I think it was 44 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 6: the next day to this day, I never had any 45 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 6: contact with him from that day forward. 46 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iheard Radio Early Edition 47 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: with Ryan Bridge and are the Supercenter explore r v's 48 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: accessories and servicing Paul in one news talks. 49 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 2: I'd be ad after five on your Monday morning, great 50 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 2: to have your company.

Have you seen that'scot Leonardo DiCaprio. 53 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 2: It's three hours long, just a warning. Didn't quite realize 54 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: that going in, but it was a great movie. It 55 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 2: was a good movie, but weird, but good movie anyway, 56 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 2: went early and watched the Shorts, which is filled with advertisements, 57 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 2: and you don't really see many full, you know, big 58 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 2: TV ads these days because you don't watch a lot 59 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 2: of traditional TV anyway. Ads for KFC. You'll be pleased 60 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 2: to know they've got a new Katsu sort of rice, 61 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 2: bit of rice, bit of chicken, bit of cultural appropriation 62 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 2: from KFC. Well done. So that was interesting to learn. 63 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 2: Burger Fuel's got a new burger out and sandwich between 64 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 2: these ads was one for WAYGOVI you know, the weight 65 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 2: loss drug. And I was just sitting there thinking, Wow, 66 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 2: what a weird world we live in where we say, 67 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 2: on the one hand, go and eat all this fried 68 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 2: food and then take this injection and it all goes away. 69 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 2: But it's being accepted now. It's a way to solve 70 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 2: a major health problem. Costs US billions, kills people, makes 71 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 2: them sick, and people are now saying you should fund 72 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 2: this publicly, which I'm not entirely against, to be honest. 73 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 2: Imagine how much you would save society and hospitals if 74 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 2: you funded it publicly. And it's using, basically, in its essence, 75 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 2: using technology to fix a problem without the underlying cause, 76 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,119 Speaker 2: which is eating too much and not exercising. But we're 77 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 2: okay with this. Who cares? If the outcomes the same, 78 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 2: we have to do something, then why not? And then 79 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 2: Sunday comes along and I'm thinking, why is it any 80 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:22,559 Speaker 2: different with climate change? Government comes out yesterday and says 81 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 2: here's a target. We can have our cake and eat 82 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 2: it too. We can reduce emissions, we can solve the 83 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 2: problem using new technologies. You know, your fertilizers, your genetics, 84 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 2: feed the cows seaweed, that kind of stuff without addressing 85 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 2: the underlying cause, which is intensive dairy farming. To me, 86 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 2: this also sounds reasonable if we can reduce emissions over 87 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 2: time using technology rather than cutting production, cutting your nose 88 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 2: despite your face, why wouldn't we To me, feeding cows 89 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 2: seaweed is no different to you know, Joe blogs jabbing 90 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 2: himself with Wagovi. The number to Texas gone eleven. After five, 91 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 2: we'll go to Andrew Ortison the sport. That bath is 92 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 2: very messy, but a key. We came out on top. 93 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 2: That's what we like. 94 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on early edition with r V super Center 95 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: explore r v's accessories and servicing all in one news talks. 96 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 2: I'd be it was very dramatic, very chaotic, very wet, 97 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 2: but kiwi. Matt Paine has taken out Bathurst. He started 98 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 2: the race eighteenth and gotten the lead with five lamps 99 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 2: to go. Here's the winning moment for you from the 100 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 2: weekend and. 101 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 4: The victory five. 102 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 7: I believe him. 103 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 3: I come. 104 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 2: Wow, Yes, certainly was someone crashed and basically he got 105 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 2: ahead and on time too. He was loving it. 106 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 8: It's pretty amazing, you know, when when we woke up 107 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 8: this morning starting eighteenth. I definitely knew it made our 108 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 8: race card better, and we also didn't know that it 109 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 8: was probably going to be the majority in the wet 110 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 8: so it was going to be a tough afternoon. But yeah, 111 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 8: State call, it's it's just I'm so happy to win 112 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 8: this race. Is a ki it's pretty sure. 113 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 2: Congratulations, very cool, and he is the sixth key we 114 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 2: to do that. Scott McLachlin, Van Gisberg and Murphy and 115 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 2: the two Richard's Jim and Steven Bryan bred Government's cut 116 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 2: methane reduction targets. They say it's science based. The range 117 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 2: is now fourteen to twenty four percent below twenty seventeen 118 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 2: levels by twenty fifty. A lot of numbers in there. 119 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 2: Fourteen to twenty four is the one you need to remember. 120 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 2: It was twenty four to forty seven percent reduction, so 121 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 2: the upper ends basically have Kate Ackland, is chair at 122 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 2: Beefer Named New Zealand, joins me. Now morning, Kate, Morning, 123 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 2: Ryan's good to have you on the show. 124 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 9: Now. 125 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 2: The government, yessay said we would have had farms shutting down, 126 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 2: farmers going out of business if we had kept the 127 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 2: old targets. Is that overblowing it or is that true 128 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 2: in how many No. 129 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 10: Look, that's absolut don't be true. So, you know, modeling 130 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 10: suggested under what was previously proposed, we were looking at 131 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 10: about twenty percent of our sheep and beef farms and 132 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,679 Speaker 10: I think about six or seven percent of our dairy 133 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 10: farms would need to shut down to meet those targets, 134 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 10: and even then it would be a stretch. So, look, 135 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 10: this is great news for farming, it's great news for 136 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 10: New Zealand. Actually, you know, these are science based targets 137 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 10: on the impact of warming. It's agriculture doing its peace, 138 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 10: but it's still maintaining what's a really important industry for 139 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 10: New Zealand. 140 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 2: What's the bigger impact here the fact that there's no 141 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 2: ets or that there is a reduction in the target. 142 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 10: Oh, look, I think both. I mean the threat of 143 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 10: a tax on emissions or you know, a tax on 144 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 10: a missions from food production is something that's been hanging 145 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 10: over farmers for a number of years and it's been 146 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 10: sucking a lot of confidence out of the rural sector. 147 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 10: So I think giving farmers sort of confidence and that 148 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 10: you know, they're not going to face that price, that 149 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 10: they can invest in their businesses and grow their businesses 150 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 10: and you know, improve things and spend money in their 151 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 10: local communities. That's a really positive thing. The reduction and targets, 152 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 10: of course, you know that's something we've been calling for 153 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 10: for a long time, so that's also really positive. 154 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 2: Okay, does it risk this is what labors come out 155 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 2: and said overnight. Does it risk our UK EU markets? 156 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 2: You know they have strong climate pledges in them. Do 157 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 2: you worry as farmers that you will actually, you know, 158 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 2: cut your nose off to spite your face. 159 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 10: No, look, absolutely not. We still have our international commitments. 160 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 10: What we do in New Zealand is a different thing. Actually, 161 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 10: what the targets the government's put in place are in 162 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 10: line with what most of the rest of the world 163 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 10: is doing. So almost every other country in the world 164 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 10: is not looking to tax or penalize farmers. That's actually 165 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 10: looking to incentivize farmers. It's got targets that you know, 166 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 10: a lot of the rest of the world has targets 167 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 10: that are in line with what New Zealand's proposed. So 168 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 10: what this, you know, what yesterday's announcement has done is 169 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 10: it's actually bought New Zealand in line with most of 170 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 10: the rest of the world. 171 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 2: Do most farmers back the Paris Agreement or do they 172 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 2: want out? 173 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 8: Oh? 174 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 10: Look, there's quite a mixed feel out there. And you know, ultimately, 175 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 10: we are a trading nation and most farmers realize that 176 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 10: our trading relationships are critical. 177 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 2: What's the deal with Fonterras having the Fonterra but also 178 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 2: you know silver fern farms. They all have their own targets, 179 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 2: their own goals. From what I could see, Fonterra's was 180 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 2: actually far more ambitious than this one. How does that 181 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 2: change now that the government's target changes? Do you think 182 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 2: these big companies change their targets too, and then that 183 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 2: has an effect on farmers or. 184 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 10: What Look, what these commercial companies do is entirely up 185 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 10: to them, and you know, there's nothing to stop them 186 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 10: having targets. If I've got customers or markets that have 187 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 10: higher ambition and they want to reward farmers to meet 188 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 10: those and that's a great thing, and that can be 189 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 10: quite separate from what is a legislative target. So you know, 190 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 10: both can happen. And I think what we may start 191 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 10: to see as we may start to see these companies 192 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 10: rewarding farmers if they have specific customers that are wanting 193 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 10: those really a lower mission product. 194 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 2: Appreciate your time. Kate Ackland, chair of Beef and Lamb, 195 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 2: New Zealand. Time is eighteen minutes after five. You're on 196 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 2: News Talks. B will get to Andrew with Sport next, the. 197 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: News you need this morning and the in depth analysis 198 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: earlier edition with Ryan Freede and are the Supercenter explore 199 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: are these accessories and servicing all in one. 200 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 2: News Talks that'd be five twenty on News Talks there'd 201 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 2: be hey, Ryan ed the way go v drugs you're 202 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 2: talking about don't need public funding. With the high price 203 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 2: of food, they won't. No one will be able to 204 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 2: afford to eat these things soon. Well McDonald's, all of 205 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 2: those things are still very expensive and people are still 206 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 2: buying them. By the way, overnight they published the Global 207 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 2: Burden of Disease study. Don't worry, it's good news. It's 208 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 2: good news for us at least, and this is published 209 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 2: in the Lancet overnight. So from in terms of age, 210 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 2: the average age we will live to, it's currently seventy 211 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 2: six point three. This is globally seventy six point three 212 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 2: years for women and seventy one for men. That is 213 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 2: twenty years higher than in nineteen fifty. So for all 214 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 2: of the things we complain about in the world, and 215 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 2: you know it's goin of hell and a hand basket, 216 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 2: we're living much longer. Healthcare is better, poverty has reduced, 217 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 2: you know, commerce is working. In New Zealand, we actually 218 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 2: top the scales. So men will live to an average 219 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 2: age of about eighty and women to an average age 220 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 2: of about eighty three. Now here's the kicker, and this 221 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 2: is why we're talking about wagovi and stuff. Half of 222 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 2: the deaths in the world right now are completely preventable smoking, 223 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 2: obesity and air pollution. Two Andrew Llison's here was sport, 224 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 2: Good morning, willing. 225 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 11: Rit make me feel more alive after That's that great 226 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 11: news invigorated. Yes, yes, sports spring on the step. 227 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 2: Sport will solve half of these problems. 228 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,559 Speaker 11: Well, well, if you're Matt Pain, that's that's a terrific 229 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 11: victory at Batheast for him king of the mountain, and 230 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 11: he's pulled somewhat unkindly. I think on I think a 231 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 11: head on Channel seven described as the Stephen Bradbury effort 232 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 11: in relation to the speed skater who I think one 233 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 11: one in the Winter Games when all the others fell 234 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 11: off the track, but he snecked through and he's done it. 235 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,719 Speaker 2: They've come from eighteen and they've won the race. A 236 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 2: few crashes wet, Yeah, I. 237 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 11: Mean, did you see they're back into that? 238 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 12: You not? 239 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 11: But means zero visibility really minimal, and I mean at 240 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,839 Speaker 11: those sort of speeds, that's that's a tremendous effort, just 241 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 11: just about to hold on in those circumstances. And you 242 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 11: see these guys crashing off every now and again. Highlight 243 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 11: for me probably chairs most it going off and going 244 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 11: over the fence and cracking open a beer with some 245 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 11: of the locals. It's mostered for PM. Now apparently that 246 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,599 Speaker 11: gets you right up there, sort of Bob Hawks standards. 247 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 2: Very cool. Anyway, have you got the NBC semi finals set? Now? 248 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 2: We have? 249 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 11: We have so Canabry up against Hawk's Bay it Tago 250 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 11: against Bay, have plenty, but what circumstances to finish it 251 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 11: in for Canterbury, I mean level with Candies Monacaw of course, 252 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 11: who lost their first five games, won their last five 253 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 11: up against Canterbury in the quarter final and yeah, fifteen 254 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 11: all after four times I went to one hundred minutes 255 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 11: with the extra time in Canterbury pulling it off Shaffie 256 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 11: Hackey with a try in a penalty. 257 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 2: He featured pretty heavily as well. 258 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 11: Towards the end they are attempting I think forty k 259 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 11: wins behind him a seventy two penalty which would have 260 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 11: been one tremendous effort but didn't quite go the distance. 261 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 2: But they won anyway. They won anyway, and the Women's 262 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 2: Cricket World Cup. You've got an updoat for us. 263 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 11: I have, yes, dramatic. We've just seen the dismissal of 264 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 11: Elisa Healy catch a cover point by Sneer Rada, so 265 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 11: that's been pretty crucial. She's out for one hundred and 266 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 11: forty two. They're chasing three thirty one Australia. Just recently 267 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 11: I was looking at it. They were what twos sixty 268 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 11: five four of the thirty night that's probably chased a 269 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 11: little bit now, but they're tracking along towards that target. 270 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 11: But still it's it's quite a game, making quite a 271 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 11: game of it. 272 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 2: Certainly sounds like it appreciate that. Thank you, Andrew Ortison 273 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 2: was public for us this morning. It is twenty four 274 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 2: minutes after five News Talks. They'd be on your Monday morning. 275 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 2: We'll talk to the New Zealand Initiative just before six 276 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 2: about the low vote turnout seventy percent of us this week. 277 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 2: Now it can't be bothered. Why did we do that? 278 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 2: That is a very important question. One will try and 279 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 2: answer it well next and actually before six twenty four, 280 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 2: after five. 281 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: The early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio power By 282 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: News Talks. 283 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 10: They'd be. 284 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 2: Five twenty six news Talks. They'd be. If the Coalition 285 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 2: was looking for an endorsement of its rates cap idea, 286 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 2: then they got it. At the weekend of the eighteen 287 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 2: councils that whacked rate players will double digit hikes this year. 288 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 2: Thirteen elected new mayors, thirteen of the eighteen High ten 289 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 2: council mayors. Gone Newsroom has great coverage of the results 290 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 2: over the weekend. I don't know if you saw that, 291 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 2: but Mackindo one Hamilton, if the name sounds familiar to you, 292 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 2: he's a former National MP. Rates rowse there forty one 293 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 2: percent in three years, So go figure. Voters aren't stupid 294 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 2: and they should never be taken for granted. Rates hikes 295 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 2: are driving domestic inflation. We know this not only do 296 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 2: you pay more to your council, you also pay more 297 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 2: in interest rates because it helps keep them higher. It's 298 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 2: a double burn in the back pocket and voters know this. 299 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 2: Ratepayers know this, and next to your taxpayers will remember it. 300 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 2: Our most important city councils in Auckland, christ Church and 301 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 2: Hamilton sorry Wellington, are now led by right of center meyors. 302 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 2: The results speak for themselves, but their problem of courses 303 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 2: that these results are a very small sample size. Seventy 304 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 2: percent of us roughly didn't bother voting, and you can 305 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 2: ask ten pundits why and you will get ten different answers. 306 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 2: But I think the problem is pretty simple. The size 307 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 2: and scope of local government is completely out of control 308 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 2: in a small Pacific island nation at the bottom of 309 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 2: the world. We just elected fifteen hundred people to sit 310 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 2: around on seventy eight different councils. Mayors are one vote 311 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 2: at the table, so they aren't really that special. Low 312 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 2: turnout is not a rejection of the candidates. I don't 313 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 2: think it's a rejection of the whole system. It's too big, 314 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 2: there's too much compromise. It's all who know dew we 315 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 2: If the coalition listens to the thirty percent who did 316 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 2: vote and caps rates, which they are going to do. 317 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 2: They ought to listen to the overwhelming silent majority who didn't, 318 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 2: and that means throwing entire councils I think in the bin. 319 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 2: Chuck them in the rubbish. Have the number of councilors 320 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 2: that remain and give the mayor a veto power vote 321 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 2: so there's actually accountability and there's a vision and something 322 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 2: worth voting. Four the lowest voter turnout in thirty six 323 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 2: years is a mandate for change and change looks like 324 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 2: a giant local government bonfire. Bryan Bridge, twenty nine after five. 325 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 2: If you didn't vote at the weekend, I'd love to 326 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 2: know why.

Halle Lujas, says Scott. Finally someone agrees with me. 339 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 2: Get rid of the useless money wasting councils. Our entire 340 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 2: economy is the size of Victoria and Australia for goodness sakes, 341 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 2: and we waste millions on this. By the way, Scott 342 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 2: didn't vote because he was out of the country, didn't 343 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 2: get his papers in time. I think I think most 344 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 2: people wouldn't have voted. And this is just my theory, 345 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 2: but most people wouldn't have voted because it's too there's 346 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 2: too many of them. Who are they? Who has a 347 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 2: Nobody got the time to figure out who? You know, 348 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 2: Carol Wilson is from jim Burger's and there's like twenty 349 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 2: of them on your local council. And then there's a 350 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 2: mayor who only gets one vote. Anyway, I mean, what's 351 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,439 Speaker 2: the point in that. The whole thing's stupid? I just 352 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 2: think just just rip up and start again. Literally, and 353 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 2: seventy percent of New Zealanders wouldn't even notice, wouldn't even care. 354 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 2: Twenty three to six Graham bread Jar reporters around the 355 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 2: country for the results.

Here, 363 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 13: the incumbent Jules Raddock came in third in the end. 364 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 13: He'll remain on council, though he says he's celebrating his 365 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 13: wins as mayor, including shifting the council's focus to infrastructure 366 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 13: and doubling spending on water. Elsewhere in the South Go 367 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 13: Mayor Ben Bal's been re elected after a tumultuous three years, 368 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 13: and John Glover has unseated Glenn Lewis.

Yeah, that's right. 375 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 14: Phil Major has been re elected mayor with a decisive 376 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 14: victory in the end over outgoing councilor Sarah Templeton. But 377 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 14: the trouble is fulfilled Major. He'll once again leave a 378 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 14: left leaning council. This was tipped to be a very 379 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 14: tight race, but in the end Major walked away with 380 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 14: twenty thousand more votes. News Talks he'd be was with 381 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 14: Major in his living room after the results came through. 382 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,360 Speaker 14: He told us he would have liked counsel to look 383 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 14: a bit different Cie, perhaps a little less left leaning, 384 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,439 Speaker 14: but it has worked for the past three years and 385 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 14: he'll make it work again. Meanwhile, Counselor Lydia Glidden swept 386 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 14: a power in Selwyn, unseating Sam Broughton in a landside 387 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 14: victory Dan Gordon. He's been re elected in wy Marcaretti, 388 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 14: while eighty two year old transgender woman Jackie Grant's been 389 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 14: leading in Westland. She's on track to unseat Helen lash On. 390 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 2: Very good. How's your weather? 391 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 14: Some cloudy periods, a bit of scattered rain around midday 392 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 14: nor the least turning east and we should make twenty 393 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 14: degrees sheche is. 394 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 2: Clear, sounds BARMI have a nice day mix in Wellington. 395 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 2: Morning mes, good morning. Now what's the bigger story? Is 396 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 2: that Tory or is it Andrew? 397 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 15: Good question? You know, it could have been an interesting 398 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 15: race had Torri Fano stayed in. Perhaps Ray Chung may 399 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 15: have had a better shot. Perhaps that could have been 400 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 15: said before his old gossiping ways came back to haunt him. 401 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,120 Speaker 15: I think Andrew dil would have still run, and once 402 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 15: he announced he was running, I think it was effectively over. 403 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 15: You talk about the rest of the country, but Wellington 404 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 15: has shown itself to be a liberal town still Andrew 405 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 15: little coasting home to the meryalty some success, I think 406 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 15: in coming runner up for a local businessman, Kyle Tiefenbaker. 407 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 15: But the two big stories I think are the left 408 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 15: majority actually increasing at council level, a lot of Labour 409 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 15: now around that table, Tory Fanner, of course not being 410 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 15: able to win a seat at all defeated by Matthew 411 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 15: at Aweti in the Marii Ward, the final hammer coming 412 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 15: down on her Merylty finding it guilty of incompetence. Big 413 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 15: local named Ken Laban winning a Lower Hut That wasn't surprising, 414 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 15: But what was as well was Perry z. I'm told 415 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 15: it's pronounced za, but I don't believe it looking at it. 416 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 15: Beating the batter than Wayne Guppy was quite intriguing. She's 417 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 15: Upperhat's first new mayor in twenty four years, campaigning on 418 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 15: revitalizing the central city. What city there is? This central street? 419 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 15: The central street, she says, is daying. People are going 420 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,159 Speaker 15: to Lower Hut to shop. She's an urban planner and 421 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 15: transport advisors, so quite intriguing to see her beat Wayne 422 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 15: Guppy there. 423 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 2: Sadly is jeez, you pecked a lot in New Max. 424 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 2: How's your weather? 425 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 15: Cloudy, rainey, strong winds sixteen nice Jron, thank you, enjoy 426 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 15: and Michael sergles with us in Auckland morning. 427 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 2: Michael, good morning. Now you've been right across this all weekend, 428 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 2: and Wayne Brown is back. Lots of new councilors in 429 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 2: Auckland too. 430 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,360 Speaker 12: Yes, four councilors have retired and been replaced, and one 431 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,719 Speaker 12: of Wayne Brown's sort of endorsed candidates has replaced one 432 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 12: of his opponents, so a quarter of the council will 433 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 12: be new. Wayne Brown says he's ready to get a 434 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 12: new team together. Elsewhere, former National Minister to Macando will 435 00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 12: be the new mayor of Hamilton and a blast from 436 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 12: the part Nandal Tanjos remember him. Yeah, he's on track 437 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 12: to be the new mayor of Fokatane. 438 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 2: He's still got the same dreads. I think it's just 439 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 2: sitting in a selectivity room. And this is when I 440 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 2: was like very young and needs to go and watch 441 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 2: parliament because I was a geek. And he was sitting 442 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 2: there in a chair and he leaned back and his 443 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,120 Speaker 2: entire dread which he had up in like a bee 444 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 2: hive thing, fell off his head onto the floor and 445 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 2: he dragging it around the room, even puts it up, 446 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 2: pops it back on. Anyway, Now he's a mayor. 447 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 12: And he's actually campaigned for higher rates rises, so he's 448 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 12: probably the only one of the country doing that. 449 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 2: Wow. 450 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,479 Speaker 12: In terms of national trends, initial numbers show turn out 451 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 12: hovering around that thirty three percent mark, but there are 452 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 12: lots of late and special votes that will push that 453 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 12: number up. Lots of really really close races. This selection 454 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 12: in the far North, the top three candidates, there's just 455 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 12: thirty one votes between those top three candidates, so it 456 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 12: could go either way or any of those three ways 457 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 12: in that particular race. Miyas who over saw large rate 458 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 12: rises either opting to stand aside or being unseated. And 459 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,719 Speaker 12: lots of cases. More than half of me is who 460 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 12: are now in charge of councils weren't in charge during 461 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 12: the COVID pandemic went in charge more than three years ago. 462 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 12: Only a handful of now been in the job more 463 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 12: than six years. Okay, interesting, how's our weather shower is 464 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,959 Speaker 12: turning to rain this evening? Northwesterly's twenty two degrees? 465 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,679 Speaker 2: Michael, thank you. It is eighteen minutes away from six 466 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 2: year on News Talk ZB. We'll get to it. I 467 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 2: want to hear what then. I'm genuinely interested in what 468 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,679 Speaker 2: the New Zealand Initiative has to say about voter turnout. 469 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 2: They have a couple of ideas which I don't necessarily 470 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 2: agree with, about how you fix that, whether you should 471 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 2: fix it. We'll get to Gavin Gray in the UK 472 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 2: Next News Talk CREB it is caught it to six 473 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 2: the road cone tip line that everyone was so hot 474 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 2: for when it came out. Guess how many cones they've 475 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 2: managed to remove? Two hundred two hundred cones. The tip 476 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 2: line was launched in June and the government now says 477 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 2: it may need to adapt its strategy for the war 478 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 2: on road cones. In Huanganui apparently they actually had more cones. 479 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 2: The tip line led to more cones being put out 480 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 2: than taken away, which is not a great result. Is 481 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 2: that if you're trying to get rid of some and 482 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 2: Wellington one hundred and ten complaints made through the tip line? 483 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 2: How many cones? Drum roll? Please did they move or remove? 484 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 2: And Wellington too two cones? So that tells you one 485 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 2: of two things. Either the tip line was a dumb 486 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 2: idea or the rules are so overbearing that even if 487 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 2: you want to get rid of the road cones, you 488 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 2: can't because of the rules. 489 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 1: It's fourteen to six International correspondence with ins An Eye 490 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: Insurance Peace of Mind for New Zealand. 491 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 2: Business dama's off to a past summit in Egypt. Devin 492 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 2: Gray's our UK europ correspondent Gavin good morning. 493 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 7: Either are indeed he is, And the question is though 494 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 7: why I mean we It didn't appear to have had 495 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 7: a great deal to do with the settlement that was 496 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 7: Donald Trump. So many of his critics are saying he's 497 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 7: only going to sort of bask in the limelight that's 498 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 7: reflected off this piece deal from Donald Trump. He's also 499 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,120 Speaker 7: likely to pay particular tribute we're being told in Charmel 500 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 7: shape two Trump, which of course many will criticize him 501 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 7: of toadying up to the American president. And of course 502 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 7: all this set to happen, but only if Hamas actually 503 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 7: releases all the Israeli hostages believe to be twenty or 504 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 7: so who are still alive, that deadline coming up being 505 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 7: or fifteen hours or so, and we're still waiting to see, 506 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 7: of course, if that will happen. But Sakir Starmer is 507 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 7: basically going to say thank you to Donald Trump and 508 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 7: said now we need swift progress towards phase two of 509 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 7: the truce. UK will not be supplying any troops on 510 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,239 Speaker 7: the ground. However, and when asked what the UK is 511 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 7: doing and why Sakiir Starmer needs to go, one of 512 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 7: his ministers said, ah, well, we're helping organize private equity 513 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 7: to invest in the area. Afterwards, might not need to 514 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,920 Speaker 7: go there for that particular achievement. 515 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 2: There also might be just a little way away getting 516 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 2: putting the cast horse before the count. Whatever the saying is, 517 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 2: Hey tell me what if you're going to travel to 518 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 2: the EU, You're gonna have to do fingerprinting, You're going 519 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 2: to have to do facial recognition. 520 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 7: Yes, so things changing from today, although there will be 521 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 7: a transition period, and that is because this system has 522 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 7: been beset with technological delays over the last few months. 523 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 7: And what will now happen is instead of a stamp 524 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 7: in your passport, these things will be replaced by biometric checks, 525 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 7: so fingerprints and the scan of somebody's face in order 526 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 7: to cross the EU border. Anyone who says no, I'm 527 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 7: not doing that will be refused entry. And the UK 528 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 7: incidentally now has to do this because we're not part 529 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 7: of the EU. It was due to come into a 530 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 7: fac almost a year ago, but as I mentioned, lots 531 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 7: of technological delays involved in this, and the EU is 532 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,400 Speaker 7: saying that they will keep the data for three years, 533 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 7: so once you've had your biometric scan done, it should 534 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 7: be much quicker to get back in because you just 535 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 7: need to verify that person's biomes rather than take them 536 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 7: for the first time. Now, the question is have we 537 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 7: heard of any delays at the moment, and the answer 538 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 7: is no, not at the moment. But as I said, 539 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 7: this is only being sort of given a trial run 540 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 7: over the next few months. That are big concerns Ryan 541 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 7: that here UK and elsewhere trying to get into the 542 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 7: EU will lead to massive cues at the airport check 543 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 7: in places and at the passport control places. But so 544 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 7: far today it seems to be going okay. 545 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 2: All right, Kevin Gray, are UK you correspondent. It is 546 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 2: eleven to six, Ryan Bridge, So most of us didn't vote. 547 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 2: Seventy percent of us roughly didn't by the voting in 548 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 2: the local elections, it could be the worst turnout in 549 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 2: thirty six years, worse than Auckland. Initial figures showing just 550 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 2: over twenty three percent voted. Nick Clark is senior fellow 551 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 2: at the New Zealand Initiative with me this morning, Nick, 552 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Ryan. Now you're going to tell 553 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 2: me that we need to make voting easier and we 554 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 2: need better candidates and that will get us out voting. 555 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 2: Do you think that's enough? Do you think we need 556 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 2: to do more like reform councils altogether. 557 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 16: I think my view on that is that if you 558 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 16: look at the turnout sets around the country, probably the 559 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 16: places that have the higher voter turnout tend to be 560 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 16: the smaller councils. Whereas in the sort of the received 561 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 16: wisdom and New Zealanders that we need bigger is better 562 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 16: and we need to consolidate, and we need to do this, 563 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 16: that and the other. But actually it might be in 564 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 16: a bit of an out. Their solution might be to 565 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 16: make councils more local rather than less local. And in 566 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 16: countries like Switzerland and the like, they have thousands of 567 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 16: the units of local government seems to work a lot 568 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 16: better than ours. 569 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 2: Do they have the council laws in those countries? Do 570 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 2: they have the same power as ours? The meyor no 571 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 2: veto vote? You know, we have a council mayor system 572 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 2: rather than a mayor council system. 573 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 16: Yep, Yes, well, a lot of those, A lot of 574 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 16: the international experiences that strong mayors also with relatively stronger 575 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 16: counselors as well, who could hold their council to scrutiny, 576 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 16: to account better. I certainly seem to have better performance 577 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 16: and are able to get things done a lot, a 578 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 16: lot better. There's also more competitive system where councilors actually 579 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 16: compete with themselves to attract businesses and jobs and things 580 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 16: like that. 581 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 2: When you say that we need to attract better candidates, 582 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 2: does that mean paying them more? 583 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 16: Not necessarily, I mean no, I wouldn't say so. I mean, 584 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 16: certainly they don't get paid a lot at the moment. 585 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 16: But I would say the better way to get better 586 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 16: candidates would be to actually give counselors and mayors in particular, 587 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 16: the ability to actually make things happen and work to 588 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 16: their mandates and to their promises they've made. They're not 589 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 16: stifled or muzzled. They actually have the ability to get 590 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 16: better information out of their councils, which can be incredibly 591 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 16: difficult at times. They need to be able to, you know, 592 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 16: just just basically tilt that playing field back and say 593 00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 16: with the elected representatives compared to the council bureaucracy which 594 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 16: tend to lead them somewhat. 595 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 2: Appreciate your times wanting, Nick Clark. With the New Zealand initiative, 596 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 2: it is six to eight, sorry, six to six you're 597 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 2: on News Talk. 598 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: SeeDB get ahead of the headlines on an early edition 599 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: with Ryan Bridge and RV Supercenter explore RVs accessories and 600 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: servicing all in one News Talks. 601 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 2: D B six on News Talks, HEB, have you've flown quantuslately? Congratulations? 602 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 2: Your private details are now probably on the dark web. 603 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 2: Six million customers. This is an old story. It came 604 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 2: about in July. There was a cyber attack on It 605 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 2: was not Quantus, but it was a platform that they use. 606 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 2: Cyber attack. There six million customers, your names, email addresses, 607 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 2: phone numbers dated birth, your frequent flyer number that gets stolen. 608 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 2: And then at the weekend it was revealed that it's 609 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 2: now for sale, that they just published it on the 610 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 2: dark web. So that's great. There was a guy doing 611 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 2: an interview on ABC Radio at the week and he 612 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 2: gave his friend the last two digits of his frequent 613 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 2: flying number. He went online, searched it, found his personal 614 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 2: details and email address within a matter of minutes. So 615 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 2: that's great, isn't it. I just think we need to 616 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 2: stop companies from being able to ask us for our 617 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 2: private details.
