The news comes 54 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 3: as Ukraine's President Zelenski is due to travel to Saudi 55 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 3: Arabia next week for fresh talks to end the war. 56 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 5: I'm confident that the meeting will be productive. We in 57 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 5: Ukraine are committed to this.

Andrew Dickens 62 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: and one room. Make your property search simple, news. 63 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 3: Talks it'd be Obviously, I'm somewhat distracted the cricketers on 64 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 3: and India needs eleven runs from sixteen balls, and I've 65 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 3: been distracted all morning long. When I arrived just after three, 66 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 3: the game was finally balanced, but as often happens, a 67 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 3: few lusty bows and the pendulum swung towards India. But 68 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 3: I'd like to take this time right now to congratulate 69 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 3: New Zealand cricket. New Zealand cricketers had a great time 70 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 3: that recently we had the Golden generation. We had the 71 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 3: Trent Bolts and the Tim Soudis and the King Williamson's 72 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 3: and earlier the Ross Taylors. But over the past year 73 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 3: we've seen the emergence of a new crop, the will 74 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 3: of Rourks, the ever improving Matt Henry, and we're witnessing 75 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 3: the rise of a new global superstar in rash and Ravendra. 76 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 3: So we're all lose, and it looks like we're going 77 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 3: to lose this tournament and the Try series before it 78 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 3: we whitewashed. Is proof that New Zealand cricket is in 79 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 3: a healthy state and We've done this on the world stage, 80 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 3: and it's important to remind the powers that run cricket, 81 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 3: which is India, Australia and England, of the excitement factory 82 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 3: that New Zealand cricket is and please keep us in 83 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 3: your plans. Currently, yes, India still needs eleven runs and 84 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 3: fifteen balls to win. We've just had a wicket there. 85 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 3: They are now two forty one for six. You could 86 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 3: say it's finally balanced or not. The wind predictor I 87 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 3: have up sees that India is a ninety nine percent 88 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 3: chance to We're not give you any updates as they 89 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 3: come to a hand. It's eleven enough to five. So 90 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 3: I was away for the weekend and I came back 91 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 3: to a letter box that stuff full of newspapers. I 92 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 3: love a printed newspaper. I love its black and white appearance, 93 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 3: the way you can work your way through it the 94 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 3: way you want rather than because of an algorithm. I 95 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 3: like the ads, I like the public notices. I read 96 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 3: the death column every day. I just love papers, always 97 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 3: have and have always subscribed. So I got home last 98 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 3: night and I took a gander at the Sunday Star 99 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,799 Speaker 3: Times and the lead article was about the new citizen 100 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 3: arrest laws that were proposed last week. And then it 101 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 3: was Brian Tummocky's excitement at who he will be able 102 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 3: to target his flock at empowering them to arrest and 103 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 3: detain until the authorities arrive. Now I have to say 104 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 3: I'm not a fan of Brian Tommocky. I don't like 105 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 3: the fact that his interpretation of the Bible seems so narrow. 106 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 3: He appears to have only read one book of the Bible, 107 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 3: and that's the Viticus. I don't like the way his 108 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 3: beliefs are so centered around men. It's good for men. 109 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 3: I understand that. I understand the good he does for men. 110 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 3: At the same time, there are women in this world 111 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 3: as well. And I do not like the way that 112 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 3: a man whose income is predicated on tithing, then Florence, 113 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 3: has received charity with his fancy houses, fancy vehicles and 114 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 3: very expensive Imporio Amani t shirts. This is money that 115 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 3: has been given to you by poor people. Tomikey's foot 116 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 3: soldiers ran somewhat a muck in the streets of Wellington 117 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 3: over the WEEKI and gleefully, empowered by their perceived right 118 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 3: to police our streets and That's why the citizens arrest 119 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 3: rules as they are proposed worry me because they seem 120 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 3: to empower vigilanteism. The new rules are supposed to protect 121 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 3: citizens who suddenly find themselves in a situation where crimes 122 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 3: are being committed upon them. I'm talking about dairy owners, 123 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 3: but not on flocks of a church who are wanting 124 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 3: the streets looking for people they don't like. It's not 125 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 3: for people to go out on a Saturday and detain 126 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 3: people just because they don't like what they think, or 127 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 3: believe or do. And that was enough reason for me 128 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 3: over the weekend to ask Paul Goldsmith to tread lightly 129 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 3: on the idea before we have roving gangs of vigilantes 130 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 3: causing havoc Andrew Dickens, or we have audio of the 131 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 3: India wicket which just happened. Because they are now two 132 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 3: forty five for six, off we go straight up, straight up, 133 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 3: they will be caught in bold. 134 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 5: This gain is not over yet, folks, This. 135 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 3: Is not quite over. Oh and did we just rub 136 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 3: someone out? No we did not, but we got very close. 137 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 3: Currently India is two forty five for six and currently 138 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 3: they need just seven balls. They have twelve runs to 139 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 3: do it. Of course we could just strangle them and 140 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 3: just sneak it at the end, but that's doubtful. Now 141 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 3: we've got more hotels than we've ever had. They've been 142 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 3: building them left, right and center because of the tourism 143 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 3: boosts that we've had over the last twenty years. But 144 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 3: the problem with the hotels is sometimes that full and 145 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 3: sometimes we don't have enough. But too many times we 146 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 3: don't have enough. So what to do about this? We're 147 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 3: talking to Vic Beck, the Heart of the city chief 148 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 3: from Auckland. In a few moments time. It's five point fifty. 149 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: News and Views you trust to start your day.

It's now seventeen minutes after 153 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 3: five four runs needed from nine balls for India to win. 154 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 3: It's close. It certainly is close now. Walkland Hotels getting 155 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 3: a major cash hit from big events during the weekend 156 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 3: when Luke Comb's the Country Singer and sal Gp were 157 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 3: in town, hotels made it an extra five million dollars, 158 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 3: meaning that they filled an extra eight thousand rooms over 159 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 3: four days. So how did the CEO Heart of the 160 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 3: City CEO vivec joins in Hello, Viv, nice to talk, 161 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 3: Nice to see you. It just goes to show just 162 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 3: how much of an impact these big things have. 163 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 6: They really do. I mean, we see it, you know, 164 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 6: we sort with Pink last year, Coldplaying, Pearl Jam sol GP. 165 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 6: They make a huge impact. I mean, sid and small 166 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 6: events attract people, but when you get a really big 167 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 6: one in the hotel, the fall and the restaurants are 168 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 6: fall and the place is buzzing. That's just really what 169 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 6: you need to see. 170 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 3: And whose responsibility is it to keep these big events 171 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 3: coming to all of our cities. 172 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 6: Well, it depends what they are. I mean, you know, 173 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 6: where there are public benefits, I think there is a 174 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 6: rationale for public funding. But understand that's tight and sensitive, 175 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 6: so you know that's the question. Really the funding is 176 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 6: a challenge with some of the bigger events. But the 177 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 6: reality is, I think there's a strong recognition that events 178 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 6: have a big impact, and if there are public benefits, 179 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 6: I think there is a rationale have public money in it. 180 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 3: I think the America's Cup debate has colored those sorts 181 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,719 Speaker 3: of comments because that required sort of the sort of 182 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 3: money like two hundred million dollars from government and councils 183 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 3: to get the America's Cup here, because we have to 184 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 3: pay for their research costs as well as just hosting 185 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 3: the entire event. But most of the events that we're 186 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 3: talking about, the Cold Place as you say, and the 187 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 3: sal GP, they haven't been a big spend. 188 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,719 Speaker 6: Well a lot of them are privately thundered them to 189 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 6: pay for them. But if you look at the America's Cup, 190 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 6: and if you look at the Barcelona results that have 191 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 6: come out, you know, they say that's a two billion 192 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 6: dollar economic impact, maybe half a million unique visitors, nearly 193 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 6: one hundred and fifty super yachts. You know, if you 194 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 6: think about America's Cup here, we've got the infrastructure, so 195 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 6: it's the economic benefit, the trade, the tourism, and really 196 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 6: the sort of huge reputation we have in that marine 197 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 6: innovation and technology space. There's a lot of benefits that 198 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 6: come from a large event like that, particularly when you've 199 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,839 Speaker 6: got the infrastructure. So it is going to need a 200 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 6: private funding as well, but we're big supporters of getting 201 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 6: that back and having that in twenty twenty seven would 202 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,719 Speaker 6: be a massive boost. But it's true for everything we've 203 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 6: been through, it's. 204 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 3: True that our hotels are feast and famine because in 205 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 3: between these big events, we actually have low occupancy and 206 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 3: they're complaining about it. And meanwhile, the call came out 207 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 3: over the weekend for bed tex basically so that we've 208 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 3: got a fund that we can keep bringing events so 209 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 3: this to keep our hotels skill. Do you support a 210 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:02,959 Speaker 3: bed tax? 211 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, we do. I mean that's something that actually 212 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 6: the industry generally seems to be supporting, and there's been 213 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 6: a call for some time now and actually needs to 214 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,959 Speaker 6: get some urgency because one of the thoughts is that 215 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 6: that could be a way to contribute to the America's cup. 216 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 6: But time is of the essence, and it is something 217 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 6: that a number of groups have been asking for for 218 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 6: some time. And there are various ways you can attract money, 219 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 6: but you know, the real is this is one that 220 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 6: seems to have more favored than certainly the last accommodation tax, 221 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 6: which really was unfair on the hotel sector. But this 222 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 6: one is a small percentage on top of a room 223 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 6: rate that would contribute to attracting these large events and 224 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 6: destination marketing. 225 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 3: V thank you for your time today, and in fact, 226 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 3: I saw back the other day at an arts festival 227 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 3: events and that also was stimulating the economy. It is 228 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 3: five twenty India has just won and that's going away 229 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 3: into the fens off. What's the champions trophy for ay? 230 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 4: But win it after twelve years and it's another ICC Doliament. 231 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 3: For that way. Yeah. So India won by four wickets. 232 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,839 Speaker 3: There were six balls left. They scored two fifty four 233 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 3: for six. We scored two fifty one for seven. The 234 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 3: scores were pretty close. It was only an over in it. 235 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 3: Well done, New Zealand, you perform well. Hey, speaking of 236 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 3: a big event, wouldn't you love the ICC Champions Trophy 237 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 3: happening here in New Zealand? Imagine that it is five 238 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 3: twenty one. Orders is next on Sport, including What Just Happened? 239 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens, Bolfili Edition with one Roof to make your 240 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,119 Speaker 1: Property search simple, Youth Dog Zippy. 241 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 3: And Orderson Cricket Tragic. Welcome to the program. It's five 242 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 3: twenty three, So what it's time to be alive? Do 243 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 3: you need a hug? We're following a support group for 244 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 3: all the black Cap supporters because you're always at out 245 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 3: at the last hurdle. But you know the scores are 246 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 3: virtually similar. There was just six balls and we did 247 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 3: well but not well enough. 248 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 7: Yeah, India has paced that pretty well, I think, and 249 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 7: starting with Rochama with his seventy six off eighty three, 250 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 7: but they've got through the two fifty two required winning 251 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 7: with Forcus, I think, just what over to spare, give 252 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 7: or take, And yeah it was it was pretty convincing 253 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 7: display by India all up. 254 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 3: I think. 255 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 7: Well, Darrel Mitchell was kept New Zealand in the contest 256 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 7: with sixty three of one hundred and one balls. It 257 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 7: looked like it was a bit of a dropping from 258 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 7: the Sahara the pitch and it really it was. 259 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 3: I hate snowlineless. I hate Dubai's ground. Well, I love 260 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 3: the ground, I hate the wicked and I do not 261 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 3: like the games there. They're always a bit weird. 262 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 7: Well, the fact that the very fact that's controversying itself, 263 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 7: the fact that's in Dubai because India wouldn't play in Pakistan. 264 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 7: But that aside, they've done convincingly and New Zealand they 265 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,679 Speaker 7: put up a good fight and I was just over 266 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 7: the course of the turnament just a standout factor or 267 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 7: too really, but glean Phillips's catch of shulmun Go. I 268 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 7: mean everyone should go and watch that today. That's a blinder. 269 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 7: It's short cover, just one hander. Again, he's just just 270 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 7: a phenomenal fielder. 271 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 3: Remember we talked about the Golden Generation. I mentioned this 272 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 3: earlier in the program, the Golden Generation. Look at this, 273 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,959 Speaker 3: we've got Golden Generation two point zero. 274 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 7: There's some terrific players coming through and that has been 275 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 7: helped by Mitchell Santner's captaincy as well. There was the 276 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 7: other point I was going to mention today New Zealand 277 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 7: getting hit early with the pace attack and just brought 278 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 7: the left orthodox is on himself and ruts and Ravendra 279 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 7: and immediately and just just truck. He's got dim the flow. 280 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 7: So I thought, yeah, he's been he's been excellent in 281 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 7: that role so far. 282 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 3: I'm putting my hand up. We should host the next 283 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 3: ACC Champion trophy. Thank you very much. That would be 284 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 3: great for business for our hotels exactly. Let's get the rugby, 285 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 3: the rise of Australian and Ireland rugby. They caut up. 286 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that's that's great for the competition. Not 287 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 7: so good for the New Zealand teams. 288 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 3: Of course. 289 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 7: Of course, Higland is having to buy but and Crusaders 290 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 7: getting a win, but Chiefs and Hurricanes with the well 291 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 7: and then the Blues as well getting beaten by the Brumbies. 292 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 7: I think it's great for Pacifica rugby. That's what the competition. 293 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 3: Needs, Minor Pacifica in particular. Yeah, you know, so good. 294 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 3: And they're using North is great for the North Harbor Stadium, 295 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 3: you know, it's all. I'm all for that. 296 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: I think it's that's awesome. 297 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 3: So yeah, bit of a shot in the arm for 298 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 3: super Raping. Well done. And I got to go, oh bye, 299 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 3: so do I you're busy. You've got some news today. 300 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: The early edition Full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 301 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: by News Talks at B. 302 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 3: News Talks B. It's five twenty eight. We ended last 303 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 3: week with some hopeful noises from the health sector. I 304 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 3: even said, oh, some good news is finally. Minister Simmey 305 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 3: and Brown was praised by academics and commentators for us 306 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 3: increased funding for nurse practitioners, advanced training for nurses, and 307 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 3: increased training for doctors who come from overseas. He also 308 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 3: announced an increase in the number of doctors we train 309 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 3: here and then on Friday he announced the health plan 310 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 3: which sees Lester Levy replaced by a board, and five 311 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 3: targets were in all focusing on speedier health care and 312 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 3: outcomes and to true through the waiting list. The Minister 313 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 3: started talking about utilizing private facilities, and I think at 314 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 3: this point it's important to think about where we came 315 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 3: from and where we are. Labour tried to reduce the 316 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 3: DHBs from over twenty to forty and introduced a Milord 317 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 3: Health Authority, even though the right wing had been complaining 318 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 3: about the inefficiency of too many boards for years. When 319 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 3: a left wing government does it, it's branded as a 320 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 3: socialist's central government takeover. So we decided to reverse it, 321 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 3: and after fifty million dollars was spent pursuing the four megaboards, 322 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 3: we appear to be right back where we started, except 323 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 3: we are not right back where we started. Lester Levy 324 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 3: has been cutting the workforce, and the workforce complains that 325 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 3: the whole sector has been hollowed out. We have more 326 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 3: funding than ever, We're told that all the time, particularly 327 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 3: by the Prime Minister, and yet it did not keep 328 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 3: pace with inflation. And I'm talking about the last twenty years, 329 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 3: not just the last one, and to cope with the 330 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 3: waiting lists that are built up over the decades. Patients 331 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 3: are now being directed to the private system. The appshot 332 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 3: is that the public system is slowly withering, very slowly though, 333 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 3: and it's a good time to be a shareholder and 334 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 3: a private health facility because you're getting the overflow. We 335 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 3: seem to be heading towards a two tier health system, 336 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 3: one for those with money and one for those without. 337 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 3: And increasingly, if you don't have health insurance, you're playing 338 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 3: a waiting game about who will see you first, Sir 339 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 3: Peter or the surgeon. They found an unexploded bomb underserneath 340 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 3: the train station in Paris, so yeah, we'll talk about 341 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 3: this at a moment.

The score is pretty equal, 349 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 3: but they had some time. They ran it well. How 350 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 3: did a text here from roy on ninety two ninety 351 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 3: two A small charge byes just my opinion, not that 352 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 3: it matters, but National is still off track with that 353 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 3: cricket not being on TV. For everyone have a good day, 354 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 3: we will have a good day, and I thank you Roy. 355 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,919 Speaker 3: It's not the government's responsibility to make sure that we 356 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 3: have sport on our TV, but that is the call 357 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 3: of Sky Sport, and I went back to check to 358 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 3: see whether it was in fact on free to wear. 359 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 3: Remember Sky actually does some stuff free to wear on 360 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,439 Speaker 3: Sky Open. And when they do that, they had the 361 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 3: opportunity to stick in the ads. They have the opportunity 362 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,199 Speaker 3: to actually delay the coverage and so you know, it 363 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 3: takes a bit longer, but they make the money. What 364 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 3: they had on instead was infomercials. I don't know how 365 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 3: many people watch infomercials on Sky Open. And reminding you 366 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 3: that Sky Open is available to everybody. It took over 367 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 3: the prime channel so you can pick it up, don't 368 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 3: need to have the Sky thing. And the reason for 369 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 3: Sky Opened is to show you how good the sports 370 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 3: coverage is and perhaps convince you to make the step 371 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 3: over into the subscription PATV so you could ask whether 372 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 3: it was a good move by Sky TV not to 373 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 3: make this game available on Sky Open, delayed and with 374 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 3: interruptions by commercials. I would say that would be a 375 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 3: poor call. Then again, it was an all night affair 376 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 3: and also we lost Roy. We lost. But I see 377 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 3: what you're saying. It's twenty two to six.

All the trains were 503 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 13: backing up and it's been forty eight hours, a very 504 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 13: very difficult travel on Eurostar. Originally the first trains to 505 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 13: get back to normal andrew with the local services, then 506 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,679 Speaker 13: the high speed services and Eurostar. So today looking at 507 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 13: the timetable, it's running all okay according to schedule, but 508 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 13: many people, i think, really struggling to get where they 509 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 13: needed to go as the flights filled up very very quickly, 510 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,479 Speaker 13: as soon as people realized the trains were not going 511 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 13: to happen. 512 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 3: It's amazing this hangover from World War Two. There's a 513 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 3: huge wasteland area just out of Paris which is basically 514 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,199 Speaker 3: unusable because of so much to munition and there, and 515 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 3: it always just it amazes me. Meanwhile, Ancient History, they 516 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 3: found a prototype to Stone Hinge in the UK. 517 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 13: Yes, unbelievable. They had actually discovered it and also had 518 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 13: begun doing an archaeological dig on this site in the 519 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 13: nineteen eighties. However, on reanalyzing what they found and a 520 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 13: subsequent dig at this site, which is near Dorchester in Dorset, 521 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 13: to the south and west of London. They discovered that 522 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 13: actually the Ring, as it is a large circular stone 523 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 13: ring enclosure, which has sadly degraded over the last three 524 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 13: two hundred years, is two centuries older than had previously 525 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 13: been thought. Why is that important, Well, it's important because 526 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 13: that means it's actually older than Stonehenge, and that of 527 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 13: course means that scientists trying to make sense of all 528 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,959 Speaker 13: this believe it was a prototype for building Stonehenge, the 529 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 13: famous Stone Monument, the circular monument in Wiltshire to the 530 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 13: west of London, which of course has staggered so many people. 531 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 13: How on earth they got the rocks there, how they 532 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 13: stacked the rocks on one another, All these things still unknown, 533 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 13: but the idea that they've done something similar for a 534 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 13: century earlier is just extraordinary. So, as you said, amazing, 535 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,120 Speaker 13: how all this time on we're still finding things up 536 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 13: about the Neolithic period. 537 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 3: I thank you, Gavin Gray. It is now eleven to 538 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 3: six dulous. The government's proposing changes to the Public Work 539 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 3: Sect to speed up how it acquires private land. So 540 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 3: if your land needs to be acquired, there is a 541 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 3: new premium payment scheme which would be introduced rewarding landowners 542 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 3: who said or quickly and at the end of itdual 543 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 3: the Environment Court will no longer hear objictions that will 544 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 3: go to the Minister and others in Council. Infrastructure of 545 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 3: New zeal And Policy Director Michelle mccormackare's working up for 546 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 3: us this morning. Hello, Michelle, Good morning injury. Is this 547 00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 3: everything you want? 548 00:27:59,040 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 11: Oh? 549 00:27:59,359 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 14: Pretty much? 550 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 4: So. 551 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 14: I think it's a big step in the right direction. 552 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 14: It's pretty ancient legislation, the Public Works Act, and it's 553 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 14: good to see a fresh look at it and looking 554 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,679 Speaker 14: how we can improve the process and make sure that 555 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 14: we are getting the strategic infrastructure faster that we need. 556 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 3: Do we have some constructive, some concrete proposals that are 557 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:22,360 Speaker 3: on the table that will benefit from this, definitely. 558 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 14: Yeah, the ones that are in the Fast Track Approvals 559 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 14: Act now, so that's our Roads of National significance and 560 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 14: some of the other big projects that are actually public 561 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 14: infrastructure works will be lined up too further down the 562 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 14: track and that will really shave us off some time 563 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 14: and make the whole process a lot quicker, so construction 564 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 14: can get underway and then we end up with the 565 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 14: finished products sooner. 566 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 5: Yeah. 567 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 3: The only example I remember in my lifetime was in 568 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 3: fact taking all the land beside the Pakranger Highway to 569 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 3: make the busway that goes out towards Botany where all 570 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 3: those houses just disappeared, they were just taken. Would this 571 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 3: have made that process faster and easier? 572 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 14: I yes, it would, And it's good to see that 573 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 14: there is an incentive payment now being offered where people 574 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 14: are affected. When a project like that needs to acquire land, 575 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 14: they actually have the option to sell voluntarily early without 576 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 14: actually being compulsory acquired, and they'll get that incentive payment 577 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 14: which is up to fifteen per cent of leaned value. 578 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 3: Of course they're going to take away the Environment Court 579 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 3: as a court of appeal, which we all know that 580 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 3: that can take for rev and cost of fortune. 581 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 14: Yeah, I think that's a big improvement. We know how 582 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 14: overloaded the Environment Court is and I think having a 583 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 14: much streamlined process to get to that final decision is 584 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 14: actually better for everyone. It's better for the project, and 585 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 14: it's better for the people affected too because they'll get 586 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 14: an outcome sooner. 587 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,479 Speaker 3: It effects of if it's going to positively affect all 588 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 3: the big infrastructure projects, why don't we get rid of 589 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 3: the Environment Caught altogether. 590 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 14: I think we still need the Environment Court for the 591 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 14: wider rama processes, and there's a number of other approval 592 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 14: process that they're involved in as well. But I think 593 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 14: in this case, where these projects have been through that 594 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 14: consenting approval process or in designation and in the last 595 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 14: process is acquiring the land, I think it makes sense 596 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 14: to have a streamline process with ministerial approval. 597 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 3: And is this all the great idea until we get 598 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 3: one bad decision or a perceived allegation of bias from 599 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 3: a minister who is now the final court of appeal. 600 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 14: Yeah, there is the alternative of having a judicial review 601 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 14: if we know that someone does think that it has 602 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 14: been a particularly bad decision. But I think given that 603 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 14: the project itself has been tested well and had consenting 604 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 14: approval given, then it is pretty much streamlined now, so 605 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 14: you won't get one land owner holding out a whole 606 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 14: project and costing millions and millions of dollars to the 607 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 14: rest of the community. 608 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 3: Well, Michelle, have yourself a great work in a great 609 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 3: week at work, being productive and creating infrastructure, and I 610 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 3: thank you so much a Michelle McCall, because the Infrastructure 611 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 3: New Zealand Policy Director, and it's coming up seven minutes 612 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 3: to six News Talks aret. 613 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: Be the first word on the News of the Day 614 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: Early edition with Andrew Dickens and one roof Make Your 615 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: Property Search Simple News Talks It. 616 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 3: Be now it is our five minutes to six.

You 646 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 3: remember John Key years. 647 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 15: Ago used to go what you do is, of course, 648 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 15: you just go look, I'll give you a little bit 649 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 15: extra and we'll get just move this thing along. So 650 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 15: I think all they're doing is officially making what has 651 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 15: happened anyway. But then don't you open up the if 652 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 15: it's fifteen percent?

And that's exactly schedulizing. I think the 656 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 3: lack of the Environment Court is probably a good thing anyway. 657 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 3: Chris Bushop is going to be doing this and we'll 658 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 3: get some timeline because very big week for the government 659 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 3: with the Investment Conference coming up on Thursday and Friday. 660 00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 3: Is a survey out this morning. 661 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 15: That we'll look at as well, that says, apparently there's 662 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 15: a lot of people and this is an Australasia as 663 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 15: opposed to the world in Australasia. That yes, we're interested 664 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 15: in investment. 665 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 3: You see it said there's a glow about New Zealand, 666 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 3: and that report is there's a glow about New Zealand. 667 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 15: I'm not spot I'm not spotted.
