00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty four on the early edition with Smith City,

3
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: New Zealand's furniture beds and a play a store News Dogs.

4
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 2: It'd be good morning, New Zealand. It is six after

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 2: five as you are waking up this morning. It's great

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 2: to be with you coming up on this show in

00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 2: the next hour. They giveth with one hand and they

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 2: taketh with the other. Tax cuts kick in today, which

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 2: is great news. But if you are a homeowner, rates

10
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 2: rises some more than twenty percent are coming your way

11
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 2: and will probably wipe out any benefit from a tax cut.

12
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: You get local government New Zealand on why before six

13
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 2: and medals. They giveth with one hand, the women's sevens

00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: this morning. Look to take gold or silver. At least

15
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: we'll get a medal. We'll keep you up to date

16
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: with that live throughout the morning. But have they taketh

17
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,080

00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 2: New Zealand is just over an hour away from receiving

21
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 2: our first medal. In the Olympics. The Kiwi women sevens

22
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: are facing Canada cheats and the final and just under

23
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 2: forty five minutes time after beating the United States earlier

24
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 2: this morning.

25
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 3: I'm excited we get to play in an Olympic final

26
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 3: round sixty five thousand people, which is pretty incredible.

27
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 4: And sec you're in New Zealand's first Olympic medal.

28
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 3: Oh, it's yeah, that'll be amazing for the team turns.

29
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 3: We're going for the one color.

30
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: The beautiful emotion in that voice. The sevens are guaranteed

31
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: a silver medal at least gold if they win. We'll

32
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: have the latest for you live throughout the show. That's game,

33
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: by the way, starts five forty five this morning. Protests

34
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: are underway in the Venezuelan capital of Caracas after President

35
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: Nicholas Maduro claimed victory in the country's election. People around

36
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: me are on our microphone that they want freedom and

37
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: that they want to leave the street to until Nikolas

38
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 2: Maduro is ousted. The opposition party has disputed the results,

39
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: saying that their candidate, ed Mondo Gonzalez, has clearly won.

40
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: The polls leading up to the election indicated a potential

41
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: win for him. Maduro has been in power since twenty

42
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: thirteen and in that time, get this, he has overseen

43
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 2: an economic meltdown to the point that seven point seven

44
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: million Venezuelans have left the country looking for work elsewhere.

45
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: That's a quarter of their population, a quarter back here.

46
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 2: Tax cuts are coming into force today for about three

47
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: and a half million people. We will see less tax

48
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: going out on our next pays. But whether they will

49
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 2: make that will make a difference for households, well, it's

50
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: to be debated. People are filling the squeeze. Those on

51
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: the lowest incomes will only be taking in four dollars

52
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 2: fifty extra a week. The opposition leader, Chris Hipkins says

53
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: we should be spending the money on things like health,

54
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: education and infrastructure.

55
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: News and views You trust to start your day's Billy

56
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture

57
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: beds and a flying store. You's talk said the We'd.

58
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: Love to hear from you this morning. Nine two ninety

59
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 2: two is the number to text very quickly. Everyone's talking

60
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: about the River Sin and how filthy it is. In fact,

61
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: I think I just heard Andrew Alderson in Sport call

62
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: it the filth level of the sin. It's filled with

63
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: the coal ie because it rained on the weekend essentially,

64
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: and so they've had to cancel it. They will do

65
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: another check three o'clock roughly this afternoon our time, and

66
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: then the men will have to go after the women.

67
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: So the men go eight am local time and we go.

68
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: The men would go eight forty five am local time.

69
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 2: I'm just wondering, and I know this is probably not

70
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: the right thing to say, but if you're you're an Olympian,

71
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: You've been training for what is it now, three years

72
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: for these games. You've put your heart and your soul

73
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: and all of your effort into this. And if swimming

74
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: is your strong suit and they cancel the swimming leg,

75
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 2: wouldn't you just swim in the river anyway? I mean, look,

76
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: it's a bit of a coal lie. You'll be sick

77
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: for a couple of days. But if it's sickness or

78
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: missing out on your chance at gold, wouldn't you go

79
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: for sickness? I think I would. Hey something to watch

80
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 2: for tonight the Federal Reserve in the United States, there

81
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: is a crunch meeting which will happen tonight on rate cuts.

82
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: Why do we care about this? While the biggest economy

83
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: in the world and what happens there matters to us.

84
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 2: They are expected to hold the rate at five point

85
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 2: twenty five to five point five percent. This is the

86
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: short term rate, but they will set a timetable the

87
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 2: pundits reckon for a series of cuts from September, hopefully

88
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: which will start to push things up. Obviously, they're going

89
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: to have to look at their inflation rate. The one

90
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: to watch in the United States tonight and ours, excuse me,

91
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: our next rate check in with our Reserve Bank is

92
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: the fourteenth of August. That's exactly two weeks away from now.

93
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: Now very quickly, I thought I would bring up to

94
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 2: speed on Kamala Harris. She has now raked in three

95
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: hundred and forty million New Zealand dollars in fundraising donations

96
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 2: since she got the not well, she hasn't even got

97
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: the nomination yet. Their Chicago convention is next month, but

98
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: lots of celebrities have gone and donated money through a

99
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 2: zoom call that was called white Duds for Harris. They

100
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: apparently raised former than US dollars. There's a really interesting

101
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: guy called Alan Lickman, and I'm hoping to get him

102
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 2: on the show tomorrow. He has correctly predicted nine of

103
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 2: the last ten US elections using a series of yes,

104
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 2: no question answers. Thirteen of them. He calls them his

105
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: keys to the White House, things like is it the

106
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: incumbent leader? Is there a third party involved? What does

107
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 2: the economy look like? Those sorts of things. Anyway, he

108
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: correctly predicted the one that was unpredictable, which was Trump

109
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 2: beating Hillary in twenty sixteen.

110
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 5: It's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of

111
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 5: Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in

112
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 5: our country, because you'd be in jail.

113
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 6: Secretary Quinton.

114
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a funny. It was a funny election,

115
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: and the pole said that she would win. He won.

116
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 2: So this guy gets it right. And I'll tell you

117
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 2: just after five point thirty this morning what he says

118
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: about this election. It is twelve after five.

119
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth

120
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New

Speaker 1: Zealand's furniture, beds and a playing store. News Talk said.

122
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 2: Be fourteen minutes after five on news Talk said, be

123
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: lots of feedback coming, and already this one from one

124
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: of our listeners, Ryan It's a bit rich for Chris

125
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: Hipkins bleting on about government policies when all the hardships

126
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 2: we're currently experiencing are wholly caused by their reckless overspending.

127
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 2: It has just gone quarter pass now the governments introducing

128
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 2: harsh rule for overseas online casinos. This while also allowing

129
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: them to advertise here. A limited number of licenses will

130
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: be available for three year terms, and the operators will

131
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: be required to meet certain standards before they can offer services.

132
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 2: Andre Food is with the Problem Gambling Foundation. She's with

133
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: me this morning, Andrew, thank you for being here. I

134
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 2: wonder with online hello, I wonder with online gambling, is

135
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 2: it actually just too hard to regulate? Period?

136
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 7: But that's a really good question. I know that around

137
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 7: the world, you know, regulators have battled with this because

138
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 7: there are so many operators out there. But regulation is

139
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 7: the right approach, and we totally agree with regulation and

140
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 7: having a licensing system.

141
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 4: But obviously there's a.

142
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 7: Lot more detail to come yet, and we want to

143
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 7: make sure that there's really robust harmonimization and consumer protection

144
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 7: at the forefront of any approach to this regulation.

145
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: Because if you are a problem gambler and you really

146
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 2: want to gamble online, you I mean, where there's a will,

147
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,559
Speaker 2: there's a way. Surely you'll get a VPN, you'll work

148
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,679
Speaker 2: around our laws in New Zealand.

149
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 7: Well, it's not illegal for New Zealanders to gamble on

150
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 7: these sites. And what people don't generally understand is that

151
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 7: they're not protected by New Zealand law. So while they

152
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 7: can gamble on these sites, you know, if something happened

153
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 7: they couldn't get their money out or whatever the situation

154
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 7: might be, they don't they're not protected by our laws

155
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 7: and our Gambling Act.

156
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 2: And so these changes, they're going to be able to

157
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 2: advertise legally in New Zealand. Now, yes, yeah, so, because

158
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 2: I mean I get fed ads that are you know,

159
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 2: for gambling things, and when you go online. I think

160
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 2: everybody gets that through Google or whatever it is. Do

161
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: you think we're going to see more ads now that

162
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 2: it's legal or do you think it will just be

163
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 2: the same.

164
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 7: Look, we've been absolutely bombarded with ads in this country

165
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 7: and a lot of that has been because this market

166
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 7: here is largely unregulated. You know, in terms of online

167
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 7: gambling regulation. Where about the last country, you know, the

168
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 7: last cab off the rank in terms of that, so

169
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 7: we have been targeted. Even though it is illegal for

170
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 7: the advertising of online of overseas online gambling, at the moment,

171
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 7: we've still seen these ads. As you said, you know

172
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 7: social media, they're everywhere, so yes, we will see more

173
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 7: of it. But what we do hope is well, we'd

174
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 7: really like to see the advertising of gambling band completely.

175
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 7: But if that's not going to happen, we really really

176
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 7: need to see strict measures in place to limit the

177
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 7: volume of advertising and put restrictions around the time when

178
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 7: gambling can be advertised. I mean it's age restricted. We

179
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 7: don't see ads on TV during peak time when children

180
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 7: might be watching, for example, with advertising or certainly not tobacco,

181
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 7: so gambling is no different and we need to see

182
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 7: much tougher restrictions around that.

183
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 2: Andrew, thank you very much for your time this morning.

184
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 2: That's Andrew Freud, the Problem Gambling Foundation, about the government's

185
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 2: introducing introduction I should say of harsher rules for overseas

186
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 2: online casinos, but also allowing them to advertise. Here it

187
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 2: is eighteen after five. We're live to Paris.

188
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: Next the first Word on the News of the Day

189
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: Early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City New Zealand's

190
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: furniture beds and a player store.

191
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 2: News Talk ZEDB twenty outter five News talks zi'd be

192
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 2: Ryan councils. This is from Grant Councils need to rein

193
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 2: it in. It is disgusting how they just keep putting

194
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: rates up and up and up. People cannot afford to

195
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 2: keep these counselors in jobs. Well. Local government New Zealand

196
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 2: is heading back at some of the accusations about overspending

197
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 2: and some of the reasons for it, talking to them

198
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 2: just before six twenty one after five now the men's well,

199
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: that means we are less than half an hour away

200
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: from our first medal at the Olympics. It'll either be

201
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 2: a silver or gold from the women's seventeen seven's team

202
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: the men's triathlon, while meanwhile at the Olympics has been

203
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 2: postponed at the last minute due to the water quality.

204
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 4: In the river.

205
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 2: Senn Hayden Wild and Dylan McCulloch were due to compete

206
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 2: forour New Zealand at six o'clock last night our time.

207
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 2: That's now moved to eight forty five pm our time today.

208
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 2: Hopefully they will be competing, but there are more checks

209
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 2: on the river's water quality to come. Joining me now

210
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 2: is Herald Sports supporter Michael Burgess, who is in Paris

211
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 2: for us. Good morning, good evening, afternoon to you, Michael,

212
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 2: tell us what's happening with the river.

213
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's a big question, i'd say for a lot

214
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 8: of people, because we really don't know. I mean, what

215
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 8: I can tell you is that they've basically got three

216
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 8: more days to sort this out. Friday, as far as

217
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 8: we know, is the last day they could hold the

218
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 8: men's triathlon in the river. That's sort of their final day.

219
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 8: If they can't, it'll have to be a duathlon where

220
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 8: it's just the bike and the run. So they've got

221
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 8: a couple more days to sort it out. But yeah,

222
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 8: this morning Paris time is really unfortunate, especially for the athletes.

223
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 2: You mentioned.

224
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 8: They woke up about five am because they're expecting a

225
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 8: race that starts at eight am, and they wake up,

226
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 8: set their alarm, and then they get the news on

227
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 8: their phone that oh, it's postponed. So that's really tough

228
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 8: for them, I imagine, because you know you're wanting to

229
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 8: sleep well then to perform. You wake up all excited

230
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 8: and the races and on. But basically there's still some

231
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 8: worries about the level of bacteria in the river. Even

232
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 8: though the French government spent one point four billion euros

233
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 8: on cleaning it up, it's not quite meeting the standard

234
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 8: of World Triathlon. So organizers are saying, look, there's been

235
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 8: a bit of rain, that's the issue. But it's been

236
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 8: sunny the last few days, so it should be fine

237
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 8: for tomorrow. As you said, the race forty five pm

238
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 8: New Zealand time, it should be fine. But we still

239
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 8: just don't know.

240
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 2: They must be nervous recks. I mean, waking up every

241
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 2: morning and we're going to bed first of all, not

242
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 2: knowing if you're going to race tomorrow or not. It

243
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 2: must be hard. If they do go to a girafthon,

244
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 2: would that benefit Hayden Wild is swimming his strong suit

245
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 2: or is that one of his weaker parts of the race,

246
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: And is anyone thinking there to hell with it, let's

247
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 2: just swim with the coal II because you know I

248
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: would rather be sick with a gold medal.

249
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 8: That's a good point, actually, right, because you're only going

250
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 8: to get sick later, aren't. You're not going to get

251
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 8: sick straight away. You know, you get sick a few

252
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 8: days later, So I guess there's a point where you

253
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 8: could you could always take that gamble. It's a good question,

254
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 8: you pose. I asked Hayden about that, you know, before

255
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 8: the Olympics, and yeah, it would help him. It would

256
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 8: help him if there was no swim, because he is

257
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 8: so good on the run and the bike, so he's

258
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 8: still good in the water, but he's really good in

259
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 8: the other two legs, so you take this warm out,

260
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 8: it only helps him. So it's only a good thing

261
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 8: in a way. But he also made an interesting point.

262
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 8: He said he wouldn't really like, you know, there'd be

263
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 8: a funny feeling about competing in a trithon at the

264
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 8: Olympics and maybe winning a medal, but it's not a trithlon.

265
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 8: Does it always be an asterisk attached to that? So

266
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 8: I'm sure he that's definitely not his preference. And as

267
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 8: you say, I can't imagine what these athletes are going

268
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 8: through because they've waited four years or three years for this,

269
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 8: and I'm.

270
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 2: Not sure when they're going to compete. No, and after

271
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 2: a billion dollars, you've still got a filthy river. Michael,

272
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 2: thank you very much for being with us this morning.

273
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 2: It's Michael Burgess, the Herald sports supporter in Paris, and

274
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 2: I can tell you that the Americans have just taken

275
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 2: bronze in the women's sevens competition.

276
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: Separating the fact from the fiction. Gad's Billing Edition with Smith's,

277
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: The New Zealand's Furniture Beds and Appliant Store News.

278
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 2: Talk ZBI twenty seven after five income tax cuts kicking

279
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 2: for us, today, ninety four percent of us will get

280
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 2: a few extra bucks. Will it be swallowed up by

281
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 2: your mortgage or your insurance going up or your rates? Probably?

282
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 2: But better we get the money and decide what to

283
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 2: do with it than the politicians. Right. Also, today MPs

284
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 2: gets their first pay rise since twenty seventeen. And watch

285
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 2: closely watch those particularly who shout the loudest about equality

286
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 2: and fairness and justice and all those good things. Do

287
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 2: they put their money where their mouth is? Today Chris

288
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 2: Luxen for his sins, and I assume it's to stave

289
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 2: off the inevitable media storm about he's rich, he's hit,

290
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 2: he's got seven houses. He has promised to donate his

291
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 2: full tax cut twenty bucks a week to charity. Also,

292
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 2: the increase in his pay to Charity Hipkins. What's happening

293
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 2: over at Labor HQ. Well, Labor has apparently emailed their

294
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 2: supporters asking for the tax cut to be donated. It

295
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 2: sounds good not to women's refuge or kids can but

296
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 2: to labor. Yes, take your tax cut and give it

297
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 2: to labor to quote, really help create the better future

298
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: altered our needs? Shameless? And what about the Greens? Where

299
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 2: do they stand on this? What gesture are they making?

300
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 2: By their own estimates, they are the wealthy elite. Many

301
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 2: of them own homes. They are on salaries of more

302
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 2: than one hundred and seventy thousand bucks a year. They're

303
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 2: getting a close to three percent pay rise backdated to

304
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 2: last October, I might add, and Chloe Swarbrick, as the

305
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 2: co leader, will now get a nice bump to her

306
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 2: salary for that too. She'll be on well over two

307
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 2: hundred k. Where are the pledges to donate, madam and

308
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 2: Chloe fl Where are they? These tax cuts, according to

309
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 2: you guys, are cruel and dangerous and a national disgrace.

310
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 2: They benefit the wealthy elites. So the question is what

331
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 2: about that. Also, this morning we've been talking about the

332
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 2: River sen and how filthy it is, and lots of

333
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 2: you are saying you don't think it would be right

334
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 2: to hold the competition as adiwathlon. It just wouldn't be fair.

335
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 2: If swimming was your leg and they take the swim

336
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 2: out and you beat that person, does that feel fair?

337
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 2: Kathy says no. Another says this is a disgusting bureaucratic mess.

338
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 2: This is Don Don's fight up. Ryan. It's not bloody

339
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 2: rocket science, is it. The river is contaminated. It was

340
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 2: before the Olympics. You add the tens of thousands more

341
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 2: people and they're sewage populating Paris for the Games. The

342
00:18:55,560 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 2: river can only be filthy. Typical, shiny assed brea ignorance

343
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 2: to have the triathlon where it is. Sack the clowns

344
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 2: that came up with that idea. Don, you're not minsing

345
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 2: your words. Good morning to you. Twenty three away.

346
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: From sax Ryan Bridge.

347
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 2: We're going to Dunedin Cullum Proctors with us Callum Queenstown.

348
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 2: You're talking about house prices. What's going on?

349
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 11: Well, it's more expensive than ever Ryan to buy a

350
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 11: house in Queenstown. The new one roof figures are out

351
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 11: which show the average property value in Queenstown has hit

352
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 11: a new peak of just over two million dollars for

353
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 11: the average property value, it's a fifty percent increase on

354
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 11: twenty nineteen one. Roof's editor Owen Vaughan says there was

355
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 11: doubt the tourist town whatever recover from the price drop

356
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 11: after the COVID lockdowns, but he says, apart from a

357
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 11: small blit last year, prices have kept climbing in the

358
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 11: tourist resort. Meanwhile, the national average has dropped to nine

359
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 11: hundred and sixty two.

360
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 2: Thousand and weather in Dunedin today Callum chowers ease this afternoon.

361
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 11: Easterly is easing as well, but the high still just

362
00:19:58,520 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 11: six today.

363
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 2: Thank you. We're in christ Church with Blake. Benny. Now, Blake,

364
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 2: how's the reaction been to that news. It's hard to

365
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 2: describe it as good news, but that police have found

366
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 2: the body of Jan Febaum.

367
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 10: Yes, so it's a bit of a sense of comfort

368
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 10: for both police and family. So, of course, as you say,

369
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 10: human remains believed to be Bowers were found at a

370
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 10: green Park property yesterday, discovered in a one hundred and

371
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 10: fifty milimeters deep grave along a tree line. So that

372
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 10: discovery came after new information led around sixty police searches

373
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 10: to the area and of course, follows the one year

374
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 10: anniversary of the forty four year old's disappearance just weeks ago.

375
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 10: A detective inspector, Nikola Reeves says they will now conduct

376
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 10: a scene examination and post mortem. She says it's satisfying

377
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 10: and comforting that police can give answers to Bao's family

378
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 10: that they couldn't previously. A trial for Boos murder accused

379
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 10: remained set for October.

380
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 2: Weather Blake, It's.

381
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 10: Going to be a rainy day down here in christ

382
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 10: Church with fresh southeasterlies, which will eyes this afternoon a

383
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 10: high of seven.

384
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 2: Thank you Max Tols and Wellington Max. The council chief

385
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 2: executives go on.

386
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, from what we've seen during Mayor Tori t Firfano's tenure,

387
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 9: perhaps the most important person in local politics and Wellington

388
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 9: is quitting at the end of her current contract. Barbara

389
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 9: Mcero leaving that chief executive role in March, not to

390
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 9: anything specific at this stage, just to pursue other interests.

391
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 9: As she says, we did a rip around of councilors

392
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 9: last night. No one seems to know why, but there

393
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 9: has certainly been increasing pressure on Mcerro this and last

394
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,719
Speaker 9: year around infrastructure water around the council being perceived as

395
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 9: anti business around withholding ratepayer funded information from councilors. Regarding

396
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 9: that very controversial airport share sale that she lobbied hard for.

397
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 9: That's a vote that could likely be reversed with several

398
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 9: councilors changing their mind. She probably would not have got

399
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 9: the numbers in a council vote for another term. A

400
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 9: good chance she's just had enough.

401
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 2: Goodness, mate, heaven't the right payers too mix with it today?

402
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 9: Rubbish rain heavy at times strong Southerly's h I have ten.

403
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 2: Brilliant thank you. Neither is in the studio. Hey, you're watching.

404
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 2: You've got one eye on the seventh smatch, haven't you.

405
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 12: I'm so excited.

406
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 2: I can see it on his face.

407
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 4: Yes, and I.

408
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 12: Must go out there in the music. Was going to

409
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 12: put the chairs out, get the snacks ready, you've got snacks. Well,

410
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 12: we don't have very many snacks, so it's just the

411
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 12: special people that will be able to get the nuts.

412
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 12: You're one of those special people. You're on my list.

413
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 6: It's good to hear.

414
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 2: Hey very quickly. Smith and Coey's. It's obviously plans to

415
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 2: close it, but there is one green shoot of hope.

416
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 12: That's right. There's a bit of a glimmer here. So

417
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 12: the company announced it's now weighing up two options over

418
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 12: its future. So it does include, as you say, the

419
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 12: original proposal this was to shut up shop nearly twenty

420
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 12: twenty five, as we all know. But a second one

421
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 12: just have a smaller presence in Queen Street, in that

422
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 12: Queen Street building with enhanced online offerings from February. It

423
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 12: still means that the newmarket shop will close. So what

424
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 12: we know now is that the cheer Tony Coey, he's

425
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 12: going to make a decision about this. Whether that will

426
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 12: happen by the end of next week.

427
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 2: Interesting, hopefully they can save something. How weather in Auckland.

428
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 12: Today down with a feather. It's a mixed bag today.

429
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 3: Mixed bag, I say.

430
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 12: We've got fine spells, isolated showers, morning fog pictures, showers

431
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 12: increasing from afternoon, heavy thunderstorms possible. Are high of seventeen.

432
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 12: Oh my gosh.

433
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 2: The Canadians are doing their Is it Canadians, aren't they?

434
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 12: It's the Canadians.

435
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 2: They're doing their anthem at the moment for the women's

436
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 2: sevens over in the Olympics.

437
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 12: I must go get my snake, do you they're cheatings,

438
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 12: so they are cheating.

439
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: I'll probably get gold just because they've cheated somehow.

440
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 12: Keep saying that because they won't Yep, I think they're

441
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 12: going to win just because they're cheats.

442
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 10: Yeah.

443
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 2: Everyone thinks Canadians are so nice, don't they. I don't

444
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 2: think they're nice people. I think they're horrible little creatures.

445
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 12: Have you been to Canada?

446
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 2: Well no, I haven't. To be fair, I've seen enough

447
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 2: on the TV to say what you mean. People think

448
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 2: they're nice, just but it's because they live next to

449
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 2: the Americans. Ah, you know anyone would look good next

450
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 2: to them.

451
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 3: Well, here we are.

478
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 2: nine of the last ten. I'll get to that in

479
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 2: a second right now. Gavin Gray, our UK Europe correspondent,

480
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 2: is with us very quickly. What did you say, Leo?

481
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 2: Someone scored a try I think we might have scored

482
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 2: a try in the women's sevens. Anyway, we'll give you

483
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 2: some audio shortly. UK police continue to question that seventeen

484
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 2: year old man after three children were killed, seven and

485
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 2: others left critically injured after a stabbing Gavin.

486
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 13: Best toll increased by one, with one of the young

487
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 13: girls dying in hospital this morning, and we now know

488
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 13: the names and ages of the three victims, a nine

489
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 13: year old, a seven year old and a six year

490
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 13: old attacked at this Taylor Swift themed event in Southport

491
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 13: in northwest of England. At least five children and two

492
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 13: adults also very very seriously injured. They remain in critical condition.

493
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 13: Police are saying it's a seventeen year old boy they

494
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 13: believe is arrested on suspicion of murder, and it's being

495
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 13: reported that the teenage suspect, whose parents are from Rwanda,

496
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 13: was born in Cardiff and moved to that area of

497
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 13: Southport about a decade ago. Currently, there is a vigil

498
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 13: going on at the site, hundreds if not thousands of

499
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 13: people attending there with lots of flowers marking the spot

500
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 13: where the attack took place, and also Taylor Swift that

501
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 13: she's completely in shock after the horror of the knife attack.

502
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 13: Her fans have raised more than four hundred thousand New

503
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 13: Zealand dollars for the families of the victims.

504
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 2: That's just awful, Gevin, thank you for that update. That's

505
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 2: our UK in Europe correspondent Devin Gray with us. It's

506
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 2: just gone twelve minutes away from six rain Bridge. Right.

507
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 2: We have some audio for you now. The black Ferns

508
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 2: are competing for well, we hope it's a gold medal.

509
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 2: They will definitely get a medal, either silver or gold.

510
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 2: Here's the latest from Paris.

511
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 14: They're running ball for New Zealand. Poorty Lane that we

512
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 14: start a step looking to link up Party Lane, through

513
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 14: the line racy Porty Lane. Put the foot down and

514
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 14: racy Porty Lane. We'll put New Zealand up five mil.

515
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 2: This is the gold medal match. We got the conversion,

516
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 2: so currently seven nil to New Zealand. Right and back here,

517
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 2: double digit rate rises. You would have seen this. If

518
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 2: you live in say, Hamilton, you got nineteen point nine

519
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 2: percent increases. Wellington you're getting about sixteen percent to need

520
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 2: in seventeen and a half percent. It hurts, right, and

521
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 2: there are big issues like infrastructure and climate resilience that

522
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 2: need to be paid for. But a new report out

523
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,160
Speaker 2: this morning from Local Government New Zealand and nzier say

524
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 2: is that government policy changes are costing council's millions. They

525
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 2: say that one size fit all policies from central government

526
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 2: don't consider the impact and the cost for local government.

527
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 2: It's death by a thousand cuts. Joining me this morning,

528
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 2: Campbell Barry, Vice President of Local Government New Zealand and

529
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 2: Lower Hut Mayor Campbell, thanks for being with me. Can

530
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 2: you give us an example of one of these issues

531
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,199
Speaker 2: that central throws onto you and you guys have to

532
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 2: pay for.

533
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, good morning. The best example I can give you

534
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,959
Speaker 4: is the speed restriction changes that were brought in by

535
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 4: the previous government for us at a Lower Hut that

536
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 4: cost US five hundred and seventy thousand over three years

537
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 4: to implement. We're now being told by the new government

538
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 4: to reverse that or to go through a process to

539
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 4: confirm our position, which will cost another five hundred and

540
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 4: seventy thousand dollars over three years to implement. In my mind,

541
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,719
Speaker 4: that's just the definition of insanity and a waste of money.

542
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 2: That's madness. Can you not just why does it cost

543
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 2: so much to change speeds? Can you not just rip

544
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 2: the old signs down?

545
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,479
Speaker 4: Basically, the National Policy Statement in that space, or the

546
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 4: policy that the government put forward, requires us to go

547
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 4: through a certain process and implementation. Then there's a range

548
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 4: of different things that's part of it.

549
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 2: I mean, that's incredibly frustrating. I feel immediately annoyed just

550
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 2: hearing you say it, and what a waste. So do

551
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 2: you what are you asking for that? When government makes

552
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 2: changes like this, they actually cost it and then reimburse you.

553
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, they should fund it. We need to put an

554
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 4: end to unfunded mandates. They are having a serious impact

555
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 4: on the bottom line, either they contribute towards the rate

556
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 4: increases that we're seeing or simply councils suck it up.

557
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 4: They absorbed that cost, and it means that there's an

558
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 4: impact on services and other places which communities are expecting

559
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 4: us to do things. So another example I could give

560
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 4: you is the National Policy Statement on Urban Development seven

561
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty thousand dollars for us to employment and

562
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 4: also delayed our full district flan review by eighteen months,

563
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 4: which had a number of other fly on effects. We

564
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 4: could go on all day and councils have been feeling

565
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 4: this for decades.

566
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 2: Do you have a total figure? Have you worked out

567
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 2: how much these death by a thousand cuts changes are

568
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 2: costing local government in total?

569
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 4: What the report found? It was really difficult to put

570
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 4: a number on that, but it undoubtedly is in the

571
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 4: tens of millions. We know it's a lot. The reason

572
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 4: for not being able to put a number on it

573
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 4: is because so often councils just suck it up, They

574
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 4: absorbed that cost and it has an impact on other

575
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 4: areas of council services. So we don't necessarily we aren't

576
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 4: exactly able to point to it, but there are a

577
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 4: number of anecdotal examples which councils could give you of

578
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 4: this happening over such a long period of time.

579
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 2: All right, thanks so much for your time this morning.

580
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 2: Campbell Barry with us from Local Government, New Zealand. Eight

581
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 2: minutes away from six. Apparently we've just got a yellow

582
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 2: card in the women's sevens game.

583
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 14: Heaviless Cherry Williams was going low into the tackle play by.

584
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: New Zealand number eleven.

585
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 13: This contact with the head there is mitigation of my

586
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 13: recommendation as a yellow card.

587
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 14: So yellow cards and New Zealand without portioning Woodmen Whittler

588
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 14: for two minutes, closing in on halftime.

589
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 2: That's portion Woodman has been given a yellow card. The

590
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 2: score remains seven ZERL New Zealand up on Canada. This

591
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 2: is a gold medal match back with Mike Hosking in

592
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 2: a second on.

593
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: Your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with Ryan

594
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and a

595
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: playing store news talk zid.

596
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 2: Be Good Morning New Zealand. It is six minutes away

597
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 2: from six. Some bad news. Canada has just scored twice,

598
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 2: meaning though we are now he'd had he a listen.

599
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 2: This is the first try.

600
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 14: Apps gets past Herony, drags off a couple other defenders,

601
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,719
Speaker 14: pops up a pass and Canada I King of responds.

602
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 14: Chloe Daniels scores under the sticks for.

603
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 2: Canada, and they got another one after that intercepting a pass. Yeah,

604
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 2: so currently the score is Mike Hoskins in the studio,

605
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 2: you're able to help me?

606
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 4: Is it?

607
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 2: Twelve?

608
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 5: Fourteen?

609
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 2: Seven? Fourteen seven?

610
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 5: I think they got the conversion?

611
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 2: Okay, fourteen. It's such a random.

612
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 5: Game, isn't it.

613
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 2: Sevens?

614
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 5: Have you watched a lot of sevens. I find that

615
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 5: I find the whole thing. Hang on, did they get

616
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 5: that we'll miss it?

617
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 2: This is that we're playing for our first medal here, this.

618
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 5: Is this is the unfortunate thing. The unfortunate thing here

619
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 5: is medals are so interesting, aren't they. So first of all,

620
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 5: we're all down at the moment because we haven't got any.

621
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 5: Now we're desperate. Then this unless we get a.

622
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 2: Gold, then as we will be pressed, isn't it.

623
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 5: So silver's not acceptable in women's sevens, and we were

624
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 5: expecting a goal from the men's seven so that's gone

625
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 5: TETs up as well. And so but then you get

626
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 5: somebody who you weren't expecting scrapes and for a bronze

627
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 5: and you go, oh my god, performance of a lifetime.

628
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 5: And then we're all collectively together.

629
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 2: As a nation.

630
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 5: So it just it depends on what the event is.

631
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 5: And that's before you get to this trick. We've got

632
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 5: the head of triathlon. I w heard you're talking about

633
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 5: it earlier.

634
00:32:58,640 --> 00:32:59,959
Speaker 2: It's unforgivable.

635
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 5: It is at the highest level of sport to go.

636
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 5: It could be try, it could be due. There's actually

637
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 5: quite a bit of a difference there is.

638
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 2: And also if you just think about those athletes going

639
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 2: to bed every night, the stress of it one hundred percent.

640
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 5: This is for many of these people, this is their

641
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,239
Speaker 5: moment in life and for you to go, look, I

642
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 5: know you're used to the five meter board, but today

643
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 5: it's it's the springboard. Because you know what I mean.

644
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 2: It's pathetic. It is pathetic.

645
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 5: Anyway, So who are you talking to. We're talking to

646
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 5: the head of triath well, I mean we're calling them

647
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 5: the head of triathlon. It might be the head of

648
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 5: du Flon by the time, by the time they wake

649
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 5: up and make that decision. Anyway, that another matters.

650
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 2: Is brilliant and we will have a result in the

651
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 2: next few minutes. Currently it is twelve seven Canada up

652
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,640
