1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: The issues, the interviews and the inside. Ryan Bridge new

2
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty four on the early edition with Smith City,

3
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: New Zealand's furniture vans and a playing store.

4
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 2: Youth talks.

5
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 3: It'd be good morning, welcome to your Thursday. Just gone

6
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 3: six after five. Coming up on the show before six,

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 3: the OCR reduction.

8
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 4: A window of.

9
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 3: Opportunity has opened for homeowners. How long do you have

10
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 3: to jump through it? We'll look at that before six.

11
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 3: Also this morning, Hurricane Milton is about to make landfall

12
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,279
Speaker 3: in Florida. Why people aren't evacuating even though they're being

13
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 3: told to? Our US correspondent explained Northland's getting some well

14
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 3: I think short changed on the power Piland debarcle and

15
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 3: what did Ukraine get putin for his birthday?

16
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 2: The agenda.

17
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 4: It is Thursday, the tend of October. Category four.

18
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 3: Now, this Hurricane Milton, it's just hours away from making

19
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 3: landfall in Florida, looks dangerous.

20
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 5: Hurricane Milton is still a major, very strong hurricane. While

21
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 5: there is the hope that it will weaken more before landfall,

22
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 5: there is high confidence that this hurricane is going to

23
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 5: pack a major, major punch and do an awful lighter damage.

24
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 3: Big Warrior is storm surges of up to three meters.

25
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 3: Boeing has withdrawn its thirty percent pay rise off it

26
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 3: to its thirty thousand workers who've been on strike for

27
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 3: almost a month.

28
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 4: We've been talking about this for that long.

29
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 3: The union has rejected the offer, saying it wants forty percent,

30
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 3: so Boeing now playing hardball. Negotiations have since broken down,

31
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,199
Speaker 3: with no further talks planned. A hell of a firestorms

32
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 3: erupting in the US. Karmela's campaign is distancing itself from

33
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 3: running mate Tim Wolves. Nothing funny about this. Wolves says

34
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 3: he wants to scrap the electoral college system. That's the

35
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 3: two hundred and seventy you need to win, and he

36
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 3: said we should be going with just the popular vote.

37
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 3: This this is hugely controversial. It's part of their constitution.

38
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: Messing with the constitution is like touching Donald Trump's here,

39
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 3: you just don't do it.

40
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 4: What's worse, He.

41
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 3: Said it during a private fundraiser with some wealthy Hollywood

42
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 3: elites at the home of California government Gavin Newsom. Half

43
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 3: of KVY mortgage holders are crouching in the bushes this morning,

44
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 3: ready to pounce on a slashed ocr.

45
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 6: Around half of mortgage borrowing is now fixed or floating

46
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 6: for six months or less. That, by the way, is

47
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 6: the largest amount since records began in twenty seventeen.

48
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 3: My advice keep crouching, not that you listen to me.

49
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 3: We're expecting another fifty basis point cut in November. When

50
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 3: you add that to August and the one from yesterday,

51
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 3: that's one hundred and twenty five basis points one point

52
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 3: two five percent by Christmas, and we will get more

53
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 3: next year. The Reserve Bank takes a beach break back

54
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: in February.

55
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the day the

56
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's

57
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: furniture beds and a playing store, New Talk Zipy.

58
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 3: So we've done it, New Zealand. Congratulations, we have done it.

59
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: The war is over. CPI is now within licking distance

60
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: of its mid point two percent, which is in the

61
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: target range, the midpoint of the target range. Of course,

62
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 3: we should be angry. We should be angry. We had

63
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 3: to go to war in the first place, and it

64
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 3: was the same general, if you will, in Adrian Or

65
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 3: it's brought the boys home, same guy that sent them

66
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 3: packing to the bloody fields of punishingly high mortgage interest rates.

67
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 3: And that's because of well we all know this story,

68
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 3: too much larges, both monetary and fiscal, helping to drive

69
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 3: rates up, prices up, and then the rates had to follow.

70
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 4: And it's my.

71
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 3: First experience of inflation. I'm what thirty six years old,

72
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 3: first experience with inflation. And what a horrific heat leiness, brutal,

73
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 3: ugly enemy.

74
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 4: She is or he is.

75
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 3: Don't want to be sexist to inflation, man, boy, I

76
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 3: didn't know how it would make you feel. I mean,

77
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: you learn about this and when you do economics at school,

78
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 3: you learn about the theory of it, you understand the

79
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 3: machinations of it. But the way that it makes you feel,

80
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 3: it's the lack of control. And then it's like you're

81
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 3: stuck in a whirlpool and it's just going round and

82
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 3: around and around, and you look up and there is

83
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 3: a life raft and on that life raft is Desender

84
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 3: an Adrian pouring more water in.

85
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 7: Ah.

86
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 3: Anyway, we've won the war. We won the war. That

87
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 3: is the good news this morning. We've made the sacrifices

88
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 3: and we have won the war. What are the lessons?

89
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 3: The lessons pay down your debt fast, become more self reliant.

90
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 3: Think before we vote. We must think more before we vote.

91
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: When politicians promise things, and you see them doing it

92
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 3: over in the States at the moment when they promise

93
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 3: you things, ask them how much does that cost and

94
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 3: where are you getting that money from? How is that

95
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 3: being funded? Because when the shit hits the fan, and

96
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 3: it will again, there is no doubt about that. These

97
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 3: are the lifeguards on the side of the pool. Please, please,

98
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 3: for the love of God, make sure they can swim.

99
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 3: Ryan Bridge, eleven minutes after five. We'd love to get

100
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 3: your feedback this morning. Nine two ninety two is the

101
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 3: number two text. Hey, also just a quick bit of

102
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 3: news out of Ukraine. So it's Putin's seventies second birthday.

103
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 3: We were talking about this yesterday because Kim Jong sent

104
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 3: him a love letter saying you're my best friend. I mean,

105
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 3: it's a lonely world that you know, when you're a dictator,

106
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 3: I imagine you don't have many friends. So today he's got

107
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 3: his present from Ukraine has pushin his seventy second birthday

108
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 3: gift was a massive hack cyber attack on Russia. To

109
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 3: celebrate the birthday, they've taken out a whole bunch of stuff, businesses,

110
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 3: TV stations, you name it.

111
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 4: Happy Birthday to President.

112
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:29,559
Speaker 1: Pushin on your radio and online on iHeartRadio. Early edition

113
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture Beds

114
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: and a playing store.

115
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 4: News Talk said be past five.

116
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 3: News Talk said, B we'll give you an update on

117
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 3: Hurricane Milton, which is making lambfall and Florida at the moment,

118
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 3: lots of people aren't evacuating. There will tell you why.

119
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 3: We're with a US correspondent. That's just before six this morning.

120
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 3: In our neck of the woods, the neewer predictions have

121
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 3: come out. This is the Southwest Pacific Tropical cyclone outlook

122
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 3: for this season, running from November through April, indicating a

123
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 3: normal to below normal activity level. So it sounds so far,

124
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 3: so boring. The interesting part is that it's not really

125
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 3: the cyclones that hit us, it's the ones that brush

126
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 3: by us, as Gabrielle did, and for that we have

127
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 3: a normal to elevated risk.

128
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 4: So although there are tipped to be.

129
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 3: Fewer hurricanes going through our region, the chances of one

130
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 3: of them hitting us are normal or elevated. This is

131
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 3: within five hundred and fifty kilometers of New Zealand, so

132
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 3: bad news in some ways good news for the rest

133
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 3: of the region. And we're going to look at this

134
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 3: issue of the government's response to cyclones. The government is

135
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 3: responding this morning to the North Island storms report that

136
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 3: is embargo till five thirty, So after five point thirty

137
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 3: i'll give you more details on what exactly.

138
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 2: They're going to do brian Bridge.

139
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 3: Right now, though, from one disaster to another. That pylon

140
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 3: up in Northland that fell over and caused something different

141
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 3: impacts and damage across the region. Trans Power is going

142
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 3: to be paying one million dollars towards resilient power projects

143
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: for Northland following that transmission tower collapse. Grant McCallum is

144
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 3: the Northern the MP. He's with us this morning, Grant, good.

145
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 4: Morning, right.

146
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 8: And the difference between this and the cyclone damage is

147
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 8: that this was not an act of God. It was

148
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 8: an active and competence.

149
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 4: But we all know that, yes, quite right. Is this

150
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 4: enough to make up for it?

151
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 8: No, of course not. I don't think anyone's under illusion

152
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 8: about that. But I think one a lot of people

153
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 8: don't realize is that Transpower do not have to guarantee

154
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 8: power supply it's in the Act. And so to actually

155
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 8: get them to give up cough up with anything is

156
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 8: it was quite a challenge to be fair, but we managed.

157
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 8: So we managed to squirrel a million dollars out of them,

158
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 8: which we'll use two A region wide projects and benefit

159
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 8: of Northland. Not not a lot of money, really, but

160
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 8: at least it's an acknowledgment and a good will payment

161
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,719
Speaker 8: sense that they did actually cause some harm to the

162
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 8: people of Northland.

163
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 3: What do you reckon? The cost was tens of millions.

164
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 8: Well, well it was. I've seen estimates ranging from forty

165
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 8: to eighty million, So take your pick, you know.

166
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 4: And they gave you one. They gave you one.

167
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 8: Yes, but they started at zero and when they're obliged

168
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 8: to do nothing in this case, so that so we

169
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 8: did our best to get some money out of them.

170
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 8: Do you say that's what we came up.

171
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 3: Do you think there should be some kind of lord

172
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 3: change so that they're not they're obliged to do.

173
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 4: More than zero.

174
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 8: Well, ultimately I suppose that come would come down to

175
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 8: the how much you will pe to pay for power? Because,

176
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 8: as it had explained to me, if we if we

177
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 8: may have to make everything more resilient, it'll cost more

178
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 8: and the power prices go up. So I think as

179
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 8: long as people that undo bolts unnecessarily, we should be fine.

180
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 3: Right Northland, I didn't realize this. Northland, you're actually a

181
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 3: net exporter of energy. You've got your geo them on

182
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 3: your Kai car. You've got a big solar going in.

183
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 3: Can you are you confident in the lines the distribution

184
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 3: to get it down country to us?

185
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 8: This is a real opportunity. Actually we're not quite And

186
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 8: then explored right there on the verge, we've got the

187
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 8: potential that if we upgrade the transmission lines from Marsden

188
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 8: Point North up to Kaikohe and kok Tire and I

189
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 8: was arguable we can then generate another six hundred bigger

190
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 8: Watson conceded energy, including increasing they there Martha, and that

191
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 8: will make a real difference to Northland and also supply

192
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 8: energy from the North into Auckland, which will help them

193
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 8: because at the moment all their energy comes from the south.

194
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 4: Yeah. No, it'd be lovely to have some from you guys.

195
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 9: And you know, you know what's happened for it tur

196
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 9: if we get.

197
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 4: You charge away.

198
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 3: But you know what happens as soon as Auckland's involved,

199
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 3: and you know everything will be done, will be fixed

200
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 3: and done quickly.

201
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 8: You know, well, well you know that's there might be

202
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 8: a word called leverage we can be trying to use

203
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 8: there right absolutely.

204
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 3: Hey, thanks very much for your time this morning. Great

205
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 3: to have you on Grant McCallum, Northland MP. So there

206
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 3: you go, getting a million bucks, which is, as it says,

207
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 3: better than none.

208
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 2: News and views you trust to start your day.

209
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: It's early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New

210
00:10:59,080 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: Zealand's furniture.

211
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: It's and a flying store you've talk zibby.

212
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 3: Update on Hurricane Milton and Florida coming your way very shortly.

213
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 3: Lots of great texts on inflation, will get to those two.

214
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 3: Chinese stocks have suffered their worst fall in twenty seven years.

215
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 3: You know that we've been speaking about this. The Chinese

216
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 3: government has been trying to stimulate the economy, which has

217
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 3: been well a bit lackluster of late. I mean they're

218
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 3: still growing, but it's not great for China anyway. They

219
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 3: were expecting more because once you put your hand out,

220
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 3: people expect the hands to keep getting put out. Hasn't

221
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 3: and so stocks are falling, suffering their worst fall than

222
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 3: twenty seven years. We'll have more on that a little later,

223
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 3: just gone twenty two, after five Ryan Bridge. Air pollution

224
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 3: is gradually getting better in New Zealand, but much of

225
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 3: the air we breathe is still more polluted than The

226
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 3: World Health Organization recommends doctor Guy Colson as the director

227
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 3: of the Air Quality Collective.

228
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 4: He's with us this morning. Good morning, cure rome is

229
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 4: ear so bad here order to kill us?

230
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 9: Sorry sir, that again?

231
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 4: Is the air so bad in New Zealand that could

232
00:11:59,440 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 4: kill us.

233
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 9: In some places? Yes? I mean generally air quality in

234
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 9: New Zealand's very very good, you know, but there are

235
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 9: small pockets where we could do better. And our best

236
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 9: estimate at the moment is that something of the region

237
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 9: and three thousand people die each year as a direct

238
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 9: result of air pollution where they live.

239
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 3: How do we know that these people die from the pollution?

240
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 3: Do they live literally next to a motorway?

241
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 9: I can't give you their names and addresses. It never

242
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 9: said on anyone's death certificate that they died of their pollution.

243
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 9: This is a statistical measure, if you like. We know

244
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 9: from epidemiological studies around the world that an increasing level

245
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 9: of air pollution leads to an increasing number of corresponding

246
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 9: number of deaths. A statistical association. You know that as

247
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 9: air quality increases, the number of people turning up our

248
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 9: hospital or dying will go up as a function of that.

249
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 3: This motion concentration, this gradual improvement in our air pollution

250
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 3: thanks to what cleaner cars, heat pumps and things.

251
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 4: Is this a good thing? Does this meme? We're sort

252
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 4: of on the right track.

253
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 9: It's going in the right direction, definitely, Yes, it's just

254
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 9: happening rather slowly. So when our air quality legislation came

255
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 9: in about twenty years ago, there were a lot of

256
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 9: places that were very bad and they improved rapidly till

257
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 9: they met the legislation and then for the most part

258
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 9: improvement from there has been very slow. But yes, we

259
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 9: then what's going in the right direction, but as usual,

260
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 9: could be better.

261
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 3: Where is the best place in New Zealand if you

262
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 3: if you do worry about pollution, where's the place to live.

263
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 9: Out of the main town centers. So if the large

264
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 9: town centers like Auckland, Wellington, christ Church have a traffic

265
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 9: pollution problem, and then small towns in the rest of

266
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 9: the country, particularly sort of south Ireland.

267
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 3: I think we just lost them. Yes, I think we

268
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 3: have too. Anyway, that was Dr Guy Colson, director of

269
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 3: Air Quality Collective. The interesting thing about the Equality Collective,

270
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 3: so he was part of a bunch of guys who

271
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 3: were employed at Kneewha to look at ear quality monitoring.

272
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 3: They got fired because made redundant because of change is there.

273
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 3: He's now gone and set up with his buddies, an

274
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 3: independent group and they are contracting back to the government.

275
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 3: He says, at the moment, the government doesn't have any

276
00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 3: any ear quality monitoring experts on hand. Space Just go

277
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 3: out somewhere in the country and the wind and breathe

278
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 3: if you're really feeling you know, if you've got a

279
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 3: bad chest issue, just don't live under a motorway. Twenty

280
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 3: five after five.

281
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: The early edition Full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio Power

282
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: by News TALKSB.

283
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 3: You're on News TALKSB. It is twenty seven minutes after five. Lookout,

284
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 3: kiwe's your power bill is about to go up. I know,

285
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 3: I know we're celebrating this morning. The ocr the money

286
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 3: back in your pockets is coming and fation coming down.

287
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 3: But MB has warned the government that electricity prices are

288
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 3: likely to rise significantly over the next two years. This

289
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 3: is a story from Business Desk. See, we have all

290
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 3: seen the spot prices market increase skyrocket even but we

291
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 3: haven't felt that at home because our gen Taylor's, the

292
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 3: guys that we get it off, insulate us by hedging.

293
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 4: Right.

294
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 3: However, getting power to us is expensive, and we've just

295
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 3: been talking to Grant McCallum from north And about this

296
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 3: exact point. Forty percent of our bill is distribution and transmission.

297
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 3: Forget your whether whether the wind blows, you know, the

298
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 3: sun shines, the rainfalls, whatever. Just getting it to us

299
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 3: costs almost half of our total and that job is

300
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 3: done by essentially monopolies, the distributors, the lines companies transpower,

301
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 3: so the Commerce Commission regulates.

302
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 4: Their profits, right, we would expect them to do that.

303
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 3: Five year contracts, next contract up for a neural march,

304
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 3: your household bill for electricity could go up fifteen dollars

305
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 3: per month or one hundred and eighty dollars per year.

306
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 3: For some households that will be twenty dollars per month

307
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 3: two hundred and forty dollars per year. They say, this

308
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 3: is the NB advice. There is a serious risk that

309
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 3: some homes won't be able to afford heating. And we

310
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 3: know what happens when people can't heat their homes. The

311
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 3: hospitals fill up. Industry and business feel the squeeze, and

312
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 3: our thin growth forecast could also be squeezed by something

313
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 3: like this. So what's the moral of the story. Well, basically,

314
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 3: go and buy yourself a nice warm jumper, get a

315
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 3: hot water bottle. And if you are single and living alone,

316
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 3: you have until April to find someone to cuddle at

317
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 3: night twenty nine and.

318
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 2: After five, Ryan Bridge, I can't give you.

319
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 4: Any more else than that.

320
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 3: Really, We're coming up to news Hurricane Milton and the

321
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 3: OCEA after that.

322
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge New for twenty twenty four on early edition

323
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and a playing store.

324
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 2: News Talk Zibby, Good.

325
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 4: Morning New Zealand.

326
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 3: There's twenty four away from six News Talk ZIBB. Hurricane

327
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 3: Milton is touching down in Florida right now. There are

328
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 3: reports of tornadoes that are hitting particularly motorways. Sections of motorways.

329
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 3: This as people are obviously trying to flee they have

330
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 3: been given evacuation orders. We'll hear from one shortly on

331
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 3: why they are not evacuating. We're also live to a

332
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 3: US correspondent just before six, the OCRs come down. So

333
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 3: is now if you're waiting, crouching, pausing before you engage

334
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 3: in a house price purchase, a house purchase, they should say,

335
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 3: is now the time to jump? We'll ask real estate

336
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 3: agent of all people just before six, they're probably going

337
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 3: to say jump, aren't they? Because they're trying to sell

338
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 3: houses anyway. I just thought I would let you know

339
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 3: because Mike is going to be speaking to Mark Mitchell

340
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 3: just after he kicks off his show at six o'clock

341
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 3: this morning. But the government has responded to a report

342
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 3: that looks at the Civil Defense emergency response to Cyclone

343
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 3: Gabrielle in North Island's floods, and there's lots of detail

344
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 3: in there, lots of things that they want to change,

345
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 3: like giving effect to the whole of society approach to

346
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 3: emergency management, which basically means we the people will be

347
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 3: doing a hell of a lot more should another big

348
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 3: story come like that one. But one thing I found

349
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 3: particularly interesting out of this report is they found that

350
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 3: most people did actually listen to them and have three

351
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 3: days worth of food but it wasn't enough. They are

352
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 3: now going to recommend, according to this report, ten days

353
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 3: worth of food and water for your household. Ten days

354
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 3: worth of food and water for your household in case

355
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 3: there's an emergency.

356
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 4: That's a hell of a lot of food and water.

357
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 4: I spent some time.

358
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 3: We flew straight into a napier after cyclone Gabrielle, and

359
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 3: the one thing that I think everybody wanted was obviously petrol,

360
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 3: and the petrol stations were either running out rationing or

361
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 3: there was huge queues. The other thing you want is

362
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 3: gas for your barbecue, because your deep freeze goes off,

363
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 3: all your meat starts to go bad and thaw and

364
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 3: basically you just chuck it on and have a huge

365
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 3: fry up, have a huge barbecue.

366
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 4: So do this is my advice. Do make sure that

367
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 4: you have.

368
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 3: Some booze and some gas for your barbecue, because that

369
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 3: first night, in particular, will be one hell of a party.

370
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 4: Twenty two minutes away from.

371
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 2: Six Bryan Bridge.

372
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 3: Going to our reporters around the country now, Callum Proctors

373
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 3: and Dneda Callen, good morning morning right, tell us that

374
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 3: hospital campaign. What's happening next.

375
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 10: Well, it's kicking up a notch. It's going mobile, you

376
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 10: could say. The mayor here and councilors have unveiled a

377
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 10: protest ambulance Ryan to help deliver the campaign message around

378
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 10: the South and to Wellington. They say, look, this ambulance

379
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 10: needs a bit of work, much like our health system,

380
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 10: but they are excited to get the ambulance on the

381
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 10: road to encourage more locals to make their frustrations known.

382
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 10: So the plans are for the ambulance to be dressed

383
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 10: up with process branding, and the council have launched a

384
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 10: campaign or a competition for the public to come up

385
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 10: with a name for the ambulance.

386
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 4: Is it like a broken, crappy looking at ambulance. Is

387
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 4: that the idea? Or is it just a normal new

388
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 4: flash one.

389
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 10: I think it still drives. It's not a new flash one.

390
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 10: Looks like something from the seventies or eighties.

391
00:20:58,560 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 4: I gotcha.

392
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 10: So why at the moment no branding there yet. But

393
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 10: so that's the plan and we'll see how it turns out.

394
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 3: All right, So come up with a clever name. Nine

395
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 3: two ninety two give us the text if you've got

396
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 3: some ideas. How's your weather, Colum good today? Mainly fine?

397
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,239
Speaker 10: Any early shells will clear cell Westerns nor east TOCEI

398
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 10: even things to need is high fifteen.

399
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 3: I think you cleiar Sherwoods and christ Church. That smell

400
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 3: that stink from the wastewater treatment plant. Any sign of

401
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 3: it ending soon clear?

402
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 11: Oh, sounds like it might be ending soon. Ryan. There

403
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 11: was a period of time there where I had to

404
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 11: come up with different ways of saying stink and pong

405
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 11: and smell for my news bulletins because it has hung

406
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 11: around in christ Church for some years now. But there

407
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 11: are finally some plans to replace the trickling filters at

408
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 11: the fire damaged wastewater treatment plant, which is in Bromley

409
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 11: on the east side of the city. A big blaze,

410
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 11: of course, damage to those filters at the end of

411
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 11: twenty twenty one that's when the odor started. Now, after

412
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 11: almost three years of it, the city Council's now settled

413
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,479
Speaker 11: in eighty five million dollar insurance claim that means they

414
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 11: can replace the filters and hopefully fix the smell. He

415
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 11: says the new system will lower the total greenhouse gas

416
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 11: emissions from the plant. He says calculations show that the

417
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 11: sixty three percent of the council's total gross emissions.

418
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 4: Really sixty three percent of the council's emissions are from

419
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 4: our business.

420
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 7: Who knew?

421
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 4: Who knew? How's your weader? Clear?

422
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 11: Partly cloudy with a few showers about to early, but

423
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 11: will clear to fine fresh southwesterlies easing.

424
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 4: The high is thirteen, Thank you very much.

425
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 3: Yet the rest of the emissions come out of those councilors' mouths.

426
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 3: You can bet that speaking of max Holes and Wellington,

427
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 3: the mayor has come to the defense of her city.

428
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, the council. Yeah, this is of course relating to

429
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 7: Bordeaux and it's three bakery cafes announcing they're closing this week.

430
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 7: There have been incredibly disruptive roadworks taking place outside their

431
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 7: front doors for months and months. We asked the math

432
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 7: for comment on Tuesday, ahead of the story being published.

433
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 7: She said no, she must have seen how much traction.

434
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 7: The story then got incredibly well read online. People are

435
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 7: talking about it, a lot of people oddly laughing it

436
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 7: off on social media. The spin off, for instance, other

437
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 7: business owners standing by Tony at Bordeaux. So many feel

438
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 7: like no one's listening at the council And so the

439
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 7: next day Torri Fano did respond to us in a

440
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 7: statement playing down the impact of the road works, instead

441
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 7: pointing to public sector cuts in the cost of living.

442
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 7: And what she's stressing is how much suppose that the

443
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 7: support support the council is giving businesses around the city

444
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 7: a communication, she says, engagement services, whatever that means. The council,

445
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 7: she says, tries to help with marketing and promotional activity

446
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 7: for areas affected better signage, and apparently these businesses get

447
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 7: a small business support manager who meets with them one

448
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 7: on one. So there you go, not the fault of

449
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 7: the works at all.

450
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 4: Goodness me. How's your weather?

451
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 12: Bill?

452
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 7: Colder today, mostly overcast, southerly. He's a high of twelve central.

453
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 4: Thank you.

454
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 3: Neiva's an Auklan. Good morning, Neva, Good morning. Motet's got

455
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 3: some trams that wants to get rid of.

456
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 13: Yes, no, Look this is interesting because people are being

457
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 13: encouraged to adopt one of Motet's seven trains. I didn't

458
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 13: realize they hit seven. But what's happening is that they're

459
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 13: hoping to raise a million dollars. They want to upgrade

460
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 13: the one hundred year old tracks, so they're seeking donations,

461
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 13: encouraging donors to vote for their favorite tram. Now Motet says, Look,

462
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 13: we know that the fundraising goal is quite ambitious, but

463
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 13: they're not going to get all the funding from that,

464
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 13: but they're hoping that they can also seek donations from

465
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 13: other sources. And I've just done a straw pole in

466
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 13: the newsroom because I have never been to Motet, have you?

467
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 4: Yes, I have my niece and nephew. Yeah.

468
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 13: Wow, I thought you don't look like a Motet person,

469
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 13: but you have.

470
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 3: I'm not a Motet when you've got family over. So

471
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 3: the trams they're giving them away or you pay for them.

472
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 4: You just pay, you know.

473
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, that's it.

474
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 13: And I mean, you know, they just want to upgrade

475
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 13: everything there.

476
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 4: That's as far as okay, But.

477
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 13: We're going to do a little we road trip because

478
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 13: only three people in the newsroom have been to Motet

479
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 13: and seven of us haven't.

480
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 4: So yes, I won't be there. Are you sure you

481
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 4: don't want to join us? I'm okay.

482
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 3: But you'd have to have a big loan to put

483
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 3: a tram on, wouldn't you. I'm assuming it would just

484
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 3: sit there. You know, no one's going to actually be

485
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 3: able to use the trams, are yes?

486
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 14: No?

487
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 2: Well?

488
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 13: I think you know, I think too that they just

489
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 13: want to do this as one of their publicity stunt

490
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 13: things as well.

491
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 4: So you don't you don't take them.

492
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 13: No, you're not going to take the tram home.

493
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 4: Who was the case on one where you were going

494
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 4: to put these trams?

495
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 13: No, we'll leave them there at Motech. We'll just go

496
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 13: there and have a glass of wine and look at

497
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 13: them and gaze.

498
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 4: Yes, there she sounds not fun at all.

499
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 13: Okay, right, strike your name if you're not coming on.

500
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 4: How we road travel? I go for a wine with you,

501
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 4: but I won't go to Mota. Fair enough. How's your

502
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 4: weather partley?

503
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 13: Cloudy, isolated showers clearing though to fine. Whether this afternoon

504
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 13: sixteen is the high thanks Neva.

505
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 4: Update on Hurricane Milton from the States yet next.

506
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines, Ryan Bridge you for twenty

507
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's

509
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 2: News Talk said.

510
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 4: Fourteen to six.

511
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 3: News Talks said, we've been talking about Google's huge monopoly

512
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 3: on Search Engine and today the Justice Department over in

513
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 3: the United States, this is the Anti Trust Division. They

514
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 3: are filing in a federal report, sorry, in a federal court,

515
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 3: which could result in Google's monopoly being broken up. Now

516
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 3: that is an outside chance. What's more likely is that

517
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 3: they will impose restrictions on them. They say that Google

518
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 3: has an unlawful monopoly on search engines. Also on news

519
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 3: this morning, North Korea is cutting off all roads to

520
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 3: the South. They do have some roads, believe it or not,

521
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 3: that go between North and South, mostly for military perse

522
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 3: purpose purposes.

523
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 4: They say that they are.

524
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 3: Shutting even those roads in a sign that things are

525
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 3: deteriorating between the two states.

526
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 4: Thirteen away from.

527
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: Six International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance, Peace of

528
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business.

529
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 3: Hurricane Milton making landfall and Florida. Sally Patterson is a

530
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 3: US correspondent. Sally, we're hearing reports of tornadoes as well.

531
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 14: That's right, Ryan. This is expected to be a really

532
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 14: serious situation hurtling towards the coast of Florida. Now it's

533
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 14: an extremely dangerous category for storm and official state it

534
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 14: poses a serious threat to life. Storm Milton is expected

535
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 14: to make landfall tonight local time, so in the coming

536
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 14: hours and overnight, with winds of up to two hundred

537
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 14: and thirty three kilometers per hour. A tornado watch is

538
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 14: in effect across many of the cities in the southern

539
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 14: half of the Florida Peninsula, including many that you'll know

540
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 14: of Miami, Tampa Bay, and Fort Myers. It is expected

541
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 14: to weaken before it makes landfall, but it still could

542
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 14: be one of the most destructive hurricanes on record for

543
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 14: the area.

544
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 3: People are being told to leave. We found this guy

545
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 3: on social media who seed roads are two blocked and busy,

546
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 3: plus I might not get back home, so he's staying

547
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 3: put heavy.

548
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 15: Listen if things do get really really bad, we lose electricity,

549
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 15: or maybe the roads are blocked or there's debris everywhere.

550
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 15: Even if we were to make it to Georgia, let's say,

551
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 15: it could be weeks or maybe months before we're able

552
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 15: to get back to our home.

553
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 4: Salia. People hating the.

554
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 14: Warnings, well, he's one of many people trying to get

555
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 14: to nearby Georgia, trying to escape before the storm really

556
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 14: hits them. I want to stress the scale of these evacuations.

557
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 14: Around half of all the counties in Florida are now

558
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 14: under these orders. Florida Governor Ronda Santas says time is

559
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 14: running out for residents to evacuate and get out in

560
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 14: time you need to remember that people are still reeling

561
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 14: from Hurricane Helene, which left at least two hundred and

562
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 14: thirty two people dead across six states, and that was

563
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 14: very recent. The mayor of Tampa says that was a

564
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 14: wake up call, and she's warning locals if you choose

565
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 14: to stay in one of the evacuation areas, you are

566
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 14: going to die. But people might be trying to leave,

567
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 14: but as you've just heard there it is choc a

568
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 14: block on the way out of those major cities. People

569
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 14: are set for hours in traffic, many choosing to stay

570
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 14: in their cars and sleep there because they cannot get

571
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 14: any further than that would allow.

572
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 4: All right, thanks so much for your time. That great

573
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 4: to have you on the show. That's a US correspondent

574
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 4: with us just gone ten minutes away.

575
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 2: From six Ryan Bridge.

576
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 4: Here's an interesting number.

577
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 3: Half of us are on either floating or fixed for

578
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 3: less than six months. We are just crutch hold weight

579
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 3: and to pounce on a lower interest rate. And west

580
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 3: PAC's cut by ten basis points after the OCR drop

581
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 3: yesterday their one year special rate to six point nine percent.

582
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 3: That's the same as Asb's Now their two year rate

583
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 3: is five points six nine percent. The variable rates have

584
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 3: been cut by fifty basis points. What does it mean

585
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 3: for house prices? Campbell Dunnoon is the Old Day Hooker Group,

586
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 3: Head of Network New Zealand. Good morning, Campbell, thanks for

587
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 3: being on the show.

588
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 12: Good morning Ryan, nice to be here.

589
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 4: What do you think this is going to do to

590
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 4: prices and win.

591
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 12: Well, big question, But firstly, I think it's just fantastic news.

592
00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 12: It's news we've all been waiting for it's effect on prices. Well. Look,

593
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 12: I guess at the end of the day, it should

594
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:07,719
Speaker 12: increase more activity, more participation from people in the property market,

595
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 12: and that could lead to something more positive in prices

596
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 12: heading into next year. I think this year is a

597
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 12: bit of weight and see a bit of caution still,

598
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 12: but looking good for twenty five so.

599
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 3: There's no flood of vendors have been lining up waiting

600
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 3: for the sun to shine and Adrian or to sing.

601
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 12: Well, we've seen an increase in stock this year, in

602
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 12: the last half of this year, which is good, and

603
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 12: we're heading into the Christmas period and we're seeing more

604
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 12: indications of that coming along. So the stock has been there,

605
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 12: we're just waiting for the buyers and I think this

606
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 12: is just going to give them the nuts just to participate.

607
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 12: So again, I think if you're looking to buy, now

608
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 12: is probably a good time, and next year I certainly

609
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 12: seen much more activity.

610
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 3: Now would probably be the better time, though, right while

611
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 3: prices are still quite suppressed and before you get the floods,

612
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 3: if they come from the cut, it'll come in November

613
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 3: and then probably February March.

614
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's always funny people always try and pick the

615
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 12: bottom of the market, but look, it's been quite quite

616
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 12: average for nearly two years now, and I think we're

617
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 12: just with the signs, with the interest rates, the general

618
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 12: mood in the country, which I also think is important

619
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 12: heading into summer. Look, if you're going to buy, if

620
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 12: you see the house that you like, if you've done

621
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 12: all your due diligence, I'd be jumping in now because

622
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 12: next year you could have a bit more competition for

623
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:29,719
Speaker 12: the property.

624
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 3: Thanks so much for your time, Campbell donon with us

625
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 3: al Ja Hooker, Group head of Network New Zealand after
