Speaker 1: The issues, the interviews and the inside. Ryan Bridge new

2
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty four on the early edition with Smith City,

3
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: New Zealand's furniture beds and a play at store.

4
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 2: News Talk said, be good morning, it is six half

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 2: to five year on, news Talk said, b I'm Ryan Bridge.

6
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: Welcome to your Wednesday Trade's. If you're on your way

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: to work, stay tuned. I've got a question for you

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: in a few seconds, and I really would like your

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 2: answers to it. I mean normally when I ask questions,

10
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 2: I do want your answers to it. I'm not just

11
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 2: saying that right this morning, we have some new news

12
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 2: for you. The government has released its emissions reduction plan,

13
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 2: so I'm just basically going to run through some bullet

14
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 2: points with you in a second what it actually means.

15
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: One of the big things they're looking at is planting

16
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 2: more trees. And remember they promised to plant a billion trees.

17
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: Remember that was Shane Jones Ittel. I checked this morning.

18
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 2: They've got a tracker and they can tell you how

19
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 2: many trees I've planted so far, six hundred and twenty

20
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: seven million, so not too bad actually, but they want

21
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: to plant seventeen thousand hectares of natives and exotics and

22
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: that's going to save our planet from burning. Apparently, we'll

23
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 2: have more on that shortly the tradees. I'll get to

24
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 2: you in a second with the question. Also will have

25
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: the inflation prediction from an z just before six this morning.

26
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: Right now it's seven after five the agenda and it's Wednesday,

27
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: seventeenth of July. That new projection of the government's climate

28
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: targets has been released at five this morning, revealing New

29
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: Zealand will likely miss its third emissions budget from twenty

30
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: thirty one to twenty thirty five, overshooting by seventeen million tons.

31
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: Estimates release last year showed the country on course to

32
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: hit all of its targets for all of its budgets,

33
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: which paved the way to net zero by twenty fifty. However,

34
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 2: the new government has since beenned many labor error policies,

35
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: including efforts to decarbonize heavy industry and subsidize clean cars.

36
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: Will have more on this in a second. The bullet

37
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: points plus Michael speak to the minister. At six thirty

38
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: five this morning, Former Green MP Darling Tana says she

39
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: was about to allow the release of a month's long

40
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: investigation to migrate exploitation allegations against her before it was

41
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 2: partially leaked. She's resigned as a Green member, but not

42
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: from parliament. She told Run News she'd give her approval

43
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: to release the report, but says it now feels redundant. Well,

44
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 2: I was about to give my approval to let it

45
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: go and then the report was linked leaked. Gosh, just

46
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: go away. Tanna says if she hasn't decided whether she'll

47
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 2: resign from parliament by Sunday, she'll likely be back sitting

48
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: on Tuesday. The number of house fires is up. AMI

49
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: Insurance data shows between summer and winter last year, there

50
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: was a twenty percent jump in fires from the year before.

51
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: The most common cause was unattended stovetops or ovens, followed

52
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 2: by clogged chimneys. AMI claims exit kit of General manager

53
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: Wayne Tippetts says it's important to take every preventative step possible.

54
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 3: One of the other important things for people to really

55
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 3: think about is getting out of harm's way.

56
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 4: That's what Fire Brigade.

57
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 5: Is there for.

58
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth

59
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City New

60
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: Zealand's furniture beds and a plan store.

61
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: News Talk said they just gone nine after five. So

62
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 2: this is James Shaw's baby. This is the baby that

63
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 2: he birthed that we're now having to that the current

64
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: government is now having to update us on. It's the

65
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: emissions reduction Plan, so they have to release a plan

66
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 2: for how they're going to meet the emission's targets to

67
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: get to net zero by twenty fifty and at five

68
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: o'clock this morning they have released their first one and

69
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: it basically shows that we're not going to meet the

70
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: all of the targets that we were on track to meet.

71
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: We're going to overshoot by seventeen million tons of emissions

72
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: for the twenty thirty one to twenty thirty five budget.

73
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 2: That's the third budget. We're still on track to meet

74
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: the first two, and this budget actually only applies to

75
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: the second one, so by that measure, we're actually probably

76
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: doing okay, and there's still time to save the third one, presumably.

77
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 2: So they're basically relying that they've announced a whole bunch

78
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: of things already, like ten thousand more ev charges by

79
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 2: twenty thirty. We know about that. There's the city rail link,

80
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 2: we know about that, the carbon Catcher investigation. We know

81
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: about that. The news stuff is planting trees, which doesn't

82
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 2: actually sound that new given that remember we were planting

83
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: a billion trees anyway, and we're up to about six

84
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: hundred odd million anyway. They want to plant seven and

85
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 2: a half thousand hectares of native trees from twenty twenty

86
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 2: eight and ten thousand hectares of exotic trees from twenty

87
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: twenty seven, and they want the help of private investment

88
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: to plant trees on crown land. Now this is crown

89
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 2: land which isn't valuable, say for farming or for conservation,

90
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 2: so we'll have to wait and see how that goes down.

91
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 2: There are no policy commitments or plans when it comes

92
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 2: to the ETS. This is according to news Talk zb's

93
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: newsroom and the ETS they are relying heavily on to

94
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 2: get through these budgets. So we'll have more reaction to

95
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 2: that throughout the program. But also with the Minister at

96
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 2: six thirty five with Mike Costing this morning, now very

97
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 2: quickly insulation. The Minister is looking at a urgent investigation

98
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: into our insulation standards in New Zealand. I've got a

99
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 2: question for you, if you're a builder if you're a trader,

100
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: if you're an insulation expert, please text me nine two

101
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: nine two this morning and let me know. Are our

102
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 2: requirements to insulate new homes too stringent? The Minister reckons

103
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: they are. This is Chris Penk. He says that the

104
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 2: requirements for a full bedroom house would add about forty

105
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: to fifty thousand dollars to the cost of a new home,

106
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 2: and often they are overheating homes, so they're leading to

107
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 2: overheating issues and basically they are too cumbersome and over

108
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 2: the top and he wants them pulled back. The Ministry

109
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 2: reckons that the cost increase is only two point eight percent.

110
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: So who's right? Does it cost that much to insulate

111
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 2: a house to keep up with these standards and is

112
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 2: it causing? Are they causing overheating issues? Nine two ninety

113
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: two is the numbered text. We'll be back talking farmac

114
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 2: in just a second.

115
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines. Ryan Bridge you for twenty

116
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's

117
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: furniture Beds and a player store News Talks'd be.

118
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 2: Just got a quarter past five. The Associate Health Minister

119
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 2: David Seymour has released his Letter of Expectations for FARMAC

120
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 2: Following a significant funding boost, the drug buying agency has

121
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 2: been told it needs to deliver improved health outcomes underpinned

122
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: by robust data and evidence. Seymour has also told FARMAC

123
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 2: to hold the embedding of tententity or white hanging and

124
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: its decision making.

125
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 6: If at different New Zealands differently based on whether or

126
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 6: not they had an ancestor who was LURI, then we

127
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 6: want nothing to do with it.

128
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 2: Malcolm R. Holland is the chair of the Patient Voice

129
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: out Set our group and joins me. Now, Malcolm, welcome

130
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 2: to the program. First of all, this treaty exclusion does

131
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: that bother you?

132
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 4: No, it doesn't. There was never any evidence that by

133
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 4: having treaty provisions within pharmac's decision making process that led

134
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 4: to MARDI access in more medicines. It was very unclear

135
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 4: as to how it was being used, so it made

136
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 4: from our perspective, no material difference.

137
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: Apart from that, what is new in this What gives

138
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 2: you hope that this is going to lead to actual change?

139
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 4: It is a number of things, probably in particular is

140
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 4: around looking at pharmic statutory objectives. So whether or not

141
00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 4: they need to retain reference to PHARMAC having a mylefic

142
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 4: process if you like, on cost containment, looking at the

143
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 4: Health Technology Assessment process in for FARMAIC to consider some

144
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 4: of the savings that can occur within the health system

145
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 4: and to the wider taxpayer as they found a particular medicine,

146
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 4: and also looking at the separation of roles between FARMI

147
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 4: is a procurement agency as well as the Health Technology

148
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 4: Assessment agency as well.

149
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 2: Okay, so there's stuff in there that gives you a

150
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: bit of hope. How do you think FARMAC will respond

151
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: to this? Do you think that they're up to the job.

152
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 4: Well, it was interesting being there yesterday. Certainly, the conversations

153
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 4: that we had with FARMA staff, they seemed overall positive.

154
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 4: You know, I believe there was a bit of reluctance

155
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 4: around the TI aspect of the leader of expectations, but

156
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 4: overall I think they know that change is happening and

157
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 4: that it needs to happen.

158
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 2: Malcolm R. Holland's Patient Advocate, thank you very much for

159
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: your time this morning, Chair of Patient Voice out at Eye.

160
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: It's just gone seventeen minutes after fire clock. Very quickly,

161
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 2: I'll update you on Thomas crooks. This is the guy

162
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 2: who was shot by a local police after firing at

163
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 2: US former US President Donald Trump. They've outlined the forty

164
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 2: eight hours before the shooting happened, he went to a

165
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 2: home depot, he bought a five foot ladder, he went

166
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 2: to a gun store, he got fifty rounds of AMMO,

167
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 2: and then he drove his Shondai Sonata up an hour

168
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 2: north to Trump's rally. However, we are now for more

169
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 2: than two days, three days even after the shooting, and

170
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 2: they still have no idea what his motive was. They've

171
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 2: gone through his phone, they've gone through his computer, they've

172
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 2: gone through his search history and his bedroom. They've spoken

173
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 2: to his friends, and there is nothing, according to law

174
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 2: enforcement sources. It's told CNN this morning, nothing that indicates

175
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 2: why he did it.

176
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: Back in a second on your radio and online on

177
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New

178
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: Zealand's footge Beds and a plying store.

179
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 2: News Talk said, be just gone five, just gone five

180
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 2: twenty and the Minister, the building Minister is looking at

181
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 2: an investigation into whether our insulation standards are too stringent.

182
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 2: Lots of you getting in touch this morning on this one.

183
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 2: A lot of you saying here is correct. We manufacture

184
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 2: our aluminium joinery. This is from Nick. Under the new

185
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: H one rules, the joinery specification costs fifty percent more.

186
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 2: And that's before you take into account the additional insulation

187
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: that you need, the thicker insulation and the fact you

188
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: have to change the roof design to fit all of

189
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 2: this extra stuff. In Nick reckons it would add ten

190
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 2: percent to the cost of a four bedroom house a

191
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 2: new build, which is massive. More texts on that in

192
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: the second just gone twenty one after five right road

193
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: safety warning signs for fixed speed cameras are set to

194
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 2: be rolled out across the country. The government hopes the

195
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: move will allow key where's the opportunity to check their

196
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: speed in high crash areas to avoid tickets and accidents.

197
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 2: The rollout will take place as n ZTA takes over

198
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 2: managing speed cameras from police. The warning signs are already

199
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 2: going up and the AA Road Safety spokesperson Dylan Thompson

200
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 2: is with me now, Dylan, good morning. Do these signs work?

201
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 2: Do we? Presumably they do. We slow down when we

202
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 2: see them.

203
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 6: Good morning, Ryan. We expect to see a big reduction

204
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 6: in tickets at these sites when the signs are rolled out,

205
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 6: which means obviously that we have less people exceeding the

206
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 6: speed limit at those high risk locations. So in our view,

207
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 6: this is a really good thing and has been a

208
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 6: long time coming. We're really pleased to see these signs

209
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 6: finally happening.

210
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 2: Okay, but that's assuming that all of the cameras are

211
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: in high risk locations. And it used to bug me

212
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 2: going to Wellington driving down not on a gorge and

213
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 2: you know you're going downhill, so everyone speeds a little bit,

214
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 2: But is it a higher crash area? Are the cameras

215
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 2: and high crash areas they.

216
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 6: Go through A pro is to establish where the cameras

217
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 6: are going to go, and in the past has been

218
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 6: involved with that, so they definitely have looked to find

219
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 6: either locations with a history of crashes involving speed or

220
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 6: areas where there's a lot of people traveling at the

221
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 6: speed limit. No longer Gorge, I know it very well.

222
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 6: I think one of the things people forget there is

223
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 6: at more peak times, especially when you're coming downhill, there

224
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 6: can be tailbacks of traffic that come and and a

225
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 6: fuel going down there faster than eighty and it's a

226
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 6: bit wet or something like that, and you come around

227
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 6: the bend and there's suddenly a line of cars stopped

228
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 6: in front of you. There is a lot of risk there.

229
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 6: But hopefully the signs when they go up are going

230
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 6: to help people going down now along the gorge to

231
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 6: remind them that there's a camera there, check their speed,

232
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 6: slow down, get a lot of the risk.

233
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: Doll then't how far are the cameras from the signs?

234
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: In other words, how long do you have to slow

235
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 2: down to slow down of your Not that I'm saying

236
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 2: you should speed or that people do.

237
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 6: But it's going to vary a little bit depending on

238
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 6: the environment, you know, so they'll have to adjust the

239
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 6: signs depending on roads and intersections and what's around. But

240
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 6: we're probably looking somewhere around two hundred meters either side

241
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 6: as a ballpark figure. And I think just one other

242
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 6: thing that's really important is because I hear people talk

243
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 6: about our drivers will just drive above the speed limit.

244
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 6: They see one of these signs, they're not slow down,

245
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 6: and then speed up again. There is definitely a certain

246
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 6: group of people who just try to drive as fast

247
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 6: as they can above the speed limit. I would say

248
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 6: those drivers already have a pretty good idea where the

249
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 6: cameras are. What these are going to help us the

250
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 6: large bulk of people who aren't trying to break the

251
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 6: speed limit. They're good drivers, they're trying to follow the rules.

252
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 6: Maybe they're just a bit distracted, Maybe they just have

253
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 6: let their speed creep up. And it gives those people

254
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 6: chance to just a little financial One sent reminder to

255
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 6: take a look this campray coming out, check the speed

256
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 6: slowly and if you need to.

257
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 2: Dylan Thompson, thanks so much for your time, the AA

258
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 2: Road Safety spokesperson on the rollout of signs warning us

259
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 2: of speed cameras coming up. Next, it is Clark and

260
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: Brash v Luxen. Why Luxon is right and Clark and

261
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 2: Brash are wrong?

262
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: Separating the fact from the section Kid's Billy Edition with

263
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,359
Speaker 1: Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and Appliant Store News.

264
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 2: Dog ZBB twenty six, half to five. I'm not a

265
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 2: huge fan of former pms sticking their ore into the

266
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 2: water of current political debates. Not only are their thoughts

267
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 2: they tend to be rooted in briefings that were given

268
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 2: by officials years ago, back in their heyday, but when

269
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 2: attacking a sitting prime minister. They also tend to sound

270
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 2: a bit wingy and out of touch. This is the

271
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 2: case of Helen Clark and Don Brash, who issued a

272
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: statement condemning Chris Luxon for comments he made to The

273
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 2: Financial Times at NATO. Luxon said a couple of things,

274
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 2: and I'll run you through it. One, we need to

275
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 2: call out China more for spying. Two he wants to

276
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 2: sign a deal that would see US able to deploy

277
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 2: military assets to the Philippines. And you'll know the Philippines

278
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: has long running and regular disputes with Beijing and the

279
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 2: South China Sea. Three he's keen on our military joining

280
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 2: the US and Australia and conducting joint military exercises inside

281
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 2: the Philippines. Easy. Four he spoke about New Zealand being

282
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 2: a quote force multiplier for Australia, the US and other partners.

283
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 2: Now Clark and Brash are tutting this, which comes off

284
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 2: the back of the Orchest debate and wades into another

285
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 2: long running one. And this is the thirty eight billion

286
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 2: dollar debate. That's what two way trade between China and

287
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 2: New Zealand is worth. Remember it was Clark and then

288
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 2: Foreign Minister Phil Goff, who signed the FDA that got

289
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 2: us there, and they reckon that this tough talk from

290
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 2: luxin this so called cozying up to the US is

291
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 2: undermining our independent foreign policy, whatever that means now, and

292
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 2: could lead to us being punished by China at the port. China,

293
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: they reckon, is no bigger Aspire threat to US than

294
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 2: other countries. Here's the thing, though, Luxon hasn't actually changed

295
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 2: much in the way of foreign policy yet. Plus the

296
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 2: full Financial Times article also quotes him saying we're pursuing

297
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 2: a balanced strategy with China on trade, renewable energy and

298
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 2: people to people ties. What's more, the current PM is

299
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 2: getting more up to date briefings on China's cyber threat

300
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 2: than Clark or Brash. And when it comes down to it,

301
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 2: most of us would agree that we'd side with America

302
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: and Australia esl if war returned to the Pacific theater,

303
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 2: wouldn't we? Isn't Luxon just laying out and saying what's

304
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 2: realistically bound to happen, and saying all of that, Australia

305
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 2: the hard way that poking the bear and what it

306
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 2: can do to your exports, So it's an air in

307
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,479
Speaker 2: which we should tread carefully, but perhaps some are now

308
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 2: better placed than others to walk that tightrope. We're going

309
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 2: to talk about this in the next half hour on

310
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 2: the program. Also more on the government's emissions reduction plan

311
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 2: which has been released this morning, and lots of your

312
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 2: feedback on our insulation standards with this new investigation underway.

313
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 7: News is Next, News and Views You Trust.

314
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: To start your day's early edition with Ryan Bridge and

315
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and a flying store.

316
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 2: News Talk said yes.

317
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 7: The first time.

318
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 2: Good morning, Welcome to Wednesday. We're just joining early edition.

319
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 2: It's to have you with me this morning. A quick

320
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 2: update on our story we followed yesterday with Minister Mark

321
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 2: Mitchell Police Minister. This police pay deal numbers out last

322
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 2: night for One News showed that in the last year

323
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 2: more than three hundred KIWI cops applied to work in

324
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 2: the state of Queensland alone. So when you've got those

325
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 2: numbers applying in the last year plus a sour taste

326
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 2: after the deal that they that arbitration got them yesterday,

327
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 2: big hard pressed to think that a few more wouldn't

328
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 2: want to jump the ditch. Remember this is on the police.

329
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 2: Minister has put the goal of five hundred extra police

330
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 2: by twenty twenty five. That's next year, and we've got

331
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 2: some leaving to cross the ditch. You've also got attrition.

332
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 2: I'm wondering whether they should push that out a little bit,

333
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 2: the target or the number either or to save themselves

334
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 2: a bit of embarrassment coome election time in twenty twenty six.

335
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 2: Coming up shortly, I'll tell you about the man on

336
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,959
Speaker 2: the Moon and the fact that we have apparently found

337
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 2: the first cave on the surface of the moon. Would

338
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 2: you actually want to go and live there? It's called

339
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 2: a lunar pit. Apparently it's a survivable place on the Moon,

340
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 2: on the surface of the moon. Where are you moving to? Oh,

341
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 2: a lunar pit? No, thank you, but I'll tell you

342
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 2: why in just a few seconds.

343
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: Play light and bread rich.

344
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 2: First, we're going to Dunedin with Emily Ansel. Emily new

345
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 2: research highlighting the mental toll of vaping.

346
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 8: Yes, it's highlighting that mental toll you mentioned. It's taking

347
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 8: on young people and a targer university report published in

348
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 8: the International Drug and Alcohol Review looks into the vaping

349
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 8: experiences of twenty two sixteen to twenty year olds. It

350
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 8: found the habit dominates their thoughts throughout the day, especially

351
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 8: at school where many would make excuses to leave class

352
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 8: in vape. A Targer University Public health professor Janet Hooks

353
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 8: says lots of them became irritable and angry if they

354
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 8: to delay vaping. She says it goes from vaping with

355
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 8: their peers to getting their own device, leading to addiction,

356
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 8: which all happens very quickly.

357
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 2: In this May. How's the weather today?

358
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 8: Low cloud and fog breaking to fine towards midday, cloud

359
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 8: increasing this evening light winds with a high of eleven

360
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 8: Thanks Emily.

361
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 2: Claire Sherwood is in christ Church this morning and they

362
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 2: want a new bridge and new brys and Claire they do.

363
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 9: Indeed, Ryan and the christ Church East MP is calling

364
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 9: on the government to come to the table to help

365
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 9: with that. The Pages Road bridge is a critical link

366
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 9: to the community and was really badly damaged in the earthquake.

367
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 9: It's only ever had a temporary repair since then. The

368
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 9: council has budgeted sixty three million dollars towards a replacement,

369
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 9: but government funds are needed in order to make that

370
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,719
Speaker 9: a reality now. The MP out there, Reuben Davidson, has

371
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 9: started a petition calling for the Transport Minister to financially commit.

372
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 9: He says the government's ignoring the east of christ Church,

373
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 9: which currently risks being cut off in an emergency.

374
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 2: How's the weather looking today? Clear, low cloud.

375
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 9: And fog this morning breaking for a time this afternoon

376
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 9: light wins with afternoon easterlies. The high is ten and

377
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 9: five overnightsrill.

378
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 2: Thank you, Max toll is in Wellington X. Kiw doing

379
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 2: quite well in the region.

380
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 10: Yeah.

381
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 5: Earlier this year one hundred kiwi were flown from Waikatle

382
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 5: and reintroduced to the hills of Wellington west of the city,

383
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 5: beyond Korori Pest free Upper Hut now saying they've confirmed

384
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 5: kiwi roaming north of the city. A male and female

385
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 5: captured using surreptitiously planted audio recorders. It's unknown how long

386
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 5: they've been in the huts, but you've got a few

387
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 5: locals claiming they've been hearing them for a few years,

388
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 5: specifically around Whiteman's Valley, which is east of the hut,

389
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 5: heads down towards way Uyomata. Likely they've come all the

390
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 5: way down from the Demuttaka ranges. The important thing now

391
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 5: getting pest trapping, keeping up with efforts, making sure dog

392
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 5: owners get the message, keep them on a lead as well.

393
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, have you ever seen one in the wild?

394
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 5: Not in the wild?

395
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 2: No, not that lucky, No, neither of I. How's the

396
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 2: weather today?

397
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 6: Max?

398
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 5: Cloudy with the scattered rain fourteen the high central.

399
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 2: Thank you and never Letimno was with us in Auckland

400
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 2: this morning. You're at morning. You're a better sleep expert,

401
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 2: are you? I? I haven't.

402
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 3: I've got from news reader to better sleep expert. This

403
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 3: would be really weird for us since we're early morning people.

404
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 3: But apparently it's sort a brief break in your evening

405
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 3: sit down could provide a major payoff. So this is

406
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 3: an Otaga University study, so it's compared participants who set

407
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 3: for prolonged periods to those who complete three minute activity

408
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 3: breaks every half hour. So what they want is they're

409
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 3: saying that those who completed this in the evening before

410
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 3: they went to bed sleep for thirty minutes longer than

411
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 3: other people. So saying, you know, if you do squats

412
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 3: at night just before you jump into bed, or you know,

413
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 3: any nighttime activity like a walk around the house in

414
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 3: the evening, climbing the stairs, a living room dance. So

415
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 3: maybe if we do that Ryan, you know, and then

416
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 3: you go to sleep, you know, then you'll sleep for longer.

417
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 3: You'll sleep for longer.

418
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 2: I was immediately thinking of another nighttime activity that takes

419
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 2: about three minutes.

420
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 3: Were you're terrible, You're terrible?

421
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 2: Burial? Does that work?

422
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 3: Well? I'm not sure what I was thinking, because we

423
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,959
Speaker 3: get up early. I mean, I was asleep last night.

424
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 3: I was saying, to produce a leo. I was asleep

425
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 3: at about six pem. I thought, I don't have time

426
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 3: to do star jumps anyway. What can I say about

427
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 3: your comment?

428
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 2: Weather? Yes, weather areas.

429
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 3: Look, hey, another some more fog today?

430
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 2: For all I saw that it just doesn't go away?

431
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 2: Does that what?

432
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:35,479
Speaker 3: Eriie?

433
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 2: Doesn't it?

434
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 3: Fifteen's the high though.

435
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 2: Bit of rain. There you go, Thank you very much.

469
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 10: seven days a week. They were housed in a really

470
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 10: rundown apartment said to be extremely unhygienic, and were paid

471
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 10: at roughly six New Zealand dollars per hour. And the

472
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 10: problem for many of these Indian farm laborers is that

473
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 10: when they arrived in Italy having been promised work visas,

474
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 10: their passports were taken off them. They were not given

475
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 10: any documentation and many arrived in debt and yes you guessed,

476
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 10: they weren't ever earning an to pay off the debt

477
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 10: and the interest. And that is why two men, also

478
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 10: Indian nationals, have been arrested. When they were arrested Ryan,

479
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 10: they had over three quarters of a million Ossie dollars

480
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 10: in cash on them. It's big, big money, and these

481
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 10: I'm afraid these gangs operate in These slave conditions are

482
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 10: pretty common both Italian and migrants in Italy, and I'm

483
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 10: afraid they're often representing many thousands of people in fields, vineyards,

484
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 10: greenhouses across the country. Indeed, just last month, an Indian

485
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 10: fruit picker died after his arm was seven in a

486
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 10: workplace accident. Instead of taking into the hospital, he was

487
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 10: just left by the side of the road where he died.

488
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 10: So as you can imagine some pretty awful scenes about

489
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 10: how they're treated and the group these thirty three workers

490
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 10: are now being looked after by social services and those

491
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 10: with migrants support.

492
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 2: God, that's terrible. Let's go to Dublin. What's happening with

493
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 2: this protest?

494
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 10: Well, I'm afraid back to these situation of asylum seekers

495
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 10: and migration here because as you know, Ireland prides itself

496
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 10: on an open door, welcome to migrants. Well, it's suddenly

497
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 10: been inundated with welcome, open door for migrants, I think

498
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 10: partially possibly because the UK seems to be getting tougher

499
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 10: on it. At least it was under the previous government.

500
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 10: And what happened is there was a protest. There quite

501
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 10: a violent protest outside of site in North Dublin that

502
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 10: has been set aside for housing some of the asylum seekers.

503
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 10: Protesters gathered, set palettes on fire, some construction machinery on

504
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 10: fire as well, and also attacked police with rocks. Police

505
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 10: fired back trying to quell them, but several officers were injured,

506
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 10: with more than two hundred guardians it known or police

507
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 10: officers deployed to the incidents. Three of the police cars

508
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 10: were damaged and one of which was set on fire. Now,

509
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 10: all of this is because some people are saying that

510
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 10: there are Irish nationals who can't get housing, they can't

511
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 10: afford housing, they are homeless, and yet they claim new

512
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 10: asylum seek as a given priority on the housing list.

513
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,719
Speaker 10: The government says that's not the case. But we have

514
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 10: to welcome migrants and we indeed have to welcome them

515
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 10: up to certain standards. So a great deal of tension

516
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 10: and not the first time there's been violence on the

517
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 10: streets of Dublin recently when trying to sort these situations.

518
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 2: Out, too true, Gavin, thank you so much for that.

519
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 2: That's our UK and Europe correspondent Devin Gray. It is

520
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 2: eleven to six, Ryan Bridge, Right, it is CPI DA

521
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 2: yay everybody. It's sinfation data for quarter two that will

522
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 2: be released by Stats New Zealand at ten forty five

523
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 2: this morning, so stay tuned for that. On news talk,

524
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 2: se'd be most banks are expecting a slight drop, but

525
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 2: what does it mean for consumers and what does it

526
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 2: mean for your mortgage? Joining me now is a and

527
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 2: Z economist and CPI forecaster Henry Russell. Henry, good morning,

528
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 2: Good morning. What would trigger right, well, what number do

529
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 2: we do we need to trigger a rate cut? Do

530
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 2: you reckon?

531
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 11: Well, it's pretty hard to put a number on it.

532
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 11: We're going to have to see what the data brings

533
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 11: today and have a look at the details. But in

534
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 11: terms of what we are expecting, it is good news.

535
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 11: Inflation is expected to fall from four percent to three

536
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 11: point three percent. That is below what the Reserve Bank

537
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 11: expected back in May they forecast three point six percent,

538
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 11: But that does show inline inflation is falling a little

539
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 11: fast than they expected, but a lot of that reflects

540
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 11: weakness across volatile components, so things like food prices, fuel

541
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 11: and the a FIRS. And the Reserve Bank doesn't really

542
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 11: have a lot of influence over these things, and so

543
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 11: really what they'll be focusing on is domestic inflation or

544
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 11: non tradable inflation. There we're actually expecting the same outcome

545
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 11: of the Reserve Bank. That's not to say that that

546
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 11: would mark progress, it would end the Preserve banks run

547
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 11: four consecutive upward surprises since it went on hold. But

548
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 11: we just think it's slightly too early for that to

549
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 11: give the green light for an imminent oci cut as

550
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 11: soon as August.

551
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 2: So you're saying non basically holding non tradable steady would

552
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 2: be a win.

553
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 11: So we're expecting it to fall from five point eight

554
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 11: to five point three percent, So it is falling and

555
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 11: the quarterly run rate would be closing in on what's

556
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 11: consistent with inflation at target. But yeah, it does seem

557
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 11: like a stretch for a cut to come in August,

558
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 11: but certainly the risks are tilting towards a cut being

559
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 11: delivered this year. But we'll have to see what the

560
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 11: data brings today.

561
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 2: Do we need more I mean, do we need quarter

562
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 2: three data before making any decisions or with the Reserve

563
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,479
Speaker 2: Bank need quarter three data before making decisions on that,

564
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 2: or could could it potentially be based off just quarter

565
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 2: one and two.

566
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 11: I think they will like to see the Q three

567
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 11: data just in the sense that that is likely to

568
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 11: be to confirm that inflation is back within the one

569
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 11: to three percent target band. But look, there's no denying

570
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 11: recent economic dary has been very very soft in New Zealand.

571
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 11: The housing market is cooling, the labor markets weakening, consumer

572
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 11: spending as in the business surveys are telling us that

573
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 11: businesses are under pressure. But importantly they're also telling us

574
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 11: that businesses are no longer able to raise their prices

575
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 11: due to week demand, and that cost pressures are moderating.

576
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 11: All these things are adding to our confidence that inflation

577
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 11: is heading back to target and it's likely to stay there.

578
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 11: But we really do need to see those dynamics present

579
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 11: in the inflation data today to confirm that.

580
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 2: Henry, Thank you for that. Henry Russell, the ain Z

581
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 2: economist and CPI forecast ahead of the announcement by stats

582
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 2: n Z our latest inflation data at ten forty five

583
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 2: this morning. Mike Hosking is with us next. We're also

584
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 2: looking brief look a relook, I should say at Helen

585
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 2: Clark and Don Brash's statement on luxen.

586
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge new for twenty twenty four on Earl Vision

587
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: with Smith's New Zealand's Furniture Beds and a player store

588
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: News Talk Siddy.

589
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 2: Five away from six. Mike Hosting is with you next.

590
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 2: Very quickly though, Helen Clark and Don Brash and their

591
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 2: statement against well not against Luxon, but about Luxon and

592
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 2: his views on China and the US. They say, why

593
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 2: are we making such a big deal about China spying

594
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 2: on New Zealand. It's not the only country that spies

595
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 2: on New Zealand, It's not the only government that spies

596
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 2: on other countries. Why is it such a big deal.

597
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 2: I don't know. I would have thought, if you listen

598
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 2: to our security agencies, that there is a big deal

599
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 2: to be made of China spying on us, and not

600
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 2: not only our government, but our companies as well, some

601
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 2: of our businesses. Right, Mike Hosting is here. What's on

602
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 2: the big show today?

603
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 12: Well, we'll do the CPI, of course, and get some

604
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 12: projections around what it means and how it's going to

605
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 12: affect us and whether or not any of this carnage

606
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 12: economically is going to end anytime soon. Nigel Avery, remember him,

607
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 12: He's the shift and mission these days for big weightlifter.

608
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 12: He's a shift mission these days for the Olympic Games.

609
00:32:58,280 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 2: Good bloke.

610
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 12: Anyway, he's in Paris, so he's set to go. The

611
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 12: athletes haven't arrived yet, but that's about nine days away,

612
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 12: so we'll talk to him about and he's just come

613
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 12: back from dinner and wandering past the sin of course,

614
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 12: as everyone wonders whether or not they're going to leap,

615
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 12: And imagine if you're a triathlete and they at the

616
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 12: last minute the game, you realize that if they can't

617
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 12: swim in the Sin river, they're going to turn it

618
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 12: into a dew athlon. So in other words, well, yeah,

619
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 12: so one event just disappears. So imagine if you're a

620
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 12: imagine if you're a strong swimmer and suddenly they go

621
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 12: by the way, the river's too dirty, so you won't
