iHeartRadio rewrap O.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Good there and welcome to the rewrap for Wednesday. All
the best, but it's from the my housing groupist on
NEWSTALKSP and A silly A package. I am being hardened today?
Are Daily Darner's back at work? Question Mark? The COVID inquiry? No, no, no, no,
not about that anymore. Are we Paris Olympics? They haven't started,
but they're already over as far as the hospitals concerned.
(00:49):
And yeah, building a road to find it might actually
be happening, question Mark. But first up, Yes, Kamala Harris
first real stump speech as the presumptive nominee today.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Listen, are you ready to get to work?
Speaker 1 (01:07):
So we believe in freedom? Do we believe in opportunity?
Do we believe in the promise of America? And are
we ready to fight for it?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
And when we fight, we win?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
God bless him God.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Where did she start? Was there fifteen minutes? Max? I
doubt it was fifteen minutes? Her trick, she's on, she's off,
she's hot, and she's very Obama risk. So as The
text says Karmela's gained the descinder effect. There could be
something in that.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Mm so far, so good lish. She's got a bit
of energy and yeah, they had a bit of an
interview with her husband afterwards. They call him the second
gentleman because he's the vice president's husband. He is not
the first gentleman. It's a second gentleman. That's a job
I reckon I could handle. Second gentleman doesn't sound like
(02:05):
there's a lot of responsibility there.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
It's the rewrap.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Speaking of responsibilities, what are Darlene Tana's now exactly there?
But now that she's vack here to do the hard marchhi.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
This has been the battle, of course, of the psychobabbyl
and the cliches. Parliament returned yesterday. As I mentioned, Darling
Tana political disgrace, reprobate. She was back to do the
marhi whatever that means. She's not in a party, she
doesn't have an electorate. Who she doing the marhi for?
Chloe Swarbrick announced she was incredibly frustrated, not just frustrated,
(02:35):
but incredibly frustrated. So what she going to do? My
suspicion is nothing. I hope I'm wrong. I wish I
was wrong. I wish these people were better, a better
selection of operators than they are. The ball, though, is
in the Greens court. They are the adults, the employers,
if you will. They are the ones who selected Tana.
They are the ones who made a mistake. They are
the ones who called for the report. They are the
ones who found her guilty of at the very least
(02:57):
being fraudulent and what she said she was and what
the report outlined she really was. So it is their
job to fix. For no other reason than I believe
Chloe when she says she wants to take the Greens
to a new you are either naive to beat the
band all genuine when you tell the world when you
arrive as a new leader that you believe you can
take the Greens and outshine the Labor Party for the
(03:17):
vote on the left. If you mean it, you've got
to act like it. To this point, she hasn't. She
isn't telling us how frustrated you are. Is childlike, it's petulant,
it's baby politics. It's word sellans. As I suggested last week,
my suspicion is Tann is wanting us to get bored
and move on. That way, she can vanish into the
library for a couple of years, collecting your wage for
doing nothing, and Chloe hopes we get bored as well,
(03:39):
because accountability doesn't appear to be a strong suit so far,
my suspicion is sadly proving to be fairly accurate. None
of this serves us well. Whether you've ever voted for
the Greens or not, My expectation is that the country
is led by professionals, professionals driven by high standards, in
this case, less professional, more fast.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yeah, this is a ridiculous situation and a phrase I've
heard a lot in recent months is we need some
adults in the room to put a stop to it
all a rerap. All right, now, what else was my
exercise about today? Oh no, there's COVID inquiries going on
both here and in the UK.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Is well, tell you what it's worth following the UK
and their inquiring into COVID. Why would that be Because
their story, as it turns out, not far removed from ours.
But the critical difference is their inquiry is a proper
one and ours to this point has not been. It's
been a jack upset up by the incompetencey around the
pandemic and then rig the inquiry to make sure the
reality was never fully revealed or presented to us. Now,
(04:38):
in the first of what will be at least nine reports,
Baroness Hallett, who is leading the UK division, tells it
like it is. One of the most critical observation in
her initial two hundred and seventeen page report contains the
revelation that the response was captured by scientist groupthink and
there being too little challenge from ministers. I remind you
(04:59):
we speak of the UK here, but groupthink too little challenge.
Could it so easily have been a reporting to us?
Yes it could. The fear I have there and here
is reports get dealt to you. Like most reports, they
get released then forgotten. My hope is given, as we
sit here in the middle of twenty twenty four, still
nowhere near close to being out the other side of
the very specific and direct destruction COVID caused, is we
(05:19):
remain alert to lessons and have them implemented so the
same mistakes never happen again. Act as part of the
new government, have initiated a second inquiry here that will
do what the current one doesn't and hasn't i e.
Answer the very pressing issues like vaccine procurement, vaccine efficacy,
economic fallout, social fallout and so on. In Britain, they've
got the decision makers in front of the investigators. Here,
(05:40):
we will not. That is a major, major mistake. It's
unconscionable to me that these people who around the country
can make the decisions they made, and yet now in
their new lives and their new jobs, unscathed, walk away
scot free with no real sense of accountability. Britain in
Report one very clearly was not ready and didn't react well.
I don't have a shadow of a doubt the same
(06:01):
applies to us. At least Britain have done the right thing.
To this point in trying to put that right, I'm
yet to be conn we are.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Come on, guys. I thought we'd all agreed COVID was
over and we didn't have to worry about it anymore.
And then Joe Biden got it at course last week
and we're all reminded that it still a thing. God
damn it.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
The rewrap.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Oh well, almost the eve of the Olympics in Paris,
and it's already turning to Castard. Here's Mike with some details.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Mike, my daughter, this is an interesting insight. You know,
I'm not a fan of France at the best of times,
but this Olympic Games has got cluster written all over it.
Already we've had a rape allegation or a rape charge
against an Australian the Channel nine crew. Two of them
were attacked on the street overnight. You've got the problem
with the saying. Of course they're being told. Athletes are
(06:47):
being told not to go out, and if you go out,
certainly not to be wearing a uniform because you've got trouble. Mike,
my daughter at the Olympics, I said, the cues to
get food in the village is ridiculous. She says they
ran out of meat yesterday, ran out of meat yesterday.
Village isn't even full yet. Said she had popcorn for
dinner as at nine pm. The cues of food for
(07:08):
so long. I'm assuming you're referring your daughters as an
athlete or at least working at the Olympic game.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
For popcorn for dinner, is that necessarily a bad thing.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
It's what do you have, It's it's the treat you
have when you're not having a treat, isn't it? Because
it's not that bad for you exactly.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I mean, admittedly, if you go a bit heavy with
the batter or the you probably need a caramel.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
If you're running the hundred or doing the high jump,
you need some carbs. So you need something, well you can.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
I noticed that there was a little packet of chocolate
popcorn turned up in the pantry yesterday.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
In your pantry. Yeah, how did it turn up? I
thought you did the shopping.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I know you.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Did you buy it and put it in the pantry.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I did go it, glint. I didn't. I didn't buy it,
but I saw it, and I thought, am I allowed that?
Given that I didn't buy it?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Aren't you? The man of the house?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Glean not really a bit like like Karmela's second gentleman.
Maybe they need a rule that you can only have
Olympics at in coastal cities that have like the ocean
next to them, so you can do things like surf
and swim stuff like that. Matt, No, too sensible the
(08:13):
rerap of course, this coalition government, they think of themselves
as being the vast yarn of common sense. Simmy and
Brown especially he seems to do more traffic reports on
our station than our traffic reporters.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
My great fear is that the administration of all of
this is slower than the digging. Is that fear in
the sense, by the time you get a PPP or
the Chinese involved, or any number of you know, sovereign
wealth funds or whoever it may be, this is all
paperwork and nothing moves fast enough.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
No, the intent here is to move at pace to
get the procurement done quickly. That's why we're saying it's
actually let's let's find efficiencies and do all three projects
as one project rather than do them as separate, separate
individual procurement phases, individual design phases. So the intent is
to speed up all of that paperwork. We've also highlighted,
as we announced yesterday, that we're looking at changes to
(09:04):
the Public Work Actor around property property acquisition.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
How quickly does that happen?
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Well, Well, at the moment, property exisition is one of
the big big slowdowns in terms of that adds two
to three years to being able to start construction.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
So what are you going to change it to? We're
coming to get your house full stop.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Well, ultimately there's things that we need to look at,
such as incentive payments. Whether there needs to be one
of the key issues at the moment.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
And the scene of payments, So can you put it
through my place? I got a place some there, so
if you're paying me twenty percent on top, I'll sell
it to you now.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Well exactly if you Those are the type of things
we need to look at in terms of saying, well,
if we need to speed up the process. But the
other part of it is if you're if you're a
serial litigant, you have the opportunity to oppose a consent
through the consenting phase and then you get to reoppose
it right through the public worksack phase as well and
have all of the same arguments all over again. And
(09:54):
so we need to say, actually, this is critical, nationally
important infrastructure. We need to look at how can we
can speed up that process so we can get spades
in the ground faster to be able to deliver the
infrastruction New Zealanders need.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Sooner the better. So mean appreciate it very much, Simian
Brand transpor Minister, just a text and what about the
second ash Burton Bridge. Mike a'ld say that question for
another day. I'm just not sure what part.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Of the new road were you proposing that your property
be used for, because it would kind of have to
be a sort of a backward kind of a loop
to the existing.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Or something scenic detour, right, come on, and and and
a small you know what do they call those things
on the side of the road when you're getting too tired,
you know, take a little break, a little.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Breakstore, a little wrisk stop, little wristk stop.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Sure, okay, often mee twenty percent, it's yours.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah. I don't think they're going to bring that expressway
back around down to Mike's place to take a d tour,
no matter how many you know, rest stop, cup of
teas and coffees he's offering, and I don't think he
is offering them. I am a glen Hart. That was
the rewrap. I hope you're you're you'll be revived enough
(11:02):
for another episode of this tomorrow. See then, don't go
past Mike's place. You're going the wrong way.
