Speaker 1 (00:09):
You're listening to a podcast from news Talk, saidb follow
this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Rewrap there and welcome to the Rewrap for Wednesday. All
the best but's from the mic casting breakfast on news Talks,
He'd beat and a sillier package. I am Glenheart today.
That netball thing with Dame Noling all sorted. Let's move on,
just coach. The Policing Act poses some prickly privacy questions.
(00:48):
We've got some more eed myths to bust and the
press band at the Pentagon might lead to a lack
of coverage really, But before any of that, all this
stuff that's been going on in Parliament recently, they really
need to tidy out there act, don't they.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Mike I said this day one that jury is an
extremely lazy speak the number of times he should have
leaped to his feet being the gavel and given so
many MP's from any side of the house a good serve.
They're now reduced to a bunch of unruly kids. Erica
Stamford should be the speaker, Ericas Stamford can't do everything.
You got to stop this. Every time you find a
half decent politician. You can't make them the prime minister.
You can't make them the speaker. I'll tell you what,
(01:28):
and I'm going to raise it with Mark and Jenney.
I was watching the House yesterday as I always do.
It was clashing unfortunately with the Commanders and the bears.
But anyway, be that as it may. And also, but
here's the point, Luxon needs some worker on question time.
If you watch question time, let me know. And the
best example came directly afterwards with Bishop So Luxon doesn't
look confident in question time. Now, I know this is
(01:49):
wonkishon in the weeds because most people don't watch Parliament,
but here's one I know about the Parliament. If you've
got somebody who does question time, well, it emboldens the team.
The team go, that guy's good, he's our man. And
Luxon doesn't seem to understand question time or use question time. Well,
look remotely confident in question time. He doesn't look prime ministerial.
(02:12):
There used to be this question they go to ask
the Prime Minister stand behind all his acts and deeds
or words and whatever the question is. And you leap
to your feet and you go, yes, I do. And
here's the best example. Today doesn't do that anymore. He
just goes yes and then sits back down again. But
you look at Bishop yesterday. Bishop owns it. Bishop had
charts yesterday, he had numbers and he had facts, and
(02:33):
he stuck it right up the opposition, and you thought,
that's the guy who knows the rules. That's the guy
is comfortable in the house. That's a good performer, and
that's what they need.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
More of charts and numbers. Ah.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
You see, people used to say that about lux and
didn't they They say, ah, he could do a speech
without He talked for an hour and a half with
no notes. But it seems like he no notes is good,
But so is having charts and numbers. A lot of
people talking about Bife is the future leader of the party.
I haven't seen it, but I've got things to do
(03:07):
it by afternoons watch parliament like be asleep, so rewrap.
I think most of us are staying to think we've
got better things to do with our time than worry
about netball.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Should we just leave them to it and forget that
they it ever existed?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Well, most stories need a hero, and Gail Parata might
fit the role. In this particular Netball mess, or is
it now a scandal? Gail Parat has resigned as a
national Netball selector, and in doing so, he has gone
out guns blazing, and because of that has given the
rest of us a decent insight into what a shambles
the gnolling Taro's story really is. This thing is now
weeks old, and when we say weeks old, weeks since
she got stood down. The story, the incidents, the genesis
(03:45):
goes back, apparently to a camp in summer. Taru's treatment,
writes Parata on social media, sends a chilling message to
every coach in the country. The coaching profession's voice has
been sidelined. Even the most successful world class coaches are
now dispensable. The very essence of coaching relationships, trust and
lived experience no longer seems to hold weight with those
making decisions. She's on a roll at this point. God
(04:07):
bless her who she asks would step into a role
now knowing that one complaint, one misinterpretation, or one moment
taken out of context could end your career. Now, the
value of this, quite apart from the fact that it's
the first time, as far as I know, that we've
heard from a so called third party. Is that the
so called third party seems to infer what we all
suspect this thing got blown out of all proportion. This thing,
(04:30):
whatever it is, seems to involve some sort of upset, moaning, whining,
fragile ego related over reaction to an event at camp.
In other words, some players got a bit huffy over
Nolean's approach. So the big question for net ball in
New Zealand is just how many casualties do you want?
You've got star players publicly calling you out and wanting
their coach back. You've got lawyers in six minute blocks
(04:50):
charging god knows what, and now a selector who clearly
feels someone has to break the silence and flush a
few truths out. The damage is to Nolean, to the sport,
to the selection panel, and to coaches generally, because the
questions raised by a parata are all excellent and, like
all the other questions in this stinking mess, requires some answers.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
It's the weirdest thing, isn't it. It's like they spent
so much time trying to figure out how to spin
all this that they didn't notice how it was spending
hopelessly out of control like a gravity style satellite and
was about to burn up on re entry, so weird
a rewrap.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
The great thing about having somebody like Mike Asking watching
pouring things like Parliament is that he notices when there
have been changes made to the Policing Act when perhaps
nobody else has.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
So we're amending the Policing Act. Did you realize that
police will be able to once again take photos office?
There has been an issue, apparently some confusion as to
where and when they could do it, so that by
the time they got it to court it became problematic.
The warning then came, of course from the privacy freaks,
as it always does, that we could become a police
state now. Personally, coppers can take as many photos or
(06:02):
videos of me they want because I'm not doing anything
with videoing, and if i can make the police's job easier,
I'm all for it. So it's been fascinating watching the
National Guard in places like Chicago and Los Angeles. It is,
of course a political stunt by a megalomaniac, but like
a lot of what Trump does, it actually starts with
a semi sensible idea. Major cities all over the world
have got crime problems. New Zealand's no different. Downtown Auckland
(06:24):
is not a place I go at night because it's ugly.
I'd argue Wellington as too, possibly christ Dutch as well. No,
it's not Chicago or Portland, but it's still not safe.
If I saw cops or the military at the top
of Queen Street or Courtney Place, guess what I'd feel
better about it. It's been extraordinary to watch the mayors
and governors of states troubled by drugs and gangs and
ramp and crime trying to defend their area as though
(06:45):
everyone was happy and no one was afraid of anything.
The federal intrusion is trump no pun intended the simple
truth that a lot of major centers are indeed no
go areas. Authority and the presence and surveillance of authority works.
It makes places safe, It allows freedom of movement if
the police want to photograph me, and do remember the
downtown area of any major center these days as festooned
(07:06):
with CCTV anyway, But a photo graphically allows us to
move about the place more easily. What an earth is
wrong with that?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah, I'm no fan of the idea of a police state,
that's for sure, But I also I kind of agree
with Mike about well only to the point that I
think privacy died a long time ago. To be currently honest,
if you think that you've got anything or can do
anything without anybody else anywhere else, usually in Kazakhstan or
(07:37):
Russia or China, finding out what exactly it is that
you've been up to, you're dreaming.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Rewrap.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Now it's actually been a little while. It's been a
few days since we talked about.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
How terribly life is for ev manufacturers at the moment.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
So let's do it a couple of things.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
In the car industry in America, it's K shaped at
the moment. The economy is K shaped for consumers, so
some up, some down. So it's the two step. The
average price of a car last month's top fifty four
dollars on average, the average price of a new car
top fifty thousand dollars for the first time ever. But
at the same time, defaults and repossessions have increased as
of late. So people have got money, you're doing fine,
(08:18):
and they're out with alacrity. People haven't got money are sinking,
And this gives you an insight, yet another insight into
the dilemma that is ebs GM have announced overnight general motors,
so it is just one company in one quarter, and
they will take in the third quarter a one point
six billion dollar hit out of its all electric vehicle
(08:39):
plan not playing out as anticipated. So that's all the production,
it's the workers, it's the things that never happened, it's
the cars they never sold. So one company, one quarter,
one point six billion dollar hit.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Talk about driving into an economic coldsat I don't know
how many point turns you have to do to try
and extract yourself from that.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
The re wrap, right, we're going to finish up here
with Pete Higsseth hot off the back of.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Telling everybody they've got to meet the mail standard in
the military, which obviously doesn't apply it to as ice
there's fat bearded power trippers. But anyway, he's now having
a real crackdown on what the press can and can't
report on question.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
So heck Seth and the Pentagon they've decided they're going
to make the media sign up to this idea that
they can't obtain or use unauthorized material, even if it's
to classify it. Now, if you don't sign up to that,
the passes deadlines tomorrow. Passes will be taken off you
tomorrow if you haven't signed up so far, ABC, CBSC
and n NBC, Fox, even Newsmax, Reuter's Ap, The New
(09:54):
York Times, Washington Post, The Atlantic, NPR, National Public Radio
have refused to sign. If no one signs, do they
back down or is that just what they're wanting? And
therefore no one will ever cover the Pentagon again?
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Well, ideal situation.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
They will then apply this same doctrine to the White
House and we'll never hear of anything that Trump if
it does ever again.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
As well.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I keep trying to tell people if you just ignore them,
he'll probably go away. I am a Glen Hat. I'm
going to go away now, whether you've ignored me or not.
And I'll be back again tomorrow.
