The Finance Minister says the fuel crisis and international oil shock hit the economy hard in the last quarter. Of course we'll know more once Stats NZ does their official data release but it is important to remember that the data is backward looking

3:18 A health expert believes more research is urgently needed into scabies. Reports of the condition have risen across the North Island, including in Pukakohe and Franklin. Dr Simon Thornley says New Zealand lacks treatment options.

3:31 Voce 5 It's a shame in New Zealand the tablet is not more widely available. One of the tricky things with scabies is that you have to treat the whole family and that can take some convincing.

4:47 Voce 2 Partly cloudy in Auckland today. A few showers clearing to a fine afternoon. And 15 degrees down to an overnight low of 4 degrees tonight. An overnight low for the next couple after tonight of 1 degree. Strap in. Currently, though, 12 degrees in Auckland City.

5:12 Voce 5 Good morning, welcome to the show. It is Robert and Jeanette, and today is Gerry's birthday.

5:16 Voce 2 And he insists that we read every single text out.

5:20 Voce 5 Every single text that comes in for him. There you go.

5:22 Voce 2 He's the producer. We will do as he says. Read it, Jeanette. Says, my father-in-law is 93 this year, but reverses it. He says he's 39 with 60 years of added knowledge. Happy birthday, Gerry. I love that. That's great.

5:34 Voce 5 Hey, are there any unwritten rules? You know, like when you go to a concert, Western Springs, Eden Park, Power Station, Town Hall, Civic. Spark. Spark, right. Go to a gig. Obviously, there's some rules like not singing too loudly, although I don't mind singing, but if you're really off, if you're really out of time, out of key, that can bug people around you. You can. They're paid to hear, you know, Lionel Richie, not hear you do, lady, you know. If you're seated, you try and sit towards the end of the row. If you're going to do the multiple bathroom breaks, if you can score that seat, that's always a good one there. And women's toilet's always a cue. I feel for you, man. Yeah. I go past these long...

6:09 Voce 2 It's because we all take a friend. That's why. Double the length. But what about leaving a concert early? And we're not talking like if you feel crook or something like that. I mean like in the last dying sort of minutes, I guess, like the last song or two. Yeah. If you've ever done that. Have you ever done that? You know, like it's a strategic move to get ahead of the crowd. Essentially, I can assume that that's the only reason that you would.

6:35 Voce 6 I have a confession.

6:36 Voce 5 I also have one.

6:38 Voce 2 but do you guys 934 is the text number have you ever left a concert early it's got nothing really to do with the artist it's about you and wanting to be the first out of that car park which can take

6:52 Voce 5 an hour if you go to Spark as well people are leaving early people are leaving early have you ever done that

14:12 73.4 The Breeze, Auckland's Breakfast with Robert and Jeanette Kelty. Good morning, welcome to the show. It is a Tuesday morning.

14:20 Voce 2 Sometimes concerts are on Tuesdays, aren't they? Often. Often they are. On school nights it's when visiting touring acts can get into Spark Arena or Eden Park or wherever it might be. Robbie Williams is a Tuesday in November this year.

14:33 Voce 5 Sometimes they'll have a tour in Australia so that those usually get the weekends because there's more people. Tack us on then. And they tack us on before or after so we get a weekday.

14:41 Voce 2 What are the rules around concerts? Obviously, you need a ticket to get in. That's generally the first rule. Gerry was just mentioning before, you need to be wearing clothing.

14:52 Voce 5 Yeah, that's important. That is.

14:54 Voce 2 But other than that, once you're in there, it's just like, you know, being good to your neighbour, really.

15:00 Voce 5 Generally. That's the general rule. Yeah.

15:03 Voce 2 Maybe not singing too loudly. You mentioned that before.

15:05 Voce 5 People can put you off when they do that, Jeanette.

15:07 Voce 2 No, but I like people that go to a concert and are having a genuinely really good time. Like, you can't take that away from them.

15:14 Voce 5 People pay good money. They want to go along, have a good time. Maybe a few beverages to get them in the mood as well. You know what I mean?

15:19 Voce 2 Closing ceremony at the Commonwealth Games was yesterday. Delta Goodwin appeared. She smashed it up. She's aging backwards, that woman. She's just beautiful.

15:30 Voce 5 She looked fantastic. Incredible. Sounded amazing. Talented.

15:33 Voce 2 My goodness me. And also simple minds. They, like, closed it, closed it out. out late at the very end.

16:03 Voce 5 And this is a moment in a gig, sometimes, not just simple minds, people start walking towards the exit. Some folks would say that's too soon, you haven't waited for the end.

16:14 Voce 2 Like the lights to completely go down, the curtains come down.

16:18 Voce 5 Yeah, and that they are done, the lights come back on, that's your cue, that's when the gig's over.

16:22 Voce 2 And respectfully, you should stay till the end.

16:24 Voce 5 Most people stay till the end, you've spent good money, you stay till the end of the gig. The question this morning is, have you ever left a gig early?

16:34 Voce 2 why what was going on do you know what i have i put my hand up and say i have it was a week night it was last year actually okay there wouldn't be many concerts that i have left early because as you say you pay bloody good money for those things you're staying to the last second sure but it was a tuesday and it was at spark arena yeah and oh my goodness that car park at spark arena is a nightmare especially if you get there relatively late and you've ended up on the top on the top shelf literally the outside part and sometimes you can sit there for 45 minutes to an hour and you don't even move I couldn't do that on a Tuesday night so it was James Blunt

17:19 I looked up the set list because he'd been, I don't know, he's probably in Christchurch or something beforehand. So I knew what was coming. Right. And I did, I wanted to hear the very last song, which was from memory, 1973.

17:31 Voce 5 Great song. Great song.

17:33 Voce 2 So I heard it start. And I think it was either with me or Charlie, one of my kids. And like about halfway through, we just looked at each other and went, we should just beat the cue. It's a Tuesday night.

17:44 Voce 5 So all May's doing is singing and all of a sudden it's like.

17:46 Voce 2 It wasn't this song, it was another one.

17:47 Voce 5 That was it, he's gone.

17:48 Voce 2 But then by the time you make your way out and you're passing people and you feel really bad, you're still hearing the song. You've almost heard all of it, but you are out first and you're in that car park. And we were off on the Harbour Bridge before some folks had even got out of Spark Arena.

18:02 Voce 5 Okay, well, that kind of makes sense. Well, sometimes. Seeing as though we're being honest with each other and we are confessing. 2003, Western Springs.

18:10 Voce 2 It's going back a while.

18:15 Voce 5 I love Robbie Williams. I would have stayed till the end. Problem was I got a ride I got a ride to the gig My mate's like You know what

18:28 We're parked ages away And I've got a long drive And I've got to drop you off

18:35 Voce 2 That's a big call Yeah

18:36 Voce 5 And you did And he loves Robbie Should we just Get ahead of the crowd Get ahead of the crowd Okay And I walked off And I hear this in the background

18:46 Voce 2 crown i feel like that's the only reason you leave is to get ahead of the crowd or indeed if you're not enjoying it but yeah on both occasions generally you've made the call that you're

18:54 Voce 5 not going to go if you're not going to enjoy it you're not going to put good decent money down there jerry go on jerry your turn to confess welcome to the club what you got there yeah

19:03 Voce 6 my confession is i bought my wife mumford and sons and a plus one ticket okay she doesn't know anyone in the country so obviously i was the plus one which is a bit sneaky of me and when we're there i said are you tired we've got two young kids she said yes the gig hadn't started and i said strategic decision should one of us get a bit tipsy the gig hadn't even started and you're talking about leaving we were talking about leaving on the drive on the motorway in i said if someone offered us the money back now would we turn around we said yes okay that's how long did you make it no we got to the very last song in that moment where the music was just kind of looping out we said you know what let's get in the car okay so you've got

19:45 Voce 2 you're a bit like me and James you got to the end never looked at the set list

19:49 Voce 6 don't know what we missed but I felt cleaner that way

19:51 Voce 2 it's probably better not to know in a way and you got out early

19:54 Voce 6 and I was just pleased to be the plus one really

19:57 Voce 2 hey Gerry happy birthday

So I'm bringing it back again. Did you know that Cinderella in the fairy tale is not her actual name?

35:19 Voce 3 Ata marie Auckland, I'm Grace Cocker with the latest at 7.30. Officers who investigated the death of Pauline Hanna found dead in her Remiawera home are due to give evidence at her inquest today. A coronial hearing is underway about two years after her husband, Philip Polkinghorne, was found not guilty of her murder. As RNZ reports, one of the lead police investigators is expected on the stand today, as well as the officers who were among the first on the scene. There are fresh concerns performance-based pay could introduce bias into the science sector. More than 400 workers will strike today, opposing PHF Science's push to implement the system. Centrix data shows consumer arrears have fallen to their lowest level since 2021. Spokesperson Monica Lacey says that the improvement is encouraging. A lot of this is supported by lower interest rates. Homeowners have a lot more cash in their pockets, which has helped them to manage their bills better and potentially pay off some debt that they had previously. President Trump insists talks are going on right now at Iran's request. But Iran claims it is only talking with Oman, not the US. Trump told reporters that Iran doesn't like to admit it's happening.

46:58 Voce 2 Lovely, lovely, Kerry. Geri is a vegan. And so last year I baked this vegan cake that I've never made before. It was so good, wasn't it? I have now made that for people that are not vegan because I absolutely thoroughly believe that it's better than any cake I've ever made.

47:13 Voce 6 From memory, very moist.

47:15 Voce 2 Oh, so delish.

47:16 Voce 6 I know, that's a word people don't like.

47:18 Voce 2 But it was. When it comes to cakes, spot on. When it comes to a cake. Spot on. Now, Robert said to me, what can I do? Because I generally take care of the baking side of things for obvious reasons. He goes, what can I do? And I said, you know what you can do? What you did in the most recent, I can't remember whose birthday it was.

47:33 Voce 5 Was it Gerry's first, what, like one year anniversary?

47:36 Voce 2 Anniversary, one year anniversary. You were responsible for the cake topper.

47:39 Voce 5 Cake topper. It's a craft session. And yesterday I was at the $2 shop waiting for Jeanette to tell me how big the cake was so I could match the cake topper.

47:49 Voce 2 It's a three-tiered, 20-centimetre cake.

47:52 Voce 5 Best $5 I've ever spent in my life on Gerry's birthday. The last time I did a cake topper, ended up in the bin. That's all I'm saying. Done another one for you.

48:01 Voce 6 I didn't throw that in the bin. It just ended up in the bin. Yeah, it did. Different set. Different set.

48:06 Voce 5 Yeah, that is true.

48:07 Voce 2 Do you want to describe what Rob's done there with his... Snips and his papier-mâché?

48:10 Voce 6 Yeah, it's a gold-plated topping. I assume not real gold, but thank you, Rob. Little diamond-encrusted sticky-on things.

48:19 Voce 5 It's like a bedazzled. Like if the guy who did Elvis' jumpsuits in Las Vegas threw up on something. That's it. That's what you've got.

48:28 Voce 2 None of it is edible. It's bedazzled to hell. And highly toxic. Yeah.

48:31 Voce 6 I would imagine. It's three-dimensional. It's actually popping up. I mean, if my four-year-old did it, I would say, good job, good effort.

48:38 Voce 2 We're going to pop a photo of this up on our Breeze Auckland Instagram.

48:41 Voce 5 Can we talk about the cake? What kind of vegan cake have we got here?

48:43 Voce 2 Oh, it's just a vegan cake. It's just delicious is what it is. And if anyone wants it or needs it or whatever, you can always message me and I'll flick you the link to it because, man, it's so, so good. But that's not it.

48:53 Voce 5 Yeah, we wanted to celebrate the man. We know Jerry used to be in a band. I mean, he's a great singer. We know this. He's got a fantastic voice. We want to celebrate the man's birthday with a song in his honour with apologies to Steve Perry to the tune of Oh Sherry.

50:04 we waxed Jerry's hairy chest and gave him labor pains at the same time to see if it would hurt it does you made him run around the block with a backpack full of cream to make like butter and then we had to walk through like the building wearing like woman's undies and stuff like he's
