Speaker 2: Us doorgs it'd be good morning. It is six after five.

5

Speaker 2: Great to have your company this Thursday morning, nineteen ninety

6
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 2: two is the number of text we'd love to hear

7
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 2: from you throughout the program. So Chetwyn is on about groceries.

8
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 2: Are we being ripped off? This perennial question and the

9
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: reports that never seem to quite answer it or at

10
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 2: least fix it. Mitch McCann is with us from the

11
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: US New polls out from CNN this morning on the

12
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,960

14
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 2: He'll be with us just before five thirty. Right now,

15
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: seven after five.

16
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 3: The agenda.

17
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: And it is Thursday, the fifth of September. More than

18
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: seven years after the UK's Grenfell Tower fire that killed

19
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: seventy two people, Escaye report into how it happened has

20
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: been released. It's found the cladding manufacturer was aware of

21
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 2: the risk of the fire, which it deliberately concealed share

22
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: of the Grenfell Tower inquiry, Sir Martin Morbick, the dusks.

23
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 4: That occurred were all avoidable, and those who lived in

24
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 4: the tower were badly failed over a number of years

25
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 4: and in a number of different ways by those who

26
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 4: were responsible for ensuring the safety of the building and

27
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 4: its occupants.

28
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: That is bad. Police are investigating. The Pharmaceutical Society has

29
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 2: found an eighty percent increase in patients consulting pharmacists after

30
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 2: being unable to access a GP. It surveyed more than

31
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 2: four hundred members, also revealing over ninety percent of community

32
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: hospital pharmacies have experienced staff shortages, so you've got more

33
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: people coming fewer staff. President Michael Hammond says it's become

34
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: an unsustainable sector.

35
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 5: There's an urgent need for solutions to the understandable workload,

36
00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 5: the inadequate funding and the supply tamsation shortages. There conscious

37
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 5: no matter where they're working.

38
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: There you go this is bad news. Well is it

39
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: bad news? This is space news. European Space Agency says

40
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 2: an asteroids is expected to strike Earth's atmosphere near the

41
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: Philippines right about now. Leo Has it hit yet? Do

42
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: we know any reports of damage. Not unusual, apparently. It's

43
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: one meter in diameter spotted overnight. Asteroids of this size

44
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: usually hit our atmosphere around every two weeks apparently, but

45
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: this is only the ninth one to be spotted before

46
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: making entry.

47
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 3: The news you need this morning and the in depth

48
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New

49
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 3: Zealand's furniture beds and a flying store news talks.

50
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 2: It'd be I suppose we don't really care. Well, I mean,

51
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: we care, but it's not going to hit us, it's

52
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 2: going to hit the Philippines. If it's going to hit anywhere.

53
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 2: It's only one meter wide. Interesting though, that they've only

54
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: been able to spot nine of them before they hit earth.

55
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 2: I thought we'd be better than that. I thought, you know,

56
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: it's small. If it was bigger, would they know more?

57
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 2: I don't know. And yeah, surely surely you'd get more

58
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 2: than a few hours notice because they only spotted this

59
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 2: and a couple of hours before it hit anyway, I

60
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 2: digress nine two is the number to text if anyone's

61
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 2: seen any fireballs in the sky. Lots to talk about

62
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: this morning. Greta Thunburg has been arrested again this has

63
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 2: just come out of a Copenhagen. She was blocking the

64
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: entrance to a building with some of her friends. Actually,

65
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: we've got the audio of that. Leo, she's blocking the

66
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 2: entrance to a building, got arrested. It's not carbon that

67
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: she's complaining about this time.

68
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 6: You are hello, you are noll you ah, no, you.

69
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 7: Are no lo.

70
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. See, when you're a professional protester, that's what you do.

71
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: You move on to something else. So it's Palestine when

72
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 2: you know, the gas is not the big issue today,

73
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: fossil fuels, it's Palestine. So anyway, she's been arrested again

74
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: and along with six others from that group. In the US,

75
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 2: Biden is apparently about to accuse Russia of interfering in

76
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: their elections. Again. This is the election that hasn't even

77
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 2: happened yet. This is a CBS report. They reckon criminal

78
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 2: charges are coming and misinformation videos and content spread online

79
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: are the culprit. Honestly, if a country's so stupid that

80
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 2: some fake memes can throw a democratic election, haven't you

81
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: got bigger problems that's coming soon. Apparently we might ask

82
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: Mitch McCann about that as well. He'll be with us

83
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 2: just after the News at five point thirty this morning

84
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: at SISCNE eleven after five Brian back home here in

85
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 2: New Zealand. King You two hat will be laid to

86
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,239
Speaker 2: rest today in a ceremony from ten am. They'll also

87
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 2: announce the new leader, the new monarch of the king

88
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 2: Etanger movement. I have to say, what an incredible display

89
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: of loyalty and respect from the oratory on the Marye

90
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 2: to the traditions, the ceremony. It has been a beautiful

91
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: thing to watch. I have to say, the coffin lying

92
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: in state and everyone addressing the family around it, you know,

93
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 2: the stories of the deceased, and it's quite beautiful, quite beautiful.

94
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 2: I mean, And I know there be people saying, oh

95
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 2: well co governance and I mean, say what you want

96
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 2: about co governance and language and you know the role

97
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 2: of the treaty. They are valid debates to have. But

98
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 2: also this is a culture to be treasured and respected,

99
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 2: isn't it just gone? Twelve minutes after five? Back with

100
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: Sam Stubbs next.

101
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 6: Where did you want?

102
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 2: Told me you'll be days like this?

103
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 3: Get ahead of the headlines. Ryan Bridge You for twenty

104
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 3: twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's

105
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 3: furniture beds and a Planet store.

106
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 2: News Talk said be fourteen, after five calls, latest monthly

107
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: reporter is out on home values the Home Value Index.

108
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 2: It says that it's still weak. For August, values are

109
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: down point five percent nationally. That is the sixth consecutive

110
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 2: fall and they had to revise the data from last month,

111
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 2: which means that the total fall this is nationally, the

112
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 2: total fall since February three point seven percent nationally, or

113
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 2: around thirty one thousand dollars lower. So you probably should

114
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 2: feel on average thirty one thousand dollars poorer today than

115
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 2: you did in February fourteen. After five Ray and Bridge

116
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 2: press calls for Kiwi Saver changes, possibly meaning that your

117
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 2: boss could be on the hook to stump up some

118
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: more cash for your retirement. The Financial Services Council has

119
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 2: found one in five Kiwis don't have enough retirement savings

120
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,119
Speaker 2: to get them through the next year. Seventy nine percent

121
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 2: of us are currently using Kiwi Saver, which is good,

122
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 2: but we are not saving enough to be comfortable once

123
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 2: we are there. Sam Stubbs is the simplicity Kiwisa have

124
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 2: a fun founder. Sam, Good morning, Good morning, good to

125
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: have you on the show. Do you what changes do

126
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: we need to make? Is it? Is it the contributions?

127
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 2: Does it? Do we need more than seventy nine percent

128
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 2: of kiwis and KIWI saving?

129
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Look, I think I think two really big

130
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 5: changes that needed. Ryan. First of all is you know,

131
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 5: we're really getting to the point now where it has

132
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 5: to be compulsory. That's much more normal overseas, certainly the

133
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 5: case in Australia because you know, it's all very well,

134
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 5: that's seventy nine percent of saving, but those twenty one

135
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 5: percent will have you know, nothing or almost nothing when

136
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 5: they retire, and that ultimately means the taxpayers pay for

137
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 5: all of it as well. So we have to get

138
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 5: to compulsion and I think we're kind of heading in

139
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 5: that direction. The other one is the contributions have to

140
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 5: go up, you know, to give you another contrast, In

141
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 5: Australia people save on average about twelve percent of their salary.

142
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 5: In New Zealand it's half that. And in Australia it's

143
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 5: the employer who pays all of the contributions. The employed

144
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 5: doesn't pay anything. And we can get to that point, right,

145
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 5: I mean, I know it's taking money out of people's

146
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 5: pockets if you're basically making them save rather than spend

147
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 5: right now, because you can achieve that by just doing

148
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 5: it in very slow increments. In Australia it actually took

149
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 5: twelve years for them to get to twelve percent. It

150
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 5: might take a step long as well.

151
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 2: So you're ye percent a year because we're at what

152
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 2: the compulsory employer at the moment is three percent, So

153
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: you would look at a phased approach because I think

154
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 2: they're at eleven and a half or twelve as you

155
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,119
Speaker 2: said in Australia, so it's going to take a while

156
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 2: to get it up there. But you'll have employee as

157
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 2: employers saying we can't afford that.

158
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, and look, you know someone's going to have to pay. Ultimately,

159
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 5: we New Zealanders pay, whether it's the employee or the employer.

160
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 5: We will have to start saving more. I'd even do

161
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 5: less than that right as you do half a percent

162
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 5: a year. Just make it really slow and gradual. The

163
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 5: most important thing is not deep the amount short term,

164
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 5: it's the amount long term you're saving. If it takes

165
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 5: us a longer period of times to get there, that's fine,

166
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 5: we can do that, but let's let's get that train

167
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 5: leaving the station. So we as a nation safe were

168
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 5: because we know Ryan personally, if we saved more, we

169
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 5: have more options you know in life later on. Well

170
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 5: as a nation, if we saved more, we'll have more

171
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 5: options too.

172
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sam, thank you very much for that. Great to

173
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 2: have you on the show that Sam Stubbs Ceriplicity. Key

Speaker 2: we save a fund manager talking about the latest report

175
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 2: from the Financial Services Council. Lots of US one and

176
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 2: five of us don't have enough retirement savings to get

177
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 2: through the next year based and that's based on your

178
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: current spending, so your current lifestyle, you wouldn't be able

179
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 2: to sustain nine two nine two US number to text.

180
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 2: How do we feel about compulsory keyp saver. I don't

181
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 2: like compulsory anything, but you do look at the Australians

182
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 2: and you think, well, they've got it pretty good, and

183
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 2: they've been doing it for so long, and they've got

184
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 2: all that capital which they're able to invest, and we're

185
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 2: at what three percent? And I know because that's the

186
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 2: thought if you're a boss, if you're an employer, of

187
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 2: adding to that one percent a year, one percent a

188
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: year or whatever it might be. I mean, you'll be

189
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 2: pulling your hair out at the moment, wouldn't you. Eighteen

190
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: minutes after five nine two nine two is an under

191

Speaker 3: Next on your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition

Speaker 3: with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds

194
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 3: and a Plying Store News Talk z'd be.

195
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 2: Just before six, we're talking to Sue Chetwyn. She formerly

196
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 2: a consumer in z you'll know her name from when

197
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 2: she headed that organization. She's now with the Grocery Action

198
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 2: Group and she's calling for change after this grocery report

199
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 2: said basically, nothing has changed in the grocery world's competition,

200
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 2: not as good as it should be, et cetera, et cetera,

201
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 2: et cetera. I wonder whether we're not being fed a

202
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 2: bit of false hope here. So when they started all

203
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: of this, they said there was a million dollars per

204
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 2: day in excess profits, that they were making a million

205
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: dollars a day. So that's three hundred and sixty five

206
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 2: million dollars a year. Divide that by five million people.

207
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 2: Because we all eat, that's seventy three dollars per year

208
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 2: per person. That's a dollar forty per week, per Is

209
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 2: that going to change your life?

210
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 8: You know?

211
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 2: And how much have we spent on all the reports

212
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 2: and all of the grocery commissioner.

213
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 8: I don't know.

214
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 2: We'll talk to Sue Chepwan about that. Just before six

215
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 2: twenty one, after five Bridge reports that New Zealand Rugby

216
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 2: is close to signing an eight match tour of South

217
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 2: Africa in twenty twenty six. They are just reports at

218
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 2: this stage. It's a story by South African news outlet

219
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 2: The Daily Maverick, quoting the South Africa Rugby Chief executive

220
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 2: saying officials from both nations met before last weekend's tests.

221
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 2: It's been thirty years since we last toured in South Africa.

222
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 2: Ian Jones was on that tour and he's with us

223
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 2: this morning.

224
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 8: Good morning, yeah, good morning, ride, Good morning, dear listeners.

225
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 2: Great to have you on. Fond memories.

226
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, fantastic, absolute trip of a lifetime over does happen,

227
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 8: and it's wonderful news if they are planning that Ryan.

228
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 8: Wonderful news for the players but also for the fans

229
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 8: of builders. You know, if you can please get yourself over,

230
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 8: there be a trip that you're meant for. Incredible the

231
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 8: tour to play in and maybe our greatest rivals. So yeah,

232
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 8: good news.

233
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 2: Why did they stop, Well.

234
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 8: I guess the calendar, Ryan, is only fifty two weeks.

235
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 8: So yeah, there's a lot of rugby to pour in

236
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 8: all of these different places. Test matches bring in the

237
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 8: big crowds, I guess. But maybe if there's a desire

238
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 8: now to go back to the old take our players

239
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 8: to the lights of Patchastrom Kimberly, Paul Elizabeth, those places

240
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 8: outside the major cities we played tests. It's wonderful, Yeah,

241
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 8: wonderful news.

242
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 2: Would it affect I mean, you mentioned the calendar. Isn't

243
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: the calendar full? Now?

244
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 5: You know?

245
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 2: Would it affect other competitions?

246
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 8: I guess I'll have to affect other competitions, Ryan, But

247
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 8: maybe they see there's a window there that they can

248
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 8: kind of lock and maybe, let's hope it's up to

249
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 8: eight weeks, maybe not that long. Even if it's five weeks, Ryan,

250
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 8: if that's possible with the time and planning and you're

251
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 8: saying they're looking at twenty twenty six, I guess it's

252
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 8: enough to lock it in. But I'll tell you what, Ryan,

253
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 8: I mean, I think I'll keep some players here to

254
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 8: want to play go on that tour. Said for the

255
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 8: fans of New Zealand, all Black fans, trip of a lifetime,

256
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 8: that you can get yourself over there. So there's a

257
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 8: lot of upside.

258
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: You mentioned keeping players the all Blacks obviously making some

259
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 2: decisions or sticking to their guns around you know, sharing

260
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 2: the players around. What do you think of that?

261
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 8: One hundred percent agree with it. I've got to say

262
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 8: Ryan really really important for New Zealand rugby as a whole,

263
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 8: both our domestic competitions, keep our stars in New Zealand

264
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 8: that we pick internally, you're playing our competitions that lure

265
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 8: that Black Jersey's very strong. So no, fully support our decision.

266
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 8: We live in a different part of the world and

267
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 8: say that everything of a different policy to us, But

268
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 8: I believe it works for us, and I think it's

269
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 8: a pretty strong commitment for those players to play in

270
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 8: New Zealand, to work the way into it all Black

271
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,599
Speaker 8: Jersey and writ within us like they do.

272
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey we're coming back on Sunday in Cape Town.

273
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 8: Well yeah, oh we are coming back mate. We were

274
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 8: right at that hunt and Johannesbury. We ran out of

275
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 8: gas at altitude. We now Sea level. We have a

276
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 8: big fan base down in Cape Town. Well you know,

277
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 8: Cere will play better. They went at their absolute best

278
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 8: and Joe Berg we had some chances that we didn't take.

279
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 8: So yeah, we're another compelling, another story Ryan in this

280
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 8: wonderful rivalry that we have.

281
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 2: Brilliant, lovely to have you on the show. Ian Jones,

282
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 2: former All Black with us talking about the possibility at

283
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 2: the stage of the All Blacks resuming a full tour

284
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 2: to South Africa in twenty twenty six. Lots of your

285
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 2: text coming in on keep Saver.

286
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 3: That's next the early edition full show podcast on I

287
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 3: Radio powered by news Dogs at Me.

288
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 2: So based on the calculations that I have done on

289
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 2: the back of an envelope which you probably shouldn't trust,

290
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: but according to the grocery don't want to call them wings,

291
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 2: but the people the group who are upset about the

292
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 2: monopoly duopoly that's happening in our grocery sector, you could

293
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 2: save at most per person about seventy four dollars per

294
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 2: year if they were to have perfect competition in the sector,

295
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 2: which obviously would be very hard to achieve. Do you

296
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 2: know what else costs you eighty dollars a year. A

297
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 2: friend and I were chatting at the gym the other

298
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 2: day and he showed me his rates bill, which he

299
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 2: had kindly brought to the gym to encourage him to

300
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 2: run faster. Anyway, there's an eighty dollar targeted rate for

301
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 2: the food compost bin, and he said, what's that for?

302
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 2: And I was like, it's the green bin that's on

303
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 2: the street that no one uses. Then he was running

304
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 2: faster than I've ever seen him run on the treadmill anyway.

305
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 2: So apparently sixty to sixty five percent of us don't

306
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: use them. And if you walk down this is the

307
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 2: food scrapspin. They know they have them in other parts

308
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 2: of the country. In Auckland, we've only got them just recently,

309
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 2: so we're all getting a bit used to them. But

310
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 2: eighty dollars a year is what you have to pay.

311
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 2: And I got quite angry when I thought about because

312
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 2: we were talking. If you're on a fixed income, eighty

313
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 2: dollars a year is a lot of money. If you're

314
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 2: a pensioner and you cannot opt out of this service,

315
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 2: who else can charge you for a service that you

316
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 2: don't want or need. What about a pensioner who's you know,

317
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 2: does her own or hurt his own composting in the backyard.

318
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: They can't opt out of it. They have to have

319
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 2: this bin and they have to pay eighty dollars per

320
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 2: year for the privilege. It's like your barber sending like

321
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 2: a barber giving a lady a bed trimmer and saying, here,

322
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 2: I'm going to charge you for that. I don't need it.

323
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 2: Oh well you have to have it? Why? Just cause?

324
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 2: And you know what, They're all made of plastic, these bins.

325
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 2: So how's that for the environment? Twenty nine and after five,

326
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 2: Bryan Bridge, Lots more to come on the show. We're

329
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,720

330
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 2: it was all near the Philippines. Ryan. They can't find

331
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 2: the missing plane from ten years ago, so we really

332
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 2: can't expect them to see an asteroid coming that's a

333
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: meter wide to Earth, can we? Good point Marty Hi, Ryan,

334
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 2: employers might be happier to pay one percent more and

335
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 2: kep saver each year if the company tax rate decreases

336
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 2: by one percentage point. It's each year. Good luck with that.

00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 2: They also are so small they blow away when it's windy, Ryan.

347
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 2: Those plastic compost bins can suck it, says Phil Ryan.

Speaker 2: And Fong and Nui. We have to pay two hundred

Speaker 2: dollars for the stupid plastic bins, and my house is

359
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 5: You know.

360
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 2: That beluga whale, the white one, the Russian one that

361
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 2: everyone thinks is a spy because it turned up and

362
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 2: was friendly with humans, found in Norway, has become famous,

363
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 2: got its own tracking device now people love it. Died

364
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:06,320

365
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 2: that Valdemir was shot multiple times. Very sad. Not sure

366
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 2: who shot it, whether it was the Russians coming back,

367
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 2: worried about the intelligence that was sharing from the coastline.

368
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 2: I don't know, but there you go. They reckon that Veldemir,

369
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 2: the world's most famous beluga whale spy, has been shot.

370
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 2: It's twenty two away from six.

371
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 3: Bryan Bridge, I don't know.

372
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 2: Our reporters around the country, starting with Jamie Cunningham, who's

373
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 2: with us Dunedin News this morning. Jamie tell us about

374
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 2: this rate the bill, I should say for ratepayers because

375
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: of Nobby Clark.

376
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 9: Yes, so in the cargo, ratepayers have been forced to

377
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 9: fork out tens of thousands to pay for the Emir's

378
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 9: Code of Conduct complaints Local Democracy reportings is a total

379
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 9: of sixty thousand dollars were spent in relation to complaints

380
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 9: over Knobbig Clark's behavior at a United Fire Brigades Association

381
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 9: event and the use of offensive language and a TV interview.

382
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 9: Both complaints were upheld in midyear meetings and the mayor

383
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 9: has since apologized. Investigating the Fire Brigades event cost more

384
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 9: than forty two thousand dollars, while the investigation into his

385
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 9: behavior on television totaled more than twenty thousand. A council

386
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 9: spokesperson says the reason for the difference in cost was

387
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 9: due to the amount of time required to undertake each investigation.

388
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 2: Goodness, I just don't know understand. If he made these

389
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,479
Speaker 2: comments on television, why do you need to have an

390
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 2: investigation to find out what he did? You know he

391
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 2: said it on TV anyway, Jamie, the weather in Dunedin today.

392
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 9: Well it's fine with high cloud and northerlyes developing and

393
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:46,720

394
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 2: Thank you. Claire Sherwood is in christ Church this morning.

395
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 2: Clear concerns too many christ Church residents are throwing out

396
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 2: dangerous waste Yeah.

397
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 10: We're not worried about compostman's down here, but Council here

398
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 10: is worried about an increase in fires in our curbs,

399
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 10: collection trucks and the processing facilities. The total since twenty

400
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 10: twenty has been forty two fires. Hazard is waste like

401
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 10: you know, batteries, gas bottles, those kinds of things. They

402
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 10: are also on the rise. The Resource Recovery Team leader

403
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 10: Tarannia Lees says more with more battery powered products on

404
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 10: the market, people do need to be aware, particularly for

405
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 10: things like laptops where they have embedded batteries. She says

406
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 10: they are contributing to this increase in fires, and she's

407
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 10: keen to tell residents that if you need, there is

408
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 10: a map of where to properly dispose of those items

409
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 10: on the christ Church City Council website.

410
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 2: I've got a little green bin I can send you

411
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 2: clear and you can put all that stuff in it.

412
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 11: How good?

413
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:39,120

Speaker 2: is closing.

419
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, it seems virtually every week and you borrow. A

420
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 6: restaurant in the Capitol is shutting its doors, this time

421
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 6: the turn of quite well regarded Dali Egmont Street Eatery,

422
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 6: which has been operating there for nine years. The high

423
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,240

Speaker 6: Just last night, I was taln to someone in the

426
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 6: hospitality industry. He has it on good authority that another

Speaker 6: bar at this time around the Willis Street area is

428
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 6: also planning to close imminently, a bar that's been around

429
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 6: since pre COVID. It seems like it's an absolutely dire

430
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 6: time for businesses in the city. And you've got right now,

431
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 6: at least the perception of a council that's anti business

432
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 6: and isn't prioritizing places staying open with the constant works

433
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 6: around the city. You've also got bar owners around Cotney

Speaker 6: Place saying the police are fighting tooth and nail for

435

Speaker 5: Yeah.

437
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,639

00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 2: the weather today a lot brighter. Yeah.

439
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:52,719

00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 12: from submitters. So the application calls for an increase from

469
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 12: six concerts a year to twelve, and CEO Nick Sultan

470
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 12: says that this would make New Zealand more attractive option.

471
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 12: He's pretty pleased at this stage because each show kind

472
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 12: of like it creates more than three thousand dollars or

473
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 12: three thousand dollars three thousand jobs, you know, for each

474
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 12: show in a variety of areas. So that's quite good.

475
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 2: How is the weather today? Everyone but Helen Clark would

476
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 2: be on board because yeah, those areas, ye, right, Indeed,

477
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 2: we're doubling the content Hellen and Peter.

478
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 12: The weather today mainly fine, even cloud late shower. Is

479
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 12: today's high sixteen in Auckland's brilliant.

480
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 2: Thanks never bat with Mitch McCann.

481
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 3: Next International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance, Peace of

482
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 3: mind for New Zealand business.

483
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 2: You're a news talk the big quarter to six. We'll

484
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 2: get to Sue chetwynd just before six on the grocery

485
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 2: competition issue. Right now, our US correspondent Mitch mccannon is

486
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 2: with us. You've got new poll numbers from CNN. This

487
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 2: is ahead of November's election. Mitch, What's what's it saying? Yeah,

488
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 2: that's right, Good morning, Ryan.

489
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 11: You polling this Morning shows just how close this election is,

490
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 11: where it matters and the swing states that could decide

491
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 11: the entire election. So look at this Cohnson in Michigan,

492
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 11: Kamala Harris has a leader between six and five percentage points,

493
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 11: but polls show that in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Nevada there

494
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 11: is no clear leader, while Arizona is polling in favor

495
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 11: of Donald Trump and the margin of ERAa in these

496
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 11: polls is around five percent, so that's better to say

497
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 11: they cannot be separated. Today, Kamala Harris is said to

498
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 11: propose a tax break for small businesses. I meanwhile, Donald

499
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 11: Trump is going to appear tonight's at a town hall

500
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 11: events in Pennsylvania on Fox News. And that's critical because

501
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 11: Fox News is the most watched cable news channel in

502
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 11: America by some distance. You can expect a lot of

503
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 11: ibels watching that. It's important to know, Ryan mark this

504
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 11: and your diary. The first Harris Trump debate will take

505
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 11: place next Wednesday afternoon, New Zealand Time.

506
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 2: Well, I can't wait for that. I'm very very excited

507
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 2: to see that. Interesting. Quite a mixed mixed bag when

508
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 2: it comes to those results. Then let's go to Georgia.

509
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 2: There's been another school shooting.

510
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 8: Match.

511
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, this is breaking news this morning, and we've only

512
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 11: learned in the last week while about this shooting, the

513
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 11: school shooting in Winded, Georgia, which is about an hour

514
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 11: from Atlanta, Georgia. Details are still emerging, as I said,

515
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 11: but at Appalashi High School, the latest reports are that

516
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 11: four people have died and thirty others are injured and

517
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 11: a suspect is now in custody. Video from outside the

518
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 11: school shows swarms of police officers and ambulance and students

519
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 11: on a football field. Some are in prayer circles. Now

520
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 11: that the suspect has been apprehended, it's been reported students

521
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 11: have been released to go home from the high school,

522
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 11: while other schools in the area are still being done.

523
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 11: It appears that is as a precaution.

524
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 2: Mitch, thank you for that. Mitch mccanna, US correspondent, just

525
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 2: gone thirteen minutes away from six. No meaningful improvement in

526
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 2: the grocery sector. This is the competition issue after two years.

527
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 2: This is despite the ComCom reports, the market studies, the

528
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 2: Grocery Commissioner being appointed and up and running. The first

529
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 2: annual report from the ComCom into the sector has been

530
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 2: released and it basically says nothing mean, meaningful has happened.

531
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 2: So Chetwyn is with the grocery action groups. She's with

532
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 2: me this morning, so great to have you on the show.

533
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning. So are we ever going to

534
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 2: fix the issue?

535
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 7: Look, I think it is possible to fix the issue,

536
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 7: but structural change has to occur. So I guess the

537
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 7: government has to sort of bite metal here and say

538
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 7: we need more regulations to do something about the state

539
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 7: of our industry. So, you know, we have a jopoly

540
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 7: that has more than eighty percent control of the basically

541
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 7: the food that we buy, and all of the rules

542
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 7: that they've put in place all very well meaning, but

543
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 7: have not worked. They have really just printed around the edge.

544
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 7: So a mess. You make some structural change to encourage

545
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 7: competition or to allow competition to happen, then we're just

546
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 7: going to get more of the same.

547
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 2: Grocery commissioner mentioned the one hundred sites the land that

548
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 2: the supermarkets are supposedly sitting on. You know, is that

549
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 2: to block competition or are they just land banking because

550
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 2: it's profitable, or are they car parks or storage facilities?

551
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 2: You know, is that is that number realistic.

552
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 7: Look, I think the number represents all of the land

553
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 7: they own, so some of it may be legitimate for

554
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 7: say car parks, But the Colics Commission wouldn't have mentioned

555
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 7: it unless it has done research to show that it

556
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 7: is basically the duopoly buying land that could be useful

557
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 7: for supermarkets the block competitors. So and you know, just recently,

558
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 7: you know, we had the you know, the big fine

559
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 7: for food stuffs for land convenance. So that's buying land

560
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 7: and then putting on rules around it and selling it.

561
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 7: But that those rules mean that no competing supermarkets could

562
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 7: be put on it. This is more of the same.

563
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 2: That was more historical, those charges that were brought right,

564
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 2: this is now apparently one hundred sites that they're sitting

565
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 2: on top. So what do you want to do? You

566
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 2: want the government to force them to sell the land.

567
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 7: Absolutely or do something with it that looked like a

568
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 7: supermarket and not a vape shop. And also I think

569
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 7: it needs to give the overseas you know office that

570
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 7: allows competitors, you know, potentially overseas competitors to come in,

571
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 7: so they might pertly need to free up some rules

572
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 7: around there. They need to free up other regulations. They

573
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,959
Speaker 7: definitely need to free up land, but I think critically

574
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 7: and the OECD also recommended this, they need to look

575
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 7: at forcing the season markets to sell some of what

576
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 7: they own. So you know, maybe breaking up Peck and

577
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 7: Save and New World. You know, maybe Warworst has to

578
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 7: divest some of its supermarkets as well. So unless you

579
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 7: get that structural change, you're not going to get more

580
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 7: competition in New Zealand.

581
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 2: If you have the state interfering in a sector like

582
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 2: that to the extent that you're suggesting, wouldn't it put

583
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 2: off private enterprise from wanting to come and invest here

584
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 2: in the first place.

585
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 7: Well, look, I think we've just got a broken market here,

586
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 7: and that's what you know, that's what regulation is for

587
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 7: in a way, is to make sure that we encourage competition.

588
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 7: So why is it that New Zealand has eighty percent

589
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 7: of you know, the supermarket industry owned by two supermarkets,

590
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 7: where in say Ireland a similar size had five supermarkets

591
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 7: or with about twenty percent of the market. So New

592
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 7: Zealand has one of the most dense markets in the world.

593
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 7: So it doesn't get much worse. So unless you have

594
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 7: some government interference to teach consumers and suppliers. Then it's

595
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 7: just going to be more of the same.

596
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 2: If you keep getting the same result, we'll have another

597
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 2: report in another two years saying exactly the same thing,

598
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 2: that nothing's changed. So thank you very much for your

599
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 2: time this morning. Sud Chetwyn, who's with the Grocery Action Group.

600
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 2: It is eight minutes away from six Ryan Bridge, very quickly,

601
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 2: an update for you. The US stocks have rebounded yesterday.

602
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 2: We mentioned that there was a dip, if that's what

603
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 2: you want to call it, a bit of bed wetting,

604
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 2: and then it spread to Asia and the Nvidia, you know,

605
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 2: that chip company that everyone is going nuts for, lost

606
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 2: two hundred and eighty billion dollars on the stock market yesterday.

607
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 2: But sounds like a lot's actually a drop in the

608
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 2: bucket when you look at the value of the companies

609
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 2: and the trillions. Oil is remaining lower, so we should

610
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 2: get lower petrol prices at some point two eight minutes

611
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 2: away from six Ryan Bridge.

612
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 3: New for twenty twenty four on early edition with Smith City,

613
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 3: New Zealand's Furniture, Beds and a playing store.

614
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 2: News Talk Zidby, Welcome back to the show. Five minutes

615
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 2: away from six I wonder where we're giving people a

616
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 2: bit of false hope with this grocery report. Remember when

617
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 2: they first started talking about it, they said there was

618
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 2: a million dollars a day in excess profits. That's three

619
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty five million dollars a year if my

620
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 2: calculations are correct. Divide that by five million people. Because

621
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 2: we all eat, that's seventy three dollars per year. So

622
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 2: you would be saving per person, in a perfect will,

623
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 2: with perfect competition, just a dollar forty a week on

624
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 2: your groceries. Mike, good morning morning.

625
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 13: So what you've got to remember, it's very important to

626
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 13: remember this. That's an invented job, and it was invented

627
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 13: by the labor government, a grocery data. Yeah, because they

628
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 13: couldn't work out what they were going to do about

629
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 13: the market. Because the market's the market. If it's broken,

630
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 13: it sort of doesn't matter. Because I think you've almost

631
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 13: got to the bottom of it. It isn't going to

632
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 13: get fixed. It's not possible to fix it because what

633
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 13: fixes it, allegedly is another big supermarket provider. Why aren't

634
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 13: they there? Ask yourself the obvious question. So when you've

635
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 13: invented a job, first thing you've got to do is

636
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 13: find problems, don't you, which is which is what he did,

637
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 13: because there's no way in the world's going to come

638
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 13: out and go, look, I'd like to be able to

639
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 13: say something, got a cart, So I'm wasting my time.

640
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 13: So he comes out and tells you what the problems are,

641
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,959
Speaker 13: and the problems are insurmountable because they're not specific. I mean,

642
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 13: if you look at the results of Woolworth's the other day,

643
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 13: their profits were down fifty seven percent. Yeah, now, so

644
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 13: that's a reflection.

645
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 2: But the other thing is if you're trying to get

646
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 2: an ld to come here to New Zealand and you've

647
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 2: got this grocery commissioner waving his hands around saying we

648
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 2: need we need the state to intervene in the private market,

649
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 2: is that going to ent you?

650
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 8: No?

651
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 13: Just think about what that that, Sue Chapman, for God's sake,

652
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 13: the state into love. I mean, why don't you just

653
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 13: call it Russia?

654
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 2: So what do you want?

655
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 13: You want the Minister of something setting the price of rice?

656
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 13: Do you is is that really where we're heading back

657
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 13: to the same Look at you look at Australia though,

658
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 13: how many people twenty six twenty seven million people. They've

659
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 13: got more supermarkets.

660
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 2: Are they happy with the supermarkets?

661
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 13: No, they're not. They're having the same argument there as

662
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 13: we're having here.

663
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 2: So you know, we're equally miserable.

664
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 13: We're equally miserable, is what it is.
