So do you give generously? 41 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 2: One in three Kiwis will get cancer in their lifetime. 42 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: It's a very sad stat Wellington, Kansas Society Chief EXECI 43 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 2: of Daryl Carpenter is encouraging people to donate. That acknowledges 44 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 2: not everyone can. 45 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 5: That's okay, even just a smile and please carry on 46 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 5: the good work. 47 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 4: Encourages our people. 48 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with 49 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and 50 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: a playing store. 51 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 2: News Talk said, Bee, you're just joining us the tie Hoddle. 52 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 2: This is the team New Zealand's boat for the opening 53 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 2: day of the Challenger stage of the America's Cup. So 54 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 2: there's a crane. It lifts the boat into its little 55 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 2: cradle to go to bed at night and drops it. 56 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 2: Not a map from a great height by the sounds 57 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 2: of it, but drops it a little bit. And they're 58 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 2: trying to figure out what's wrong with the boat. That 59 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,959 Speaker 2: why they only get one boat. That doesn't seem fair 60 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,399 Speaker 2: to me. If you're playing tennis, you get as many 61 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 2: tennis rackets as you want. Why I only get one boat. 62 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 2: I assume it's something to do with funding or fairness 63 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 2: or I don't know. If you better make one boat 64 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 2: and make it unsinkable. I guess that's the point. Somebody 65 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 2: else will know. Nine two ninety two is the number 66 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 2: to text. We're going to talk rugby in just a 67 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 2: few moments. But interesting couple of interesting things to start 68 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,239 Speaker 2: the morning with China. So Jake Sullivan, who's the National 69 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 2: Security advisor to Biden. He's spent the week. We mentioned 70 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 2: this earlier on spent the week in China. He's basically 71 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 2: the calm, the farm guy for the US at the moment. Obviously, 72 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 2: the US election is coming, and he's saying, don't worry, mate, 73 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 2: will be sweet. You know, nothing really will change now. 74 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 2: Shijinpang is quite worried about Trump getting into power, and 75 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 2: with good reason. And she and Biden met in California 76 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 2: in November last year, and they made a bunch of agreements. 77 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 2: Biden said, you know, we're not going to do a 78 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 2: cold war thing with China. That's great. We're not going 79 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 2: to you know, we're going to cooperate in a whole 80 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 2: bunch of areas. The big problem, though, of course, is 81 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 2: that Trump has promised a sixty percent across the board 82 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,239 Speaker 2: tariff on Chinese goods coming into America, sixty percent plus 83 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 2: by the way ten percent for everybody else. So when 84 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 2: little old Jake Sullivan left the Great Hall of the 85 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 2: People in Beijing last night, you can just imagine the 86 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 2: Chinese what they would have been thinking. Oh, that was 87 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 2: a nice cup of tea. But ultimately it's meaningless, isn't 88 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 2: it what we're talking about. It's meaningless because of this 89 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 2: pesky little thing in the West they call democracy, and 90 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 2: once that vote happens in November, things could all change, 91 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge. Eleven minutes after five. We'll keep you up 92 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 2: to speed what's happening in the West Bank. Also in 93 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 2: christ Church, christ Church the following Auckland's lead when it 94 00:04:54,920 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 2: comes to Booze. So nine pm and from December is 95 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 2: when you're going to be able to Is the cutoff time? 96 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 2: If you want to buy off license, you cannot do 97 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 2: it after nine pm? Is that really going to solve 98 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 2: our problems drinking problems? I don't think so. Eleven after five, Hey. 99 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge, New for twenty twenty four on early edition 100 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store, 101 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: News talks. 102 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 2: It'd be on our broken boat. This is from Tayaney 103 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 2: says Team carew has allowed two boats challenges only one, 104 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 2: So there you go. Fourteen minutes after five if you're 105 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 2: just joining us, There's been some sort of issue where 106 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: the ty hoddle our boat over at the Challenger stage 107 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 2: of the America's Cup was being lifted into its cradle 108 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 2: to go to sleep at night and was dropped a 109 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 2: little bit on its head. Hopefully it'll be all right. 110 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 2: They're looking into it. Fourteen minutes after five. Now the 111 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 2: hawks Bay Regional Council is facing flak over a Facebook 112 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 2: post which features photos of patched gang members inside council chambers. 113 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 2: Now the council uploaded the posts to Facebook. It included 114 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 2: the gang members celebrating the decision to retain the Maori wards. 115 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 2: Simon Brown, who's the local government minister, is really upset 116 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,239 Speaker 2: at this. He said it was appalling. They are intimidating 117 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 2: and you're not allowed patches. It's against the law. So 118 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 2: what were they doing there? Honeywhite Armspi's the hawks Bay 119 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 2: Regional Council chair and she joins me this morning, Mordena 120 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 2: Mardina Ryan, thanks for being with me.

What do you reckon? 122 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 6: Yeah? 123 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 7: So I'd just like to take us through sort of 124 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 7: the event that happened on Wednesday. So we're in council chambers. 125 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 7: We were obviously discussing an important matter around Mardi representations 126 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 7: through our two Marti constituencies. And look, that was a 127 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 7: very calm environment. Near the end, in the middle of deliberations, 128 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 7: we had mongol Old members come into the chambers. It 129 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 7: was it was quite packed as it was, and the 130 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 7: best thing in that situation ready to do was bring 131 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 7: the discussion to a conclusion and allow the chamber to 132 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 7: disperse because the item was over and it was a 133 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 7: unanimous vote to support and retain those Mali constituencies, which 134 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 7: gives us the opportunity to go to rest Gringdom and 135 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 7: give the community the opportunity now to explain the many 136 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 7: benefits of having Mary boys are on the table. So 137 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 7: that that's really what had happened on Facebook, So that 138 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 7: that was our staff and you know that was probably 139 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 7: not not a good move, and that they did come 140 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 7: down a couple of them afterwards. So that was the 141 00:07:58,560 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 7: discussion that. 142 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: They had with our c Do you guys have security. 143 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 7: Not full time security. 144 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 2: So we're there security that they're on the day, No. 145 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 7: Not that I was aware of. So when I looked 146 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 7: into whether we have a policy now, given this is 147 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 7: the first time it's happened in the Hawks Bay Regional Council, 148 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 7: we don't have a policy around beanning game pictures. But 149 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 7: we need to have one now of course because the 150 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 7: laws we. 151 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 2: Don't because presumably, I mean, I don't know what your 152 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,199 Speaker 2: alcohol or drugs policy is, but it's against the law 153 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 2: smoke meta. You wouldn't let someone come in and smoke 154 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 2: methan in your chamber, do you know what I mean? 155 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 7: No, no, And it's against the law and the laws 156 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 7: enforced by police, and in this situation and council buildings 157 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 7: you'd have a policy. And those that provide public service 158 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 7: areas like a district and city councils have a really 159 00:08:54,640 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 7: strong robust policy around beanning game pictures. It's never happened 160 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 7: for us, so one, but we will have one now. 161 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 2: In the future. Call you'd call one one one, I guess, 162 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 2: would you, and say yeah, because we're. 163 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 7: Follow a policy that looked at, you know, asking those 164 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 7: members leave your jackets in the car not acceptable to 165 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 7: bring in the building. 166 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 2: Did they say anything while over there anyway? 167 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:24,559 Speaker 6: No? 168 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 7: No, And look in the room. It was very peaceful 169 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 7: come in a celebratory one. There was no there was 170 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 7: no words from them, there was no intimidation, no one 171 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 7: felt no, no, and you know, just just to be 172 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 7: clear that they came through near the end of the item, 173 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 7: and so the best thing was was to carry on, 174 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 7: bring it to its conclusion, and then allow people to 175 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,599 Speaker 7: leave once we exposures. 176 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 4: Anyway, that's a situation. 177 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 2: Thank you right, thank you very much for your time 178 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 2: for explaining it to us. I really appreciate Hennaway Ormsby, 179 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 2: who is the Hawks Bay Regional Council chair. It's just 180 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 2: gone eighteen minutes after five. I'm in two minds about 181 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 2: this one, because, on the one hand, don't you want, 182 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,559 Speaker 2: no matter who they are, don't you want people in society, 183 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 2: especially those on the fringes of society, to be involved 184 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 2: in democracy. I mean, wouldn't you rather that among your 185 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 2: mob member was attending a no offense boring Hawks Bay 186 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 2: Regional Council meeting, then I don't know, peddling misery on 187 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 2: the streets, then beating someone up, then robbing a house 188 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 2: or you know, stealing a car. Part of me goes, well, 189 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 2: isn't this what we want? Don't we want them to 190 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 2: be involved in the political process so that perhaps they 191 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 2: feel like they have some you know, agency over over 192 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 2: the place. Maybe it would change this situation. The other 193 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 2: side of me goes, they are absolute thugs who do things. 194 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 2: And I was reading this morning. This is the chapter, 195 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 2: the local chapter, Central Hawk's Bay Chapter. A laughing mongrel 196 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 2: mob prospect was jailed. This is just last year. Jailed 197 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 2: laughed as he stomped on the head of a defenseless man, 198 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 2: yelling sig effing hail, and then goes to jail for murder. 199 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 2: So I don't know, I don't know what the conclusion is. 200 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: Text the news you need this morning and the in 201 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,559 Speaker 1: depth analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Swis City, 202 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: New Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store. 203 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 3: News Talks Z'd be. 204 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 2: Twenty two minutes after five year on news Talks, there'd 205 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 2: be lots of debate on the text about this meeting 206 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 2: Hawks Bay Regional Council. So they're halfway through a vote 207 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 2: on the Maori wards and Mongrel Mob members walk and patched. 208 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 2: Mungrel Mob members member it's illegal to have a patch on. 209 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 2: They walk out and meeting continues. They bring it to 210 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 2: a close as soon as they can, and then someone 211 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 2: from the council puts it on Facebook. There's a big 212 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 2: hooh about that. Ryan. What is wrong with you? How 213 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 2: can the law be upheld while you're making such comments? 214 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 2: Shame on you. The point I was making is isn't 215 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 2: it a good thing? Wouldn't it be a good thing 216 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,959 Speaker 2: if mongrel Mob members, instead of selling drugs or stealing cars, 217 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 2: attended regional council meetings? You know, I wouldn't society just 218 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 2: be a bit better for that? As I said, the horrible, horrific, nasty, 219 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,959 Speaker 2: evil things that they do you cannot stomach. Ryan. Had 220 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 2: they had the vote before or after the Mongrel Mold 221 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 2: members arrived, it could have been a bit confronting if 222 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 2: you thought you had to vote a particular way because 223 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 2: they were standing there. I think that's the point same 224 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 2: and Brown was making. If you had ever been intimidated, 225 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 2: stood over, beaten up by a Mongrel Mob member and 226 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 2: you were in that council chamber and you were voting, 227 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 2: would you potentially have been swayed by their presence? It's 228 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,599 Speaker 2: a question while worth asking. Twenty three minutes. 229 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 3: After five Ryan Bridge ow. 230 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 2: Boys and Black are about to enter the Lions Den, 231 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 2: Alice Park and Johannesburg. The teams have been named. Captain 232 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 2: Scott Barrett is back as lock after a finger injury, 233 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 2: and Sam Kin will be returning to the starting fifteen 234 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 2: for the first time since that Rugby World Cup last year. 235 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 2: So can the All Blacks do it? Or will South 236 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 2: Africa beat them on home turf? I should say Kevin 237 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 2: part is a former Springbok and rugby commentator. He's with 238 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 2: me this morning, get a Kevin good Morning. So big 239 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 2: game this weekend. I would just feel scared for them 240 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 2: walking into that Lion's Den. 241 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 4: Oh look, it is a really confrontational, hostile sort of place. 242 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 4: But that's the same reason they also played the game. 243 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 4: And it's not as if we're not prepared. The reason 244 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 4: you bring a guy like Sam Kine back, you know, 245 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 4: someone with so much experience and that he's done that 246 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,839 Speaker 4: multiple times and we're success. 247 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 2: So that experience will be key. 248 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 4: You think, oh, one hundred percent. I mean, the one 249 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 4: thing is and people may not have sort of highlighted it, 250 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 4: but this is a sort of an undercooked Springbok team, 251 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 4: which you never get an undercooked team. But you know 252 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 4: two locks who aren't really locked. They're sort of number 253 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 4: six and seven on their pecking order over there, still 254 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 4: fantastic players you know played last week. But I mean 255 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 4: one World Player of the year is the blindside loose forward. 256 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 4: So if there's an opportunity to sort of attack their 257 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 4: line out and that now would be the time. 258 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 2: Are you saying they might be a bit vulnerable? 259 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 4: I haven't found many. Yeah, I wouldn't go with many 260 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 4: vulnerable Springbok teams, but that there are certain opportunities to 261 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 4: try and come through. And I mean with the guideline 262 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 4: Scott Barrett, we should be sort of pumping there, going yeah, 263 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 4: but he's in the same position that they are at 264 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 4: the stage a little bit weak. The only thing to 265 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 4: counter that is they've just is the best back from 266 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 4: injury and I mean, you know, your best player in 267 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 4: the world able to come off the bench and probably 268 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 4: you know, go like an absolute bowing for about thirty minutes. 269 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 4: Is that scares the heck out of anyone? 270 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 2: A bad time for us to be watching here, But 271 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 2: it'll be a great game. Looking forward to it and 272 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 2: thank you. What's your score pick? By the way, have 273 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 2: you got one? Or who's winning? And what's Yeah? 274 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 4: I do I unfortunately think we might win at Cape Town, 275 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 4: but I think this one could be about six points 276 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 4: to the box. 277 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 2: All right, Kevin part thank you very much for your trying. 278 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 2: Form a Springbok and Rugby commentator. Just gone twenty six 279 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 2: minutes after five. 280 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: The early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio power by News. 281 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 3: Talks at me. 282 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 2: I've got an amazing wonder drug to tell you about 283 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 2: New Zealand and it saved me in the last couple 284 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 2: of weeks. People are talking about it from top of 285 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 2: the country to the bottom. And it's not ozempic. No, 286 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 2: I'm not taking ozembic, though I wouldn't mind trying it. 287 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 2: I think a lot of people are curious anyway. David 288 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 2: Seymour made this drug a priority. Yes, I'm talking about 289 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 2: pseudoepha dream. I felt sick. I took it, the symptoms disappeared. 290 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 2: I had a wedding recently. People said they wouldn't have 291 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 2: come without it. What must it be doing for our 292 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 2: productivity as well? Fewer sick days. I spoke to a 293 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 2: friend of mine who's a mum. She's got young kids, 294 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 2: and you send your kid to day care, they get 295 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 2: all the bugs under the sun. They bring the germs home. 296 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 2: The kids are gross and they pass it on to 297 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 2: mum and dad. Mum and dad go down like flies, 298 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 2: They take time off work, et cetera, et cetera, and 299 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 2: then bam, pop the miracle drug. Pseudo mums and pseudo dads. 300 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 2: So they are absolutely over the moon about this. It's 301 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 2: the drug we never well, we forgot we needed, isn't it. 302 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 2: I said to my friend, what about the methadics, because 303 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 2: that's the argument. You know, the methadics will get it 304 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 2: and then they'll cook it up, and you know it 305 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 2: could be stolen. It's the precursor to PA. And she said, 306 00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 2: I don't care. She said, I don't care. They'll find 307 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 2: it anyway, and I just need to get through my 308 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 2: work wig and get the kids to school.

That's coming shortly, 332 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 2: Ray and Bridge. It's gone at twenty three minutes away 333 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 2: from six.

Your morning, Ryan. 338 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 8: The Regional Council's announced that it's funded nine environmental linked 339 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 8: projects here, with more than thirty three thousand dollars provided 340 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 8: to these projects. In fact, no projects would decline funding 341 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 8: from the fifty thousand dollars annual funding support pool. The 342 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 8: Regional Council says, there are amazing people doing great work 343 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 8: and it's important the largely community led projects are assisted. 344 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 8: Recipients included Tirunaka or To Colimited and the Otago Youth 345 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 8: Adventure Trust. 346 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 2: How's your weather today? Come? 347 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 8: Mainly fine, chance of a shower, westerlies and sixteen today. 348 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 2: Great, thank you. Claire Sheubert is in christ Church clear 349 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 2: a belief the impact of a major gang crackdown in 350 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 2: christ Church may not actually hamper the drug market for 351 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 2: that long. Yeah, not for that long, Ryan. 352 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 9: That's the belief of Canterbury University sociologist Jared Gilbert. This 353 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 9: of course comes after yesterday's massive news that millions of 354 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 9: dollars worth of illicit drugs had seen twenty one Common 355 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 9: Chero members arrested. That included the entire patched christ Church 356 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 9: chapter of that gang. It was a big undertaking it 357 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 9: came to a head with seventy search warrants after eight 358 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,439 Speaker 9: months of policing work. Police believe it will make a 359 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,959 Speaker 9: significant dent in our drug trade, with intelligence suggesting this 360 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 9: particular group is responsible for the majority of Class A 361 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 9: drugs coming into the area. But according to Jared Gilbert, 362 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 9: while the significant bus does threaten the common chero's existence, 363 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 9: the demand for drugs will remain. He says others will 364 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 9: simply step in and fill that void, So it may 365 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 9: have a very very short term impact on the drug scene. 366 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 9: How So, weather today a nice Friday here mainly find 367 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 9: variable high cloud, northwesterlies and seventeen have a. 368 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 2: Nice one, Claire, thank you, Max Toles and Wellington. Max. 369 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 2: You're going to the park this weekend, Well a. 370 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 10: Few more people will be able to because I'm sure 371 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 10: you'll recall Frank Kitts Park and the car park underneath 372 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 10: it on the waterfront. It would use to host a 373 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 10: market every weekend. The car park had to close four 374 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 10: years ago due to it being a quake risk, is 375 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 10: now reopening four years on despite no work being done 376 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 10: on it. The difference being the government's updated earthquake strengthening guidelines. 377 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 10: Bit of a shame, not just because the car park 378 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 10: was always a popular site for people driving into the city, 379 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 10: particularly heading to that waterfront area, but also the markets, 380 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 10: and also because it generated more than two hundred and 381 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 10: fifty thousand dollars a year, which means the city's missed 382 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 10: out on a million bucks that could have made for 383 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 10: doing nothing. 384 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 2: What's your weather like today? Mix partly cloudly with a 385 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:30,400 Speaker 2: few showers. 386 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 10: High of fourteenth Central. 387 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 2: Thank you Neiva's and Auckland.

Did you see the see the 393 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 2: lightning and hear the thunder last night? 394 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 3: Boy? 395 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 2: Did it? I did not. 396 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 11: I fell asleep. Look, I think I'm still just getting 397 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 11: over COVID And I fell asleep at four thirty pm 398 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 11: and I woke up at midnight. Oh wow, came inpring 399 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 11: and my sa I missed the whole thing. And I 400 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 11: said to Genny, Hey, I'm just talking about the weather. 401 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 11: Did did did that eventuate? 402 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 12: The rain? 403 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 11: Did you not see it and hear it. Oh I 404 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 11: missed that one. 405 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 2: It was frightening. It was well, I mean it's funny, 406 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 2: but you do jump, don't you when it's that loud? 407 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 11: And did it go on for hours? 408 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 2: A couple maybe an hour? Oh yeah, that was a 409 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 2: good show. Great show. Neither the standoff between academics and 410 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 2: bosses at the uni. 411 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 11: Yeah, look, professors at Auckland Union, now the stage. This 412 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 11: is an emergency vote to try to block a controversial 413 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 11: course shake up. Now the flare up began. I think 414 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 11: you might remember this earlier this month with faculty heads. 415 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 11: They were told of a new proposal. This was to 416 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 11: review the university's offerings and had smaller post grad and 417 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 11: undergrad courses in scope. So of course this was met 418 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 11: with widespread alarm that you know, look after these courses 419 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,959 Speaker 11: across multiple faculties under certain numbers of enrollments, that they 420 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 11: were suddenly on the chopping block, so not good. Raised 421 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 11: a bit of alarm. It's seen now as a clear 422 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 11: message to Vice Chancellor that's dawn freshwater, that the process 423 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 11: has gone off the rails. So we'll be keeping a 424 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 11: close eye on this one. 425 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 2: Sounds like we need to thank you very much, Neva. 426 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 2: Happy Friday, Happy Friday for good weekend. Nineteen minutes away 427 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 2: from six. 428 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 3: This is News Talk ZEDB Breaking news. 429 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,479 Speaker 2: In breaking news, King y To Hatitia has died at 430 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 2: the age of sixty nine, just days after the eighteenth 431 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 2: anniversary of his coronation.

But your new government is 448 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 2: plowing ahead with a bin on tobacco sales. 449 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 12: Yeah, that's right, and they're even making it tougher, so 450 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 12: from anyone born on the start of January two thousand 451 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 12: and nine effectively will never be able to buy tobacco. 452 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 12: So they're trying to create this smoke free generation and 453 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 12: have that as a legacy from the future. There's something 454 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 12: that Richie Soon wanted. It sort of went away because 455 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 12: he called the election, but now Kirs Darmer has signaled 456 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 12: he's very much bringing it back, and he's also going 457 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 12: to ban seventeen years after banning smoking indoors, they're going 458 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 12: to ban it in certain outdoor spaces as well, like 459 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 12: pub gardens, the sort of terraces of cafes and restaurants, 460 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 12: hospital grounds and sports grounds as well, to try and 461 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 12: really push it out of common public spaces. 462 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 2: Does it include vaping or is it just smoking cigarettes? 463 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 12: It is going to include vaping as well. Vaping is 464 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 12: banned indoors and they're sort of getting more worried now 465 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 12: about vaping. The UK had taken a slightly different approach 466 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 12: of softer approach on vaping, but their evidence is increasingly 467 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 12: showing that people instead of it being a way to 468 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 12: come off cigarettes, it's a way that young people are 469 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 12: starting to smoke and then moving onto cigarettes, or indeed 470 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 12: some of the vaping is causing even worse problems because 471 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 12: of these unregulated products. 472 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 2: Right, how's it going down? Is anyone up on arms 473 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 2: or angry needings? 474 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 12: Well, there's actually yeah, I've been doing the story today. 475 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 12: There are a couple of people, you know, smokers, who 476 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 12: I said, well, this isn't going to stop me smoking. 477 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 12: I'll just have to go further away. But we've actually 478 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 12: seen some polling today which shows that the vast majority 479 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 12: of the UK is actually on board with this. The 480 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 12: Prime Minister is pointing out the fact that it's eighty 481 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 12: thousand excess deaths a year from smoking and it costs 482 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 12: the NHS billions of pounds and taxpayers billions of pounds. 483 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 12: Because some would say that the taxes on cigarettes are 484 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 12: high that helps fun the HS. But really it seems 485 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 12: the public mood has shifted on this. No one really 486 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 12: in the UK wants to receive smoking returning indoors, and 487 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 12: I think people see this as the next evolution of it. 488 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 2: All right, interesting, thanks so much for that. Vincent mcaviny 489 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 2: with us from the UK. It's just gone thirteen away 490 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 2: from six shovement's shifting all light vehicles off fuel excise 491 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 2: and into the road user charges system the rucks from 492 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 2: as early as twenty twenty seven. There's a bunch of 493 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 2: other stuff going on too, like more toll roads coming 494 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 2: your way, new toll roads, I should add, so it's 495 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 2: not like they're going to toll existing ones. And also 496 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 2: council is going to get more power to up parking fines. 497 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 2: Jeff Upson is the Rodney local board member and road 498 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 2: safety campaigner. He's with US live this morning. 499 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 6: Good Jeff, morning, right, and how are you doing. 500 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 2: Good? Good, Good to have you on the show. What 501 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 2: do you reckon about the everyone it's an even playing 502 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 2: field with the rucks, I suppose, well, yeah. 503 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 6: I mean it's a fear system. So what it means 504 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 6: is that it doesn't matter how big your engine is, 505 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:03,199 Speaker 6: you're now going to be paying per kilometer traveled. And 506 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 6: this is a system that we've had for for years, 507 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 6: for decades for all diesel vehicles, and obviously all the 508 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 6: battery powered cars have now moved to the system. As well, 509 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 6: where where they pay a rate per kilometer traveled on 510 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 6: the roads. And and so this way we will be 511 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 6: able to collect the money will still be collected for 512 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 6: road maintenance, you know, fixing potholes. Unfortunately, when labor gets 513 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 6: back in, it will be used for building speed bumps. 514 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 6: Again I'm not I'm not looking forward to that part 515 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 6: of it. But in the meantime it will be used 516 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 6: for road maintenance. 517 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,360 Speaker 2: Yeah. What about the if you're filling up a lawnmar 518 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 2: or a boat or something at the petrol station, would 519 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:44,719 Speaker 2: that be cheaper then? 520 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 6: Well, absolutely yeah, Because at the moment, if you're filling 521 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 6: up your boat or your law mower or you know, 522 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 6: you you're whatever you're filling up, you're paying road tax 523 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 6: on that. And so, so what what it means is 524 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 6: that once this shift happens, it will be cheaper to 525 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 6: mow your lawns, It'll be cheaper to take the boat 526 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 6: out fishing, It'll be it'll be when cod bikes on 527 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,400 Speaker 6: the farm. So so farming will then become a little 528 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 6: bit cheaper, which which will obviously help the food production costs. 529 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 2: I suppose the worry would be people who can't afford 530 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 2: to pay them you know, I can't afford afford to 531 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:19,679 Speaker 2: pay the road user charges. 532 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, this is something that's that I've been 533 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 6: talking about since March when when Simmon Brown originally announced 534 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 6: it in the Government policy Statement on Transport. And I 535 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 6: have heard from from certain people that it will be 536 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 6: quite difficult, you know, especially the lower socio economic areas. 537 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 6: It'll be quite difficult for people to manage manage their spending, 538 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 6: you know, because at the moment it's it's very simple. 539 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 6: You know, you fill up your car at the pump 540 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 6: and everything is included. Whereas this new system it does 541 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 6: mean that people will have to pay for the petrol 542 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 6: at the pump and then they have to pay for 543 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 6: their kilometers separately. I have heard there's a bit of 544 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 6: issue there, and I've heard that people are going to 545 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 6: try and steal from the government, you know, which already 546 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 6: happens with diesel vehicles, where people wind their speedos back 547 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 6: to try and get away without paying the road user 548 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 6: charges and things like that. But I think, I mean 549 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 6: that that is a reality that is going to happen. 550 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 6: But I think with modern technology now it's a lot 551 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 6: more difficult to wind your speedo back and also every 552 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 6: time a vehicle goes in for a warn of fitness, 553 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 6: they'll be checking the kilometers and if a vehicle isn't 554 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 6: arears is it already happens with diesel vehicles. If a 555 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 6: vehicle is in areas, the transport agency simply sends an 556 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 6: invoice for the different kilometer. 557 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 4: So wherever you're overdue, yeah. 558 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 2: Kind of it comes out on the wash. Jeff, thank 559 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 2: you for that. Jeff Upson, Rodney Local Board member. Just 560 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 2: the guy that used to draw giant penises on the 561 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 2: road to identify where the potholes were so that they 562 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 2: would get fixed.

I noted your your sort 607 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 5: of defense, and I know what you were trying to say, 608 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 5: but what you can't argue with is it's against the law. 609 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 5: You can't turn on as a patched member anymore.
