Speaker 2: Australia releases their budget. So where are our neighbors at?

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 2: Where's our biggest export market at. We'll have that story

9
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 2: for you shortly. Employers are still not confident to employ

10
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: so what are they worried about? We'll have that story

11
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 2: in ten and the Aucklands Stadium kafuffle countslor Morris Williamson

15
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: you can have your say by using the text. There's

16
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 2: a small charge and the number is ninety two ninety two.

17
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: It is seven minutes after five.

18
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: The agenda.

19
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: It's Wednesday, the twenty sixth of March and first of

20
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: the Russian Ukraine War. The White House has just confirmed

21
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,639
Speaker 2: both Russia and Ukraine have agreed to ensure a safe

22
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: passage for commercial shipping and stop all military strikes in

23
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: the Black Sea. Washington released separate statements meeting with representatives

24
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 2: from both countries in Saudi Arabia. Ukraine has agreed to

25
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 2: stop military force in the Black Sea, but adds any

26
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: movement of Russian naval vessels would be a violation of

27
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 2: the agreement. To America and President Trump's administration is under

28
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: fire for adding an American journalist to a private group

29
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: chat which contains sensitive US military information about their air

30
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 2: strikes on Yemen. Here's an idea of what was supposedly

31
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: said in the chat. Vice President JD. Vance said I

32
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 2: hate bailing Europe out again, and Defense Secretary Pete Hexeth replied,

33
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: I fully share your loathing of European free loading its pathetic.

34
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: Editor in chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldboyerg, was the

35
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: journalist added by security advisor Michael Watts, and he says

36
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: the official were lucky it was him.

37
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 3: According to everything I understand, they're not supposed to be

38
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: doing this on commercial messaging aims. They got quite lucky

39
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 3: that they included my phone number in that they're going

40
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 3: to pick an errand phone number. I mean at least

41
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 3: it wasn't somebody who supported the Hoothies, because they were

42
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 3: actually handing out information that I believe could have endangered

43
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: the lives of American service people who were involved in

44
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 3: that operation.

45
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 2: And several members of the CHAT have been testifying at

46
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: an already scheduled Senate Intelligence Committee hearing. We're told together

47
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: the Director of National Intelligence declined to confirm whether she

48
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: was in the CHAT or not. And to Australia, we've

49
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: already mentioned the government has released as twenty twenty five

50
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: federal budget. Treasurer Jim Charmers revealed the budget is in

51
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: the red, with a deficit of more than thirty billion

52
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 2: dollars for the twenty four to twenty five financial year.

53
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: Its plan includes nearly nineteen billion dollars in planned tax

54
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: cuts from next year. And this was Jim Chalmers speaking

55
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 2: in the Australian Parliament last night.

56
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 4: This budget is our plan for a new generation of

57
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 4: prosperity in a new world of uncertainty. It's a plan

58
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 4: to help finish the fight against inflation, rebuild living standards

59
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 4: and maximize our national advantages into the future.

60
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: But he would say that, wouldn't he. And finally, an

61
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: update on Turkey, where a sixth night of protests have

62
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: been underway and a seventh night planned over the detention

63
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: of the city's mayor, Ekremmglu A Mamglu, of course, is

64
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: Turkey's President's president Etwan's main political rival. He's now been

65
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 2: charged with corruption and the Turkish government has already confirmed

66
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: more than eleven hundred people have been arrested since the

67
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: protest began.

68
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 5: I just want to live my life.

69
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: I mean everyone else thinks to see.

70
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 3: I mean, no one wants.

71
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 6: To be here normal everyone wants to be at the hall,

72
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 6: but he and the artists trying to be democracy back.

73
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 7: We here because of the mayor of the stumble at Mamola,

74
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 7: but after everyone realized how bad contrastitation is because of

75
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 7: the economy, inflation and because of justice.

76
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: Same song all over the world. It's eleven minutes out

77
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 2: to five.

78
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth

79
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: analysis Early edition with Andrew Dickens and one roof Make

80
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: Your Property Search, Simple News Talk.

81
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 2: Sidy So Yes. The Australian government has delivered its budgets.

82
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: Its tax cuts are plenty, seventeen point one billion dollars

83
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: set to head back into Australian's back pockets. There was

84
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 2: also Medicare funding, energy relief and twenty percent off all

85
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: student loans. So one analyst came out and said, it's

86
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 2: the cup of coffee a week budget, and that makes sense.

87
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: On average, Australian taxpayers will get about two hundred and

88
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 2: seventy dollars back in their pocket over the whole tax year,

89
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: two hundred and seventy bucks and over fifty two weeks.

90
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 2: That's actually not even enough for a cup of coffee,

91
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 2: which is a reminder to all that tax cuts are

92
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: not the windfall that people sometimes believe. But no matter

93
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: how small they are, they still cost the state plenty.

94
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: We've found that out with our fourteen billion dollar tax cut,

95
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: which barely made a daily difference to us did it

96
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 2: of course while inflation kept on eroding our wallets. But

97
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: if our government still had that fourteen billion dollars in

98
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 2: their hands, it might be handy when they face so

99
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 2: many infrastructure deficits and of course the interest payments. The

100
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 2: other headline out of the Australian budget is that they're

101
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: expecting ten years of deficits ten years of them. It's

102
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: another example that it's not just us up the proverbal creek.

103
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: We're going to look at this in five minutes time

104
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 2: with an Australian correspondent. Twelve after five. What's the number

105
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 2: one global enemy? What do you reckon? I can tell

106
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: you the number one global enemy these days appears to

107
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 2: be the public servant. Everywhere has worken up from its

108
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: stupor and realized that public servants have been multiplying like rabbits.

109
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: The latest is the United Kingdom, where the chances are there.

110
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: Rachel Reeves, a labor politician, has announced a wholesale reduction

111
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 2: of fifteen percent of all public servants and she promises

112
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 2: this will not affect frontline services, but the proof of

113
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 2: that will be in the execution. So you add the

114
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 2: UK to what's happening in America with their Doge campaign,

115
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 2: our own pruning of the public service, and then you

116
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 2: realize that all countries in the world are facing the

117
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: same issues. A public service that has been allowed to

118
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: balloon to an untenable size. It reminds me of the

119
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 2: bad old days here in New Zealand, when New Zealand

120
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 2: Rail was allowed to expand to a massive workforce because

121
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: it made unemployment figures look better than the politicians of

122
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: the day like that. Now you think, faced with this

123
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 2: around the world and with the numbers that they see,

124
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 2: even public servants might realize that they've been taking the mickey,

125
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: but they don't. Just yesterday I had a PSA secretary

126
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 2: on the program definitively saying that there are no more

127
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 2: efficiencies to be found in our public service. You reckon.

128
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 2: That is a claim the public services paymasters. That's you

129
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: and I the taxpayer, just don't believe the public service

130
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 2: is reducing worldwide. The public service has to reduce worldwide.

131
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 2: We can't afford it. And if the bureaucrats want the

132
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 2: job to be done fairly and equitably and efficiently, they

133
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: should get on board.

134
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: It's Andrew Dickens.

135
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: It's five fourteen. So we'll look at the Australian budget

136
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: in a few moments time, and shortly, in about five

137
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: seven minutes time, we're going to look at the employment confidence,

138
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 2: which in this country is down again to the lowest

139
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 2: level seen since post COVID in twenty twenty. So why

140
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: when there are green shoots in the economy, our employers

141
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: not employing. It's a big story and it's coming shortly

142
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: here on News talks hereb it's five point fifteen.

143
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition Andrew Dickens

144
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: and One Room Make your Property Search Simple News Talks.

145
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 2: It'd be sixteen minutes after five. The Australian government released

146
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: its twenty twenty five budget last night. Key focuses on

147
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: the cost of living. Australians are getting tax cuts seventeen

148
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 2: billion dollar set to return to their pockets. Are the

149
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: winners where healthcare, student debt holders, energy bills. Treasurer Jim

150
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: Charmers says this is a budget for a new generation

151
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 2: of prosperity, despite the fact he's got ten years of deficits.

152
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 2: And he says this is happening in a new world

153
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 2: of uncertainty.

154
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 4: Trade disruptions are rising, China's growth is slowing, war is

155
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 4: still raging in Europe and a ceasefire in the Middle

156
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 4: East is breaking down.

157
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 2: Well, that's inspiring. Australian correspondent Leslie Yeomans is covering it

158
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 2: for us and joins us now and she's got up

159
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: very early. Leslie, good morning to you.

160
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 6: Good morning Andrews.

161
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 2: So is this what people wanted?

162
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 6: Well, I guess some people will think it's okay. What

163
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 6: We have to put into a into our mind here though,

164
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 6: that this is basically an election near budget going to

165
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 6: be going to the polls sometime soon, and this is

166
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 6: given tried to give everyone a little bit of everything,

167
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 6: I guess, but it is only just a little bit.

168
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 6: As you mentioned, there's seventeen billion dollars worth of tax cuts,

169
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 6: which sounds like a lot, but that's probably going to

170
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 6: work out too about for the average for the average

171
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 6: income and are probably about five dollars a week possibly,

172
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 6: and then they won't be coming into effect until the

173
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 6: new financial year. What else, sort of similar to last

174
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 6: year's budget to the cost of living relief, some extra

175
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 6: money for education, they'll be strengthening medicare, building more homes,

176
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 6: and people will also be getting a little bit of

177
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 6: help more help with their rising energy bills. Those energy

178
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 6: rebates they've been extended to the end of this year

179
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 6: and they'll be giving households around one hundred and fifty

180
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 6: dollars extra a year. They're also with students still have

181
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 6: people with HEX debts, UNI students who are still trying

182
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 6: to pay off their HEX debts. They're going to be helped.

183
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 6: Their debts are going to be cut a rye around

184
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 6: twenty percent, and there'll also be a different way that

185
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 6: they'll be able to pay it back. They won't have

186
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 6: to that the actual earning rate is going to be

187
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 6: lifted so that when their actual payoff payments cutting will

188
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 6: be higher now. And one of the things it's interesting

189
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 6: to trying to appeal to people who have been trying

190
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 6: to buy a home. The government's going to ban foreign

191
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 6: buyers from purchasing existing homes in Australia for the next

192
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 6: two years and that will start next month. And it's

193
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 6: just a bid to try and get more people to

194
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 6: be able to purchase an existing home here.

195
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 2: Which is the complete opposite of what we're doing. Funnily enough,

196
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 2: and as you mentioned right at the beginning, you guys

197
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 2: are heading to the polls shortly, so do you think

198
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: this will sway people's decisions at all or is it

199
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 2: a bit underwhelming?

200
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 6: I think the government's hoping it will sway people's decisions.

201
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 6: Whether it will or not, who knows. I mean, it's

202
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 6: really hard to tell. The government's been in a situation

203
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 6: over the last few months when you read some of

204
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 6: the social media comments and even look at some of

205
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 6: the polling. The polling hasn't been super bad for the government,

206
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 6: but a lot of comments you see from people saying

207
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 6: that the government's just been underwhelming absolutely that it sort

208
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 6: of keeps telling you that it's doing stuff but it

209
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 6: doesn't show or sort of actually a show is what

210
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 6: it is doing. There's a lot of talk and there's

211
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 6: a lot of defensive people sort of saying, yes, we're

212
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 6: doing this, that and the other thing, but you don't

213
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 6: actually see a lot of stuff. A lot of people

214
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 6: have been underwhelmed and disappointed by the government because it

215
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 6: was saying when it first came into power, but it

216
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 6: was going to get all these things done, and then

217
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 6: very little happened or appeared to happen. So it's just

218
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 6: been you just have to wait and see who knows,

219
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 6: who knows what can happen between now and polling day.

220
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 2: Humans from Australia, I thank you for your time. Beer drinkers,

221
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 2: by the way, will be happy. They're going to freeze

222
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 2: the draft beer excise indexation. That means the government misses

223
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: out on two hundred million dollars in tax revenue. It's

224
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 2: a win for beer drinkers, brewers and hospitality. It's five

225
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 2: twenty one. Why are our employers not employing that question

226
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 2: and maybe some answers. Next twenty three.

Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens and One Roof to make your property search

229
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: simple If you talks, it'd be so.

230
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 2: Employment confidence is once again down across the country. People

231
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 2: struggle with job security and recruitment. The Westpact McDermott Miller

232
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 2: Employment Confidence Index has dropped to eighty eight point three.

233
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 2: This is the lowest level since September twenty twenty, a

234
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 2: level last scene post COVID in twenty twenty. Tom O'Neil

235
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 2: is an employment expert and a manager of CV dot

236
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: co dot nz and is with me this morning? Is

237
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 2: he indeed with me here this morning?

238
00:12:59,120 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 8: Oh?

239
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 2: There he is up there. I found to tell you

240
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 2: we're missing on my computer screen. Good morning to you.

241
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 2: Why our employers still pessimistic?

242
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 9: Ah, look, you know it's I think obviously we've got,

243
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 9: you know, the specter of tariffs from America, and I

244
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 9: just think it's it's the massively bad hangover of just

245
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 9: all the facts that have been sort of conspiring against

246
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 9: New Zealand over the last for the three or five years.

247
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 9: And it's interesting there's next messages out there. The seek

248
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 9: had an employment report that just came out recently, you know,

249
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 9: the job board, and they set after two years of

250
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 9: steady decline in job ed volumes, the past eight months

251
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 9: has been brought to be flat. Now. I know that

252
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 9: doesn't sound like good news. That's just some degree it's

253
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 9: shine that actually, you know, I think I liked to

254
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 9: think we've actually now flat out. And you know, as

255
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 9: the year progresses, and you know, as hopefully the Tara

256
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 9: Stone turn into something that is going to be massively

257
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 9: destructive for our economy, we can most fortant actually even

258
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 9: have a bump floater in the.

259
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: Year, hope. So a lot of people are playing for

260
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 2: jobs right now. But you can smell the desperation, can't you?

261
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 9: Oh? Absolutely absolutely. And this is the thing being a

262
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 9: candidate out there, you know you need to you need

263
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 9: to try and push that desperation down. I sort of

264
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 9: describe it like being a duck. You see a duck

265
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 9: on a lake swimming along the top half of the

266
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 9: duck is all nice and calming downstairs under the water,

267
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 9: but you know it's there to think going crazy. And

268
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 9: that's what we need to do when we candidates when

269
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 9: we going to the market. And it's a horrible thing

270
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 9: to say that. The end of the day, employers smell desperation.

271
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 9: They really really do. And so it's important during that

272
00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 9: whole interview time, anytime in touch with employers, you just

273
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 9: put on that top half of the Dutch, you know,

274
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 9: you just put on that brave confidence failure and just

275
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 9: get out there.

276
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 2: I call it. I call it put on your big

277
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 2: boy pats and just go in there with confidence. Tom

278
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 2: O'Neil from CV dot co dot NS and thank you

279
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 2: so much for your time. It's five twenty six.

280
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: The early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio Power by News.

281
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 2: Talks, ITV News So Big I wanted to I'm Andrew

282
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 2: Dickinson for Ryan Bridge. So Auckland looks like it's doing

283
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 2: it again, dilly delling and decision making about big stuff.

284
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 2: A council advisory group has informed us at neither the

285
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 2: fancy waterfront stadium nor an upgrade of Eden Parker considered feasible.

286
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 2: The full Council still has to vote on it on Thursday,

287
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 2: and so we'll see if anyone has any balls to

288
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 2: actually do anything. Now, by not feasible, they mean not viable.

289
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 2: Without public funding. So we don't seem to have a

290
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: charitable billionaire in our midst so the dough would have

291
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 2: to come from the public purse. And this is a

292
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 2: question that every major city wrestles with. Other cities seemed

293
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 2: to be braver this week. Brisbane casually announced a new

294
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 2: stadium to host the Olympics, calmly putting nearly four billion

295
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 2: dollars on the line. We are a growing nation and

296
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 2: we need a national stadium, and we need a venue

297
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 2: for the events that come, whether it's big sport or

298
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 2: big concerts or monster trucks. We'll see how much fun

299
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: for you Eden Park has been this week, three different

300
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 2: sports in one week. We need a venue that's modern,

301
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 2: complete and full of character and recognize around the world.

302
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 2: I love stadiums. I'm super excited about Canterbury's Takaha Forsyth

303
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 2: Bar is great and sky stadium or you need new

304
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 2: seats and maybe a roof. But what do I want

305
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 2: for Auckland now? First, I have to admit that I,

306
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 2: like many others, have gone to eden Park events for free,

307
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 2: both from eden Park and also businesses. Okay, that taken,

308
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: I would be happy for the waterfront stadium to go ahead.

309
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 2: We would never regret it in forty years time. I'm

310
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 2: also happy for an Eden Park upgrade. After all, Sydney

311
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: completely ripped down the Sydney Football Stadium and rebuilt it.

312
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 2: But it really is time for someone to put their

313
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 2: on the block and just do it. We've been talking

314
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 2: about this ever since the World Cup. Every city needs

315
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 2: a cathedral and every nation needs a national stadium, and

316
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 2: it needs to be iconic. Let's do it all right.

317
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 2: On the way, we're going to run you through the

318
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 2: Russian Ukraine Black Sea ceasefile, which has only just been

319
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: announced in the last forty minutes. Gavin Gray from the UK.

320

Speaker 2: I'm Andrew Dickens. This is Newstalk zmb OH.

321
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 6: I get this in with.

Speaker 1: News and views you trust to start your day. It's

Speaker 1: your property search simple if you.

325
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 2: Talk sid me, Thank you boy to you, Welcome to

326
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 2: your Wednesdays. Thank you for du I'm Andrew Dickens in prow.

327
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 2: I turned sixty a while ago and I realize I

328
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 2: have absolutely no desire to stop working. I don't want

329
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 2: to chill out, I don't want to retire. I like

330
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 2: to work. Yes, I want flexibility, and yes I want

331
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 2: a bit of free time to go to the beach

332
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 2: and have a swim. But I like work. I like

333
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: meeting people. I like feeling as though I'm productive, I'm healthy.

334
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm still thirty. I'm active, I still

335
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 2: have experience to share. In fact, I have experience because

336
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 2: I'm older. I think many are like that because data

337
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 2: from Stats New Zealand shows there are nearly two hundred

338
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 2: thousand New Zealanders age sixty five or older still in

339
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 2: the workforce, and good on you, ninety thousand are aged

340
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 2: over seventy. And wait for this, there are one than

341
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty seven people aged over ninety who

342
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 2: are still working. Fantastic, some of that work's a bit

343
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 2: hefty too. Over sixty five's made up ten point three

344
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 2: percent of machinery operators and drivers. Eight percent of them

345
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 2: are laborers. Yeah, this is a white collars. Seven percent

346
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 2: of professionals and nine point one percent of managers. Look.

347
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 2: New Islanders like to work, and the older we get,

348
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 2: the better we get at it. So the message is

349
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 2: to all employers, get yourself some old guys on staff.

350
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 2: They're worth their weight. And gold. However, on the flip side,

351
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 2: it's just been announced that George Clooney has said that,

352
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 2: at sixty three, he is now too old to play

353
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 2: romantic leads, which is fair enough. I think we want

354
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 2: you on the tools, George, not chasing some tail that

355
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 2: could be your daughter. And by the way, George, I'm

356
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 2: not a fan of your coffee ads either. I really

357
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 2: just don't get them. It's been two all right, let's

358
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: go right around the country. Callum Proctor joins us from Danedan.

359
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 2: Good morning to you. Callum, good morning. What's the shakedown

360
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 2: after this big shake yesterday south of Southland?

361
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 10: Yeah, this was the six point eight magnitude quake felt

362
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 10: by many here scentered west of Stuart Island that struck

363
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 10: at two forty three pm yesterday at a depth of

364
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 10: twelve kilometers. Seismologists are saying this large earthquake struck on

365
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 10: an area which is known to generate big shakes. There

366
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 10: was no threat to la but unpredictable surges and after

367
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 10: shocks are predicted for the coming days. Dr finn Nelsley

368
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 10: Kemp's from Victoria University. He says there's been two quakes

369
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 10: over a seven magnitude in that area since two thousand

370
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 10: and four, but it's an area that's poorly understood.

371
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 2: He says.

372
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 10: It's remote and offshore, so not a lot of research

373
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 10: has been done on it compared to the subduction zone

374
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 10: under the North Island.

375
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 2: And how's your weather?

376
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 10: That's mainly fine today like wins and a high of twenty.

377
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 2: Two crash years we go, Claire, sure were good morning

378
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 2: to you. Good morning. One of Christtution's new charter schools

379
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 2: is already looking to expand.

380
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 11: Yes, already, Andrew, that's right. Mastery Schools in New Zealand

381
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 11: Ada Parky is currently sitting at sixty four students at

382
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 11: its new site at Hillsborough. This is after its grand

383
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 11: opening in February. Now it's aiming already to be opening

384
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 11: a year two to three class from term three of

385
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 11: this year. Principal Rose mcinernie says most of the original

386
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 11: interest had come from years four to eight students, and

387
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 11: that's because students in that age group are more like

388
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 11: to have more obvious or more awareness about learning difficulties.

389
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 11: But now there's increasing demand and so moving younger. Unsure

390
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 11: though whether they'll ever go as young as year one.

391
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 11: McInerney says, more people have discovered about the school and

392
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 11: how students are benefiting from.

393
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 9: The learning there.

394
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 2: Very cool. What a your weather?

395
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 11: Some cloudy periods in northeasterly is developing this morning high

396
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 11: of nineteen.

397
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 2: Max told joins me from Wellington, Hellimax, good morning. So

398
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 2: we've got a Wellington MP. You got stuck into the cops.

399
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly. This is a Green MP once again under

400
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 5: fire for comments made about the judicial system, this time

401
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 5: at a university panel discussion. Tamitha Paul, she's Wellington's central MP,

402
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 5: told this panel she'd heard nothing but complaints about police

403
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 5: beat controls across the country. The discussion incidentally called a

404
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 5: radical alternative to policing. Paul wants to see police disestablished effectively.

405
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 5: She believes Wellingtonians at all don't want to see offices

406
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 5: on the streets. In the past, Sammatha Paul has also

407
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 5: incorrectly claimed the vast majority of people in prison and

408
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 5: therefore nonviolent offenses. The Police Minister Mirk Mitchell has responded

409
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 5: saying Paul is talking absolute nonsense. There's very clear evidence

410
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 5: that people feel safer with police around, and there's been

411
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 5: a large decrease in violent crime in areas that their

412
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 5: community big teams have been deployed.

413
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 2: Must be lovely on her planet anyway. How's your weather?

414
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 5: A little cloud otherwise fine? Twenty the High Central and.

415
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 2: Neva Rettimano who joined us from Auckland. Hello, greetings, So

416
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 2: the government's being asked to turn up the tempo on Auckland.

417
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 12: That's right, the development. So this is Project Auckland. Now,

418
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 12: this is a herald lead initiative. It's kicking off later today.

419
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 12: Now there's going to be a speech from Infrastructure Minister

420
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 12: Chris Bishop. This is happening at the Northern Club. The

421
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 12: Project Auckland editor. Now, this is Breno O'Sullivan. We're seeing

422
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 12: a great deal of change in the super city, a

423
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 12: lot of urban rebuilds and major projects on the way.

424
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 12: She says, Look, the city's in a good place, and

425
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 12: you know we've got the projects like the City rail Link,

426
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 12: the International Convention Center nearing completion. So you know, really

427
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 12: the city in the regional deals, they provide this opportunity

428
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 12: to address New Zealand's infrastructure deficit. So O'Sullivan says, it

429
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 12: really is up to you know, Auckland Council on the government,

430
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 12: play nicely, play nicely and just lift that level for

431
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 12: the ambition here for Auckland City.

432
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 2: I've always seen Auckland will be great if we ever

433
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 2: finish it. Now, how's Hawkan's weather?

434
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 12: Well, morning cloud, then find another good one for us.

435
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 12: Twenty threes are high.

436
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 2: I thank you, Neva. And of course I've starting to

437
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 2: callum before about the earthquakes south of the South Island,

438
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 2: which brought warnings of excessive sea movement. Guess what We've

439
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 2: got more activity under the ground. Facardi White Island is

440
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 2: stirring fresh explosive activity at the volcano has ejected ballistic

441
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 2: blocks over six hundred meters from the vent. Temperature at

442
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 2: that vent three hundred and sixty degrees celsius. The volcanicul

443
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 2: level remains at two. If you live in the area,

444
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 2: you may notice ash and it may stink of rotten excess.

445
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 2: The sulf is coming out. This is during northerly winds,

446
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 2: but otherwise the coast remains unaffected earthquakes and volcanoes. We

447
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 2: live in a dynamic country, at least geologically. Gavin Gray

448
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 2: from the UK in just a few moments time, because

449
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 2: about an hour ago, finally a concrete movement in the

450
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 2: Russian Ukraine conflict. More on netnix.

451
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: It's seventeen to six international correspondence with insign Eye Insurance

452
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: Peace of mind for New Zealand business.

453
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 2: This it's fourteen to six until the UK we go

454
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 2: and Kevin Gray joins us Hellkevin either okay, we actually

455
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 2: have some movement in the Ukraine Russian conflict, a ceasefire

456
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 2: in the Black Sea.

457
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 13: Yes, so we think there andrew Black Sea now should

458
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 13: be safe passage for commercial shipping. As the American officials

459
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 13: meeting with Ukraine and Russian representatives is broken up within

460
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 13: the last hour, and now the Ukraine is agreeing to

461
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 13: stop any military force in the Black Sea, but it

462
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 13: says any movement of the Russian naval vessels based of

463
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 13: course in Crimea and in Russia would be a breaking

464
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 13: of under violation of this agreement. In return, we understand

465
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 13: Russia is demanding that the sanctions currently in place on

466
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 13: the banks, the insurers, the food exporters must be lifted first.

467
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 13: They're demanding that before the Black Sea cease far as

468
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 13: it were. They also want to reconnect with SWIFT. That's

469
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 13: the network that facilitates secure banking and financial messaging between

470
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 13: banks now Zelenski. President Zelenski says if Russia violates the

471
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 13: treaty then he wants sanctions reimposed and more weapons. We're

472
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 13: expecting to find out more details later. But Andrew also

473
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 13: with this, has of course been revelations about this chat

474
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 13: between JD. Vans, the numb deputy to Donald Trump, and

475
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 13: Pete Heskeert the Defense Secretary, with Jdvans talking about freedom

476
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 13: of navigation and around that the bombing of the Hooties

477
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 13: with the quote just hate bailing out the europe again,

478
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 13: to which the Defense Secretary Pete Hesker said, I fully

479
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 13: share your loading of European freeloading.

480
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 8: It's pathetic.

481
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 13: No news yet on a response from European leaders about that.

482
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 8: All right.

483
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 2: Now here's the thing. I even knew that the Isle

484
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 2: of Man had its own government and they've been voting

485
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 2: on the right to choose the right to choose to

486
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 2: in their own lives legislation. It's been approved by the Parliament.

487
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,239
Speaker 2: It can now go to Royal a scenes So tell

488
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 2: us about this story.

489
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 8: Yes, So this is a.

490
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 13: Large island really off Liverpool, between Central Mainland UK and

491
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 13: Northern Ireland, and the Isle of Man has its own

492
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 13: legislative set of parliament, but it falls within the UK Parliament,

493
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 13: but it does have its own rules and regulations and

494
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 13: its own ability to make its own laws, and they

495
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 13: are now potentially anyway going to be the first place

496
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 13: in the United Kingdom which allows assisted dying. Now the

497
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 13: whole process will possibly be implemented within the next year

498
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 13: or so, the Parliament in the Isle of Man needs

499
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 13: to give its blessing first and that will mean it

500
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 13: become the first place within the British asles to allow

501
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 13: right to die. But that has to be for people

502
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 13: who have a prognosis left to live of twelve months

503
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 13: or fewer. It is only available to those aged over

504
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 13: eighteen and in a bid to prevent what you might

505
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 13: call assisted dying tourism, where somebody from the Mainland who

506
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 13: can't undergo assisted dying goes to the Isle of Man

507
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 13: for assisted dying, there is a minimum residency period. All

508
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 13: this comes as Whitehall, the main government for the UK,

509
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 13: slightly set a time tied about how it's going to

510
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 13: approach this new law, with the latest theory that even

511
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 13: if it gets the go ahead, it could take up

512
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 13: to four years to implement it. Something the Isle of

513
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 13: man seems capable of doing much faster.

514
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 2: Kevin Gray from the UK, I thank you. It's eleven

515
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 2: to six Dickens all right. The organ stadium debate, Wayne

516
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 2: Brown said, let's just put this to bid was hitting

517
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 2: up Thursday. They're going to have a council vote on this,

518
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 2: and the officials have received a report on the two options,

519
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 2: and that report warns that both eden Park and Key

520
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 2: Parks proposals aren't feasible without public funding. Eden Park two

521
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 2: point zero, for instance, will require at least one hundred

522
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 2: and ten million dollars alone from Central Government for its

523
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 2: initial stage one plan, and that's just the North stand.

524
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 2: So Marris Williamson is an organd councilor who will be

525
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 2: sitting around the table on Thursday and trying to make

526
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 2: a decision about all of this, and joins us our

527
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 2: good morning to here Morris, good funning. Of course, they're

528
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 2: not feasible without public investment. Wasn't that a given right

529
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 2: from the start?

530
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, I would have thought so. They are huge projects

531
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 8: with huge sums of money, and I would have thought, well,

532
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 8: I've still got a lot of questions, says, you can understand,

533
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 8: we haven't had our meeting yet and one of my

534
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 8: questions is why are we involved in this? If these

535
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 8: people are going to do it themselves and they can

536
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 8: fund it and so on, well then we don't need

537
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 8: to be involved. And if we are being involved and

538
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 8: we're saying, well, we're not going to fund anything, it's

539
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 8: almost sort of a double entendre here, I.

540
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 2: Think absolutely, And yet Wayne Brown said put this to bed,

541
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 2: this this come up with a decision, and yet at

542
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 2: the same time it appears if you don't want to

543
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 2: be part of the public funding of it all, it's

544
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 2: never going anywhere. This has been a waste of time.

545
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 8: My question, I think I want to answer it on

546
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 8: Thursday is why are we being brought into this now?

547
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 8: We can obviously provide some assistance by way of consenting

548
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 8: and helping along the way that might assist the speed

549
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 8: of it, But there are huge chunks of money. If

550
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 8: you look at Eden Park two point one, they're talking

551
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 8: about five hundred million minimum to do this Stage one,

552
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 8: two and then the retractable roof Stage three. So again,

553
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 8: I mean it's pretty clear. I think the mayor has

554
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 8: made it clear in his statements that there will be

555
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 8: no funding from the council, So I guess the proposal

556
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 8: still got the ability to go to central government, but

557
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 8: I wouldn't like the chances there either.

558
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 2: But here's the thing. Eden Park rebranded itself as New

559
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 2: Zealand's national stadium, which every other stadium went what. But

560
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 2: that's okay, it's a branding thing. We need a national stadium.

561
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 2: We need a focus for a country. We're what five

562
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 2: and a half million, it's like being a city. We're

563
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 2: competing against Australia. Shouldn't the government actually be stepping in

564
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 2: and saying right, this is the main stadium for the country.

565
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 8: Well, much as I would love to speak on behalf

566
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 8: of the government and make big decisions, I really don't

567
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 8: think I should. It'll be up to them to decide. Now.

568
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 8: There are enormous economic benefits that can happen from these,

569
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 8: because huge events can bring in massive tourism and spending

570
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 8: and hotel bed nights and so on. And you can

571
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 8: actually sometimes put a spreadsheet together which shows an investment

572
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 8: of a few hundred million can get you back multiple

573
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 8: numbers of that. But that would be for central government

574
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 8: to make a decision. I think at Council while we're

575
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 8: sitting on a close to fifteen billion of debt, while

576
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 8: we're struggling to how to pay bills, and while we're

577
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 8: trying not to make the rate payers pay rates and

578
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 8: increases that all make your eyes water. We really haven't

579
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 8: got an ability to start playing in this game as well.

580
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 2: And what are your constituents saying to you? What's the

581
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 2: public saying to you when you're out?

582
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 8: And about everybody I talk to is keen on Eden Park.

583
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 8: There's a sort of a love affair with Eden Park

584
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 8: based on its history, where it's been my concern about

585
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 8: anything that was to be built down on the waterfront,

586
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 8: and it's a pretty sensible concern, I think, is that

587
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 8: if you build on the waterfront, you want something that's

588
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 8: looking out, you know, the harbor view. So you build

589
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 8: apartments and restaurants and hotels, and they all got their

590
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 8: glass windows looking at their beautiful view. That's its value.

591
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 8: But if you build a stadium, it's looking in. You

592
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 8: go and sit down in your seat and you're looking

593
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 8: at the grass inside. So I would have thought the

594
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 8: last thing you would do is build a big stadium

595
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 8: down on the waterfront, which is main feature is it's

596
00:31:55,760 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 8: phenomenal view of the most iconic harbor going. So I'm

597
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 8: a big fan of the old history of Eden Park.

598
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 8: But you know we're going to have an open mind

599
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 8: when we're brief. But my very first question is if

600
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 8: we're not funding this, why are we considering this at all?

601
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 2: Good question, Marris Williamson, have a good meeting on Thursday.

602
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 2: Text through Hospitals and infrastructure are more important than another stadium.

603
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: It is six to six Andrew Dickens on early edition

604
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: with one roof Make your Property Search Simple, youth talk zibby.

605
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 2: I think Marris Williamson is right. If the council says

606
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 2: they're not going to put any funding into a stadium,

607
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 2: and the reports here is it's not feasible without public funding,

608
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 2: why are you even talking about it? What a glorious

609
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 2: waste of time. And Mike Hoskin, you're talking to Martin Snead. Yeah,

610
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 2: i'd like to well, I wish I wasn't.

611
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 14: Not that I don't like Martin Sneddon, because I do

612
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 14: because he's a good bloke, but I mean the irony

613
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 14: and I do apologize to the rest of the country

614
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 14: this morning for literally boring them witless about yet another

615
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 14: inept Auckland thing that isn't going to happen. But Sneddon

616
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 14: was in charge of the Cup in twenty eleven, so

617
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 14: you know, do the math. And even then in twenty eleven,

618
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 14: we were talking about it then as a thing and

619
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,400
