I mean they are just awful. There is 23 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 3: real suffering going on, there no doubt about that. But 24 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 3: is Starma going to change it? We'll talk about that 25 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 3: in a second. The Kremlin, This is on Ukraine. Kremlin 26 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 3: stalling for time still. The spokesperson says, there are quote 27 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,199 Speaker 3: no deadlines and there cannot be any. 28 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,839 Speaker 5: Ukraine is once again being denied its wish of having 29 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 5: a ceasefire and then talks, and frankly we're just seeing 30 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 5: more and more dialogue without any concrete outcomes or consequences. 31 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 3: Finally, Netflix has swept in and saved Sicime Street.

To make your Property search simple, 40 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: youth Talk said. 41 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 3: The Good Morning nine two ninety two is the number 42 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 3: to text. So Europe is trying to stop wars left, 43 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 3: right and center, but they're actually not very good at 44 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 3: doing that. Are they. Let's be honest, We've got and 45 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 3: by the way, starmer is sort of auditioning to be 46 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 3: the new Angler Mercle the know, the de facto leader 47 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 3: of Europe. But is anyone listening to Europe? Has anyone 48 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 3: listened to Europe in a while? Putin certainly hasn't. Yesterday 49 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 3: Boris Johnson, which was quite funny, came out and called 50 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 3: the UK the gimp of Europe because of its deal 51 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 3: which gave away their fisheries for another twelve years. Called 52 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 3: the UK the gimp of Europe. And that may be true, 53 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 3: but surely Europe is the gimp of the world. They're 54 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 3: not respected. They missed their own sanctions deadline with Russia, 55 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 3: which Putin ignored anyway by a week. They've now overnight 56 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 3: imposed more sanctions, but Putin will ignore them too. He 57 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 3: has the last thirteen rounds, what's a fourteenth? They failed 58 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 3: to invest in their military. They were free loading off 59 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 3: the Yanks for decades and now and Israel must be 60 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 3: shaking in its boots. Yes, people are starving and begging 61 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 3: for food in Gaza and Britain's standing there tissing. Is 62 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 3: that going to change the world? As Starman is pausing 63 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 3: trade talks with Israel. He's summoning the ambassador and Israel 64 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 3: has already come out and literally said, we don't care. 65 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 3: It's not going to change our position. Al Gillespie spoke 66 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 3: to him yesterday. He had an interesting point about, you know, 67 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 3: the only person in the world who can stop the 68 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 3: war in Ukraine is Hjingping. He's the one that is 69 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 3: supporting Russia by buying the oil that no one else 70 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 3: will take right and really when it comes to Gaza, 71 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 3: it's only Tehran and Washington that can stop the bombing 72 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 3: and the blockade. Another well meaning dog barking at every 73 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 3: passing car from Brussels or London or Paris probably not 74 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 3: going to change the world. Ryan Bridge shot up to 75 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 3: five and this is news talk. Zip. I'll give you 76 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 3: those Global dairy Trade auction numbers in a second, and 77 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 3: we will talk about z maybe going to sell you 78 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 3: some eggs. I actually think it's there are merits to 79 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 3: this idea, but some practical problems. We'll get to that next. 80 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on Eily edition, Where's one roof? Make your 81 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: property search simple? 82 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 3: Youth dog Zivvy, Good morning, just gone twelve after five. 83 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 3: Your Global Dairy Trade auction numbers from overnight. The prices 84 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 3: were down the index down point nine percent. That's a 85 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 3: dip after three pretty strong results. Whole milk powdered down 86 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 3: one percent, skim milk powdered down point seven percent. That's 87 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 3: the stuff we really care about. I mean, we care 88 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 3: about most of it, but that's the stuff we really 89 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 3: care about. It's fourteen percent of the total value of 90 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 3: our exports as powder, a butter down one and a half, 91 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 3: chedder down nine p point two percent, lactosets down thirteen 92 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 3: point two percent, and big drops. The mozzarella really the 93 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 3: only bright spot, and we sell a bunch of that 94 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 3: to the Chinese. Sixty percent of our mozzarella goes to 95 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 3: the Chinese. That's up point seven Despite all of this, 96 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 3: despite the fact that it's a softer one, it's been 97 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 3: a cracker dairy season. Ten days left to run, Forecasters 98 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 3: for record payouts, supplies being tight, bidding's been hot. A 99 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 3: and Z forecasting ten dollars per kilogram of milk solids 100 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 3: for this season and actually predicting the same for next 101 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 3: season as well. That is good for us, well, it's 102 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 3: good for not just for dairy farmers, but it's good 103 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 3: for the rest of us too. Isn't it good for 104 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 3: your tax take, good for your health system, good for everyone? 105 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 3: Fourteen after five rand shedding eggs from the petrol station 106 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 3: might be the new normal of z energy gets its way. 107 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 3: They're planning to roll out grocery offerings to all of 108 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 3: the are two hundred petrol stations around the country. They 109 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 3: say this isn't to compete with the big supermarket chains, 110 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 3: but instead just top up what they've already got available. 111 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 3: Text Wards is monopoly Watch. Spokesperson with us this morning texts, 112 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 3: good morning. 113 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 6: Good morning, Ryan. 114 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 3: Do you think this is a smart move from them? 115 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 3: Because I think about my dairy and dairies all around 116 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 3: New Zealand where you know you've got parking problems now 117 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 3: because of cycle. There are whole bunch of reasons why 118 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 3: dairies aren't as hot as they used to be. This 119 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 3: might be a good solution if you just want a 120 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 3: couple of things to pick up. 121 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 6: I don't think it's a real significant move, Ryan. The 122 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 6: problem with that is at the supermarket competition economics review, 123 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 6: the dynamic of their monopoly and supermarkets is you need 124 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 6: what we call like for light competition, So to have 125 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 6: any impact on price, sustainability or nutrition. Competition you need 126 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 6: like for light shops. This looks like a desperate tent 127 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 6: by the supermarket operators and by the fuel industry to 128 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 6: pretend that the whole cell regime worked. Ironically, the fuel 129 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 6: industry had the same competition problem and it had a 130 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 6: market to study actually before supermarkets, and they had the 131 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 6: Fuel Industry Act of twenty twenty. So sure it might 132 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 6: be a great place to buy some eggs and some bread, 133 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 6: but it's not going to solve the big planger and 134 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 6: the economy called competition in the super market. 135 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 3: But to be fair, they're not saying it is either 136 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 3: they're just saying or we sell a bunch of stuff 137 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 3: at the moment, we'll sell a bunch of more stuff, 138 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 3: maybe some pressure projects. 139 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 6: It makes yeah, makes makes perfect sense because if you 140 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 6: think about it in twenty years time, the that the 141 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 6: fuel distributors are going to have a problem as people 142 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 6: swap into electric cars, so then they're not going to 143 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 6: have so much traffic through But actually, if you do 144 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 6: a deeper dive into the announcement, a lot of it 145 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 6: is about the fuel industry trying to be goody two 146 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 6: shoes with the Commerce Commission and pretend that their wholesale 147 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 6: regime is working, and that the wholesale regime that was 148 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 6: suggested might work in supermarkets could also work. But this 149 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 6: just isn't the case because the industries are quite different, 150 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 6: and it's quite a dangerous move to have the fuel 151 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 6: industry if you're an industry analyst, and this is a 152 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 6: boten response, right, so apologize to doing it so early 153 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 6: in the morning. But but if you're the fuel industry, 154 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 6: you're trying to persuade the regulators that it isn't a 155 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 6: competition problem in the fuel industry because they have a 156 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 6: they have a wholesale regime where you have to. 157 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,199 Speaker 3: Have Yeah, but what they do with selling eggs. 158 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 6: Well, what it's got to do with selling eggs is 159 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 6: that they think it's a solution, that it's that's similar 160 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 6: to it, that that. 161 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 3: Are It is a long boat for the first thing 162 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 3: in the morning. 163 00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 7: Ryan. 164 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 6: But what we what the industry structures trying to do 165 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 6: is say, hey, we could have the wholesale regime similar 166 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 6: to what we had in the fuel industry, and now 167 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 6: we don't need to break up the supermarkets because we're 168 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,959 Speaker 6: going to do just what the fuel industry. 169 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 3: Did I don't know text. I think a long bow 170 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 3: not just for Wednesday morning, but just a long bow 171 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 3: is a long bow.

News Talk said 173 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 3: p the. 174 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: News you need this morning and the in depth analysis 175 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof make your 176 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: property search simple. 177 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 3: News Talk said be Aiden, and Dunedan says, this is 178 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 3: about the global dairy trade action. Good for the farmers, 179 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 3: but not great for my weekly shop. Price of cheese 180 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 3: and butter is increasingly unaffordable, perhaps at a supermarket dairy 181 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 3: prices report to the end of the Global Dairy Price 182 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 3: Report that you bring us every second Wednesday. Yeah, not 183 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 3: about it's two sides. It's two sides of the coin. Right, 184 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 3: You've got the prices that we get, which you know, 185 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 3: even on the whole milk powder alone ten billion dollars 186 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 3: an x spots, that's fourteen percent of the total value 187 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 3: of our exports. That's massive for us. So the higher 188 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 3: the prices, the international prices, the better off we are 189 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 3: as a country. But individually, when you go to the supermarket, 190 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 3: it hurts, isn't it. So yeah, Ad, and you are 191 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 3: not wrong. But I guess what would you rather? Would 192 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 3: you rather the price was low, and we had fewer jobs, 193 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 3: and we had less tax take and less money for 194 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 3: health and less money for education. The list goes on 195 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 3: twenty half to five. News talks are being crying Bridge right. 196 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 3: So it seems that keywis Apparently we still favor the 197 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 3: old fashioned in person shopping experience. There's a new report 198 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 3: from the consultancy JLLL saying we need nearly two hundred 199 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 3: and fifty thousand square meters of new retail space in 200 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 3: the next five years to keep up with demand. Which 201 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 3: when when I go down Main Street and I look 202 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 3: at shops, even in nice areas, these shops boarded up, 203 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 3: shops with rent signed four leaks on the side of 204 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 3: them an Mary Johnson retailings with me this morning, Amory, 205 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 3: good morning, or in it? So how does this work? 206 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 3: Because you do see shops that are sitting empty. Are 207 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 3: we talking about we need new retail space in a 208 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 3: particular area or a particular type. 209 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 8: Look, It's really good to see some positive prospects for 210 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 8: retail I've got to say things have been tough for 211 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 8: a long time for our retailers. But I guess the 212 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 8: thing is that we've been through these cycles before. We 213 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 8: know that eventually the cycle is going to end and 214 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 8: retail will pack up. So my read of this report 215 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 8: is that it's looking towards the future, to the medium 216 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 8: term when there will be demand for retail and retail space, 217 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 8: and so we need to be ahead of that curve. 218 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 3: What about the online situation? Does this take into account 219 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 3: because it's obviously looking at population growth and saying you've 220 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 3: got X number of people you need amount of retail space. 221 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 3: Does it take into account how much shopping New Zealand 222 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 3: is culturally, how much we do online? 223 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:05,079 Speaker 8: Yeah, we know certainly from our own research, and this 224 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 8: reflects This report reflects that that bricks and water stores 225 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 8: are still way more popular. People might do their research 226 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 8: online before they go to do their shop, but the 227 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 8: majority of key we still prefer to actually go into 228 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 8: a shop to buy the goods that they're looking for, 229 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 8: and we seem to be a little bit different from 230 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 8: the rest of the world on that. But it's hard 231 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 8: to see that trend changing significantly. 232 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 3: I can probably count on one hand how many things 233 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 3: I've bought online in my entire lifetime. Like, I just 234 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 3: don't Yeah, I just don't do it, and you need 235 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 3: to especially close. You need to try them on, don't you. 236 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 8: Well yeah, I was just going to say, especially for 237 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 8: things like clothes and some of those big purchases as well, 238 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 8: you like to touch them and see them before you 239 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 8: actually buy. 240 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, Emory, Well, let's hope that this rings 241 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 3: true and that we get some more Well, well, first 242 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 3: of all, that retail gets a bit of a reprieve 243 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 3: because I know trading is still flat, and also that 244 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 3: we get some more retail spaces. Well. Twenty three minutes 245 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 3: after five, you're on news Talks THEREB. Yeah, I think 246 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 3: I could probably count, literally count on one hand how 247 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 3: many items are clothing, How many items period I've bought online, 248 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 3: especially clothing. And you know, if you you know, during 249 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 3: winter you put on a little bit of weight, and 250 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 3: then in summer you ideally lose a little bit of weight. 251 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 3: Coming into summer, it gets very hard to try and 252 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 3: decide what size you are. You know, you need to 253 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 3: actually try them on, get them round you. Twenty four 254 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 3: after five the. 255 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: Early edition for All the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 256 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 1: by News. 257 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 3: Talks IV News Talks THEREB twenty six minutes after five 258 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 3: three strikes for Old Chippy in the last seven days. 259 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 3: Politics is all about perception, as everyone keeps saying, and 260 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 3: the perception of his last time on the ninth four 261 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 3: was bad for three reasons. Crime they were too soft, spending, 262 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 3: too much waste and debt, too much of that with 263 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 3: nothing to show for it. All of this fed into 264 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 3: the cost of living crisis right Basically, labor was too 265 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 3: loose on the purse strings and the gangs too harsh 266 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 3: on business and middle New Zealand. Yesterday, Hipkins stood up 267 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 3: in Parliament argued for shortest sentences. For some MPs, this 268 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 3: is the gun gesture gate, the Hucker sideshow, whatever you 269 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 3: want to call it. Arguing for a reduced sentence from 270 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 3: twenty one days to one was probably ill advised, no 271 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 3: matter where you sit on the actual debate. Politically, for Chippy, 272 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 3: in the eyes of your average voter, it was a 273 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 3: bad move. Arguing for a ninety five percent discount on 274 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 3: sentencing just plays into a narrative they ought to avoid, 275 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 3: like the plague that was strike three. Strike two came 276 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 3: earlier in the day. On debt, he refused to commit 277 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 3: to the debt selling of fifty percent of GDP. It's 278 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 3: the sacred threshold that Treasury warns we just shouldn't cross. 279 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 3: It's the same threshold even Grant Robertson said we shouldn't 280 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 3: the same threshold even Barbed from accounts said we shouldn't 281 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 3: cross a day earlier. So now national can run around 282 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 3: until the election's screaming debt monster till they're blue in 283 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 3: the face, and they won't be wrong until he commits otherwise. 284 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 3: Strike one, of course, came courtesy of the Greens last week, 285 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 3: the Mad Hatter alternative budget. The plans so toxic it 286 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 3: had killed growth like round up on your weeds. Chippy 287 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 3: first said he hadn't read it, which no one believed. 288 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 3: Then he said he'd read it and wouldn't rule anything out, 289 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 3: so he might allow some or all of the roundup 290 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 3: to be sprayed on our economic prosperity. Then he says 291 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 3: some of the stuff was bad, some of it was okay, 292 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 3: but still not committing to anything. Obviously, this is going 293 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 3: to be the high tide mark on a Green Party 294 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 3: negotiation position post election, and most of it will never 295 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 3: see the light of day and actually happen. And the 296 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 3: same way the Privileges Committee thing is not that big 297 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 3: of a deal to most voters and doesn't reflect their 298 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 3: crime and justice policies. But if politics is about perception 299 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 3: and perception is reality, it's three own goals in a week, 300 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 3: three strikes for Chippy. 301 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: Rich. 302 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 3: Twenty eight minutes after five, Y're on news Talks.

All right, how's your 349 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 10: weather find today?

A 354 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 11: lot of people, interestingly, over the last few hours when 355 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 11: I've been hearing from them and seeing posts online, They're going, 356 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 11: how could this be possible? It's a post quake build. No, 357 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 11: this building was actually moved into in twenty ten, so 358 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 11: just before the earthquakes. Council relocated to this building. That said, 359 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 11: it is really large and nice and modern, and you 360 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 11: would think that it would be quake safe. However, engineers 361 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,199 Speaker 11: have identified that there's some seismic performance issues with an 362 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 11: annex on the side of the building. So yesterday they 363 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,199 Speaker 11: announced a snap evacuation of hundreds I think up to 364 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 11: four hundred staff members, including all of the elected members 365 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 11: and the mayor. Film major had to get out the 366 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 11: immediate impacts already being felt. They've had to can today's 367 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 11: council meeting, where the trolley saga that we're hearing about 368 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 11: in the news was going to be discussed, and at 369 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 11: the moment they're saying it could be up to three 370 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 11: weeks before engineers have assessed the seismic performance of the annex. 371 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 11: The chief executive of council says this is a precautionary 372 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 11: approach that they're taking, but safety of staff is paramount. 373 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 3: So is that. So the potential is what that the 374 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 3: annex could pull the rest of the building down with 375 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 3: it or what well. 376 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 11: I haven't heard any more about the assessment itself, but 377 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 11: that's what we're thinking. I was speaking with my reporters 378 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 11: this morning. I mean, is it a case of just 379 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 11: being able to remove the annex we're not sure. Hopefully 380 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 11: we'll get an update. 381 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 3: Today all the annex.

Some 387 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 11: counselors saying, don't worry about it, leave it to the supermarkets. 388 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 11: It's their problem and we've got bigger fish to fry. 389 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 11: So that's one of our counselors. We've got the news today. 390 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 11: Others saying that we need to step in. Council staff 391 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 11: should be going and collecting them. 392 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 3: Not their job. Not their job. People just need to 393 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 3: be more responsible. But as you say, because the supermarkets 394 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 3: own them, they should have GPS trackers on them clear 395 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 3: like lime scooters and they can go around and pick 396 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 3: them up at night.

This particular trip raising money 507 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 13: for the UK, US and Australia cancer charities. This record 508 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 13: yet to be verified gathered Guinness Book of Records, but 509 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 13: it has not days off. Let me repeat he did 510 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 13: it in thirty five days. The previous or existing record 511 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 13: is thirty nine days. 512 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 3: Quite extraordinary, A lovely story, a lovely way to finish. 513 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,199 Speaker 3: Thank you very much for that. Kevin Gray are UK 514 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 3: europe Correspondent. I always think when people run for ages 515 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 3: and forever in a day, I think one day you're 516 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 3: going to need new hips and new knees and we're 517 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 3: probably going to have to pay for that. Do you 518 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 3: ever think that when people are running past you? 519 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 5: I do. 520 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 3: It is eleven minutes away from six Bryan Bridge. A 521 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,439 Speaker 3: political master stroke was it from National Yesterday to adjourn 522 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 3: the debate to move the privileges debate to the June 523 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 3: the fifth focus goes back on the budget for budget week, 524 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 3: the hype and the steam goes out of the issue 525 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 3: or are they risks to doing this? Bridget Morton, political 526 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 3: commentator with me this morning, Bridget good morning, Good morning. 527 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 3: The Multi party described this as psychological warfare. What do 528 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 3: you reckon? 529 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 9: I think it's just actually knowing the standing orders and 530 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 9: knowing how to use parliament and clearly National did that 531 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 9: yesterday and they're also able to therefore take the moral 532 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 9: hyground that actually about to say this allowed those to 533 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 9: parting Maori MP to be there for the budget and 534 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 9: actually that that's one of the most important things that 535 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 9: needs to happen in the parliamentary calendar and they're going 536 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 9: to be there to have their vote in these days. 537 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 3: And yet Chris Hopkins and Labor voted against it. How 538 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 3: does make them look? 539 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 8: Well? 540 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 9: I think to them they were in a tricky position 541 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 9: because they don't agree with the extent of the punishment 542 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 9: being handed out. And I do think Hipkins did give 543 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 9: a powerful speech in the House yesterday and just about 544 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 9: the extent of the punishment. But it was clear from 545 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 9: National jumping up that Hipkins had not anticipated that this 546 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 9: might happen and I suspect perhaps that the actually had 547 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 9: more time to contemplate it. They may have actually agreed 548 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 9: with the government and had that. 549 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 3: Delay is Hopkins and I might be going out on it. 550 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 3: This might be a long bow. But you know, he's 551 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 3: arguing because he wants to go from twenty one days 552 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 3: down to one day for that's a like ninety five 553 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 3: percent reduction in sentence. You know, does he risk playing 554 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 3: into that soft on crime thing? 555 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 9: Well, don't think it's necessarily soft in crime, but it 556 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 9: does make him look like he's not willing to stand 557 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 9: up to party Maori. And at the moment, should they 558 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 9: want to be back in government, they would need to 559 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 9: park them old as a coalition partner. And it doesn't 560 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 9: necessarily demonstrate that he would be a strong leader if 561 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 9: he's willing for that kind of behavior which was egregious 562 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 9: as happened in Parliament during the Treaty Principles buill debate 563 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 9: to happen without any significant pushback, and one day is 564 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 9: a very small punishment for what they did. 565 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, but also act when a little bit 566 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 3: far asking about in terms of imprisonment. 567 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 9: Yes, absolutely, I think that was frankly just a bit silly. 568 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, totally silly, in a waste of everyone's time. Bridget, 569 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 3: thank you very much. We'll probably talk to you after 570 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 3: the budget. Bridget Morton, political commentator here on news Talk 571 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 3: said B nine to six. 572 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan 573 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: Bridge and one roof make your Property Search Simple News 574 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 1: Talk ZIB six. 575 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 3: To six on news Talk sib Sparks chares were up 576 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 3: yesterday to nearly three percent. Actually this after some speculation 577 00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 3: out of Australia in a media column, a market gossip 578 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 3: you could call it, but about two private equity firms 579 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 3: potentially wanting to have an interest in buying some shares 580 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 3: it's dull listed and selling. At the moment. There are 581 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 3: data assets wanting apparently eight hundred million dollars. They've got 582 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 3: debt one point seven billion, a lot of debt for Spark. 583 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 3: So the talk is that if they don't get what 584 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 3: they want for the asset sales, then they might need 585 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 3: to raise them capital and that might mean that it's cheaper, 586 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 3: and then these private equity firms would swoop in. I 587 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 3: guess that's the theory. Someone says, Ryan. People who don't 588 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 3: run also need new knees. And hips that we have 589 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 3: to pay for. Yeah, that's true. But if you run, 590 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 3: the more you run, the more damage you do to 591 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 3: your joints. Don't you six to six ray for it morning? Mike. 592 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 3: You're a runner. 593 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 2: I was until I wasn't. 594 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 3: Did you need new hips? No? 595 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 2: I don't. It's a nice cycle for that very reason. 596 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 4: Funnily enough, Oprah said to me many years ago, the 597 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,239 Speaker 4: best exercise you can do is walk, and that's been 598 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 4: proven scientifically, so people think by running it's an extension 599 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 4: of walking. If you want to preserve yourself, cycling and 600 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 4: walking at. 601 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 3: The keys, well, I swim because for the same reason, example, 602 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 3: on your joints, and you can do it until you're 603 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 3: dragged out of the pool after a cardiac. 604 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 5: See. 605 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 2: Let me ask you firstly, what are these lights doing on? 606 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 2: What's going on? 607 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 3: I was asked to turn the lights on this morning 608 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 3: by our colleagues over at Herald. 609 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 2: Why and why are you listening to the heralds? Don't 610 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 2: you know? 611 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 4: There's a cost of living crisis here and lights of 612 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 4: the size cost a lot of money. 613 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 3: I'm not so consumed with paying the power bill here. 614 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 3: But no I listened to them because I'm partly employed 615 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 3: by them? 616 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 4: Are you how that might be a mistake on your part, 617 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 4: But I'll talk to you about that another day. The 618 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 4: Tonkin and Taylor. 619 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 3: Yes, the guy so the guy? 620 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 4: So are you allowed on your way to work to 621 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 4: have a go at Winston because he didn't do anything, 622 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 4: I mean just he had. 623 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 3: A pop bollocks, that's hardly. He didn't threaten him, he 624 00:32:58,320 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 3: had his land out. 625 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 4: Did he gave himself away? But if you're Tonking to Taylor, 626 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 4: if you run Tonkin and Taylor and you look at this, 627 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 4: are you going, oh jeez, what's this guy doing? Is 628 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 4: he a problem previously? Is this the sort of thing 629 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 4: he does? I'm just talking about the investigation they're going 630 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 4: to launch into him. Is it sackable offense? 631 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 2: What do you do? 632 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 7: What do you say? 633 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 3: Because you're your own person outside of work, it would 634 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 3: be the argument. And did he punction anyone? 635 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,239 Speaker 2: No, he didn't break the laws. He was a bit 636 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 2: of a pratt. 637 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 3: If he was wearing a warehouse uniform and worked at 638 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 3: the warehouse and you knew that, then you would probably 639 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 3: say he. 640 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 4: Was Yeah, but he was wearing a Tonquin and Taylor. 641 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 4: Hence we're talking about it on radio program. So I'm saying, 642 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 4: so he identified himself. So is it a breach of 643 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 4: the company?
