A big 57 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 2: day or a big evening, i should say. In France, 58 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 2: the first exit poll from the election is expected around 59 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 2: six o'clock this morning, so Andrew will have details for 60 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 2: you on that. We'll also speak to Gavin Gray, who'll 61 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 2: be live at about quarter to six. The highest turnout, 62 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 2: this is what we can tell you so far. The 63 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 2: highest turnout in decades since nineteen eighty one, and they 64 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 2: are still voting, so it's going to be a whopper. 65 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 2: We will find out, of course, just how far right 66 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 2: they have gone. Will the far right National Rally take 67 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 2: over the government. The majority they need is two hundred 68 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 2: and eighty nine. There are five hundred and one seats 69 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 2: in parliament in the French parliament now seventy six of 70 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 2: those have already been decided in the first round of voting. 71 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 2: But the big swing to Lipen's National Rally in the 72 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 2: first round of voting to thirty three point four percent, 73 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 2: that could change because a couple of other things have changed. 74 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 2: Think the main thing that has changed is that people 75 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 2: pulled out, So two hundred candidates are pulled out, meaning 76 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 2: there are fewer three way races. And there's another word 77 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 2: that the French use for a freeway, which I won't 78 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 2: mention on radio because it's just entirely inappropriate. What they're 79 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 2: trying to do this is the center and the left. 80 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 2: They are trying to run an anti far right campaign. 81 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 2: What they don't know, and what we don't know yet 82 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 2: is just how many people will actually vote accordingly. So 83 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 2: for this to work, you would have to get many 84 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 2: centrist voters to vote for far left candidates. Do they 85 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 2: want to do that? You would need to get many 86 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 2: lefties voting for centrist candidates a Macrons or Macron's party. 87 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 2: So will that actually happen? Will it play out as they, 88 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 2: you know, intend it to the sort of strategy that 89 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 2: they're running with pulling candidates out. We will find out. 90 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 2: We're going to talk to Gavin Gray as they say 91 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 2: it's a five forty four this morning. The other big question, 92 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 2: of course, is what happens if they don't get a majority. 93 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 2: How do they govern? What does that look like? We 94 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,119 Speaker 2: will find out. The time now is eleven after five. 95 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,119 Speaker 1: The First Word on the News of the Day Early 96 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture 97 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: Beds and a play at store News Talk ZIB. 98 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 2: Good morning, it is thirteen after five.

Though 106 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 2: new grocery data from Infometrics and food stuff costs from 107 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,239 Speaker 2: supplies to supermarkets rose by two point seven percent in June. 108 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 2: Costs in all departments rupped this year compared to last year, 109 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 2: and around two thousand items increased in price between May 110 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 2: and June. Johnny VNAs And for Metrics, Chief forecast Gareth Cannon, Gareth, 111 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 2: good morning. Forgive me, Gareth, I've got to turn you 112 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 2: on myself. Gareth, Gareth, good morning. 113 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 4: Right, yeah, yeah, keeping comms on the first day. 114 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry about that. Good to have you on the show. 115 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 2: So tell me why is this still going up? 116 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 4: There are still a few pressures coming in from overseas 117 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 4: which have affected things in the last month. We're still 118 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 4: seeing higher prices for cooking oil, coffee, chocolate, those sort 119 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 4: of things. And there are also a few higher produce prices, 120 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 4: a few fruit rising and price this month as well. 121 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 4: But I guess the key trend is, Look, we're not 122 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 4: seeing the same extended price rises that we're getting eighteen 123 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 4: months ago when the index was up more than ten 124 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 4: percent on a year ago. So coming it's been moderating 125 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 4: over the last twelve months or so, and we're continuing 126 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 4: to see that trend happening. 127 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 2: Is that coming down at a steady pace or is 128 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 2: that are you seeing a sort of a reacceleration of 129 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 2: some of these items. 130 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 4: There's a few individual items in there, but the overall 131 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 4: in that can it continuing to come down in a 132 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 4: fairly steady case, it's still sitting. I guess the growth 133 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 4: rate is above what we saw pre COVID, where prices 134 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 4: or costs were rising it you know, sort of one 135 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 4: to two percent prandom. So we're hoping for more moderation 136 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 4: to be coming through, but there are still a few 137 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 4: little bits of sort of stickiness and in terms of 138 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 4: some of those prices. 139 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 2: Yet, how important are these prices for the prices that 140 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 2: we pay at the supermarket? 141 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, there are a significant component, of course of what 142 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 4: ends up the cost coming through you in terms of 143 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 4: what you're paying at supermarket. They're not everything. Labor costs 144 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 4: and you know, commercial rent costs and electricity all those 145 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 4: sort of things also feed through into the costs that 146 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 4: supermarkets face and therefore the price that they charge you 147 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 4: as well. 148 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 2: Do you have any indication, I mean, are you are 149 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 2: you able to take these numbers and put them into 150 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 2: a ansigraph and then work out when this will actually 151 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 2: start coming down, you know, or perhaps even turn the 152 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 2: other way and go negative. 153 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, we're not expecting it to go negative. I guess 154 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 4: what we've seen across the whole economy is that what 155 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 4: we've had over the last two or three years through 156 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 4: the pandemic and the sort of aftermath of that, is 157 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,559 Speaker 4: that you've almost had a step up in the level 158 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 4: of prices overall, and I think food prices are not 159 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 4: immune to that either. We are expecting now, I guess 160 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 4: over the rest of the course of this year and 161 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 4: into early twenty twenty five that the sort of last 162 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 4: little bits of inflation that are still causing problems in 163 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 4: the system, that they will sort of be weeded out 164 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 4: and you will get price growth back to what we 165 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 4: were used to prior to COVID. 166 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 2: Gath, thank you very much for your time this morning. 167 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 2: Great to have you on the program. Sixteen minutes after 168 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 2: find that was Gareth Kennan infameatric's chief forecaster, Bryan Bridge, 169 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 2: Joe Biden.

There aren't enough marbles left to be 174 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 2: president with the. 175 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 5: COVID, I should be with dealing with everything we have 176 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 5: to do with. Look if we finally beat medicare. 177 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, so look here's a fact. My grandmother is eighty 178 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,719 Speaker 2: seven years old. Biden is eighty one. My grandmother just 179 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 2: delivered a beautiful speech at a wedding, my wedding, in 180 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 2: your wedding, at my wedding a week ago. So it's 181 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 2: not an age thing, you know, it's a it's a 182 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 2: competency thing. And there are new reports this morning about 183 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 2: doctors visiting the White House. There's a top neurologist. This 184 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 2: is a new report from the New York Post who 185 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:54,239 Speaker 2: visited in January. Also, now reporters starting to pick apart 186 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 2: Biden's excuses as to why he performed so poorly during 187 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 2: the debate with Trump last week. He said, remember he said, 188 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 2: sort of off the cuff, I had a cold. I 189 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 2: had a cold. And so what the CNN reporters did, 190 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 2: quite rightly was go to the White House doctor and say, 191 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 2: did Biden go to you at this time and say 192 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 2: I had a cold, and the answer was no. He 193 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 2: went to tell them he had a cold a couple 194 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 2: of days after the debate. Convenient timing. It's interesting, isn't it, 195 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 2: Because you know there are others who were lining up 196 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 2: who want to one day be the leader of the 197 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 2: Democratic Party and be the leader of the free world. 198 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 2: And one of those people, undoubtedly is the California Governor 199 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsoon, though that's highly unlikely this time around. You 200 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 2: would have to say. Anyway, he was asked at the 201 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 2: weekend if he would run if there was an open convention. 202 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 2: Have he listened to his answer, you help the convention, 203 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 2: will you run? No, It's not even that's ninety minutes. 204 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 6: To me, it's the hypothetical that gets in the way 205 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 6: of progress in terms of promoting this candidacy. And I 206 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 6: think it's exactly where Trump and everyone that's a legit question, 207 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 6: but it's exactly where the other party as to be 208 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 6: is having this internal fate. 209 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 2: And I think it's extraordinarily unhelpful. Yeah. So, in other words, 210 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 2: not saying that no, he wouldn't put his hand up 211 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 2: or throw his hat in the ring, But the other 212 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 2: thing he had to take into account. So there are 213 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 2: now five Democrats are calling on him to step aside, 214 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 2: but for the rest of them, like Newsome, at some point, 215 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 2: You're going to start to look a little bit stupid, 216 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 2: aren't you. I mean, I mean, when public opinion is 217 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 2: turning against Biden, and when it's turning against his competency 218 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 2: to be able to run the free world, and you're 219 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 2: not on side with that public opinion, how long can 220 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 2: you maintain that? 221 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines, Ryan Bridge, you for twenty 222 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's 223 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 1: furniture beds and a planet store. 224 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 2: News Talk said, be welcome back, good to have you. 225 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 2: Andrew Ordison's he was sport good morning, welcome in, thank you, 226 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 2: It's good to be here. It's very good to be here. 227 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 2: I'll bet it is. I'm a little bit nervous. I 228 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 2: guess perhaps in the same way Razor would have been 229 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 2: before the All Blacks test on Saturday nights. 230 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 7: I think so, yeah, certainly a valid comparison there, Scott Robinson. 231 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 7: I mean, I don't know if you saw Arthur's but 232 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 7: the candor demonstrated by Robertson in the aftermatch chat was 233 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 7: just was pretty entertaining in itself, but getting home sixteen 234 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 7: fifteen just in some nervous moments too, I think just 235 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 7: with the nature of that English performance. They were pretty tenacious, 236 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 7: they offered plenty of grit and yeah, he was his 237 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 7: word as self. He was relieved. So yeah, espepose of 238 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 7: the nerves too with Damien McKenzie with that penalty being 239 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 7: called off two minutes from time for taking too long 240 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 7: to kick it, and then still the English venturing into 241 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 7: the New Zealand, it would have been some nursy and 242 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 7: it was just I mean, part of the sideline was 243 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 7: watching Robertson actually react in the box. 244 00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 2: Lilison is at Wimbledon. 245 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 7: She is now, she is one set to love up 246 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 7: against Emmeratikara. Don't want to alarm anyone just yet, but 247 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 7: she is getting close to becoming a quarter finalist at 248 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 7: the Wimbledon Championships. The last news he wanted to make 249 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 7: the quarter final of any Grand Slam Blinda corbyll in 250 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 7: ninety eighty nine at the Australian Open, who went on 251 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 7: to make the semi finals. But soon is just showing 252 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 7: some tremendous showing there. It's three all in the second Withroicado, 253 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 7: but she has won the first set, so outstanding display. 254 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 2: Fantastic and Lewis Hamilton just cleaning up. 255 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 7: Lewis Hamilton back in the action at Silverston, the British 256 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 7: Grand Prix. He's won that race the ninth. 257 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 2: Time he's done so. 258 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 7: He hasn't been on the podie hasn't won a race, 259 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 7: I don't think since twenty twenty one, something of that nature. 260 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 7: And beating current champion Max for STARp and out of 261 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 7: the glory there. So tremendous performance from Hamilton getting back 262 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 7: into the reckoning for Mercedes final time. He'll be driving 263 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 7: for Mercedes to win them. 264 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 2: And what about Liam Lawson this sort of talk of promotional. 265 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, this is an amazing scenario for Lawson. He potentially 266 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 7: is going to get the drive for Red Bull, the 267 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 7: Racing Bull's sister syndicate there with Red Bull, he's going 268 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 7: to have two hundred k's. It will be about thirty 269 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 7: four laps at Silverston to test out after the Scrand 270 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 7: Prix and then they may do a shuffle depending on 271 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 7: how he goes with that test drive, whether they push 272 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 7: out Sujo Perez who's with Vestav at the moment, they 273 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 7: might move Riccardo up or Sonoda into that second seat 274 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 7: with the starpin, or he takes the seat of Riccardo. 275 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 2: So he's been there for a year. 276 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 7: Ricardo hasn't done an awful lot, so Lawson twenty two 277 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 7: years old. Ryan, his career is on a tremendous trajectory. 278 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 2: Pretty cool, isn't it, Andreewlison, Thank you very much for 279 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 2: your time. That sport this morning. Coming up next it's 280 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 2: d Day for Green MP Darlene Tannum. More on that 281 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 2: in a second, separating the fact from the fiction. 282 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: Kid's Filling edition with Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds 283 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: and Appliant Store Newstalg ZB. 284 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 2: Welcome back to Newstalk ZB with me Ryan Bridge. Great 285 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 2: to be with you, twenty seven minutes after five. Yes, 286 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 2: I am getting your text and I really appreciate them. 287 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 2: Thank you. Right, let's talk about the ocr It is 288 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 2: the elephant in the room at the moment for many people. 289 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 2: If you are I don't want to stay unfortunate enough 290 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 2: to have a mortgage, but if you have a mortgage. 291 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 2: Here it is is Adrian or walking in the same 292 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 2: streets that we are walking in the real economy is battling. 293 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 2: They are not happy streets at the moment. I met 294 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 2: a retailer the other day who hadn't sold a single 295 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 2: thing in a week. Can you imagine being a retailer 296 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 2: sitting in a shop, not just for one day, for 297 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 2: half a day, but actually not selling anything for an 298 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 2: entire week. The NZDII quarterly survey was out the net 299 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 2: twenty five percent of firms cutting their head count, highest 300 00:15:55,720 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 2: proportion since the GFC. We've got people hurting, and we've 301 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 2: got the asben Ou predicting we need a cut this year. 302 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 2: We've got ben Z's Stephen Topless saying the latest Darter 303 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 2: quote screams that rates need to be cut sooner. And 304 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 2: we've got adriane Or stubbornly saying no, no, we have 305 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 2: to wait till we get down to two percent. And 306 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 2: of course that's his job. I mean, it's to get 307 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 2: it between one and three percent. And he said that 308 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 2: two is the target, and inflation has slowed, but it's 309 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 2: still sitting at four percent, which is too high. Right, 310 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 2: So adriane Or will be nervous to cut the rates 311 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 2: too soon and risk keeping inflation fires burning. He arguably 312 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 2: helped light the fires in the first place by pumping 313 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 2: cash in during COVID and you don't want to be 314 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 2: the guy accused of helping start fire that you then 315 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 2: fail to properly put out. So I can see why 316 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 2: he's taking the track that he is. It's basically his job. 317 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 2: But boy does it feel hard to swallow that at 318 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 2: the moment. The time is twenty nine minutes after five, 319 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge, Green MP, Darlene Taner, here is some a 320 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 2: couple of numbers to throw at you this morning.

That is half of her political career. Yeah, 323 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 2: half her political career. One hundred and sixty eight thousand dollars. 324 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 2: That's her salary. Forty thousand that's the number of dollars 325 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 2: that she's earned while on suspension. Zero the amount of 326 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 2: detail we've got from Chloe and co. On what exactly 327 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 2: that investigation has found. But today is d Day, apparently 328 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 2: we will get answers on Darlene Tanna. 329 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 1: News and Views you trust to start your days early 330 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture 331 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 1: Beds and a Playing Store. 332 00:17:55,400 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 2: News talk said be twenty four minutes away from six o'clock. 333 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 2: You'll listen the Newstalks. They'd be with me, Ryan Bridge, 334 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 2: Great to have you with me, speaking of slowing things down. Consultation. 335 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 2: Who loves that? No one ever loves consultation. But the 336 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 2: government's doing more of it. Simeon Brown actually put an 337 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 2: email yesterday to National Party supporters. Someone forwarded that to me, 338 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 2: and this is about reversing the blanket ban on the 339 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 2: speed limits, that whole thing. Didn't we just vote them in? 340 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 2: Can't they just do it? Do? We need to consult 341 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,199 Speaker 2: people about everything every time we want to do something, 342 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 2: surveys and submissions and all that kind. It used to 343 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 2: infuriate me when the council would build these dumb cycle ways. 344 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 2: And I'm not an anti cycleway person. In every instance 345 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 2: there are good cycle ways and bad cycle ways, but 346 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 2: when they do dumb ones and spend millions of dollars 347 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 2: and there's nobody on them, it's very frustrating. And then 348 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 2: they would turn around and they would say to you, 349 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 2: that's what the community he wanted. Really did they who 350 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 2: exactly are you referring to there? And they'll say on 351 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 2: ninety percent of people who responded to our survey said 352 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 2: they support a safer cycle way. Okay, did you tell 353 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 2: them that that cycle way would come at the cost 354 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 2: of ten car parks and their local dairy and florist. 355 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 2: You know how much context did you put around this 356 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 2: question that you were asking? So anyway, there's consultation going 357 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 2: out this week, I should say on the reversing the 358 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 2: blanket band for speed limits which Labor brought in sim 359 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 2: and Brown emailing his supporters to say submit this way. 360 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 2: Apparently the Greens emailing their supporters to say submit that way. 361 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 2: How useful is it really? I asked. It's twenty two 362 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 2: away from six m Bridge and we're going to christ 363 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 2: Church now with Claire Sherwood, who's with us this morning? Clear, 364 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning. What's happening? 365 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 8: Well, this is an interesting story. There's been a christ 366 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 8: Rich barber who's had this big dream Ryan of opening 367 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 8: a mini adult amusement park. Unfortunately though, that has fallen 368 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 8: by the wayside. So Beny's barbershop owner Ben Scott had 369 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 8: been planning to turn an eighteen hundred square meter hangar 370 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 8: in Wigram into this center of fun for all ages. 371 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 8: But despite construction being about eighty percent complete. Both of 372 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 8: his businesses have now gone into liquidation. He did try 373 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 8: to crowdfund to meet the bills that were due, but 374 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 8: that failed to hit its goal. On the Facebook page 375 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 8: over the weekend, Scott confirmed the barbershop will continue operating 376 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 8: business as usual under some new management and he will 377 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 8: be an employee. He says a lot of learning has 378 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 8: come from it. He acknowledges he gave it as all, 379 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 8: but he did come up short. 380 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 2: It sounds like how's the weather today, Claire Frosty. 381 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 8: Out there to start, but will clear to a fine day, 382 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 8: some light winds.

The National Rally Party, 480 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 12: the far right party got one in three of the 481 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,400 Speaker 12: votes of the first round last week. But since then 482 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,959 Speaker 12: the left wing and centrist parties have got together to 483 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 12: try and basically some of them stand down in order 484 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 12: to hope that their supporters will then support the other 485 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 12: left wing or centrist candidates to freeze out the far right. 486 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 12: The question is will it work. The tempers have been 487 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 12: frayed over the last week with dozens of reports of 488 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 12: verbal and physical assaults of both candidates and activists and 489 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 12: those putting up posters and so forth. So lots of 490 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 12: police as on the street, thirty thousand police deployed, five 491 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 12: thousand of them in Paris alone. Things very very tense there, 492 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,679 Speaker 12: so obviously we'll need to keep up to date with that. 493 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 12: Here in the UK we've just had our election, of course, 494 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 12: and already the new Prime Minister, Sakirstana visiting the Four Nations, 495 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,439 Speaker 12: so going currently up in Scotland, going to Northern Ireland 496 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 12: and to Wales as well, trying to sort of, as 497 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 12: it were, seal the deal and to show the irrespective 498 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 12: leaders of those different places that he is looking for 499 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 12: a conversation and support and co operation very quickly. 500 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 2: What is wrong with a kiss? This French cyclist has 501 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 2: been fine. 502 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 12: Ah yeah, what a good question. So this is referring 503 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 12: to the Tour de France. There was a time trial 504 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 12: when one of the riders, a French cyclist, was quite 505 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 12: cycling quite near his home and out pop supporters and 506 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 12: his wife, and it was a time trial if it 507 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 12: just stopped briefly to kiss his wife. And he's been 508 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 12: fined two hundred Swiss francs roughly three hundred and eighty 509 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 12: New Zealand dollars for the privilege, saying that the sports 510 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 12: governing body said it was unseemly or inappropriate behavior during 511 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 12: the race and damage to the image of the sport. 512 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 12: Who'd have thought it ran? 513 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 2: It's a lot of money.

Bryan Bridge right. 515 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 2: It has just gone now twelve minutes away from six 516 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 2: o'clock and it's looking more likely the fast tracked roads 517 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 2: of national significance are going to be told. Procurement and 518 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 2: construction will start in the next three years, but time 519 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 2: frames and costs are still not yet known. So what 520 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 2: does it mean for our freight and transport companies joining 521 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,880 Speaker 2: me now? Is Transporting New Zealand Interim Chief Executive Dom Calasi, Dom, 522 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 2: Welcome to the show. What do you make of this? 523 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 2: The fact that, I mean, we always knew that there 524 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,400 Speaker 2: was going to be tolls? Right? Does this surprise you. 525 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 3: Morning, Ryan? Well, successly. Absolutely, it doesn't surprise us. It's 526 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 3: been signaled for a long time. 527 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 2: And how do you feel about it? You'd rather the 528 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 2: roads would get built, presumably. 529 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 3: Absolutely, Look the efficient movement afraid it's essential and is 530 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 3: connecting communities, which allows people to connect. And we are 531 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 3: in a bit of a hole at the moment. 532 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 9: You know. 533 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 3: The AAS reckons that the cost of congestion and ortment 534 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 3: alone is over a billion dollars and our current routing 535 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 3: system simply can't cope and we need to do something 536 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 3: about it sooner rather than later. And there's clear evidence 537 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 3: that Tolan can help there. 538 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 2: There's a whole list of expressways and motorways and we 539 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 2: won't go through them all, but belfast to Pegasus for example, 540 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 2: the hawks By Expressway. You've got Walkworth to Wellsford. Do 541 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 2: you guys have a priority list? 542 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,959 Speaker 3: We think the list that has been provided is actually 543 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 3: pretty good. You know, there's always going to be more 544 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 3: than what can be done at any good time, but 545 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 3: we can that list is pretty good. 546 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 2: Do you have a preference in terms of order? Because 547 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 2: from what I have read, from what the minister's statement, 548 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 2: it sounds like they're going to try and do them 549 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 2: all at once. 550 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 3: Oh right, sorry, Now, I think doing them in parallel 551 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 3: is the way to do it. 552 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 2: Why is that. 553 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 3: Because given all the parts, construction and consenting, it's all 554 00:29:55,680 --> 00:30:00,080 Speaker 3: a complex approach, right, And if you only did one 555 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 3: at a time, right, then it's going to actually take 556 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 3: much longer to deliver them all than doing them in parallel. 557 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 2: How much do you think Let's assume let's look into 558 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 2: the future and think of a beautiful world where all 559 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 2: of these projects have been completed. How much more efficient 560 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 2: would we be would you be? 561 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 9: Oh? 562 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 3: Sorry, I haven't done the math on it, but it 563 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 3: would be significant. I mean, just off the top of 564 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 3: my head, right, in a lot of those areas, there 565 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 3: will be not just hours, but tens of hours every 566 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 3: year saved for truckers, right, And if you talk a 567 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 3: rough number of say two hundred to two hundred and 568 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 3: fifty dollars an hour, that's what truck and cough right, 569 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 3: then you're talking about millions of dollars. 570 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 2: Don thanks very much for your time. That's done, CLASSI. 571 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 2: He's the Transport of New Zealand Interim Chief Executive talking 572 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 2: about the word there that and then the Minister hasn't said, 573 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 2: just so that we're clear, every single road of national 574 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 2: significance that's been fast tracked will be told. He's just 575 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 2: saying the government is very open to it and if 576 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 2: NZTA recommends it, then basically they'll they'll do it. And 577 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 2: wouldn't you rather have some wouldn't you rather have a decent, safe, 578 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 2: quick road to drive on? I suppose it's the question. 579 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 2: It is eight minutes away from six. 580 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge, New for twenty twenty four on early edition 581 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and a playing 582 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: store news dog Zidby. 583 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 2: Good morning, Welcome to your Monday.
