1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Despite the noise around cops cops on the Bacon crime

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: coming down, the internal police start to shows we've got

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: a seventeen percent increase in retail crime in the first

4
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: five months of the year. Last year there are about

5
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: forty one thousand instances recorded this year, we're pushing fifty,

6
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: so forty one to fifty. Chair of the Dairying Business

7
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: Owners Group, Sunny Koschiel's back with us, Sunny morning.

8
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 2: Very good morning, Mike.

9
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: And now you're working with the government on this crime group.

10
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: You've got to come up with the answers. Pressures on you, mate,

11
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: what are you going to do about it?

12
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a huge pressure and a lot of work

13
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: to do. The Advisory Group would start working very soon

14
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 2: and we will come up with those specific proposals and

15
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: changes in policy and that decision to urgently address these challenges.

16
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 2: The data that you have seen that we compared, you know,

17
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 2: first five months of twenty twenty four versus twenty twenty three.

18
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: There are some good news, but there are bad news

19
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: as we see. So this is really concerning and highlighting

20
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: the need to get PANDEM back to the low abiding.

21
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: Do you do you see it and feel it? Because

22
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: I mean, the vibe has been that there are cops

23
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: on the beat, things are working, the crackdown is on,

24
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: and so this for many people will become as a

25
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: shock wind.

26
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 2: It is, it's very frustrating, but it's also because that

27
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: things have been let down go to the deep in

28
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: tracks for a very long time, so that need to

29
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 2: be addressed quickly. You know, as you see the ram

30
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: rates are down with the you know of course the

31
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 2: message which is going from the government, and also there's

32
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: a five percent fall in robberies and there's burglaries are

33
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: down ten percent. But the bad news is the sexual

34
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: offenses are up and the acts intending to cause injury

35
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 2: what we have seen recently in Papatu to the attack

36
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: on a jeweler and also an attack on the security guard.

37
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: So those kind of crimes are up four percent so

38
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: and they are around eleven every day. So these need

39
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: to be stopped and we need to take our intactions exact.

40
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: Couldn't agree more. When are we going to get the

41
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: first idea from your group?

42
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 2: The group has yet to start working, so you're hoping

43
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 2: to start working by end of this month. But I point,

44
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 2: as Mike did, the day we start working within two

45
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: weeks time, I would have the first proposal on table.

46
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: All right, mate, I appreciate it very much. Sunny Kerschel,

47
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: who's the Diary and Business Owners Group president. And I'm

48
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: just checking up because I'm absolutely certain that Mark Mitchell

49
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: when they announced that group that they were setting up

50
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: see the first idea, because it's going for two years.

51
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: And the criticism was two years. I mean, come on,

52
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: why were at a work and greep and they're going

53
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: to come back with some proposals. No, they said the

54
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: proposals would be just a couple of weeks away. The

55
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: first ideas would be coming forward, said Mark Mitchell in

56
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: just a couple of weeks time. For more from the
