What a sad 54 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 2: and hopeless story out of christ Church yesterday. If you're 55 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 2: not up with the case, it's about the death of 56 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 2: a beautiful, young, vibrant woman who was living in the 57 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 2: Garden City next door to a monster. Basically, her name 58 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 2: was Juleanna Bonella Hereda. Her neighbor was Joseph James Brider. 59 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 2: He had done seven years in prison for sexual offenses, rape, kidnap, 60 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 2: lovely things like that. He was led out ten weeks 61 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 2: before he stabbed her to death. This was in twenty 62 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 2: twenty two. It was brutal, it was horrific. If you 63 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 2: remember the story from the time now, the two were 64 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 2: learning this from the Coronial in Quest. The two were 65 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 2: separated by a wall. He was sleeping so close to 66 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 2: her every night that even his electronic bracelet wasn't able 67 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 2: to tell if he had left his flat and gone 68 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 2: next door to hers. Just think about that. Corrections didn't 69 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 2: properly log his curfew times. The probation officer yesterday said, 70 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 2: any attractive female near this guy was at risk. And 71 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 2: it's about now that any reasonable person would begin to 72 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 2: ring some alarm bells. Surely you'd be sending this guy 73 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 2: back behind bars, lock him up instead. Here we are. Here, 74 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 2: we are again, with a guy let out and an 75 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 2: innocent woman is killed. How on earth do Corrections, your 76 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 2: probation officers, your support workers keep believing these people. Why 77 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 2: when you know somebody is so evil and you've seen 78 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 2: all of the evidence, Why when you know they're capable 79 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 2: of manipulation do you keep believing them? Oh no, I've 80 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 2: been rehabilitated. I'm a good boy now. He even said 81 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 2: there are only elderly people living next door. Did anyone check? 82 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 2: Did anyone speak to the landlord and find out who 83 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 2: might be moving in next door? Did anyone do their 84 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 2: homework properly? And why do these people let it happen? 85 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 2: Is it sympathy? 86 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 7: You know? 87 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 2: Do these agencies and these people who work for them 88 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 2: believe I can fix this person, I can help them, 89 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 2: I can turn their life around. Of course people can 90 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 2: be rehabilitated, but when they're not, the consequences are god awful. 91 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 2: They're gut wrenching and innocent people end up dead. You 92 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 2: cannot get your sister, your mother, your friend back, can you? 93 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 2: And the worst part about this coronualum quest that I 94 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 2: just had to turn the TV off yesterday, turn the 95 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 2: computer off. The worst part is not the blame ducking 96 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 2: from the lawyers. It's the condolences. It's the everybody from 97 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 2: the judge to correct everybody. Condolences to the family. Condolences 98 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 2: are a slap in the face and they won't bring 99 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 2: who Lana back? Ten minutes after five, ye're on news talks. 100 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 2: There'd be so Tory Fano. If you're just catching up 101 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 2: this morning, she's pulling out of the mayoral race in 102 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 2: Wellington and we're going to speak to the man who's 103 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 2: probably be going to be the next mayor Andrew Little 104 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 2: Next on. 105 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: Your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition with Ryan 106 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: Bridge and One Roof.

We'll speak to the master builders 109 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 2: just before seven or so, just before six this morning. 110 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 2: I should say on this changes that the government's making 111 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 2: to our building code to make it easier for them. 112 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 2: You know, if you've got a single story home right now, 113 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 2: you've got to go through twelve inspections before you can 114 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 2: get this thing finished. It's nuts. So builders, your plumbers, 115 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 2: your drain layers, they're going to basically mark their own homework. 116 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 2: It will bring builders into line with Sparkys and gasfitters 117 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 2: who already do this. So we'll look at that just 118 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 2: before six this morning. Right now, it's fourteen after five. 119 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 2: In true Tory Fano style, the Wellington mayor this morning 120 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 2: performing one final massive flip flop. After saying she would 121 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 2: run for reelection for the met She's u turned and 122 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 2: a planned media state min and Bago till five o'clock 123 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 2: this morning. She's announced she'll instead run for a MILDI 124 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 2: ward and let Andrew Little take the top job. 125 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 8: I know that he would do a really good job. 126 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 5: I hope that people would see it as a gracious move. 127 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 9: I'm merely stepping aside because he really wants the role. 128 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 2: Of course, he's got to get elected first, but he's 129 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 2: with me this morning. Andrew, good morning. 130 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 4: There you go. 131 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 2: Right, So you had a call I understand from Tory Farner. 132 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 2: What did she say. 133 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 7: Assuring me last week? She said that she had thought 134 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 7: about it and that she didn't want to contest the meyorty. 135 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 7: She had yet to talk to a range of other people, 136 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 7: but that's what she said. I said, Look, you know, 137 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 7: thanks for letting me know. I'm not long for anything. 138 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 7: So I wished her all the best and that was 139 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 7: really it. 140 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 2: How would you describe her meyalty. 141 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 7: Oh, look, she came in at a challenging time. I 142 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 7: think everybody would acknowledge that. I think she's She's done 143 00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 7: some good things. I think one of the important things 144 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 7: was getting the zone changes for housing so we can 145 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 7: actually really start to accelerate the high density housing that 146 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 7: we need. But look, it has been challenging for her 147 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 7: and for everybody. I think people see that I stepped 148 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 7: up to be candidate for me because I think a 149 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 7: lot of people have lost confidence in the council and 150 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 7: we need to restore their confidence. Of people are going 151 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,679 Speaker 7: to have confidence in the city again, and businesses can 152 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 7: go about their job for a city that's lost a 153 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 7: lot of work and workers. So that's why I'm in 154 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 7: the race. 155 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 2: I'm from Wellington. The big problem, I mean, you talk 156 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 2: to anyone down there, it's rates. I mean, rates have 157 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 2: gone up twenty one percent in a year. They're going 158 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 2: up thirty five percent over the next three years. You've 159 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,719 Speaker 2: got your regional council rates up twenty five percent? Are 160 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 2: you going to bring rates down? 161 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 7: Certainly want to slow the rise. I need to have 162 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 7: a wise look at executive what has driven those rate increases. 163 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,839 Speaker 7: It is simply not acceptable for rus to increase, by 164 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 7: my calculation, about thirty percent in the last two years. 165 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 7: A lot of that is I think council not getting 166 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 7: a grip on their own finance. As I look at 167 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 7: some of the things that have happened there, I think 168 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 7: there's there's some capitalist bending that has been incurred on 169 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 7: the basis that it's it's not spread over the life 170 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 7: of various assets. You look at things like the Wellington 171 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 7: Town Hall, a project that right from there the very beginning, 172 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 7: was meant to cost you know, thirty to forty million dollars, 173 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 7: now well over three hundred million dollars. That suggests to 174 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 7: me that people haven't got the eye on the ball. 175 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 2: No, and now we've got the now we've got the 176 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 2: golden mile. This is the latest iteration. And she's saying, Oh, 177 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 2: I don't worry, it won't go over. But no one 178 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 2: believes it, Andrew, No one believes it, and you're not 179 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 2: stopping it. That's the problem. You're not coming in and 180 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 2: saying I'm going to cut this, I'm going to cut that. 181 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 2: I mean, what exactly are you going to cut? Or 182 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 2: is over three years okay for you? 183 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 7: No, it's not at all. No, I've just said that. 184 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 7: I said that Eli in an interview. That's not acceptable 185 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 7: at all. And it's one of those things that's making 186 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 7: Willington more unaffordable, not just the housing, as things like 187 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 7: rates as well. So I will have a good look 188 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 7: at the variety of projects that are under way. What 189 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 7: I have said is that where there are contracts that 190 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 7: are let I'm not going to rip those up because 191 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 7: that costs the countis more anyway. But where contracts aren't 192 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 7: leaked for particular projects, now is not the time to 193 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 7: be doing stuff that's disruptive for what is quite a 194 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 7: fragile business climate in Willington. So I ammitted to doing. 195 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 2: All right, So phase one of the Golden Mile, they've 196 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 2: got the contract for that. Nothing beyond that. So you're 197 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,319 Speaker 2: saying you wouldn't support anything Golden Mile beyond that Phase one. 198 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 7: I'm saying stop it now. There's a lot of people 199 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 7: say to me they think that actually the Golden Mile 200 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 7: stuff is in the long term is a good thing. 201 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 7: It just doesn't haven't tappened right now and we just 202 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 7: don't need the disruption. 203 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 2: All right, that's good, that's definitive contracts that have been 204 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 2: done now. Yes, anything beyond that the Golden Mile, Andrew 205 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 2: Little is saying no. And just to be clear, the 206 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 2: thirty five percent I was talking about, that's over the 207 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 2: next three years, so you were talking about the last two. 208 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 2: So is thirty five percent over the next three years 209 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 2: acceptable to you? 210 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 7: No, it's not no. And that that has that has 211 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 7: to be refewed and looked at, and we need to 212 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 7: take cost out. 213 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 2: We just need to is twenty seven kilometers a new 214 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 2: cycle ways and priority bus lanes doubling from four to 215 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 2: eight kilometers, which Tory Fino says was one of her successes. 216 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 2: Is that a good or a bad thing for Wellington? 217 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 7: Well. I think enabling people who go about their work 218 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 7: or what they do their recreation on a bike and 219 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 7: they doing so safety is important. So I'm not opposed 220 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 7: to cycle ways. I think some of the implementation of 221 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 7: them have been but I don't agree with Molesworth Street, 222 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 7: for example, being reduced to one lane. I don't agree 223 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 7: with the way things have happened around the Botanical gardens. 224 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 7: There are a lot of elderly people who have spoken 225 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 7: to me. To me, they can't visit there now because 226 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 7: they can't get a pack, So I think some thought 227 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 7: has to be gone to the way some of those 228 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 7: are implemented. Do I believe in safe lanes for cyclists, Yes, 229 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 7: but let's do it safely. 230 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 2: Very quickly before you go the city deal. I know 231 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,839 Speaker 2: it was a disaster because you know Wellington didn't apply. 232 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 2: Is there any way will you look to get some 233 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 2: leniency from the government so that you know you can 234 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 2: get one done? 235 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 7: Yeah, I cerenly would make that a priority. I think 236 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 7: I've got good relations with pretty much every minister and 237 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 7: office at the moment. I've always had good relations with 238 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,439 Speaker 7: people across the aisle, and I'd be surprised if there 239 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 7: wasn't a way that we can work with Gavin. 240 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 2: Fall Right, Andrew Little, appreciate your time this morning. Thanks 241 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 2: for coming on the program. Andrew Little, who will probably 242 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,439 Speaker 2: be the Wellington mayor. He is the course of candidate 243 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 2: at this point. Tory Funo is out. Twenty after five 244 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 2: News Talk, SAIB News. 245 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: And Views You Trust has done. Your Day is early 246 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,199 Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and One Room, Make Your Property 247 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: Search Simple News Talks b. 248 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 2: Good morning, Great to be with you. Twenty three minutes 249 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 2: after five. Pollstyr in a massive problem. It's filling our landfill. 250 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 2: Seventy seven percent of it is not recycled. Construction sites, packaging, 251 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 2: they are the big problems. Four thousand tons of the 252 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 2: stuff ends up in a landfill every year. So the 253 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 2: industry Association done a couple of reports. They're calling for change. 254 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 2: This morning. Rachel Barker, CEO of Plastics in z with me. 255 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning Ryan. So how big of a 256 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 2: problem is polystyring? You know, if you're on a scale 257 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 2: of one to ten with our plastics problems. 258 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 10: At the moment, I probably put it about a five 259 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 10: to be honest, seven percent going to landfill is a 260 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 10: massive problem. But if you look at our general plastic 261 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 10: packaging waste. We're only hitting about nineteen percent recycling rates. 262 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 2: So what do we do? We just strolled in the bin, 263 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 2: So how do you get people to not throw it 264 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 2: in the bin? 265 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 10: Or there's a whole lot of different ways we've the 266 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 10: two reports we've done, one is on construction and demolition 267 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 10: plastics where we use EPs for insulation and structural building things, 268 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 10: those sorts of stuff. And then in the packaging space, 269 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 10: it's fairly essential for thermal protection when it comes to seafood, 270 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 10: making sure that that's safe to eat. An end product 271 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 10: protection loss of a product has huge environmental impacts in 272 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 10: comparison to the packaging that's been utilized to ship it. 273 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 10: In the packaging space, what we can do is implement 274 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 10: products stewardship, so make sure that people have a place 275 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 10: that they can take it back to or it gets 276 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 10: collected and then can get recycled and reused back into 277 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 10: new products. 278 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 2: All Right, Rachel, interesting to have these two reports out 279 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 2: from you this morning. Really appreciate your time. Rachel Barker, 280 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 2: CEO of Plastics en Z. It has just gone twenty 281 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 2: four minutes after five year on news Talk, said b 282 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 2: the government is talking about they can help you with 283 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 2: your ear fares everyone's moaning about in New Zealand? Can 284 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 2: they really that? 285 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: Next the early edition full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio, 286 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: how it by News. 287 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 2: Talks It Be News Talks B twenty seven minutes after five. 288 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 2: Here we go again with the winging about Air New 289 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 2: Zealand's price. And I get it. I try and book 290 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 2: the same flights as everybody else. And when you're trying 291 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 2: to fly from some obscure route, you know, from this 292 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 2: province to that province, stuff gets expensive really quickly. But 293 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 2: here we go again with politicians telling us FIBs, telling 294 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 2: us they can wave a magic wand and fix things. 295 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 2: This time it's James Megha from National going into bat 296 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 2: for the South Island. Can't blame the guy flying, shouldn't 297 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 2: just be for the rich who says we're going to 298 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 2: take action talking about underwriting airlines. Do we really want 299 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 2: the government underwriting the purchase of turboprop planes really when 300 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 2: we already own Air New Zealand. We've heard this all before, 301 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 2: of course, the banks, the supermarkets, the price of petrol, 302 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 2: you name it. I can't tell you how many painstaking, 303 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 2: frustrating interviews I have done with ministers of all colors 304 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 2: and stripes, to be fair, who swear black and blue, 305 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 2: they'll sort it out and then they don't. What's worse 306 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 2: the person that punches you in the nose or the 307 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 2: that says they'll fix it when they know they can't, 308 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 2: and you just left with a bent nose and no hope. 309 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 2: Here's the thing. If you want to book the main 310 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 2: trunk line, it is relatively and expensive to do so, 311 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 2: providing you're not booking last minute. There's Jetstar keeping a 312 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 2: New Zealand on us. That's competition. But if you're flying 313 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 2: Kenny Kenny to Dunedin tomorrow, guess what it'll cost you? 314 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 2: A billion dollars? Why? Because they're basically got you over 315 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 2: a barrel, haven't they? You need to fly? It's short notice. 316 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 2: Business customers normally book these flights. Eight thousand people live 317 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 2: in Ketty Kenny, one hundred and thirty thousand in Dunedin. 318 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 2: Tourism is seasonal, these routes are often empty. Air New 319 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 2: Zealand has major aircraft engine issues. The fact is running 320 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 2: a profitable airline in a sparsely populated country is bloody difficult, 321 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 2: and we want them to be profitable otherwise we have 322 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 2: no airline and then we're a backwater banana republic. And 323 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 2: the regional players they're not doing too well either. Ere 324 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 2: Chathams the other week, remember this threatening to pull out 325 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 2: of Fakatan unless the council paid for a new cessna. 326 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 2: Everyone compares us to the Aussies. But have a look 327 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 2: at outback Queensland. You pay thousands just to get to Brisbane. 328 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 2: Show me a headline about flights being cheaper from Dunedin 329 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 2: to Bali than Dunedin to Auckland, and I'll show you 330 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 2: one about Mount Isa to Brisbane and Brisbane to Canada. 331 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 2: Population matters and guess what, We're a blip on the radar. 332 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 2: And as for that promise from a politician that they'll 333 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 2: swoop in and save the day, about as reliable as 334 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 2: the playing schedule itself. 335 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: Ryan Ridge on all the edition with one roof to 336 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: make your property search simple. 337 00:17:51,160 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 2: Uth dog Ziby, good morning, it is twenty four and 338 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 2: it's away from six year.

Tory Farno's pulled out of 340 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 2: the Meryoral race in Wellington, which is probably the right 341 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 2: thing because she would have lost it anyway, probably didn't 342 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 2: want to spend any of her money on a campaign. 343 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 2: I would imagine now lots of feedback to this. We 344 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 2: had Andrew Little on the show earlier. Ryan, any rate 345 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 2: rise above inflation is not acceptable. Well, Andrew Little said 346 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 2: this morning that the planned thirty five percent over the 347 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 2: next three years won't fly under his watch. So there's hope, 348 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,120 Speaker 2: even if it's a glimmer. Ryan, good to hold Little 349 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,360 Speaker 2: to account. The guy who was Minister of Health vaporized 350 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 2: two billion dollars on mental health and did absolutely nothing 351 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 2: with it. That is a point, John, And this one 352 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 2: from Rob what about the businesses that go broke during 353 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 2: the construction of Courtney Place and the Golden Mile. It's 354 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 2: a very good point. And Tory Farno did say there 355 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 2: would be micro loans of up to fifteen hundred dollars 356 00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 2: for businesses. Well they've pulled back on those two, so 357 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 2: you won't get a micro loan now. And I was 358 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 2: watching yesterday as she turned the sod the first sod 359 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 2: and they had a blessing ceremony and I thought, wonder 360 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 2: how much that costs. So I'm hoping someone in our newsroom, 361 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 2: I'm sure they will be putting in a little OAA 362 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 2: finding out how much that sod turning ceremony costs. And 363 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 2: if it was anywhere near fifteen hundred dollars, well, I 364 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 2: just wouldn't be surprised. I just wouldn't be surprised. And 365 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 2: it's not even funny. Twenty three away from six now, 366 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge. Nikola Willis has said that the tax charity 367 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 2: changes she hinted might happen in the budget won't actually 368 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 2: happen in this budget. She says there's loopholes talks about Sanitarium. 369 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 2: Have a listen. 370 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 8: If you take that example of Sanitarium, if we were 371 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 8: to say we're now not exempting your business from tax, 372 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 8: what they could do is instead make that make their 373 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 8: profits a donation back to the Seventh day Adventist Church, 374 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 8: their parent, and so they wouldn't in fact be paying 375 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 8: any more tax. 376 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 2: Here you go twenty two a wave that you can 377 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 2: breathe a sigh of relief. Sanitarium twenty two away from 378 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 2: at least for now six o'clock Colum Proctor and needed 379 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,639 Speaker 2: for us this morning, Colum, Good morning, morning Rong. Major 380 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,679 Speaker 2: changes on the wave for Queenstown Airport. 381 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 5: Ye, this is a twelve million dollar project around the 382 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 5: terminal building. It's to be extended north towards the airfield, 383 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 5: providing eight hundred meters of new offices. This work will 384 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 5: take place over the next fourteen months. It will also 385 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 5: include a non passenger screening room, with significant electrical upgrades 386 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 5: also being completed. There's also about ten million being spent 387 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 5: on strengthening the structure of the terminal to increase its 388 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 5: ability to withstand an earthquake. Project managers say, look, this 389 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 5: is an important investment as the airport's an essential community asset. 390 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 2: How's your weather column? 391 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 5: A pretty good fine with cloudy periods, possible evening shower 392 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 5: later the heights Today sixteenth. 393 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 2: Brilliant Claire's and Christ Churche clear, good morning to you. 394 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 2: You've got a bridge coming across the Avon. 395 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 9: Yes, well, the fourth. 396 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 11: And final bridge will be going across the Avon and 397 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 11: as part of this kind of post quake at Christ Jurge. 398 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 11: This is the one that the University of Canterbury students 399 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 11: have been working on. They've designed the concept for the bridge, 400 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 11: which is in the suburb of Darlington. It's meant to 401 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 11: be starting any day now and we'll be completed by August. 402 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 11: The residential red Zone manager Dave Little tells us that 403 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 11: the structure's design is inspired by more kih, which is 404 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 11: a small canoe made from europa and flax. Its construction 405 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 11: marks the completion of the first phase of our city 406 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 11: to see pathway. The cool thing is the public's going 407 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 11: to be invited to watch the bridge as it's craned 408 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 11: onto the site. 409 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 2: Alrighty, how's your weather clear? 410 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 11: Cloudy with occasional ray northeast of these dying out a 411 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 11: bit later at a high of fifteen. 412 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 2: Brilliant, Thank you, Max toldin Wellington, Max, good morning, good morning. 413 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 2: How are you feeling about the touring news. 414 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 12: Mixed mixed emotions here? 415 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, because you have nothing to report on anymore. 416 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 12: That's an element of it. What's the legacy do you think? 417 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 2: Disappointing? 418 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 12: Disappointing for everyone, even for those in the city who 419 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 12: voted for her and saw her as someone truly transformative. 420 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,199 Speaker 12: To borrow words she would use herself. She was supposed 421 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 12: to be mayor for three terms, that was the promise, 422 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 12: and then central government. She wanted to be a minister eventually, 423 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 12: I can tell you privately, she told some she wouldn't 424 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 12: run again late last year, then changed her mind over 425 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 12: summer after certain conversations with people close to her. Re 426 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 12: announced her mayoralty under the Green banner. Fairly recently so 427 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 12: her mind has clearly gone back and forth on this. 428 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 2: In terms of. 429 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 12: Legacy, there's of course the failed airport share sale that 430 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 12: alienated many on the left, ill advised comments to media, 431 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 12: ill advised behavior and public dissatisfaction. Here in Wellington with 432 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 12: road works businesses going under loosening housing rules was a win. 433 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 12: There are more cycle ways in Wellington. Has promised the 434 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 12: Golden Miles you say, started yesterday, but even that has 435 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 12: become a shell of its former dream. The Golden Miles 436 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 12: part of her platform, but the idea of it previously 437 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 12: extended to the end of Lampton Key. Now it will 438 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 12: be fortunate if the Courtney Place work is done in 439 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 12: its entirety. You might say she was hampered by a 440 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 12: change in government. She could never mend relationships with others 441 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 12: at council. There was, of course the appointment of a 442 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 12: Crown Observer, terrible look for a city council. And ultimately 443 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 12: she's always talked so much about wanting to be a 444 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 12: leader and being a strong leader. She's spoken at leadership events, conferences, summits. 445 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,199 Speaker 12: But leadership must be grounded in reality and of course 446 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 12: longevity as well. 447 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 2: It's me a glowing report card from you this morning. 448 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 7: Max. 449 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 2: How's your weather. 450 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 12: Party cloudy with southerly seventeen the high central excellent. 451 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 2: Neighva's a Neva good ian the same thing. 452 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 9: What a glowing report from Meg's word. 453 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 2: Now you've got the big story this morning.

So look, 456 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 9: there's disputyre in those who live in Auckland. They know 457 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 9: about this big blue sign. Now it's a fifteen met 458 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 9: retro style sign. 459 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 2: It was like the Jetsons. 460 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 9: Now this was removed though. This was back in twenty 461 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,040 Speaker 9: nineteen to make way for the Eastern Busway project. But 462 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 9: people want it back. So some of the ideas that 463 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 9: have been floating around or replica signed a different location 464 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 9: in Permure, a piece of art incorporating that old sign. 465 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 9: Do you remember the sign? 466 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 2: No?

Okay, all right, I think it did. 473 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 9: It's been so long anyway back to me. So there's 474 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 9: actually public support for the return of the sign to 475 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 9: its original spot, and there's now a petition to you know, 476 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 9: gathered and it's got like fifteen hundred signatures. Isn't that 477 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 9: called it? 478 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 2: So they might bring it back. 479 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 9: They might bring it back. 480 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 2: Career where is it? 481 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 4: No? 482 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 9: Just no, well it's not being taken down to this 483 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 9: as some warehouse. Yes, so let's see how much this 484 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 9: is going to cost. 485 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, well I want an update tomorrow. I will.

It's now fourteen minutes away from six. 500 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 2: But donnadmo our Australia correspondent with US Live, Donna, good morning, 501 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 2: good morning to you. Now final days of the election campaign. 502 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 2: There is a roaring debate about the Welcome to Country. 503 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 13: Yes there is. This topic has really dominated the last 504 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 13: twenty four hours because Opposition leader Peter Dutton has a 505 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 13: very very strong position and he was asked about how 506 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 13: he felt about Welcome to Country that are performed by 507 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 13: an Indigenous elder and he says they should not be 508 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 13: conducted on an ZAC dab because most veterans did not 509 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 13: want them included. Now Dunnan's comments have really inflamed this 510 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 13: debate because what happened was the debates really developed since 511 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 13: far right Heckler's disrupted ceremonies at ANZAC Day's services in 512 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 13: Perth and Melbourne last Friday, and so both obviously Dutton 513 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 13: and the Prime Minister condemned those agitators and that included 514 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 13: no Neo Nazis that had disrupted these services. So Dutton's 515 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 13: really latched onto this now and has taken this really 516 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 13: strong stance and is asked about it yesterday on a 517 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 13: couple of occasions in fact, as he continued his campaigning, 518 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 13: but he's also criticized Quantus's practice of acknowledging Indigenous land 519 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 13: on its flights. He says they're over the top, and 520 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 13: that's when he also added that he doesn't think that 521 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,640 Speaker 13: the Anzac Day dawn service should have welcomed to country. 522 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 13: In the meantime, the Prime Minister has simply said that 523 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 13: welcome to country ceremonies are a sign of respect, but 524 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 13: he also says that they should be held at the 525 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 13: discretion of event organizers. So people are just interested to 526 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 13: hear what the leaders feel and how they feel about 527 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 13: this welcome to country ceremony. 528 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 2: Which way do you think public opinion is going to 529 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 2: go on that, Donner? 530 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 13: It's really hard to tell, as you can imagine, but 531 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 13: it was just interesting that it dominated. I mean, you know, 532 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 13: we've got so many other things that people wanted to 533 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 13: discuss up until that point, but it just seemed that 534 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 13: people were very, very focused on the position that the 535 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 13: leaders had taken on welcome to Country, which I thought 536 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 13: was interesting. 537 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 2: It is and you got this coronal in quest underway 538 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 2: into the Bondi stabbings. 539 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,479 Speaker 13: Oh yes, well, the colonial inquest into what happened at 540 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 13: Westfield Bondi Junction, that stabbing attack that killed six people, 541 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 13: and we heard on the first day. It's a five 542 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 13: week in quest, but we heard on the first day 543 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 13: that the man behind it had actually been well. He 544 00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 13: had severe mental illness and that had gone untreated, and 545 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 13: that he had also attempted to access guns. In twenty 546 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 13: twenty one we heard from the council assisting the Bondi 547 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 13: Junction inquest and she also said that he was effectively unmedicated. 548 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,400 Speaker 13: He was diagnosed with schizophrenia as a teenager and unmonitored 549 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 13: for about five years before his death. Today they're going 550 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 13: to hear from the New South Wales Police inspector Amy Scott, 551 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 13: who shot dead that forty year old Joel COUCHI goodness. 552 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 2: Mate, Donna, thank you for that. Good to have you 553 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,199 Speaker 2: on the show, has always Don and Tomorow our Australia correspondent. 554 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,159 Speaker 2: It is eleven minutes away from six Ryan Bridge. So 555 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 2: the government giving reputable builders, plumbers, drain layers the power 556 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 2: to basically mark their own homework, inspect their own work. 557 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 2: The goal is to cut down inspection wait times and 558 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 2: kit sharma Master builders with us this morning, and Kirk, 559 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 2: good morning, Good morning man, Good to have you on 560 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 2: the show. How do you define a reputable builder, plumber, 561 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 2: drain layer? 562 00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 14: The definition I think the government was indicating yesterday for 563 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 14: self certification as reputed builders who are building at scale, 564 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 14: building simple law risk homes and are using repeatable designs. 565 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 2: How do you because I guess this is the problem, right, 566 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 2: You want it to be sped up, you want it 567 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 2: to be easier, but you also want to stop some 568 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 2: dodgy builder or plumber from cutting corners, doing a shoddy job, 569 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 2: and then marking their own homework. How do you do that? 570 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 14: That's a very good point. So I think what we 571 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 14: have been saying is we need a very smart and 572 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 14: targeted reform to reduce the compliance burden on simple law 573 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 14: risk homes without compromising on quality or consumer protections. So 574 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 14: there are a lot of things we can do to 575 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 14: enable that. So one is to restrict this to only 576 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 14: simple law risk bills. Second, to have a very strict 577 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 14: criteria on building professionals who can self certify and continue 578 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 14: some monitoring regime around that third to have some mandatory 579 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 14: runs requirements thoughts you can incorporate random inspections to ensure 580 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 14: quality management. Therese are quite a big piece we have 581 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 14: been talking about, which is to use technology solutions like 582 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 14: virtual remote inspections to ensure their photographic evidence of self 583 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 14: certification is submitted, so then risk assessment can be performed 584 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 14: and we can do some spot checks. And the final 585 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 14: is to strengthening the LBP scheme. So we obviously need 586 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 14: to see more details around all these areas, but if 587 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 14: they're implemented well, they will enable productivity gains without compromising 588 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 14: on quality or consumer. 589 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 2: Protection because I guess the thing is, the reality is 590 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 2: you will know who the dodgy builders are, or you 591 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 2: will at least know who the good builders are, right, 592 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 2: so can you will you have some say or who 593 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 2: will decide who the good ones are and who the 594 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 2: bad ones are. 595 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 14: I think there's a consultation happening where we are providing 596 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 14: an input on what their criteria should be, and I 597 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 14: think others in the industry will provide that. Internet government 598 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 14: has a view too, So I have a feeling that 599 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 14: after they've announced, they will now go through a consultation 600 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 14: process where we and others were quite input onto how 601 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 14: do you do this, because what we are trying to 602 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 14: do is we're trying to kind of improve. We're trying 603 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 14: to look at the low hanging food we have within 604 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 14: our industry to improve some productivity. And the low hanging 605 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 14: food is to reduce a compliance burden on simple, low 606 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 14: risk homes. And if you do this well, it'll bring 607 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 14: more lower cost homes in the market cheaper and address 608 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 14: housing affordability. It will free up counsel to focus more 609 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 14: on high risk projects and reduce inspection times. And also 610 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 14: I think increase adoption of technology like virtual the more inspection. 611 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 14: And it's a lot of positives. 612 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 2: Or they sound it's good. No, it sounds good, and 613 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 2: I want you to get in there and I want 614 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 2: you to tell them who were the goodies and who 615 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 2: were the baddies because that really is when it comes 616 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 2: down to it, what is going to make will break 617 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 2: this new policy?
