The short story doesn't sound as 9 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 2: bad as perhaps some thought it might have been. Anyway, 10 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 2: we're going to catch up with him later in the show. 11 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 2: Also before six, Labour's finance spokesperson on the government's books, 12 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 2: Who's going to win the America's Cup, a europe correspondent 13 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 2: on North Korean troops seen on the front line in Ukraine, 14 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 2: and why we're too fussy when it comes to buying 15 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 2: a house in New Zealand. 16 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 3: The agenda. 17 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 2: It is finally the eleventh of October.

They're designed like that. The 22 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 4: United Nations peacekeepers drive around in white military vehicles. They 23 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,479 Speaker 4: wear blue hats.

Put in woodcutters where with and in Ukraine, 33 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 5: because there's not only a problem for Ukraine, there's also 34 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 5: a sweat to all of our. 35 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 2: Rutter, of course, is an old mate of Luxin's. They 36 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 2: both worked at UNI lever together. So that you go 37 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 2: some intel. Tennis star Ruffae Nadell is retiring.

We'll begin 52 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 2: with Auckland because there's lots of little things going on 53 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 2: and I think they're all important Auckland. So Auckland Council 54 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 2: had that dumb idea. This was a couple of months ago, 55 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 2: a really dumb idea to actually the dumbest idea since 56 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 2: they brought in the green food scrap bins. The idea 57 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 2: was it was an authoritarian edict from on high to 58 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: have your rubbish collected every two weeks instead of every week. 59 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 2: They must have been high when they were planning this silly, 60 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 2: silly idea. Anyway, it was in an effort to revive 61 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 2: the plague and boost rodent numbers. That was two months ago. 62 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 2: Now they have decided to ditch that and go with 63 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 2: a trial. So just hold off on the vaccine for 64 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 2: the plague, just for the minute. Hopefully we won't need it. 65 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 2: In Wellington. You would have seen this in the news yesterday. 66 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 2: They have decided to keep the airport shares and I 67 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 2: would have thought and actually the mere Tory Farno voted 68 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 2: to keep sell the shares, but most of the councilors 69 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 2: voted to keep the shares, and including some right leaning councilors. 70 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 2: And I was like, what are you doing. You guys 71 00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 2: have got pipes bursting. You need to save my This 72 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 2: is a way to raise some revenue without heading rates. 73 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you sell the shares anyway, went to a 74 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 2: guy called Tony Randall. He's a smart guy. Had him 75 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 2: on the show before. I don't know if I had 76 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 2: him on this show anyways, a smart guy. He's the one. 77 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 2: He used to be an it guy. He used to 78 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 2: be a business analyst, worked in public and private sector. 79 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 2: He's the guy who when in Wellington they were trying 80 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 2: to reduce these speed limits down to thirty kilometers an 81 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 2: hour and they put a business case forward Now, this 82 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 2: business case had gone through every different official at the council, 83 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 2: it had been independently pair reviewed up the wazoo, and 84 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 2: it got to his desk, and he's the only one 85 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 2: who realized there was a two hundred and fifty million 86 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 2: dollar hole in their numbers. They said, if you bring 87 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 2: the speed limits down in basically all streets in Wellington, 88 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 2: the cost benefit would be seven point seven. So for 89 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 2: every dollar you spend, you get seven point seven back. 90 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 2: Actually it was for every dollar you spend. Who's a 91 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 2: dollar eighty Okay, so this guy knows what he's talking about. Anyway, 92 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 2: I emailed him yesterday Leo did. Thank you Leo, just 93 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 2: to find out what he thought about it. He said, 94 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 2: today the majority changed the decision on the sale of 95 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 2: the airport shares, and this is democracy and action. I 96 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 2: am happy we will re establish the insurance debt headroom 97 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 2: and that we will have to cut some of the 98 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 2: major projects to do this. This city needs to make 99 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 2: the hard decisions to focus only on essential services and 100 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 2: projects so we can turn the corner on fixing the pipes, 101 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 2: which is the biggest decision this council will have to make. 102 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 2: So there you go. Those are the words of Tony Randall, 103 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 2: who has written to our program this morning. It's basically 104 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 2: what I think they've done. Did you want to sell 105 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 2: the shares and then have that money floating around in 106 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 2: the coffers for all those wackos on the other side 107 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 2: of the council table to go and spend on even 108 00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 2: more ridiculous stuff. Or do you keep those shares, have 109 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 2: a headroom for the insurance and kind of force them 110 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 2: to cut budgets on dumb projects. I think that's the 111 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 2: approach that they've taken. Correct me if I'm wrong. Nine 112 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 2: to nine two the number to text. Twelve minutes after. 113 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 3: Five, Ryan Bridge, some. 114 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 7: Job. 115 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 2: Yes, So four people have died in Hurricane Milton and 116 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 2: it's still causing damage across Florida at the moment.

North Korean 123 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 2: military engineers have apparently been deployed to help Russia target Ukraine. 124 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 2: This is with their ballistic missiles. The North Koreans have 125 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 2: been operating in occupied areas of Ukraine. Some of them 126 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 2: have already been killed. Now this information has come from 127 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 2: Kiev in Ukraine, but also from Seoul, so is considered 128 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 2: relatively reliable. You might be asking yourself what on earth 129 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 2: North Koreans doing on the front lines in Ukraine. Well, 130 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 2: the answer, of course is Putin and Kim Jong and 131 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 2: our mates, and clearly he's supplying him with much needed expertise. 132 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 2: Quarter past five, Ryan Bridge, It's taken a lot of 133 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 2: expertise to evacuate some of those trapped by the floodwaters. 134 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 2: We're going to.

I'm just looking out of 140 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 8: the water where I am where the hurricane, the back 141 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 8: end of the hurricane passer last night, and there's still 142 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 8: you know, sort of surges with the top of the barriers. 143 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 2: Here surface flooding. 144 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 8: A number of the businesses have got their sandbags across 145 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 8: their buildings. But really here in many parts of Florida, 146 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 8: it wasn't as bad as perhaps it was forecast to 147 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 8: b last night. 148 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 2: How many I think the death toll was at four 149 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 2: at the moment. Lots of people evacuated, our authorities saying 150 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 2: the worst is over now. 151 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 8: Well, the latest information that we have in the last 152 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 8: couple of moments is that death toll is now six 153 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 8: and the scale of the damage is really only becoming clear. 154 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 8: So four people died in a retirement community in Saint 155 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 8: Lucy County that was reportedly as a result of tornadoes 156 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 8: that were around before the actual storm hit last night. 157 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 8: A number of people had to be rescued there as well, 158 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 8: and two people now we know have also died in 159 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 8: the city of Saint Petersburg. In terms of rescues, which 160 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 8: you've talked about in Tampa, one hundred and thirty five 161 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 8: people had to be rescued from an assisted living facility 162 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 8: where first responders arrived and they found people up to 163 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 8: their waste and water. In terms of the infrastructure damage, Ryan, 164 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 8: there's some extraordinary pictures we've seen this morning coming out 165 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 8: of Saint Petersburg, a Major League Baseball stadium called Tropa 166 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 8: Khana Field. The roof there was pretty much ripped off 167 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 8: because of the hurricane. And just down the road in 168 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 8: the same city, Saint Petersburg, a large crane was blown over, 169 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 8: toppled into a nearby building and caused that building is 170 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 8: pretty much destroyed now. So there are some big situations 171 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 8: like that that have happened. But as I say, you know, 172 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,319 Speaker 8: as the afternoon goes on, people are going to go 173 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 8: out and find more damage. So the entire scale isn't 174 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 8: clear just yet. 175 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 2: Merchet's obviously early days, but this stuff always eventually becomes political. 176 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 2: The response to it, that is, how are they being judged? 177 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 2: That is both Trump and Harris at the moment. 178 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 8: Well, this has become really political. Even after a Hurricane 179 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 8: Helen last week. Donald Trump was one of the first candidates, 180 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 8: first politicians, I guess to arrive and talk to people 181 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 8: on the scene. Then Kamala Harris has been there, Joe 182 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 8: Biden's been there. There's been a bit of a dispute 183 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 8: between the Governor of Florida, Ronda Santis and Kamala Harris 184 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 8: because he reportedly refused to pick up her phone calls. 185 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 8: But he said, why is she even calling me? She's 186 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,199 Speaker 8: never called before when there's been a hurricane. Donald Trump, 187 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 8: on the other hand, has been accused of blaket misinformation, 188 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 8: saying things like the money that was supposed to go 189 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 8: to survivors or people in need is actually going to 190 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 8: illegal immigrants, and people are believing these sort of things. 191 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,839 Speaker 8: Marjorie Taylor Green, who I know we've probably talked about before, 192 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 8: is a Republican congresswoman who suggested on social media that 193 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 8: these hurricanes might be engineered, they might be human caused hurricanes, 194 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 8: which is obviously completely wrong. But you know, some people 195 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 8: in some of these states do believe what their politicians 196 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 8: tell them. So the White House has had to go 197 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 8: on a sort of big campaign to combat misinformation. 198 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,839 Speaker 2: Goodness, May she's talking cloud seeding, isn't she. Mitch, thank 199 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 2: you for that. Mitch McCann, our US correspondent with US 200 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,719 Speaker 2: Live from Saint Augustine and Florida. The good news as well, 201 00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 2: the sad news is four people six people now have 202 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 2: lost their lives, but not as bad as feared. It 203 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 2: is nineteen after five News TALKSB. 204 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 3: News and Views you Trust to start your day.

News Talks EDB. 207 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 2: Friday morning, we had inflation data out from the US 208 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 2: overnight the September year on year up two point four percent. 209 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 2: They were expecting two point three percent. So inflation cooling. Yes, 210 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 2: that is good, as quickly as expected. No, that's not 211 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 2: so good. The Fed is doing a decision next month, 212 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 2: and what we want is for them to cut cut, cut, 213 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 2: much in the same way our Reserve Bank has here. 214 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 2: Our core prices is the problem. This is prices excluding 215 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 2: food and energy. They are above expectations. There's also some 216 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 2: more data coming out tonight our time, so fingers crossed, 217 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 2: we can just start hacking away at those rates. Twenty 218 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 2: two after five Ryan Bridge.

Thirteen races first to seven. When's weather plays 222 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 2: ball first should be Sunday morning, very early our time. 223 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 2: Richard Gladwell is the Sale Sale World end Z editor. 224 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 2: He's with us this morning. Good morning, Richard, Great, I'm 225 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 2: very well, Thank you. Are you feeling confident? 226 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 9: Oh yeah, I mean, I think the thing with the 227 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 9: cup is it's it's always the defenders to lose, So 228 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 9: the defender has already got to screw something up to 229 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 9: lose it. But I think, you know, when you look 230 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 9: back at it, they haven't had a lot of racing 231 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 9: against anyos, but yeah, I mean a team Zell Rook sharp, 232 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 9: and they should should be able to do with They've 233 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 9: always had a design edge over the other guys, and 234 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 9: it's just all part and parcel of you know, the 235 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 9: advantage that the defender does have. People look at that 236 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 9: racing and think it was already close in the Challenges series, 237 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 9: but the point they forget is that Temy Films have 238 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 9: another three months of development on top of those guys, 239 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 9: so you know, you can certainly do a lot in there. 240 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 9: And I don't think this is going to be a 241 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 9: speed contest. I don't think there's you know, it's a 242 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 9: race that's going to be won by super Boat, but 243 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 9: I think they will have just that little little edge. 244 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 2: I was going to ask about speed. Should we be 245 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 2: worried that they didn't race at the top end speeds 246 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 2: and so far in Barcelona. 247 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 9: Well, I think it's going to work against the British, 248 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 9: to be honest, because most of their racing was in 249 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 9: strong wines and the forecast for the weekend of Monday 250 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 9: is pretty light winds, so there will certainly have a 251 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 9: lighter end of the lighter end of the scale. So yeah, 252 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 9: it helps us. I think you're just yeah, it's just 253 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 9: I mean it's very hard to read, and I mean 254 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 9: everyone gets super nervous about it and and all that 255 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 9: sort of thing. Will these races are very tight. I 256 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 9: mean the legs are only about three and a half 257 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 9: minutes long. You know, it's all over very quickly, ore 258 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 9: extending about to eight leagues to get to their target time, 259 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 9: which is about twenty six minutes. But you know, you 260 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 9: do see a lot go on there. 261 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 2: Do you do you think do you think many people 262 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 2: will watched Richard? I mean, obviously the timing is terrible 263 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 2: for here in New Zealand, but. 264 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 9: Well, I don't know, and I think it's that is 265 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 9: really bad for New Zealand because you know, you hear 266 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 9: people now, they won't get up and look at it, 267 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 9: you know, midnight or one in the morning. And the 268 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 9: other problem they've got over there, particularly when you like 269 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 9: it's just I mean, I've been up working all night. 270 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 9: But the women there, they started they tried having one 271 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 9: race at twelve o'clock their time, which is one o'clock 272 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 9: in the morning our time back got wiped out with 273 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 9: these terrible cross seas that were so everyone was falling 274 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 9: off foils, and they stayed around for another three hours 275 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 9: after that then gave it away. 276 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 2: See that's the thing, Richard. If you're getting up to 277 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 2: watch and then you're waiting, waiting, waiting while everyone's falling over, 278 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 2: you may not stay up too late. Richard, thank you 279 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 2: very much for your time. Great to have you on 280 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 2: the show.

We're not too poor, we're too fussy. So 290 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 2: trade me has surveyed its members as the market's showing 291 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 2: green shoots, et cetera, et cetera. Forty four percent of 292 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 2: buyers we're willing to compromise on the size of a section, 293 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 2: only forty percent on the size of the property, only 294 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 2: forty percent on the size of the garden, only thirty 295 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 2: three percent on the condition of the property, and twenty 296 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 2: eight percent on the location. So if you flip those numbers, 297 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 2: around fifty five percent of people won't compromise on section size. 298 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 2: I'll have the section size I like and nothing else. 299 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 2: Sixty percent no compromise on the size of the property, 300 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 2: sixty percent none on the garden, sixty seven percent it 301 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 2: must be new or near new, thank you very much. 302 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 2: And seventy two percent won't travel or leave their favorite suburb. 303 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 2: I mean hard to please much. Hey, I bought a 304 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 2: house with holes in the floor and the walls. There 305 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 2: were plants growing from the ground up into my bathroom. 306 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 2: The shower pulled. I had to use a bucket to 307 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 2: empty the shower every morning. This carried on for two years. 308 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 2: In fact, the shower was so small and the shower 309 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 2: head was fixed, so I had to duck every time 310 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 2: I got on the shower to have a shower and 311 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 2: duck my head, and the shower head was fixed. It 312 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 2: would only get me from my nipples down. Had very 313 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 2: clean nipples, very filthy here. Anyway, The point of the 314 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 2: story is I lived like that for two years. I 315 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,679 Speaker 2: fixed it up. On you go, Things are okay, but 316 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 2: you have to compromise. Property is not a perfectionist game, 317 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 2: is it. It's about compromise and it's about trade offs. 318 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 2: Like any good negotiation, surely everything must be on the table. 319 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 3: Ryan Bridge New for twenty twenty four on early edition 320 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 3: with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store. 321 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 3: News Talk ZIBB. 322 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 2: Good morning, it is twenty four away from six. You're 323 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 2: on news Talk, said b Vincent Macavini. Are UK europe 324 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 2: correspondents with us on the Dale announcing his retirement finally 325 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 2: at thirty eight years old. We'll talk about that has 326 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,199 Speaker 2: reasons for it also our reporters around the country. In 327 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 2: just a few seconds, this text from Jane Ryan. Solar 328 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 2: storm hitting Earth right now. According to the National Oceanic 329 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 2: and Atmospheric Administration estimates its severe possible issues for electrical 330 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 2: grid as New Zealand is turning into the storm because 331 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 2: we're going into daylight.

Enjoy it, don't worry about it. Ryan, 334 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 2: Given that Tory Farno voted to sell the airport shares, 335 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 2: then obviously keeping them was the right decision. The council 336 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 2: would have just blown any money received from the sale 337 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 2: of the shares.

Max. You 386 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 2: were absolutely positively unsure about what the hell's going on 387 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 2: with the you. That's right. 388 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 12: Watching it all play out in real time in our newsroom, 389 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 12: it's still quite baffling how it all happened. It was 390 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 12: agreed to sell shares in Wellington Airport, move them to 391 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 12: this fund, this money to the fund to better prepare 392 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 12: the city in the event of a disaster, to boost insurance, 393 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 12: diversify funds. Then counselors started changing their minds. Some said 394 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 12: they weren't given the whole picture by officials the city. 395 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 12: The Chief executive meanwhile, stepped down. Labour got heavily involved, 396 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 12: pushing not to sell. Top national figures urged the sale 397 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 12: to go ahead. Clearly there was some strong lobbying going 398 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 12: on under the water's surface, and not to strain a metaphor, 399 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 12: but that water has been getting choppier and choppier. Yesterday 400 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 12: a vote to stop the sale, throwing the long term 401 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 12: plan into jeopardy. The potential for the Crown to get 402 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 12: involved rises again. Dirty politics, chaos, disunity, failure, the most 403 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 12: painful and unpleasant chapter in decades, all terms thrown around 404 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 12: at council yesterday. Tadanaki Fannui pointing out an absence of 405 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 12: leadership in the city, but ultimately another major body blow 406 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,719 Speaker 12: for a mayor whose only real success in her tenure 407 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 12: in terms of what was promised, will be its most 408 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 12: divisive to spend on cycling and cycle ways you. 409 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 2: Could have written a book for us just then, Max, 410 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 2: thank you hawsh your weather. 411 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 12: Today, pay me to and I will fine after a 412 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 12: cheley start fourteen, Thank you very much. 413 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 2: Neva is a thinking So this is like a trilogy, 414 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 2: you know, Lord of the Rings. It lasted about as long, 415 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 2: Max over duo. Neither the Fortnightly Rubbish Collection, which I 416 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 2: thought was just begging for the plague to return and 417 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 2: for rodents to explode. And they're actually going to do 418 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 2: a mere culper and say no, that's right. 419 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 13: Well look this is interesting, isn't it. It's that good 420 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 13: old chestnut of you know, weekly fortnightly.

So this is before the Council considers 425 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 13: whether it should be rolled out, you know, to the 426 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 13: entire region. So it's not known where or when the 427 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 13: trial will take place. But yeah, you know, so it's 428 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 13: it's quite it's a big talking point here.

Thanks so 519 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 2: much for that. That's since at Macavviny, a UK europe 520 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 2: correspondent just gone eleven minutes away. 521 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 3: From six Bryan Bridge. 522 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 2: Government's books have sunk further into the red in the 523 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 2: year to June, partly thanks to high personnel costs at 524 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 2: Health New Zealand and soaring acc claims. Treasury revealed the 525 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,640 Speaker 2: deficit on the Crown books deepened by three point four billion. 526 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 2: It was also one point eight billion worse than Treasury 527 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 2: forecast that was only back in May, the total twelve 528 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 2: point nine billion. Barbara Edmonds as Labour's finance spokesperson, she's 529 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,120 Speaker 2: with me this morning. Good morning, Good morning, Ryan. Good 530 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 2: to have you on the show. Is this a bad result? 531 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 15: Yeah, it's a really grim read of the government accounts 532 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 15: at anyone has the actual look at them. This is 533 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 15: the largest annual deficit since the pandemic in twenty twenty 534 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 15: and if you go back to the GFC, what's a 535 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 15: nominal term as the economy, So it's not a great read. 536 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 15: The fact that they've had to be revived. I think 537 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 15: a bit really shows that the economic management is very dubious. 538 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 2: Okay, are you talking about Grant Robertson's So. 539 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 15: No, this is nicol Willison. So this is the largest 540 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 15: and your beffit since COVID. 541 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 2: And then if you look at the GUS, but the 542 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 2: numbers tell us Grant Robertson added five point six billion 543 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 2: from budget twenty three, Nikola Willis chok off one point 544 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 2: one billion since her mini budget. 545 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 15: Also what you see is that the majority of this 546 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 15: is during the government's time. And if you've read on 547 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,959 Speaker 15: page ten of the Fiscal Accounts, as you noted before, 548 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 15: part of the spending of it is because of the 549 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 15: higher cost of borrowing during obviously high inflation. 550 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 2: And who did a borro. 551 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 15: Majority of its teaches, the nursery. 552 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 2: Space, who did the borrowing, who did the borough. 553 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 15: Borough twelve point twelve billion for income sex cups whiles? 554 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 2: But which minister did the borring before that in budget 555 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 2: twenty three? See what I saying. So the numbers tell 556 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 2: us that Grant added five point six billion from budget 557 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 2: twenty three, Nicola Willis took off one point one billion 558 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 2: since their mini budget. Do you disagree with that. 559 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 15: But what I don't agree with is that borrowing for 560 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 15: tax cuts has made this worse. 561 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, don't need to be. 562 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 15: As bad as it did. That those were the choices 563 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 15: that this government has made, okay, and the borrowing that 564 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 15: right Robinson had done again and your gift aff not 565 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 15: this is higher than it was in twenty twenty at 566 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 15: the height of COVID. 567 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about because you said this is 568 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 2: a bad result, right, it's too high? Should we be 569 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:38,959 Speaker 2: making more cuts to the public service? 570 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 9: No? 571 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 2: Okay? 572 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 15: Should it even being is that? 573 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 2: Should we be increased Should we be increasing additional funding 574 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 2: for cost pressures for our frontline services and our government departments. 575 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 15: Will you ask the people who are struggling to see 576 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 15: their gp because their GP costs have gone up, they 577 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 15: would that they would prefer that their text cuts have 578 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 15: gone to help with that capitation funding That would say 579 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 15: for their GPCs to the inflation has been pushed out 580 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 15: to everybody that use a pay system. But that's what 581 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 15: I mean by public service cut? How do you have 582 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 15: gone too hard to fast? 583 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 2: Too hard to fast? It's only been apparently three point 584 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 2: three percent cut in the last six months two thousand jobs. 585 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 2: It's still sixty four thousand working there. But how can 586 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 2: you have how can you keep the public servants, increase 587 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 2: the budgets in line with inflation, but also at the 588 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 2: same time, so the deficit's too big. 589 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 15: So Ryan, and that's the point. It's not just public 590 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 15: servants as in account of the people. It is the 591 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 15: cut through the funding that flows to the very the 592 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 15: different agencies that gets distributed to people to help them 593 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 15: during a cost of living crisis. Yeah, but how do 594 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 15: you fund I mean by public services. 595 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 2: You can't have your cake and eat it too. You 596 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 2: can't say, well, keep all the public servants, we'll increase 597 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 2: all the budgets, but we'll also reduce the deficit, can you. 598 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 15: Well, that's because you don't need to borrow. Well, Labour 599 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 15: could say that because you don't need to borrow for 600 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 15: text cuts, the landlords become text cuts or for text 601 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 15: cuts with the better companies be the choices. 602 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 2: All right, Barbara, we have to leave it there. Thank 603 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 2: you very much for your time.

We've 609 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 2: just had Barbara Edmunds on Labour's finance spokesperson, Mike's here. 610 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 2: She was saying, basically, people would prefer that they had 611 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 2: cheaper hospital visits, et cetera, rather than the tax cut 612 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 2: that they got to Yes, crap. 613 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, most people think it's crap. 614 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 2: Do you think she's a leader? You like her? I 615 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 2: like the cut of her jib I do, and I 616 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 2: like the answers she gives. Whenever someone says do you 617 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 2: want to be leader? Do you want to be the 618 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 2: prime minister? She said, bro, I've got eight kids. Yeah. 619 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 6: I believe her in that because the only reason I 620 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 6: ask is that they're going to get around eventually, probably 621 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 6: sooner rather than later, getting rid of Hipkins because he's 622 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:04,479 Speaker 6: such a disaster and so. 623 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 2: But the question is who she'd be wise not to yes. 624 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 6: And so, so she's already ruled out when she says that, 625 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 6: I believe her. Mcinaalty's the other one who's ruled out 626 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 6: in a kind of you believe them kind of way. 627 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 2: You don't believe you think it's a bit susty. It's 628 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 2: a poison chalice, isn't. I mean, they're not going to 629 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 2: win the next election, so you're just pout of you. 630 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 2: Well that's the problem. 631 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 6: See, this is where it gets difficult because I don't 632 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 6: think they're going to win the next election the way 633 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 6: things tracking at the moment. So at that point they'll 634 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 6: panic and go, geez, we're not going to win. We 635 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 6: need a new leader. And then they'll throw somebody but 636 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 6: the mat No, no, no, the Labor of the Labor Party. 637 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 6: So I mean, so who is it? Because I mean, 638 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 6: look at that talent? 639 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 2: Throw Megan? Would you what for? I mean, you know 640 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 2: what I mean. You're just taking one for the team, 641 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 2: aren't you. I guess. 642 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 6: So anyway we'll go. In general, I think we can 643 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 6: say that what happened in Florida was not nearly as 644 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 6: bad as they overcook it. 645 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 2: Yes we did. 646 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 6: So anyway, we'll get back on the ground and. 647 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 2: And Dulton today as well.
