The Santa Fe County Sheriff of 35 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 2: New Mexico sies is an active investigation, but there's no 36 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 2: reason to believe foul play was a fector. 37 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,839 Speaker 4: These are unusual circumstances for two people and their family 38 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 4: dog to be found dead in their home at the 39 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 4: same time.

I have some theories about Gene Hackman. I'll tell 43 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 2: those later in the program. As a Kia starmer is 44 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 2: preparing to meet with President Trump in the White House, 45 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 2: uk US Starmer's meeting comes a day before President Vladimir 46 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 2: Zelenski will visit the Oval Office design what Trump describes 47 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 2: as a very big agreement on sharing Ukraine's mineral resources. 48 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 6: I'm here to meet another close friend of the United Kingdom, 49 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 6: President Trump, and my message is really simple. So there 50 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 6: is no more important relationship for the United Kingdom in 51 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 6: defends and security, and trade, in Turkey and finance. We 52 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 6: want to strike a new partnership. We share the view 53 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 6: that our best stays lie ahead. 54 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Russian and US delegates met in Istanbul for the 55 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 2: first in a series of meetings aiming to remove irritance 56 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 2: from their relationship. Putin says the talks inspire hope that 57 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 2: the two countries can find common ground on issues including 58 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 2: the war in Ukraine. And Finally, Andrew Tate and brother 59 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 2: Tristan have left Romania on a private jit bound for 60 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 2: the United States. The controversial brothers were arrested in Romania 61 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 2: three years ago and face trial on allegations of rape, 62 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 2: traffically miners, and money laundering, all of which they deny. 63 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 7: Or we know that in the last few weeks that 64 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 7: the Trump administration has been bullying Romania to return Andrew 65 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 7: Tate and his brother Tristan's passport and to allow them 66 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 7: to travel to the US. Many commentators thought that that 67 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 7: would just never happen because it was just ser absurd, 68 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 7: But it has happened. The reports are that this morning 69 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 7: that the Dates left on a private jet from Romania 70 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 7: to the US, where they'll be landing. 71 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 2: Shortly and the time is now two and a half 72 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 2: to five. 73 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition Andrew Dickens 74 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: and One Roof Make your Property Search Simple News Talk 75 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: sid Be. 76 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 2: It's Friday, so I want to tell you a story. 77 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 2: I own an electric MG. It was twenty twenty four's 78 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 2: car of the Year. It goes like a school, it 79 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 2: says cheap as chips. I quite like my car. Last 80 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 2: weekend I took it to a batch in the Corrimandel. 81 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 2: Coming back from the beach after a lovely swim, I 82 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 2: hit the curb. It eruptured my side wall and the 83 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 2: tire went flat. So I thought, no problem, I'll get 84 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 2: the spare tire. Opened up the boot to get the 85 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 2: spare tire. No spared tire. Electric cars don't have one, 86 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 2: makes more room for batteries and in fact, I've learned 87 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 2: since the many new cars only have a tire sealant option, 88 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 2: no spare tire. Now, the tire sealant doesn't work if 89 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 2: your side walls are mounted. So my first point is 90 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 2: why don't modern cars have a spare tire, particularly in 91 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 2: New Zealand because we're a rough, tough, isolated country. You 92 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 2: need a spared tire. God knows where you're going to 93 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 2: have a tire go down on you and you've got 94 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 2: to get out somehow. You need a spare tire. Why 95 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 2: don't they have them? Anyway? So I phoned the MG 96 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 2: Roadside Service. They could send a tow truck, pick up 97 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 2: the car, tie it back to the nearest town, which 98 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 2: by the way, was forty minutes away. But it was Sunday, 99 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 2: so it couldn't happen till Monday, and I needed to 100 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 2: get back to work to do early edition. So hmm hmm, okay, 101 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:16,679 Speaker 2: I was thinking to myself. Second point, why don't modern 102 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 2: cars have a spare tire? So look here it is. 103 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 2: My neighbor offered to come home a day early and 104 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 2: he said, I'll give you a lift. So my third 105 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 2: point is Kim is a gentleman and a lifesaver. And 106 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 2: so on Monday of this week. I went into MG 107 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 2: Tristram where I bought the car, and said what can 108 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 2: I do? And we talked about it. I could take 109 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 2: a replacement hard down in my second car, get the 110 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 2: MG fixed by the AA. But then, of course I'd 111 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: have two cars but only one driver stuck in the 112 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 2: Coromandal total disaster. But then Dave, the sales manager, heard 113 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 2: about the scenario and offered this solution. How about the 114 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 2: tire tech takes a car and a wheel to the 115 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 2: corrimandle with me as a passenger. He'll fix the car, 116 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 2: he'll come home and then I'll drive the MG back 117 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 2: and drop it in for proper alignment later. So fourth 118 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 2: point the blokes from MG Tristram are gentlemen and life 119 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 2: savers and understand service. So the upshot is today, after work, 120 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 2: I'm on a day long mission to Corrimandel to retrieve 121 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 2: a car with Dwayne the tire tech. I have asked. 122 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 2: He's not feral. I should get there in one piece. 123 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 2: And so I come to my fifth point. Why do 124 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 2: modern cars in New Zealand have no spare tire? The 125 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 2: mystery of the death of Gene Hackman ninety five years old, 126 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 2: Him and his wife, who was sixty three Betsy Arakawa 127 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 2: were found dead with their dog in their house. The 128 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 2: investigation continues, but TMZ's just reporting that the daughter of 129 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 2: the actor says he likely died from carbon monoxide poisoning. 130 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 2: They've been dead for it least a day before their 131 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 2: bodies were found. Elizabeth Hackman told TMZ that the family 132 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 2: suspects his father, his wife, and one of the dogs 133 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 2: died from toxic fumes inside their Santa Fe home. Their 134 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 2: bodies were found Wednesday during a welfare check, and police 135 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 2: at the moment are not ruling out anything as the 136 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 2: cause of death. There was no sign of trauma. Authorities 137 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 2: applied for a warrant to conduct a search and called 138 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 2: in the fire department and the gas company to ensure 139 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 2: the house was safe to search. And like I say, 140 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 2: the couple were dead and two of the couple's dogs 141 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 2: were found in there as well, some of them were alive. 142 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 2: What a tragic into what was a great, great actor? 143 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 2: It's our fourteen minutes after five. So about a month ago, 144 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 2: Liz Shackleton was talking with Mike Hosking and she said 145 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 2: the government needed to give fast track for approvals to 146 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 2: animal and health products. Guess what the government did it. 147 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 2: So a talk to Liz next here on News Talks, 148 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 2: FB News. 149 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: And Views you trust to start your day.

If you've TALKSV. 152 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 2: It's sixteen after five, good mording to you. The government 153 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 2: is committing to speed up approvals for animal and plant 154 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 2: health products. All sixteen of the Ministry of Regulations recommendations 155 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 2: were accepted and so now we're going to find so 156 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 2: planned an Animal Health Chief Executive as Checkerton has got 157 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 2: a be early for us and good morning to you. 158 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 7: Lis. 159 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 8: Oh, I'm not rie in Andrew lovely to connect. 160 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 2: Okay, so what will this do for Fanning? 161 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 8: So look, Andrew, if regulators can deliver on the direction 162 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 8: set out by ministers in this report, the primary sector 163 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 8: economy will grow. It's a glimmer of hope that change 164 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 8: is coming. But the real test now is if regulators 165 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 8: can turn the ship around and implement the recommendations. You know, 166 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 8: this is about getting solutions out of a queue and 167 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 8: into the hands of our farmers and growers to help 168 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 8: them fight today some of today's toughest challenges. And you know, 169 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 8: let's look at the products we're talking about here, soft chemistry, 170 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 8: inhibitor solutions, alternatives for resistant pests, biologicals prevented of solutions. 171 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 8: You know, if farmers have these options, it's a race 172 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 8: to the top. Without them, it's a race to the bottom. 173 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 2: Here, it's a month ago you were complaining on the 174 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 2: Microlasting Breakfast that they were becklog of more than one 175 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 2: hundred applications of waiting approval for the sort of stuff 176 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 2: you've just talked about, and you said there could be 177 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 2: a four year time spent to clear the queue. So 178 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 2: does that still exist? Is it still going to take 179 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 2: this on? 180 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,959 Speaker 8: Yeah? So look, this report confirmed everything that we've been 181 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 8: saying about the eyewatering delays. And look, Andre Lete's put 182 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 8: it in the perspective of a farmer. And here, you know, 183 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 8: say white cattle farmers there this morning. They need meetin 184 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 8: and nitrous oxide emission solutions. They've got less than five 185 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 8: years to meet the twenty thirty climate targets. This report 186 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 8: is saying approval will take five point six years. You know, 187 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 8: that's just too little, too late if you're a farmer. 188 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 8: And you know, I can give you some other examples 189 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 8: about what we've been hearing because you know, the urgency 190 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 8: around this queue is significant. 191 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 2: Why do you think we dropped the ball so much? 192 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 8: Look, I think it's a complex system and this is 193 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 8: something that this report absolutely m layers out today. But 194 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 8: I think what's more important now is looking forward and 195 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 8: actually delivery to turn this hope into reality. About turning 196 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 8: this quy around. We absolutely remain committed to work with 197 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 8: regulators and want to support them with that. But what 198 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:21,719 Speaker 8: our members are calling for is access, you know, engagement, urgency, 199 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 8: transparency and accountability. You know, because at a time when 200 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 8: our government's crying out for investment in New Zealand here andrew, 201 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 8: our members, the keying global businesses say are saying clearly 202 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 8: these delays make the future here untenable, you know. So 203 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 8: it's about working together, but ultimately can regulators deliver and 204 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 8: implement the recommendation? 205 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 2: Of course, of course our advantage is innovation. But if 206 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 2: we're slowing down the innovation, then we're losing the advantage. 207 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 2: Liz Shecky didn't thank you so much. This is the 208 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,719 Speaker 2: chief executive of Planned and Animal Health New Zealand. The 209 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 2: worry is are in Vegas? Have you heard about the 210 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 2: rights they ended up getting in trouble because they had 211 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 2: a play fight in the lift with a blow up 212 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 2: softball bat and the cops came in and arrest of them. 213 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 2: Have the boys been in trouble? Have our boys been 214 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 2: in trouble? Has it been good for the game? So 215 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 2: Cameron George is going to join us in a few 216 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 2: moments time from Las Vegas. 217 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens on a Billy edition with one roof Make 218 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: your Property Search Simple, used Talk Zippy. 219 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,079 Speaker 2: It is five twenty two. The Warriors are in Vegas 220 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 2: for the first game of the season against the Raiders. 221 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 2: In terms of the lineup, Charles Nicola Klockstadt has retained 222 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,839 Speaker 2: his hold on the number one jersey. Roger two of 223 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 2: Vasaschek has shifted from the centers to the wing. He 224 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 2: seems very happy about that. Cameron George is the CEO 225 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 2: of the Warriors and he joins me now in Las Vegas. 226 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 2: How the Cameron, Good morning, eight twenty two in the morning. 227 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 2: You've just come straight from the buffet. How was the food? 228 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 9: No, I haven't actually look. 229 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 10: It's crazy over here and I'm very excited about the 230 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 10: week we've had so far, and you know, and what's 231 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 10: less of it? So getting closer to game day, which 232 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 10: is really important for us. 233 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 2: Okay, So Andrew Webster has said that the Warriors have 234 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 2: done well not to be distracted by the goods of 235 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 2: Las Vegas, and from what you can tell as he rates. 236 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 9: Yeah, absolutely, our boys have prepared really well. 237 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 10: They know we've come here for you with a purpose, 238 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 10: and we've i think collectively managed to work really well, 239 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 10: both players and staff, and everyone's enjoyed the moment but 240 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 10: also kept very focused on what's important to us, and 241 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 10: that's preparing well for the for the game on Saturday. 242 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 2: One of the facilities like that you're training it and 243 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 2: what's the ground like? Is it all good? 244 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 10: Look where we're training is there's soccer fields. There's no 245 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 10: goalpost or anything. They've got line marking for rugby league fields, 246 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 10: but there are about four or five soccer fields adjacent 247 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 10: to each other. 248 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 9: That's where we train. 249 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 10: We are Jim Wise boys are at the UFC, which 250 00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 10: is a great experience for them. And look, everything else 251 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 10: is pretty similar to what we get at home, but 252 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 10: the fields are certainly very different given they're not rugby 253 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 10: league fields. 254 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 2: What's the sales like? I mean, how many Americans are 255 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 2: turning up and do they have any comprehension about what's 256 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 2: about to hit them? 257 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 9: Yeah. Yeah. 258 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 10: Look every billboard you see here is talking about rugby League, 259 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 10: and I understand there's just over forty eight thousand tickets 260 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 10: sold and fifteen thousand of those have been purchased by Americans, 261 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 10: pretty well from every state. So that's a really good 262 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 10: sign for the game. I think that certainly passes what 263 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 10: they did last year. 264 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 9: So it's a great sign that the game's being accepted 265 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 9: over here. 266 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 2: It's also a great sign that, to course the Australians 267 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 2: and New Zealand is thirty thousand of them have decided 268 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 2: to travel. We saw that the year New Zealand Warrior's 269 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 2: flight sold out in seventeen minutes, so obviously the games 270 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 2: and goods stayed in Australasia and that's quite good. I'm 271 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 2: so sorry that President Trump's not coming, but I appear 272 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 2: he's quite busy. 273 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 9: I can imagine he's got a bit on. 274 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 10: But at the end of the day, mate, there'll be 275 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 10: plenty of plenty of funderhad on game day, and yeah, 276 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 10: we're looking forward to it. 277 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 2: The Sydney Morning Herald yesterday reckons it's not the Warriors 278 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 2: year in fact, they reckoning, you're going to come sick 279 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 2: in to last. So we say every year it is 280 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 2: your year. So how is this yet any different to 281 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 2: than all the others. 282 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 9: Who was that Sorry the Sydney Morning Morning, they still existed. Look, 283 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 9: we've got. 284 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 10: A very good young and blended in with experience what 285 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 10: we've noticed this year, particularly training and if you if 286 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 10: you saw our second trial very fast, you know, if 287 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 10: they execute well, you know they're a team that can 288 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 10: score a lot of points in the fendwell. So look, 289 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 10: at the end of the day, it's going to be 290 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 10: a very tight competition. Our tension is to win it, 291 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 10: and we've got a very good squad, very happy with it. 292 00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 3: Like everyone, you need luck. 293 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 10: With no injuries, but or little injuries. But we're ready 294 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 10: to go. So there's no excuse from us. 295 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 2: We're right behind you. Caaron, all the very best. Give 296 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 2: our regards to the boys. Cameron George Warrior is CEO. 297 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 2: It is five twenty five NEWSTALKSZVB the Early. 298 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: Edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio Power It by Newstalk. 299 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 2: ZIB Newstalk's EB. It is five twenty seven. Okay, so 300 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 2: I'm a bit of a policy one I like policy. 301 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 2: I don't care which party it is. If they come 302 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 2: up with a policy, I like to break it down 303 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 2: and see if it makes sense, and I'll support any 304 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 2: policy from anybody if it's a good one. I also 305 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 2: know that politicians are addicted to announcements and attention at 306 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 2: media coverage, which means they sometimes say the very first 307 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 2: thing in their heads that sounds like it might get votes, 308 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 2: no matter if it's deliverable or not. Now we'll all 309 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 2: remember that Labor had a very bad case of it 310 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 2: last term Phil Twiford and is one hundred thousand KEI 311 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 2: we build fantasy. Michael wood I thought was the absolute 312 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 2: champion based on five minutes on the back of an envelope. 313 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 2: He announced a nearly nine hundred million dollar bike bridge 314 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 2: and then faced with a backlash from dominion row businesses. 315 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 2: He then casually stuck a light rail system underground, tripling 316 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 2: the price to an unaffordable eighteen billion dollars. Now it 317 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 2: seems to me that the National Led Coalition has a 318 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 2: case of the same disease. Paul Goldsmith has it bad. 319 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 2: This week he announced a change to citizens arrest rules, 320 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 2: but had no idea of what the changes are going 321 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 2: to be. The policy has been greeted with confusion and 322 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 2: a mixed reaction. It's an idea that needs a lot 323 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 2: more work. That's what he was announcing. In fact, he 324 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 2: was doing a classic Labor Party announcement of an announcement, 325 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 2: but the king of wishful thinking in the coalition as 326 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 2: the Prince of the Province's Shane Jones. This week he 327 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 2: proposed a special economic zone for mars and Point, begging 328 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 2: the question why not turn the whole country into a 329 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 2: special economic zone? 330 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 9: Shamee. 331 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 2: The whole place needs a hand. And then he proposed 332 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 2: repairing Marsden Point refinery, which is a fanciful idea. It 333 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 2: was shot down in hours as they realized the almost 334 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 2: cost of nearly eight billion dollars. Didn't Shane already know that? 335 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 2: And the reason why no government has repaired the refinery 336 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 2: ever since it was sold forty years ago is because 337 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 2: it's impossible and expensive. Did Shane not know that? But 338 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 2: he said it anyway. And the thing I think about 339 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 2: leadership is that you need to make adult decisions and proposals. 340 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 2: And if you're a cabinet minister, you can't just let 341 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 2: the first Walter Mitty like thought bubble pop out of 342 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 2: your mouth when you know that there's nothing there. Now. 343 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 2: That is the lesson labor should have learned from last term. 344 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 2: And hopefully the government we have right now figures it 345 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 2: out as well and figures it out soon. 346 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens, all right, do. 347 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 2: You understand the energy market? Do you understand the electricity market? Note? 348 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 2: Neither do I. But there have been some changes. The 349 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 2: big question is will it make it any cheaper for you? 350 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 2: And I will find that out just before six. 351 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: The News you need this morning and the in depth 352 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,360 Speaker 1: Analysis Early edition with Andrew Dickens and one roof Make 353 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,199 Speaker 1: your Property Search Simple News Talk Sippy. 354 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 11: Did you come? 355 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 2: Thank goodbarding to you.

All sorts 365 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 2: of things happening about that little story in Vincent McAvennie 366 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 2: will join us shortly to talk about that. Anko Starma 367 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 2: and his trip to Washington. News through overnight in Washington. 368 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 2: By the way, Jeff Bezos, the man who owns Amazon, 369 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 2: also owns the Washington Post, and he's made an editorial 370 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 2: decision the Post will no longer run views opposed to 371 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 2: personal liberties and free markets. He says he doesn't need 372 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 2: to because the Internet does that. So how do you 373 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 2: feel about that? Look, it says paper. He can do 374 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,439 Speaker 2: what he wants, and at least he's being open, honest 375 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 2: and transparent about what they're going to report and what 376 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 2: they're not going to report. But hello, do not expect 377 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 2: me to read anything in the Washington Post about free 378 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 2: speech without caforing And Jeff, I think you might have 379 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 2: just lost the anti globalization people who would like to 380 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 2: see things anti free market, and that is a significant 381 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 2: part of the American market in these Trumpian days. But hey, 382 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 2: it's your paper. Myself, personally, I prefer my media to 383 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 2: present all sides of a story without buyers and then 384 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 2: let me, as an adult, make my own mind up. 385 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 2: When I read a paper, I reckon I should disagree 386 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 2: with half of it because that helps solidify my own argument. 387 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 2: So Jeff Bezos has made the call. Jeff Bezos the 388 00:19:55,960 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 2: world's grosser and habitdasher is no free speech advocate, and 389 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 2: he is a censor, and he is a cancellor. Twenty 390 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 2: two to eight around the country, we go, Callum Procter 391 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 2: from Otarga Halle, Callum morning Andrew. Now there's a plea 392 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 2: to end futile CPR in aged residential care facilities. 393 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 12: Yeah, lot, This will spark a bit of debate. This 394 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 12: comes out of research here at Otaga University. These researchers 395 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 12: believe that aged care staff should not have to be 396 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 12: forced to provide compressions to pulseless residents at age care facilities. 397 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 12: They argue that these facilities should be able to adopt 398 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 12: no chest compression policies so that residents can have staff 399 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 12: providing comfort and holding their hand in their final moments. 400 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 12: Researchers say CPR is not always helpful for the elderly. 401 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,199 Speaker 12: They say it's likely it will break ribs, which is 402 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 12: traumatic for the person and staff. 403 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 2: Yes, it's a terrible call, a big call as well. 404 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 2: Hey how's the weather? That's pretty good? 405 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 12: Fine today evening cloud nor Easterly's twenty two to the high. 406 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 2: And I thank you, Claire. Sure we're joins us from 407 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 2: christ Riot Teleclaire morning. So they need more health services 408 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 2: than Selwyn, Yes. 409 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 13: Well, of course, for context, Selwyn is in New Zealand's 410 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 13: fastest growing district. That's according to the latest census data. 411 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 13: With growth of cause lots of positives for those around 412 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 13: Rolliston Way, but also a fair bit of concern. The 413 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 13: District Council's latest aging well survey show Selwyn is very 414 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 13: under resourced when it comes to blood services, dental clinics, 415 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 13: pharmacies and medical centers. In fact, a third of residents 416 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 13: are enrolled with a GP outside of Selwyn. Health in 417 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 13: ZED says it's working with the council and helping find 418 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 13: a GP tenant for Rolliston's Health Hub and a new 419 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 13: primary birthing unit Otomidachy are great examples of what they're doing. 420 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 13: But Rolliston Residents' Association chair Mark Alexander says government services 421 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 13: haven't kept up with the growth. He says it's assumed 422 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 13: people will just travel into christ Church, but given not 423 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 13: everyone can drive, and there is also a lack of 424 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 13: public transport out there, that's not the answer. 425 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 2: Yes, you're ill, Oh don't great drive? Okay. How's the weather? 426 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 13: Mostly cloudy today, some fine spells a bit later northeasterly 427 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 13: is and a high of twenty. 428 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 2: One drummex Toll and Willington helm X. 429 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 5: Good morning. 430 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 2: So the botanic gardens.

I love them now the car 432 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 2: parks they're not there anymore. 433 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, quite a few of them are not. Yeah, exactly 434 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 5: lovely place for botanic gardens. A few months ago, taking 435 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 5: quite a few people by surprise, the roadside car parking 436 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 5: along the edge of the gardens on Glenmore Street vanished. 437 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 5: A cycle way appeared great for those cycling down the 438 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 5: hill from Kelbourn to and from work, bad for people 439 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 5: driving visiting the boat Ends.

A council committee took a vote yesterday.

She said in the meeting there are still 445 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 5: more than thirty thousand parks in the city, and she 446 00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 5: wants to do anything she can to incentivize cycle. 447 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 2: So what would that news in the news going to 448 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,439 Speaker 2: restore the Magonia House.

Vincent, 502 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 2: good morning, good morning, so secure stammagers jours away from 503 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 2: meeting with President Trump. 504 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 3: Yes, that's right. 505 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 14: He is the second European leader to visit the White 506 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,400 Speaker 14: House this week. He was pipped by President Macron on Monday. 507 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 14: He had been hoping for this invite a little earlier 508 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 14: because he has built quite a good relationship with Donald Trump, 509 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 14: meeting him last year several times ahead of the election 510 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,919 Speaker 14: in anticipation of his victory. Now he is going, we understand, 511 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 14: to tell the United States that they must put security 512 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 14: guarantees in place in whatever deal they are going to 513 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 14: strike with Russia. They need that backstop. And he's going 514 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 14: to say, if you are going to put all this 515 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 14: resource and money into rare earth mineral extraction, you need 516 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 14: to make sure that your investment is safe and protected. 517 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 14: And that's ahead of course of President Zelenski of Ukraine 518 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 14: visiting the White House tomorrow. So we think signed this 519 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 14: deal on these rare earth minerals, and the UK also 520 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,120 Speaker 14: hoping to avoid any kind of tariffs that we've seen 521 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 14: on allies like Mexico, Canada and the EU because he 522 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 14: wants to play sakirstarma on that special love that Trump 523 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 14: has for the UK, given his mother was Scottish. 524 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 2: Okay. Now, meanwhile, we're following the progress of Andrew Tait 525 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 2: and his brother Tristram, who had finally been extra dieded 526 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 2: from Romania. It only took three years. Where's that story it? 527 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 14: Well, they have now landed in Florida in the past 528 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 14: half hour. They have arrived via private jet at Fort 529 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 14: Lauderdale International Airport. Now there is still a lot of 530 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 14: confusion about this. The pair have been detained for the 531 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,679 Speaker 14: last three years in Romania, where they had moved to, 532 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 14: and they were accused of human trafficking and rape in 533 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 14: the country, charges they deny. They were also facing a 534 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 14: separate case in the UK of rape and human trafficking 535 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 14: as well. But what appears to have happened is that 536 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 14: Rick Grennell, who is a sort of representative for Donald 537 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 14: Trump at the Munich Security Conference, held a meeting with 538 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 14: the Romanian foreign minister, where it's thought that perhaps he 539 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 14: had requested that the two be allowed to leave the country, 540 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 14: and that is what prosecutors have done. They haven't dropped 541 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 14: the cases, but they have returned their passports to them 542 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 14: and let them return to the US. Now, once they're 543 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 14: in the US, it's highly unlikely they could ever be 544 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,880 Speaker 14: extradited to face both the Romanian and the British case, 545 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 14: so some confusion exactly what this intervention has been into 546 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 14: the Romanian justice system to get these two highly controversial, 547 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 14: problematic individuals released. And back to the US. 548 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 2: Vinja mcaviniy and I thank you. Are more on this 549 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 2: with the Mike Husking breakfast is now eleven to. 550 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: Six Andrew Dickens. 551 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 2: So the Energy Competition Task Force is making moves to 552 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 2: bring down the power bills and good on them because 553 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 2: we all want that. It is recommended that the Electricity 554 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 2: Authority crack down on gen taylors who neglect to be 555 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,880 Speaker 2: fair and competitive. And now the authority is seeking feedback 556 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 2: on the proposed approach, and we've got the CEO of 557 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 2: rewiring alt role with us, Mike Casey, Good morning. 558 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 3: To you, given morning, Andrew, there you go, very good. 559 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,360 Speaker 2: So what would the monitoring companies actually do and how 560 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 2: would this make our power bills smaller? 561 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 15: Well, this is pretty exciting because one of the big 562 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 15: things that the independent retails are the ones that don't 563 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 15: generate electricity, have been sort of talking about. 564 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 3: For a long time. It hadn't been particularly their playing field. 565 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 15: So the idea behind this change is essentially that the 566 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 15: large into town the likes of contact Energie, Meridian, Mercury, 567 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 15: and so they are going to have to sell power 568 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 15: to the independent generators at the same price they sell 569 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 15: it to themselves. And that's just pretty exciting. There's a 570 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 15: lot of work that needs to be done to make 571 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 15: sure that this actually does happen and happens effectively. And 572 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 15: one thing that we're sort of calling for it rewiring 573 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 15: Il said, oh, is really trying to figure out how 574 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 15: to make sure that this is mandatory rather than just 575 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 15: sort of policing it maybe after the fact. 576 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 2: Okay, So the question is if they do manage by monitoring, 577 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 2: which is a bit of scowling, they manage to get 578 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 2: these gent tailors, the big four, you know, who have 579 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 2: both sides of the equation, If they do manage to 580 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 2: offer this stuff to independence, will those generators bump up 581 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 2: the price to keep the same level of profits that 582 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 2: they're getting at them at the same time, so will 583 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 2: we actually get a lower price? 584 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 15: That is potentially an issue, But I think on the 585 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 15: other side of it, it's quite exciting. We've seen most 586 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 15: of the innovation around pricing for consumers, most of the 587 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 15: innovative products coming out, such as things like free hour 588 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 15: of power, things like that are coming from the independence, 589 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 15: so it being a playing field. I am very very 590 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 15: optimistic that this will cause a downward pressure on power prices, 591 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 15: more innovation in the space, which is ultimately best for 592 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 15: the customer, but that is something the regulator is going 593 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 15: to have to make sure right at the end of 594 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 15: the day. There is the theory that it can put 595 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 15: down with pressure on prices, but we have seen in 596 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 15: the past that that is not necessarily always the case. 597 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 2: In an ideal world, would you prefer that generators are 598 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 2: absolutely separated from retailers. 599 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 15: I think that's the big drastic step that the government 600 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 15: is going to have to be looking at to see 601 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 15: whether that is the ultimate outcome. This is kind of 602 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 15: a bit of a lower touch step that might resolve 603 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 15: some of the issues and do it far far faster. 604 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 3: And I think the thing that we're seeing now for the. 605 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 15: Customers of New Zealand, things are going to be done 606 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 15: really quickly because power bills keep rising in this country 607 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 15: and they don't need to. 608 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 2: Be and part of the reason they keep rising is 609 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 2: that we keep on running out of power because it 610 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 2: keeps on being dry and everything is renewable. Eighty five 611 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 2: percent of our power is renewable, So you know you've 612 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 2: got your finger on the pulse. Are we going to 613 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 2: have another power crisis this winter? 614 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 3: Well, I mean I keep my finger on the pulse 615 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 3: a lot because I have a huge kind of soul 616 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 3: on my farm and I'm doing very well out of 617 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 3: that at the moment, selling at the wholesale rate where 618 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 3: the price of power is incredibly high. So I do 619 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 3: it have my finger on the pulse a lot in 620 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 3: that regard. It isn't raining at the moment. I was 621 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 3: just on the shores of Lake Chippo a couple of 622 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 3: days ago and it's looking very very dry. What we 623 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 3: do every year is we sort of sit there and 624 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 3: wait and pray for rain. 625 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 15: Sometimes it comes. In the case of twenties twenty four 626 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 15: it didn't. So you know, it's all going to come 627 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 15: down to the work that gods. At the moment, see 628 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 15: how this energy industry copes with the current shortage of water. 629 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 3: It's not looking good at the moment. 630 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 15: And so yes, anything that we can do in the 631 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 15: space to improve innovation and also roll out alternative forms 632 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 15: of generation like riftop solo on homes and on farms 633 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 15: is going to make a massive difference to the outcome 634 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 15: for customers. 635 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 2: All right, Mike Casey, I thank you so much. Mike 636 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 2: Casey is the CEO of rewiring al Te Royer. My 637 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 2: son actually climbed halfway up Mount cook over the last 638 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 2: weekend and he said he's never seen it so dry, 639 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 2: and also the glaciers are very small. It's been a 640 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 2: hot one. It is seven minutes to six. 641 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: The first word on the Use of the day earlier 642 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: with Andrew Dickens and One Room, Make your Property search simple. 643 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: You talk with me. 644 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 2: Robbie's gone and text me and says it's obviously not working. 645 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 2: Everyone's fixed daily charges and power has just gone up. 646 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 2: Thank you, Robbie. And another text an email from Nova 647 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,959 Speaker 2: last night. Gas and power going up. So it's an 648 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 2: issue and they're trying to deal with it. I meanwhile, 649 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 2: the Warriors game this weekend. I hello, Mike. I talked 650 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 2: to Cameron George just a while ago. Forty eight thousand 651 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 2: tickets sold, fifteen thousand of them Yanks. So that's not 652 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 2: really the revolution. It wasn't last year, it isn't this year. 653 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 2: It's the stadium holds sixty something sixty five. I think 654 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 2: it's not one of the biggest stadiums. But it wasn't 655 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 2: a sell out last year, it isn't this year. It's 656 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 2: good fun for the people who jumped on the charter 657 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 2: flight from New Zealand and stuff sold out in seventeen minutes. 658 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 16: Yeah, and that's good. But you only need two hundred 659 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 16: tickets to get out four pointue. But do you know 660 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 16: what I'm saying, It's just I wish it was successful, 661 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 16: but it's just there's so much sport in America and 662 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 16: everyone just goes, I know, I'll join that queue, and 663 00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,719 Speaker 16: it's just it's just not here's the thing. 664 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 2: I mean, it's hard times.
