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 (00:24):
Rewrap.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Okay there and welcome to the rewrap for Wednesday. All
the best, but it's from the my casking breakfast on
news Talks. He'd be and a sillier package. I'm glen
Heart today. What is a special economic zone? And how
special do you have to be to be in one?
Tory FUNO is giving no interviews please, well not to
us anyway. TIMU is at the downfall of society as
(00:50):
we know it and who loves a metal road and
who doesn't before.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Any of that? Is the power going to be on
this winter? Or no? No? Okay? So same again then.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
From the here we Go Again file, we're being lined
up once more for another winter of shonky power supply
deal has been done again with t Y. They announced
yesterday to cut production. Ohe the irony in a country
that's supposed to be focused on growth, growth, growth, and
mercury is the bearer of the glad tidings that the
power price is heading north by an average of ten percent.
(01:21):
Why because we don't make enough power? We are hopelessly
reliant on rain. We stopped looking for royal and gas.
We didn't get enough windmills and solar panels up, so
we're short short, last year short the year before. Spot
price currently about two hundred bucks, not the eight hundred
it was for a time last year, but well north
of what it should be. Yet again, the years started dry,
but in a reassuring sign of expertise and meteorological minutia,
(01:43):
the power company said there's still plenty of time for
it to rain. So that's okay. Then, isn't it a
cost plus accounting? Obviously not confined to councils. Power companies
do it as well. We think about it. We are
paying for the windmills, whether we want them or not.
See a lot of the renewable investment is not about
it solving the problem, because it doesn't automatically, not in
a sensible, cost effective way. What a lot of it
(02:04):
is about is wokeness being seen to be part of
the Paris crowd. The same way the Bears and Z
likes to haunt petrol stations. Power companies like to gouge
us for their green credentials. Like banks. There's an argument
we're not well served by these big Gen retailers or
Gen Taylors, who, in simple terms, are not doing their job.
What is their job, Mike, I hear you ask, well power?
(02:25):
Is there enough power?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Mike? No?
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Was there last year?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
No?
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Is it good enough in twenty twenty five in the
country economically on its knees, looking for growth, growth? Growth?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
No.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I mean even on Groundhog Day the lights still worked,
even though it's the same day all over again.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Holy Moly, rewrap.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Set up some kind of special economic zone where the
power is on all the time.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
What do you mean you don't know what a special
economic zone is.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Shane Jones, who I'm generally a fan of, one of
the big wastes of time that got acquiesced to in
the coalition deal was that they were going to wander
off to Marsden and this is this goes back to
the Prime Minister and about yesterday. But he goes back
to the Prime Minister who was on Kerry Show last
week and I was driving home and I heard him say,
and that's why we're looking at rebuilding Marsden Point and
(03:17):
getting us refinery And I thought, is that a thought bubble?
A you mate? Literally making this up on the spot because,
of course, obviously as part of the Coalition deal, New
Zealand First were allowed to wander off to Marsden Point
to have a look at the implications of reopening Marsden
as a refinery. It was never going to happen. It
was going to be fascical, if not fencible, if not both.
(03:38):
And so the report came out yesterday. It's about seven
billion dollars. So guess what we're not doing it. I
could have written that report. Whether I'd come up with
seven six' five, eighteen it doesn't. Matter it was always
going to be worth more than we've actually, got so
it was so it was a. Folly, now my suggestion
would be that when he said that To kerry last,
(03:58):
week he knew that. Report therefore he knew the. Number
therefore he knew what was going to. Happen WHEN i
had him on the program yesterday after we got through
The bailey business were, then if you, REMEMBER i asked
him About marsden and whether that was a thought bubble or.
Not he went red in the. FACE i don't know
if you can see it on the, video but go
look at the, video and he went red in the,
(04:19):
face AND i, thought you know. SOMETHING i didn't have
time to pursue it even, further BUT i thought something's
up here. Anyway so sure, enough Yesterday shane releases the
document that says it's seven billion. Dollars it ain't. Happening
so we're going to have these weird economic. Zones and
the problem with weird economic zones is you Go northan's.
Special it's. Different so you can have this rule in
that law there and you can do some special. Business
(04:40):
now what happens? Next, OH i don't. Know how About
nelson goes, well where we do a lot of, Seafood
why can't we be a special economic? Zone and Then
canterbury will, go, well hold, on what about the dairy
industry in this part of why are we especially economic?
Zone before you know, it the whole country is an economic,
zone so what the hell's going?
Speaker 3 (04:58):
On, well it's kind of like top, town isn't. It
we'll find out who is the most special region and you?
Zoing AND i mean it's a bit of a pointless
exist because we know already that it's wipe out over.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
It so, YEAH i guess that case is open and.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Sharp, well in The wellington, area the mayor Is Tory.
FANO i feel like it's the mayor's job to sort
of be the mouthpiece for the town a mayor of
so they've got to go to all the, meetings turn
out to all the.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Press, conferences and do all the. Interviews well apparently.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Not what is it about The left day that they
can't stand Scrutiny tory farnw if you've missed, it as
pulled out of a regular slot with Our wellington morning
host ON zb because it's not the direction she wants
to go this? Year just what direction is that she
wants to? Go, well don't you hate it when they
make that complete crap? Up Tory farner is inexplicably running
again for reelection this. YEAR i suppose it's possible history
(05:57):
might repeat itself and a crowded field splits the, vote
so you in fact end up needing comparatively little support to.
Win three of the top four candidates last time got
forty two thousand, votes which let her slip through with thirty.
Four little did they, know of, course what they were voting.
For wellington has become the posted child these past three
years for, dysfunction the fact they got a commissioner to
write reports tells you all you need to. KNOW a
(06:19):
good mayor should kill to be on the city's biggest
radio station to be able to keep punters up to
speed on developments and spruit the achievements of the. Council
in a shrinking, media the chance at a mass audience
is not to be sneezed. At and yet the sadness
of all of this is, what in reality has, happened
is that your local, politician especially one that's not up to,
much can seek shelter and hide more easily from the
(06:39):
scrutiny because there's less of. It local body politics isn't
covered the way it used to, be and what coverage
there is is too often done by a junior who
doesn't have the interest or the institutional knowledge to do
the proper. Probing in a broader, sense it has also
played its role in having more and more of us
become complacent when it comes to participation in the democratic.
Process every three, YEARS i pray there's a better turn
(06:59):
out this, year But i'm not holding my. Breath the
trick for Zeb, wellington of, course is to have the
major opponents given plenty of air. Time so far now
works out what an idiotic descent as she's made failing
to want to be held to, account never does your.
Reputation any Good tory won't be the First lefty to
learn that.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
List, YEAH i think there's a reason why they call
it public office is because it's you, know, public.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
It's not private.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Office let's not keep it to yourself office.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Anyway it's the, rewrap.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Right have you ever bought anything online for? Cheap because,
well there's a lot of, reasons aren't, There but in.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Doing, it did you ever feel slightly guilty doing?
Speaker 4 (07:47):
It economic databut this morning From New zealand posts e commerce.
Data we're shopping a little bit more, online but we're
shopping disproportionately at THE tmu and shines. Orchines five percent
increase in spending IN q, four but a twenty three
percent increase in offshore. Retailers so once again we're getting
down to the business domestic retailers missing out and they're, saying,
(08:10):
well you should look. Domestically i'm a big fan of
domestic spending as opposed to international spending in. General AND
i know what you're going to, say but it's much cheaper.
ONLINE i know what's On timuin shine or, sheen and it's.
Crap it's straight up and, down badly, made throw it
in the burn after a short period of. Time. Crap
(08:30):
but we seem to be in this. Mentality average, spend
by the, way ninety five, dollars which is down four.
Dollars but we seem to be in this mindset that
cheaper is, everything doesn't matter how long it, lasts doesn't
matter whether it was made by a slave or a
twelve year old or a three year old In. China
as long as it's, cheap it's good enough for. Us
And i'm not sure that's a great.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
ACT i would counter that arguments by saying that sometimes
when you buy something that's expensive in a local, shop
it's also been made by slave labor or unethically or,
whatever and.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
You just don't. Know maybe it's better to be doing
it out in the.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Open ALL i know is That i'm trying to defend
it BECAUSE i bought a computer mouse the other. Day
for some, reason my computer mouse died AND i wanted
one like, it and then discovered that it was going
to cost me one hundred and fifty.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Dollars which seemed like a lot for a computer, mouse.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
And THEN i was able to find one that looked
a bit like, it that was in my favorite color
and actually worked better and was only thirty five.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Dollars SO i bought.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
That not ON, timu BUT i think it did come
from overseas.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
The re.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Wrap All i'm saying is that if somebody In New
zealand wants to make a computer mouse in my color
that's not one hundred and forty dollars that does all
of THINGS i wanted, TO i probably would have bought.
IT i couldn't find one of. Those now where Does
mike live that he the tassil runs. OUT i was
(10:02):
looking forward to going and visiting, him but not if
my car is going to get all.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Dirty there's a small quandary in my life at the,
moment not a hu huge, quandary just a small. One
but the last stretch of metal road in the state
highway network is currently being tar. Sealed it's twelve kilometers Of.
Tarsal this is forty Three State highway forty Three East.
Taranaki this is The Forgotten World. Highway it connects To
amaranui To stratford and the very last piece of the
(10:27):
highway network is being tar, sealed WHICH i suppose is,
good because you, know most people don't like. Tarsia BUT
i live on a road which is not tar. Sealed
and THEN i leave my little road AND i go
on to another road which is not tar sealed, either
but it's about to be and there is apparently we've
only been there six, years but before that there's been
(10:47):
a thing for, many many years in which submissions have
been made to the council that this particular road should
be tar, sealed because it's. Ridiculous there are far too
many cars on the road these, days and you can't have.
It AND i find myself in a weird. Way SO
i should be celebrating. PROGRESS i should be, going, oh thank,
goodness the shingles going and the tar SIL's. Coming and
Yet i'm sad because there's something about a shingle road
(11:10):
that it indicates you are in the, country isn't. There
so we turn off the main highway onto the shingle,
road and you, think, Yep i've. ARRIVED i am. Arriving
and THEN i go down that shingle road for a
couple of ka's and THEN i turn off into our little,
road which is also. SHINGLE i go up my drive
which is equally, Shingle and THEN i had the problem
is if they shingle the road that goes to my,
place if they tarsal rather the road that goes to my,
(11:32):
place DO i then tar seal my? Driveway because of,
course one of the downsides of shingle, is of course
your car gets, filthy and who wants a filthy Ca
and next thing you, know you're buying a foam cannon
to clean your car a. Lot so DO i then
seal my? Driveway but in sealing my, DRIVEWAY i essentially
am part of the, city And i'm no longer part
(11:54):
of the. Country because part of the country is the
dust that rises on a, long hot summer as you
power down the shingle road and see the dust blooming
up in the background behind your car and dropping down
all over, it making it a dusty country. Vehicle and
there's something reassuring and Very New zealand about a dusty country,
vehicle don't You.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
That sounds about like governments subsidizing mills to stay. Open
you want the shingle roads to stay so you can
stay and work as a car. Washer is that what's
going on? Here?
Speaker 4 (12:24):
No you missed the point completely. THERE i was just
down memory, lane and my memory lane Isn't tassi de.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Mes, ad manager made me go down her own personal
memory lane one, time and she used to live in
a place Called, otegiwai which is literally in the middle
of nowhere in the King. Country and not only was
the metal road, steep it also had a camber to. It,
(12:53):
yeah so it was a vertical angle and then a
sideways angle as.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Well AND i thought that my car was going to
fall off the.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
World so if they're eliminating that kind of, experience that
can only be a good. THING i am going thank
you for experiencing this for another, day and let's experience
it again.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Tomorrow i'll see you.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Again for more From News talk ST, b listen live

follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Rewrap.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Okay there and welcome to the rewrap for Wednesday. All
the best, but it's from the my casking breakfast on
news Talks. He'd be and a sillier package. I'm glen
Heart today. What is a special economic zone? And how
special do you have to be to be in one?
Tory FUNO is giving no interviews please, well not to
us anyway. TIMU is at the downfall of society as
(00:50):
we know it and who loves a metal road and
who doesn't before.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Any of that? Is the power going to be on
this winter? Or no? No? Okay? So same again then.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
From the here we Go Again file, we're being lined
up once more for another winter of shonky power supply
deal has been done again with t Y. They announced
yesterday to cut production. Ohe the irony in a country
that's supposed to be focused on growth, growth, growth, and

cost plus accounting? Obviously not confined to councils. Power companies
do it as well. We think about it. We are
paying for the windmills, whether we want them or not.
See a lot of the renewable investment is not about
it solving the problem, because it doesn't automatically, not in
a sensible, cost effective way. What a lot of it
(02:04):
is about is wokeness being seen to be part of
the Paris crowd. The same way the Bears and Z
likes to haunt petrol stations. Power companies like to gouge
us for their green credentials. Like banks. There's an argument
we're not well served by these big Gen retailers or
Gen Taylors, who, in simple terms, are not doing their job.
What is their job, Mike, I hear you ask, well power?
(02:25):
Is there enough power?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Mike? No?
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Was there last year?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
No?
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Is it good enough in twenty twenty five in the
country economically on its knees, looking for growth, growth? Growth?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
No.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I mean even on Groundhog Day the lights still worked,
even though it's the same day all over again.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Holy Moly, rewrap.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Set up some kind of special economic zone where the
power is on all the time.
Speaker 2 (02:53):

good because you, know most people don't like. Tarsia BUT
i live on a road which is not tar. Sealed
and THEN i leave my little road AND i go
on to another road which is not tar sealed, either
but it's about to be and there is apparently we've
only been there six, years but before that there's been
(10:47):
a thing for, many many years in which submissions have
been made to the council that this particular road should
be tar, sealed because it's. Ridiculous there are far too
many cars on the road these, days and you can't have.
It AND i find myself in a weird. Way SO
i should be celebrating. PROGRESS i should be, going, oh thank,
goodness the shingles going and the tar SIL's. Coming and
Yet i'm sad because there's something about a shingle road
(11:10):
that it indicates you are in the, country isn't. There
so we turn off the main highway onto the shingle,
road and you, think, Yep i've. ARRIVED i am. Arriving
and THEN i go down that shingle road for a
couple of ka's and THEN i turn off into our little,
road which is also. SHINGLE i go up my drive
which is equally, Shingle and THEN i had the problem
is if they shingle the road that goes to my,
place if they tarsal rather the road that goes to my,
(11:32):
place DO i then tar seal my? Driveway because of,
course one of the downsides of shingle, is of course
your car gets, filthy and who wants a filthy Ca
and next thing you, know you're buying a foam cannon
to clean your car a. Lot so DO i then
seal my? Driveway but in sealing my, DRIVEWAY i essentially
am part of the, city And i'm no longer part
(11:54):
of the. Country because part of the country is the
dust that rises on a, long hot summer as you
power down the shingle road and see the dust blooming
up in the background behind your car and dropping down
all over, it making it a dusty country. Vehicle and
there's something reassuring and Very New zealand about a dusty country,
vehicle don't You.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
That sounds about like governments subsidizing mills to stay. Open
you want the shingle roads to stay so you can
stay and work as a car. Washer is that what's
going on? Here?
Speaker 4 (12:24):
No you missed the point completely. THERE i was just
down memory, lane and my memory lane Isn't tassi de.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Mes, ad manager made me go down her own personal
memory lane one, time and she used to live in
a place Called, otegiwai which is literally in the middle
of nowhere in the King. Country and not only was
the metal road, steep it also had a camber to. It,
(12:53):
yeah so it was a vertical angle and then a
sideways angle as.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Well AND i thought that my car was going to
fall off the.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
World so if they're eliminating that kind of, experience that
can only be a good. THING i am going thank
you for experiencing this for another, day and let's experience
it again.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Tomorrow i'll see you.
