MORENA. IT'S THURSDAY THE 24TH OF NOVEMBER! MORENA, THIS IS BREAKFAST. WELCOME TO OUR WHARE. THE CALL AT 630 LAST NIGHT ` YOU GUYS ARE SO MEAN. WE ARE GETTING READY FOR YOUR EARLY AIRPORT START TOMORROW MORNING. WE ARE SO GENEROUS. COMING UP ON THE SHOW ` UNDERSTAFFED AND UNDERPAID ` ALL IN A DAYS WORK FOR GENERAL PRACTICIONERS ACROSS AOTEAROA. WE'RE HEARING FROM ONE CLINIC JUST AFTER 7. AND MAKING NEWS ` A HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION IS UNDERWAY AFTER A SHOPKEEPER WAS STABBED IN AUCKLAND. WE'RE CROSSING THERE LIVE SHORTLY FOR THE VERY LATEST. PLUS, A RECESSION IS LOOMING ` WHY THE RESERVE BANK GOVERNOR WANTS CONSUMERS TO EASE UP ON SPENDING AHEAD OF CHRISTMAS. THAT COMING UP IN AROUND 20 MINUTES TIME. I WANT TO KNOW YOUR FEEDBACK ` THOSE ARE SOME VERY POINTED COMMENTS FROM THE RESERVE BANK GOVERNOR ABOUT US CURBING OUR SPENDING. I WANT TO KNOW, DO YOU EVEN FEEL LIKE YOU ARE SPENDING AS MUCH AS YOU ONCE WERE? A CUTTING DOWN ON SPENDING ALREADY? HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT THE OCR INCREASE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT? AND IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT MAYBE GETTING INTO A LITTLE BIT OF DEBT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, APPARENTLY, THEY ARE EXPECTING THAT EARLY NEXT YEAR THEY WILL BE HIKING IT UP AGAIN, SO NOT THE BEST TIME FOR INTEREST RATES. LET US KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS. IT HAS JUST GONE 6 O'CLOCK. NOW JENNY WITH THE NEWS. A HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION'S BEEN LAUNCHED AFTER A LOCAL DAIRY WORKER WAS STABBED AND KILLED IN THE AUCKLAND SUBURB OF SANDRINGHAM LAST NIGHT. FOR MORE WE'RE JOINED BY TESSA PARKER WHO IS AT THE SCENE. WHAT'S THE LATEST, TESSA? MORENA, JENNY. POLICE REMAIN ON THE SCENE BEHIND ME OUTSIDE THE SANDRINGHAM DAIRY. THEY WERE FIRST CALLED HERE AT 8 PM, AFTER AN OFFENDER INTO THE STORE WITH A KNIFE. THE OFFENDER ALLEGEDLY TRIED TO STEAL THE CASH REGISTER, RESULTING IN THE DAIRY WORKER BEING STABBED. HE WAS TAKEN TO HOSPITAL AND A CRITICAL CONDITION WHEN HE LATER DIED. WE HAVE NOT GOT AN UPDATE THIS MORNING FROM POLICE YET ` THAT IS BECAUSE WE WILL HEAR FROM THEM AROUND 7 AM. SANDRINGHAM LOCALS CAN EXPECT POLICE TO STAY IN THE AREA. THEY WILL BE CONDUCTING SCENE EXAMINATIONS AND TALKING TO LOCALS. THEY ARE APPEALING FOR ANY INFORMATION AND HELPING TO IDENTIFY AND ARREST THE OFFENDER. THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE. A MAN (27) IS SET TO APPEAR IN COURT TODAY FOLLOWING A FATAL HIT AND RUN IN WEST AUCKLAND. A WITNESS TOLD 1 NEWS A CAR APPEARED TO BE DRIVEN STRAIGHT INTO THE VICTIM, AND A HANDGUN WAS PULLED AS THE CAR FLED THE SCENE. THE ALLEGED DRIVER WAS ARRESTED IN GLEN EDEN LAST NIGHT AND IS CHARGED WITH MURDER. POLICE ARE ASKING FOR ANYONE WHO MAY HAVE SEEN THE INCIDENT TO COME FORWARD. SIX PEOPLE ARE DEAD AND FOUR MORE INJURED AFTER A GUNMAN OPENED FIRE AT A WALMART IN THE U.S. STATE OF VIRGINIA. IT'S BELIEVED THE ATTACKER WAS THE MANAGER OF THE STORE. THE BBC'S RICHARD GALPIN HAS THE LATEST. THE POLICE WERE SOON ON THE SCENE LOOKING FOR OTHER VICTIMS. THE STORE IS VERY LARGE WITH PLENTY OF PLACES TO HIDE. SO WE WERE ABLE TO FIND MULTIPLE FATALITIES AND MULTIPLE INJURED PARTIES. WITH THE CHESAPEAKE FIRE DEPARTMENT, WE WERE ABLE TO PUT RESCUE AND TACTICAL TEAMS TOGETHER TO GO INSIDE TO PROVIDE LIFESAVING MEASURES RAPIDLY AND QUICKLY. AND THEN THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE INVESTIGATION, WE BELIEVE IT WAS A SINGLE SHOOTER, AND WE BELIEVE THAT SHOOTER IS DECEASED AT THIS TIME. THIS WOMAN SAYS HER BROTHER WAS SHOT, BUT IS NOW UP AND BREATHING. HE ACTUALLY WAS SHOT IN THE SIDE. HE IS UP TALKING, BREATHING. THEY DON'T HAVE A LOT OF DETAILS RIGHT NOW. WALMART HAS SAID IT'S SHOCKED AT THE VIOLENCE. AND THE VIRGINIA STATE SENATOR, LOUISE LUCAS, HAS SAID SHE IS ABSOLUTELY HEARTBROKEN. THE CHESAPEAKE MAYOR HAS DESCRIBED IT AS 'AN ACT OF SENSELESS VIOLENCE' AND WHAT HAS HAPPENED HERE IS JUST THE LATEST OF MANY MASS SHOOTINGS IN THE COUNTRY. LESS THAN A WEEK AGO, FIVE PEOPLE WERE KILLED AND MANY INJURED IN A GUN ATTACK AT A DRAG SHOW IN COLORADO SPRINGS. POWER HAS BEEN CUT OFF TO LARGE PARTS OF UKRAINE, AS WELL AS MORE THAN HALF OF NEIGHBOURING COUNTRY MOLDOVA AFTER A WAVE OF RUSSIAN MISSILE STRIKES OVERNIGHT. IT'S THE LATEST IN RUSSIA'S LENGTHY ATTACKS ON UKRAINE'S ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE, WHICH HAS DAMAGED ALMOST HALF OF THE NETWORK. AT LEAST THREE PEOPLE IN THE CAPITAL KYIV HAVE BEEN KILLED IN TODAY'S STRIKES. THE SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN TOLD IT CAN'T HOLD ANOTHER INDEPENDENCE REFERENDUM WITHOUT THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT'S CONSENT AFTER A RULING BY THE UK'S SUPREME COURT. IT'S A SETBACK FOR THE SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT'S CAMPAIGN TO BREAK AWAY FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM, DESPITE VOTERS IN 2014 INITIALLY REJECTING SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE. FIRST MINISTER NICOLA STURGEON HAD WANTED TO HOLD A REFERENDUM IN OCTOBER, AND SAYS SHE'LL CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR INDEPEDENCE. THE FACT IS, THE SNP IS NOT ABANDONING THE REFERENDUM ROUTE ` WESTMINSTER IS BLOCKING IT, AND IN THAT SCENARIO, UNLESS WE GIVE UP ON DEMOCRACY, AND AGAIN, FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF ANY DOUBT, I, FOR ONE, AM SIMPLY NOT PREPARED TO DO THAT. THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT HAS SO FAR REFUSED TO GRANT FORMAL CONSENT FOR A REFERENDUM. TO SPORT, AND JAPAN HAVE BEATEN GERMANY 2-1 AT THE FOOTBALL WORLD CUP ` THEIR FIRST-EVER VICTORY OVER THE FOUR-TIME TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS. GERMANY DOMINATED FOR MOST OF THE MATCH, HOLDING A 1-0 LEAD UP UNTIL THE 74TH MINUTE BEFORE JAPAN MOUNTED A COMEBACK. THAT WOULD HAVE DENIED US THIS GREAT FINISH. LOVELY TOUCH THERE! THE STORY DEVELOPS! AND SPAIN'S CRUISING IN THEIR OPENING MATCH, LEADING COSTA RICA 3-0. HERE'S YOUR 6 O'CLOCK BUSINESS MARKET UPDATE FOR THE MORNING. AND TAKING A LOOK AT YOUR WEATHER THIS MORNING ` TO THE TOP OF THE COUNTRY ` RAIN EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS WILL EASE TO SHOWERS, CONTINUING INTO THE AFTERNOON. 22s AND 20s THE HIGHS THROUGH HERE. HEADING SOUTH ` SIMILAR HERE. RAIN DEVELOPING EARLY, TURNING TO SHOWERS BY MIDDAY. SOME OF THESE FALLS MAY BE HEAVY. 19 THE HIGH FOR WHAKATANE. TO THE EAST COAST ` A CLOUDY DAY THROUGH HERE. YOU'LL ALL SEE SHOWERS DEVELOPING EARLY THIS MORNING. DANNEVIRKE AND MASTERTON, THOSE MAY BE HEAVIER FOR YOU. 22 THE HIGH FOR HASTINGS. OVER TO THE WEST ` A WINDY DAY WITH THE ODD SHOWER FOR WELLINGTON. THE REST OF YOU, RAIN AND WIND STARTING EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS WILL STICK AROUND FOR MOST, EASING FOR TAUMARUNUI. 16 THE HIGH FOR WELLINGTON. TO THE SOUTH ISLAND ` YOU'LL WANT TO GRAB A BROLLY. SHOWERS FOR MOST OF YOU THIS MORNING. BLENHEIM AND KAIKOURA, YOU'LL SEE THIS WET WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON. 15 THE HIGH FOR GREYMOUTH. HEADING SOUTH ` LOOKING MOSTLY FINE THIS MORNING. EXPECT SHOWERS TO DEVELOP LATER THIS AFTERNOON. 20 THE HIGH FOR CHRISTCHURCH. TO THE DEEP SOUTH ` A CLOUDY DAY WITH SHOWERS DEVELOPING EARLY THIS MORNING. THOSE SHOWERS WILL STICK AROUND THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON. 14 THE HIGH FOR GORE. ANOTHER WET DAY FOR ALL OF US. IN RESPONSE TO RISING RETAIL CRIME, FOODSTUFFS IS TRIALING FACIAL RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY AT APPROXIMATELY 30 SUPERMARKETS IN THE NORTH ISLAND. A CONSUMER NZ INVESTIGATION HAS FOUND IT'S NOT THE ONLY MAJOR SUPERMARKET RETAILER USING THE TECHNOLOGY TO SCAN THE FACES OF SHOPPERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. IT'S RAISING SERIOUS PRIVACY AND ETHICAL CONCERNS, AND TO TELL US MORE, CONSUMER NZ'S JON DUFFY IS WITH ME NOW. MORENA, JON. THIS HASN'T ISN'T THE FIRST TIME FOODSTUFFS HAS BEEN QUESTIONED ABOUT ITS USE OF FACIAL RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY. WHAT ELSE DID YOUR INVESTIGATION FIND? THAT IS QUITE RIGHT. MEDIA HAS BEEN TALKING TO FOODSTUFFS SINCE 2008, WHERE WE UNDERSTAND THAT THEY BEGAN USING THIS TECHNOLOGY. FOR THEM TO BE DESCRIBING IT AS A TRIAL THAT IS UNDERWAY RECENTLY, WE THINK IS A BIT DISINGENUOUS. JUST A POINT OF CORRECTION IN THE INTRODUCTION ` FOODSTUFFS ARE IN FACT THE ONLY MAJOR RETAILER WE UNDERSTAND THAT IS USING THIS TECHNOLOGY IN NEW ZEALAND, AND THAT FOLLOWS AN INVESTIGATION BY OUR SISTER ORGANISATION IN AUSTRALIA, CHOICE, THAT WORKED WITH A LOT OF MAJOR RETAILERS IN AUSTRALIA, AND SAW MAJOR RETAILERS WHO ARE USING THIS TECHNOLOGY ABANDON ITS USE, BECAUSE IT WAS PROVEN TO BE NOT AS EFFECTIVE AS ADVERTISED. THANKS VERY MUCH FOR CLARIFYING THAT. THERE HAS BEEN QUESTIONS ABOUT IT IN THE PAST ` OMEN WHEN THEY WERE QUESTIONED ON IT, AND THEY SAID IT WAS A SHORT TRIAL. IT IS A LONG PERIOD FOR A SHORT TRIAL. TO CALL IT A TRIAL IS, AS I SAY, LITTLE BIT DISINGENUOUS. MANY NEW ZEALANDERS WOULD BE VERY SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THAT WHEN THEY VISIT A NEW WORLD, PAKNSAVE OR ANOTHER STORE THEIR BIOMETRIC DATA IS BEING RECORDED BY THE OWNERS OF THAT STORE, AND USED FOR CRIME PREVENTION PURPOSES. WE HAVE QUITE A LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT THAT ` FIRSTLY, BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD NOT KNOW THAT THAT IS GOING ON, SO THERE IS A QUESTION ABOUT HOW WELL PEOPLE ARE BEING INFORMED ABOUT THAT, AND SECONDLY, LET'S REMEMBER, THIS IS A COMPANY THAT REGULARLY CANNOT EVEN GET THE SHELF PRICE TO MATCH THE PRICE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN CHARGED AT THE TILL ` THEY ARE NOW ASKING CONSUMERS TO TRUST THAT THEY ARE STORING THEIR SENSITIVE BIOMETRIC DATA ` AND LET'S REMEMBER, THAT INCLUDES THE BIOMETRIC DATA OF OTHER PEOPLE, FOR EXAMPLE, CHILDREN, THEY ARE ASKING US TO TRUST THAT IT IS BEING STORED IN A FAITHFUL WAY. I LIKE TRUST AND THAT. DO WE KNOW HOW IT IS BEING STORED, HOW DOES BEING COLLATED, ANALYSED? THEY HAVE BEEN VERY LOOSE ON THE DETAIL WITH US AROUND WHAT THEY ARE DOING. THEIR TELLING US THAT THEY ARE COLLECTING AND USING THIS INFORMATION TO PREVENT CRIME, BUT THEY HAVE ALSO PROVIDED US WITH CRIME STATISTICS THAT RELATE TO THE FOUR YEARS WE UNDERSTAND THAT THEY HAVE BEEN USING THIS TECHNOLOGY, AND IT HAS SHOWN THAT CRIME AND HARM INCIDENTS IN THIS OF MARKETS HAVE GONE UP SIGNIFICANTLY, SEVERAL OF THE TIME THEY HAVE BEEN RUNNING THIS TECHNOLOGY, THE RATE OF INCIDENTS HAS ONLY INCREASED. HOW EFFECTIVE IS THIS TECHNOLOGY IN PREVENTING CRIME? I'M GOING TO READ A STATEMENT FROM FOODSTUFFS, IN TERMS OF THE STATISTICS THAT YOU JUST POINTED OUT ` THEY SAID THAT INCIDENTS AND THEIR STORE HAVE RISEN BY 246% SINCE THE START OF THE PANDEMIC ALONE, FOR THEM, THIS IS ABOUT KEEPING STOCK ON THEIR SHELVES AND PROTECTING THEIR STAFF. SO IS A COLLECTION OF THE CUSTOMERS BIOMETRIC DATA PROPORTIONATE TO THE RISKS THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO MITIGATE? WELL, IN SOME CASES, COULD BE. THERE ARE CASES WHERE FACIAL RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY IS APPROPRIATELY COLLECTED, AND IT IS USED AS AN EFFECTIVE TOOL TO COMBAT OFFENDING. WE QUESTION WHETHER ITS USE IN A SUPERMARKET, AND LET'S REMEMBER, PEOPLE HAVE VERY LIMITED CHOICES, IN TERMS OF THE SUPERMARKETS THEY GO TO, DUE TO GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION OF MANY SUPERMARKETS, AND PEOPLE'S ABILITY TO TRAVEL, AND AN ESSENTIAL SERVICE LIKE A SUPERMARKET, AS IT PROPORTIONATE TO BE COLLECTING THIS TYPE OF HIGHLY SENSITIVE DATA, PARTICULARLY WHEN FOODSTUFFS OWN EVIDENCE SHOWS THAT THESE MEASURES ARE NOT DETERRING THE VERY THING THAT THEY ARE CLAIMING TO BE TRYING TO DETER OR PREVENT WITH THE TECHNOLOGY. IF YOU ARE WATCHING THIS, YOU ARE A REGULAR SHOPPER, AS MOST OF US ARE, YOU MIGHT BE THINKING, OH WELL, THEY ARE JUST TAKING A PHOTO OF ME, AGAINST THOUSANDS OF OTHERS EVERY DAY, DOES NOT MATTER AS MUCH. CAN YOU EXPLAIN EXACTLY WHAT THE RISKS HERE ARE, POTENTIALLY, FOR SHOPPERS? ONE OF THE MOST OBVIOUS RISKS IS THAT THIS INFORMATION IS ACCESSED BY PEOPLE WITH BAD INTENT, AND GIVEN ALL OF THE OTHER DATA THAT FOODSTUFFS HOLD ABOUT THEIR SHOPPERS, PARTICULAR THROUGH THEIR LOYALTY SCHEMES, YOU COULD REALLY BUILD AN EXPENSIVE PICTURE OF A PERSON IF THAT DATA WAS ACCESSED BY A BAD ACTOR, AND I THINK THAT IS THE BIGGEST RISK. THE SECOND RISK IS TO FOODSTUFFS BRAND, BECAUSE MANY NEW ZEALANDERS, AND MANY PEOPLE WE HAVE SPOKEN TO AS PART OF THIS, REALLY SURPRISED THAT FOODSTUFFS IS GOING TO THE LENGTHS OF COLLECTING SENSITIVE BIOMETRIC DATA TO PREVENT HARM INCIDENTS AND SHOPLIFTING IN THEIR STORES. NONE OF THE OTHER SUPERMARKETS IN NEW ZEALAND ARE DOING THIS, NONE OF THE OTHER MAJOR RETAILERS ARE DOING THIS. THEY DO NOT SEE THAT IT IS AN EFFECTIVE MEASURE. I GUESS THE OTHER MAJOR RISK FOR FOODSTUFFS AS AN EVEN FURTHER EROSION OF THE TRUST IN THEIR BRAND, AND WE WOULD ENCOURAGE THEM TO PULL THE TECHNOLOGY BACK. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE YOUR TIME THIS MORNING. COMING UP ` FINANCIAL HARDSHIP AHEAD ` KIWIS ARE TOLD TO EXPECT A RECESSION ` SO WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOU? WE'RE BREAKING IT ALL DOWN NEXT. # WHEN I AM A BILLIONAIRE, # I WOULD HAVE A SHOW LIKE OPRAH, # I WOULD BE THE HOST OF... # THERE IS MORE FINANCIAL PAIN ON THE WAY AND A RECESSION IS INEVITABLE. THAT'S THE MESSAGE FROM THE RESERVE BANK, WHICH ADMITTED TODAY ITS ACTION TO CURB INFLATION WILL CAUSE NEW ZEALANDERS FINANCIAL HEARTACHE. THE BANK MADE IT'S BIGGEST MOVE YET TO KEEP THE ECONOMY IN CHECK, INCREASING THE OCR FROM 3.5% TO 4.25%, A RISE OF 75 BASIS POINTS, THE BIGGEST SINGLE INCREASE SINCE THE OCR WAS INTRODUCED IN 1999. THE PAST FIVE INCREASES HAVE ALL BEEN 50 POINTS. RIGHT NOW INFLATION'S 7.2%, MAINLY DRIVEN BY THE COST OF HOUSING CONSTRUCTION, LABOUR SHORTAGES AND WAGE GROWTH. IT'S EXPECTED ALL MORTGAGE RATES WILL GO UP, AS IT'S HOPED TODAY'S MOVE WILL ALSO COOL DOWN SPENDING. FOR MORE I'M JOINED BY RESERVE BANK GOVERNOR ADRIAN ORR. MORENA. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH US. HOW ARE YOU? I AM VERY WELL. IT IS A PRIVILEGE TO BE HERE. WE APPRECIATE YOU COMING ON, ESPECIALLY AT THIS TIME OF THE MORNING. WAS THIS YOUR ONLY COURSE OF ACTION YESTERDAY? THAT IS. WHAT WE PUT OUT AS BOTH A PROJECTION LOOKING FORWARD, AND WE TRY TO BE AS TRANSPARENT AS WE CAN, EXPLAIN HOW WE ARE SEEING THE ECONOMY, EXPLAIN WHERE WE SEE INFLATION, AND HENCE WHY WE ARE LIFTING INTEREST RATES, OR CONTINUING TO LIFT INTEREST RATES. AND INFLATION AS NO ONE'S FRIEND, AND OUR JOB IS TO CONTAIN INFLATION BACK TO 1 TO 3%. IT IS FUNNY ` JUST YESTERDAY MORNING, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE FACT THAT FINANCIAL STRESS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST CONTRIBUTORS IN THIS COUNTRY TO MENTAL HARDSHIP, SO WHAT WILL THIS MEAN FOR HOUSEHOLDS? FOR HOUSEHOLDS WITH MORTGAGES, A LOT OF WHAT WE DID YESTERDAY WAS CONFIRMING THEIR MORTGAGE PRICES THAT THEY ARE ALREADY PAYING ` THE FINANCIAL MARKETS HAVE PRICED IN A LOT OF WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT AND DOING ` WE HAVE NOW DONE IT. THE MORTGAGE COSTS WILL GO UP FOR SOME HOUSEHOLDS, AND SO THEY WILL HAVE TO THINK ABOUT ADJUSTING THEIR SPENDING ACCORDINGLY. THE INTEREST RATE LEVELS THAT` THE MORTGAGE RATE LEVELS HAVE BEEN STRESS TESTED, THE BANKS WHEN PROVIDING LOANS TO PEOPLE, THEY HAVE TRIED TO MAKE LOTS OF DIFFERENT LEVELS TO MAKE SURE THEY CAN MANAGE THROUGH THESE TIMES, AND THE TIME NOW IS TO MANAGE. THE ECONOMY IS RUNNING EXTREMELY HOT. WE HAVE EMPLOYMENT AT RECORD LEVELS, LABOUR FORCE PARTICIPATION AT RECORD LEVELS, AND WE HAVE A GLOBAL INTERNATIONAL INFLATION. YOU MENTIONED THE DOMESTIC OPPONENTS, BUT FOOD AND ENERGY PRICES GLOBALLY, AS WELL AS OUR OWN HOMEGROWN INFLATION, IS ALL PUTTING PRESSURE ON PEOPLE. WE NEED TO STAMP THAT INFLATION OUT, AND IT IS ABOUT US THINKING CAREFULLY WHEN WE ARE SPENDING BE WISE. WE DO NEED TO STAMP THAT INFLATION OUT, ALTHOUGH, THIS IS YOUR NINTH CONSECUTIVE RISE IN THE OCR, AND HERE WE ARE YET AGAIN. WHAT OTHER TOOLS THAT WE HAVE? HAD A WE GET THAT DOWN, BECAUSE IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE WORKING THUS FAR. I AM SORRY YOU HAVE TO SAY THAT. IT IS WORKING INCREDIBLY WELL, BY DEFINITION OF YOU IN THE INTRODUCTION. YOU HAVE EXPLAINED THAT IT IS WORKING. PEOPLE HAVING TO ADJUST THEIR SPENDING, THEY ARE HAVING TO THINK ABOUT MEETING THEIR MORTGAGE COSTS, SO IT IS WORKING. PART OF WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT IS HOW MONETARY POLICY WORKS ` AT SHIFTS THE MORTGAGE COSTS, THE INTEREST RATE COSTS, PEOPLE READJUST THEIR SPENDING DOWNLOADS, AND INFLATION COMES OUT. THE CONTINUOUS MOVES WE HAVE DONE, YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER, WE STARTED FROM A RECORD LOW PERIOD, BECAUSE OF A GLOBAL CRISIS CALLED THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. WE HAD TO LIFT RATES A LOT JUST TO GET BACK TO THE STARTING LINE, FROM BEING VERY EXPANSIONARY TO NOW ONLY STARTING TO BE CONTRACTIONARY AT THIS POINT. IT SHOWS THE SIZE OF THE SHOCKS WE HAVE HAD TO RIDE THERE IN NEW ZEALAND, AND WE HAVE READ IN THE EXTREMELY WELL. WE ARE IN THE LOWEST QUARTILE FOR INFLATION AND UNEMPLOYMENT INTERNATIONALLY. ALTHOUGH INFLATION IS STILL INCREDIBLY HIGH, YOU ARE EXPECTING THAT OCR TO CONTINUE TO RISE ` THAT IS WHERE THE QUESTION COMES IN ` IS THIS WORKING, AS THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL? OF COURSE THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. THIS IS A CYCLICAL TASK, WE MAY HAVE TO DO MORE WORK YET, BUT REMEMBER THAT WE ARE COMING FROM A VERY STRONG POSITION. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT RECORD LEVELS OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY. THE NUMBER ONE COMPLAINT FROM BUSINESSES IS THAT THEY CANNOT FIND ANYONE TO COME AND WORK, AND THAT WAGE RISES ARISING, AND THEY ARE FACING THESE COSTS CAN. THIS IS WHY WE ARE DOING THIS ACTIVITY TO ENABLE ONGOING BUSINESS ACTIVITY TO KEEP THAT LIGHT VERY BRIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. THIS IS BUSINESS AS USUAL. BUSINESS AS USUAL, ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT NECESSARILY GOING TO BE A WELCOME RELIEF TO HOMEOWNERS, AND THOSE WITH MORTGAGE RATES. ULTIMATELY, ARE WE STARING DOWN THE BARREL OF FORECLOSURES? AND WE STARING DOWN THE BARREL OF PEOPLE REALLY STRUGGLING TO PAY THEIR MORTGAGES IN THE NEXT 12 TO 18 MONTHS? I BELIEVE OUT THERE THERE WILL BE SOME PEOPLE WHO WILL BE VERY STRETCHED ` THOSE PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT AT THE PEAK OF HOUSING CYCLES WITH VERY LOW INTEREST RATES, AND SIGNIFICANT LOANS, WILL HAVE TO BE WORKING HARD TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY KEEP THE HOUSE, BUT THE BANKING SECTOR ITSELF, THEY HAVE NO INTEREST IN PEOPLE` TIPPING PEOPLE OUT OF HOUSES, OR HAVING THE KEYS ARRIVE BACK. MY ADVICE TO PEOPLE'S CALL YOUR BANK, TALK TO YOUR BANK ` THEY ARE THERE FOR THE LONG-TERM, THEY ARE HIGHLY LIQUID. THEY NEED TO BE LONG-TERM, AND ALREADY, THE NEW ZEALAND BANKERS ASSOCIATION HAVE SPOKEN PUBLICLY ABOUT SAYING, HEY, COME AND TALK TO US, WE HAVE INTEREST ONLY LOANS, WE HAVE MORTGAGE DEFERRALS ` THERE IS A WHOLE HOST OF THINGS THAT PEOPLE CAN DO, AND THAT THEY HAVE BEEN STRESS TESTED TO BE ABLE TO MANAGE THROUGH. SO JUST COMMUNICATE. YOU ARE NOW EXPECTING` YOU ARE NOW FORECASTING THAT THE RATE WILL CONTINUE TO RISE, PEAKING AT ABOUT FIVE POINT 5% NEXT YEAR, AND REMAINING AT THAT LEVEL FOR ABOUT 15 MONTHS ` IS THAT RIGHT? THAT IS A PROJECTION. THE GOOD NEWS AS WE UPDATE THOSE PROJECTIONS ON A REGULAR BASIS, AS THE FACTS CHANGE, SO DO OUR PROJECTIONS. THAT IS OUR BEST FOOT FORWARD AT THE MOMENT. THERE WILL BE A PERIOD OF INTEREST RATES AROUND FIVE AND A HALF PERCENT THE OFFICIAL CASH RATE, SO MORTGAGE RATES AROUND THE RATE THEY ARE NOW, AND THEY MAY HAVE TO BE SUSTAINED FOR A WHILE. IF WE DO NOT DO THAT, INFLATION WILL CONTINUE ON, AND IT WILL GROW, AND IT WILL GET WORSE, AND WE WILL HAVE PERMANENT UNEMPLOYMENT. WE WILL HAVE PERMANENT DISLOCATION GOING ON IN OUR ECONOMY. THIS IS A NATURAL PART ` WE HAVE BEEN GROWING TOO FAST AND WE NEED TO SLOW DOWN. SO BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES. IS A RECESSION COMING? WE ARE PREDICTING A PERIOD OF NEGATIVE GROWTH, SO THE LEVEL OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY TO DECLINE BY ABOUT 1%, OUR GDP OVER THE COURSE OF NEXT YEAR, BUT THAT IS IN AGGREGATE SPENDING ` THAT STILL LEAVES PER CAPITA SPENDING AT LEVELS THAT CAPRI COVID-19, IT STILL LEAVES A VERY HIGH LEVEL OF EMPLOYMENT AND PARTICIPATION, BUT SOME AIR HAS TO COME OUT OF THE ECONOMY. SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING ON THIS MORNING. THAT IS RESERVE BANK GOVERNOR ADRIAN ORR. ALSO AHEAD ` STRETCHING STAFF FURTHER. THE PROPOSAL TO CUT CO-PILOTS FROM FLIGHTS. BUT FIRST, WE'LL HAVE THE LATEST IN YOUR 6.30 NEWS, SPORT AND WEATHER. MORENA. IT HAS JUST GONE 6:30 AM. A HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN LAUNCHED AFTER A LOCAL DAIRY WORKER WAS STABBED AND KILLED IN THE AUCKLAND SUBURB OF SANDRINGHAM LAST NIGHT. FOR MORE, WE'RE JOINED BY TESSA PARKER, WHO IS AT THE SCENE. WHAT'S THE LATEST, TESSA? MORENA. THE DAIRY AND BUSINESS OWNERS ASSOCIATION HAS JUST RELEASED A STATEMENT CALLING THIS A SAD AND TRAGIC ACCIDENT. THEY HAVE ALSO PUT THE BLAME OF THIS EVENT ON THE GOVERNMENT. THEY ARE NOW CALLING FOR MORE POLICIES SO WE SEE CRIME LESSON IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND BETTER PROTECTION FOR SHOP WORKERS. BEHIND ME TO MY LEFT, POLICE ARE STILL AT THE SCENE. THEY WILL CALL HER AT 8 PM LAST NIGHT WHEN AN OFFENDER ENTERED THE DAIRY WITH A KNIFE AND FATALLY STABBED THE SHOP WORKER. 1 NEWS WAS AT THE SCENE AS IT UNFOLDED, AND WE WERE ABLE TO SPEAK TO SOME LOCAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS. PRETTY SCARY FOR EVERYONE AROUND, ESPECIALLY THOSE INVOLVED. I WALK TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY, AND IT IS SCARY TO FIND OUT THAT THIS HAPPENED AROUND THE CORNER. POLICE ARE REMAINING HERE ALL DAY. THE STREET IS CORDONED OFF. THERE ARE THREE SEPARATE FORENSIC TENTS SET UP. THEY ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT AND MORE IMPORTANTLY FIND OUT WHO DID IT. THANK YOU, TESSA. A MAN (27) IS SET TO APPEAR IN COURT TODAY FOLLOWING A FATAL HIT-AND-RUN IN WEST AUCKLAND. A WITNESS TOLD 1 NEWS A CAR APPEARED TO BE DRIVEN STRAIGHT INTO THE VICTIM AND A HANDGUN WAS PULLED AS THE CAR FLED THE SCENE. THE ALLEGED DRIVER WAS ARRESTED IN GLEN EDEN LAST NIGHT AND IS CHARGED WITH MURDER. POLICE ARE ASKING FOR ANYONE WHO MAY HAVE SEEN THE INCIDENT TO COME FORWARD. THE RESERVE BANK GOVERNOR SAYS THERE'S 'LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL' DESPITE PROJECTING NEW ZEALAND IS HEADING INTO A RECESSION NEXT YEAR. IT COMES AFTER THE OFFICIAL CASH RATE WAS HIKED 75 BASIS POINTS TO 4.25% YESTERDAY. ADRIAN ORR SAYS IT WAS A NECESSARY MOVE IN THE CURRENT ECONOMIC CLIMATE. WE HAVE EMPLOYMENT AT RECORD LEVELS. THE LABOUR FORCE PARTICIPATION IS AT RECORD LEVELS. AND WE HAVE GOT GLOBAL, INTERNATIONAL INFLATION. YOU MENTIONED THE DOMESTIC COMPONENTS, BUT FOOD AND ENERGY PRICES GLOBALLY AS WELL AS OUR OWN HOMEGROWN INFLATION IS ALL PUTTING PRESSURE ON PEOPLE. ADRIAN ORR SAYS THE RESERVE BANK SAYS THE CURRENT POLICY IS 'WORKING', AS PEOPLE SPEND LESS TO TACKLE INFLATION. PROTESTS HAVE ERUPTED AT THE WORLD'S BIGGEST APPLE iPHONE FACTORY IN THE CHINESE CITY OF ZHENGZHOU. VIDEOS SHOW HUNDREDS OF WORKERS MARCHING, THEN BEING CONFRONTED BY RIOT POLICE AND PEOPLE IN HAZMAT SUITS. SOME OF THE PROTESTERS WERE BEATEN AND DETAINED. REPORTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA SUGGEST THE DEMONSTRATIONS WERE ABOUT CONTRACT VIOLATIONS. LAST MONTH, THE SITE WAS LOCKED DOWN DUE TO RISING COVID CASES, PROMPTING SOME WORKERS TO BREAK OUT OF THE FACTORY. TO SPORT, AND THE HOSTILITY CONTINUES AT THE FOOTBALL WORLD CUP IN QATAR. GERMAN PLAYERS COVERED THEIR MOUTHS DURING THE TEAM PHOTO BEFORE THEIR MATCH AGAINST JAPAN IN RESPONSE TO FIFA'S BAN ON THE 'ONE LOVE' ARMBANDS. AND THE DANISH FOOTBALL FEDERATION WON'T SUPPORT FIFA BOSS GIANNI INFANTINO IF HE STANDS FOR RE-ELECTION, SAYING ITS DISAPPOINTED BY THE ACTIONS OF FOOTBALL'S GOVERNING BODY IN QATAR. I THINK A LOT OF HARM'S BEEN DONE TO FOOTBALL. I THINK FOOTBALL IS ABOUT UNITING THE WORLD. THIS IS A STATEMENT OF FIFA. I DO NOT THINK THE PRESS CONFERENCE THAT WAS GIVEN BY INFANTINO IS A UNITED WAY TO SPEAK TO SO MANY NATIONS. MY OWN EMOTIONS ARE I'M DISAPPOINTED ` I'M DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED. WE'VE BEEN ENGAGING WITH FIFA OVER A LONG TIME IN ORDER TO TRY TO HAVE THESE MESSAGES PROVES. IN THE ACTION ON THE PITCH, JAPAN HAS UPSET EUROPEAN POWERHOUSE GERMANY 2-1, WHILE SPAIN LEAD COSTA RISA 3-0. HERE'S YOUR BUSINESS MARKET UPDATE FOR THE MORNING. (UPBEAT MUSIC) I THINK WE MIGHT BE IN FOR A WET ONE THIS MORNING. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR WEATHER. TO THE TOP OF THE COUNTRY ` RAIN EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS WILL EASE TO SHOWERS, CONTINUING INTO THE AFTERNOON. 22s AND 20s THE HIGHS THROUGH HERE. HEADING SOUTH ` SIMILAR HERE. RAIN DEVELOPING EARLY, TURNING TO SHOWERS BY MIDDAY. SOME OF THESE FALLS MAY BE HEAVY. 19 THE HIGH FOR WHAKATANE. TO THE EAST COAST ` A CLOUDY DAY THROUGH HERE. YOU'LL ALL SEE SHOWERS DEVELOPING EARLY THIS MORNING. DANNEVIRKE AND MASTERTON, THOSE MAY BE HEAVIER FOR YOU. 22 THE HIGH FOR HASTINGS. OVER TO THE WEST ` A WINDY DAY WITH THE ODD SHOWER FOR WELLINGTON. THE REST OF YOU, RAIN AND WIND STARTING EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS WILL STICK AROUND FOR MOST, EASING FOR TAUMARUNUI. 16 THE HIGH FOR WELLINGTON. TO THE SOUTH ISLAND ` YOU'LL WANT TO GRAB A BROLLY. SHOWERS FOR MOST OF YOU THIS MORNING. BLENHEIM AND KAIKOURA, YOU'LL SEE THIS WET WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON. 15 THE HIGH FOR GREYMOUTH. HEADING SOUTH ` LOOKING MOSTLY FINE THIS MORNING. EXPECT SHOWERS TO DEVELOP LATER THIS AFTERNOON. 20 THE HIGH FOR CHRISTCHURCH. TO THE DEEP SOUTH ` A CLOUDY DAY WITH SHOWERS DEVELOPING EARLY THIS MORNING. THOSE SHOWERS WILL STICK AROUND THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON. 14 THE HIGH FOR GORE. QUEENSTOWN, 15 FOR YOU. NOT GREAT FLYING WEATHER PERHAPS. I AM NOT QUITE SURE, BUT WE HAVE AN EXPERT WITH US. AIRLINES AND INTERNATIONAL REGULATORS ARE PUSHING A PROPOSAL TO HAVE JUST ONE PILOT IN THE COCKPIT OF PASSENGER JETS INSTEAD OF TWO. MORE THAN 40 COUNTRIES, INCLUDING NEW ZEALAND, HAVE ASKED THE UNITED NATIONS BODY THAT SETS AVIATION STANDARDS TO HELP MAKE SINGLE-PILOT FLIGHTS A SAFE REALITY. BUT IT'S A HARD SELL TO BOTH PILOTS AND CUSTOMERS HERE. FOR MORE WE'RE JOINED BY AIRLINE PILOTS ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT CAPTAIN ANDREW RIDLING. MORENA. I AM NOT AN EXPERT, BUT THIS IS REALLY FRIGHTENING FOR ME. WHAT IS YOUR REACTION TO THIS? I THINK WE HAVE HAD SIMILAR REACTIONS. THE TRAVELLING PUBLIC HAS AS WELL. AUTOMATION IS A FANTASTIC ENHANCEMENT FOR SAFETY. IT HAS BEEN OVER MY 30 YEAR CAREER WHEN I LOOK BACK. BUT OWNER NOT THINK WE ARE THERE YET TO REMOVE THE PILOT FROM THE FLIGHT DECK TO ALLOW AN INDEPENDENT PERSON OR AN INDEPENDENT MACHINE TO TAKE OVER. JUST TO GET A PICTURE FOR ALL OF US TO UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS IN A COCKPIT, WHEN YOU HAVE TWO PILOTS, WHO IS DOING WHAT? AT ANY TIME, WITH A CRUISING, TAKING OFF OR LANDING, TWO PILOTS; ONE IS LOOKING AFTER THE COMPLEX SYSTEMS, OPERATING RADIOS AND NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEMS, AND THE OTHER PILOT IS FLYING THE AEROPLANE. WE HAVE A PHILOSOPHY THAT ONE PILOT MUST ALWAYS BUY THE AEROPLANE, AND FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. WE DISCUSSED THAT BETWEEN EACH OTHER PRIOR TO ANY SITUATION. ARE THE OTHER FLIGHTS AUTOMATED? A LOT OF TECHNOLOGY MOVES ON, LIKE IT HAS OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS. 30 YEARS AGO WE WERE TALKING ON THE WIRELESS FROM OLD WORLD WAR II AND I CAN PICK THE PHONE UP AND TALK TO YOU ON THE COUCH HERE. THINGS HAVE MOVED ON A LONG WAY. THE TECHNOLOGY IS INCREDIBLE, BUT DO WE KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY THAT THEY ARE PROPOSING, OR IS IT STILL IN DEVELOPMENT? I THINK THEY ARE SAYING IT IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT, BUT IT IS CERTAINLY NOT MATURE ENOUGH TO BE PUT ON BORDER PASSENGER AIRCRAFT. I THINK IT WAS EVIDENT DURING THE 737 MAX INCIDENTS WITH LION AIR AND ETHIOPIAN, THE LOSS OF 189 PEOPLE AND LION NOW, AND HUNDRED 57 I THINK AND ETHIOPIAN WITH THE MAX, AND IT WAS FLIGHT CONTROL COMPUTER SYSTEMS THAT WAS INTRODUCED BY BOEING THAT THE PILOTS HAVE NO CONTROL OVER. WHEN YOU FIRST STARTED IN YOUR CAREER, HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE ON THE CARPET THEN? WHEN I FIRST STARTED, WE MOVED ON FROM THE NAVIGATOR, WE HAD A FLIGHT ENGINEER STILL, SO WE HAD TWO PILOTS AND A FLIGHT ENGINEER. PRIOR TO THAT, NAVIGATOR AND OTHER ENGINEERS AS WELL. LOTS OF CHANGES, SO EVEN WITH THE UPDATED TECHNOLOGY, WE ARE STILL SEEN CASES LIKE THE ONE YOU JUST MENTIONED WE'RE THE COMPUTER SYSTEMS FAIL. ABSOLUTELY. THAT IS WHAT THE SECOND PILOT IS BETTER LOOK AFTER, THAT IS WHAT WE TRAMPLE ON THE SIMULATORS. HAVE YOU HEARD FROM ANY AVIATION SAFETY WORKERS ON THE THOUGHTS OF THIS? THEY THINK IT MIGHT BE VIABLE? THE PILOTING COMMUNITY WHICH WE ARE PART OF, THERE IS A NATIONAL FEDERATION OF AIRLINE PILOTS, THEY HAVE ALSO MADE OUR REPRESENTATIONS, AND WE DO NOT THINK THIS IS GOING TO WORK FOR A VERY LONG TIME. THEY ARE THINKING ABOUT 2027, THEY THINK THAT IS WHEN THIS COULD COME INTO PLACE IN TERMS OF SAFETY. WHAT ASSURANCES WOULD YOU NEED AS A PILOT TO ACCEPT THIS GOING FORWARD? THERE WOULD HAVE TO BE A LOT MORE WORK AND RESEARCH DONE INTO IT. OUR EXPECTATION IS THE NEW TECHNOLOGY WOULD BE INTRODUCED ONTO THE FLIGHT DECK FOR THE USE OF BOTH PILOTS. LET'S KEEP THE TWO PILOTS WHERE THEY ARE RATHER THAN DENIGRATE THE SYSTEM BY REMOVING THE PILOT COMPLETELY AND PUTTING IN A NEW COMPUTER SYSTEM. LET'S WORK WITH THE SYSTEM FIRST, THEN LOOK AT HOW WE REMOVE THE PILOTS IF WE NEED TO. DOES IT PERHAPS MAKE WAY FOR A LITTLE BIT OF ROOM FOR CHANGE A SCENARIO IN TERMS OF THOSE LONG HAUL FLIGHT, CAN THEY DO A BIT OF SHIFT LIKE ONE PILOT TAKE HALF OF THE FLIGHT, THE OTHER PILOT TAKE THE SECOND, BUT THERE ARE TWO PILOTS THERE STILL. THEY ARE STILL RUNNING THE MULTIPLE COMPLEX ESTIMATES DURING THOSE LONG HAUL FLIGHTS. SOMEBODY STILL HAS TO FLY THE AEROPLANE AROUND THE WEATHER, MAKE SURE IT IS AT THE APPROPRIATE LEVELS, LOOKING UP OTHER AIRCRAFT AS WELL AS STILL RUNNING THE SYSTEMS WITHIN THE AIRCRAFT. A MODERN AIRLINER WILL HAVE MULTIPLE REDUNDANCY SYSTEMS, INCLUDING PILOTS. WE HAVE TWO ENGINES, SIX GENERATIONS, THREE COMPUTER SYSTEMS, TO DRIVE THAT DOWN TO ONE PILOT, I THINK WE HAVE GOT THE WRONG END OF THE MIX. IT SOUNDS CRAZY. I AM NOT A PILOT OR AN EXPERT, BUT JUST THINKING ABOUT IT SOUNDS CRAZY IN TERMS OF THAT ONE PERSON BEING RESPONSIBLE TO MANAGE ALL OF THAT, EVEN WITH THE TECHNOLOGY. ULTIMATELY, IT IS ABOUT COST, EVEN IN THE STATEMENTS WE HAVE READ, SAVING MONEY IS ON STAFFING REQUIREMENTS WITH THE SECTOR THAT HAS BEEN HIT HARD BY COVID AS WELL, BUT IT COULD COST LIVES. WHAT WOULD YOUR MESSAGE BE TO THE CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY HERE IN TERMS OF NEW ZEALAND CONSIDERING THIS? WHEN IT WAS FIRST PUT UP A MONTH AGO, COST IS THE DRIVER. WHAT IS THE COST OF SAFETY? HOW FAR DO YOU DRIVE THINGS DOWN? THERE NEEDS TO BE A PROCESS AND A SYSTEM. AS A MOMENT, WE HAVE TWO PILOTS ON THE FLIGHT DECK, WELL-TRAINED AND WELL RESTED. WE HAVE GOT THAT, AND WE ARE ALSO. AVIATION IS ALWAYS HAD ITS NUMBER ONE TENANT IS SAFETY. I FEEL LIKE WE MAY BE SHIFTING A LITTLE BIT TOO FAR. THERE IS A COST TO SAFETY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR JOINING US THIS MORNING. I GUESS WE'LL JUST HAVE TO SEE HOW THE DISCUSSIONS COME ABOUT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS AT LEAST. BUT WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR FEEDBACK ON THIS. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT IT AS A FLYER, AS A PASSENGER, HAVING ONE PARLOUR TO MANAGE FLIGHTS INSTEAD OF TO WHICH WE CURRENTLY HAVE. EMAIL US ON BREAKFAST@TVNZ.CO.NZ COMING UP ` IS IT GOOD KARMA? NEXT, WE'RE GETTING A LOOK AT THE ETHICAL SOFT DRINK BRAND THAT WON BIG AT THE SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS AWARDS. # KARMA IS MY BOYFRIEND. # KARMA IS A GOD. WELCOME BACK TO BREAKFAST.

I WANT TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE STORY BEHIND KARMA BECAUSE YOU ARE CELEBRATING 10 YEARS. YOU ACTUALLY GOT YOUR START AND BANANAS. YES, WE STARTED ALL GOOD BANANAS, AND STILL DO THAT, BRING IN THE FIRST FAIR TRADE NEW ZEALAND BANANAS. THAT IS GREAT, AND THEN WE PIVOTED INTO SOFT DRINKS, AND WE WANTED TO CREATE THE MOST ETHICAL SOFT DRINK, AND TO USE ORGANIC AND FAIR TRADE INGREDIENTS, AND GREAT TASTING DRINKS. THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF EVERYTHING YOU HAVE WANTED TO DO, THE SUSTAINABLE, ETHICAL KIND OF SUPPLY CHAIN? ABSOLUTELY. EVERYTHING GOES THROUGH THAT LENS, AND SO WE MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE LOOKING AFTER OUR SUPPLIERS, WE ARE LOOKING AFTER THE PLANET, AND WE ARE PRODUCING HEALTHY DRINKS FOR PEOPLE. YOU WERE DOING THIS BEFORE IT REALLY BECAME A BIG CONVERSATION FOR A LOT OF BUSINESSES TO DO. WHY WAS IT SO IMPORTANT FOR YOU EARLY ON IN YOUR CAREER? I THINK WE WANTED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, AND WE WANTED TO DO THE BEST THAT WE COULD, AND IT JUST MADE SENSE TO US, AND WE REALLY ENJOYED IT, AND WE THINK THAT CONSUMERS ARE WANTING TO SUPPORT THOSE BUSINESSES THEY REALLY MAKE AN EFFORT AND SUSTAINABILITY. ARE YOU NOTICING THAT A LOT MORE ` THAT CONSUMERS ARE REALLY MAKING A CONSCIOUS EFFORT TO BUY SUSTAINABLE, TO BUY ETHICAL? ABSOLUTELY. THEY SAY THE ISSUES WE ARE FACING WITH CLIMATE CHANGE AND IN EQUITY, SO THEY WANT TO SUPPORT COMPANIES THAT GO THE EXTRA MILE AND ALIGN WITH THEIR VALUES. TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS. WHAT IS IT ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS THAT MAKES A SUSTAINABLE AND MAKES IT ETHICAL? WE ARE CERTIFIED ORGANIC. WE ARE CERTIFIED FAIR TRADE. SO WE ARE LOOKING AFTER THOSE WITH THE LEAST VOICE, THE GROWERS, AND ALSO JUST RECENTLY, WE BECAME B CORP CERTIFIED WITH THE HIGHEST RATING IN NEW ZEALAND. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? IT IS AN OVERALL SUSTAINABILITY CERTIFICATION THAT TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION SOCIAL, ENVIRONMENTAL AND FINANCIAL IMPACTS. TALK TO ME ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS IN TERMS OF THE REAL-WORLD IMPLICATIONS WHEN WE ARE THINKING ABOUT THE GROWERS, THE PEOPLE THAT YOU ARE BUYING THE PRODUCTS FROM, WHAT IS IT MEAN FOR THEM? IT MEANS THE GROWERS ARE GETTING A FAIR PRICE. THAT IS WHAT FAIR TRADE IS ABOUT. THAT THEY ARE MEETING THEIR SUSTAINABLE NEEDS SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE A FEAR STANDARD OF LIVING. AND THEN WITH THE ENVIRONMENT, WE ARE CERTIFIED ORGANIC, SO WE ARE MAKING SURE THAT THE FOOD THAT WE PUT INTO OUR PRODUCTS, THE INGREDIENTS ARE HEALTHY AND THEY HAVE NOT HAD TOXIC HERBICIDES OR PESTICIDES. WE ARE TRYING TO HAVE THAT HOLISTIC APPROACH TO PRODUCING A SOFT DRINK. DO YOU THINK CONSUMERS WOULD BE SHOCKED TO KNOW JUST HOW UNFAIRLY SOME OF THOSE GROWERS ARE PAID? YES. IT IS OFTEN, THEY ARE SILENT. WE DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO IT. BUT IT IS JUST A COMMODITY. SO IF THERE IS AN OVERSUPPLY OF AN INGREDIENT, THEN THEY WILL GET PAID NEXT TO NOTHING. SO IT IS VERY UNSUSTAINABLE. SIERRA LEONE IS WHERE YOU GET A LOT OF YOUR INGREDIENTS. IT IS A GREAT STORY. WE KNOW THAT THERE IS OVER A BILLION COLAS DRUNK EVERY DAY AND 99% OF THEM CONTAIN BUT WHICH IS THE STORY BEHIND KOHLER. WE WENT TO SIERRA LEONE WITH A COLON AT IS GROWN, AND WE HAVE SET UP A KARMA COLA FOUNDATION THAT SUPPORTS THE GROWERS THERE. IN PARTICULAR WE ARE ABOUT EDUCATING YOUNG WOMEN, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT IF YOU EDUCATE WOMEN IT IS THE FASTEST WAY TO BRING A COMMUNITY OUT OF POVERTY. BEAUTIFUL. YOU MUST BE VERY PROUD OF THE WORK THAT YOU AND THE TEAM DO. IT IS FANTASTIC. IT IS GREAT TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS NETWORK. WE HAD A GREAT NIGHT LAST NIGHT. AMAZING. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO BUSINESSES? AS YOU SAY, A LOT MORE BUSINESSES ARE THINKING ABOUT THIS NOW, AND THEY WANT TO MAKE THE EFFORT TO BE SUSTAINABLE AND ETHICAL. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO THEM IN TERMS OF HOW THEY MAKE THAT LEAP AND CHANGE? I THINK GO AND TALK TO OTHER BUSINESSES THAT HAVE DONE IT. I THINK KIWI BUSINESS OWNERS ARE REALLY GENEROUS AND HAPPY TO GIVE ADVICE AND TO HELP PEOPLE ALONG. AND I THINK IT IS A REALLY GOOD BUSINESS DECISION, BECAUSE ACTUALLY CONSUMERS ARE SEEKING OUT PEOPLE THAT ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. CONGRATULATIONS. I LOVE THE LEMONADE, BY THE WAY. THAT IS CHRIS MORRISON, THE FOUNDER OF KARMA DRINKS. CHEERS. STAY WITH US. WE'VE GOT YOUR NEWS, SPORT AND WEATHER NEXT. THEN LATER ` OVERWHELMED AND UNDER PRESSURE ` ALL IN A DAYS WORK FOR GENERAL PRACTICES ACROSS AOTEAROA. WE HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS CONVERSATION ALL WEEK, AND WE'RE HEARING FROM ONE NEXT. - One minute, you're trying to get more light in the room. (CRASH!) The next, you've got a skylight. - (GRUNTS) - Luckily, you're with Tower, New Zealand's General Insurer of the Year, meaning your house, contents, and car are all covered. Plus, you can save on any eligible policy you buy online. - At least the car's fine. (CHUCKLES WEAKLY) (BEEPING) (CRASH!) Oh! - Hey, uh... (CLEARS THROAT) Jimmy, you're riding with Rodney. - Far out. Big Rod, eh? - Hop in, mate. Don't worry about these bumholes! - (CHUCKLES) - Nah, they're good guys. Hey, let's take the scenic route, eh? It's longer, but I make it fun. (ENGINE ROARS) That's why the guys, they do 'paper scissors rock' to see who comes with me. - Oh, cos no one wants to go with that other dude you guys work with, eh? - Who, Grubby Aaron? - Oh, nah, you know, the guy that's always gunning it. - Eh? # I WANT THE DINOSAUR, # I WANT THE DINOSAUR. MORENA OTAUTAHI. LOOKING LOVELY IN CHRISTCHURCH. THERE WILL BE A FEW SHOWERS FOR YOU THIS AFTERNOON, YOU CAN SEE SOME CLOUD, BUT NOT TOO BAD OF A MORNING. CURRENTLY ABOUT 12DEGREES. YOUR HIGH IS 20. CANTERBURY REGION HAS BEEN PRETTY GOOD ALL WEEK. BARBARA AND PETER SOUND LIKE YOUR AVERAGE MIDDLE-AGED COUPLE, BUT THE TWO T-REX SKELETONS NOW RESIDING AT AUCKLAND MUSEUM ARE SO MUCH MORE. AUCKLAND REPORTER TESSA PARKER IS ALREADY CHUMMY WITH PETER, WHO ARRIVED IN APRIL, SO YESTERDAY SHE WENT ALONG TO THE MUSEUM TO MEET THE BRAND-NEW BARB. TAKE A LOOK. (ORCHESTRAL MUSIC) WE ALL REMEMBER WHEN PETER T REX ARRIVED AT AUCKLAND MUSEUM ` THAT IS BECAUSE HE CAUSE A LITTLE BIT OF A STIR. I ASK YOU, WHAT IS BETTER THAN ONE TREC SKELETON? OF COURSE, TO T REX SKELETONS. THIS IS BARBARA. WE ARE JOINED BY DR DAVID FROM AUCKLAND MUSEUM. HOW GOOD IS BARBARA? BARBARA IS FANTASTIC. SHE IS ONE OF ONLY THREE SUBSTANTIALLY PRESERVED ADULT FEMALE T REX SKELETONS IN THE WORLD, AND WE ARE VERY LUCKY TO BRING TOGETHER WITH PETER, AND THIS IS GOING TO BE FANTASTIC FOR US. THIS IS A UNIQUE SITUATION, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD THAT A MALE AND FEMALE T-REX HAVE BEEN DISPLAYED TOGETHER. SHE IS NOT A SMALL SKELETON, AS SHE? SHE IS BIG. SHE IS A FULL ADULT, THESE ARE REALLY BIG ANIMALS, AND SHE IS QUITE SUBSTANTIALLY BIGGER THAN PETER. SHE MIGHT HAVE BEEN A BIT OLDER, SHE IS ALSO FEMALE, AND THE FEMALE T-REXS MAY WELL HAVE BEEN LARGER THAN THE MALES. WE ONLY HAVE ABOUT 25 WELL PRESERVED ADULT SKELETONS IN THE WORLD. IT IS MIND BLOWING, BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK UP AT THEM, YOU CANNOT IMAGINE THEM WALKING THE EARTH. I IMAGINE THEM JUST STROLLING IN THE DOMAIN. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT BARBARA, WHAT HAVE WE LEARNT FROM THESE BONES? THE MOST INTERESTING THING WE FOUND OUT ABOUT HER WAS THAT SHE HAD A SERIOUS INJURY IN HER FOOT BONE ` THE METATARSAL ` VERY BADLY DAMAGED, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CAUSE OF INJURY WAS, BUT THAT WOULD HAVE REALLY IMPEDED HER MOBILITY FOR QUITE A LONG TIME. SHE SURVIVED THIS, AND SHE IS SURVIVED LONG ENOUGH TO MATE, BECAUSE WE KNOW FROM LOOKING AT THE BONE MATERIAL, THAT SHE WAS A FEMALE, AND SHE WAS PROBABLY ABOUT TO LAY EGGS. THAT MEANS THAT SHE WAS INJURED, BUT SURVIVED LONG ENOUGH TO MATE. THAT IS QUITE INTERESTING IMPLICATIONS FOR WHETHER SHE WAS PART OF A PACK, WHETHER SHE MANAGED TO SCAVENGE OTHER CARCASSES, OR WHETHER THE PACK FED HER. THAT IS A UNIQUE FEATURE OF THE STORY, BARBARA'S STORY. BARBARA IS TRULY A STRONG WOMAN. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL PREDATORS AND THIS LATE DINOSAUR ERA THERE WERE PROBABLY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OR MILLIONS OF THEM AROUND THE WORLD, THEY WERE THE APEX PREDATOR, VERY SUCCESSFUL ANIMAL ` 100 MILLION YEARS OF EVOLUTION TO SEE WHAT YOU SEE NOW, AND THEN WE SEE THE DINOSAUR EXTINCTION ABOUT 65 MILLION YEARS AGO, AND THEY DO NOT EXIST ANY MORE. WE ARE OPEN, THIS IS ON OPEN DISPLAY, EVERYBODY CAN WATCH THE ASSEMBLY, THAT IS QUITE EXCITING ` WHERE ELSE WOULD YOU SEE A FULL ADULT T-REX DINOSAUR BEING ASSEMBLED IN A MUSEUM? THIS IS UNIQUE. IF ANYONE WANTS TO COME AND WATCH, THEY ARE WELCOME. IT WILL BE COMPLETE AT LEAST BY 2 DECEMBER. YOU GUYS HEARD THAT, IF YOU WANT TO COME THROUGH TO AUCKLAND MUSEUM, IT IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, COME AND CHECK OUT OLD BARBARA AND PETE HANGING OUT TOGETHER. THEY LOOK FABULOUS. THEY DO LOOK FABULOUS. THE KIDS LOVE IT. PETE AND BARB. WE HAVE BEEN COVERING THIS ALL WEEK ` MORE THAN 1000 GPS PUT OUT A LETTER TO THE HEALTH MINISTER, HIGHLIGHTING JUST HOW DESPERATE THE SITUATION IS, IN TERMS OF THE APPOINTMENT WAIT TIMES AND BEING UNDERSTAFFED AND UNDER RESOURCED. WE ARE GOING TO COVER THAT AFTER THE NEWS AND WEATHER. HERE IS JENNY WITH YOUR NEWS. A HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION'S BEEN LAUNCHED AFTER A WORKER WAS STABBED AND KILLED IN A DAIRY IN THE AUCKLAND SUBURB OF SANDRINGHAM LAST NIGHT. FOR MORE, WE'RE JOINED BY TESSA PARKER, WHO IS AT THE SCENE. WHAT'S THE LATEST, TESSA? MORENA. AS YOU CAN SEE BEHIND ME, POLICE ARE STILL OUTSIDE THE SANDRINGHAM DAIRY, THEY WERE CALLED HERE AT 8 PM LAST NIGHT WHEN AN OFFENDER ENTERED THE DAIRY WITH A KNIFE AND FATALLY STABBED A STORE WORKER. THE DAIRY AND BUSINESS ASSOCIATION HAVE CALLED THIS A SAD AND TRAGIC ACCIDENT, BUT THEY HAVE BLAMED THIS EVENT ON THE GOVERNMENT, SAYING THEY NEED TO BE TOUGH ON CRIME AND BETTER PROTECT STORE AND DAIRY WORKERS. I SPOKE TO A LOCAL RESIDENT JUST BEFORE, AND SHE SHARES THE SAME SENTIMENT ` WE HAD INCIDENTS WHERE OUR FRIENDS HAD BEEN BASHED BY BASEBALL BATS, AND THIS WAS CHILDREN DOING IT TO THEM. AND WE HAVE HAD TO LIVE THROUGH THAT AS WELL. WE HAVE LIVED THROUGH MANY INCIDENTS THAT WE HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO, AND THAT IS WHY MY PARENTS DECIDED, AND MY BROTHERS DECIDED THAT THEY NEEDED TO GET RID OF OUR SHOP. WE HAD IT FOR 18 YEARS AND MOUNT EDEN. LOCALS SHOT BY NOT ONLY THIS INCIDENT, BUT A SLATE OF CRIME RECENTLY. LOOKING FORWARD TO TODAY, POLICE WILL CONTINUE THEIR SCENE EXAMINATIONS AND TALK TO WITNESSES. THEY WILL BE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT, AND IDENTIFY WHO THE OFFENDER WAS. THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE. THE RESERVE BANK GOVERNOR SAYS THE ECONOMY IS RUNNING 'EXTREMELY HOT' AND A RECESSION IS LIKELY NEXT YEAR. IT COMES AS THE OFFICIAL CASH RATE HAS BEEN BUMPED UP 75 BASIS POINTS TO 4.25%. ADRIAN ORR SAYS THE CONTINUOUS INCREASES ARE A RESPONSE TO THE 'SHOCKS' NEW ZEALAND'S ECONOMY HAS HAD TO RIDE THROUGH. YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER ` WE STARTED FROM A RECORD LOW PERIOD, BECAUSE OF OUR GLOBAL CRISIS CALLED THE COVID PANDEMIC, SO WE HAD TO LIFT RATES A LOT JUST TO GET BACK TO THE START LINE, YOU KNOW, FROM BEING VERY EXPANSIONARY TO NOW ONLY STARTING TO BE CONTRACTIONARY AT THIS POINT. INFLATION REMAINS AT 7.2%. SERIOUS CONCERNS HAVE BEEN RAISED AROUND THE COLLECTION OF SENSITIVE BIOMETRIC INFORMATION OF CUSTOMERS BY SUPERMARKET CHAIN FOODSTUFFS. CONSUMER NEW ZEALAND'S INVESTIGATED THE COMPANY'S USE OF FACIAL RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY TO SCAN SHOPPER'S FACES. FOODSTUFFS CAME UNDER FIRE IN 2018 FOR ITS INTRODUCTION, BUT LABELLED ITS USE A TRIAL. MANY NEW ZEALANDERS WOULD BE VERY SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THAT WHEN THEY VISIT A PAK'NSAVE OR NEW WORLD OR POTENTIALLY A FOUR SQUARE STORE IN NEW ZEALAND, THEIR BIOMETRIC DATA IS BEING RECORDED BY THE COMPANY THAT OWNS THOSE STORES AND USED, THEY'VE TOLD US, FOR CRIME PREVENTION PURPOSES. WE HAVE QUITE A LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT THAT. FOODSTUFFS NORTH ISLAND CURRENTLY HAS 29 STORES USING FACIAL RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY. TO SPORT, AND JAPAN HAVE BEATEN GERMANY 2-1 AT THE FOOTBALL WORLD CUP ` THEIR FIRST-EVER VICTORY OVER THE FOUR-TIME TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS. GERMANY DOMINATED FOR MOST OF THE MATCH, HOLDING A 1-0 LEAD UP UNTIL THE 74TH MINUTE BEFORE JAPAN MOUNTED A COMEBACK. THAT WOULD HAVE DENIED US THIS GREAT FINISH. LOVELY TOUCH THERE! THE STORY DEVELOPS! AND SPAIN IS MAKING A STATEMENT IN THEIR OPENING MATCH, BEATING COSTA RICA 7-0. HERE'S YOUR BUSINESS MARKET UPDATE FOR THE MORNING. AND TAKING A LOOK AT YOUR WEATHER THIS MORNING. PROBABLY WILL NOT NEED TO WATER THE GARDEN TODAY. TO THE TOP OF THE COUNTRY ` RAIN EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS WILL EASE TO SHOWERS, CONTINUING INTO THE AFTERNOON. 22s AND 20s THE HIGHS THROUGH HERE. HEADING SOUTH ` SIMILAR HERE. RAIN DEVELOPING EARLY, TURNING TO SHOWERS BY MIDDAY. SOME OF THESE FALLS MAY BE HEAVY. 19 THE HIGH FOR WHAKATANE. TO THE EAST COAST ` A CLOUDY DAY THROUGH HERE.

THOSE SHOWERS WILL STICK AROUND THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON. 14 THE HIGH FOR GORE. THANKS JENNY. THIS MORNING, HEALTH MINISTER ANDREW LITTLE IS EXPECTED TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT OUTSIDE WHANGAREI HOSPITAL WITH THE LAUNCH OF A NEW INITIATIVE. AND IT COMES ON THE BACK OF A CAMPAIGN LAUNCH AND OPEN LETTER TO THE MINISTER BY MORE THAN 1000 GPs THIS WEEK, WHO SAY FAMILY DOCTOR SERVICES ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF SUPPORT. WE'VE HEARD FROM MANY OF YOU OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS ABOUT THE SHOCKING WAIT TIMES YOU'VE EXPERIENCED WHEN TRYING TO GET MEDICAL HELP AT YOUR LOCAL GP ` YOUR WAIT TIMES RANGED FROM TWO WEEKS TO TWO MONTHS. DR TORRANCE MERKLE OF HOBSONVILLE FAMILY DOCTORS IS WITH US TO GIVE US AN INSIGHT INTO HOW DIRE THE SITUATION IS ON THE GROUND. MORENA, DR MERKLE. THANKS FOR BEING WITH US. MORENA. FIRST OF ALL, I AM GOING TO ASK YOU ABOUT YOUR STAFFING ` WHAT THAT IS LIKE, BUT I ALSO WANTED TO GET A PICTURE OF WHAT IS A DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE GP? WHAT DOES YOUR NORMAL WORK DAY LOOK LIKE FOR YOU AND YOUR STAFF? I WILL START WAS TALKING ABOUT OUR STAFFING ISSUES IN OUR CLINIC. WE ARE LUCKY, WE ARE IN A NICE AREA, WE HAVE AN AMAZING TEAM. FOR EXAMPLE, LAST YEAR, ONE OF OUR GPS RETIRED, ONE MOVED BACK HOME TO EUROPE WITH HER FAMILY, AND WE DID MANAGE TO HIRE ANOTHER GP LAST YEAR, WHICH WAS... GPS ARE LIKE HENS TEETH AT THE MOMENT. THIS YEAR, GP MOVED TO MELBOURNE WITH HER FAMILY, AND THEN WE HAD A GP MOVE TO TAURANGA, SO THIS YEAR, WE WOULD NORMALLY HAVE` WE HAVE FIVE CLINIC ROOMS, AND IF WE DIVIDE THE DAY UP INTO A MORNING OR AN AFTERNOON SESSION, WE WOULD HAVE` TWO YEARS AGO, WE HAD 45, 46 HALF DAYS OF DOCTORS SEEING PATIENTS PER WEEK ` OVER THIS YEAR, BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN SHORT, WE HAVE ONLY BEEN RUNNING ON ABOUT 35 TO 36 HALF DAYS OF DOCTORS PER WEEK. WHERE WE WOULD PREVIOUSLY BE ABLE TO SEE PEOPLE WITHIN OCCASIONALLY THE SAME DAY, BUT USUALLY WITHIN 24:48 HOURS, THAT IS NOW ON AVERAGE ABOUT 45 DAYS. THE IMPACT OF THAT IS THAT WHEN PEOPLE... DO COME IN, SOMETIMES THEY HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN BETTER FROM WHATEVER THEY INITIALLY BOOKED THEIR POINT CORRECTION: APPOITNMENT FOR ALL WHATEVER THEY STARTED WITH HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND IT HAS GOTTEN FURTHER DOWN THE LINE IT IS MORE COMPLEX TO TREAT. YOU HAVE LOST FOUR GPS ` YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REPLACE ONE. WE ARE SUPER LUCKY. WE HAVE MANAGED OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS OF RECRUITING, WE HAVE MANAGED TO HIRE ANOTHER GP STARTING IN JANUARY, AND ONE FEBRUARY. WE ARE SO LUCKY. THAT IS LIKELY RIGHT NOW. WE DID NOT EVEN EXPECT THAT TO HAPPEN. WE ARE IN A REALLY COOL, GROWING AREA OF AUCKLAND. WE ARE LUCKY. BUT I CAN IMAGINE THAT IN RURAL OR SMALLER COMMUNITIES, IT WOULD BE EVEN HARDER. IN TERMS OF OUR NURSING STAFF ` MOST OF OUR RECENT HIRES HAVE BEEN FROM THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, FROM NURSES THAT HAVE BEEN BURNT OUT FROM WORKING THERE, AND ONE FROM WORKING IN A REST HOME. SO THEY ARE NOT NEW NURSES GOING INTO GENERAL PRACTICE, WE ARE REALLY JUST MOVING PEOPLE AROUND THE SYSTEM. WHICH IS GOOD FOR US, AND WE ARE SUPER LUCKY, BUT BECAUSE THE PIPELINE OF PEOPLE COMING IN IS NOT THERE, AND THE OUTFLOW OF PEOPLE RETIRING OR MOVING HOME TO THEIR FAMILIES, AND I'M PRETTY SURE THAT IN THE NEXT 5 TO 10 YEARS, PROBABLY, IT WILL HALF OUR GENERAL PRACTITIONERS. WE WILL TRY NOT TO LET HIM ESCAPE, BUT HE WILL WANT TO TRY AND RETIRE IN OUR PRACTICE. AND FOR OUR NURSING, WE ALSO LOST A NURSE WHO GOT RECRUITED BY A RECRUITER IN MELBOURNE, WERE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER PAY. WHEN WE TRIED TO RECRUIT ANOTHER NURSE, THE FIRST AD WE PUT UP WE ONLY GOT ONE APPLICANT. FROM SUCCESSIVE ADS, WE HAVE MANAGED TO HIRE SOMEONE AWESOME, BUT IT IS JUST GETTING STAFF IS A STRUGGLE. IS YOUR CURRENT PRACTICE SUSTAINABLE? NO. IT IS A REALLY FINE BALANCE BETWEEN PUSHING YOURSELF, I AM IN MY MID-THIRTIES, I AM PROPERLY GOING TO BE` THIS IS MY CLINIC, I WILL BE IN MY CLINIC ROOM FOR THE NEXT 30 YEARS ` WE CANNOT WORK` YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT SUSTAINABLE. AND THEN WHEN COMPARED TO A HOSPITAL COLLEAGUES, WE ARE EARNING 25 TO 30% LESS THAN THEM. AND WE ARE DOING ONE, TWO, THREE HOURS OF UNPAID ADMIN AND PAPERWORK TIME PER DAY. WE DO IT BECAUSE IT IS IMPORTANT, AND WE KNOW THE PATIENT THAT WE ARE LOOKING AFTER, AND WE WANT TO OFFER THE BEST CARE THAT WE CAN. IT IS A LOT. WE HAVE BEEN HEARING THIS FROM A LOT OF PEOPLE. I WANT TO GO BACK TO YOUR 10 YEARS INTO THIS CAREER ` WHY DID YOU FIRST WANT TO BECOME A DOCTOR? I... THAT IS A TRICKY` KIND OF JUST HAPPENED. I HAD A MENTAL AT THE TIME YOU SAID THE SABIA REALLY GOOD THING FOR YOU I WAS INTERESTED IN SCIENCE. I GOT INTO MEDICAL SCHOOL, AND I THOUGHT THIS IS FANTASTIC. USING YOUR SKILLS BOTH IN SCIENCE AND IN THE ARTS AND COMMUNICATION TO UNDERSTAND PEOPLE, A LOT OF PROBLEM-SOLVING. PEOPLE BRING US PROBLEMS AND WE TRY TO SOLVE THEM THE BEST WAY WE CAN. IT WAS ACTUALLY MY FIRST FOURTH-YEAR MED SCHOOL ATTACHMENT, I WAS IN A RURAL CLINIC IN GISBORNE, WHICH IS WHERE GPS NEED TO BE EXPOSED TO GENERAL PRACTICE EARLY ON IN TRAINING, AND IN THAT FIRST WEEK, I THOUGHT, YES, THIS IS THAT. PATIENTS WHO HAD BEEN SEEING THEIR DOCTORS FOR 20 YEARS, THEY KNOW THE AMENDMENT LEAVE, THEY KNOW THEIR WHOLE WHANAU, THE KIDS, THEY ARE GRANDPARENTS, THERE IS A MAGIC AND THAT. MY HUSBAND HAD THE SAME DOCTOR SINCE HE WAS A BABY UP UNTIL 30. THEY KNOW YOU, THEY KNOW YOUR ISSUES INTIMATELY. IN THE CURRENT STATE IT IS NOW, WOULD YOU RECOMMEND PEOPLE TO BECOME GPS? (SIGHS) FIVE YEARS AGO, PROBABLY STILL YES, BUT AT THE MOMENT, UNLESS THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT, IT IS NOT SUSTAINABLE. LOOKING FORWARD, UNLESS CHANGE HAPPENS, WE KNOW THAT IN 10 YEARS, HALF OF OUR GPS WILL RETIRE, AND UNLESS SOMETHING BIG HAPPENS TO BRING MORE GPS TO CLINIC ROOMS, WE ARE GOING TO BE AN EVEN MORE OF A MESS. IN TERMS OF MY PARENTS ACCESSING CARE IN THAT TIME, EVEN BRINGING IN... OUR AGEING POPULATION. THINGS ARE GETTING MORE COMPLICATED. NOT JUST ABOUT PAY ` IT AS A VOCATION THAT WE GENERALLY WANT TO HELP PEOPLE. BUT MONEY DOES MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE, IN TERMS OF BOTH ATTRACTING PEOPLE TO GENERAL PRACTICE AND KEEPING THEM AND IT. AND WHAT KIND OF DOLLARS WOULD YOU PUT ON SAVING LIVES AND CHANGING LIVES, WHICH IS WHAT YOU DO EVERY DAY. SOMETIMES IT IS NOT THE FANCY SURGERIES, IT IS THE CONVERSATIONS, THE PREVENTION, THE CONNECTION... ABSOLUTELY. DR MERKLE, YOU HAVE AN HONOURABLE JOB, AND WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU DO. I AM HONOURED TO BE HERE. COMING UP AFTER THE BREAK ` THE KIWI FREE DIVER BREAKING WORLD RECORDS OPENS UP ABOUT THE MENTAL SKILLS BEHIND THE SPORT. Special K. Rise with us. (ENERGETIC MUSIC) Rise with: Rise with: Set goals then kick them. # YOU THINK THAT I'M STRONG. # YOU'RE WRONG. # YOU'RE WRONG. WELCOME BACK TO BREAKFAST. A NEW MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMME LAUNCHING TODAY IS USING SKILLS FROM ENDURANCE SWIMMING TO CALM PEOPLE'S MINDS. IT IS FASCINATING. ENDURANCE SWIMMER WILLIAM TRUBRIDGE WAS ON OUR SHOW LAST WEEK TO TELL US ABOUT YET ANOTHER WORLD RECORD HE SET. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THAT INTERVIEW HAD TO BE CUT SHORT DUE TO BREAKING NEWS, SO WE'RE TOUCHING BASE AGAIN AS HIS NEW VIDEO SERIES, 'THE MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM' KICKS OFF. HE CAUGHT UP WITH JENNY-MAY FROM OKINAWA, JAPAN. TO TALK ABOUT THE NEW PROGRAMME AND WHAT IT'S TAUGHT HIM. IT'S GOOD. YEAH, WE'RE HAVING, LIKE, A REALLY LATE SUMMER, SO IT'S BEEN SUPER-HOT HERE. OKINAWA'S RIGHT DOWN THE SOUTH END OF JAPAN, SO IT'S PRETTY MUCH TROPICAL, AND IT'S BEEN BEAUTIFUL. YEAH, HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN UP THERE? COS I KNOW THAT THE DESIRE IS TO COME BACK TO AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND, BUT HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN UP THERE? WELL, WE'RE KIND OF BASED BETWEEN HERE AND THE BAHAMAS. MY PARTNER'S FROM OKINAWA; WE HAVE TWO CHILDREN. BUT WE COME BACK TO NEW ZEALAND AS OFTEN AS WE CAN, AND BOTH OUR CHILDREN WERE BORN THERE. SO WE WERE JUST BACK FOR SIX MONTHS LAST YEAR FOR THE BIRTH OF OUR SECOND CHILD. GOSH. YEAH, THOSE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS ` I REMEMBER THEM WELL STILL, ACTUALLY. WILLIAM, CAN WE TALK ABOUT`? YOU'VE GOT A PROGRAMME THAT'S COMING OUT TODAY AROUND MINDFULNESS. AND, OBVIOUSLY, WITH THE DEEP DIVING THAT YOU DO, THIS IS A HUGELY IMPORTANT PART OF WHAT YOU DO TO KEEP YOURSELF SAFE ON A NUMBER OF LEVELS. SO TELL ME ABOUT THIS PROGRAMME. YEAH, IT IS DEVISED FROM THE SAME TECHNIQUES THAT I'VE DEVELOPED IN FREEDIVING. AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT FREEDIVING AS A SPORT, IT'S ALMOST LIKE A TEST TUBE EXPERIMENT IN STRESS OR ANXIETY MANAGEMENT, BECAUSE UNLIKE OTHER SPORTS, YOU CANNOT BE KIND OF LIKE... STRESSED OUT; YOU CAN'T CHANNEL THAT NERVOUS ENERGY THAT YOU GET BEFORE A PERFORMANCE INTO A BETTER PERFORMANCE. LIKE, A 100m RACE OR BOXING, YOU CAN KIND OF GET FIRED UP AND USE THAT ADRENALINE, THE FIGHT OR FLIGHT REFLEX, TO PERFORM BETTER. BUT IN FREEDIVING, IT'S THE OPPOSITE. YOU'RE GONNA CREAM THROUGH YOUR OXYGEN STORES EARLIER, AND IF YOU PANIC AT DEPTH, IT'S CRITICAL; IT PUTS YOUR LIFE IN DANGER. SO WHAT ARE SOME OF THOSE TECHNIQUES, THEN, THAT THAT ARE PART OF THIS PROGRAMME? YEAH, IT'S A DOUBLE-PRONGED APPROACH THAT USES BOTH MENTAL TECHNIQUES AS WELL AS BREATHING TECHNIQUES, BECAUSE YOU CAN KIND OF HACK INTO THE SYSTEM AND REVERSE ENGINEER A CALMNESS AND EQUANIMITY THAT IS JUST KIND OF UNFLAPPABLE. AND THOSE SAME TECHNIQUES CAN TRANSPOSE INTO THE KIND OF STRESSFUL OR ANXIETY-INDUCING SITUATIONS THAT WE ENCOUNTER IN OUR REGULAR DAY-TO-DAY LIVES, LIKE IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE OR BUSINESS. IN THOSE SITUATIONS, IF YOU HAVE THE FIGHT OR FLIGHT REFLEX, IF YOU CAN'T GET FIRED UP, THAT'S NOT GONNA SERVE YOU WELL WHEN YOU'RE IN KIND OF A CRITICAL MEETING OR HAVING AN ARGUMENT WITH A FAMILY MEMBER. YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT SAME KIND OF CALM AND BE ABLE TO RESPOND WITHOUT REACTING EMOTIVELY. SO, YEAH, THE TECHNIQUES ARE DEVELOPED FOR FREEDIVING, BUT I'VE JUST SEEN HOW INCREDIBLY POWERFUL THEY ARE FOR THOSE KIND OF SITUATIONS AS WELL. I WAS THINKING ABOUT IT, COS, I MEAN, THIS IS YEARS AND YEARS OF YOU HONING YOUR OWN SKILLS, RIGHT, THAT NOW YOU ARE PASSING ON TO OTHERS. I WONDER WHY YOU DECIDED TO PUT THIS TOGETHER. OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW THE BENEFITS OF IT, BUT WHO ARE YOU TARGETING? WHO DO YOU WANT THIS PROGRAMME TO BE FOR? YEAH, I'VE JUST KIND OF NOTICED IN RECENT YEARS. I MEAN, EVEN BEFORE COVID, BUT ESPECIALLY IN THESE LAST FEW YEARS, THAT THERE'S THIS EPIDEMIC OF KIND OF MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS NOWADAYS, I THINK RECENTLY 41% OF ADULTS HAVE EITHER AN ANXIETY DISORDER OR A DEPRESSIVE DISORDER. AND IT'S NOT JUST KIND OF LIKE, 'OH, I'M A LITTLE ANXIOUS NOW AND THEN;' IT'S AN ACTUAL DISORDER THAT'S REALLY AFFECTING THEIR LIVES. AND THEN THE STRESS IS EVEN HIGHER. IT'S LIKE 70% OF ADULTS FEEL STRESS IN THE WORKPLACE. AND THOSE NUMBERS ARE MORE THAN 10 TIMES WHAT THEY WERE JUST 20 YEARS AGO. AND IF YOU GO BACK 50 YEARS AGO, IT'S LIKE... IT'S KIND OF OVER 100 TIMES. SO IT IS GETTING OUT OF CONTROL, AND WE NEED ALL THE TOOLS THAT WE CAN IN ORDER TO FIGHT THIS. AND EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN ACTUAL DISORDER, THESE TECHNIQUES ARE SO BENEFICIAL TO BE ABLE TO KIND OF REMAIN IN THOSE SITUATIONS OF STRESS OR ANXIETY AND BE ABLE TO PERFORM SO THAT YOU CAN KIND OF HAVE A CLEAR HEAD AND GO ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS OR GO ABOUT YOUR DAY-TO-DAY PERSONAL LIFE WITHOUT BEING KIND OF DRIVEN BY THESE HORMONES LIKE ADRENALINE AND CORTISOL AND EMOTIVE DECISION-MAKING. SO, HOW DO WE GET A HOLD OF THIS PROGRAMME, WILLIAM? IT'S ON OUR WEBSITE IN MENTALIMMUNESYSTEM.COM. BUT ALSO THROUGH MY SOCIAL MEDIA IT CAN BE ACCESSED. AND IT'S A PROGRAMME THAT'S THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE SUBSCRIPTION. IT'S JUST KIND OF A ONE-OFF PAYMENT, BECAUSE I FEEL THAT THE PROGRAMME SHOULD BE... YEAH, LIKE A AN OVERALL FIX. LIKE, IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO KIND OF BE KIND OF UP-KEPT, THEN IT'S NOT WORKING. AND THE IDEA IS TO PROGRAMME IT INTO YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND SO THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT IN THE FUTURE. AND THAT'S KIND OF THE GAME CHANGER ` IS THAT IT'S OPERATING LIKE AN APP IN THE BACKGROUND THAT'S JUST MAINTAINING YOUR NATURAL STATE. JUST LIKE YOUR PHYSICAL IMMUNE SYSTEM IS RESPONSIBLE IN THE BACKGROUND FOR TAKING CARE OF VIRUSES, BACTERIA; THIS IS KIND OF OPERATING IN THE BACKGROUND TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE KIND OF MENTAL BOGEYS AND EMOTIONS DON'T FLARE UP. WILLIAM, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME THIS MORNING. AGAIN, I KNOW IT'S SUPER EARLY IN OKINAWA, JAPAN, SO WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING WITH US, AND THANK YOU FOR THIS GIFT TO THE WORLD. SO REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. CHEERS. THANKS. SUPER FASCINATING AND SUCH A TALENTED MAN AS WELL. HE IS SO CALM. SO CALM! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE IF YOU ARE GOING DOWN IN THE WATER FOR THAT LONG. BACK IN A MOMENT WITH YOUR 7.30 NEWS, SPORT AND WEATHER. WE WILL SEE YOU SOON. # I COULD HAVE MY GUCCI ON. MORENA. IT'S 7.30. THE DEATH OF A WORKER IN AN AUCKLAND DAIRY LAST NIGHT HAS SPARKED A HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION. THE PERSON WAS STABBED DURING A ROBBERY AND DIED IN HOSPITAL SHORTLY AFTER. FOR MORE, WE'RE JOINED BY TESSA PARKER WHO IS AT THE SCENE. WHAT'S THE LATEST TESSA? KIA ORA. THE LATEST THAT WE HAVE IS THAT POLICE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR THE OFFENDER THAT ENTERED THIS CENTURY DAIRY BEHIND ME AT 8 PM LAST NIGHT WITH A KNIFE AND FATALLY STABBED THE STORE WORKER. THE DAIRY AND BUSINESS GROUP HAVE CALLED THIS A SAID AND TRAGIC ACCIDENT. THEY WILL BE GATHERING HERE AT 1030 TO SHOW SOLIDARITY FOR THE DAIRY. AS YOU CAN SEE AGAIN, POLICE AT THE SCENE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT AND WHO DID IT. THERE ARE SEEN EXAMINATIONS UNDERWAY, AND THEY ARE ALSO GOING TO BE TALKING TO LOCAL WITNESSES. THE STREETS MY LEFT IS CORDONED OFF. THEY ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WENT DOWN. THANK YOU. A MAN (27) IS SET TO APPEAR IN COURT TODAY, FOLLOWING A FATAL HIT AND RUN IN WEST AUCKLAND. A WITNESS TOLD 1 NEWS A CAR APPEARED TO BE DRIVEN STRAIGHT INTO THE VICTIM AND A HANDGUN WAS PULLED AS THE CAR FLED THE SCENE. THE ALLEGED DRIVER WAS ARRESTED IN GLEN EDEN LAST NIGHT AND IS CHARGED WITH MURDER. POLICE ARE ASKING FOR ANYONE WHO MAY HAVE SEEN THE INCIDENT TO COME FORWARD. ONE DOCTOR HAS TOLD BREAKFAST TRYING TO GET STAFF AT HIS CLINIC IN AUCKLAND HAS BEEN A STRUGGLE. THE GOVERNMENT IS UNDER PRESSURE TO BETTER THE PAY AND IMMIGRATION PATHWAYS TO GET PEOPLE INTO THE HEALTH SECTOR. DOCTOR TORRANCE MERKLE SAYS MANY OF THEIR STAFF HAVE COME FROM OTHER PROVIDERS RATHER THAN NEW GRADUATES. MOST OF OUR RECENT HIRES HAVE BEEN FROM THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT FROM NURSES THAT HAVE BEEN JUST BURNT OUT FROM WORKING THERE AND ONE FROM WORKING IN A REST HOME, SO THEY'RE NOT NEW NURSES GOING INTO GENERAL PRACTICE. WE'RE REALLY JUST MOVING PEOPLE AROUND THE SYSTEM. AN ANNOUNCEMENT FROM HEALTH MINISTER ANDREW LITTLE IS EXPECTED TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY AROUND THE SECTOR. U.S. POLICE HAVE CONFIRMED SIX PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED IN A SHOOTING AT A WALMART STORE IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA YESTERDAY. FOUR OTHERS WERE ALSO INJURED. IT'S BELIEVED THE ATTACKER WAS THE STORE MANAGER AND HAD CALLED HIS COLLEAGUES INTO A BREAK-ROOM BEFORE OPENING FIRE. THE GUNMAN WAS FOUND DEAD AT THE SCENE. TO SPORT, AND THE TENSION CONTINUES AT THE FOOTBALL WORLD CUP IN QATAR. GERMAN PLAYERS COVERED THEIR MOUTHS DURING THE TEAM PHOTO BEFORE THEIR MATCH AGAINST JAPAN IN RESPONSE TO FIFA'S BAN ON THE 'ONE LOVE' ARMBANDS. AND THE DANISH FOOTBALL FEDERATION WON'T SUPPORT FIFA BOSS GIANNI INFANTINO IF HE STANDS FOR RE-ELECTION, SAYING ITS DISAPPOINTED BY THE ACTIONS OF FOOTBALL'S GOVERNING BODY IN QATAR. I THINK A LOT OF HARM'S BEEN DONE TO FOOTBALL. I THINK FOOTBALL IS ABOUT UNITING THE WORLD. THIS IS A STATEMENT OF FIFA. I DO NOT THINK THE PRESS CONFERENCE THAT WAS GIVEN BY INFANTINO IS A UNITED WAY TO SPEAK TO SO MANY NATIONS. MY OWN EMOTIONS ARE I'M DISAPPOINTED ` I'M DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED. WE'VE BEEN ENGAGING WITH FIFA OVER A LONG TIME IN ORDER TO TRY TO HAVE THESE MESSAGES APPROVED. IN THE ACTION ON THE PITCH, JAPAN HAS UPSET EUROPEAN POWERHOUSE GERMANY 2-1, WHILE SPAIN HAS CRUSHED COSTA RICA 7-0. HERE'S YOUR BUSINESS MARKET UPDATE FOR THE MORNING. (FUNKY MUSIC) AND TAKING A LOOK AT YOUR WEATHER THIS MORNING. BASICALLY ONE WORD ` WET. TO THE TOP OF THE COUNTRY ` RAIN EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS WILL EASE TO SHOWERS, CONTINUING INTO THE AFTERNOON.

TO THE DEEP SOUTH ` A CLOUDY DAY WITH SHOWERS DEVELOPING EARLY THIS MORNING. THOSE SHOWERS WILL STICK AROUND THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON. 14 THE HIGH FOR GORE. DUNEDIN, YOUR HIGH IS 16. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE CAPITAL. OH, IT'S LOOKING LOVELY. IT'S LOOKING A LITTLE BIT WINDY THOUGH. PAR FOR THE COURSE. 14 DEGREES. THE HIGH IS 16. COULD BE A DIFFICULT LANDING IF YOU ARE FLYING IN THIS MORNING. (CHUCKLES) I LOVE THE SURPRISE IN YOUR VOICE, THOUGH, JENNY. 'OH, IT'S NICE.' IT'S NICE HAVING THE CAMERA LITTLE BIT WOBBLY BECAUSE THEN YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE. A SHAKY LANDING FOR SOME PEOPLE. THAT'S A GREAT SEGUE INTO OUR FEEDBACK. INDIRA DID AN INTERVIEW ABOUT PROPOSING FOR ONE PILOT TO FLY PLANES. WE'RE GOING FROM TWO PILOTS TO ONE. WE ASKED YOU HOW YOU FELT ABOUT THAT. THE PRESIDENT OF THE AVIATION ASSOCIATION SAID THEY WERE APPALLED AND SAID WE WERE NOT READY FOR THIS. JULIE ` MY FAMILY AND I WILL NEVER FLY AGAIN IF THERE IS ONLY ONE PILOT FLYING. GREG ` THIS WILL BE CRAZY. IMAGINE A SOLE PILOT HAVING AN UNEXPECTED STROKE. MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THERE WAS A REQUIREMENT FOR TWO PILOTS BECAUSE THERE WERE RISK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH HAVING ONE. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT A PLANE IS CAPABLE OF DOING, YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE HUMAN FACTOR. YOU ALWAYS HEAR ABOUT PILOTS FALLING ASLEEP. THERE IS HUMAN ERROR INVOLVED IN FLYING A PLANE NEVER TO HOW AMAZING THE TECHNOLOGY IS. THE EXPERT THAT WE HAD ON EARLIER, HE SAID YEARS AGO WHEN HE FIRST STARTED FLYING DECADES AGO, THEY USED TO BE FOR PEOPLE IN THE COCKPIT. ` AND NAVIGATOR, FORGIVE ME. I CAN'T WHO ELSE. THANKS, MALCOLM. TWO PILOTS AND A NAVIGATOR AND AN ENGINEER. NOW WE ARE DOWN TO TWO. WHAT HAPPENS IF ONE OF YOU CARKS IT? EXACTLY. YOU WANT TO KNOW THERE IS BACKUP IF IT DOES HAPPEN. ESPECIALLY GIVEN THAT FLIGHTS ARE UP TO 18 HOURS NOW. AS IT STANDS, MOST OF YOU SAY, NOT FOR ME, THANK YOU. WOULD YOU? I MEAN, IF THAT IS WHERE WE GET TO AND I NEED TO GET PLACES, WHAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE? MAYBE THE PRESSURE IS ON WHEN YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN. EXACTLY. MAYBE THEY JUST NEED A PASSENGER TO SIT THERE AND GO, HEY, ARE YOU OKAY? ARE YOU AWAKE? WITH HEAD STORIES ABOUT PASSENGERS HAVING TO FLY A PLANE. WOULD YOU TRUST YOURSELF TO LAND A PLANE? MAYBE THAT'S OUR NEXT QUESTION. COMING UP ` WITH RISING COSTS, IS IT TIME TO CHANGE UP THE HOUSEHOLD BUDGET? WE'VE GOT THE DETAILS NEXT. # I DON'T NEED NO MONEY # AS LONG AS I GOT YOU. # YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A SINGLE THING. # JUST LET ME SING TO YOU. WELCOME BACK TO BREAKFAST. WHEN IT ANNOUNCED AOTEAROA'S BIGGEST EVER OFFICIAL CASH RATE HIKE YESTERDAY AS PART OF ITS EFFORTS TO SLOW DOWN THE INFLATION THAT'S NOW EMBEDDED IN OUR ECONOMY, THE RESERVE BANK ALSO NOTED IT EXPECTS THAT WE'LL GO INTO RECESSION NEXT YEAR, WHICH IS CLEARLY NOT GOOD. BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOU AND YOUR PERSONAL FINANCES? AND WHAT CAN YOU DO TO STRETCH YOUR HOUSEHOLD BUDGET TO GET THROUGH THE INCREASINGLY ROUGH RIDE THAT'S ON THE WAY? HERE TO SHARE SOME PRACTICAL TIPS AND TRICKS, WE'RE REALLY PLEASED TO WELCOME FINANCIAL ADVISER CARISSA FAIRBROTHER OF RIVAL WEALTH BACK TO BREAKFAST. MORENA. MORENA. BACK TO BREAKFAST BUT FIRST TIME IN THE STUDIO. USUALLY YOU AS ZOOMING IN FROM THE WAIRARAPA. GREAT TO SEE THINGS FROM BEHIND-THE-SCENES AND TO KNOW THAT ONLY COFFEE IN THE COFFEE CUP. YESTERDAY WAS NOT ENTIRELY UNEXPECTED. NOT ENTIRELY UNEXPECTED. THE REALITY IS THAT FOR MANY PEOPLE IN NEW ZEALAND, THEY ARE ALREADY DOING IT TOUGH. THERE IS ALSO A GREAT SECTION OF NEW ZEALANDERS WHO, POST-COVID HAVE DONE REALLY WELL AND HAVE BEEN SPENDING ABOVE AND BEYOND THEIR MEANS WITH BUY NOW PAY LATER SERVICES. WE HAVE LOST THE ART OF MINDFUL SPENDING. THIS HAS BEEN DONE TO TEACH US ALL THAT WE NEED TO CURB OUR SPENDING PATTERNS AND ADDRESS OUR FINANCIAL HABITS SO THAT HE CAN GET INFLATION UNDER CONTROL, WHICH WILL BENEFIT ALL OF US IN THE LONG TERM. IT'S DEFINITELY A HARD PILL TO SWALLOW. ESPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE HOME SAYING, I'M NOT MANY MONEY BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO SPEND RIGHT NOW. PEOPLE WHO PURCHASED A HOUSE IN THE LAST YEARS, IF THEY RELOCK AT 7%, THEIR INTEREST IS GOING UP. THERE'S AN EXTRA TWO GRAND A MONTH. FULL WHERE DOES THAT COME FROM? PEOPLE REALLY NEED TO ADDRESS THEIR CASH MANAGEMENT HABITS AND TAKE A LOOK UNDER THE HOOD ` HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A FUTURE FOCUS. WHAT CAN I BE DOING NOW? TAKE YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE SEND, SO TO SPEAK. GET YOURSELF ORGANISED. DO YOU THINK THAT'S WHY WE HAVE GOTTEN TO WHERE WE ARE? PEOPLE HAVE HAD THEIR HEAD IN THE SEND FOR A WHILE? I FIGURE IS ALSO THE ENVIRONMENT. WE HAVE HAD CHEAP INTEREST RATES. EVERYONE HAS FELT WEALTHIER WITH RISING PROPERTY VALUES AS WELL. THERE ARE MANY CONTRIBUTORS. THIS WEEK, SINGLES DAY AND BLACK FRIDAY MARKETING ` WE ARE MARKETED TO MORE THAN EVER. YOU SEE SOMETHING ON BREAKFAST, OVER THE COURSE OF THE DAY, PEOPLE SPENDING AS A BIT OUT OF CONTROL. AND THIS IS ONLY GOING TO CONTINUE. WE SPOKE TO ADRIAN EARLIER IN THE PROGRAM AND HE SAID, YOU CAN EXPECT MORE OCR HIKES NEXT YEAR. YOU CAN PROBABLY EXPECT THE RECESSION COMING NEXT YEAR. PEOPLE HEAR THAT WORD AND THEY GET SCARED. SHOULD THEY BE SCARED? SHOULD THEY BE FOR FULL OF IT? IF THEY ARE NOT FINANCIALLY ORGANISED AND THEY DON'T HAVE THEIR AFFAIRS IN ORDER, YES, IT IS A VERY WORRYING THING. IT IS COMING. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GO, DO I WANT THE HOUSE OR THE HOLIDAY? THERE IS GOING TO BE COMPROMISING PEOPLE'S FUTURES. PEOPLE SITTING AROUND THE TABLE AND PULLING OUT THE PHONE AND SEEING OTHER APPS THAT YOU PAY FOR A NEW DON'T USE. GET RID OF THEM. THIS IS A POINT IN TIME WHERE WE ALL NEED TO HAVE A GOOD LOOK UNDER THE HOOD AND REVIEW EXACTLY WHERE OUR HARD EARN CASH IS GOING AND MAKES A BETTER CHOICES. LET HAVE A LOOK UNDER THE HOOD HERE AT BREAKFAST. WHAT ARE YOUR TIPS IN TERMS OF THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE TIGHTENING THEIR BELT ON AT THE MOMENT? IT'S ALL EXPENSES. IF YOU PRINT THE LAST THREE MONTHS OF YOUR BANK STATEMENT AND SEE WHERE YOUR MONEY IS GOING, THE BIG ONES ARE FOOD, HOUSING, AND TRANSPORT. BUT IT MIGHT BE THE SIMPLE THINGS LIKE MEAL PLANNING OR EATING IN SEASON OR DEEP DIVING INTO AN AREA THAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY OVERSPENDING. IT IS ALSO THE EXPENSES LIKE WE ARE SEEING A LOT OF PEOPLE COMING BACK WITH THE INSURANCE. THIS IS BUSINESS AND PERSONAL. GOING, HOW CAN I MAKE THIS MORE AFFORDABLE? DO A NEED OR WANT THIS COVER? PEOPLE NEED TO BRING BACK THEIR EXPECTATIONS AND MANAGE THEIR EXPECTATIONS. SORRY, I'M NOT CRYING. I JUST HAVE A WEE WEEPING EYE. WE DO TRY TO KEEP UP WITH THE JONESES. IT'S ABOUT SITTING ON EXAMPLE FOR THE NEXT GENERATION AS WELL. IT'S SO EASY NOW. I JUST DOUBLE-CLICK MY PHONE. 100%. WE HAVE LOST THE ART OF SAVING UP FOR SOMETHING. WE DON'T EVEN SECOND-GUESS IT. MAYBE GETTING OUT CASH SO THAT YOU HAVE THE TANGIBLE FEELING, COS CASH IS WAY HARDER TO SPEND. WE KNOW THAT. IT'S BEEN PROVEN. A RISING TIDE LIFTS ALL BOATS, SO IT IS GOING TO LIFT EVERYTHING. EXPENSES ARE GOING TO INCREASE. RESTAURANTS AND BUSINESSES WILL HAVE TO PASS ON THOSE COSTS. IT WILL AFFECT US ALL. HOW YOU ADVISE PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH THAT IF THEY SEE BUSINESSES PASSING THOSE COSTS ONTO CONSUMERS? IT'S FAIR TO SAY THAT BUSINESSES HAVE HAD A RELATIVELY TOUGH TIME THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS NEW ZEALAND. MAYBE NOT ALL THE FISCAL POLICY HAS BEEN NAMED CORRECTLY TOWARDS THEM. BUT THEY ARE DOING WHAT THEY NEED TO DO. IT'S THAT CATCH-22 SITUATION.YES, SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES AND CAFES BUT ALSO MINIMISE YOUR OVERALL SPEND. AND FOR BUSINESSES, SMALL TO MEDIUM, THINKING, HOLY MOLY. THIS IS GOING TO BE HARD. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO STOP COMING IN BECAUSE THEY NEED TO FOCUS ON DEBT AND SAVE, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE GOING BACK TO THEIR FINANCIAL ADVISERS OR THEIR TRUSTED ADVISER OR THEIR MENTAL AND SAYING, THIS IS THE LAY OF THE LAND. WHAT ARE WE DOING? WHAT CAN WE DO? WHAT WOULD YOUR ADVICE BE AS WE GET READY FOR CHRISTMAS? STILL HAVE FUN. MAKE IT FUN. SECRET CENTRE. IF YOU'VE GOT OTHER CHILDREN, BRING THEM INTO THE MONEY CONVERSATION AND SAY, HEY, GUYS. THIS IS GOING ON. LET'S MAKE IT FUN. IT'S NOT REALLY EVER ABOUT THE STUFF. AT ABOUT THE TIME THAT YOU SPEND WITH PEOPLE. FOCUS ON THAT. LOVE IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR ENTITLE AND ADVICE BECAUSE WE ALL NEED IT. WE'LL NEED TO LOOK UNDER THE HOOD, LIKE YOU SAY. WE DO. THANKS. COMING UP AFTER THE BREAK ` A SNEAK PEAK AT THE NEW MUSICAL YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS. One minute, you're trying to get more light in the room. (CRASH!) The next, you've got a skylight. - (GRUNTS) - So get covered with Tower and get a month's premium on us with every eligible insurance policy you buy online. # ISLANDS IN THE STREAM. # THAT IS WHAT WE ARE. # NO ONE IN BETWEEN. # HOW CAN WE BE WRONG? # THAT IS SUCH A GOOD JAM. PACIFIC PEOPLE LOVE THIS JAM. TRADING IN YOUR 9-TO-5 FOR, WELL, WORKIN' 9-TO-5. THE NEW FILM SERIOUSLY RED, OUT TODAY, SEES THE MAIN CHARACTER GIVE UP HER REAL ESTATE DREAMS FOR THE LIFE OF A DOLLY PARTON IMPERSONATOR. WRITTEN BY AND STARRING AUSTRALIAN ACTRESS KREW BOYLAN, THE FILM EVEN GOT THE SEAL OF APPROVAL FROM PARTON HERSELF. RICHARD MARTIN SPOKE TO THE STARS OF THE FILM. I'M GONNA HAVE TO MEET YOU IN THERE. I'VE ONLY JUST FINISHED MY LAST VALUATION. PHONE: YOU KNOW YOU'VE GOTTA DRESS UP. I KNOW. WELL, WHO ARE YOU COMING AS? IN THE FILM 'SERIOUSLY RED', A REAL ESTATE AGENT NICKNAMED RED TRADES IN HER CAREER FOR THE LIFE OF A DOLLY PARTON IMPERSONATOR. LOUDSPEAKER: RAYLENE 'RED' DELANEY. # WORKIN' 9-TO-5. WHAT A WAY TO MAKE A LIVING. # FOR ACTRESS AND WRITER KREW BOYLAN, THIS FILM HAS BEEN A LONG TIME IN THE MAKING. WHAT WAS THAT SORT OF PROCESS LIKE? COS I KNOW THERE WAS, LIKE, 13 YEARS THIS HAS BEEN IN PRODUCTION. YEAH, IT WAS` I MEAN, FROM THE TIME I STARTED WRITING IT, IT HAS BEEN A LONG PROCESS. BUT YEAH, I STARTED WRITING BECAUSE I JUST DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I WAS SORT OF GETTING THE ROLES THAT I WAS WANTING IN MY CAREER. AND SO I STARTED WRITING OUT OF THAT PLACE OF WHAT IS SUCCESS AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN AND WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? AND I VERY QUICKLY REALISED THAT, TO ME, IT LOOKED LIKE DOLLY PARTON. AND THAT IS WHERE I SORT OF STARTED FROM IN MY QUEST TO FIND OUT HOW I COULD BE AND LOOK AND FEEL LIKE DOLLY PARTON. ALONG WITH A WHIRLWIND ROMANCE WITH A KENNY ROGERS IMPERSONATOR, RED ALSO CROSSES PATHS WITH AN ELVIS IMPERSONATOR PLAYED BY ROSE BYRNE. IMITATES ELVIS: THANK YOU VERY MUCH ABOUT THAT. MISS DOLLY PARTON HERE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WHAT'S IT LIKE GETTING THAT PHONE CALL ` WE WANT YOU TO PLAY ELVIS PRESLEY? (CHUCKLES) WELL, KREW, YOU KNOW, SHE ALWAYS THINKS OUTSIDE THE BOX. AND THIS IS JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF HER VISION OF SOMETHING AND HER CREATIVE KIND OF ECCENTRICITIES, WHICH I LOVE AND HOW SHE` LIKE, NOBODY WOULD PROBABLY EVER THINK TO DO THAT, TO CAST ME IN THAT ROLE. AND IT'S TURNED OUT TO BE, LIKE, A VERY POIGNANT PART OF THE MOVIE. AND IT WAS AN INCREDIBLY FUN AND LIBERATING THING TO PLAY. HOW MUCH DID YOU GUYS SORT OF GET INVOLVED IN THE WORLD OF, LIKE, IMPRESSIONISTS AND THINGS? I WENT TO VEGAS AND GOT TO SPEND A BIT OF TIME AND GOT TO INTERVIEW A FEW TRIBUTE PERFORMERS AND GOT A REALLY GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF THE SPECTRUM OF THE LIVES THAT YOU CAN LIVE. SOME PEOPLE` LIKE, THERE WAS A GUY WHO WAS... WHAT'S LIV TYLER'S DAD? OH, STEVEN TYLER. STEVEN TYLER. THERE WAS A STEVEN TYLER GUY, AND HE WAS JUST LIKE, AMERICAN ACCENT: 'WHAT ELSE AM I GONNA DO WITH THIS FACE? 'LOOK AT ME.' AND I WAS, LIKE, HE LOOKS JUST EXACTLY LIKE STEVE TYLER. AND I WAS, LIKE, 'YEAH, FAIRSIES. THAT PROBABLY MAKES SENSE.' (CHUCKLES) IS THERE ANYONE BASED ON THIS FACE THAT YOU THINK THAT I COULD TAKE UP A ROLE AS? NO, BUT KREW ACTUALLY DID A CHARACTER THAT LOOKED LIKE YOU. (CHUCKLES) I DID. (LAUGHS) KREW DID THIS AMAZING COMMERCIAL WHERE SHE PLAYED OVER FOUR OR FIVE DIFFERENT CHARACTERS ` MEN, WOMEN, PROFESSIONALS, YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY WHO LIVES` A VARIETY OF VARIOUS PEOPLE. AND THERE WAS A CHARACTER THAT LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE YOU. (LAUGHS) (CHUCKLES) I WILL SEND YOU THE PHOTO. I NEED TO TRACK THAT DOWN. YEAH, YEAH. THAT'S GREAT. I MANAGED TO FIND THE COMMERCIAL SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT, BUT I DON'T SEE THE RESEMBLANCE. BERNARD NEEDS A GOOD RUN, ONCE DAILY. I... DO NOT. BOTH: # ...IN THE STREAM. THAT IS WHAT WE ARE. # NO ONE IN BETWEEN. # THE FILM IS A LOVE LETTER TO THE MUSIC OF DOLLY PARTON, APPROVED BY THE QUEEN OF COUNTRY HERSELF. AND WHEN WE` WHEN I GOT TO MEET HER IN AUSTIN, SHE'D ALREADY WATCHED IT AND SHE'D ALREADY TWEETED ABOUT IT. AND SHE JUST SAID, 'OH, WE LAUGHED. 'WE LAUGHED.' YOU KNOW, SHE JUST, LIKE, SHE JUST LOVED IT. AND SHE JUST SHE FELT QUITE MOVED AND SORT OF ALSO VULNERABLE, BECAUSE OF WHAT MY CHARACTER GOES THROUGH. AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS INTERESTING THAT SHE PERSONIFIED HERSELF AS RED AS MUCH AS RED PERSONIFIED HERSELF AS DOLLY. SERIOUSLY RED IS IN CINEMAS NATIONWIDE FROM TODAY. A HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION'S BEEN LAUNCHED FOLLOWING A FATAL STABBING AT A DAIRY IN THE AUCKLAND SUBURB OF SANDRINGHAM LAST NIGHT. FOR MORE WE'RE JOINED BY TESSA PARKER WHO IS AT THE SCENE. WHAT'S THE LATEST, TESSA? SANDRINGHAM RESIDENTS ARE WAKING UP IN A STATE OF SHOCK THIS MORNING AFTER AN AGGRAVATED ROBBERY AT THIS. LAST NIGHT. THE ROBBERY RESULTED IN THE STORE WORKER BEING STABBED AND LATER DYING IN HOSPITAL. I SPOKE TO A LOCAL WHO LIVES ACROSS THE ROAD. HE DESCRIBED HIS DEVASTATION AT THIS EVENT. HE SAID HE HAD A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE DAIRY OWNERS AND THAT THEY HAVE AN COMMUNITY WHERE THEY LOOK AFTER THE DAIRY OWNERS. THE LATEST WE HAVE IS THAT THEY STILL HAVE NOT IDENTIFIED OR CAUGHT THE OFFENDER. CORDONS ARE CURRENTLY UP IN THE LOCAL AREA AS WELL AS AROUND THREE FORENSIC TENTS AS POLICE TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT. THE RESERVE BANK GOVERNOR SAYS THERE'S LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL DESPITE PROJECTING NEW ZEALAND'S HEADING INTO A RECESSION NEXT YEAR. IT COMES AFTER THE OFFICIAL CASH RATE WAS HIKED 75 BASIS POINTS TO 4.25% YESTERDAY. ADRIAN ORR SAYS IT WAS A NECESSARY MOVE IN THE CURRENT ECONOMIC CLIMATE. WE HAVE EMPLOYMENT AT RECORD LEVELS. LABOUR FORCE PARTICIPATION AT RECORD LEVELS. AND WE HAVE GOT GLOBAL, INTERNATIONAL INFLATION. YOU MENTIONED THE DOMESTIC COMPONENTS, BUT FOOD AND ENERGY PRICES GLOBALLY AS WELL AS OUR OWN HOMEGROWN INFLATION IS ALL PUTTING PRESSURE ON PEOPLE. ADRIAN ORR SAYS THE CURRENT POLICY IS 'WORKING', AS PEOPLE SPEND LESS TO TACKLE INFLATION. JERUSALEM HAS BEEN ROCKED BY TWO SUSPECTED BOMB ATTACKS AT BUS STOPS. THE EXPLOSIONS KILLED A BOY (15) AND INJURED 14 OTHER PEOPLE. ISRAELI POLICE SAY IT'S BELIEVED TO BE A PALESTINIAN ATTACK. THE INCIDENTS CAME JUST HOURS AFTER A PALESTINIAN TEENAGER WAS KILLED BY ISRAELI FORCES IN THE OCCUPIED WEST BANK. THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT'S WEBSITE HAS BEEN HIT BY A CYBER ATTACK, WITH A PRO-KREMLIN GROUP CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY ACCORDING TO THE PRESIDENT. THE ATTACK CAME JUST HOURS AFTER THE PARLIAMENT PASSED A RESOLUTION TO RECOGNISE RUSSIA AS A STATE SPONSOR OF TERRORISM. ON THE GROUND IN UKRAINE, LARGE PARTS OF THE COUNTRY ARE WITHOUT POWER AFTER A FRESH WAVE OF RUSSIAN MISSILE STRIKES. SEVEN PEOPLE WERE KILLED IN THE ATTACKS ACCORDING TO AUTHORITIES. TO SPORT ` AND JAPAN HAVE BEATEN GERMANY 2-1 AT THE FOOTBALL WORLD CUP. THEIR FIRST-EVER VICTORY OVER THE FOUR-TIME TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS. GERMANY DOMINATED FOR MOST OF THE MATCH, HOLDING A 1-0 LEAD UP UNTIL THE 74TH MINUTE, BEFORE JAPAN MOUNTED A COMEBACK. THAT WOULD HAVE DENIED US THIS GREAT FINISH. LOVELY TOUCH THERE! (CHEERING, APPLAUSE) THE STORY DEVELOPS! AND SPAIN'S CRUSHED COSTA RICA 7-0 IN THEIR OPENING GAME. HERE'S YOUR BUSINESS MARKET UPDATE FOR THE MORNING. AND TAKING A LOOK AT YOUR WEATHER THIS MORNING. TO THE TOP OF THE COUNTRY ` RAIN EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS WILL EASE TO SHOWERS, CONTINUING INTO THE AFTERNOON. 22s AND 20s THE HIGHS THROUGH HERE. HEADING SOUTH ` SIMILAR HERE. RAIN DEVELOPING EARLY, TURNING TO SHOWERS BY MIDDAY. SOME OF THESE FALLS MAY BE HEAVY. 19 THE HIGH FOR WHAKATANE. TO THE EAST COAST ` A CLOUDY DAY THROUGH HERE. YOU'LL ALL SEE SHOWERS DEVELOPING EARLY THIS MORNING. DANNEVIRKE AND MASTERTON, THOSE MAY BE HEAVIER FOR YOU. 22 THE HIGH FOR HASTINGS. OVER TO THE WEST ` A WINDY DAY WITH THE ODD SHOWER FOR WELLINGTON. THE REST OF YOU, RAIN AND WIND STARTING EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS WILL STICK AROUND FOR MOST, EASING FOR TAUMARUNUI. 16 THE HIGH FOR WELLINGTON. TO THE SOUTH ISLAND ` YOU'LL WANT TO GRAB A BROLLY. SHOWERS FOR MOST OF YOU THIS MORNING. BLENHEIM AND KAIKOURA, YOU'LL SEE THIS WET WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON. 15 THE HIGH FOR GREYMOUTH. HEADING SOUTH ` LOOKING MOSTLY FINE THIS MORNING. EXPECT SHOWERS TO DEVELOP LATER THIS AFTERNOON. 20 THE HIGH FOR CHRISTCHURCH. TO THE DEEP SOUTH ` A CLOUDY DAY WITH SHOWERS DEVELOPING EARLY THIS MORNING. THOSE SHOWERS WILL STICK AROUND THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON. 14 THE HIGH FOR GORE. IT'S A DRIZZLY START FOR HAMILTON THIS MORNING, WITH POSSIBLE HEAVY RAIN AND THINDERSTORMS TO COME THIS AFTERNOON. A HIGH OF 18 FOR YOU TODAY. NOT AS WINDY AS WELLINGTON. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS WEATHER? IT IS NOVEMBER AND WE HAVE HAD SUCH A WET WEEK. I KNOW IT IS SPRING AND IT IS AUCKLAND AND IT IS NEW ZEALAND AND WE GET THIS KIND OF WEATHER, BUT, SERIOUSLY, SORT IT OUT. IT IS GREAT FOR THE GARDEN, THOUGH. I FEEL LIKE THE GARDEN HAS HAD ENOUGH. I FEEL LIKE MOSQUITOES COME OUT BECAUSE IT IS WET AND MUDDY. SORT IT OUT. THAT IS MY MESSAGE TO YOU. TO WHO? TO THE WEATHER GODS! IT IS GETTING IT ALL OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE YOUR WEDDING, MATTY. THAT IS GOOD LUCK, ISN'T IT? I THINK IT WAS MADE UP BY SOMEONE TRYING TO FIND A SILVER LINING/ THANK YOU FOR YOUR FEEDBACK ABOUT THIS PROPOSAL BY AIRLINES TO DROP DOWN TO ONE PILOT BY 2027. THAT IS THE TIME WHEN THEY HAVE IN MIND. THE TECHNOLOGY IS STILL BEING DEVELOPED AS WE SPEAK. YOU WOULD HOPE IT WOULD BE UP TO SCRATCH BY THE TIME THEY CUT DOWN. MORE THAN 40 COUNTRIES ARE OPEN TO IT, INCLUDING NEW ZEALAND. DO YOU KNOW WHO IS NOT OPEN TO WHAT? YOU. THE VIEWERS. PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE THAT HAS SENT IN FEEDBACK HAS SAID IT IS A SILLY IDEA. THINK ABOUT MEDICAL ISSUES OR EMERGENCIES. WHO IS GOING TO DEAL WITH THE TECHNOLOGY IN THE COCKPIT IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG? FLIGHT ATTENDANTS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO THAT, NOR WITH THE PASSENGERS. CALEB SAYS HE IS A TRAIN DRIVER AND HE DOES ELECTRIC COMMUTER TRAINS. SOME TRAINS ARE AUTOMATED AND DO NOT HAVE A TRAIN DRIVER. IT IS HAPPENING IN SOME PLACES AROUND THE COUNTRY. THERE HAVE BEEN TALKS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING IN TRAINS AND SOME PLACES AROUND THE WORLD. I DO BELIEVE THERE WAS A DRIVERLESS TRAIN OVERSEAS THAT DID CRASH. THAT IS ALSO WHAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE NEW ZEALAND AIRLINE ASSOCIATIONS SAID TO US. EVEN AUTOMATED WITH TWO PILOTS THERE HAVE BEEN CRASHES WITH HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE. TECHNOLOGY GOES WRONG, AND WE ALSO KNOW THERE IS HUMAN ERROR INVOLVED. AN EXTRA PAIR OF HANDS, EARS, EYES, WHATEVER THAT MAY BE IS A GOOD IDEA. IT IS PEACE OF MIND, RIGHT? I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF IN A FEW YEARS TIME THERE WOULD BE NO PILOTS AND IT WILL JUST BE GOING ON ITS OWN. YOU ARE FLYING TOMORROW. I WOULD DEFINITELY LIKE TO PILOTS, PLEASE. I ALSO THINK I WOULD LIKE A DOCTOR ON BOARD JUST IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENS. EVERYTHING TAKEN CARE OF IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG. THANK YOU FOR YOUR FEEDBACK. KEEP IT COMING IN. STAY WITH US BECAUSE WHEN WE RETURN... WE WILL BE JOINED WITH SOME OF THE BLACK CAPS TEAM AS THEY PREPARE FOR THEIR GAME AGAINST INDIA HERE AT EDEN PARK. WE WILL SEE YOU AFTER THE BREAK. # I LOVE... # MY BROKE BOY. WELCOME BACK TO BREAKFAST. THE BLACKCAPS SUMMER OF CRICKET IS WELL UNDERWAY HERE IN AOTEAROA. THE BOYS ARE SEEKING REDEMPTION AFTER MOTHER NATURE PLAYED A PART THE BOYS ARE SEEKING REDEMPTION AFTER MOTHER NATURE PLAYED A PART IN THEIR 1-0 T20 SERIES LOSS. OUR SPORTS DEPARTMENT IS AT EDEN PARK WITH SOME OF THE TEAM BEFORE THEIR ONE-DAY INTERNATIONAL SERIES. MORNING, LACHIE. MORNING. WE ARE BACK AT EDEN PARK. NOT FOR RUGBY, THIS TIME. FOR CRICKET AS THE BLACK CAPS PREPARE FOR THE SERIES AGAINST INDIA. I AM JOINED BY JIMMY NEESHAM AND SHANE FERGUSON. SORRY. WHAT WAS YOUR LAST NAME? JURGENSEN. THERE ARE MUCH SHORTER BOUNDARIES HERE. WHAT IS THE APPROACH WHEN YOU COME AND PLAY AT EDEN PARK? USUALLY I AM IN THE VIEWING ROOM DOWNSTAIRS AND HIDING. IT'S PRETTY DAUNTING FOR A BOWLER. IT'S PRETTY SHORT AND STRAIGHT BUT STILL WIDE. YOU TRY AND KEEP THE BETTER GUESSING. IT'S PRETTY IMPORTANT FOR A BOWLER BECAUSE IT IS PRETTY SHORT AND STRAIGHT. YOU HOPE TO NOT GET HIT FOR FOUR OR SIX. WHAT MAKES THEM SO GOOD? THEY HAVE BEEN A GOOD TEAM FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. WE HAVE HAD GOOD GAMES AGAINST THEM. IF YOU TAKE IT BACK TO THE SEMIFINALS AND LAST YEAR T-20 WORLD CUP, IT'S ABOUT DOING SIMILAR TO WHAT THEY DO. THEY ADAPT VERY WELL. THEY HAVE A NUMBER OF GUYS THAT CAN BOWL FAST. A LEFT ARM CIMA AND SPINNERS. FOR THE BLACK CAPS, HAS THAT APPROACH CHANGED? THE GUYS ARE GOING TO START AND MAYBE DRIFT OFF AFTER 20 OVERS BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD SO MUCH OVER 20 CRICKET. THAT PERIOD, WE NEED TO WAKE UP AND KEEP PLAYING. THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS YOU DO WITH THE SCHEDULE THESE DAYS, KEEP ADAPTING TO ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CREDITS YOU HAVE GOT TO PLAY WHICH IS GREAT. THAT WILL BE THE CHALLENGE FOR US. WITH 50 OVER CRICKET YOU HAVE TIME TO PLAN THE DEMISE. WE CAN BE THE HUNTERS NOW. THANKS FOR JOINING ME, AND APOLOGIES FOR MUCKING UP THE LAST NAME. HOW GOOD IS IT TO HAVE A SERIES AT HOME? IT IS GREAT. WE HAVE HAD A WHOLE LOT OF CRICKET AWAY FROM HOME OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS. IT IS NICE TO SLEEP IN MY OWN BED AND AUCKLAND. I HOPE THE WEATHER IS GOING TO PLAY BALL AS WELL. WE SHOULD GET A GOOD CROWD. THERE HAS BEEN A BIT OF RAIN. HAD THE LEAD'S BEEN DOING A RAIN DANCE TO MAKE SURE IT GOES AWAY? IT IS INTERESTING. IT HAS BEEN BEAUTIFUL ALL DAY DURING THE DAY AND THEN STARTS TO PACK IN WHEN WE HIT THE GROUND. HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE LIKE THIS UNTIL GAME DAY AND THEN IT CLEARS UP. WE HAVE A LOT OF CRICKET ON THEIR LEGS LATELY. WE HAVE PLAYED A LOT OF GAMES. HOPEFULLY THE GUYS ARE NOT TOO DISAPPOINTED. DOES THAT TAKE A BIT OF A TOLL? DEFINITELY. ESPECIALLY FOR THE BOWLING UNIT. THE GUYS ARE REALLY FIT AND WORK HARD ON THEIR FITNESS, BUT IT DOES TAKE A TOLL ON THE BODY PLAYING A GAME OF CRICKET EVERY SECOND DAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THERE ARE A FEW SORE BODIES, BUT THE GUYS ARE PROFESSIONAL. WHAT DO YOU GUYS DO TO KEEP YOUR MIND KIND OF TICKING OVER WHEN THERE ARE ALL THOSE DELAYS HAPPENING? TRY AND AVOID TIM SOUTHEE AS A RULE NUMBER ONE. HE STARTS TO GET A BIT BORED AND TRIES TO HUNT PEOPLE AND HAD THEM OVER THE HEAD. THERE IS A BIT OF CARDS GOING ON. SOME VOLLEYBALL. THE GUYS INVENT GAMES IN THE CHANGING ROOM. WHAT MAKES THEM SUCH A GREAT TEAM WITH THE SORT OF FORMAT? HAVING A BILLION PEOPLE TO CHOOSE FROM PROBABLY HELPS. THEY HAVE SO MANY TALENTED PLAYERS TO PICK FROM. IT AS A RELIGION OVER THERE. EVERYBODY PLAYS CRICKET. YOU DRIVE THROUGH THE STREETS OF MUMBAI AND THERE ARE CRICKET GAMES GOING ON EVERYWHERE. THEY ACTUALLY ALLOW THOSE PLAYERS TO TAKE THEIR UNIQUE SKILLS INTO INTERNATIONAL CRICKET, WHERE AS A FEW OF THE WESTERN COUNTRIES TRY AND COACH THOSE SKILLS OUT OF THEM TO MAKE THEM MORE ORTHODOX. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE GROUNDSMAN THAT THE WEATHER IS LOOKING GOOD SO GET IN QUICK FOR THE LAST TICKETS HERE AT EDEN PARK. GO, THE BLACK ! CAPS HAVE JIMMY AND SHANE JOINED YOU FOR MOVEMBER? THEY ARE VERY MUCH OUTDOING ME. YOU STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO BUT THERE ARE STILL A FEW MORE DAYS TO GO, LACHIE. FIND SOMEONE WHO LOOKS AT YOU THE WAY LACHIE LOOKS AT JIMMY NEESHAM. COMING UP ` THEY'RE A MATCH MADE MILLIONS OF YEARS AGO. WE VISIT THE T-REX SKELETONS PETER AND BARBARA AT AUCKLAND MUSEUM. I WAS JUST SAYING THIS TO YOU ` BARBARA AND PETE OTHER TWO DINOSAURS IN AUCKLAND. I BIT SHE'S LIKE, I COULDN'T STAND PETER. IT'S AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE, REALLY, ISN'T IT? BARBARA AND PETER SOUND LIKE YOUR AVERAGE MIDDLE-AGED COUPLE. BUT THE TWO T-REX SKELETONS, NOW RESIDING AT AUCKLAND MUSEUM, ARE SO MUCH MORE. AUCKLAND REPORTER TESSA PARKER IS ALREADY CHUMMY WITH PETER, WHO ARRIVED IN APRIL, SO YESTERDAY SHE WENT ALONG TO THE MUSEUM TO MEET THE BRAND NEW BARB. TAKE A LOOK. (JURASSIC PARK THEME) SO, WE ALL REMEMBER WHEN PETER THE T-REX ARRIVED AT AUCKLAND MUSEUM. THAT'S BECAUSE HE CAUSED A LITTLE BIT OF A STIR. BUT I ASK YOU ` WHAT IS BETTER THAN ONE T-REX SKELETON? WELL, OF COURSE. TWO T-REX SKELETONS. THIS IS BARBARA. SHE'S BEING INSTALLED AT THE MOMENT. AND TO LEARN A LITTLE BIT MORE, WE'RE GOING TO BE JOINED BY DR DAVID FROM AUCKLAND MUSEUM. NOW, DR DAVID, HOW GOOD IS BARBARA? BARBARA'S FANTASTIC. SHE'S ONE OF ONLY THREE SUBSTANTIALLY PRESERVED ADULT FEMALE T-REX SKELETONS IN THE WORLD. AND WE'RE REALLY LUCKY TO BRING HER TOGETHER WITH PETER. AND, YOU KNOW, THIS IS GOING TO BE FANTASTIC FOR US. THIS IS A UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD THAT A MALE AND A FEMALE T-REX HAVE BEEN DISPLAYED TOGETHER. AND SHE'S NOT A SMALL SKELETON, IS SHE? SHE'S BIG. SHE'S A FULL ADULT. THESE ARE REALLY BIG ANIMALS. AND SHE'S ACTUALLY QUITE SUBSTANTIALLY BIGGER THAN PETER. SHE MIGHT HAVE BEEN A BIT OLDER, BUT SHE'S ALSO` WE BELIEVE SHE'S FEMALE, AND THESE FEMALE T-REXES MAY WELL HAVE BEEN LARGER THAN THE MALES. SO THAT'S A POSSIBILITY. WE'VE ONLY GOT ABOUT 25 WELL-PRESERVED ADULT T-REX SKELETONS IN THE WORLD. IT'S HONESTLY MIND-BLOWING, COS WHEN YOU LOOK UP AT THEM, YOU CAN'T IMAGINE THEM WALKING ALONG. IMAGINE IF THOSE TWO WERE JUST STROLLING THROUGH THE DOMAIN. BUT IT WAS SO LONG AGO. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT BARBARA? WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED FROM THOSE BONES? RIGHT. WELL, THE MOST INTERESTING THING WE'VE FOUND ABOUT BARBARA IS THAT SHE HAD A VERY SERIOUS INJURY IN THIS FOOT BONE, THE METATARSAL, THE LONG BONES OF THE FOOT ` VERY BADLY DAMAGED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED THAT INJURY, BUT THAT WOULD'VE REALLY IMPEDED HER MOBILITY FOR QUITE A LONG TIME. AND SHE SURVIVED THIS. AND SHE SURVIVED LONG ENOUGH TO MATE AS WELL, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT FROM THE FROM LOOKING AT THE BONE MATERIAL THAT SHE WAS A FEMALE AND SHE WAS PROBABLY ABOUT TO LAY EGGS. AND SO THAT MEANS THAT SHE WAS INJURED BUT SURVIVED LONG ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO MATE. AND THAT'S QUITE INTERESTING IMPLICATIONS FOR WHETHER SHE WAS PART OF A PACK, WHETHER SHE MANAGED TO SCAVENGE OTHER CARCASES OR WHETHER THE PACK FED HER. SO THAT'S THAT'S UNIQUE. THAT'S A UNIQUE FEATURE OF THIS STORY, BARBARA'S STORY. EACH ONE OF THESE SKELETONS HAVE AN INTERESTING HISTORY, AND THIS IS HERS. BARBS ` A TRULY STRONG WOMAN. BUT WE KNOW THIS IS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL MAJOR PREDATOR IN THIS LATE-DINOSAUR ERA. AND THERE WERE PROBABLY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF MILLIONS OF THEM AROUND THE WORLD. THEY WERE THE A-PREDATOR ` VERY SUCCESSFUL ANIMAL. 100 MILLION YEARS OF EVOLUTION TO ARRIVE AT WHAT YOU SEE NOW. AND THEN, OF COURSE, WE SEE THE DINOSAUR EXTINCTION ABOUT 65 MILLION YEARS AGO, AND THEY DON'T EXIST ANY MORE. BUT LOOK, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE'RE OPEN. THIS IS ON OPEN DISPLAY. EVERYBODY CAN WATCH THE ASSEMBLY, AND THAT'S QUITE EXCITING. WHERE ELSE WOULD YOU SEE A FULL ADULT T-REX DINOSAUR BEING ASSEMBLED IN THE MUSEUM? THIS IS UNIQUE. SO, IF ANYBODY WANTS TO COME BY AND WATCH THAT, THEY'RE VERY WELCOME. BUT IT'LL BE COMPLETE AT LEAST BY THE 2ND OF DECEMBER. YOU GUYS HEARD THAT. IF YOU WANT TO COME THROUGH, AUCKLAND MUSEUM, IT'S OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. COME CHECK OUT OLD BARBARA AND PETE HANG OUT TOGETHER. THEY LOOK FABULOUS. THANK YOU, DAVID. (JURASSIC PARK THEME) HAVE YOU BEEN? HAVE YOU TAKEN THE KIDS? I HAVEN'T. AND I SHOULD. THEY ARE TRULY AMAZING. I HOSTED AN EVENT THERE AT NIGHT TIME, SO THEY TOOK ME THROUGH THE MUSEUM TO GET UP TO WHERE THE EVENT WAS. I GOT THIS PRIVATE TOUR OF THE MUSEUM. IT WAS HONESTLY LIKE NIGHT IN THE MUSEUM. THE DINOSAURS ARE INCREDIBLE. IT IS QUITE INCREDIBLE TO ACTUALLY SEE THEM IN THE FULL-SCALE. THEY ARE MASSIVE. HUGE. TINY ARMS. HE JUST SAID BARB WAS ABOUT TO BE A MUM AND THEY COULD TELL BY HER BONES. JUST THE SCIENCE BEHIND THAT. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THEY WERE PRETTY SURE SHE IS A FEMALE. BARB COULD HAVE BEEN BARRY. WE'RE PRETTY SURE SHE'S A FEMALE AND THAT IF SHE WAS A FEMALE SHE WAS PROBABLY ABOUT TO GIVE BIRTH. GO AND CHECK IT OUT. IT'S INCREDIBLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED FEEDBACK ON PILOTS. I AM YET TO SEE A PIECE OF FEEDBACK FROM PEOPLE SAYING, YEAH, GO FOR GOLD. ONE PILOT, FINE. IT'S LIKE DOING A BUNGEEJUMPING WITH DOING THE FINAL CHECKS. I'D TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH THE INTENTIONS. I WOULD TRUST PILOTS FAR MORE THAN I WOULD TRUST ANY MODERN COMPUTER. THE MOST COMMON ERROR WITH TRUCKS IS COMPUTER FAULT. THIS IS IN RELATION TO PROPOSALS FROM AIRLINE COMPANIES TO CUT TWO PILOTS DOWN TO ONE. CRAZY. THANKS. POLICE HAVE LAUNCHED A HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION IN AUCKLAND AFTER A WORKER WAS STABBED AND KILLED IN A SANDRINGHAM DAIRY LAST NIGHT. EMERGENCY SERVICES WERE CALLED TO ROSE COTTAGE SUPERETTE AROUND 8PM AFTER AN OFFENDER ENTERED THE STORE ARMED WITH A KNIFE AND TOOK THE CASH REGISTER. THE VICTIM DIED IN HOSPITAL SHORTLY AFTER. POLICE REMAIN AT THE SCENE AND ASK THE PUBLIC TO COME FORWARD WITH ANY INFORMATION. A MAN (27) IS SET TO APPEAR IN COURT TODAY, FOLLOWING A FATAL HIT AND RUN IN WEST AUCKLAND. A WITNESS TOLD 1 NEWS A CAR APPEARED TO BE DRIVEN STRAIGHT INTO THE VICTIM AND A HANDGUN WAS PULLED AS THE CAR FLED THE SCENE. THE ALLEGED DRIVER WAS ARRESTED IN GLEN EDEN LAST NIGHT AND IS CHARGED WITH MURDER. POLICE ARE ASKING FOR ANYONE WHO MAY HAVE SEEN THE INCIDENT TO COME FORWARD. U.S. POLICE HAVE CONFIRMED SIX PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED IN A SHOOTING AT A WALMART STORE IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA YESTERDAY. FOUR OTHERS WERE ALSO INJURED. IT'S BELIEVED THE ATTACKER WAS THE STORE MANAGER AND HAD CALLED HIS COLLEAGUES INTO A BREAK-ROOM BEFORE OPENING FIRE. THE GUNMAN WAS FOUND DEAD AT THE SCENE. THE SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN TOLD IT CAN'T HOLD ANOTHER INDEPENDENCE REFERENDUM WITHOUT THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT'S CONSENT, AFTER A RULING BY THE UK'S SUPREME COURT. IT'S A SET BACK FOR THE SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT'S CAMPAIGN TO BREAK AWAY FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM, DESPITE VOTERS IN 2014 INITIALLY REJECTING SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE. FIRST MINISTER NICOLA STURGEON HAD WANTED TO HOLD A REFERENDUM IN OCTOBER AND SAYS SHE'LL CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR INDEPENDENCE. THE FACT IS, THE SNP IS NOT ABANDONING THE REFERENDUM ROUTE ` WESTMINSTER IS BLOCKING IT, AND IN THAT SCENARIO, UNLESS WE GIVE UP ON DEMOCRACY, AND AGAIN, FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF ANY DOUBT, I, FOR ONE, AM SIMPLY NOT PREPARED TO DO THAT. THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT HAS SO FAR REFUSED TO GRANT FORMAL CONSENT FOR A REFERENDUM. PROTESTS HAVE ERUPTED AT THE WORLD'S BIGGEST APPLE iPHONE FACTORY IN THE CHINESE CITY OF ZHENGZHOU. VIDEOS SHOW HUNDREDS OF WORKERS BEING CONFRONTED BY RIOT POLICE AND PEOPLE IN HAZMAT SUITS. SOME OF THE PROTESTERS WERE BEATEN AND DETAINED. REPORTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA SUGGEST HE DEMONSTRATIONS WERE ABOUT CONTRACT VIOLATIONS. LAST MONTH THE SITE WAS LOCKED DOWN DUE TO RISING COVID CASES, PROMPTING SOME WORKERS TO BREAK OUT OF THE FACTORY. TO SPORT ` AND THE HOSTILITY CONTINUES AT THE FOOTBALL WORLD CUP IN QATAR. GERMAN PLAYERS COVERED THEIR MOUTHS DURING THE TEAM PHOTO BEFORE THEIR MATCH AGAINST JAPAN IN RESPONSE TO FIFA'S BAN ON THE 'ONE LOVE' ARMBANDS. AND THE DANISH FOOTBALL FEDERATION WON'T SUPPORT FIFA BOSS GIANNI INFANTINO IF HE STANDS FOR RE-ELECTION, SAYING ITS DISAPPOINTED BY THE ACTIONS OF FOOTBALL'S GOVERNING BODY IN QATAR. I THINK A LOT OF HARM HAS BEEN DONE TO FOOTBALL. I THINK FOOTBALL IS ABOUT UNITING THE WORLD. THIS IS A STATEMENT OF FIFA. I DO NOT THINK THE PRESS CONFERENCE THAT WAS GIVEN BY INFANTINO IS A UNITED WAY TO SPEAK TO SO MANY NATIONS. MY OWN EMOTIONS ARE I'M DISAPPOINTED. I'M DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED. WE'VE BEEN ENGAGING WITH FIFA FOR A LONG TIME IN ORDER TO TRY TO HAVE THESE MESSAGES APPROVED. IN THE ACTION ON THE PITCH, JAPAN'S UPSET EUROPEAN POWERHOUSE GERMAN 2-1, WHILE SPAIN LEAD COSTA RICA 4-0. HERE'S YOUR BUSINESS MARKET UPDATE FOR THE MORNING.

THE EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY HAS CHOSEN THE BRITISH PARALYMPIC SPRINTER JOHN MCFALL AS THE FIRST DISABLED ASTRONAUT TO JOIN THE SPACE TRAINING TEAM. HE'S PART OF THE CLASS OF 2022 AND WILL WORK WITH DESIGNERS AND ENGINEERS TO SEE IF HE CAN BE THE FIRST DISABLED PERSON TO GO INTO SPACE. THE BBC'S REBECCA MORELLE HAS MORE. IT'S THE JOB OF DREAMS, WITH AN OFFICE THAT'S GOT SPECTACULAR VIEWS, OFFERING AN OUT OF THIS WORLD EXPERIENCE. MANY WOULD LOVE TO BE AN ASTRONAUT, BUT VERY FEW MAKE THE CUT. NOW IN PARIS, THE EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY HAS ADDED SOME NEW NAMES TO THE ROLE OF HONOUR, SELECTED FROM MORE THAN 22,000 APPLICANTS, THIS IS THE ASTRONAUT CLASS OF 2022. BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME, ESA IS WIDENING ITS POOL OF TALENT, BY RECRUITING THE FIRST EVER PARA-ASTRONAUT. I THINK BEING AN AMPUTEE, BEING AN ASTRONAUT WAS NEVER REALLY ON MY RADAR. JOHN MCFALL IS A PARALYMPIAN SPRINTER. HIS RIGHT LEG WAS AMPUTATED ABOVE THE KNEE AFTER A MOTORBIKE ACCIDENT. HE'S BEEN SELECTED USING EXACTLY THE SAME CRITERIA AS ALL EUROPEAN ASTRONAUTS. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT HE HAS A DISABILITY. I THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE A MIX OF SKILLS AND SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND THAT I COULD HELP THEM ANSWER THIS VERY ASPIRATIONAL QUESTION OF CAN WE GET SOMEONE WITH A PHYSICAL DISABILITY INTO SPACE TO WORK IN SPACE SAFELY? ALL ASTRONAUTS HAVE TO UNDERGO RIGOUROUS TRAINING. PART OF JOHN'S JOB WILL BE TO TEST HOW SUITS AND SPACECRAFTS NEED TO BE ADAPTED. DOESN'T MEAN HE WILL DEFINITELY BE ALLOWED TO GO INTO SPACE BUT THEY WANT TO PAVE THE WAY FOR HIM TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE OVERCOME CHALLENGES IN THEIR LIFE, THE CHALLENGES OF GOING INTO SPACE, THEY BRING SOMETHING EXTRA COMPARED TO THE REST OF THE CREW. THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO BRING THROUGH THIS PROJECT. THE LAST TIME A BRITISH ASTRONAUT GOT ONE OF THE JOBS WAS MORE THAN A DECADE AGO. THAT WAS TIM PEAK IN 2016. NOW TWO MORE BRITS MAY GET A CHANCE ON A MISSION. HOWEVER YOU FEELING ABOUT THE TRAINING THAT IS AHEAD? TODAY IS THE BEGINNING. ABSOLUTELY TODAY IS JUST THE BEGINNING. IT'S THE END OF A VERY LONG SELECTION PROCESS. BUT IN NO WAY AN END. AS THE BEGINNING OF A WHOLE NEW CHAPTER. I THINK THE TRAINING WILL BE INCREDIBLY EXCITING. I CAN'T WAIT TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH MY COLLEAGUES AND WILL BE ALL IN IT TOGETHER. THERE WILL SOON BE MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR THESE NEW ASTRONAUTS, INCLUDING TRIPS TO THE MOON. THIS IS THE MOMENT THAT WE OPEN UP SPACE TO EVERYONE. AFTER THE BREAK ` WE MEET THE WOMAN BEHIND SOME OF YOUR FAVOURITE CHILDHOOD TV SHOWS AND THIS YEAR'S TV LEGEND. # JUST GET HOLDING ON FOR A BRIGHTER DAY. WELCOME BACK TO BREAKFAST. IF YOU GREW UP IN AOTEAROA AND WATCHED CHILDREN'S TV SHOWS, YOU'VE PROBABLY WATCHED THE WONDERFUL WORK OF JANINE MORRELL-GUNN. THE WOMEN BEHIND KIDS TV, BRINGING TE REO TO 'SESAME STREET', EDUCATING TAMARIKI ON 'THE SON OF A GUNN SHOW', TO THE ICONIC 'WHAT NOW', BRINGING SMILES AND JOY TO SCREENS FOR NEARLY 40 YEARS. AND TONIGHT SHE'LL WIN THE 2022 TV LEGEND AWARD. SHE IS WITH US NOW. MORENA. MORENA. CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I KNOW YOU ARE NOT LOVING THIS. I AM MORE USED TO BEING BEHIND THE CAMERA. WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE. IT'S BEEN A FAMILY OF FEAR THIS YEAR. JASON WAS ON TALKING ABOUT BIG BUDDIES, YOUR HUSBAND. AND YOUR DAUGHTER WAS TALKING ABOUT GRIEF. YOU ARE BRILLIANT. I WANT TO GO BACK AND TALK ABOUT YOUR CAREER. I DIDN'T REALISE THAT YOU GOT YOUR START HERE IN THE TVNZ NEWSROOM. ABSOLUTELY. 37 YEARS AGO. I TYPED THE AUTOCUE FOR ANGELA. SHE WAS FIERCE AND A GOOD WAY. I BLEW UP SELWYN TOOGOOD'S CUE CARDS FOR BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. I WANTED ONLY EVER TO BE A MISSIONARY OR A TV PRODUCER. BECAUSE THEY ARE SO SIMILAR (!) SO SIMILAR. DID YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH THIS WORLD? I WANTED TO TELL STORIES FOR GOOD. THAT WAS A LITTLE NAIVE BACK THEN IN THE '80s. I LOVE IT TODAY AS MUCH AS WHEN I STARTED. HAD YOU GO FROM NEWS AND CURRENT AFFAIRS TO KIDS TV? I WAS TRANSFERRED TO DUNEDIN FOR A CHILDREN'S SHOW. THAT'S HOW I FIRST GOT INTO CHILDREN'S PROGRAMMING. I'LL BE QUITE HONEST, I REALLY WANTED TO COME BACK TO AUCKLAND, BROADCASTING CONFERENCE. I THOUGHT ABOUT IT, AND I WENT TO CHILDREN'S BECAUSE OF THE TRIP TO LONDON. FEAR ENOUGH. LET'S BACK YOUR PASSION? YEAH. I GOT TO GO TO NEWSROUND AND MEET ROALD DAHL AND BLUE PETER AND GO TO TOP OF THE POPS. ON THE WAY BACK, I GOT JETLAG IN SINGAPORE AND WROTE MY FIRST SHOW CALLED LIFE IN THE FRIDGE EXISTS, WHICH I GOT TO PRODUCE MYSELF. AMAZING. YOU BROUGHT THAT BACK HERE TO NEW ZEALAND, THAT NOW. IT'S ABOUT AN INCREDIBLE CAREER. WHEN YOU ARE BACK, WHAT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF? THAT'S LIKE ASKING ME WHO MY FAVOURITE CHILD IS. SO MANY SHOWS. I LOVE ALL OF THE SHOWS. AS A PRODUCER, IT'S LIKE YOU ARE HAVING A BABY. YOU GIVE BIRTH TO THIS PRODUCTION. BUT IF YOU ASK ME MY WHY, IT'S ALWAYS BEEN TO SHOWCASE THE INCREDIBLE TALENTS OF TAMARIKI OF AOTEAROA. ITS ABOUT GETTING AS MANY OF THOSE KIDS ON SCREEN AND SHARING THEIR STORIES AND SHOWCASING THEIR TALENTS. KIDS TV IS FIRST AND FOREMOST MEANT TO BE FUN. IT'S MEANT TO BE ENTERTAINING. BUT THERE ARE SO MANY EDUCATIONAL ASPECTS TO IT. I THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT IT MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE NOT ALONE. IT GIVES YOU A FRIEND. FOR SO MANY PEOPLE, YOUR HUSBAND WAS THAT PERSON. HE WAS MY FRIEND WHEN I WAS GROWING UP. I STILL REMEMBER WINNING A VHS TAPE FROM THE SON OF A GUNN SHOW. WAS THERE ANYTHING ON IT? YES. THOSE MEMORIES STICK WITH KIDS. THAT IS WHAT KEEPS US GOING ` SEEING THE IMPACT. THEY ARE ON THE CHAT AND WEBSITE AND SENDING HUNDREDS OF THINGS AND FOOD AND THE ODD PET. BECAUSE THEY WANT TO CONNECT AND WE BRING A BIT OF JOY TO THEIR DAY. PARTICULAR KID TO GET HOME AND OUT ON THEIR OWN AND THEY MAKE AN CUP OF NOODLES AND SIT DOWN AND WATCH. WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOU IN TERMS OF KIDS TV THAT THINGS ARE ONLINE? THEY ARE. WHILST THERE IS STILL A PLACE FOR LINEAR AND PARTICULAR THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES, IT'S UP TO US TO NOW BE ON TIKTOK AN INSTAGRAM AND WHERE THEY ARE AT. IT'S A BRAVE NEW WORLD OUT THERE. AS HUMBLE AS YOU ARE AND AS MUCH AS YOU DON'T LIKE THE LIMELIGHT, AS IT NICE FOR A MOMENT LIKE THIS TO BE GIVEN THIS AWARD TO STOP AND REFLECT ON THINK BACK ON YOUR CAREER? YES. ACTUALLY IT IS. I THINK WHAT I'M MOST EXCITED FOR TONIGHT IS THAT SOME OF OUR WHANAU I WITH US. WE HAVE BROUGHT UP SOME OF OUR WHITEBAIT TEAM. MANY OF THEM HAVE NEVER BEEN TO A TV AWARDS. TI STATED, TECHNICAL MANAGER AND ACCOUNTANT, PEOPLE WHO ARE VERY MUCH BEHIND-THE-SCENES. CONGRATULATIONS. I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE PROUD OF YOU, INCLUDING YOUR FAMILY. YOUR FOUR CHILDREN ARE OFTEN THE WORLD DOING AMAZING THINGS. GRACE WHO WE HAD ON THE SHOW EARLIER IS IN VANCOUVER RIGHT NOW. YES. THEY MUST BE VERY PROUD OF YOU. AW, THANK YOU. THANK YOU FROM STEPPING FROM BEHIND-THE-SCENES ENDING ON THE SHOW. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. TV LEGEND. THAT SOUNDS VERY OLD. (CHUCKLES) TV LEGEND AND ICONIC BOSS MAMA. COSTUME DESIGNERS HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD AHEAD OF THIS YEAR'S 89TH FARMER'S SANTA PARADE. TESSA PARKER HAS GONE ALONG TO LEARN MORE AND TRY A FEW OF THEM ON. WHAT ARE YOU ROCKIN', TESS? MORNING, TEAM. AS YOU CAN SEE, I'M RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF EXPLORING THE FARMERS CENTRE. COSTUME CUPBOARD. THIS PLACE IS MAGICAL, WONDERFUL, AND I CAN'T WAIT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT IT. WE WILL TALK . SOON TO SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN MAKING COSTUMES FOR 23 YEARS. THIS HAS BEEN A DECENT AMOUNT OF TIME FOR PAD YOU GET INTO THIS? MY KIDS PUT THEMSELVES INTO THE PAID YEARS AND YEARS AGO WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG. I WILL COME ALONG AND THINK, THIS IS REALLY GREAT. I WOULD LOVE TO WORK HERE WHEN WE WENT FOR FITTINGS. THERE WAS AN AD IN THE PAPER SAYING, LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO DO COSTUMING. I THOUGHT, THIS IS MY JOB. I HAVE BEEN HERE EVER SINCE. I CAN'T BLAME YOU. WORKING IN A PLACE LIKE THIS, YOU GET TO WEAR HATS LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME. WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS PARADES AND COSTUMES AND GETTING DRESSED UP? I THINK WHEN THE KIDS FIRST COME ALONG AND THEY ARE NEW, THEY PUT ON THE COSTUME AND IT'S A LITTLE BIT EXCITING AND THEY GET INTO CHARACTER. AND THEN ON PARADE DAY ITSELF THE AND THEY GET THE COSTUME AND MAKE-UP, THEY ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT KIDS. THEY LOOK DIFFERENT. IT'S ALMOST LIKE PUTTING A MASK ON. YOU ARE ANONYMOUS, SO YOU CAN BE AS CRAZY AS YOU WANT TO BE OR BE GENTLE LIKE A THEORY AND LOOK WONDERFUL. IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU ARE ONE OF CENTRES ALVES. YOU ARE A CLOTHES WORKER. DO YOU THINK IT'S THE MAGIC OF COSTUMES OR CHRISTMAS THAT MAKES THIS SO FUN? THAT A COMBINATION OF BOTH, I THINK. AGAIN, THE PARADE DAY KICKS CHRISTMAS AFTER. I THINK WE ALL KIND OF GET THE VIBE AND GET GOING AND START TO ENJOY. AFTER COVID LAST YEAR, WE WANT THIS PARADE. WE WANTED TO HAPPEN. WE WANT TO FEEL NORMAL AGAIN. IT'S AN EXCITING TIME. DEFINITELY. HOW DID YOU FIND HAVING THOSE DISRUPTIONS? YOU WORK ALL YEAR FOR THESE COSTUMES, WHICH TAKE A LOT OF EFFORT. WHAT WAS THAT LIKE? IT WAS STRANGE FOR US. WE HAVE ALL WORKED TOGETHER FOR SO LONG. IT WAS STRANGE NOT TO PUT A PARADE ON THE ROAD. BUT WE HAD TIME TO THINK A LOT MORE ABOUT WHAT WE WANT TO DO, WHAT THE OVERALL LOOK IS. I MADE SOME BEAUTIFUL UNICORN COSTUMES LAST YEAR, BUT THEY LOOK A LOT MORE NOW THIS YEAR BECAUSE THEY NEVER GOT SHOW ON. WE HAVE HAD TIME TO PUT MORE THERE. I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING IT ON THE ROAD. NICE. THERE ARE SO MANY GREAT COSTUMES IN THE MAKING. FOR THOSE AT HOME, STICK AROUND. AFTER THE BREAK, I WILL BE TRYING ON SOME OF HIS LEGENDARY COSTUMES. # I SAW MAMA KISSING SANTA CLAUS. # WELCOME BACK TO BREAKFAST. BEFORE WE GO, IT'S TIME TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT TESSA'S TRIED ON. WHAT ARE YOU ROCKIN', TESS. HERE WE ARE. OH MY GOSH! (LAUGHTER) DO YOU LIKE THE LOOK? I LOVE THE LOOK. WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS COSTUME? THIS IS SANTA BEAR. THEY ARE A FARMER'S CLASSIC. THEY CERTAINLY ARE. DO YOU LIKE MY LOOK? I LOVE THE LOOK ALTHOUGH I AM WONDERING IS IT HOT? DOESN'T SMELL A LITTLE BIT... MUSTY? I WILL BE HONEST, IT IS HOT, WHICH I CHOSE NOT TO USE, BECAUSE I AM A TOUGH GIRL. I AM REGRETTING THAT DECISION A LITTLE BIT. THAT LOOKS AMAZING. REMINDERS WHEN THE PARADE IS ON. I WILL DOUBLECHECK. IF PEOPLE WANT TO COME TO THE PARADE, IS IT THIS WEEKEND? IT IS THE SUNDAY. COME EARLY BECAUSE THE ROADS CLOSE AT 11 O'CLOCK. FIND A NICE SPOT, GET YOURSELF COMFY, THERE IS PRE-PARADE ENTERTAINMENT AND LOTS OF PERFORMERS. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PLENTY OF WATER. THE PARADE STARTS AT 1 O'CLOCK. IT IS ALL GO FROM THERE. YOU WILL GET TO SEE SOME SANTA BEARS. I AM NOT GOING TO LIE, I CAN HARDLY SEE YOU. I FEEL LIKE I AM GOING TO WAKE YOU IN THE FACE WITH THE MICROPHONE. THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US AROUND. THIS PLACE IS INCREDIBLE. YOU WORK SO HARD TO BRING CHRISTMAS CHEER TO THE CHILDREN OF AUCKLAND. WE WILL SEE YOU THIS WEEKEND. I DO RECOGNISE SANTA BEAR. ITS BIZARRE. I CAN HEAR YOU, BUT I CANNOT SEE YOU. WHAT AM I WATCHING? I WOULD LOVE TO SEE TESSA OUT ON A FLOAT THIS WEEKEND. JENNY, THANK YOU FOR COMING IN AND HANGING OUT WITH US. WE WILL SEE TOMORROW. HAVE A FANTASTIC THURSDAY. CAPTIONS BY PHOEBE UPTON, JULIE TAYLOR, KRISTIN WILLIAMS AND JORDAN WAETFORD CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR. WWW.ABLE.CO.NZ COPYRIGHT ABLE 2022
