00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 2: student numbers are up, but why aren't we caning it

10
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,240

Speaker 2: company's CEO has been shot in Manhattan and New York City.

12
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: It appears to be a targeted attack. Our US correspondent explains,

13
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 2: Plus Andrew Hoggard's on the show Chickens Methane Forestry will

00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: The agenda.

17
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 2: It is Thursday, the fifth of December. The chaos continues

18
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: in South Korea. Martial law lasted just a few hours.

19
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 2: But will the president have another crack at it? What

20
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 2: position party says?

21
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 3: Yes, they will try it again by addressing their shortcomings

22
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 3: after they have failed once. When that time comes, We

23
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 3: the citizens, along with the Democratic Party of Korea and

24
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: our lawmakers will step forward and fight to ensure this victory.

25
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: A weird little period. The impeachment proceedings will start this weekend,

26
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: and the country's largest union called for a strike until

27
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: the president resigns. Cuba, we've spoken about this before. Their

28
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: electrical grid it's collapsed again. Nobody can go to work

29
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: or school for several days in Cuba at the moment.

30
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: And the problem, well, it's the same as it was

31
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: last time. They don't maintain their power plants properly. There's

32
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: more demand for air conditioning, and there's US sanctions limiting

33
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: fuel supply. The French prime minister is facing a vote

34
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: of no confidence. It's about to be by by Bayer.

35
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: The French Prime minister set to last about as long

36
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 2: as a croissant at breakfast, which is not very long

37
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: at all.

38
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 4: Based on what the parties that depose these motions are saying, yeah, mathematically,

39
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 4: it seems like it's going to go through. For me,

40
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 4: the most important issue is not that much that the

41
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 4: government will be turned down, because that's something that could

42
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 4: have happened anyways. When you have such a diviated assembly

43
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 4: but is that we are not going to have a

44
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 4: budget voided by the end of the year.

45
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 2: So the National Assembly opened just over an hour ago

46
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 2: with a result expected by a round eight o'clock this morning,

47
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 2: So Michael bring you that. Later on a news talk

48
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: said bad Spotify wrapped is out Taylor Swifts taking it out.

50
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: New Zealand for the second year in a row. Music

51
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 2: sound a little bit boring.

52
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: I don't know.

53
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 2: I suppose she has some more upbeat ones, doesn't she.

54
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: She pulled in twenty six point six billion streams, followed

63
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: I'm going to be filling in for Heather on drives,

64
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 2: so this will be my second to last show with

65
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 2: you all, and I must say it's been an absolute

66
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 2: privilege to be with you for the last five months

67
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: and I look forward to rejoining you next year. Sometime.

68
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 2: I'll have more on that after the end of the

69
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: show tomorrow. This morning, there is a review being announced

70
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: of the Commerce Act. This is from Andrew Bailey. He's

71
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 2: had another glass of wine and he's ready to get

72
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: into some work. So he is the Commerce Minister and

73
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: he's at the Consumer Fares Minister. The Commerce Commission needs

74
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: more teeth. The problem is what they call creeping acquisitions. Now,

75
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: what is a creeping acquisition? I hear you ask companies

76
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: making small acquisitions which don't affect the makeup of a

77
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: whole market they operate in on their own. Now here's

78
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 2: an example for you. Medical centers. You know, you get that,

79
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: and veterinary clinics, some physiotherapy, dentistry businesses, lots of little ones,

80
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: and then you'll get a big company coming in buying

81
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: them all up and so on. It's so micro that

82
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: it doesn't You wouldn't have your ComCom coming in and

83
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 2: saying nay to anything like that because it's too minor.

84
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 2: But cumulatively, does it have an impact and if it does,

85
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: then does the ComCom need some more powers? That is

86
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: basically what Andrew Bailey is looking at. What they've announced

87
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 2: they're going to look at this morning, that cumulative effect.

88
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: Ten minutes after five, Bryan Bridge. So we're going to

89
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: talk to Andrew Hoggart next SS, the Associate Agriculture Minister.

90
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: There was so much to talk to him about. He's

91
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 2: also buying security minister, so of course we'll get an

92
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: update on the chicken situation in Otago, also the methane situation,

93
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 2: the forestry situation and and the pouring of the milk

94
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: down the sink in the UK. Lots to talk to

95
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: him about next. I found my mind seeing is saying.

96
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge New for twenty twenty four on the early

97
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,599

99
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 2: Sidby, We've got some core logic numbers out on housing

100
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: will get too shortly as well. Trump's pick for Secretary

101
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 2: of Defense. This is Pete his guest. He is embroiled

102
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: in controversy. It's to do with drinking, it's to do

103
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 2: with his treatment of women. So will there be another

104
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: of Trump's picks four cabinet fall by the wayside. We'll

105
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 2: talk to our US correspondent about that. Just before I

106
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: didn't und quarter to six this morning, Bryan Bridge. So

107
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: our methane emissions targets may be lowered. A government appointed

108
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: scientific panel has found by reducing our twenty to fifty

109
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 2: methane emissions targets, we could still meet the goal of

110
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 2: not seeing additional warming above twenty seventeen levels. The Climate

111
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: Change Commission has warned that there is no evidence to

112
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 2: support changing the existing target of up to forty seven percent.

113
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 2: The government is now going over the panel's advice to

114
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 2: decide on a new target from next year. Andrew Hoggart

115
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 2: is the Associate Minister for Agriculture. He's with me this morning. Andrew,

116
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Andrew, Yeah, good morning right, good

117
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 2: to have you on the show. Minister. Tell me are

118
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 2: you are you basically saying you will love the targets.

119
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 5: No, this is just the scientific advice that we've received

120
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 5: and decisions will be made next year. We know from

121
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 5: my previous role my thoughts credy and where the target

122
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 5: should be. So yeah, this is just scientific advice to

123
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,239
Speaker 5: inform the policy decision that government will be making.

124
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 2: Do you concede that it's not as good for the

125
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 2: planet but it's better for farmers?

126
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 5: Well no, I mean what the science is saying here

127
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 5: is that no additional warming mean from no additional warming, Basically,

128
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 5: the farming sector needs to reduce on what the world's

129
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 5: currently doing by fifteen percent, or if everyone else in

130
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 5: the world steps up, then we have to move up

131
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 5: to twenty four percent. But that's the sort of information

132
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 5: it's come back from this report. And you know, I

133
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 5: would think that our farmer is doing our part, not

134
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 5: adding to additional warming is what they want to be doing.

135
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 5: You know, parents accords all about limiting additional warming for

136
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 5: one point five, we're saying for New Zealand agriculture, what's

137
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 5: the number for zero?

138
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 2: Yeah? This is the difference though, isn't it. It's the

139
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: expectation that the sort of parameters that have been set

140
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: for this because it's about not exceeding twenty seventeen levels

141
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: versus the current targets, which are more about cooling the planet.

142
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, well, no, the current targets are about

143
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 5: stopping warming to one and a half an extra one

144
00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 5: and a half degrees, And so we're saying We're not

145
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 5: going to add to that at all. Is what this?

146
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 5: You know, this question is asked, what is the number

147
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 5: farmers need to achieve to say that, hey, we haven't

148
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 5: added to the problem.

149
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 2: You know, the farm land use changes that you've announced,

150
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: do you basically are you basically saying to farmers you

151
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 2: can do what you want with your land, but don't

152
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: expect carbon credits if it's productive farming land.

153
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 5: That's pretty much in a nutshell.

154
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: Yes, two hundred thousand hectares of productive sheep and beef

155
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 2: we've converted in the past five years. Do you have

156
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 2: an idea of what this change might mean for that

157
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 2: number going forward?

158
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 5: Well, obviously it'll reduce it. Then in terms of the

159
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 5: exact number, No, I wouldn't have that off the top

160
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 5: of my head, but it would sort of. You know,

161
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 5: what we're seeing has been that the main driver for

162
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 5: a forestation has been the carbon price, and that's what's

163
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 5: driven a lot of their sales and changes of blanket

164
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 5: planting of farmland into forestry. And that's what's occurred. And

165
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 5: for a number of years now we've been hearing from

166
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 5: those real communities massive concern about going to the land

167
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 5: effectively into carbon forestry where there's no jobs, it's just

168
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 5: locked up and becomes a bit of a fire risk

169
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 5: and real concern to their community.

170
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 2: Minister, just putting your biosecurity head on for a second.

171
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: What's the latest do you have testing results from that

172
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 2: second Dunedin farm that was being.

173
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 5: Looked at no When I wake up, I checked my

174
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 5: phone and there was nothing came through overnight, So it

175
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 5: should be at some point we'll get the update on

176
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 5: all those other farms, which will give us a real

177
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 5: indication as to what the spread is and how quickly

178
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 5: we can tidy this.

179
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 2: Up if it's confirmed, like if it's if it's there,

180
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 2: is that really bad?

181
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 5: It'll depend on whether or not the So this is

182
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 5: the Seeking farm south of Dnean, The question in my

183
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 5: mind will be do we have a trace between those

184
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,719
Speaker 5: two properties? Is there a link between them now? If

185
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 5: we can't find a link between them, and also there

186
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:21,719
Speaker 5: is some difference in the sequencing in terms of the

187
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 5: DNA of the disease. That then adds another variable to

188
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 5: the resk of is there singing in the natural environment

189
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 5: that's causing this?

190
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, and good to know. Andrew Haggard, thank you

191
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 2: very much. For your time this morning, really appreciate it.

192
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 2: The Associate Minister for Agriculture there on a range of

193
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 2: issues just gone eighteen minutes after five. I will tell

194
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: you why this particular cattle feed in the UK is

195
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 2: causing some consternation with consumers. They literally pouring milk down

196
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: the sink and the toilet and filming themselves doing it.

197
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 2: I don't know why you pour it down the toilet,

198
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 2: just like you can make the same point pouring it

199
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 2: down the sink and anyway. I'll tell you more about

200
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 2: that later on in the show. Coming up next, we

201
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: are talking our student numbers. International student numbers. They are

202
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 2: a big number for US, our fourth largest export earner.

203
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: But why aren't we caning it like the Aussies?

204
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth

205
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Fifth City, New

206
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: Zealand's Furniture Beds and a playing store News Talks.

207
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 2: It'd be twenty one after five. Universities will be celebrating

208
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 2: the international student numbers are up seventy three thousand enrollments

209
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 2: between January and August this year. That's up twenty four

210
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 2: percent compared to the same period last year. The numbers

211
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: are up six percent on twenty twenty three totals already

212
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 2: still not back to pre COVID levels, though we are

213
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: seven percent shy of that. Jeff bilbra Is with Education

214
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 2: New Zealand. This is a Crown entity set up to

215
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 2: promote us basically as a study destination to the world. Jeff,

216
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 2: good morning, good morning, How are you today?

217
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 6: Thanks leaving me on the show.

218
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: Great to have you here. This is obviously a big

219
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 2: export earner for us. Why yes, the numbers are good,

220
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 2: but why aren't we back to you or doing what

221
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 2: the old things are doing and beating their pre COVID levels.

222
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 6: Oh well, the first thing to note is that in

223
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 6: just two terms that we've had more enrollments than we

224
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 6: had in all of last year. So that's a good

225
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 6: thing to celebrate. Regarding the Australians, what happened and to

226
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 6: the Canadians to some extent, what happened during the pandemic

227
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 6: is both countries decided to use international students as are

228
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 6: economic consentive to help their economy go to economies, and

229
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 6: they both developed what were quite welcoming policies for international students.

230
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 6: Sadly that had not good effects in both countries. And

231
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 6: what we're now seen is both Canada and Australia are

232
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 6: bringing in caps to international students. In Canada, the student

233
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 6: experience was particularly poor and there were reports of students

234
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 6: having to use food beats and some sleeping rough and

235
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 6: in Australia they lost public support for international education. Now

236
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 6: we haven't had either of those experiences in New Zealand.

237
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 6: Our research suggests that over eighty percent of international students

238
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 6: rate their experience very highly, and by far the bulk

239
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 6: majority of New Zealand is more than seventy percent. Still

240
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 6: have very positive experiences and positive perceptions of New Zealand.

241
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 6: So both Australia and Canada had very welcoming policies. They

242
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 6: got lots of students and it's caused some problems shutting down.

243
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 2: But they did get the cash too, didn't they, you know?

244
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 2: And that's the outside to it. I suppose will those

245
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 2: cats that you're talking about that Australia is going to

246
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 2: put in, will they benefit us?

247
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 6: Absolutely? So what's happened now is that the Australian and

248
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 6: the Canadian policies look a lot more like us. So

249
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 6: if you think of it as a running race, they

250
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 6: might have had a bit of a head start before,

251
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 6: but now they're back at the starting line alongside us,

252
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 6: and so we're starting to see a lot of interest.

253
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 6: The agent networks that we have offshore teams work with

254
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 6: them daily. They are telling us that there's a lot

255
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 6: of interest in New Zealand. We'll do a brand health

256
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 6: monitor and we've just got some initial results. I can't

257
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 6: give you the numbers, but I can tell you that

258
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 6: it's positive and it looks like some of the awareness

259
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 6: that we're getting in some of the interests is at

260
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 6: the expense of the Australian So definitely it's a good

261
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 6: period for New Zealand. But I think we need to

262
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 6: recognize that the sort of the steady growth that we've

263
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 6: had over the past three years since the border has

264
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 6: reopened has been to the benefit of both the sector

265
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 6: and the students, and the sector has been able to

266
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 6: build their capacity back steadily and the students experience has

267
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 6: continued to be good through that period.

268
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 2: Without a sort of rip, shit and bust thing like

269
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 2: Australia and Canada have done. Jeff, my words, not yours, Jeff. Jeff,

270
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 2: thank you very much for being on.

271
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 6: The very much that right.

272
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 2: Jeff Pilbre who is with Education New Zealand. It is

273
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 2: twenty four after five News Talks HEB the early.

274
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: Edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by NEWSTALKSB.

275
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 2: You're on News Talks HEB twenty six after five. Should

276
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 2: the government buy something just because it's made here in

277
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: New Zealand, even if it costs us more. That's basically

278
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 2: the question you've got to ask yourself after the latest

279
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 2: wool snub. This time it was kying of order saying

280
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 2: no in bold text, by the way to key, we

281
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 2: made woolen carpet for state houses and yes to synthetic

282
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 2: imported stuff. Why it's cheaper. We've been here before. You'll

283
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 2: remember the school classroom's same story. And it happens despite

284
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 2: a coalition agreement deal with New Zealand first ensuring where practical,

285
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 2: and that might be the caveat that KAO is using

286
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 2: here to get out of wool, that the local product

287
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 2: be used in government procurement and in government buildings. But Ko,

288
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 2: like a good kid in class, has been listening to

289
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 2: the government's main lecture, which has cut costs. Wool is

290
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: thirty percent more expensive on average, and carpets for state

291
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 2: houses than the nylon equivalent, But the industry says KO

292
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 2: and the deal could revitalize the flailing product and its fortunes.

293
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 2: So we have a clash of competing priorities cost versus localism.

294
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 2: The answer to the question posed at the start of

295
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 2: this is another question, which is never It's kind of

296
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 2: annoying when people do that, But here we are what

297
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 2: is the net benefit to New Zealand's economy as a

298
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 2: whole of government buying wool carpet, including the jobs that

299
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 2: you would create, including the spending that you would encourage,

300
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: and the increased cost of wool on the taxpayer. That

301
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 2: surely is your number. That is the number that you

302
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 2: would base a decision on whether to use a New

303
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 2: Zealand made product over a synthetic, imported equivalent. Frame Bridge

Speaker 2: News Talk SEATB Lots more to come. We're going to

Speaker 2: runs one of America's largest health insurance companies, has been

308
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,760

Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's

325
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: Furniture Bits and a playing store. US talks in me.

326
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 2: Good morning, Moselle, welcome to your day. It is the

327
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 2: fifth of December. Great to have your company. We're going

328
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 2: to a US correspondent about quarter six this morning, Cape

329
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 2: Fisher is standing by Racardo Me and India's march on

330
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 2: why beneficiaries aren't being paid what they should, some of

331
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 2: them resulting in debts, which is never a good thing.

332
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 2: Also this morning, a really interesting story from the UK.

333
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 2: Social media users are pouring out milk into their sincson

334
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 2: into their toilets, and filming themselves doing this. And it's

335
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 2: all over an additive, a cattle feed additive that reduces

336
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 2: methane emissions from cows. And this is something that's going

337
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 2: to happen more and more as countries like ours try

338
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 2: and reduce our impact on the climate. Blah blah blah.

339
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 2: Bovia is what it's called, and the consumers are going

340
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 2: there's a trial going on. It's made its way into

341
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 2: milk which is being sold in supermarkets over in the UK, Tescos,

342
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 2: et cetera. And so these consumers are seeing social media

343
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: posts about it, claiming that it's harmful to human health

344
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 2: and harmful to the animals, et cetera. And it's, by

345
00:18:58,240 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 2: the way, a product that has not been a pre

346
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 2: moved in New Zealand yet, so you don't have to

347
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 2: worry about it. But over there they are worried about it,

348
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 2: and people are pouring it into the sink and pouring

349
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 2: it into the toilet to make it kind of a

350
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 2: stand against it. It is interesting, isn't it, Because we're

351
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 2: going to use more and more of these technologies to

352
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 2: alter the behavior the natural behaviors of cows our dairy

353
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 2: herd to try and reduce their emissions. Basically try and

354
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 2: hold in a fart or a burp, which is, as

355
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 2: you and I know, never a good thing, is it,

356
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 2: And it doesn't feel like a healthy thing to do,

357
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 2: but apparently better for the planet. So anyway, there's a

358
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 2: bit of a tension going on. They're twenty two away

359
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 2: from six bird flu. We're waiting on test results in

360
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 2: that second farm in Otago. Andrew Hoggard, who is the

361
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 2: Associate Agricultural Minister, was on this show twenty minutes ago.

362
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 2: He said he hasn't heard anything overnight yet but Colm

363
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 2: proct isn't a needed for us this morning column. There

364
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 2: are answers expected on this today. Yeah, that's correct to Ryan.

365
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 9: It's just exactly whether or not the second Otago farm

366
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 9: has bird flu among its chickens. Look, MPIs continuing to

367
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 9: call those eighty thousand birds at a Mainland poultry managed

368
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 9: monarchy farm which confirmed the disease on Sunday, and then

369
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 9: yesterday it halted all movements of materials from another small

370
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 9: farm near Dunedin after a number of chicken deaths there.

371
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 9: Mpiss that's standard biosecurity process for when unusual deaths are reported.

372
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 9: They say testings underway and it's not confirmed to be

373
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 9: part of the bird flu outbreak at this point. Mainland

374
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 9: Poultry is also testing all at South Island farms, with

375
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 9: results due next week.

376
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 2: All right, how's your weather today? Got a strong win?

377
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:34,520

Speaker 10: It certainly was. Ryan Chinese national Tindrin Chow has been

383
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 10: found guilty of murdering the christ Church real estate agent

Speaker 10: and mother of one back in July of twenty twenty three.

385
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 10: She was last seen anti property in Hornby, where she

386
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 10: was meeting with Chow for a private property viewing. It

387
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 10: was there that the Crown said he attacked her. He

388
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 10: then dragged her to the boot of his car, drove

389
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 10: to the outskirts of christ Church and killed her. Her

390
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 10: body was found in a shallow grave on some private farmland,

391
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 10: but not until more than a year later Crown evidence

392
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 10: sowed the two phones were together on the day Bell disappeared,

393

Speaker 10: including at that grave site. Their blood was also detected

394
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 10: at the Hornby property Chow's car. There was also DNA

395
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 10: found on her destroyed phone. Chow, though claimed all of

396
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 10: the evidence or much of the evidence was fake and

397
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 10: was not enough to persuade the jury. He will be

398
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 10: sentenced to a for murder on March seven.

399
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,560

400
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:42,040

406
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 2: staff Christmas parties for government agencies.

407
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, it certainly seems like going to the days of

408
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 7: extravagant work Christmas parties unsurprising consider during the government's instruction

409
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 7: to the public sector the new Ministry for Regulation, for instance,

410
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 7: they're asking staff to bring a plate of food themselves,

411
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 7: drinks provided by senior leadership. The Health Ministry doing an

412
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 7: in house function worth less than ten dollars per person,

413
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 7: including non alcoholic drinks and karaoke, which I'm not sure

414
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 7: is the right combination for late afternoon Euphoria Stafford to

415
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 7: a FTI spending seven dollars themselves just to attend their

416
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 7: own offsite party where they pay for their own drinks.

417
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 7: Crown Law doing something similar, And that's the sense everywhere

418
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 7: have scaled about Christmas. Essentially, even at n z B Wellington,

419
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 7: we're going in house a couple of free drinks here,

420
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 7: food three to six in the afternoon in the office.

421
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 7: Basically we're sorting ourselves out this Christmas.

422
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, the same thing here. I think I'm not even

423
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 2: going to go to it anymore. I can't here.

424
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 7: Our big stars tend to avoid such things, don't it.

425
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm not Mike. I know, I know he won't

426
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 2: be going anywhere near a Christmas Paddy. I would happily go,

427
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 2: but I've got work and so I can't. Seven dollars

428
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 2: you said, one agency seven dollars for food and where

429
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 2: are they going? Macas well?

430
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 7: Exactly? Well, I think it's just for venue higher to

431
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 7: cover the venue higher, and then when they're there they

432
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 7: pay for their own drinks and food.

433
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 2: How's your were there?

434
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:13,439

Speaker 2: away from six News Talks VB.

469
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 1: International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance. Peace of mind

470
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: for New Zealand business.

471
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 2: I tell you what your house is worth in just

472
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 2: a few moments. Just gone cowarded to six on News

473
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 2: Talks EDB right now though Cape Fisher, our US correspondent

474
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 2: is with us this morning. The CEO of United Healthcare

475
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 2: has been shot dead in Manhattan. The NYPD currently holding

476
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 2: a presser. They say this is not a random a shooting.

477
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 2: This appears to be a targeted a tech kate, what's

478
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 2: the lightest.

479
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 12: Yeah, as you say, LISS, are about to give a

480
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 12: news conference in New York to get more details because

481
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 12: at the moment things are pretty sketchy. We know that

482
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 12: Brian Thompson was shot dead on the street outside the

483
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 12: Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan just before seven am local time.

484
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 12: He was making his way to the hotel for an

485
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 12: investor's meeting. We're told everybody there is in shock, as

486
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 12: our staff of the hotel. As you say, police think

487
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 12: this was targeted and not something random to the Mayor

488
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 12: of New York, Eric Adams, has tried to reassure New

489
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 12: Yorkers that it is safe to be out on the streets.

490
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 12: But clearly a shocking occurrent to kind of seems to

491
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 12: be some sort of execution in the early hours of

492
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 12: this morning. He was wearing a hooded black garment and

493
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 12: escaped on a bike heading down an alleyway towards Central Park.

494
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 12: But other than that, we still don't know what the

495
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 12: motive could be. The police press conference is just starting

496
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 12: as we speak.

497
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could say they've got a fine number up

498
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 2: for tips, so they're obviously wanting people to dobbin what

499
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 2: happens and.

500
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 12: A ten thousand dollars reward.

501
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, sounds quite serious. Let's go to Trump and

502
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 2: has picked the Secretary of Defense. There are allegations of

503
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 2: drinking and treatment of women. Here, is this going to

504
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 2: be another one that falls by the wayside.

505
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 12: It's certainly looking very tense at the moment as to

506
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 12: whether he can hang on to this. This is Pete

507
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 12: heski the former Fox News presenter, but there are many

508
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 12: allegations about him being drunk on the job and about

509
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 12: potential allegations of misconduct towards women, to the extent that

510
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 12: Donald Trump has apparently started to look for a potential replacement,

511
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 12: including his former rival for the presidential nomination, that is

512
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 12: Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida. They have had not

513
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 12: the closest of relationships, given that they were fighting each

514
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 12: other for the presidential nomination, and so it has surprised

515
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 12: some people that Donald Trump is looking to Ron DeSantis,

516
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 12: But at the moment, Pete Heskiff is still the nominee.

517
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 12: He's on Capitol Hill today trying to persuade some of

518
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 12: those senators who are unsure about him that he is

519
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 12: the man for the job. And his mother would have

520
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 12: even been on TV today trying to say that he

521
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 12: is a great guy and not to worry, even though

522
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 12: back in twenty eighteen she apparently emailed him and told

523
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 12: him he was an abuser of women. Oh yes, God

524
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 12: takes that back and has apologized. But you know it's

525
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 12: not looking great, no.

526
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 2: And we'll never good. If you need to call your

527
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 2: mum up to come out and do a presser for you, Kate,

528
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 2: thank you for that, Kate Fisher. Are you is correspondent

529
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 2: to just gone twelve minutes away from six Bryan Bridge.

530
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 2: Shearly one and four beneficiaries are being paid incorrectly. This

531
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 2: according to an annual report from the Ministry for Social Development.

532
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 2: It found only seventy seven point six percent of clients

533
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 2: had their entitlement correctly assist in twenty three twenty four.

534
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 2: That is worse than the previous year's result, which was

535
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 2: eighty two point seven percent. Ricardom as much as the

536
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 2: Green Party's Sarcial Development spokesperstings with us this morning, we

537
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 2: kin'd of more than a good morning. Well, this is

538
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 2: obviously not good. And the worst part of this is

539
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 2: that if you're a beneficiary and you get overpaid, then

540
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 2: you have a debt that you have to pay back.

541
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's right. And so what often happens is that

542
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 11: you could be overpaid by say it could be you know,

543
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 11: you know, fifteen dollars each week, but that accumulates and

544
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 11: if MSc picks that up way later than the line,

545
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 11: you could end up then slat with a you know,

546
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 11: thousands of dollars worth of debt from overpayments for something

547
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 11: that wasn't really your fault. MSDY couldn't even tell us

548
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 11: that they would guarantee that if it was their fault,

549
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 11: they would not then slap someone with a massive death

550
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 11: later thunder line, that means that pushes people further down

551
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 11: the poverty line and in a hardship as they have

552
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 11: to repay it.

553
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 2: The fault thing is crucial because it, as you say,

554
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 2: will determine who might be responsible. But isn't this just

555
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 2: a too hard basket thing because you've got somebody who's

556
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 2: working irregular hours, thereby changing what their entitlement to the

557
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 2: benefit might be. And every week you've got to basically

558
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 2: update MSD with how many hours you've worked, otherwise you'll

559
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 2: be overpaid.

560
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 11: And part of the problem is particularly for people who

561
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 11: are in casual work or moving in and out of work,

562
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 11: is that we have an updated and haven't improved the

563
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 11: system that a lot of people, for example, move from

564
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 11: being on a benefit into part time work. And because

565
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 11: of the way that your benefit effectively obeys, yes, you

566
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 11: do have that moment in which it's really difficult for

567
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 11: a beneficiary to be adjusting those things equally. It's difficile

568
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 11: for the working and competitive as well.

569
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 2: It's so inefficient. The whole thing sounds so inefficient. You

570
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 2: have to pick up the phone and ring them and

571
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 2: tell them what your ours are that week, what is

572
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 2: your solution.

573
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 11: So there's two things here. If you're listed benefits above

574
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 11: the poverty line and a lot of people to live

575
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 11: with dignity work and income case managers actually wouldn't have

576
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 11: to spend so much time delivering things like hardship and

577
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 11: emergency grants. They could be focusing on the basics like

578
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 11: getting benefit entitlements rights.

579
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the thing is, then do also make work

580
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 2: look less attractive? You know what I mean?

581
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 11: Well, there's no actually, there's no evidence of spaces for that.

582
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 11: If anything, Actually, when you have people living way below

583
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 11: the poverty line, you make it harder for them to

584
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 11: find work. That's been married and researched across many countries

585
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 11: where they have similar welfare systems. The other part is

586
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 11: that we need to make our abatement rates better. So

587
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 11: this is how much or you lose your benefit when

588
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 11: you enter work. If we make that a lot more stable,

589
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 11: it means you wouldn't have a super complicated welfare system

590
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 11: that even case managers at work and then come struggle

591
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 11: to understand RACARTDA.

592
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 2: What about an app? I mean, why have these bureaucrats

593
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 2: not got a simple app that you can log in

594
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 2: and you can punch And I've done twenty seven hours

595
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 2: this week. Last week I did twenty six. You know,

596
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 2: why can't we make this simple?

597
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 11: Well, part of the issue is that successive governments have

598
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 11: tried to make the IT systems better acquires an upfront investment,

599
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 11: and right now we've got a government that actually is

600
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 11: refusing to put enough money to update the IT systems

601
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 11: from working income that are frankly decades and decades old.

602
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 11: All right, well, you're transported to the eighties or well.

603
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,719
Speaker 2: I mean obviously the last government had the same approach,

604
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 2: otherwise we wouldn't still be living in the eighties. Ricardo,

605
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 2: thank you very much for being on the show. I

606
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 2: appreciate Ricarverman in India's March talking there about nearly one

607
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 2: in four beneficiaries being paid incorrectly. You're on news Talks,

608
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 2: Hebb get ahead of the headlines.

609
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge, you for twenty twenty four on early edition

610
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture bids and a playing store.

611
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 2: News talk ZIDB. It is six away from six news talks. Heb.

612
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 2: We had Andrew Hoggart on the program just after five

613
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 2: this morning. He said he still hasn't had any text

614
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 2: updates on that second farm. This is to do with

615
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 2: the bird flow outbreak in Otago. He hasn't had any

616
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 2: updates over night on the second farm. Testing from that

617
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 2: farm will be crucial into how this works going forward.

618
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 2: He's expecting something later today. It has just gone five

619
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 2: away from six and John just talks Marke's next Good Morning, Mike.

620

621
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 13: parties in the public service. It's like read through the departments.

622
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 13: If you read through each head it is it is pathetic.

623
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 2: And do you know there's a there's a social fundraising

624
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 2: committee for one of these departments, the Crown. Can you

625
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 2: imagine Debra from the Crown Laws exactly? Social committee, Jessica.

626
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 2: And so there's a couple of them. The best one,

627
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 2: and I can't remember which one it is, somebody in

628
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 2: management is actually buying some drinks for the staff. And

629
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 2: the worst one, I think is you've got to bring

630
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 2: seven dollars along. I don't know what do you I mean?

631
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 2: I said it is seven dollars. Then the ginger, the

632
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 2: giant jinger machine. I feel bad. The thing is, if

633
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 2: we're telling workers state employees to come back to the office,

634
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 2: then you have to.

635
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 13: It is a funny thing, isn't it, Because I mean,

636
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 13: as you well know, I dislike most of the people

637
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 13: around here, and so therefore I don't want to be

638
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 13: part of a social function, so I'd be happy. But

639
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 13: and you can also understand, you know, given the climate,

640
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 13: the moment you have a party or a function, everyone goes, well,

641
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 13: how much does that cost?

642
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 2: And have paper?

643
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 13: And I get all of that, But when you read

644
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 13: it as this list, it's got this tragic kind of

645
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 13: and you can have seven dollars and this twelve dollars

646
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 13: for you and bring an own plate and bring your

647
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 13: own drink, so you turn up literally with a six pack.

648
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 2: Under your arm, and some lammington thing is they probably

649
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 2: would The parties aren't funny anymore? Wouldn't you drink the

650
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 2: six beers you can have too? It's everyone's non alcoholic,

651
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 2: and who's no one sleeping with and anyone else? What's

652
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 2: the fun is that? Is that was?

653
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 13: Is that what happened across where you were at the

654
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 13: old place.

655
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 2: About It was a Cispit come Christmas.

656
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 13: Anyway, Forestry conversions, big talking on that this morning, so well.
