargo.

121
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 3: So we're talking like five crossings, five raised crossings. You'd

122
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 3: be going ten k's over these crossings or something like that.

123
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 6: If you've got that would make it comfortable. And we're

124
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 6: just carrying freight think about all the people and buses

125
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 6: and ambulances and ambulances. You know, people could be on

126
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 6: their way to hospital and they're going over these bumps.

127
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 6: It's not very nice.

128
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 3: No, And also, I mean foreign emergency is said that

129
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 3: it could add fifty to sixty seconds delayed to their

130
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 3: response time, which may not sound like much, but in

131
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 3: a life or death situation, and you're tak into account

132
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,119
Speaker 3: that their target is eight minutes to get to an event.

133
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 6: Absolutely end. I think you might be aware fends they

134
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 6: get involved in providing CPR when ambulance can't, so you

135
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 6: know that's even more critical.

136
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 3: Is this in terms of FRAID, because that's your area

137
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 3: of expertise. Is this a busy road?

138
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 7: It is?

139
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 6: And look, if I understand the typically there's about eleven

140
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 6: thousand vehicles going down there each day, and I suspect

141
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 6: about sixteen percent of those, so it's somewhere around the

142
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 6: eighteen hundred vehicles a day are freight vehicles that would

143
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 6: have to slow down five times, regardless of whether they've

144
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 6: got right of way through the site, very through the signals.

145
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 3: Is counsel listening to you, guys, Do you think that

146
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 3: there's a chance they'll change things.

147
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 6: Well, we're spoked. Actually, the mayor wrote to our coalition

148
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 6: yesterday acknowledging that there needs to be a balance of

149
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 6: all factors when considering these sorts of thing. So we're

150
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 6: looking forward to that discussion.

151
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 3: Better late than never, I suppose, Don, thank you very

152
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 3: much for your time. That's Don Caliesi who with the

153
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 3: Transport group, sorry, the coalition, i should say, group of

154
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 3: transport representatives who aren't basically saying this is going to

155
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 3: slow us down too much. He's in from CEO of

156
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 3: Transporting New Zealand. It's just gone sixteen o five listening.

157
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 3: At least they're listening. That's good news. Hey, you remember

158
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 3: the crowd strike global tech meltdown from last Friday. They

159
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 3: have finally identified fingered, you could say, what caused the

160
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 3: outages for all of those Microsoft Windows users. It was

161
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 3: a bug. This is the official It's a bug in

162
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 3: a quality control tool it uses to check system updates

163
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 3: for mistakes allowed, which allowed the critical flaw to be

164
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 3: pushed to users machines. Honestly, that means nothing to me.

165
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 3: You know you sort of you just ring it, don't you,

166
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 3: and they tell you to turn it back on, turn

167
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 3: it off and turn it on. It means nothing to me.

168
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 3: But basically they had a whoopsie and they figured out

169
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 3: what the whoopsie was. Interesting. So it's tens of thousands

170
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 3: of flights were affected, delayed or canceled. It affected businesses,

171
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 3: It affixed financial institutions, it affix government agencies. It affects

172
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 3: medical centers, school districts all over the world. And the

173
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 3: CEO has now been summoned to test FI in front

174
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 3: of lawmakers in the States. And you saw what happened

175
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 3: to the Secret Service lady. She got well, she didn't

176
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 3: get fired, but she was forced to resign. So good luck, buddy.

177
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 3: It is seventeen after five.

187
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,200

188
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,160

193
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 3: Committee voted unanimously for Saudi Arabia to host them. The

194
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,520

197
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,000

00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 3: good So is this going to be like an official

200
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 3: Olympics endorsed thing.

201
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 8: Yes it is.

202
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a whole new Olympic competition that's been created.

203
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 7: So you'll have the Summer Olympics, the Winter Olympics, and

204
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 7: then the Esports Olympics and they're likely to be in

205
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 7: rotation over the four years.

206
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 3: What do we like at esports? How many you know,

207
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 3: full time athletes do we have? If any?

208
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 8: We don't have a lot of full time athletes, but

209
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 8: we do have some very good athletes. Esports as a

210
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 8: sort of structured sport if you like, is you know,

211
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 8: it's a growing area of sports in New Zealand and

212
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 8: we're getting as the New Zealand Esports Federation. We've been

213
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 8: putting in frames, for example, across the schools to help

214
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 8: have integrity and the competitions and to build pathways for

215
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 8: athletes to progress. And now that we've got this Olympic

216
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 8: Games opportunity, then we'll be looking at how we build

217
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 8: pathways towards the Olympic Games for athletes.

218
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 3: It must be one of the sports that has flushed

219
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 3: with money, is it. I mean, it just seems every

220
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 3: time we talk about esports, it's always something one hundred

221
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 3: million dollars.

222
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 8: Yeah.

223
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, Well, I think what we know is that, you know,

224
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 7: gaining in esports has really grown, and you're seeing a

225
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 7: lot of movies now turning into esports games and often

226
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 7: there's more money in the gaming than what there is

227
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 7: in the movies, So there is a lot of money

228
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 7: in the sector. We also know that the participation rates

229
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 7: are growing very substantially and very quickly. If you talk

230
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 7: to anyone younger than you and I Ryan. A lot

231
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 7: of those people have been playing gaming in some shape

232
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 7: or form, so participation is very high. And now we're

233
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 7: just moving through to having more structured competitions, so there

234
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 7: is a lot of money in that, because there is

235
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 7: a lot of money in gaming.

236
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 3: Connor, thanks for your time this morning, and good luck

237
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 3: with the Olympics. That's kind of English. President of New

238
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 3: Zealand Esports twenty two after five. Coming up next, Well,

239
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 3: we've still got Mitch McCann to get through before six

240
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 3: o'clock this morning. He's out of the States with the

241
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 3: latest on the race for president. Also, Jason Walls will

242
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 3: run us through what the government is preparing in its

243
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 3: response to that report. Yesterday, the Royal Commission into Abuse

244
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 3: steak here all.

245
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: Ahead, separating the fact from the fiction. Kid's Filly edition

246
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture Beds and Appliant store.

247
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 3: News Talk said b twenty five after five, News Talk said,

248
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 3: be shock, horror and online hate this week for that

249
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 3: American who came here, the reality TV show contestant who

250
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 3: came here and murdered one of our native birds and

251
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 3: then ate it. I have a confession for you. It

252
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 3: was a weker that he did, that he killed and ate.

253
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 3: I have a confession, I too have killed and eaten weker. Yes,

254
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 3: but it was buff wecker on the Chatteram Islands and

255
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 3: you're allowed to. It's the only place you can do

256
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 3: it in New Zealand. And it's delicious, I have to confess.

257
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 3: It tasted like a cross between chicken and pork, quite greasy,

258
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 3: but really delicious. And you go over there. I went

259
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 3: there to film for a TV show. You sit in

260
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 3: the ute in the evening drinking whiskey with the local guys.

261
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 3: The dogs go out, get them, bring them to the

262
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 3: window of the ute, they snap the neck, throw them

263
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 3: on the back of the tray. They said that sometimes

264
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 3: they could get hundreds in a night, and they're a

265
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 3: pest over there, so they would run rampant and take

266
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 3: over the island. And the other thing is they eat

267
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 3: native bird eggs, so they're double bad anyway. So there

268
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 3: we are over there eating weicker, having a great time.

269
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 3: And Roger Beatty is a conservationist and an entrepreneur who

270
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 3: was there with us, and he reckons we should farm

271
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 3: worker on the mainland. He says, no farmed species has

272
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 3: ever died out. Currently it's illegal to sell weicker, so

273
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 3: you can't in New Zealand. Doc is dead against it.

274
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 3: But Roger says, we farm plenty of other species in

275
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 3: New Zealand, shellfish trees, so why not birds. It's an

276
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 3: interesting take. He's a bit of a radical, this guy.

277
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 3: Doc says that predator free sanctuaries are the way to go,

278
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 3: and they're working. I mean they are working. You look

279
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 3: at Wellington for example, that is working and they're dead

280
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 3: against farming of any speed. But I kind of think

281
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 3: all options should be on the table. Eighty two percent

282
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 3: of bird species are currently threatened with extinction or at

283
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 3: risk of becoming threatened. So can we really be that

284
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 3: picky or fussy If we're serious about saving them, it's

285
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 3: at least worth a wee. Look see, I would have

286
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 3: thought twenty seven after five Bray.

287
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 9: And Bridge twenty seven half to five.

288
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 3: So why are we playing? Alton John Well He has penned,

289
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 3: co authored and op ed in the Telegraph with none

290
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 3: other than New Zealand's Helen Clark. They've penned an article

291
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 3: about condemning the war on drugs. Basically, Helen Clark is

292
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 3: obviously the chair of the Global Commission on Drug Policy,

293
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 3: and Elton John Well I still has had some experience

294
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 3: with drugs in his use. So they've written an article

295
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 3: together in the Telegraph basically saying the war on drugs

296
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 3: hasn't worked and we need a health approach rather than

297
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 3: a criminal approach to those who are addicted to drugs. Gosh,

298
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 3: strange week, couple of weeks for Halling Clark. Isn't it

299
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 3: to go from co authoring an opied with Don Brash

300
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 3: to co authoring a opied with Elton John I mean

301
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 3: you couldn't get You couldn't get further ends of the

302
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 3: spectrum in terms of males, could you? Anyway there would go?

303
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 3: It's on the Telegraph in the UK today twenty eight

304
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 3: minutes after five. Mitch McCann is with us just before

305
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 3: six o'clock with news out of the States. Jason Walls

306
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 3: will be closer to six and more on Elon Musk.

307
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 3: His stocks and Tesla are down eight percent on poor numbers,

308
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 3: but also that donation forty five million dollars a month

309
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 3: that he was rumored to be giving to Trump's campaign

310
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 3: apparently fake news. More on that soon as well. Are

311
00:16:58,400 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 3: twenty nine after five.

Speaker 3: to have you with me this morning. In the Diary today,

318
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 3: Joe Biden is going to speak for the first time

319
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 3: publicly for the first time from the podium at the

320
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 3: White House to address why he quit the race. He

321
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 3: also needs to prove that he can actually run the

322
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 3: joint till January. As well the Olympics. We've got the

323
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 3: men's sevens in contention this morning versus South Africa at

324
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 3: seven thirty am. Benjamin Netanya, who is speaking at six

325
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 3: am our time in Congress. Over in the States, Karmala

326
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 3: Hallis Harris, I should say, speaking at a rally as well.

327
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 3: So lot's happening, which Mike will keep you updated with

328
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 3: throughout his show this morning as well. Tesla stocks are

329
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 3: down slightly on quarter two numbers. That's news out of

330
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 3: the States. And I always found it strange that Elon

331
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 3: Musk was reportedly going to give forty five million dollars

332
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 3: a month to Donald Trump's campaign. Given what Donald Trump

333
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 3: says about EV's he hates them, you know, why would

334
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 3: you pay? It turns out it was fake news. Elon

335
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 3: Musk has moved to clarify. He says he won't be

336
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 3: donating forty five million dollars, nothing near forty five million

337
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 3: dollars a month. He will donate some money to Donald

338
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 3: Trump's Pack Super Pack campaign. Just gone twenty three away

339
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 3: from six Cranbridge and we'll get to that surface story

340
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 3: out of Australia shortly. It's incredible. First though, Come and

341
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 3: Proctor is with us in the need and gang tensions

342
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 3: at Otago Prison. Come, yeah, morning, Ryan.

343
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 10: It's certainly the case. Has been recent attacks on staff

344
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 10: at the prison near Milson. The Department of Corrections confirming

345
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 10: a prisoner struck a staff member on the head at

346
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 10: the facility on Monday. That staff member needed hospital treatment.

347
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 10: It's the third attack on an Otago prison officer since April.

348
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 10: We've spoken with the general manager, Dave Miller. He says

349
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 10: the perpetrators were from the same gang, but there's no

350
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 10: evidence to suggest the assaults are linked. Says gaging tensions

351
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 10: are constantly monitored there, and Corrections has invested in tools

352
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 10: to keep their staff safe. All right, Colen did it

360
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 11: multiple animal deaths to One News earlier this week. Now

361
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 11: MPI has confirmed found no immediate signs of any animal

362
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,480

363
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 11: days in which every animal was checked. Board member Ken

364
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 11: Huey is confident in the zoo will bounce back from

365
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 11: the allegations and headlines. He acknowledges IRANA is not perfect,

366
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 11: but it works hard to remain transparent and investigates any

367
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 11: concerns that are raised.

368
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,399

00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 3: Thank you, Mex tools and Wellington. An update on the

372
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 3: additiery the theory.

373
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, so obviously this is the inter island the ferry

374
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 4: that ran aground near pickt In just over a month ago.

375
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 4: It has been gradually returning to service freight first. The

376
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 4: biggest step now confirmed within a few days the Aditi

377
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 4: will be taking passengers again. The reason at ran aground

378
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 4: we still don't exactly know why, not a picture book

379
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 4: of transparency into island or KiwiRail. It took New Zealand

380
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 4: first publicly posting its own theory to eventually reveal a

381
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 4: leaked memo that stated the autopilot had been mistakenly turned

382
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 4: on and couldn't be turned off. But we still don't

383
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 4: know exactly why that happened, if it's even true, was

384
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 4: it mechanical? And yet on Sunday several hundred passengers crew

385
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 4: brave souls will hop on board and venture across the

386
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 4: Cook Strait.

387
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 3: That's mate. It is annoying, isn't it that they don't

388
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 3: tell us exactly what's happening and we have to wait

389
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 3: for a report and by then no one cares. And

390
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 3: mex with the weather today in the Capitol.

391
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 4: Mainly fine after a cold start for team the High Central.

392
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 3: Thank you. Neither Riddy Marne was with me in Auckland.

393
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 3: Good morning, good morning.

394
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 12: Sorry, I just walked in. I was too busy chit

395
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 12: chading to your producer. Well, I was having a bit

396
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 12: of a laugh. I know it was very slack. I thought,

397
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 12: what is my job? But I was just saying that overnight.

398
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 12: You know, Tim Beveridge was on and you know, obviously

399
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 12: with the Olympics now starting, he had the TV channel

400
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 12: on the well, it was on the wrong TV channel

401
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 12: when he was watching the football, the live football giving

402
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 12: the update no New Zealand playing Guineing and obviously we

403
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 12: won two one, but it was the delayed coverage. So

404
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 12: just before you came on, just before five years go oh,

405
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 12: and it was only like half time when it was

406
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 12: really finishing. You know, I was waving going, he was saying,

407
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 12: it's one all, but it was the game was over

408
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 12: and we won.

409
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 3: Do you know when I worked on that morning TV show,

410
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 3: people would watch the hour delayed you know, the Plus

411
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 3: one channel, Yes, and they wouldn't know they were watching it.

412
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 3: And the biggest complaint we would get on that program

413
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,479
Speaker 3: was you guys are channing the wrong time. It's like

414
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 3: it's not us, it's you. Anyway, we digress the heritage buildings.

415
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 12: This is great. Now Auckland Council's locked in earthquake strengthening

416
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 12: for four heritage buildings. So that's the Nathan Homestead and Mondal.

417
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 12: There were the Remuera building. Oh, the library I should

418
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 12: say rather tetid only War Memorial Hall and library and

419
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 12: the Lee's Institute Library and gymnasium. Now those four buildings

420
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 12: that's going to cost about twenty two million dollars. Funding

421
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 12: package that's expected to be approved at the Council's Planning

422

426
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 3: Of rain showers, such sunshowers. Sunshowers, I should say at

427
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 3: the moment, I don't like those. I'd like it to

428
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 3: be pick a sidon, stick.

429
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 12: To it exactly. That's when we've got to take our brawlly,

430
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 12: you know, just in case.

431
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 3: All Right, eighteen minutes away from six still to come.

432
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 3: The incredible surfer shark story out of Australia, which we'll

433
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 3: get to next though Mitch McCann is in the US.

434
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines. Ryan Bridge you for twenty

435
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's

436
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: furniture beds and a playing store. News Talk said be.

437
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 3: Mitch McCann standing by in the US will be with

438
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 3: him in a second. First though, this incredible and bizarre

439
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 3: story out of Australia. So a twenty three year old

440
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 3: surfer is having a great time catching waves. This is

441
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 3: in Port mcquarie, and then a shark attacks and he

442
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 3: tries to fight off the shark. He sort of half

443
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 3: does that, but severs his right leg off completely and

444
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 3: he's bleeding heavily. Amazingly, he manages to catch a wave

445
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,479
Speaker 3: while he's bleeding profusely catches a wave back into the beach.

446
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 3: Retired cop on the beach gets his dog lead, does

447
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 3: a torniquet around the leg, gets him to hospital. Then

448
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 3: this is where it gets really weird. The leg washes

449
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 3: up on a way the leg surfs to the beach,

450
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 3: so he's been rushed to hospital. The people who are

451
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 3: left on the beach see this leg washed up in

452
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 3: the wave and put it on ice and rush that

453
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 3: to the hospital hoping they can reattach it anyway. This

454
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 3: poor guy. He's in a stable condition now, which is

455
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 3: really good. No update on what has happened with the leg,

456
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 3: but some very quick acting members of the public there

457
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,439

Speaker 2: the US. NTNA who was invited the Speaker of the House,

466
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 2: Mike Johnson, and on the plane over to America he

467
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 2: wore a hat with the words total victory emblazoned across

468
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 2: the top of it. And despite that invitation from the Speaker,

469
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 2: at least thirty Democratic lawmakers will not be attending, including

470
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 2: Bernie Sanders, Ryan who described ETNA who as a war criminal,

471
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 2: presiding over an extreme white ring, right winging government and

472
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 2: We've also seen large protests across Washington, DC today, with

473
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 2: an estimated five thousand people taking to the streets.

474
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 3: That's so he's inter provoking them too with that hat.

475
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 3: By the sounds of it, Biden is going to address

476
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 3: the country for the first time about his decision not

477
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 3: to run for reelection.

478
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.

479
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 3: Obviously.

480
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 2: That decision came on the weekend, after weeks of escalating

481
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 2: pressure after that June debate. A social media message he posted,

482
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 2: Joe Biden conceded it was in his parties and the

483
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 2: country's best interests for him not to seek reelection, and

484
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 2: the same message he said he would speak in greater

485
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 2: detail later in the week. Now that's happening today around

486
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 2: two pm New Zealand time. It's taking place in the

487
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 2: Oval Office of the White House. These are rare presidential addresses,

488
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 2: but it's actually the second one he's made in a

489
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 2: couple of weeks. The first one was, of course, after

490
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 2: the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. It's reported that Joe

491
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 2: Biden and a close aid began writing this speech almost

492
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 2: immediately after his decision was made public. As well as

493
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 2: explaining his reasoning, Joe Biden is expected to detail what

494
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 2: his priorities are for the remainder of his term just

495
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 2: a few months.

496
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I guess the other thing, Mitch is he

497
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 3: has to show that he's up to doing the job

498
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 3: through till January. Mitch, thank you very much for your time.

499
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 3: Mitch mccannon, our US correspondent. It's just gone twelve minutes

500
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 3: away from six Ryan Bridge. The government's preparing its response

501
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 3: to the Royal Commission into Abuse in State Care report,

502
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 3: which was released yesterday. You would have heard about this

503
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 3: more than its six hundred thousand in care. Two hundred

504
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 3: thousand were abused. That's one in three. There are one

505
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty eight recommendations in this report, so a

506
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 3: lot to respond to. News talks here be Political editor

507
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 3: Jason Walls is with us this morning. Good morning, Derek

508
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 3: Chang and the Hill did a great peace on this.

509
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 3: Many of these recommendations seem to fly in the face

510
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 3: of the government's policy platform or agenda.

511
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 13: Yes, good morning. There are a number of things that

512
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 13: were recommended in the report that do overlap in some

513
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 13: ways with what the government is doing today in terms

514
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 13: of what its policy agenda is. For example, I mean

515
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 13: a few people have made the point that the abuse

516
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 13: in state care, you know, it outlines a number of

517
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 13: what happens in state care. And then this weekend the

518
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 13: government is launching its military youth academies, which some people

519
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 13: have actually drawn a comparison to, and other things to

520
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 13: do with the Treaty of Waitangi and whatnot. So it's

521
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 13: an interesting piece. I would say that, yes, you can

522
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 13: see why some people might be making these arguments, but

523
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 13: at the same time, I mean arguments around gangs. I

524
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 13: think that it's a hard comparison to make at the

525
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 13: best time there. But in terms of the for example,

526
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 13: this weekend, in terms of the the military academy, I

527
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 13: think the government will be arguing that they'll be using

528
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 13: the report to learn lessons about what happened in the past,

529
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 13: so it can't happen again. They've made the case for

530
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 13: these academies quite clearly, and I don't think because of

531
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 13: the report that they're going to go away. So you

532
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 13: can understand why some people are making these comparisons, and

533
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 13: I do think that that's why some people that were

534
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 13: in the public garalery yesterday yelled shame as Karen Shaw

535
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 13: started talking in the House yesterday during her speech.

536
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw that many gang members were in state here.

537
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 3: Not all of them, and not everyone who was in

538
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 3: state here went on to be a gang member, but

539
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 3: many gang members were in state here. Is it going

540
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 3: to be politically difficult for the government to pay compensation

541
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 3: to people if they are currently in a gang.

542
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 13: I think there are a number of hoops that the

543
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 13: government has to jump through here and it's not going

544
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 13: to be easy by any means. It was hard to

545
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 13: pin the Prime Minister down on this question yesterday in

546
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 13: terms of the financial compensation. Obviously it's going to cost

547
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 13: a lot of money. He didn't have an estimate on

548
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 13: how much, and he said, frankly, it doesn't matter at

549
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 13: this stage. The government was willing to do that. But

550
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 13: the idea of doing that, I mean, I think that

551
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 13: the government will be able to separate the person from

552
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 13: the gang when it comes to the sort of situation

553
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 13: and be able to look at what happened in the

554
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 13: past and be able to move forward in a way.

555
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 3: Jason, thank you for that. Jason Walls News Talks eb's

556
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 3: political editor out of Wellington this morning, just gone nine

557
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 3: minutes away from six still to come. Where you will

558
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 3: look at some new data out of Australia on air fares.

559
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 3: Airfares are falling international affairs. That is you might notice

560
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 3: if you daydream like I do sometimes and go online,

561
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 3: it's cheaper to flighter London than it is to christ Church.

562
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 3: I exaggerate, but you know what I mean. Nine nine

563
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 3: two is the number to text great to have your

564
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,959
Speaker 3: company this morning. We'll be back in just a second.

565
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth

566
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and fis City, New

567
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: Zealand's Furniture Beds and apply Store.

568
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 3: News Talks. Sai'd be six away from six on news

569
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 3: Talk said, being new data out of Australia. This is

570
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 3: about from Flight Center on international prices. Airfares in the

571
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 3: first six months of the year, they were down six percent,

572
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 3: that's the prices of the affairs, and in Australia in

573
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 3: particular they were down double that thirteen percent. International affairs

574
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 3: reduced in the last six months and the volumes went up,

575
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 3: so obviously that compensates for the dropping price for people

576
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 3: like quantas. But it's interesting that people are still traveling

577
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 3: even though we have a cost of living crisis that

578
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 3: Australia has the same cost of living crisis well similar,

579
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 3: and people are still traveling. And we were talking. I

580
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 3: was talking about this yesterday with my partner. We have

581
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 3: friends who are going to Europe in the winter, and

582
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 3: basically you will eat cardboard until you go. You know,

583
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 3: like you spend, You stop going to restaurants, you stop

584
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 3: getting coffees out at the cafe because you know you've

585
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 3: got this holiday coming. So I think people prioritize those

586
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 3: trips over you know, the odd restaurant meal or the

587
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 3: odd coffee out. It's five minutes away from six and

588
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 3: Mike Costing gets next he with us.

589
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 14: Do you know the hardest seek to get on a

590
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 14: plane these days? Business front of the plane really can't

591
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 14: get on because everyone's got well why is every well?

592
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 14: Because rich people still have money. Because if you don't

593
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 14: have debt. I think the thing we've learned out of

594
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 14: all of this, if you don't have debt, then you

595
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 14: find because most people have got a job, and if

596
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 14: you've got a job plus you don't have debt, that's

597
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 14: why you're in Europe in July. See, I could name you,

598
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 14: I could name you, and I don't hang out with

599
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 14: the wealthy people per se, but I could name you. Well,

600
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 14: my daughter's in Tuscany as we speak, at a wine

601
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 14: tasting dinner. She's twenty three years old, So you know,

602
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 14: go figure, and you and I are sitting here working

603
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 14: out exactly Lester leave you this morning for you Lester

604
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 14: live in that what's interesting about this whole health thing

605
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 14: is there is an accusation Will suggesting this morning that

606
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 14: this blowout one hundred and thirty million dollars a month

607
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 14: is largely due to the fact that they've been fan

608
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 14: fantastically successful in hiring nurses. So the impression you got

609
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 14: from Shane Retty the other day is out of nowhere,

610
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 14: it's a billion dollars plus a year, and oh my god,

611
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 14: we didn't see this coming and what a disaster and

612
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 14: what we're going to have to do about it. So

613
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 14: we'll sack the board and put Lester in. But the

614
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 14: new suggestion is that they went to recruit all the

615
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 14: nurses which we need, which is frontline as opposed to

616
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 14: back office, and they got so many nurses and they

617
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 14: have to pay these people, of course, and all of

618
