Speaker 2 (00:25):
Okay there and welcome to the Rewrap. For Thursday, all
the best bits from the My Costing Breakfast on News Dooks,
d B in a Sillier package, Eye and Glenheart Today
the Darling Tana Saga keeps sagaing. George Clooney has unleashed
on Biden. Why do we care? Auckland FC was in
(00:47):
need of a stadium. Looks like they've found one, but
it's not good enough for Andrew. And we'll unpack some
new Galaxy devices. Thanks to Samsung for any of that. Northport,
let's get it happening Northland.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Northland has always done it hard a province with under
investment and then the weather smacks it around the heads.
And now they've been dealt another blow. Did you hear that?
Northport applied to the Northlands Regional and fungar Rang District
Councils in late twenty two. They wanted a raft of
resource consents. They want to expand the port to increase
the port's freight storage and handling capacity and turn it
(01:19):
into a high density container terminal. But wouldn't you know it,
consent has not been given. Independent commissioners turned down the
port's application. Why because they wanted to reclaim eleven point
seven hectares too much, said the commissioners. The point is
owned by Marsden Maritime and Ports of Turtonger. They're going
to review the decision and they can appeal the decision
(01:40):
and they're also applying to be included on the fast
Track Approvals bill as well. But the Ports of Totroonger
Chief Executive Leonard Sampson says he's disappointed. You're disappointed, mate,
So am I You shoot a region while it's down.
All the talk we have about regaining our mojo and
taking ourselves and our products to the world nothing but
is that nothing but hot air eleven point seven hectare reclamation?
(02:02):
Is that enough to stop Northport being a great and
vital port and to help North End reduce eight who's
the some of the politicians from up north oh, I
know Winston Peters and Shane Jones.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah, of course. The cool thing about north and Sport
isn't like the main city's waterfront. That's lovely and that's
not where the porter is the port is out of
it and more accessible, and yeah, it's got a lot
going for it. Let's get more going for it. I'm
with Andrew Wrap all right, this Darling Tanna situation, it's
(02:40):
just going from super bad to absolutely ultra super bad,
doesn't it.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Have you noticed that in New Zealand when it rains
at pours, a pylon falls down due to incompetence, and
then Transpower hides behind the law instead of repaying customers
for their lost business. Where's your empathy? Kerry Raw gets
its fairy replacement program canned and promptly a ferry runs
a ground when it rains, it pours. And then there's
Darling Tana, so we know all about her. That's been
(03:07):
that's been a wonderful week to be on air, and
I know that Mike wished he was on air, but
just to have this unravel what has unraveled? As of
course Rachel Burt's report, of which the executive summary has
fallen into the media's hands. It has yet to be
made public, but it has been obtained. In it, Darling
(03:29):
Tanna acknowledges she confronted a worker and later she admits
she acted in appropriately, so the media has gone and
contacted this worker and he has confirmed the incident. Here
is the incident. Police were called. Police were called. Police
(03:49):
were called after an angry confrontation between Darling Tana Tana
and a migrant worker, in which Tana, and this is
out of the executive summary as well, admitted her mama
bear instincts got the better of her, the worker claimed,
(04:10):
and he's confirmed this to stuff. He claimed. Tanner approached
him at his new employer's premises, at his new employer's
premises in March twenty twenty three, threatening defamation action against
him if he persisted in an employment complaint against her
husband's bike business. Now the argument is that Darlene Danna,
(04:32):
I'm not involved with Hubby's business. I don't do anything
with Hobby's business. And here she is going for a
bit of a wonder to a former employer's new employer,
threatening him with legal action and defamation action, acting like
a mama bear and being lippy. Look, there's all sorts
of little tales about way Hecky Wharves and Devenport bike
(04:57):
stores and all sorts of things, and yeah, Hobby's there,
but also Darlene is there as well, and there is
an obvious question that exists here. I mean, how any
of you have not been involved, or know about, or
have helped out with your spouse's business and your workplace.
You've all done it. So for Darlene Taner to come
(05:18):
out and say I know nothing about my husband's business
has always stretched belief. By the way, the sooner the
Greens release this entire thing, the better they want Darlene gone.
This will be the final nail in the coffin. Tales
like this until Darlene realizes because of the shame, there's
(05:41):
no way she can sit there in the house with
everyone glaring at her, with everybody laughing on the TV
at her. There'd be no way she can keep on going,
even if she joined another party, because the facts are there,
and they're there, and we just would like to see
them in full. Please Chloe, please.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
So it's amazing me these people who just insist on
hanging around when nobody wants them to hang around anymore.
We talk about your Mama Bear at Instincts or whatever
it was, she said, why do you want to be
somewhere where nobody else wants you to be? So weird?
(06:23):
Speaking of being where people don't want you to be
poor old Joe Biden. I'm saying to feel really sorry
for him now, even as old mate George Clooney's turned
against him.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
By the way, big news in the United States is
that George Clerney big Megadona for the Democrats, and Joe
Biden has put up an op ed in The New
York Times. At the title of it is I love
Joe Biden, but we need a new nominee. He loves
Joe Biden as a senator, as a vice president, as
a president. I consider him a friend. There is one
battle he cannot win, the fight against time. He says.
(06:53):
All the scary stories that we're being told that about
what would happen if we change the nominees are not true.
So let's go in and do it. Poor old Joe
Biden facing a death by a thousand reckons.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I had to laugh this morning. I was watching at
the NATO summit. They'd set it up for some reason,
and I can only think that is because they wanted
to really put Biden to the sword. He was on
stage with Jen Stoltenberg, and they'd set it up so
each leader would come onto the stage, shake in Stoltenberg's hand,
shake Joe Biden's hand, and then stand in the middle
(07:25):
of the two of them for a photo opportunity. So
basically they were saying, Hey, Joe, can you remember this guy?
And do you know who this guy is? And you
know which country this guy is from? And yes, you've
met this guy before, do you remember? I mean, to
be fair, I thought he handled that pretty well, seemed
to joke around with a few of his mates. I
do feel like this is one area foreign affairs where
(07:48):
he's actually on reasonably solid ground. He's got the muscle
memory of nothing else there. He's been doing it for
a long time. But yeah, I guess it does come
to the point where enough could say he's got to go.
Then he's got to go.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Rewrap.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
It seems like it's been at least thirty seconds since
we complained about the Auckland Stadium situation.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
So orkand FC is coming to the A League. Yesterday
the worst secret in the world was confirmed. They're going
to play their games at Mount Smart Stadium. Sponsor there
is Go Media, the contractors for five years, the owner,
of course, the Auckland Council. The first time now play
at home is in October. Mount Smart is a football ground.
I know we think of it as a league ground,
it's a football ground. The Knights used to play there.
(08:31):
I remember Winton Rufer playing his last games of professional
football there back in the day. Ground was also pivotal
in our run to the World Cup back in nineteen
eighty two. I remember being a kid going along to
those sorts of things that was in the day. He's
going to had one grand stand and the rest of
the ground was a was the grass slopes of an
extinct volcano. I remember thirty thousand people gathering and slipping
(08:52):
their way down the grass slopes of a volcano watching
us go all the way to Spain. It was great.
So welcome orkand FC. Now their billionaire owner of the team,
Bill Foley, who is a sports professional, has always talked
about building his own boutique stadium in downtown orc and
I say more power to him. I know he's being
connected with some of the current proposals, but just do it.
(09:14):
Organ stadium woes have always been exacerbated by their ownership
by the council. Council owned stadiums are okay, maybe for
big regional stadiums or national stadiums or for an event
like a Commonwealth Games or an Olympic Games, but often
they then get transferred to private hands. Overseas, most stadiums
are owned and operated by private operators, and most of
those operators are the team owners of the team that
(09:37):
plays there that concentrates their commercial minds. Private stadiums have
not happened in New Zealand. One exception was turning as
Baypark Speedway, which is a twenty thousand seater built in
two thousand and one by Bob Clarkson, who became an
mp He was a speedway nut. He built the stadium
for fifteen million dollars a twenty thousand seater. It's got
(10:00):
the speedway track of the rugby field in the middle
of it as well. He then sold it to the
council back in two thousand and seven. But build a
Bob built a stadium. It's been used for MPC and
Super games of rugby that may never have come to
the Bay if Bob hadn't built his arena. Brian Adams
played a concert there every summer. It hosts Bay Dreams.
It is an asset to the place Bob built it.
(10:21):
If Bob couldn't build it. So can the other Bob,
Bob Bowley, and I hope he does because in this
whole thing, one of my great regrets is that Rugby
League sold Carlile Park back in the day. We could
have had a downtown stadium and nobody valued it. Councilors
are always being forced to build the stadiums. Meanwhile we
have the aucand Council kicking out the Speedway and Pontoby
(10:43):
Rugby Club from Western Springs Stadium and asking if anyone
wants to take over management of the place. And B. G.
Williams is complaining about it, and the Speedways complaining about it.
Of course they are. But you know the challenge there
is to take over the place. I know you don't
have the money, find someone who does. Bob built a stadium.
Maybe private operators can too. Give Bob a call. He's
(11:04):
still alive. He's living in Toylaninger, he's eighty five and
he still has his left test And if you know,
you know, if you can remember the days of build
a Bob in Parliament.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
All right, they've got a bit random atly in there,
but yeah, stadiums in Auckland, and to be honest, anything
in Auckland, except I will say one thing in Auckland's defense,
and you won't hear me say things in Auckland's defense
very often. But man, they get onto it when you
complain about a broken street light. And it always amazes
(11:41):
me that people don't complain about the street lights. And
I know that they don't because I've been walking past
the same broken street light. It's not even on my street,
but at somewhere where I often walk the dog and
is a very dark corner when that street light's not working.
And for quite a few months now, every time I
walk past there in the dark, I think that's a
I should really complain about that. Surely somebody else who
(12:03):
go's closer to the street light, you know, has complained
about it. But anyway, the other night I passed it again.
It was dark again, and I thought, as somebody who's
fallen over on the footpath in the dark and broken
his shoulder. I thought, well, we don't want that sort
of been heppling again. So I went went onto the
council website and I loved the broken street light and
see exactly where it was. Blah blah blah, And I
(12:23):
got an email the next day saying they were working
on it, and last night went for a walk and
sure enough the light was working into the fight with
them within twenty four hours. I mean, I know it's
not a whole stadium, but it's a start.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
The re wrap.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Right. Are you in the market for a new phone,
or new earbags or a new watch? Has Samsung got
some shiny new toys for you to play with?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Trending now between Chemist were House the home of big
brand Fightamens.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
New phones, Same Sung a Galaxy unpecked event. It was
live in Paris a few hours ago. Would we get
two new phones? They're foldable, new Swmart watches and earbuds
And this is twenty twenty four. Did we get ai?
You better believe it today?
Speaker 4 (13:02):
I am excited to announce we're building the Galaxy AI
ecosystem in away only some some can cross device intelligence
that helps people seamlessly achieve their words across multiple devices
wherever they are, whenever they want.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Okay, this is called Galaxy AI. It's pretty clever, especially
when you're editing photos and when it comes to translation,
which is great for travel. The new earbuds are called
the Galaxy Buds three and the Galaxy Buds three Pro
and they can literally translate conversations in real time. Wow,
sixteen different languages with more to come. What did dougas
(13:46):
Adams doing and the Hiker's Guides They did the Babelfish.
You can stuck a fish in your ear now and
it would translate for you. The Babelfish is in fact
now the Galaxy Buds three and the Galaxy Buds three Pro.
Two watches, the Galaxy Watch seven and the new super
tough Galaxy Watch Ultra, which it looks a bit unusual.
It has a round face on a square body. It
can take a lot of punishment, goes very deep underwater
(14:07):
and very high up up Mount Everest if you can
handle the cubes. And then there are phones, the Galaxy
z Flipicks, which is the clamshell one and the six. Okay,
the Galaxy z Flippick Flip six. There we go. It's
the X on the end of the six that is
the clamshell one. Then there's the Galaxy z Folds six,
(14:28):
the one that looks like a book. Oh, we've got
big camera up grades for both of these, and as
you would expect, they're thinner and more powerful than ever
how much. The Galaxy Z Flip six starts at twenty
ninety nine dollars. Top of the range, Z is three
seven nine nine.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Yeah. Yeah, Andrew had trouble with the Z fold part
of the equation there, didn't he. They call them Z
folds most places, but I refuse Z will always be
Z to me. Yeah, you've got four grand in your
pocket for a new phone. It's not four ground nearly
four grand on the way to four grand. Nope, nope, OK,
(15:08):
I'm big, lean heart. And that was the Rerap and
we'll be back with another one tomorrow. It'll be Friday.
