Fifty five million dollars on Saturday and 67 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 3: that will be that. Now I want to talk to 68 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 3: you about jeven mcskimming because the hero's got a news 69 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 3: story out this morning. You know, the woman at the 70 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 3: at the center of all of this stuff. She and 71 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 3: she was facing a prosecution from police over the mixed 72 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 3: skimming emails that she was sending, the so called harassment, 73 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 3: that she was doing, the alleged harassment, and then police 74 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 3: dropped that charge. Right Well, Jared Savage has a story 75 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 3: in the Herald today that woman is still facing charges. 76 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 3: She's facing a separate charge in August this year, she 77 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 3: allegedly sent abusive emails to the officer in charge of 78 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 3: the original prosecution against her. She also allegedly sent emails 79 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 3: to this detective's wife, and the court documents, well they 80 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 3: say the ten emails were sent with intent to cause 81 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 3: serious emotional distress. Now, what's interesting about all of this 82 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 3: and this development this morning is the fact that it 83 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 3: could drag Costa. It could drag him into court potentially 84 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 3: next year, because he could be called to give evidence 85 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 3: because what's going to happen, and if this is all 86 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 3: alleged at this stage, but what's going to happen is 87 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 3: her lawyer is going to come out and say, well, 88 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 3: there's abuse going on here, there's abusive process in the prosecution. 89 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 3: Exhibit A is the IPCA report, which we've all seen 90 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 3: and well, you know we need to call witnesses, and 91 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 3: who are the witnesses? Well, look at the report, it's Costa. 92 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 3: So that is going to I mean, this thing's just 93 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 3: not going to go away in a hurry, is it. 94 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 3: Unlike I think Costa, who, as I said yesterday, is 95 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 3: bound to lose his job. Now. Interesting question this morning 96 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 3: is how much is that going to cost us? And 97 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 3: how do you actually do it? We'll talk to Max 98 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 3: Whitehead about that just before six this morning, cry Bridge 99 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 3: five eleven. So what is a back office staff? What 100 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 3: does a front office staff member? That is the question 101 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 3: for FORIGN emergency, because they're firing a whole bunch of people. 102 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 3: But at what point, you know, obviously a fight, we 103 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 3: can all see a firefighter and know what a frontline 104 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 3: firefighter looks like and does, But what about the people 105 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 3: that support them? Can the frontline do their bit without them? 106 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 3: We'll talk to the union about this. Next News Talks vb. 107 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on early edition with r V Supercenter explore 108 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: r v's accessories and servicing all in one News TALKSB. 109 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 3: It is five poin fourteen on News TALKSB.

The Democrats have released us, by the way, 112 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 3: from the House Oversight Committee. They're looking into it all. 113 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 3: So he says, it's April second, twenty eleven. Epstein writes 114 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 3: to Maxwell, I want you to realize that that dog 115 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 3: that hasn't barked as Trump. He then mentions a victim's name, 116 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 3: and he said so and so spent ours at my 117 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 3: house with him, implying that Trump had spent ours at 118 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 3: his house at Epstein's house with a victim. X y 119 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 3: Z doesn't name it anyway.

We'll have Mitch McCann from 122 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 3: the US A back called to six Brands is proposing 123 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 3: to cut more than one hundred jobs, nothing on the 124 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 3: front line. They say it needs to save seventy million 125 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 3: dollars a year, ten percent of its annual budget eight 126 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 3: hundred million. Of this, the majority, vast majority, comes from 127 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 3: levies that we pay through insurance. Flurfitt Simon's is the 128 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 3: PSA National secretary with me this morning, Flir, good morning, 129 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 3: good morning. There's a difference between how many jobs they 130 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 3: they say are on the line and how many. You say, 131 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 3: what's the difference? Why the difference? 132 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 8: So we've counted through their document. There are two hundred 133 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 8: and sixty page document. We've looked at the number of 134 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 8: roles we think are going and new roles being created. 135 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 8: We tried to check those numbers with FINS, but they 136 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 8: wouldn't give us confirmation. But actually we say none of 137 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 8: these jobs should be going because by reducing these roles, 138 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 8: we will make New Zealanders less safe when it comes 139 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 8: to protecting us from natural hazards and fires and emergencies. 140 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 3: So they say, are net one hundred and forty positions? 141 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 3: You're saying how many? 142 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 8: We say a net loss of one six y nine. 143 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 8: But regardless, New Zealand cannot afford to lose these. 144 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 3: Specialists, all right, So what jobs are we talking about? 145 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 3: Not frontline? Right? 146 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 8: The sorts of jobs that work on prevention operational response, 147 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 8: we're seeing them get rid of wildfire specialists. We're really 148 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 8: concerned that the people that support the front line, so 149 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 8: the people that for example, do the administrative work around 150 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 8: volunteer firefighters, are being cut significant. Some of those people 151 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 8: have been there for thirty years that have learnt how 152 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 8: to do their job very very well. They do it 153 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 8: very efficiently. They've given a lot of service to New 154 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 8: Zealand and we're just throwing them on the scrap peek. 155 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 3: It's unreal how many how many wildfire specialists do we 156 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 3: have and how many would be we be reduced to. 157 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 8: This is the thing with this proposal. A lot of 158 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 8: the numbers are a lot of the roles going are 159 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 8: putting jobs into other roles, so littered throughout the proposal 160 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 8: is other people will pick up this work, so there 161 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 8: will still definitely be a core of people left at FENS. 162 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 8: But actually ten percent reduction in a workforce is decimating that. 163 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 9: Workforce, Well, you cannot achieve it is. 164 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 8: The test of what decimating is It is decimating this workforce. 165 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,319 Speaker 3: Many of what what's the test of decimating? Sorry, ten 166 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 3: percent is considered decimating a workforce? 167 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's a military term and it is it is 168 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 8: what you can what we do to make something less effective, 169 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 8: and that is what they had They are driving down. 170 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 3: Effectiveness of size doesn't mean efficiency. Size doesn't mean you're 171 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 3: doing a good job. A good job is done when 172 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 3: a good job is done. So the question is the 173 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 3: question is are these jobs mission critical and FENS seems 174 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 3: to be saying they're not. 175 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 8: SENS has had this forced on them by the government 176 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 8: that is forcing these cuts. FENS doesn't think that it 177 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 8: can operate in this way in the document itself. 178 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 3: So why is the government forcing these cuts when the 179 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 3: vast majority of their funding comes from us through levees. 180 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 8: Well, the government refused to let FENDS increase the levy, 181 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 8: they are also requiring further cuts. It is a dereliction 182 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 8: of duty by Brook van Valden. Her job is to 183 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 8: make sure that Fire and Emergency in New Zealand can 184 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,359 Speaker 8: keep New Zealand as safe from fires and natural disasters. 185 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 8: Her job is not to force these kind of cuts 186 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 8: that will make it less able to do its core functions. 187 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 3: All right, FLU appreciate you times wanting flufit Simons from 188 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 3: the PSA time is eighteen minutes after five the water 189 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 3: care in Auckland pumping the poo into the water while 190 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 3: the oysters are trying to grow.

Ryan, just shush about this. 198 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 3: Let's hear from the other side. This is the problem 199 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 3: in a many of you saying when we can hear 200 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 3: from fins, where you don't hear from fins because while 201 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,079 Speaker 3: they consult on a proposal like this, they don't talk publicly. 202 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 3: They declined to talk to us because and this is 203 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 3: what happens whenever a situation like this arises, because if 204 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 3: they go out and talk, then the employees who are 205 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,599 Speaker 3: being restructured can take a PG. So they're kind of 206 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 3: their hands are tied. So it is a one sided 207 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 3: These are always a generally a one sided debate. Five 208 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 3: twenty one, Brian Bridge water Care is set to pay 209 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 3: one million dollars in settlement to ten oyster farmers affected 210 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 3: by a sewage spill. Around twelve hundred cubic metres of 211 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 3: wastewater entered the Mahuangi River, forcing farmers to halt harvesting 212 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 3: for nearly a month and that done.

So it's it's basically just 217 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 9: to get over this little hunt that we're just going 218 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 9: through at the moment. But there's further evaluations that need 219 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 9: to be done that need to be sort of finalized 220 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 9: with the amount of demage has been done to the 221 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 9: harbor and the reputation of the Mahongy oyster farmers over 222 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 9: the next two months. 223 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 3: Are there only ten farmers in the area or what 224 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 3: is Are there others that have been affected that aren't 225 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 3: getting compensated. 226 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 9: There's ten farmers in the Maharani Harbor that are part 227 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 9: of the cost center. We have spent catching farmers that 228 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 9: are in the harbor, which they've got big operators. They 229 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 9: catch oysters from the Mahari and transport them through to 230 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 9: the Corimandel and cleaveden. 231 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 3: How much do you reckon this has cost the individual farmers. 232 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 9: A really farmers different so like every farmer of farms 233 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 9: and their orters in a different way. So I can't 234 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 9: really sort of like put an exact pin number on 235 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 9: each farmer. 236 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 3: What does it do to your your reputation? I mean 237 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 3: if you're now I mean I'm talking about Mahadania oysters 238 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 3: and I'm talking about sewage. 239 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 9: Yeah, well, you know the biggest thing is, you know, 240 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 9: like what price do they put on not being able 241 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 9: to swim fish and eat delicious oysters? 242 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 10: You know? 243 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 9: A million is not enough each each and every day 244 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 9: the harvest shut their stories about wastewater and the oyster. 245 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 9: Our reputation as the marching oyster farmers continues just to 246 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 9: be damaged. 247 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 3: And I owned, I completely agree with you. And they're 248 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 3: not compensating for that at this point, are they? It 249 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 3: does seem it does seem to be fair to them 250 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 3: that Lake Water Care is genuinely engaged like listening and 251 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 3: talking and paying. Is that fair. 252 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 9: For this incidence? Yes? 253 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 3: But not others? No, how many others. 254 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 9: We've had, like I think thirty two thirty five skills. 255 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 9: Throughout the last year, we've been open probably about five 256 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 9: or six weeks for the whole year, so it's been 257 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 9: tougher for every farmer. 258 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 3: And this is the only one they're paying out for. 259 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 9: This is the one accepting liability for because it supposedly 260 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 9: was a power food that their pump stations have failed. 261 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 3: Lynette, appreciate your trying this morning. Nette Done, chair of 262 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 3: the Mahani Oyster Association. Twenty four minutes after five News 263 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 3: Talks MB. 264 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: The early edition full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio Power 265 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: by News Talks IV, News Talks B. 266 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 3: It is five twenty six. I've seen a lot of 267 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 3: commentary in the last couple of days about our government's 268 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 3: debt position. We're up over forty percent of GDP, doubled 269 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 3: on pre COVID. You already know all of this, but 270 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 3: there are those on the left who say that is 271 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 3: way too little. Basically, we should borrow more. Forget about 272 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 3: a debt selling, borrow more, throw it at the public service. 273 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 3: Create some jobs, any jobs who cares, just get them 274 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 3: out there right And that's what Karne is doing in 275 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 3: Canada right now. His budget would double the debt position 276 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 3: debt to GDP ratio, they've got Trump tariffs coming at them, 277 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 3: they've got weak domestic demand. So he's basically getting out 278 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 3: the defenb and he's trying to revive the economy. And 279 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 3: make no mistake, if a labor lead government were to 280 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 3: get and that is exactly what they would be doing here. 281 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 3: Maybe not to the same extent. The problem is we 282 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 3: don't know. Chrislkins has said, yeah, we need to invest more, Yeah, 283 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 3: Knesan economics, et cetera, et cetera, but how much don't know? 284 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 3: To party Maldi and the Greens, you know, will make 285 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 3: sure that they do more and on spend the money 286 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 3: on what that is the question. Now, remember Robertson had 287 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 3: a debt ceiling thirty percent of GDP. Well, that didn't 288 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 3: go very well. Didn't last very long, did it. The 289 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 3: fact is it's quite popular to spend money. It sounds 290 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 3: like you're doing something. The more you spend, the more 291 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 3: you care. That's the kind of prevalent theory, isn't it. Actually, 292 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 3: If you look at average public debt, the ratio to 293 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 3: GDP for big economies advanced economies, it's roughly one hundred 294 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 3: and ten percent. So we are way under that. But 295 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 3: we need to remember we're a small country, we're a 296 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 3: trading country. We are exposed and we're in the middle 297 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 3: of a trade wall. It's not forget. What we need 298 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 3: is headroom. Now, morning Star, they've just given the government 299 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 3: the triple A credit rating. They said as much. And 300 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 3: as for those banks we've been talking about this week, 301 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 3: massive profits and everyone's saying, oh, it's so evil, it's 302 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 3: so nasty. Well, turns out in the same morning Star report, 303 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 3: it's actually quite important that we have profitable banks. Morning 304 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 3: Star says that we've weathered this housing market correction so 305 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 3: well because in part of well capitalized banks that are 306 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 3: also very liquid, that have strong buffers to absorb losses. 307 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 3: So not all is as it seems. Bank profits and 308 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 3: a seemingly stingy government insisting on returning the books to 309 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 3: surplus not only keep our interest rates down but also 310 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 3: help keep us afloat. 311 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 10: Bryan Bridge now it's. 312 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 3: Staying Afloat's hard for Starmer at the moment over in 313 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 3: the UK because there is talk and it's actually coming 314 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 3: from they reckon inside Number ten that he's been challenged 315 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 3: for the leadership, and he's saying, oh no, no, no, I'm 316 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 3: all good. I'm staying in. 317 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 11: My team and I are absolutely focused on delivering for 318 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 11: the country. I'm lately be clear, of course, mister speaker. 319 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 11: I'm never authorized attach on Covenant members. I appoint them 320 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 11: to that post because they're the best people to carry 321 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 11: out their jobs. 322 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 3: Problems problem for Starmer is the numbers that they're getting 323 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 3: in the polls. So if you have a look at those, 324 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 3: and the backbenches are starting to get nervous. I mean 325 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 3: they're only sixteen months into this. They had a landslide victory, 326 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 3: but the most recent UGUB survey had Labor in fourth 327 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 3: place behind Reform, the Tories and the Greens seventeen percent, 328 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 3: the lowest result ever recorded by that Polster.

You would have 502 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 3: seen that poll yesterday. Will we have an the overhang 503 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 3: will act kind of like with lotto, is kind of 504 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 3: a powerball for the Left because it gives you and 505 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 3: this is assuming that Labour doesn't win and they are 506 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,479 Speaker 3: probably better off their chances of forming a government are 507 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 3: better off if they don't win the Maori electorate seats. 508 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 3: They go for the party vote from those electors and 509 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 3: then to Party Marty gets the seats and they get 510 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,199 Speaker 3: the overhang, and that gives the Left more votes and 511 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,199 Speaker 3: that gets them across the line potentially. My question is 512 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 3: what would that feel like if the reason that a 513 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 3: Left government gets into powers because of an overhang essentially 514 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 3: boot powerballing them, propelling them to power. How would that feel? Legitimate? 515 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 1: International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of mind 516 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: for New Zealand business. 517 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 3: So it's anyway from six to let's go stateside with 518 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 3: Mitch McCann. Mitch, the latest Epstein from beyond the Grave. 519 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 3: These Epstein emails keep coming, and this one mentions Trump 520 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 3: quite specifically. 521 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 15: Yeah, that's right, Good morning, Ryan. Your allegations this morning 522 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 15: that suggest Donald Trump may have known more about the 523 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,120 Speaker 15: exploits of Jeffrey Epstein than he has led on. Now, 524 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 15: the context of this is that the administration has been 525 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 15: under a lot appreciative release of all the Epstein files, 526 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 15: these documents and emails, which some believe will shed light 527 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 15: to the extent of his crimes and may disclose the 528 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 15: involvement of other high profile names. Now House Democrats have 529 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 15: released emails from Epstein's estate. Now, keep in mind here 530 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,880 Speaker 15: before I read them, that Donald Trump has always said 531 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 15: he wasn't involved or had any knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. 532 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 15: This is one email from April twenty eleven, Epstein wrote 533 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 15: to Glaine Maxwell. He said, I want you to realize 534 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 15: that the dog that hasn't barked as Trump He also 535 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 15: added an unnamed victim spent hours at my house with him. 536 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 15: He has never once been mentioned, and in twenty nineteen 537 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 15: he wrote to the author Michael Wolfe about Donald Trump. 538 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 15: Of course he knew about the girls, as he asked 539 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 15: Elaine to stop. Now, the White House sees these stories 540 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 15: are nothing more than bad faith efforts to distract from 541 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 15: his historic accomplishments. The White House is due to speak 542 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,479 Speaker 15: at a press briefing in about an hour, and you 543 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 15: can expect that conversation will dominate the press briefing much. 544 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 3: Where are we at with releasing the full files? It 545 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 3: hasn't happened yet. 546 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 15: Ay, it hasn't happened yet, and the White House says 547 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,360 Speaker 15: there's essentially no need to do so. But I think 548 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 15: this will increase the pressure on them. Caroline Leavitt will 549 00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 15: be asked about this and Donald Trump later in the day. 550 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 15: And you know, one of the big issues for Donald 551 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 15: Trump is this just keeps coming up. I think you 552 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 15: said beyond the grave. It keeps coming up every couple 553 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 15: of weeks, and it's really infuriating Trump and it's really 554 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 15: upsetting many of his base because he campaigned on releasing 555 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 15: all the files. So I think this increases the pressure 556 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:16,199 Speaker 15: to do so. 557 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,439 Speaker 3: It does, Mitch, thank you for that, Mitch mccanna and 558 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 3: US correspondence. It's just going to leave it away from six. 559 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 3: Ryan Toss's days in the public service look to be numbered. 560 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,120 Speaker 3: Sir Brian Roch is investigating him over the IPCA report. Meanwhile, 561 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 3: three current police employees are also under investigation over their 562 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 3: part in the alleged cover up. Max Whitehead, employment expert 563 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 3: with US this morning, Max, Good morning. 564 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 10: Good morning Ryan. Yes, it's a messy, messy piece of 565 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 10: work here. 566 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 3: Isn't it certainly is. What's the quickest way for this 567 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 3: to end? Do you think in the Coster situation. 568 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 10: In the cost of situation, the employer has to undertake 569 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 10: an independent investigation. Now they can present to mister cost 570 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 10: of the facts, given him an opportunity to explain, and 571 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 10: then once they've received that, then they're free to act. 572 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 10: Now the under the there's legislation already developed there that 573 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 10: under Schedule seven, the on the Public Service Act, that 574 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 10: they can proceed and take an action against the like 575 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 10: in his current role a chief executive and terminate his 576 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 10: employment for just cause. 577 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 3: What's a just cause? 578 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 10: Well exactly, bringing the organization to disrepute is very very 579 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 10: important for a high profile individual like mister Costa. If 580 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 10: he has brought the organization into disrepute, it's a sackable offense. 581 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 10: But they have to give him an opportunity to explain 582 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 10: his side of the story. 583 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 3: So once they've done that and then they sack him, 584 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 3: can he take a personal grievance? 585 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 10: Absolutely, he is an employee and his employer is the 586 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 10: Public Service commissioner. 587 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 3: How much do you know? How much do you think 588 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 3: the other option courses that he walks and there is 589 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 3: some kind of golden parachute, what does that? How does 590 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 3: that normally work? 591 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 10: Well, if there is a remote chance that he could 592 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 10: probably litigate and cause all sorts of embarrassment difficulties for 593 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 10: the public service, they are quite often, it happens often. 594 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 10: I've got to say, there is negotiations and that's where 595 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 10: a parachute can be provided, which to me is pretty abhorrent. 596 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 10: I mean, already they've got to undertake another independence investigation 597 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 10: just because of him, and because it's a different department too. 598 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 10: That does make a lot of sense, But however, there's 599 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 10: a cost to that, and there's going to be a 600 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 10: cost to the public. Again, we end up paying for 601 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 10: lots of things. I mean there's millions and millions of 602 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 10: dollars the public are going to have to part with 603 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 10: just in terms of investigations and plural many investigations, and 604 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 10: that's pretty tough on us taxpayers. 605 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 3: Appreciate your time. Max Whitehead employment expert US this morning. 606 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 3: By the way, his contract is a two and a 607 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 3: half million dollar five year contract, and as Max has said, 608 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 3: if we want to get him out of it early, 609 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 3: then we might have to pay something for that privilege. 610 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 3: I know.
