Speaker 2 (00:24):
Rerapoday There, Welcome back to me and welcome to the
re Wrap. All the best bets from the Mike Hosking
Breakfast on News Talks Ed be hosted by Ryan Bridge
this week and a Sillier package. I am a Gileian
Hart and yes, we kick off the year by with
(00:45):
some events, and we've discussed how important events are to
the economy, if they are at all. We'll also talk
about TikTok going dark and then re emerging from the dark,
Meghan and Harry and podcasting the experts barely and some
(01:08):
great hagus news for some people in the podcast.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I'll think a lot of haggers fans tune in. I think, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
But before any of that, ah, the GDP. Nobody ever
gets sick of talking about the GDP. So what better
way to start twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Luxen has achieved goal number one for the new year.
Still the headlines control the narrative. He's done that in
one fowl swoop is twenty twenty five. Laser Focus is
heading the g spot growth that is not surprising. The
numbers pre Christmas were absolutely abysmal. Our worst recession since
nineteen ninety one. Remember that business liquidation's highest in a decade.
(01:47):
Real GDP for the year to June get this is
expected to be drum roll please, er point five percent
GDP per person per capita is the one that matters,
and that's going to be negative again. We will be
beaten by the UK, We will be beaten by the US,
which is north of two percent. Australia even with Olbo
(02:08):
in charge, we'll at one point seven percent. Even France
will be ahead of us, and they've barely had a
function in government since before the Olympics, for goodness sake.
So Luxin's picked the right face to punch in this issue.
And you could look at this cynically and say, well,
it's window dressing. Nikola takes economic development now growth of
Melissa Ly, which, by the way, immediately sounds like such
(02:30):
a good idea. You wonder how Melissaly lasted a year
and what sounds like an important portfolio to begin with, right,
But the fact is it hasn't really been seen as
a major portfolio until now, more of a side dish
than a Maine. So will this really change the dial?
That is the question, and that all depends on how
ambitious willis will be in giving this a go and
(02:50):
getting us out of this hole. Sharpen the raiser I
reckon in the public service, privatize some assets. Roger Partridge
did a great piece in The Herald the other week
about this, saying exactly this, Why do we own so
many assets? Why don't we sell down our stake in them?
Governments are generally crap at running stuff, unless you're the
one which was rather good at running us into the ground,
(03:11):
into the hole that we now find ourselves in. So
will they look at things like tax breaks for multinationals
like Ireland did? Are they going to be big and bold?
Talk is cheap and a reshuffle won't fix our problems.
But if Nikola and her team of senior ministers that
she'll be corralling to focus on growth have the kahoonas
to make big, confident and game changing calls. If they
(03:34):
can begin to turn around our thirty year productivity slide
even a pinch before the next election, then it won't
just be our collective prosperity grown growing, but surely it'll
be Luxeon's poll numbers too.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Honestly, if somebody asked me to do a polly this
time of year, I would just say, oh, look, just
fill it out for me.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Go away, leave me alone. Would there'd be my response.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It'd come up at about eighty seven percent. Eighty seven
percent prefer go away, leave me alone.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
We rap, can't you see.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I'm on the way down to the Viadact to watch
some boats go around and around.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
I went down to Auckland's waterfront to see what all
the fuss was about at the weekend, and boy, it
was absolutely humming, crowded with people watching the sail gp
boats being loaded up, the sailors waving to their fans
just meters away. You could almost touch them. It was
pretty cool. Some was shining, the bars were full. Auckland
was up on its foils at the weekend. A fantastic
(04:37):
feeling for a city that gets so much wrong think infrastructure,
cycle ways, road cones, housing, et cetera. It was a
wonderful feeling actually now, and not because I'd had any beers.
I hadn't had any bears at this point. Now, Russell
Coots is talking about bringing the event back again. They're
in talks apparently for a five year hosting deal. And
it's easy to get carried away, isn't it, especially after
(04:59):
a couple of laggers. It's such a cool event, you think, yeah,
five years, you build a reputation around it, you promote
the city, you know, I get the parents up, I'd
get the in laws, I get them north for the weekend,
take them down to the wharf to check it out.
Tourism opportunities, hospitality opportunities, et cetera. But when Russell Coots
says they're in talks over a deal with who and
(05:20):
how much will it cost us the America's Cup, remember
that we forked out as tax and ratepayers two hundred
and fifty million dollars the end result a net loss
of one hundred and fifty million dollars. Sure, we had COVID,
but remember they also told us that the old mug
would boost tourism and our international image. Guess what, We're
(05:41):
still not back to pre COVID tourism numbers. Plus, does
anybody seriously believe those MB cost benefit analyses that they
do to determine whether we should host an event and
whether we should put public money in the dancing competition
that they talked about last year. You know, the net
benefit will be ten million dollars, so you just pop
five million dollars into the kitty here, Really are we
(06:05):
buying this? Do we still trust these numbers? Especially after
MB screwed up the calculations on the cost benefit analysis
of major events for the best part of two years.
We learned that last year too. Don't get me wrong,
loved the event at the weekend, loved the vibe. But
if we can't make the numbers work, or we can't
trust the numbers, it should be an easy no. Because,
(06:27):
like its residents, Auckland tourists also like a place that
looks presentable, is easy to get around, and isn't covered
in robe cones and scaffolding.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yeah, and I think I might have started talking about
this city last year, but that was a long time ago. Now,
that was back in twenty twenty four, whole new year.
So I'm going to say it again.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
When they talk about the.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Positive effects on an economy, whether it's in the New
Zealand economy or the Auckland economy or whatever city, something's
happened the event is happening in I still don't think
I'm personally how do I gain from there? I'm pleased
that you know, there's some bars and restaurants that are
(07:11):
having some good days, but I don't work at those
bars and restaurants.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
How does this help me? Can somebody explain that we
wrap let me such a hater? Glenn? Why do you
hate you yachting so much? Because it's silly? It's main reason,
and we don't know how to start, and we blues.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Carrying on tech took That's another thing I'm also not
a fan of.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
But I'm not quite sure why I got swatched off.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
So about an hour ago, Trump posts on True Social,
which is his social media platform, saying he doesn't want
TikTok to go dark, and he doesn't want He's going
to pass an executive order on Monday in the United
States local time. He says Americans deserve to see our
exciting inauguration, so he doesn't. I mean, he's not particularly
worried about the company. He's not particularly worried about the
(08:01):
creators on the platform. He's worried that people won't see
him be inaugurated as again the president of the United States.
Prison elect. He says, I would like this is interesting.
I would like to see the United States have a
fifty percent ownership position in any joint venture, because obviously
they need to sell it to a US company in
order that they continue to operate in the United States
(08:22):
because they are Some security experts in the United States
think that and intelligence agencies think that they will use
it Beijing to spy on Americans, particularly federal employees in
the United States. So if they sell, well even half
of it, according to Trump, to an American owned company
of his choosing, then you can keep your platform, you
(08:43):
can keep your billions of dollars in valuation. Otherwise you're
up shrike Creek. Basically, they had to laugh.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Yesterday what's the number two? You know, burst out of
the bedroom.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
But they turned off TikTok and America because suddenly the
TikTok is that she follows were unvulnerable. It was like,
I don't think it happened without any warning. So so
much for all those stories about you know, people getting
their news from social media. That news hadn't quite chuckled
through anyway. It's back on now and I obviously had
(09:17):
to laugh at People were then flopped to other social
media apps, some of which were even more Chinese owned
than TikTok was, so I don't think that really achieved
what they wanted to do there the rewrap it right now.
I don't know if you were aware, but you're listening
to a podcast. If you don't know how podcasts work,
(09:40):
if you need some help with that, there are some
experts Harry and Meghan apparently experts.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
They get paid heap for it.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Meghan and Harry their podcast update on that, and also
this week, Harry is getting this day in court finally.
This is about the Murdoch newspapers Fiesco. He's sewing them,
and a whole bunch of other famous people were sewing
alongside him, but they've now pulled out everyone else, including Grant.
They've all gone on. I do you know what the
(10:10):
legal build there looks are massive, and it's not like
Harry's got lots of money. They keep moaning about how
poor they are. Anyway, He's going to court this week.
We'll see what happens. He's the lone ranger, the lone wolf,
taking on the Murdoch newspapers.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
But at the.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Same time, Meghan is facing accusations that she's a bully
and she's a psychopath. This is from staff who worked
on her podcast. Apparently she's quite nasty, and they have
come out and said they're speaking their truth. Everybody's got
their truth, don't they. Anyway? The headline is all about
(10:43):
the fact that they're going to need long term therapy.
This is the staff that worked for Megan Markle.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
A lot of people don't understand how stressful it can
be producing a podcast. You would know, well, I know,
and I'm just thinking on hearing this why I don't
have a staff.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
It's just me.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Does you are you abusive to yourself?
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Yeah? Sometimes.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
The thing that gets me about the story overall is
the fact that anyone who rotates in the circles that
Harry and Meghan do would be getting long term therapy anyway,
do you know what I mean? It's the California thing
to do. Everyone's in therapy, so it's not like that's
something that's a revelation. I would have thought, Yeah, yeah, no,
I do.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Unfortunately, I have to bully my staff to make these
podcasts happen.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Otherwise that just wouldn't happen. I'm trying.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
I'm basically I basically run a climate of fair so
all the people who are working away making sure that
this podcast is absolutely perfect every time, that they're all
in fear for their jobs, all those all of them.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Sorry, it's just I run a tight ships a rerap
right now.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
If you're a regular restener listener, and I'm sure you are,
to either this podcast, the rewrap or news talks have
been similar to this, but it's mostly about the other hosts,
not the breakfast host. You'll know that I like to
end with stories about food or comments about food, so
(12:17):
when he goes away hungry. I don't know why I
like to do that, but I just do. I'm not
sure that's what's going to happen this time.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Hagis Scottish, obviously feast that I've actually tried a little
bit just because of the idea of it that didn't
really suit me. But what I didn't realize is that
the original recipe, the original Hagisa, has never been allowed
in hasn't been allowed to the United States for at
least the last fifty years because of the lung. The
(12:47):
sheep's lung is banned. You cannot import sheep's lung into
the United States because.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Tell me about it, it's such a mission.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Have you ever tried. Apparently, do you know, just as
a by the bye hagis Their exports are up one
hundred and thirty percent over the last couple of years.
People are loving it in places in Asia and in
Ghana and all these weird places.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Anyways, no problem getting the sheep lung into it.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
No problem, no problem getting the sheep lunging. Apparently it
fills with gross fluid from the killing process and it's
a bit of a health hazard, so the FDA banned it.
But the taste and that texture when you get that fluid,
get that in the oven. Anyway, there is a company
out of Edinburgh, mcswen apparently in Edinburgh has come up
(13:34):
with a workaround to try and get this this recipe
into the United States of America and they're hoping to
do that by the end of the year. We're the
first time in fifty years that they'll see haggis. There.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Things you didn't know?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
What does grow in the sheeps lung? Or was it?
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Well, actually I don't know what they're doing with it.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
But apparently beyond beyond sheep's loan.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Presumably it won't be filled with fluid.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Impossible lung impossible. Lung. Here we go order for a.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Rebel Haggis hagus that's not Hagis. You won't believe it's
not Hagas. It's not the same without the chiefs long
as it I don't know if I don't come on
you aheader. Pretty sure, pretty sure, it's pretty memorable when
you have hegas. I think most people will remember if
they had it. I am Bill in hat. It was
(14:24):
the rere wrap, first one for the year. But loose,
you know, as we warm into it, things will probably
tightened up, he said.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Hopefully.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I'm just going to go and bully my staff and
I'll be back with you again tomorrow seven.

all the people who are working away making sure that
this podcast is absolutely perfect every time, that they're all
in fear for their jobs, all those all of them.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Sorry, it's just I run a tight ships a rerap
right now.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
If you're a regular restener listener, and I'm sure you are,
to either this podcast, the rewrap or news talks have
been similar to this, but it's mostly about the other hosts,
not the breakfast host. You'll know that I like to
end with stories about food or comments about food, so
(12:17):
when he goes away hungry. I don't know why I
like to do that, but I just do. I'm not
sure that's what's going to happen this time.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Hagis Scottish, obviously feast that I've actually tried a little
bit just because of the idea of it that didn't
really suit me. But what I didn't realize is that
the original recipe, the original Hagisa, has never been allowed
in hasn't been allowed to the United States for at
least the last fifty years because of the lung. The
(12:47):
sheep's lung is banned. You cannot import sheep's lung into
the United States because.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Tell me about it, it's such a mission.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Have you ever tried. Apparently, do you know, just as
a by the bye hagis Their exports are up one
hundred and thirty percent over the last couple of years.
People are loving it in places in Asia and in
Ghana and all these weird places.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Anyways, no problem getting the sheep lung into it.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
No problem, no problem getting the sheep lunging. Apparently it
fills with gross fluid from the killing process and it's
a bit of a health hazard, so the FDA banned it.
But the taste and that texture when you get that fluid,
get that in the oven. Anyway, there is a company
out of Edinburgh, mcswen apparently in Edinburgh has come up
(13:34):
with a workaround to try and get this this recipe
into the United States of America and they're hoping to
do that by the end of the year. We're the
first time in fifty years that they'll see haggis. There.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Things you didn't know?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
What does grow in the sheeps lung? Or was it?
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Well, actually I don't know what they're doing with it.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
But apparently beyond beyond sheep's loan.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Presumably it won't be filled with fluid.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Impossible lung impossible. Lung. Here we go order for a.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Rebel Haggis hagus that's not Hagis. You won't believe it's
not Hagas. It's not the same without the chiefs long
as it I don't know if I don't come on
you aheader. Pretty sure, pretty sure, it's pretty memorable when
you have hegas. I think most people will remember if
they had it. I am Bill in hat. It was
(14:24):
the rere wrap, first one for the year. But loose,
you know, as we warm into it, things will probably
tightened up, he said.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Hopefully.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I'm just going to go and bully my staff and
I'll be back with you again tomorrow seven.
