Speaker 1 (00:09):
You're listening to a podcast from News Talk said be
follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Okayah, and welcome to the Rewrap for Friday, all the
best bits from the micasting breakfast on News Talks. He'd
be in a sillier package. I am ban Hant Today
we'llill mark the week because that is what we do
on Fridays. The Darleen Tanner investigation. We've got a very
detailed update for you on that, and we've also got
a fruit update as well, which needs to becoming a

(00:46):
regular feature of the show. And we'll finish up with
a bet I think I may have lost. But before
any of that, Australian immigration has gone badly wrong.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
Two hundred and eleven billion dollars. That's a lot of money.
It is what it will cost the Australians in lost
productivity and revenue as a result of the government panicing
over reaction to the mass arrival of people by immigration.
So such was the panic they started capping numbers. In
capping numbers, they appeared to have made a mess of it. Now,
if you follow Australian politics, they make a mess of
a lot of stuff. At the moment, but that's another

(01:20):
story and want to watch later on this year if
they go to the polls in the alban Easy government
turns out to be a one termer, but by the
capping of the numbers, they've turned immigration into a political game,
not a business one. You need immigration for skills and labor.
Of course, by not meeting labor demand u kur tail
your growth. It's an open question as to whether we
are doing the same thing. The floodgates were open here,
of course, way too late, and then because it was

(01:41):
way too late, the panic ensued and we let in
all sorts of people, some of whom we wanted and needed,
many of whom we didn't. Same reaction here upset. Now
there's a group, it seems, in all societies, Western societies anyway,
who were edgy about people arriving in their country. Politicians
read that and they react. The Haiy recruitment survey out
this week suggested skills gaps are still an issue if
you can believe it in this country. In fact, twenty

(02:01):
five percent of employers said it was worse now than
it had been, which is hard to fathom, but it
is nevertheless of reality and hands on deck is a
very direct link to growth, and I doubt anyone disputes
we need growth right now. Another question for us that
Australia doesn't appear to grapple with his demand. Do we
actually still want to come here? Or do people still
actually want to come here? They truly talented and the

(02:23):
skilled have a world of choice. Are we still on
their list anyway? In Australia, the price of paying politics
with all of this is they've worked out this week
two hundred and eleven billion dollars. So on one hand,
the PM keeps the punter happy who doesn't like immigration.
On the other, businesses are screaming for staff as they
watch the bill mout for things they can't do. This
is where leadership comes in, you see. Real leadership is

(02:45):
about making the right decision, not always the popular one.
Real leadership is about hanging tough when the screamers and
moaners are at their loudest. At two hundred and eleven billion,
old Elbow doesn't look like he's the goods.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Oh, it's so much fun to see Australia fail that stuff.
I feel like Mike's actually com manage to go up.
With quite a few examples of this week. I freeze
is not new to Euxtralian God, it's fun to watch.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
It's the rewrap.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
So yeah, while we're there, let's mark the week as
we reflect on the week, because it is Friday and
that is what we do.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
It time now to mark the week, little piece of
us and current affairs. It's more popular than a powerball split.
Six Ways are the Warriors? Eight A three on the
bounds looking for better this week Melbourne at Home came on.
This is e you vote this week? Six A reality
check for the green obsessives when the young people are
voting for the other guys. If that ain't a wake
up call, I don't know what is. Farmers in the

(03:35):
ets eight passion, common sense, oil and gas seven some
more good old fashioned common sense. Yes we want to
help the climb, but of course we do. But there's
no point of the lightstonet work petrol four see the
ComCom weighing and yet again sadly just alerts you to
the reality that market studies don't work. If they did,
you wouldn't hear from the ComCom Banks six This is

(03:57):
fertile ground and maybe the politicians go where the ComCom
won't or hasn't and as it stands in the pr battle,
I'm not sure the banks are currently on the right
side of this field. Days eight reminder what makes this
country tech? Are the Christier chain p show six six
better than nothing and a reminder of what makes this
country tick? Migration two see Ken's leaving. It's a right

(04:21):
of passage. I get that, but this number is more
than that. It's getting embarrassing. Ram raids six down eighty percent.
Not that you would know that, given the media's treatment
of the good news was nothing like the media's treatment
of the bad news. Tourism four. Someone high up needs
to wake up to this. Seventy three percent of where
we were five years ago is a straight up and
down failure, and we need to ask why one hundred

(04:43):
and twenty seven government wants to hear from us on
increasing the speed limit. I say, yeah, baby Kiwi fruit
eight record Hallbos six good haul, but more of it
going offshore because the quality is up and that's good
for exports rewards four. See these make me uneasy. You
can't find a bloke, there are no clues. Eighty thousand bucks.

(05:06):
People can't hit the phone fasted up. What's that tell
you people in their motivation. So that's the week copies
on the website. No one involved in the production of
this claim any accommodation allowance at all.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Now, if you were listening keenly to that, you may
have heard me. I was a little bit late with
a ding at one point there, and I would just
like it in my defense, So Mike gives me that
script and he highlights all the dings and the buzzes
and pink highlighter. It's always pink highlighted every time, and

(05:36):
he hadn't highlighted that particular ding, so I won't. I mean,
it was written on the scrap that it wasn't in pink,
and that's my defense and I'm sticking to it later on.
Actually in the script he didn't hear is that he
wrote ding when he meant buzz when he gave something
a four, and I anticipated that he got that wrong

(05:56):
and buzzed anyway, So there you go. It swings around.
They're a little bit too much detail on how the Yeah,
it's too much. Isn't that all right? Figured I did anything.
Let's move on. Can we get any detail at all?
The greens on the Darlene Tanner investigation. What is happening?
Why is it taking so long?

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Darlene Tanner, what hopeless disappointment? The greens are so we
ring them most days because you want some sort of
answer as to where we're at on this. And the
last time we had Chloe on the program, she said
it was up was at forty three, forty four, was
up to forty five, six, seven, eight, nineteen thousand dollars
so far. Anyway, we just wanted a couple of basic
questions because when we ring the go no, no, in
the fullness of time, it'll be very soon. Oh we

(06:35):
wish it was over, just like you and I thought,
what a lot of pup. Anyway, so we call back
earlier on this week specific questions. Here's what we sent them,
specific questions. What stage are we at with the investigation?
What's the expected time frame from here? That was sent
on Wednesday. By the way, what are the lawyer's expectations
for how long this will take? Are you getting daily
updates from her? That was my question, I said, Sammy

(06:56):
asked that question because I mean, you're employing this woman,
you're paying her hundreds of dollars an hour. At what
point surely you go Hey, Rach, where are we at here?
What's going on when you're delivering the report? How long
is this going on? For rage or words to that effect.
Didn't hear back yesterday, but yesterday morning, Thursday morning? At
one minute, I kid you not, at one minute past nine.

(07:19):
One minute past nine. Chloe's next to the fax machine
goes hit it now, hit now. No, The answer comes
in all that are the questions answered. No, The independently
lead investigation remains ongoing. We will have more to say
on the matter upon the investigation's conclusion. That's the That's
what they've said all along, week after week after week

(07:41):
after week after week. How transparent is that? Apart from
not remotely transparent? He would they argue, if you got
Chloe on now to spitball, do you reckon? Chloe would say, oh, yeah,
we're a transparent party. Of course you would. But they're not.
It's all our money. So in answer to your many,
many questions, wins this over. You've got your answer, and
the answer is inadequate. The independently lead investigation remains on going.

(08:05):
We will have more to say on the matter upon
the investigation conclusion. I revert to my original thought process
which was nothing good goes on for this long and
the longer it goes, the worse it's becoming.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
And if it is ever over, it'll be at one
minute past nine on a Friday.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Probably one minute past nine on a Friday is what
it will be. But don't think I never sleep on
the weekend. And when you dick me on a Friday,
I'm coming to get you Monday.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yeah. So although we haven't learned much about the Greens
and their investigation, what we have learned is to never
dick ask on a Friday.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Rewrap.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Now, I don't know about where you are, but the
weather has not been good over the last few hours
here in Auckland, and I do wonder if we've come
to the end of the good stuff and it's just
yucky stuff from here on in for the next few months.
And that means that we may have come to the
golden run of fresh produce that we've been having. But
Kate sent Mike out for a bit of a reconnoiter anyway, apparently, just.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Want to round out my fruit report for the week,
because I got myself immersed in the abbos and of
course Kiwi fruit record haul got some red ones the
other day. They are hard to get hold of, not
many and the crop, and they export most of them.
But I got some red ones the other day, along
with the greens and the yellows. Didn't get any greens.
I likened about the greens, got the gallows, got the
yellows and the reds. Anyway, then I got onto the abbos.
Now the AVOs not a I mean, it's good season,

(09:26):
not a sensational season, but the quality is good. And
because the quality is good, it's going offshore, so we
earn more money and you'll see less of them here
and you'll have to pay pay three ninety nine the
other day, and I got told off because I got
told to buy an av per per and I got
and I know that no no, well yes, now, well
look so anyway I went there and I was under
instruction to get the abo, and I thought, well, because

(09:47):
the first most nervous thing happens is that the right
habbo isn't any good. So I thought, I know, by four,
cover myself off. I thought that was smart purchasing. I thought,
by four one's bad. Three more to go.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
So that is this with the twenty dollars. A note
that you weren't able to spin down at birds because
they've closed down.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
But anyway, I got yelled at I did the.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Wrong because you didn't have enough money.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Fo it's true. Well I put it on plastic thing
and that they seem to accept that, and I just
wander off. They said do you want a receipt? And
I go, why would I want one of those? And
want a bit? Did you get the receipt? Now I didn't,
So it was all it didn't go well, all right, all.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Right, well is she really going to make you take
the avocado's bear?

Speaker 3 (10:19):
It just didn't go well anyway. Now I can't know
why I'm laughing.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
I've had exactly the same thing, even to me.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
So apples we come to apples. Apples once again, like avocados,
the season witches are raptily and then inspected expected exportable
crop is eleven percent down, so not good. But so
they got about eighteen point nine million trays as opposed
to last year's twenty one point two, but little bit
of lingering damage from Gabriel, which is interesting anyway, But
the taste profile, which is what it's all about. It

(10:49):
was the other thing I brought the ambrosias for the
seventeen slash eighteen year old going on fifty seven year
old who's increasingly a pain in the ass. Anyway, I
got four ambrosias and they turned out to be and
I picked those and I put them in the brown
paper bag. And the four ambrosures turned out to be
quote unquote a bit waxy and soft, and so they
got put in the bin as well. So what's worse

(11:10):
fruit that was not soft and waxy that got put
in the bin? Or avocados that are still available to you.
And the last complaint I got yesterday was I'm going
to have to own a lot of avocados to make
sure that they get used and we don't throw yet
more food out.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
I mean, you come on the program bleating about the
state of the economy, and there you go spending it's
not one hundreds of dollars on avocados. I can't help it,
Glen overpriced avocados.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
I'm under instruction.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
And then and the apples that you don't even need
up eating.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
No, but I'm under instruction. And so the pain profile
versus the expenditure profile the two different things, and the
pain outweighs the expenditure. Anyway, where was I with the apples.
The apples are fantastic in quality, so we're looking to
send them offshore and get some good money. So there
we go, fruit and bench report done.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
I've actually been enjoying the sweet tango and they seem
to be a bit cheaper too. In my hot apple
tip there I'll be said when all the nice avocados
get exported overseas. So you got to say, it is
very embarrassing when the missus sends you back to a
shop with a receipts you return something. I've had to

(12:17):
adding to me, it's a test, real test of your
devotion when it happens when you go, but you don't
go willingly d so re rap Actually speaking of the messrs,
we're off to Bailey tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
Or are we rapidly changing events? Rapidly changing events? So
the bit was, does he get asked about this is
Biden and Zelensky? Does he get asked about Hunter Biden?
And when does that question come? Glinn said in Italy
at G seven it's never going to happen. Ladies and gentlemen,
I present to you question number one. You're going through
something that so many American families go through the intersection

(12:55):
of addiction in the criminal justice system.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
But you're not like most families.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
Was your son able to get a fair trial?

Speaker 3 (13:03):
Do you leave the justice department operated independently of politics.

Speaker 4 (13:07):
I'm extremely proud of my son Hunter. He is overcome
an addiction. He is He's one of the greatest, most
decent man I know. And I am satisfied that I'm
not going to do anything shadowed by the jury decision.
I will do that and I will not pardon him.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
Asked an answer nicely handle us.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
I mean she didn't shout at it.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
I think that that had the they had the vibe
of a plant question to be perfectly honest. Anything on
the darling. But anyway, I'll let you know how my
holiday goes. And Linda's physic show.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
I mean, I'd been reading bad things about Bali bell,
so I'm.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Not so I would be worried about how excited Linda is. Actually,
Maybe give her a call and see if she picks up.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah. She She sent me a link to a guide
on ways to avoid getting Bali belly, and it was
a very detailed, long and involved document which really took
the shine off my excitement of going to Bali for
the first time. So anyway, wish me lack and hopefully

(14:10):
I'll be back in a couple of weeks time, none
the worse for where, in fact, maybe rested and recuperated,
who knows. I'll see you then.
