1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:00,920
Speaker 1: Let's go to Auckland.

2
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 2: A plan to trial portnitely rubbish collection in parts of

3
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 2: the city is now dead.

4
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: Put it in the bin, not.

5
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 3: Going to do two weeks. That's what That's what we've

6
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,079
Speaker 3: got to We should be talking about some of the

7
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 3: things that really matter about us. When are we going

8
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 3: to start incinerating our rubbish? When are we going to

9
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 3: do something about landfall? We're going to do something important?

10
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 3: What are you wordsmithing all the bloody time? Should I

11
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 3: hate that?

12
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 2: Daniel Newman is an Auckland City councilor and he joins

13
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: us now, Daniel.

14
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 4: Good evening, Good afternoon, Ryan.

15
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: Sounds like Wayne's happy. This is all done and dusted.

16
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 4: Well, it's done to a point, but not dusted. Unfortunately,

17
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 4: the trial is dead, but the waste management minimization plan continues,

18
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 4: despite some of us trying our very best. The existing

19
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 4: plan is still premised on moving to a fortnightly rubbish

20
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 4: collection service in the future, and so Aucklanders can expect

21
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 4: that Auckland Council will try and some of us will

22
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 4: try and permanently move the whole region to a weekly

23
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 4: service next year when the matter comes up, and we'll

24
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 4: have to consult on it. Then it's very painful. But yes,

25
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 4: the trial's gone.

26
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: Who wrote so who's written this thing? That? Why can't

27
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: we just change that document so you don't have to

28
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 1: keep coming back to.

29
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 4: It because we are advised it's very frustrating. We are

30
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 4: advised that because the current plan is based on the

31
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 4: existing proposition of a fortnightly service in the future, if

32
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 4: you wish to move to a permanent, region wide weekly

33
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 4: rubbish collection service, that is a change that will require

34
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 4: a consequential consultation with Aucklanders. And so some of us,

35
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 4: of course, we all voted down the trial, well, most

36
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 4: of us voted down the trial that some of us

37
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 4: move to express in principal support for changing the plan

38
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 4: to give effect to a permanent, region wide weekly service.

39
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,639
Speaker 4: The vote was had on that and it was lost

40
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 4: ten to ten with two abstensions.

41
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: So even though no one wants, I mean, how can

42
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: you be in a situation where the public doesn't want

43
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: a trial, let alone a permanent thing, and yet you

44
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: can't chat you can you can poopoo the trial, but

45
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: you can't poopoo the permanence. I mean, it just makes

46
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: no sense.

47
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 4: It is difficult to understand this the hoops that I

48
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 4: am being put through to try and give what I

49
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 4: interprets being the will of Auckland is give effect to

50
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 4: that because seventy seventy eight percent of submitters said no

51
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 4: to the Fortnightly rubbish collection trial. Last year we consulted

52
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 4: on the waste management minimalization plan. At that stage, fifty

53
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 4: three percent of people supported Fortnightly. Sorry, thirty seven percent

54
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 4: of Aucklanders supported Fortnightly. Fifty three post Every time we

55
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 4: ask Aucklanders this question, the majority are not in favor

56
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 4: of Fortnightly. But we're still dancing on this question. So look,

57
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 4: I'm very pleased that my constituents in Weymouth and Clinton

58
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 4: do not face six months of a fortnightly collection trial

59
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 4: setting in summer next year. But the question of the

60
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 4: policy and the planning and the processes of local government

61
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 4: just dragging on. It's not a good lot.

62
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 2: Daniel, appreciate your time, Daniel Newman, Auglan City Counselor. It's

63
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 2: a note to the trial, but it's a maybe to

64
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: the whole thing happening at some point anyway.
