But what's happening is pigs, stoaks, dere 17 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 2: all sorts are festering in there and coming across the 18 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 2: border into their farmland and harming it.

And 23 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 3: I don't know what the hell happened to Putin. I've 24 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 3: known him a long time, always gotten along with him, 25 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 3: but he's sending rockets into cities and killing people, and 26 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 3: I don't like it at all. 27 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 2: Okay, so he's still threatening further sanctions, and as I said, 28 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 2: the Europeans are stepping up. We'll get to that in 29 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 2: a sick Meanwhile, the EU off the hook for now 30 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 2: for tariffs until the July the ninth.

But that was just, you know, the 33 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 2: art of the deal. 34 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 4: I don't believe for a second that the EU will 35 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 4: be willing to accept a similar trade deal to the 36 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 4: one that Trump struck with the British government, which basically 37 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 4: enabled Trump to impose higher tariffs on British exports for 38 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 4: very little, if any real chat. That won't work with you. 39 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 2: More Israeli shelling on Gaza Overnight, fifty four Palestinians killed, 40 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 2: most of them in a school building sheltering. 41 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 5: It was indescribable, buddy parts, short bodies, the smell of burning, 42 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 5: a squea to God, our hearts of dy. 43 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 2: Now Over in Liverpool in the UK, they're going nuts, 44 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: hundreds of thousands in the streets celebrating their twentieth top 45 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 2: flight football title. 46 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 6: We're going to have this river of red flowing down 47 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 6: to the Mersey and this explosion of joy and celebration 48 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 6: as those Liverpool players show off that Premier League trophy. 49 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on the edition with one roof make your 50 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: Property Search Simple, youth dog. 51 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 2: Zibby Good morning. So we'll start with Frederick Mertz. This 52 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 2: is Mertz rhymes with skirts, by the way, is the 53 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 2: German chancellor. Now he has come out and said overnight 54 00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 2: that any long range missile that you crane wants to 55 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 2: use to fire at Russia, go for it. Now. Whether 56 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 2: they'll actually back that up with the weapons that Ukraine 57 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 2: has been asking for. There's a Taurus missile that they've 58 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 2: been wanting to get their hands on from the Germans 59 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 2: in particular. It's got a range of five hundred kilometers. 60 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: Whether they will give them those we don't know. But 61 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 2: what we do know is the Lenski's heading to Berlin, 62 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 2: which is probably a good sign from his perspective. So 63 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 2: that where the British did this, Remember last year November 64 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 2: last year, they said, I will give you our shadow missiles. 65 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 2: They're the longer range ones. You want to get further 66 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 2: inside Russian start pounding them where it hurts. So the 67 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 2: Brits allowed that. Now the Germans have done the same, 68 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 2: The French have already done the same. So basically the 69 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 2: West is saying Russia, we're coming for you, which is interesting, 70 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 2: isn't it, because they were a little soft footed just 71 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 2: a few weeks back. I'll give you some sanctions and 72 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 2: we'll put a deadline, and then they never met the deadline. 73 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 2: Now they're saying, hey, there's some big long range missiles. 74 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: They're coming your way. Persent. Oh, the Krewmen's already responded 75 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 2: saying this is a quote dangerous move, but maybe it'll 76 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 2: be maybe it'll force their hand. Ten after five. Now 77 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 2: the police situation, so obviously the police can't go to 78 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 2: every call out every time a lollipop gets stolen from 79 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 2: a dairy. You can't send a police officer with a taser, 80 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 2: even though you'd like to. But that's come out with 81 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 2: this directive, and they've said, even if there are lines 82 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 2: of inquiry, anything under five hundred bucks is basically fine. 83 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 2: I mean, if someone steals a tank of gas, even 84 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 2: if there are positive lines of inquiry, they're not going 85 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 2: to investigate. And then they came on the radio yesterday 86 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 2: and said, oh no, we might investigate if there's CCTV 87 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 2: footage availer. Basically if someone else has done half the 88 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 2: job for us, if we know the number played or 89 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 2: this CCTV or something like that. I mean, no, you 90 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 2: cannot have every tiny little incident and crime investigated. But 91 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,119 Speaker 2: this is a This has got to be a bad look, 92 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 2: not just for police but for Mark Mitchell. What they 93 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 2: did over in Los Angeles, over in California when they said, oh, 94 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 2: I know, you can basically get away with anything under 95 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 2: eight hundred bucks, and they did. People came into the 96 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 2: shops and just filled their boots. It's not a great 97 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 2: look for them, is it. Nine two eleven after five. 98 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day Early 99 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof make your Property 100 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: search symbol. 101 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 2: Newstalk said the five point thirteen on your Tuesday Morning 102 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 2: over an Australia Health Scope is a company, a private 103 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 2: hospital operator, and it's just collapsed. It's gone on to 104 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 2: receiver ship. They've got nineteen thousand star thirty seven hospitals. 105 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 2: Get this though responsible. This is a private hospital operator 106 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 2: responsible for seventy percent of all elective surgeries and a 107 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 2: quarter of all births in Australia, private hospitals. And we 108 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 2: moan here about the role of a private hospital in 109 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 2: our health system. Well, they seem to be getting away 110 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 2: with it quite fine. No government bailout, by the way 111 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 2: for this company. They've got enough cash on hand, they've 112 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 2: got some extra lending from the banks. They reckon they 113 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 2: was sell the hospitals. Lots of buyers came fourteen after five. 114 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 2: Rich farmers fuming this morning. They say carbon farms have 115 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:15,239 Speaker 2: been harboring pests like stoats, possums, feral pegs, deer coming 116 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 2: onto their land and harming livestock with no accountability. There's 117 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 2: a new campaign out to as save our sheep. Andrew 118 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 2: Hoggard is the Associate Agriculture Minister with me this morning. Andrew, 119 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 2: good morning, Come on, all right, hey, what's happening with 120 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 2: the pests coming across? 121 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 7: I mean it's being growing problem over the last three 122 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 7: or four years, and quite frankly, I think go back 123 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 7: to the COVID lofty in it just seemed like there 124 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 7: was a explosion in pest numbers across firms. On seeing 125 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 7: more and more deer on my place than I ever 126 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 7: did before, and so a combination of people not going 127 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 7: out hunting just allowed lots of breeding. And I think 128 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 7: in terms of the you know, those forestry blocks swing, 129 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 7: I'm going to have a look into. And we're redoing 130 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 7: the Biosecurity Act at the moment, and I know in 131 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 7: the old Act there was always a duty of a 132 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 7: landowner to maintain control pests within their boundary and make 133 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 7: sure they're not going across their boundary to other people's property. 134 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 7: So I'll take a double look at what we're proposing 135 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 7: there as to whether or not that needs to be 136 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 7: strengthened up. 137 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 2: So you would potentially put more onus on the carbon 138 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 2: farmers to look after the deer and the peaces and 139 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 2: the stoats and everything on their land so that it 140 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 2: doesn't go and annoy everybody else. 141 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean definitely, I mean that's part of the 142 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 7: deal would be, you know, you look after you're responsible 143 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 7: for what happens on your property, and you should not 144 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 7: be exporting problems from across your property to your neighbors. 145 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 7: To your duty as a landowner to control your what's 146 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 7: happening in your property, make sure those problems don't go 147 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 7: across what's the. 148 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 2: Fin what happens at the moment, if that's found to have. 149 00:07:53,000 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 7: Happened basically from memory, and I've only ever heard about 150 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 7: this in terms of weed pests. You know, the regional 151 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 7: council might come by and say, hey, you've got too 152 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 7: many thistles or whatever on your property. You need to 153 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 7: go and manage them. I don't think, to be honest, 154 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 7: that it's something up until this point that's ever really 155 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 7: been a big well acted or look or looked at 156 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 7: even or taken seriously. So you know, potentially this is 157 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 7: something we do need to look into. 158 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 2: A lot of what could you do? I mean obviously 159 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 2: it would probably be hard to will presumably be quite 160 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: hard to prove. 161 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 7: H I mean, yeah, that would be something would need 162 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,959 Speaker 7: to have a look into. I mean you can easily 163 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 7: do counts of animals and go, well, look there's a 164 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 7: truckload of pigs here. You need to This has become 165 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 7: a problem and you can see the damage that there's 166 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 7: been occurring on neighboring property and you know, make some 167 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 7: sort of slap them with a fine, l fine or 168 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 7: just a direction that they need to take care of 169 00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 7: these pests and invest in getting hunters into remove these pests. 170 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 2: Is the expansion of carbon farms the reason that this 171 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 2: save our Sheep campaign is getting underway. 172 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 7: I think it's part of the reason. Another part is 173 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 7: the I believe concerned about what might be happening in 174 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 7: terms of methane targets. But yeah, we haven't had those 175 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 7: discussions between parties yet as to what those targets may 176 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 7: well be. So I think they're probably putting a stake 177 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 7: in the ground. 178 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 2: When are those chats happening? 179 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 8: Not sure. 180 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 7: I'm not the one that is required to have The 181 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 7: other ministers have to chat with me, not the other 182 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 7: way around.

Industry of 197 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 2: leaders say Winston Peters has not once consulted on them 198 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,199 Speaker 2: about the policy they announced in December. They say a 199 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 2: thousand people's livelihoods will be affected. Nearly three thousand dogs 200 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 2: need to be re honed by twenty twenty six. Craig 201 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 2: Roberts is a greyhound trainer with us this morning. Craig, 202 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 2: good morning, Yeah. 203 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 8: Good morning, Ryan, Good morning listeners. 204 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 2: How long have you been doing this? 205 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 8: A very long time, Ryan, over forty years? 206 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 2: And is this your livelihood? 207 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 8: Yes, it is that. Obviously it started off as a 208 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 8: hobby because Bake, when I started in greyhound racing, you'd 209 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 8: win a ribbon in about twenty five dollars. So over 210 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 8: the years, as the sport's growing and become part of 211 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 8: the tab I've been lucky enough to be able to 212 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 8: earn a living and it's been my lifestyle and my 213 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 8: whole family's lifestyle ever since. 214 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 2: How many dogs you got, Craig, I sort of I. 215 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 8: Sort of hover around thirty five to forty race dogs 216 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 8: and try to have about twenty five to thirty racing. 217 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 2: And what are you going to do with them all? 218 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 8: Well, we're going to well, of course, this is all. 219 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 8: If the band comes into force on the first of 220 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 8: August twenty twenty six, it will be about two and 221 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 8: a half thousand to three thousand dogs to ree home. 222 00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 8: We will we will be making sure that they do 223 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 8: find homes, and it will be a long, long process 224 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 8: of possibly up to three to four years. But if 225 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 8: the band does go ahead, those greyhounds will be well 226 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 8: looked after and they will be here with us until 227 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 8: they find homes. 228 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 2: You've got your judicial review underway. Can you understand why 229 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 2: pub maybe people who are n't involved in greyhound raising, 230 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 2: why people don't like it? 231 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 8: Yes, well I can. My opinion on that is that 232 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 8: they have been fed a lot of misinformation and exaggeration 233 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 8: of statistics from a small group of people that are 234 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 8: very vigilant and very aggressive in the deliverance of their 235 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 8: hatred of greyhound racing. 236 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 2: How many dogs have died under your watch in your 237 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 2: forty years or. 238 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 8: Injured of my own, probably through through racing injuries over 239 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 8: forty years. I wouldn't even I'd have to have an 240 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 8: add up, but it wouldn't be it would be single figures, 241 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 8: put it that way. But there have there have been 242 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 8: dogs that have suffered injuries. Obviously. I've got a beautiful 243 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 8: ten year old, beautiful bed white and brindle male. He 244 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,079 Speaker 8: hit his leg when he was about three years old. 245 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 8: He's lived a fantastic like he was us. He's he 246 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 8: got operated on, he recovered, happy as there he's now. 247 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 8: He's there or I think he's about eleven years old now. 248 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 8: And there's hundreds of those sort of cases, thousands probably 249 00:13:55,240 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 8: over that many years. But you know, most, probably ninety 250 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 8: five percent of the injuries that are recorded for greyhounds 251 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 8: are not serious injuries. They are just injuries that prevent 252 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 8: them from racing for a short period of time and 253 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 8: then they then they retraverl from that and they get 254 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 8: back into the ratio. 255 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 2: I'm back at it, Craig. I appreciate you coming on 256 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 2: the program. That's Craig Roberts, greyhound trainer and a board 257 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 2: member with Greyhound Racing New Zealand. It's worth one hundred 258 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 2: and fifty nine million dollars to the economy every year. 259 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 2: He pays his butcher by the way, seven to ten 260 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 2: grand a week for meat, and half of the local 261 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 2: vets clients are racing dogs. So it's going to have 262 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 2: a big impact. And twenty twenty six is the end date, 263 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 2: basically twenty five minutes after five or talk more about Chippy, 264 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 2: Labor and what Winston has said about the next the early. 265 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: Edition full show podcast on IHARM Radio powered by NEWSTALKSB. 266 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 2: News Talks B. It is twenty seven minutes after five. 267 00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 2: So Winston has definitively he ruled out working with Labour, 268 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 2: not just Chippy but Labor. He had, of course, already 269 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 2: pretty much done this earlier in the year after his 270 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 2: State of the Nation address in which he called the 271 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 2: Labour leadership a bunch of liars and unreformed losers. Remember that, 272 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 2: but this is crystal clear out he's spoken to Thomas 273 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 2: Coglan at the Herald and its affirm Nah no, he's 274 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 2: holding up that sign. This is interesting for two reasons. One, 275 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 2: Winston's a political wizard. We know this. He knows how 276 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 2: to read the room and play the game. This is 277 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 2: not a random outburst from Winnie. This is a calculated 278 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 2: decision based on the path he thinks will get New 279 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 2: Zealand first back to the Treasury benches in twenty twenty six. 280 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 2: By virtue of ruling them out, he has reduced his 281 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 2: bargaining power, which is not an outcome that a kingmaker 282 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 2: like him takes lightly. The key to his success on 283 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 2: the campaign trail has always been as much about what 284 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 2: he stands against as what he stands for. Think immigration, 285 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 2: think treaty issues. He's decided that in twenty twenty six, 286 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 2: the punching bag will be a three headed clown show 287 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 2: marriage of the Greens, Labor and to Party Mardi. He's 288 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 2: read the room and he's picked his side. In twenty 289 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 2: twenty three, Winston ruled out Labor before Chippy definitively ruled 290 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 2: out Winston. Remember that our Chippy has yet to do 291 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 2: the same for twenty twenty six, and he's now missed 292 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 2: his chance and any moral high ground that went with it. Remember, 293 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 2: Hipkins must appeal to a base that despises the anti 294 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 2: woke agenda that Winston pedals. This year alone, he's labeled 295 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 2: him a pale version of Donald Trump, a conspiracy theorist, 296 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 2: a spokesman for the tobacco lobby, you name it, and 297 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 2: Hipkins's failure to rule out working with him kind of 298 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 2: undermines the high horse that he canters around the Parliament 299 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 2: on his approtestations now will sound rather hollow. So it's interesting, 300 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 2: isn't it, Winston, not just for Chippy but for labor. 301 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 2: It is a hard no. Ryan bredg twenty nine after 302 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 2: five year on Newstalk said, would love your feedback nine 303 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 2: two nine two. When something gets stolen it's worth less 304 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 2: than five hundred bucks. Who you're gonna call? We'll look 305 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 2: at that. Just before six, Donald demo out of Australia 306 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 2: and our reporters. Next on news Talk said ban. 307 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 1: You on your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition 308 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: with Ryan Bridge and one roof make your property search simple. 309 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: News Talk said, Bill. 310 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 2: Is twenty four minutes away from sexier. On news Talk 311 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 2: said b elon Musk is moving a lot of resource 312 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,439 Speaker 2: to try and get to Marsie rickens, he'll have the 313 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 2: starship rocket ready for Mars by next year. Did we 314 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 2: believe that anyway? He's diverting resources, huge resources from other 315 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 2: projects to go towards this. There are going to test 316 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 2: an experimental vehicle sometime today, So we'll make sure we 317 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 2: keep you across that. It's always quite interesting to at 318 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 2: least watch it. Isn't it so ready for a Mars 319 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 2: mission by next year. In recent months, employees have been 320 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 2: moving into starship roles, including some Dragon Space Spacecraft staffers 321 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 2: who were reassigned in mid May. This is according to 322 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 2: people familiar with the matter. It's SpaceX. There's Elon must 323 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,360 Speaker 2: fix this morning. So many texts about police not following 324 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 2: up on shoplifting or what so called minor thefts. Ryan, 325 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 2: you can steal anything you want from Facebook marketplace these days. 326 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 2: I made a report from art and valued over two 327 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 2: thousand dollars, but the police said they don't look into 328 00:18:54,920 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 2: marketplace fraud. I even had security camera footage, Ryan, and 329 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 2: just say your stuff was worth five hundred and one dollars. 330 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 2: It's not a bad idea because how do they know? Yeah, 331 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 2: just lie. I mean, you don't want to lie to 332 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 2: the police, But then if you need to do something 333 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 2: to get their attention, don't you. The problem is if 334 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 2: you don't think that they are going to do anything 335 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,640 Speaker 2: about it, you won't report it. And if you don't 336 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 2: report it, we don't know how bad crime is. And 337 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 2: what happens when we don't know how bad or we 338 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 2: don't feel like police are doing something about crime.

What's going on with the council 390 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 2: wage bill? 391 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 5: Front page of the Post today. The consultant costs for 392 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 5: the city council here more than double in five years, 393 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 5: the overall wage bill up forty percent. What's really bleak 394 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 5: is this is despite them cutting more than one hundred 395 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 5: and twenty employees last year. A lot of gravy on 396 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 5: this train. In twenty twenty seventeen people were paid over 397 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 5: two hundred k a year. That's now thirty nine and 398 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 5: yet there's still the need to spend fifty nine million 399 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 5: dollars in the last financial year on consultants. Apparently, the 400 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 5: council's argument is these salary and wage increases just reflect 401 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 5: the increased investment in the city, the increased delivery of services. 402 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 5: I wonder if Wellingtonians feel like they're being forty percent 403 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 5: more listened to councilor Nicolay Young calls that municipal bloat. 404 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 5: Tony Randall told the Post the council's refusal to look 405 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 5: at staffing and efficiency levels only kicks the can down 406 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,360 Speaker 5: the road. The government's eye firmly on the council this 407 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 5: financial year. 408 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 2: How's your weather? 409 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,360 Speaker 5: Cloudy this morning but improving seventeen the high Thank you. 410 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 2: And never with us.

Have you got 506 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 2: your meeting with Mitchell yet? 507 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 14: We've certainly been in touch with his office and at 508 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 14: the moment where it's just trying to coordinate diaries. 509 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,400 Speaker 2: Can you under stand this because on the one hand, 510 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,439 Speaker 2: they say, even if there are lines of inquiry, we 511 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 2: won't look into this if it's less than five hundred bucks. 512 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 2: Then you had them last night saying well, if there's 513 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 2: CCTV and other evidence, then maybe we will. 514 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 3: Yeah. 515 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 14: Look, I think the police have clarified their position and 516 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 14: that's certainly helpful. You know, retailers know that police aren't 517 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 14: going to show up to this small very minor case 518 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 14: of shop listing, but we certainly want to know that 519 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 14: they're taking these crimes seriously and that where they can, 520 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 14: they will be following up and resting. Often there are 521 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 14: peace offenders, so we know who they are and police 522 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 14: know who they are, so we want to particularly focus 523 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 14: on those people. 524 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 2: Retail crime's worth about two point six billion every year. 525 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 2: What's the average value of an item stolen? Do you 526 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 2: think would it be less than five hundred bucks? 527 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 14: Well, look, I don't know the average value, but it 528 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 14: can be. But you know a lot of things, A 529 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 14: lot of five hundred dollars items over time add up 530 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 14: to a lot, and so you know, it's kind of 531 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 14: lease the value of the items and the more of 532 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 14: the impact that it has on the retailers and their staff, 533 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 14: and especially over time, you know, coming to work every 534 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 14: day not knowing what you're going to be coming up against, 535 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 14: and that's that's tough. 536 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 2: And the worst part about all of this, of course, 537 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 2: is we're talking about it. It's in the news, and 538 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 2: if you are a criminal, you'll be going sweet, I 539 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 2: can as so long as I don't leave any evidence, 540 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 2: Like we're a beanie and a hoodie. Then if it's 541 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 2: less than five hundred bcs. Basically I'm off scot free. 542 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 14: Well, like I say, a lot of the time, we 543 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 14: know who they are, the police know who they are, 544 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 14: and from what police are saying now, they are going 545 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 14: to collect the information and use that to build up 546 00:29:55,400 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 14: a case. So we're certainly encouraging our members to keep 547 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 14: on reporting all crimes. 548 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 2: And we need pa Ry, do you think we need 549 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 2: you know how we've got judges, but then we have jps. 550 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 2: Do you think we need an equivalent for the police 551 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 2: for low level crime where you know, police are obviously busy, 552 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 2: they've got murders and things to solve. But if they 553 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,719 Speaker 2: had if they had delegated powers to some you know, 554 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 2: I don't know, some older gentlemen who might be retired 555 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 2: and looking for something to do. 556 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 14: Oh, I think you're straying into very dangerous territory there, Ryan, 557 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 14: When you start talking about vigilante justice and that type 558 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 14: of thing, don't you well enough? 559 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not saying they go around shooting people, 560 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 2: but maybe just maybe just investigating where the police can't 561 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,040 Speaker 2: because I mean, otherwise, as you say, two point six 562 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 2: billion dollars and I reckon most a lot of thefts. 563 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 2: And by the way, forty percent of retailers don't even 564 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 2: report the thefts. Most of those thefts would be for 565 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 2: less than five hundred dollars, So that means that most 566 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 2: retail crime probably wouldn't get either reported or investigated. And 567 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 2: you wonder way you got a problem?

A potted plant. Well, it 583 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 10: was an outdoor hanging plant, like you know the outdoors 584 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 10: when you. 585 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 2: Have like a porch. Was it made of gold? 586 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,239 Speaker 10: No, it wasn't. And that was the funny thing. At 587 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 10: the time, I thought, this is I've never claimed it. 588 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 10: This particular point in time, I thought, I paid insurance 589 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 10: all these years and I've never claimed anything. This potted 590 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 10: plant got nicked, and so I thought, I'm going to 591 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 10: claim for this, and I did, and then I thought, 592 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 10: that's ridiculous, How stupid is that? And I've never claimed 593 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 10: for insurance ever on anything ever since. 594 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 2: When I say me, I mean actually my partner who's 595 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 2: done it for jewelry and sunglasses? 596 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 10: Sunglasses sunglasses like nice ones were they? 597 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 2: I don't get the nice ones.

What do you 604 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 2: pay for? 605 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 10: What do you pay for health insurance? 606 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 2: That's that's my partner question. 607 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 10: Hundreds And I pay hundreds and hundreds of dollars a 608 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 10: month for I mean, look at me, I mean, come on, 609 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 10: you back me, wouldn't. 610 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 2: You what you want me to say? 611 00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 10: You don't look like a guy who needs any work.
