Speaker 2: That is, Belgium had to shut its main airport. Apparently

13
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: the drones entered airspace and military based airspace. The UK

14
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,400

15
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 3: Defense Section I agreed that we would deploy our people

16
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 3: of our equipment to Belgium to help them. It is

17
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 3: important to be clear though that we don't know and

18
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 3: the Belgians don't yet know the source of backed those drones.

19
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 4: And.

20
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 3: But we will help them by providing our kit and capability.

Speaker 2: A million people evacuated.

23
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 5: Many people have left their homes and moved into stronger

24
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 5: buildings into evacuation centers for safety to ride out this storm.

25
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 5: And of course the Philippines has been basted already by

26
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 5: another typhoon, Camegi, which kills at least a couple of

27
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 5: hundred people. Further south in Sabooth there's been an earthquake already.

28
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 5: This country is really reeling from natural disasters this year.

29
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 2: To the US we go now, Senators worked all week

30
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: in trying to open up the government and stop the shutdown.

31
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: Didn't work in predictably, they're all blaming Trump, while the

32
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 2: Dems are at least.

33
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 6: He had no interest or energy into avoiding this government shutdown.

34
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 6: He has no interest or energy to end it today.

35
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 6: He's the president of the United States. As someone who's

36
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 6: an executive chief detective state larger than twenty one state

37
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 6: populations combine the fourth large economy, you have irresponsibility in

38
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 6: that raw so convene to bring people together. That's why

39
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 6: there's a government shutdown period.

40
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth

41
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and R. V. Supercenter,

42
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: explore r VS, accessories and servicing fall in.

43
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 7: One US talks.

44
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,399
Speaker 2: That'd be eight after five on your Monday morning, nine

45
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 2: two nine two the numbers text. You know the AI

46
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 2: bubble that we've been talking about for a while, and

47
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: now we forget about that. What about the the energy

48
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 2: crash that's coming from AI. Let's talk about that this morning.

49
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 2: So AI very electricity hungry beast. As we know. Apparently

50
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 2: for a seuit you do on Google, for the same

51
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 2: search you do on Chat GPT ten times the energy

52
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 2: required for one Google search. Data centers need massive amounts

53
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: of energy, big data energy these guys need, and that

54
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: pushes demand up, which presumably pushes prices up. Right, the

55
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: Aussies are having problems with their grid, much like we are.

56
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: New South Wales has just fast tracked twenty three data centers.

57
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 2: This is despite not having enough affordable electricity to tap

58
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: into keep their aluminium smelters open. Beyond I think it's

59
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight. I was reading at the weekend now

60
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 2: here Luxon like Adourn before him, promising Amazon will build

61
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 2: these massive data centers in New Zealand. Great, what will

62
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: we power them with? What will the demand due to

63
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: prices in the States. Apparently electricity prices have jumped as

64
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: much as two hundred percent in homes around data centers

65
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 2: where they've been built. And we've got a government hell

66
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: bent on oil and gas saving our energy day. We've

67
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: got an opposition hell bent on anything but that, and

68
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: international investors in the middle kind of scratching their heads

69
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: keeping their wallets closed. We've got markets unsure if the

70
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: gent tailors that we taxpayers own half of will be

71
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: sold off completely or thrown into some labor party fund

72
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: as seed assets for an investment scheme. You know, wind solar,

73
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: great weather dependent. Whether it's a mill in Tocodo, data

74
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 2: centers in Auckland, they all need a consistent, reliable supply

75
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: to keep the lights on and to keep growth happening.

76
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: And our politicians might promise the world on growth, but

77
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: none of it is possible or affordable without a decent

78
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 2: energy solution. And at present, given the bickering between the

79
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: two big parties, I don't think we.

80
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 7: Have one bridge bridge.

81
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: Five ten on news talks. He be coming up next,

82
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: we'll look at unfortunately related issue, which is insolvencies. Business

83
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 2: in solvency is up quite massively since twenty twenty two.

84
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 2: That's next. News Talk Set B.

85
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 7: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Bryan

Speaker 7: Bridge and r V Supercenter explore r VS accessories and

87
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 7: servicing all in one News Talks.

88
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: B five twelve. Did you watch the meth announcement yesterday?

89
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 2: Probably not, but I had a wee look of it.

90
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 2: We've got Nicole McKee on the show before six, and

91
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: I couldn't help but feel like I've heard this all

92
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 2: before you. Now we're going to boost the inspections of

93
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: the borders. We're going to give an extra I think

94
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 2: it was thirty million dollars to rehab facility. I mean,

95
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: they're so under resourced as it is. Is that going

96
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: to make much of a difference. Do we really think,

97
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: you know, meth use is apparently doubled. Do we really

98
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 2: think that throwing thirty million dollars and a few extra

99
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 2: custom staff that the problem is going to fix it?

100
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 2: I don't think so. And point to me a country

101
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: which has had success in stopping this the war on

102
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,799
Speaker 2: drugs thing. Point to me a country that's had success

103
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 2: in doing this following our approach. You can't five thirteen

104
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 2: Ryan Breds, insolvencies are up one hundred and fifteen percent

105
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 2: since mid twenty twenty two. It is expected to continue

106
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 2: until next year, well into next year. Actually, retail, transport, construction, hospitality,

107
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 2: they're taking the biggest hits, up nearly forty percent on

108
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 2: pre COVID levels. Catherine Rich is Business New Zealand Chief

109
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 2: Executive with me this morning. Catherine, Good morning, Good morning, Ryan.

110
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 2: Good to have you on the show. Is this trend easing?

111
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 2: You know, this is over sort of three year period

112
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 2: we're talking about. Is it now easing or is it

113
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 2: just the same as it was a couple of years ago.

114
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 8: Well, according to the lake To data release bicentrics, the

115
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 8: liquidation rates are improving across some of the sectors, but

116
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 8: it still reflects how tough it is to be in

117
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:22,239
Speaker 8: business and many there are many reasons which we could

118
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 8: point to. I think we're still facing a post COVID hangover.

119
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 8: Some firms faced inflation and higher interest rates. Consumers stopped

120
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 8: spending cost pressures. Of course, ireds taking a few more

121
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 8: to court. So the combination of that's still concerning.

122
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 2: What is the lesson we're learning from this, because this is,

123
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 2: as you say, we've had COVID, We've had the interest rates,

124
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: We've had weather events, you know, the whole bunch of

125
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 2: stuff is compounding, and the bad things are happening one

126
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 2: after another and people can't hold on. What do we

127
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: learned from.

128
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 8: This, Well, I think we need to go right back

129
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 8: to how handled COVID, you know, and think the initial lockdowns.

130
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 8: Everybody supported those more or less, but we did make

131
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 8: a lot of firms that could have traded safely shut down.

132
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 8: So I think next time, when there is a new pandemic,

133
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 8: and there will be one, that we say, which of

134
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 8: the firms that can trade safely rather than just have

135
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 8: an arbitrary delimination of your essential or you're not essential.

136
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 8: But also I think looking at the trend, there is

137
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 8: some good news. It looks like liquidations are easing. Remember,

138
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 8: liquidations are just the tip of the iceberg. Most firms

139
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 8: just quietly closed shut their doors and leave a hole

140
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 8: on the high street. But overall, I think business conditions

141
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 8: are going to be improving heading into twenty twenty six.

142
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 2: Do you want the government to do anything to help

143
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: business right now?

144
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 8: I think we're coming to a situation where the government

145
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 8: can do a few things. It's working pretty hard to

146
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 8: strip back unnecessary regulation. It's also looking to fill the

147
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 8: infrastructure pipe because, as you noted, constructions being one of

148
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 8: the hardest hit and that's because councils and the government

149
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 8: stop spending on infrastructure and maintenance, so those that expenditure

150
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 8: will start to filter through. I think also the government's

151
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 8: needs some of the problems of getting staffed. It's looked

152
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 8: at how it can cut back on its own spending

153
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 8: to introduce greatest fiscal discipline. We know inflation is under control,

154
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 8: so that's having a positive impact on debt servicing for businesses.

155
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 8: So there are a lot of things happening. It's just

156
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 8: there's been a long lead time before we're seeing some

157
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:51,719
Speaker 8: positive change.

158
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: Catherine, appreciate your time this morning. Catherine Rich Business New

159
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 2: Zealanty of Executive Times, seventeen after five, Ryan Bridge, we'll

160
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 2: talk about the the flow on it. You know, you've

161
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 2: got one event then the next thing. Normally you think

162
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 2: you got six or seven good years between bad things

163
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 2: happening to the economy, but it just doesn't seem like

164
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 2: we're getting any breathing room. A Liam Dan had a

165
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: good piece in the Herald about this at the weekend.

166
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 2: There's just no breathing space, so you can't recover your losses.

167
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 2: If you're on the edge, you just get pushed over.

168
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that twenty past five this morning, which

169
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 2: is in three minutes, so I better hurry up. Ryan.

170
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: This is from Paul. My neighbor is a significant meth dealer.

171
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 2: I've been reporting it to police for four months. They've

172
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 2: done nothing, no response, even five point seventeen. On News

173
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 2: Talk Seed B, we'll talk to Colm Key about all

174
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 2: of that. You know, is throwing a little bit of

175
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 2: money and a few extra cops on the beat actually

176
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 2: going to fix a problem that is, you know, doubled

177
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 2: in size over the last year. News Talk Seed B

178
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 2: on your.

179
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: Radio and online on iheard Radio Early Edition with Ryan

180
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: Bridge and Are the Supercenter explore r V successories and servicing.

181
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 2: All in one News Talk Seed B five twenty. Great

182
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: to have your coming this morning. I watched a movie

183
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 2: at the Week in a House of Dynamites on Netflix.

184
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: Really good. I would highly recommend it. Well, if you

185
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: want to see lots of action, there's not a lot

186
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 2: of action. It's basically, there is a missile, nuclear missile

187
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 2: coming towards America. It's going to take out Chicago, and

188
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 2: the whole movie is the video conference call with the

189
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 2: president about what to do about it, and they replay

190
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 2: that from three different perspectives over the space of an

191
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 2: hour and a half. So if you like action, they're

192
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 2: at there's a lot of talking and sitting at on

193
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 2: zoom calls. But it's fascinating because it's it's kind of based.

194
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 2: It goes through the whole chain of command. You know

195
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 2: what happens if there's a decapitation event where the president

196
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: is taken out. All of this stuff. I find it fascinating. Anyway,

197
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 2: it's a really good movie. Actually, the nuclear stuff never

198
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: really happens, does it certainly hasn't happened in a long time,

199
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 2: which is the whole point of it. It's a deterrent.

200
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: The real action is actually in space and with drones. Germany,

201
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 2: this is in real life. Germany and the UK have

202
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: warned about Russian Chinese space satellites. Apparently they're spying on

203
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: our satellites in space. They're stalking them, they're jamming them,

204
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 2: and they're interfering with them, and they're doing this on

205
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 2: a frequent basis. In the last couple of weeks, Belgium

206
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: as I mentioned earlier the military base there had Russian

207
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 2: drones into the airspace. Airports closed. This is Belgium where

208
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 2: the EU Parliament is based. So yeah, fun and fancy

209
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 2: with the nukes up up in the movie land, but

210
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 2: down here it's the real action really is drones and

211
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 2: space on the defense front. It's twenty one minutes, half

212
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 2: to five. Have a sport. Good morning, Andrew, Greetings Ryan.

213
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 2: Let's start with Liam Lawson and f one. That's happening

214
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 2: six this morning out time clock.

215
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 9: So got what landed Orison, Pole and Lawson and seventh

216
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 9: on the Great it's got a prime opportunity here to

217
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 9: get some points. And of course Bo his chances of

218
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 9: retaining that seat for twenty twenty six with Racing Bulls

219
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 9: or Red Bull depending on where to go. But and

220
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 9: what happens with that that syndicate, But yeah, prime chance

221
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 9: at and Telagos when that gets underway in Supaula.

222
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 2: Brilliant, No doubt you and Michael would both be across that.

223
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 9: Well, Michael probably be crossing more Thannihili. He's the avid

224
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 9: petrol head amongst us.

225
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 2: You know, Thank goodness for Damien McKenzie at the weekend.

226
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 9: Yeah, Jamie McK that's a fair effort is as a

227
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 9: super sub for one of a better terms that and

228
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 9: I don't know quite how he can taart himself to

229
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 9: get that try, but it was pretty welcome at that

230
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 9: stage in the piece, wasn't it. I Mean they've survived,

231
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 9: they've got their twenty five seventeen. The Grand Slam dream

232
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 9: remains alive. But McKenzie well both with that and the

233
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 9: penalty goal towards the end of me the classic blood

234
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 9: streaming down the face as he.

235
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 2: Does, which you could see because they were wearing the

236
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 2: white jersey.

237
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 9: Yes, yes, you know it's sort of accentuated it didn't it.

238
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 2: It did Actually looking at them yesterday and looking at

239
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 2: them doing the interviews on the news last night. I

240
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 2: mean it looks like they've been in a gang fight,

241
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 2: doesn't you know. They're just bruised and bloodied, and the

242
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 2: white shirts made that all the more.

243
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 9: It was quite the yeah, the battle at Murrayfield, so

244
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 9: to speak. So yeah, they've been able to keep this

245
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 9: record alive against Scotland as well, Scotland looking a lot

246
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 9: stronger than they have done. Well, they've become stronger in

247
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 9: recent years, but there was a period or a lull

248
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 9: there where they were pretty weak. But that, yeah, it's

249
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 9: not going to get any easier for the All Blacks

250
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 9: up against England that took them this weekend.

251
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 2: Now in Black Caps, how are we doing? Yes, well, superbly.

252
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 9: I mean they've they've held their nerve in the last

253
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 9: two games at least, and remarkably just the margin of

254
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 9: victory in each of the game's so seven runs, three

255
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 9: runs and nine runs all going down to the final over.

256
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's.

257
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 9: That's a terrific effort in Nelson to be able to

258
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 9: take a two to one lead in the five match series.

259
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 9: Fourth match today again at Saxton Oval, And yeah, well

260
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 9: I was quite impressed, particularly by the bowling of East

261
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 9: Sody on this occasion, just with three weeks. It's got

262
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 9: three weeks in the previous game as well. Always likes

263
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 9: seeing the league spin an action in particularly the googly

264
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 9: and gaining the wickets. So that if that makes any

265
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 9: sense to your right, not really, but ah, well, was

266
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 9: the cricket fans out there, I hope.

267
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: And you thank you Andrew Watison the Sport this morning

268
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 2: and there's twenty four minutes after five news talks.

269
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: They'd be the early edition full the show podcast on

270
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: i Art Radio powered by NEWSTALKSB.

271
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 2: Five twenty six News Talks. They'd be great to have

272
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 2: your company this morning. Tom Riedo is a national park

273
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 2: for a reason. It's a stunning, beautiful part of this

274
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 2: country and the fact that's currently on fire is obviously worrying,

275
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 2: not just because it's a fire and you want filers

276
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 2: to be put out, but also because of where it's happening.

277
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: It will pay who central North Island. I've been taking

278
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: a hammering lately. You'll know this. You know Meles Factory. Forestry,

279
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 2: tourism has been affected. We've had the alpine lifts debarcle.

280
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 2: The mountain's kind of been battling for a week while

281
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 2: all this after COVID and now you potentially putting summer

282
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 2: bookings at risk with a decent chunk of the park

283
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 2: now raging fire. Businesses can only take so much before

284
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 2: something breaks, as it has for many since the heady

285
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 2: days of free government money during the pandemic. Today we're

286
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 2: reporting one hundred and fifteen percent increase in insolvent seasons

287
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. The problem is not just inflation eating

288
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 2: into consumer spending and confidence and all that stuff. But

289
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 2: also the sequence of the shocks. You know, it's kind

290
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 2: of one thing after another and then those on the

291
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 2: edge get pushed off. The economy generally has had inflation, recession,

292
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 2: you know, weather events, tariffs, all this stuff happening. And basically,

293
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 2: what I think this tells us is that shocks can

294
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 2: come at any time, any place, not necessarily with a

295
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 2: nice six or seven good years between them. What is next?

296
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 2: Who knows? Is it the AI bubble bursting as we've

297
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 2: been hearing about for the last couple of months. Is

298
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 2: it another war, is it an oil shock, is it

299
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 2: another fire ripping through a tourist hotspot. Take your pick.

300
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 2: But the lesson I think the message is don't expect

301
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 2: that it won't come soon, or that it won't come tomorrow.

302
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 2: Brian Bridgley twenty eight minutes after five News Talks hed

303
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 2: b Now, apparently there's a thing going on with boyfriend's

304
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 2: girls not wanting to say women and girls not wanting

305
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 2: to let the internet know that they've got boyfriends. I

306
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 2: know it sounds weird, but apparently this is a sort

307
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 2: of a movement where young women. There was a Vogue

308
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 2: article that was published about how it's not cool to

309
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 2: have a boyfriend anymore. It was like so early two

310
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 2: thousand and early two thousands, and they're basically women are

311
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 2: erasing their relationships from social media because it's no longer

312
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 2: cool to have a boyfriend. I don't really understand why,

313
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 2: and trying to get Kenzy to explain it to me

314
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 2: earlier before the program. I think it's because men don't

315
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 2: treat women right and there's a problem with that in

316
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 2: the Internet's identifying it, so it's no longer a cool thing.

317
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 2: So the trend is changing. Coming up after News at

00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 2: be honest, didn't really until I was watching it. A

335
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 2: fantastic event and man it's hard to be in the

336
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 2: water expelling so much energy and then running on sand

337
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 2: that looked like the hardest part, to be honest. Anyway,

338

344
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 2: a bit of a reboot.

345
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 10: Yeah it is, and it's all about the timing here

346
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 10: because this comes hot on the heels of, of course,

347
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 10: last month's severe weather that thrashed the region and it's

348

350
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 10: twenty twenty five through to twenty thirty. Are the plans

351
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 10: setting the direction for how Southland will reduce risk and

352
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 10: recover from future emergencies. Emergency Management south And says this

353
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 10: plan reflects a modern hazard landscape, the reliance on technology now,

354
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 10: the aging population costs a living and also cross boundary

355
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 10: risks with Otaga and the West Coast.

356
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,240

00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 10: Mixed bag, high cloud, afternoon, fine spells, then a strong

358
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 10: southerly change this evening heavy thundery, shells and hail later

359
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,520

360

00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 11: Yeah, big one down here, big one for the social

364
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 11: calendars for many anyway. It is also for visitors who

365
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 11: flock into the city. We're expecting thousands in christ Church

366
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,280

367
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 11: for New Zealand Cup Day at Addington. I actually said

368
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 11: last week to someone that it was our version of

369
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 11: Melbourne Cup. I think that's blasphemy though for anyone who's

370
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 11: actually been to Flemington. But it is a very big

371
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 11: day for those here. We have thousands who pack into

372
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 11: Addington for the big day. Some action starts at midday.

373
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 11: There'll be a big race.

374
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 5: Of course.

375
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 11: At ten to six, we've got the likes of five

376
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 11: hundred kilos of Salm and Phillett seven hundred kilos of

377
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,320

378
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 11: manager Graham Jones says it is their biggest event and

379
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 11: they prepare.

380
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 8: All year for it.

381
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 11: Then we've got the show kicking off on Thursday. The

382
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 11: event will run through to Saturday for the second time,

383
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 11: which makes it easier for families to get along.

384
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 2: Oh great, how's the weather going to be for all

385
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 2: of this?

386
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 11: Well, we start the week with a high of twenty five,

387
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 11: a fine day, normally's gusty for a time a bit later.

388
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 11: Some showers on the forecast later in the week.

389
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 2: Brilliant, Thanks Claire, Max and Wellington Morning Max, good morning.

390
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 2: You've got public sector workers taking more sickly for how

391
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 2: much we're talking Yes, story in the post this morning.

392
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 12: This is the government's latest workplace wellness report, and I

393
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 12: would say it does nothing to allay certain stereo types

394
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 12: around public sector workers. On average, they're taking nearly two

395
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 12: more sick days a year than those in the private sector,

396
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 12: eight point four to an average of six point five.

397
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 12: We did look at sick leave last week. As z B,

398
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 12: workers in general are taking more than ever before, a

399
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 12: lot of employer business types telling us it could actually

400
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 12: be a good thing, as post COVID, we're being a

401
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 12: little more responsible with sickness. But the increase from the

402
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 12: public to private sector is interesting. The PSA UNI and

403
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 12: patting itself on the back, it says unions are stronger

404
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 12: at government agencies and departments, therefore workers feel more confident

405
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 12: at taking their sick leave a lot, also reporting that

406
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 12: their staff will work from home a lot when mildly

407
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 12: sick as well. In the public sector, the Ministry of

408
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 12: Social Development topping the rankings with an astonishing average of

409
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 12: fifteen days of sick leave taken on average a year.

410
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 2: Fifteen. Yeah, goodness me, there must be a bug going

411
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 2: around that particular office round as you're with the.

412
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 12: Me yeah, fine to start some cloud and showers later

413
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 12: strong northerlyas nineteenth.

414
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 2: How do you justify that?

415
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:04,479
Speaker 7: Max?

416
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 2: Thank you? Nevas are not neva good morning, fifteen secon

417
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 2: day the average, So imagine what some would must be

418
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 2: taking for the average to be fifteen?

419
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 13: Well, can I just say, is you well know last

420
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 13: week Yeah, I had the flu. I was so bad.

421
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: Listen to me.

422
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 7: I was so bad.

423
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 2: I nearly died.

424
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 7: I nearly died.

425
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 13: Well, that's where I came into the newser I was

426
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 13: so bad. I went, Oh, here comes Neva.

427
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 2: I can still hear it in your voice.

428
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 13: The huskiness I sound like ten men instead of My

429
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 13: voice has dropped even more. No, but I took a

430
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 13: couple of COVID tests because I thought, was this COVID?

431
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 7: Yeah?

432
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 13: And then I played that doctor Google game. I should

433
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 13: never have done that. I couldn't get out of bid

434
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 13: for six.

435
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 9: Days, you poor things, exactly, and.

436
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 13: You didn't even text me and bring around anything, flipping.

437
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 2: To fear I was away for half. Oh that's what

438
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 2: you were too anyway. But you're better than well, you're enough.

439
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 13: There was the first thick days that I've taken in oh,

440
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 13: I don't know about two years.

441
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 2: And not fifteen days, though even though you probably could

442
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 2: you could have used an extra couple.

443
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 7: Of days exactly.

444
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 13: I mean, I really should have been here today, but

445
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 13: I'm just so diligent.

446
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 2: Don't get too close, then, exactly why do I hit

447
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 2: the measles?

448
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 13: I thought I've got all the symptoms except that crucial

449
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 13: rash of the spots. I started getting sore eyes and

450
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 13: I thought, well that'll be it. I can't do my job.

451
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 13: How can I read the news if I can't see it.

452
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,320

Speaker 2: for your temperature to be skew with because it's so human.

00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 13: And I've just got to say this one thing is

Speaker 13: it was your husband's last week. So how Fanny's birthday?

467
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 5: The dog?

468
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 2: How do we know this? Because I remember, Okay, I'm

469
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 2: a bad person. You are god self righteous? Neither off

470
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 2: you go seventeen away from sex News Talks.

471

Speaker 1: EVB International Correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance, Peace of

472
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand Business got to sex.

473
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 2: News talks, they'd be We'll get to Nicole McKee on

474
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 2: meth in just a second. Well, she's not on myth obviously,

475
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 2: but on the meth issue, they are tackling the problem.

476
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 2: They've got money, they've got extra resources. We'll find out

477
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 2: what difference it'll make first though, Let's go to the UK.

478
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 2: So the Brits are helping Belgium. Belgium's had a problem

479
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 2: with the drones, are potentially the Russians incurring into the airspace.

480
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 2: Let's go to our UK correspondent, Gavin Gray. Gavin, good

481
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 2: morning on Iran.

482
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know we've been reporting on this, haven't we,

483
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 4: Because there's been drone incursions over several European airports, both

484
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 4: civilian airports but also of the military AirPods, and people

485
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 4: have said, well, is it Russia? Plenty of finger pointing.

486
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 4: Russia says it's not, and it's not quite known whether

487
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 4: we should be taking this seriously. Now we know that

488
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 4: Britain is giving both kit and manpower to Belgium in

489
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 4: order to try to stop these drone incursions into its airspace,

490
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 4: and I think all of a sudden we view this

491
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 4: through a very different mirror now, because it's all really

492
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 4: I think part of this concern that Russia is deliberately

493
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 4: flexing its muscles, making Europe feel awkward and testing the

494
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 4: resolve of the European nations. Now we've learned already the

495
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 4: German Defense Ministry is supporting Belgium with anti drone measures

496
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 4: after a request from Brussels. And we do know as

497
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 4: well that there was considerable cost for the canceling of

498
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 4: or diverting of dozens of flights at this particular airport.

499
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 4: And so we believe the RAF's two Force Protection Wing,

500
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 4: which was also deployed in an anti drone role to

501
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 4: the Paris Olympics last year, is now in action in Belgium.

502
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 2: What about this accidentally releasing prisoners, There's a couple more

503
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 2: or are these old ones that we're finding out details

504
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 2: about now?

505
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 4: Yes, they are old cases that we are only now

506
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 4: finding out about. We have had weeks now of this

507
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 4: of prisoners being accidentally released when either they should have

508
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 4: been staying in prison or they should have been deported.

509
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 4: Instead they've been freed. And now we learn that actually

510
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 4: there are two hundred and sixty two prisoners in England

511
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 4: and Wales mistakenly freed in the year to March.

512
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 7: Who were they.

513
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 4: Well, we're not talking petty thieves here. Some of them

514
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 4: are sexual assaults, sex offenders, others violent offenders, some for

515
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 4: fraud as well. Now we learn two of them are

516
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 4: still on the run after being mistakenly freed last year,

517
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 4: and according to reports, another two set free in in

518
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 4: June also remain missing. It's become a real political hot potato.

519
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 4: The Deputy Prime Minister is in charge of Justice and

520
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 4: the presence. He's saying he's put these stringent measures in place,

521
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 4: and there is disagreement over how many have actually managed

522
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 4: to be mistakenly released after those stringent measures were put

523
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 4: into places.

524
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 2: What a mess, total shamozzle. Thank you so much, Gavin

525
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 2: Gavin Gray are UK Europe correspondent.

526
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 7: It's twelve to six rail Bridge now.

527
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 2: The government having another crack at the meth problem. There'll

528
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 2: be an ad campaign, joint ops between Customs Defense, the GCSB,

529
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 2: tougher police powers border security. Meth use, as you know,

530
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 2: has doubled last year, heading nearly fifteen hundred kilos. Nicole McKees,

531
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 2: the Associate Minister of Justice with me this morning. Minister

532
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 2: good morning, Good morning Ryan. How much like do you

533
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 2: have a number? What impact will this have on the

534
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 2: supply of meth in New Zealand? Will we have ten

535
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 2: thousand fewer addicts as a result of the program you've

536
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 2: an bounced? Do we know?

537
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 14: Well, that's the thing, Ryan, is that we've known for

538
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 14: the last twenty years that we've got a methanphetamine problem

539
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 14: in New Zealand, but no one's actually been able to

540
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 14: coordinate to do anything about it. So there's been no

541
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 14: stats around whether or not we are having any effect

542
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 14: in the right areas, and it would seem that we're

543
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 14: not when we see that there's a doubling in the

544
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 14: consumption over the last year, when we see that there's

545
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 14: a two hundred and sixty six percent increase in siezures

546
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 14: at the border. So what we can do is actually

547
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 14: implement some of these ideas. So we've got the whole

548
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 14: justice sector, Ministers of come in looked at our portfolios.

549
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 14: What can we do. I can smash it in the

550
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 14: organized crime criminal proceeds area, for example, can we funnel

551
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 14: that money back into the community. Then how do we

552
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 14: assess it? What is it that we're actually going to

553
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 14: be looking for and I guess some of the areas

554
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 14: that we already know about. So we have this massive

555
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 14: increase in violence for examples. So this fits very nicely,

556
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 14: this plan of what we're doing into the government's target

557
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 14: four of twenty thousand fewer victims by the end of

558
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,479
Speaker 14: twenty twenty nine. So we look at the victims and

559
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 14: we know that there is a portion of people on meth.

560
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 14: They'refore times likely to commit violence. We know that those

561
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 14: that are on meth are also three points six times

562
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 14: more likely to be victims, so we can measure it

563
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 14: if we see that coming down.

564
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 2: I get all that, but as you have said, we

565
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 2: know that the problem's gotten way worse despite everything we

566
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 2: have been doing. So yeah, it is. And how radically

567
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 2: different is.

568
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 14: This Well, I think the coordinated approach not just going

569
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 14: off after them at the border, not just me going

570
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 14: after their funds of misery and giving it back to

571
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 14: the community, but also looking at how we can support

572
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 14: the community. So, as an example, eleven million dollars is

573
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 14: going into the Resilience to Organize Crime and Communities Less

574
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 14: initiative that helps the communities use their own community networks

575
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 14: to support them to get off mes, stay off mess.

576
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 2: We've also got what's eleven million is it?

577
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 14: So it's eleven eleven million dollars.

578
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 2: The shortage of rehab beds in this country is a

579
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 2: massive problem. Is eleven million dollars going to fix it?

580
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 14: Well, eleven million dollars is going into the rock Work

581
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 14: program to make sure that we can utilize what we

582
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 14: have in our communities. This is pulling everything together from

583
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 14: all angles instead of just attacking one. So that eleven

584
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 14: million dollars is not over four years until the end

585
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 14: of December twenty twenty six, helps us pull everything up,

586
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 14: identify where these community lead projects are. Twenty three million

587
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 14: dollars going into a police AML team working with our

588
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 14: international partners. Thirty million dollars also going into secondary school

589
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 14: based teams. I mean there's money going into all sorts

590
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 14: of areas so we can tackle it from all.

591
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 2: We will see, see mister, we will see whether that

592
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 2: bears fruit. Appreciate your time this morning, Nicole McKee, who's

Speaker 15: A fabulous dissertation she gave you about herself on this program.

621
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 15: So it's still nice to dominate a radio program with

622
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 15: your own personal problems.

623
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 2: For the stop, I didn't know. I just sort of

625
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,680

626
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 2: of times.

627
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 15: It's almost as though she wants her own program or

628
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 15: I'm surprised she hasn't got a podcast.

629
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 2: It's just the stuff stuff.

630
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 15: I'm currently thinking about by Neva.

631
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 2: Do you find it entertaining every time we see another

632
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 2: tweet from Winston Peters saying we you know, correcting?

633
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:49,360

639
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 2: should just stop tweeting. Actually National funded Gumboot Friday, and

640
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,280
