This fast track business, 7 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 2: it's supposed to make stuff happen quickly in New Zealand. 8 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 2: It's supposed to make us rich quicker, I suppose when 9 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 2: it comes to the likes of mining. But it's just 10 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 2: had a punch in the guts self imposed from the government. 11 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 2: They're making changes. We're going to speak to strata minerals 12 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,160 Speaker 2: now they submitted on this bill. What will it mean 13 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 2: for big projects that way, we're hoping to kick off 14 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 2: quick smart in New Zealand. Lester Levy, Commissioner at Health 15 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 2: New Zealand. He is heading back on those doctors' unions 16 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 2: we spoke about on Friday who took a sideswipe at him. 17 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 2: Gavin Gray's in the UK. The Islamic state there is 18 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 2: claiming responsibility for an attack. It is seven after five 19 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 2: the agenda Monday, the twenty sixth of August, Russia and 20 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 2: Ukraine have each swapped one hundred and fifteen prisoners of war. 21 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 2: The swap marked Ukraine's independence day, the third since Russia's invasion. 22 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 2: It was difficult for two years, We changed locations twice, 23 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 2: we had no information. When the Russians summoned us to talk, 24 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 2: they blamed everything on Ukraine. So the prisoner swap happens. 25 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 2: And then what does Russia do well? It ramps up 26 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 2: its attacks, launching attacks in northern, southern and eastern Ukraine. 27 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 2: Local authorities say at least four people have been killed. Meanwhile, 28 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,839 Speaker 2: Reuters have said that one of their journalists in eastern 29 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 2: Ukraine is missing after attack on a hotel there. In 30 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 2: other news, new rules for people living in emergency housing Today, 31 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 2: those applying for more than emergency housing will need to 32 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 2: work with support services, attend courses, and look for private 33 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 2: housing options. Repeatedly, failing to meet the new requirements could 34 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 2: see people barred from getting an emergency housing aren't for 35 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 2: thirteen weeks and to the Pacific Island Leader's Forum which 36 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 2: kicks off today and Tonga Foreign Minister Winston Peters is 37 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 2: going also our Minister for Pacific people.

Robert Patman, who's our university International 40 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 2: relations professor otago He says that they may well use 41 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 2: the forum to put the feelers out on potentially joining 42 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: ORCUS Pillar two. 43 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 3: New Zealand will be taking soundings indirectly about how Pacific 44 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 3: Island states might feel if New Zealand was to take 45 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 3: the step to join Pillar two of UCAS. 46 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 1: News and Views you trust to start your day. It's 47 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's 48 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: furniture Beds and a flying Store. News talk said, Bee, how. 49 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 2: Do you feel about that? Do you mind us getting 50 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 2: really cozy with these guys even though you're taking money 51 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 2: from these guys? It is an awkward conversation to be have. 52 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 2: Actually interesting report this morning in the Washington Post. This 53 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 2: is about Australia because if you think about it, the 54 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 2: Pacific Theater as it was referred to during World War II, 55 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 2: you've got Us on one side, China on the other, 56 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 2: and you've got conveniently this giant, big land mass just 57 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 2: to the bottom on the left in Australia, which the 58 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 2: Americans are wanting to take advantage of so they have 59 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 2: started expanding. This is in the northern military bases in Australia. 60 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 2: They've started expanding the calling it the fifty first State 61 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 2: of Australia, expanding those military bases, the runways to fit 62 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 2: the B fifty two bombers. They've got new massive fuel 63 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 2: depots that are going up. They've got earth covered bunkers 64 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 2: for their munitions. This is all happening in Australia right 65 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 2: now in anticipation of well what could happen. I suppose 66 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: in the future RAF Base Tindall and near Darwin on 67 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 2: the outskirts of Catherine. For those who have been to Catherine, 68 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,839 Speaker 2: you know it's a population in ten thousand. It could 69 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 2: be quite an important strategic part of Australia very soon. 70 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 2: It's just gone ten minutes after Bridge. Also this morning, 71 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 2: interesting response from Lester Levy and the Herald. This is 72 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 2: old mate Lester who's been brought in to sort out 73 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 2: the absolute cluster that is health New Zealand. So last 74 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 2: week you remember we told you about this editorial in 75 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 2: the New Zealand Medical Journal. Actually wasn't an editorial, they 76 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 2: called it analysis anyway, in this analysis, the doctors' unions 77 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 2: said Health wasn't given enough money. Much of the money 78 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,679 Speaker 2: they are given goes to capital for buildings, et cetera, 79 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 2: not to the front line. They said, any further cuts 80 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 2: to health, we need more money, otherwise we'll be cutting 81 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 2: into the front line anyway. Lester Levy has written for 82 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 2: The Herald today. I'm encourage you to go and read. 83 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 2: It's on page fifteen. He says it is important to 84 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 2: note capital funding is derived from the separate total Health 85 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 2: Capital envelope, which has spread over several years for multi 86 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 2: year large projects, and therefore is separate funding for the 87 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 2: remediation of the Holidays Act liability as well. The analysis 88 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 2: in the journal, the one that I've described, represents these 89 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 2: two significant categories of expenditure completely incorrectly, leading to their 90 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 2: conclusion that the funding increase for this year was zero 91 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 2: point four percent, or just ninety three million dollars, which 92 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 2: is simply so wrong as to be meaningless. He goes 93 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 2: on to say, and I'll make one more point from him. 94 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 2: The editorial has a strong emphasis on the requirement for 95 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 2: more funding for a health system. Happily, Health New Zealand 96 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 2: has received more funding this year as part of confirmed 97 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 2: three year funding uplifts. There is more funding for health 98 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 2: significantly more so I guess the editorial is implying there 99 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 2: should be even more funding on top of this. This 100 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 2: would be a very questionable approach. Is the relationship between 101 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 2: increased health care spend and the level of value derived 102 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 2: has to be subject to careful examination with no direct 103 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 2: or consistent correlation so far found. And you and I 104 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 2: don't need to read that in the Herald today. We 105 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 2: just need to look at our taxes and then we 106 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 2: need to go to our local A and E. It 107 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 2: is twelve after five. 108 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth 109 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Spith City, New 110 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: Zealand's furniture Beds had a playing store news Talk said. 111 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 2: Be fourteen after five. Great to have your news talk, 112 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 2: said b this morning for just joining us. The tit 113 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 2: for tat between Israel and Hezbolla is really ramping up overnight. 114 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 2: There have been Israel has sent one hundred jets to 115 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 2: hit Lebanon in the preemptive strikes. That's what they're calling them, 116 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 2: pre emptive strikes. Have a listen now. Both sides say 117 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 2: they don't want war. This doesn't really sound like it. 118 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 2: They don't want war, do they, But they are calling 119 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 2: them preempt for strikes and they are trying to avoid 120 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 2: at least on the face of it, civilian casualties, including 121 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 2: his Bula have been going for drone launch pads, specifically 122 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 2: inside IDF bases apparently. So what does this mean. Let's 123 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 2: go to doctor Leon Goldsmith, the Ottagi University Middle East expert. 124 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 2: Doctor Leon. Good morning, Good morning Roan, thanks for being 125 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 2: with me. What are you reading into this? Is this 126 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 2: the beginning of something or is this just a bit 127 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 2: of a saber rattling. 128 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 4: I think this is probably what reasonably predictable based on 129 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 4: what happened after the assassinations of Fort Shako, Hasbella and 130 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 4: Hassan Asula. The leader of Habela has basically promised that 131 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 4: there would be some kind of retaliation, but they were 132 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 4: waiting for the Gaza ceasefire hostage talks to see if 133 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 4: they could be successful, because if they could have got 134 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 4: those through under severe US pressure, that would be a 135 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 4: win for the whole resistance access But of course on 136 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 4: the other side, they were under severe pressure to do something. 137 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 4: So it's been forteen forty days since those assassinations, and 138 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 4: that's why they called this operation are Beane, which an 139 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 4: Arabic means forty days. But it is still a limited tad. 140 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 4: As you mentioned, it's not the big major s of 141 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 4: escalation that we're concerned about. 142 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 2: Do you think then, that the ongoing talks in Doha 143 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 2: and elsewhere are actually working as a contagor for a 144 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 2: bigger attack? 145 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 4: Well, I think what they were hoping was that because 146 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 4: the US is putting extreme pressure on all sides to 147 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 4: reach some kind of a ceasefire agreement now because of 148 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 4: the collector regional stability, that this is an opportunity for 149 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 4: Hamas to basically survive within Gaza, which of course the 150 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 4: Israelis don't want to see this, but this has been 151 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 4: what the reason why we have seen a retaliation until now. 152 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 2: Yes, what happens as we lead up to the US election, 153 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 2: because you've got a president, a potential president in Harris, 154 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 2: who is walking a tight rope between some very young 155 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 2: voters who are very pro Gazen in Palestine and a 156 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 2: more warhung no, I don't want to say war hungry, 157 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 2: but a more strident Biden. 158 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's definitely a factor. I'm not so 159 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 4: much expert on the US politics, But I think what 160 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 4: we would see is that whatever Israel wants to achieve, 161 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 4: and I think they want to Vornessanier has said overnight 162 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 4: that he wants to change the strategic situation on the 163 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 4: northern border, and that basically means reducing his Bulla's capacity 164 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 4: to pose a threat to Israel. So I think he 165 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 4: probably wants to do that. Well, Biden's still there. I 166 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 4: think he's been trying to provoke his brother and the 167 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 4: Iranians into a direct confrontation. I think that's what's been 168 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 4: happening here.

How do you actually get 206 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 2: power to your have? I mean we talk a lot 207 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 2: about the energy crisis and the energy crunch at the moment, 208 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 2: but how do you actually get power to your houses 209 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 2: with power lines? 210 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 4: Right? 211 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 2: And remember you will remember this just weeks ago when 212 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 2: that huge pylon fell over because someone got a bit 213 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 2: loosey goosey with the nuts and it fell over, and 214 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 2: that now they're looking actually how much would it cost 215 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 2: to replace all this stuff? So if you want to 216 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 2: get power, I want to get electricity to Northland or 217 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 2: they use Coramandel as an example. If someone's going to 218 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 2: unscrew some bolts or whatever, blow me down half a 219 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 2: billion dollars to line Coromandel half a billion dollars And 220 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 2: do you know how much that is per connection? Because 221 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 2: about twenty five thousand people living in coramandl with connections 222 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 2: and Corimandel. That's twenty thousand dollars. Have you got twenty 223 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 2: thousand dollars Corimandeal residents? No, you don't. But the question 224 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 2: is do you just forget about that? And everyone does 225 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 2: solar because it would actually be cheaper. They reckon per 226 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 2: household to do solar. Nine nine two is a number 227 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 2: of text. Andrew Awson's here was sport and no cheer. 228 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, well I'm just I'm just stretching out here on 229 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 5: just testing with my calf, muscle, etc. 230 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 6: But yeah, I'm sure there'll be one at some juncture. 231 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:14,559 Speaker 2: Awkward set up here, isn't it. 232 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 5: Well, it's just the Royal Hosking Studio here needs needs, 233 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 5: you know, a sweet. 234 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, what are we talking about? America's Cup? The 235 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 2: preliminary regatta, So that's the one we don't care so 236 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 2: much about. 237 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 6: Not so much. 238 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 5: No, I think it seems to be jostling positions here, 239 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,199 Speaker 5: just seeing where they're at in the early stages of 240 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 5: preliminary regatta. But I mean Team New Zealand has won it. 241 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 5: But I think as we've seen in past America's Cups, 242 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 5: the whole scenario. Teams can hold something back, and there's 243 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 5: some thought that that might be the. 244 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 6: Case early on. 245 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 5: But it'll be more interesting probably once to get to 246 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 5: the Challenges Series, which I think is four days time 247 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 5: or so, when they'll get underway, A team's going to 248 00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 5: get to be part of that for at least the 249 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 5: first junk chair. But yeah, that'll be a true test 250 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 5: once these other syndicates. 251 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 6: You know, to put their money on the water. 252 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 2: Amazing quads on them. Those they get them out of 253 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 2: the cycling teams and they throw them on the boat 254 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 2: and then there you go. There's a whole new sport 255 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 2: for you. 256 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 5: It's it is incredible to watch. Yeah, yeah, that's just 257 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 5: the technology involved. And I mean the rules change every time, 258 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 5: don't they French a different addition. But yeah, I've thought 259 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 5: that was an incredible adjustment if you like adaptation, just. 260 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 6: Because I mean, it's more strengthen the leagues, isn't it. 261 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 6: In the ending in. 262 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 2: The past, any longer you standing up in the studio, 263 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 2: you could probably get on there.

Is that right? 505 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 11: Yes, that's what we believe to be the latest. And 506 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 11: this was from a southern resort in the city of 507 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 11: nim in France. And at that point two cars appear 508 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,479 Speaker 11: to have been parked outside a synagogue. They were set alight, 509 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 11: it's alleged by the man that police believe they now 510 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 11: have shot and injured. But also within those vehicles were 511 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 11: hidden a gas canister, which of course exploded. I think 512 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,479 Speaker 11: everyone is incredibly amazed, frankly, that there weren't any deaths. 513 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 6: The parent the. 514 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,959 Speaker 11: Synagogue had got people inside, and it was very near 515 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 11: where the explosion went off. The suspect, as you said, 516 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,919 Speaker 11: reportedly carrying a Palestinian flag, then set far for several 517 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 11: entrance doors of the synagogue, no doubt in the hope 518 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 11: of preventing anyone from getting out. In January twenty twenty four, 519 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 11: report by the Council of Jewish Institutions in France said 520 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 11: there was a threefold increase in anti's anti Semitic attacks 521 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 11: in France between twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three. 522 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 2: Gavin Gray are UK correspondent, Thanks for your time. Just 523 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 2: gone eleven to six l and Bridge Rich fast Track Backtrack. 524 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 2: The ministerial sign off powers have been ditched in an 525 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 2: amendment to the Fast Track Approvals Bill. That means Old 526 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 2: Shane Jones will have his wings clipped. 527 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 5: Well, there's a difference between a campaign politician and a 528 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 5: member of cabinet, and collective responsibility means that. 529 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 6: I'm adopting the Shakespearean approach. All's well, that ends well. 530 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 2: Almost four hundred projects have been applied to be listed 531 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 2: in the bill, which is set to be passed before 532 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 2: the end of the year after going through the Environment 533 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 2: Select Committee. Ten percent of them get this, just ten 534 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 2: percent are made up of mining and quarry projects, despite 535 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 2: all of the bluster that you heard from the opposition 536 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 2: to this, and actually the mining portion just five percent. 537 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 2: Most of it housing developments, stuff like that. Josie vital 538 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 2: Is with Straterra. They are funded at Straterra Minerals. They 539 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 2: are funded by the mining sector and we're keen to 540 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,959 Speaker 2: hear their views this morning. Josie, good morning, good morning, 541 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 2: Thank you for being with me. Is this going to 542 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 2: change whether because I know that you proposed submitted on 543 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 2: the bill and you were quite a proponent of it, 544 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 2: will it change your support for the bill? Is it 545 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 2: going to slow the whole process down in your view? 546 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 12: No, I don't think it will slow it down. Well, 547 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 12: it can't be called fast track and its fast. I 548 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 12: am worried that there's some pressure to water things down 549 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 12: and we can't go back to where we are now 550 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 12: because you can't get things done in this country. So 551 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 12: I understand why they've changed the ministerial decision making because 552 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 12: there was a lot of pressure on. But it does 553 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 12: put a lot of emphasis on the expert panels to 554 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 12: be truly expert and not to be beside the sort 555 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 12: of panels we already go up against where their consideration 556 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 12: is entirely environmental and there's no considerations for economic, social 557 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 12: and cultural impacts. You know, we want a more holistic view. 558 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 12: So if this is the watering down, let that be 559 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 12: the end of it. And you know then the selectimity 560 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 12: report back on the eighteenth of October, and let's get 561 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 12: this bill through before the end of the year so 562 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 12: we can get some things done. 563 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, but now they've given ance, you know that they're 564 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 2: going to take a mile, aren't they In terms of 565 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 2: who's on these committees, as you say, who do they represent? 566 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 2: What interest do they represent? They're going to have some 567 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 2: environmentalists on there, They're going to have some representatives from EWE, 568 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 2: They're going to have some in certain circumstances. I mean, 569 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 2: it doesn't sound like the quick drive through eating experience 570 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 2: that I was describing earlier. 571 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 12: Yes, well, that's where the pressure is going to be. 572 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 12: That for us, the heart of the bill is the 573 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 12: one stop shop, which will make things a lot faster. 574 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 12: So at the moment, with a projects, you have to 575 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 12: go and knock on every door of government, and some 576 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 12: are very slow, and some are belligerent, and some don't 577 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 12: even agree with mining. So if that can come into 578 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 12: a one stop shop where you can get your decision 579 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 12: made quickly, that's the goal for us. I never understood 580 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 12: the resistance to ministers making decisions, because ministers make decisions 581 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 12: every day, and we wrote them in to do that, 582 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 12: but I can see that there was significant pressure and 583 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 12: as you say, it's interesting, the pressure was on things 584 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 12: like mining, which is five percent of the projects that 585 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 12: without mining and quarry and you'll have no houses and 586 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 12: no infrastructure. So it is a holistic view. 587 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 2: It is indeed, Josie, thanks so much for your time 588 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 2: and your view on that. That's Josie Vidal from strat Terra. 589 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 2: She's the mining chief executive there at Straterra Minerals. It 590 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 2: has just gone seven away from six. Ryan Bridge emailed 591 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 2: last night Bathurst Resources because they've got the mine and 592 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 2: stopped and they've got another twenty years of coal that 593 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 2: they can get out of it. They run the stocked 594 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 2: in mind and they wanted to use this fast track bill. 595 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 2: He's in Australia the boss at the moment. But I 596 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 2: just said, what do you think is this going to 597 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 2: slow it all down? Is this going to be a 598 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 2: big deal? He said, basically, hopefully the changes won't take 599 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 2: away from the main point, which is exactly what Josie 600 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 2: has just said. It is the one stop shop, the 601 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 2: streamlined system to get their resources and consents so they 602 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 2: can get digging for and clearly we need energy in 603 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 2: New Zealand. Right now, don't we are seven away from 604 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 2: six on. 605 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: Your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with Ryan 606 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and a 607 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: playing store News Talk. 608 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 2: ZID be just gone sixes four minutes away from six. 609 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 2: I should say the fast track backtrack, Mike's here, Hey Mike. 610 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 2: I just think who cares? Let them? So what if 611 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 2: there's a little bit of corruption you don't know whenever. 612 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 13: I don't think you should say just for the bsa sake. 613 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 2: I don't care that. 614 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 13: We don't care about corruption belt.

Yeah, 618 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 13: so the expert panel would go, well, tell you what, minister, 619 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 13: we should do this, and then the minister would have gone, yep, 620 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 13: I agree, enough we go. 621 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 2: But they had the power to decline that advice.
