Chapter 1: What are Todd McClay's thoughts on Trump's proposed tariffs?
Opinionated, informed, unapologetic. Heather Duplessy-Allen on the Mike Hosking Breakfast. With Bailey's Real Estate, your local experts with national and global reach. Newstalk ZB. And the comedian Chris Parker is in with us after eight. Heather Duplessy-Allen.
I'm not one to get excited at election time about the outside chance that some small party's going to make it into Parliament, but I reckon this year's different. I reckon if opportunity plays this right, they may actually do it. They've got a good chance. Yesterday's Roy Morgan poll had them at 6%.
Chapter 2: How is Sky TV adapting to the changing landscape of sports broadcasting?
Now, I don't know how much stock I put in that poll yesterday. It was really volatile. National went up 5%. Labour went down 7.5%. And I think swings that big have got to be questioned because they just don't seem credible. But this is now a trend for opportunity. They are now sitting close to, or in this case, above five in multiple polls.
And knocking off 5% is the one thing they really have to do because this is the biggest hurdle for a small party trying to get in from the outside. Voters do not want to vote for a party if they don't think it's going to make it in. It's a weird part of our voter psyche that makes no sense, the wasted vote thing.
Chapter 3: What concerns does comedian Chris Parker have about the world?
But it's not a concern for opportunity at this stage. It might not matter if they can keep polling this high. Now, I reckon what's going on here is they are benefiting from the same thing that New Zealand First is benefiting from at the moment, which is voter frustration. Same with Pauline Hansel, Nigel Farage, Donald Trump.
Voters are so frustrated by regular politicians ignoring them and their concerns for decades now that they just want to blow things up. They'll vote for whoever they think is going to blow it up. Break up the supermarket duopoly, break up the gen tailors, buy back BNZ, stop the immigration, whatever the idea. Doesn't matter how kooky, it's interesting now.
For voters on the right, New Zealand First is their blow it up party. For voters on the left, their blow it up party is Opportunity.
Chapter 4: How does the proposed tariff impact New Zealand's trade?
Because Opportunity is the party for voters who are frustrated by Labour, who never do anything, never brave enough to do anything. and voters who are frustrated by the Greens who are just too weird really to be taken seriously. Opportunity is a radical left-wing party with a land tax and a UBI fronted by a nice lady from Auckland.
Now, if they can play this right, if that polling can hold up close to 5%, 2026 might just, to coin a phrase on this show, be their year. News of the world in 90 seconds. Protests have erupted in the UK near the site where the teenager Henry Novak was stabbed and killed. Two people were arrested, 11 police officers and a police dog were injured and Starmer has called for calm.
The attacks directed towards police officers in Southampton last night were disgraceful and completely unacceptable. This is a time for serious work, not rage. Nigel Farage, though, isn't one to waste an opportunity.
Chapter 5: What are the implications of delayed sports broadcasts for fans?
The anger that you saw spilling out in Southampton last night... And which is in danger... Which is in danger of getting considerably worse... For their part, the police are playing damage control. We are apologising and have apologised for the fact that Henry was arrested and that he was handcuffed at that time. You know, we are apologising for that and we're very sorry for that.
Now, this woman saw the protest slash riot develop outside her window.
Yeah, it was just carnage, really, for four hours. Bricks were being thrown, a bin was set on fire and pushed through the police line. I get that people are angry, but you're taking it out on people like us and it's got nothing to do with us, you know. It's horrific what's happened for everyone involved.
Now, in other news, the WHO say those who have put a travel ban on countries with Ebola could actually be making it worse.
Chapter 6: How is the youth crime prevention initiative funded?
Blanket travel restrictions imposed by some countries are disrupting supply chains and hindering the response. We ask countries that have imposed blanket travel restrictions to lift them.
The Waymo automated taxis have faced increased criticism with claims of running red lights, driving like teenagers, nearly hitting pedestrians and apparently driving into an active crime scene. So they've had to roll out a spokesperson. That was during a manual testing mission. So the whole time there was a test driver in control of the car, the autonomous system wasn't even engaged.
And this points to the fact that even trained drivers sometimes can make mistakes. Finally, in what's been called one of the defining media shifts of the decade, traditional streaming has been overtaken. YouTube has overtaken Netflix in average daily viewing. On average, a person is watching YouTube for 99 minutes a day.
Chapter 7: What challenges do Ukrainian refugees face in the EU?
Netflix has dropped from 100 minutes to only 93 minutes. The only major region where Netflix is still slightly ahead is the UK. Unsurprisingly, Gen Z are using the YouTube the most, while South Korea... was the biggest country user. That is news of the world in 90 seconds. Now, it looks like peace in the Middle East is a little bit shaky this morning.
The US and Iran are exchanging fire in kind of a serious way again. Most notable, I think, probably is Iran hitting a terminal at Kuwait's international airport. That's killed at least one person and it's wounded 63. And Benjamin Netanyahu is not helping.
Chapter 8: How are public perceptions of policing changing in the UK?
He's sitting on the sideline trying to get this thing up and going again. He says the Kuwait attack is justification if Trump wants to order a, quote, full-scale return to military action. It's Trump's decision, he says. Israel is ready. The US forces are ready. So we'll see where that goes. 13 past six.
Heather, you can walk onto any building site in Auckland and you will see the slave labour occurring with third world immigrants who can't speak a word of English getting paid less than minimum wage. Labour caused it with their Visa 21 nonsense. This government has done nothing to address it. Paul, thank you on that subject. Andrew Callaghan, Sean Partners is with us. Hello, Andrew.
Yeah, morning, Heather. Right, what do you make of this proposed tariff? Oh, gosh, here we go again, don't we? So terrorists raised their heads. Now, if you thought news flow on the terrorists had been sort of quiet, you're probably right. But there has been a bit going on in the background.
Not only that, but you've had your little military excursion in the Middle East as well, which has tended to dominate the headlines. Now, the key context here, of course, is that the... You've had this legal challenge to the original tariff justification. Remember back to Liberation Day.
So currently the administration, the Trump administration, is having to process refunds of all those original tariffs. So they've been working in the background on a way to how to reimpose tariffs. in a manner that can withstand judicial oversight, however spurious or bizarre that may be. And now we have it.
And the punchline here, from our point of view, is a potential 12.5% tariff on us and many other countries as well. And the justification here is that we've not done enough to prevent or counteract importation of goods made with forced labour. So this practice, according to the announcement overnight, bans.
burdens or restricts us commerce now it's all contained within a 52 year old piece of legislation section 301 of the 1974 trade act there are further investigations going on so you could see further tariffs being announced whether they apply to us or not we don't know now the current you've got a 10 global tariff for them they call a global tariff at the moment
They brought that in after this legal challenge to the original tariffs. That expires in July. That was a temporary measure. So they've got to do something. Look, I had a quick look at the report this morning. Heather, it's 100 pages. It came out overnight. I haven't had time to digest it all. Remember, it is proposed. I'm fascinated to hear what the minister had to say.
At the heart of it, it feels a little bit cynical. It feels kind of engineered. But then again, you know, these guys make the rules on this, don't they? Quite right, and you can see why they want to, as you just explained. Right, what's the deal with the building consents? Yeah, back to the land of the long white cloud and something a little bit more understandable, local building consents.
