You're listening to a podcast from news Talk said B
follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Rewrap.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I'll go there and welcome to the Rewrap for Wednesday,
all the best that's from the mind casting breakfast on
news Talks d be in a Cilia package.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
I am Glen Heart and today.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
So these Palestine protests, I think they've been highly successful.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
They've pretty much sold everything there, so that's great. We'll
celebrate that shortly.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
National's popularity in the all these poles, no matter how
irrelevant the poles are, it can't be denied. They are
in a bit of a slump and we'll get into that.
And we've still got a nurse shortage. Well I'm not
quite sure we'll have all that, you know, kicking ass
and bannacle scraping and bas tracking what's what's happened with
all that?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
But anyway, before any of that, the price of peaches
is all anybody cares about anymore.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
To tell you what, I've only nostalgia paid the bills. Ay,
but when it comes to peaches, clearly it doesn't what
he's routers. I'm sure you're well aware by now, PAMs,
PAMs do a good line of imported stuff. Those who
buy peaches and tins like cheap a lot of us
like cheap. Cheap has never been more appealing in the
cost of living crisis, of course, And if I was
in the business of patriotic purchase, I would close my
door and go home. It does work, and I was
(01:34):
looking this up yesterday. It does work to a degree. Overseas.
Australia's running Buy Aussie campaign, which has had some traction. Canada,
you might be aware, gave it a good push post
that tariff debarcle. French are into it. But a place
like New Zealand, despite the rhetoric, has never really excelled
at being good at buying local hazard. I mean, PAMs
do peaches at ninety nine cents, Whatties are doing them
(01:54):
at three point ninety. They would have to be some
pretty spectacular fruit for that price. And that is why
what is they told us yesterday are out. Demand is down.
People are simply not buying that stuff anymore. Who needs
Brian down the road in the Bay when you can
have fruit from Lord knows where at a fraction of
the price. Peaches are also out of favor, as greg
My hairdresser and I were talking about yesterday afternoon. Who
(02:16):
buys cans of peaches anymore? Anyway? It's school camp food,
he said. But he might just be one of those
trendy urbanites. I walked him down memory lane with my
childhood canned fruit salad. You remember that day at peachas
and then pears and apples and two cherries, the cherries
with the prize. I'd happily burn a whole can of
syrupy crap to land those two cherries. Love the cherries.
But here's the thing. One of the tricks in life
(02:36):
is honesty. When we face these issues, we burn a
lot of energy and time on things we know aren't
going to work or a past they're use by date,
or are indeed a waste of time. Marching, for Gars
is not saving a single life or stopping the war.
Turning up at Cop thirty isn't going to get us
an inch closer to net zero. Helling Clark is never
going to think more Conscerans in Eden Park is good,
and we don't like local anything. If we pay more
(02:59):
than some cheap crap from Vietnam or TEAMU, it is
what it is, you.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Know what I always says, I like peaches growed trees.
I'm not sure that was the appropriate time to say that.
I feel like I've lost my dad. Joke Mojo rewrap.
Maybe I need to go and see Mike's headdresser or
maybe even Kate's hairdresser for some advice.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Yeh's talking to an Asian speaking of realistair. It's talking
to an agent. Yesterday, four houses coming on. I don't
think you want to underestimate the number of people about
the place who are sort of getting their property ready
for spring. I think there's something good coming on there.
And Katie was at the hairdresser. I was at the
head dresser yesterday, a massive hair dressing day yesterday at
our house.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Well, I was going on, because you're normally a Thursday here.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah, but I've got the dentist Thursday. And they couldn't
move the dentist Thursday. Because I've told you about the
dentist Thursday. Once you go to the dentist, you can't
move her, and you can't you can move the hair dressing,
but you can't move the dentistry. If I went to
move the dentistry because it was a clash, and I thought,
hold on, here. If I go and tell her I
can't come, she go, no problem, I'll see you in
March next year. So I had to then move the
hair dressing. But so we look good, But we both
(04:01):
ended up having a good explanation about well, obviously fruit
salad and canned peaches, but was at the headresser and
that head dress and those people who are putting their
houses on the market as well, several people. So I
think the supposed to.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Be able to afford peaches well.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
And that's the next thing Katie said, how is it
we're bitching about butter. We don't want to pay anymore
for butter, but we're more than happy to pay more
for peats. There's no logic to it the argument. I
thought you made a very good point.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
I'm very uncomfortable with this shift to a Tuesday hairdressing aboardment.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
I feel like we've slipped into some kind of parallel universe.
Everything nothing's like it ever was before. What were we
talking about? Right? Do protests work?
Speaker 3 (04:48):
I guess it depends what you're protesting about and where
you are when you're doing it.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Now, if it's any help to those chained to Nichola
Willis's office. There is a decent piece of ready yesterday
about whether Israel was heading towards a South African moment.
A further in an interview this week, Nitta who seems
to accept that some sort of isolation was the prices
country wars and is paying for as a result of
this particular war. But none of that, None of that
has been brought about by people chaining themselves to door handles,
(05:16):
nor would the cause have been advanced in any way,
shape or form by a Nickela taking communion with them,
nor indeed by the march that wandered through parts of
Auckland over the weekend. What has led the WA to
this point is several foults. Firstly, Hamas started. This is
an indisputable fact. The raid of two years ago was
entirely on them. What happened next has happened numerous times
in one form or another. Hamas starts at Israel respond
(05:39):
that responded the way they have this time once again
for a couple of reasons. One it was particularly brazen attack,
and two America has a president that doesn't mind the
sort of retaliation that's taken place. Never before have we
seen drawings of a new Middle East with millions of
gardens living in a trump like Fularidian utopia. Now it
is fair to suggest events of the last few days
i e. The attack and quitar has pushed the Americans
(06:01):
to the limit of not beyond. But you will note
that Rubio is currently in the Middle East and still
shaking hands with Netanyahu and still happy to be seeing
them the photo. Meantime, back here, nuns are chained door handles,
people wave flags, and the angst and the media over
whether we will recognize Palestine next month in New York
is palpable. But to reiterate, at no point do any
of our actions make a jot of difference, And once
(06:22):
this particular chapter is over, in whatever form that takes,
we will go back to a relative stable period of
coexistence until someone does something stupid all over again, which
of course they will. This story has been told many, many, many,
many many times over. When hate drives the narrative, nothing
ever really changes.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Now I'm going to be completely over honest.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I haven't followed the finer details of this chaining yourself
to the thing case, but it is my understanding that
they were there for over thirty hours.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Did they go whease like what was the or that
were they wearing adult nappies or something? Do we find
that out?
Speaker 3 (07:04):
What do you mean that's not important, it's very important,
very distracting if you need to and you can't.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Did you change to something the rewrappit? Yes.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
So the polls keep on coming and none of them
are really particularly great news for national It's a trend.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
It's a stupid, irrelevant trend, but it's a trend.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Did I tell you or did I tell you? I've
been telling you for the last couple of weeks, this
polling thing. It adds up to nothing as long as
the Murray Party aren't going to be part of the government.
Of the Murray Party, you're not going to be part
of the government under Labor. And even Chris Hopkins worked
that one out yesterday when angry John John Tammahery joined
the Fairest Party and said, basically, he's right. These people
don't want to bet. They're not cooperative, they're not interested.
(07:43):
Ask Shannon Helbert. He had some interesting things to say
yesterday about the Murray Party. We'll talk to Jinny about
that later on. But the problem is they don't want
to be part of government and the only way they
would ever be part of government is the most outrageous
requests and demands, and they're never going to be met.
So suddenly the polling is not what it is because
the polling companies, of course, add these things together. There
go center left, center right as a block. There is
(08:05):
a center right block, and that's called the government. There
isn't a center left block. We've never had a center
left block like this, never, and we're not going to
have one. But here's the problem for the government. This polling.
And this was interesting polling yesterday, and to say it
surprised me is probably overstating the case. But I went, hmmm,
so who do you blame for the state of play? Now?
(08:25):
People who listen to this program unquestionably would come up
with a number. I reckon it be eighty twenty. They
blamed the previous government, and they blamed the previous government
for an economic state, because it's a fact they buggered
the place, Adrian or Chris Hopkins, Jasindra Dern, Grant Robertson.
They stuffed the place and we're still paying the price
for that. So that would be the score of the
(08:46):
audience of this program. But if you do it around
the rest of the country. Thirty seven percent blame the
current government and thirty one percent blame the previous government.
Now argue that all you want and go, well, what
are they thick? Yes, clearly thick as a post. But
there's still voters nevery voted, no matter how thick gets
a vote. Twenty four percent blame both equally. I could
(09:07):
go down the twin twenty four percent route myself to
the extent that you know, my rule, my rule as
you get one term, do whatever you want, so whatever
you want, but that's it. After that you no longer
blame the previous administration. So these guys have got about
eighteen about twelve months left until we go to the election,
and they've got to be able to go we did this,
this and this, here's the fruit, here's the fruition. Here
(09:28):
are the good times rolling re elect us. So I
could go down. But they haven't been as good as
they could have been. They haven't been as effective as
they could have been, haven't been as balls to the
wall as they could have been. So I could be
in that twenty four percent and say, you know what,
a little bit of it. We're not as far ahead
as we should be because these guys didn't go at
it as hard as they could, so I could be
(09:49):
in that twenty four percent. But there is no question
in my mind that the bulk of the trouble in
this country is directly at the feet of a dune
Robertson Hipkins et al. And But you can't argue with
those numbers if this is where this government's in trouble,
If genuinely a large portion of people go to the
(10:10):
election next year and go it is this lot's fault
and they had three years and they didn't fix it.
Therefore they didn't know what they were doing. They lose.
You won't be able to get a grab a seat
from me in New Zealand to Australia.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
I mean, as we keep pointing out, there are a
lot of you know, heaps of people vote. How many
of those people make an informed vote? That's another question,
isn't it the reround We're going to finish up here
talking about nurses? Yep, We're sick of talking about teachers.
(10:47):
Let's go back to nurses because once again we all
want them to be paid more, but we can't just
keep paying them more and more and more and more
and will that solve the fact that we don't have
enough of them anyway?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Nurses? Late twenty twenty four, friend in Dunedin told us
they normally employ approximately fifteen fifty newly trained nurses annually,
but a KAPA twenty five has been applied. Why are
these young folks being trained? They're not given a job
when the country is short of nurses. It's quite simple.
It's no money. They haven't got money. Why they don't
come out and just say look we've got no money
and that solve their problem. The other thing, it's an
(11:19):
interesting point you make. It's the psychology of work. Traditionally,
nurses into training with the view to getting a job.
In other words, if you train, you will get work,
which is true. It's just a more global equation these
days than it is a local one. So in other words,
if you train locally nails and nurse, you may or
may not get a job, but you will get one internationally.
So it's just that mindset that if I train, do
(11:40):
I automatically get work doesn't apply to many jobs in life.
A lot of people go to university or to training,
or to tech or whatever with no guarantee of work
and So this idea that if I'm a nurse, I
therefore deserve to be instantly employed probably needed to change anyway.
But in a country that literally has no money, you
can't just keep employing people for the sake of employing.
(12:01):
We spend inordinate amounts of money in this country. Thirty
billion dollars we spend on health in this country. How
much more do you want? And there was a very
good and I think one of the best points Lux's
maidens time as leader of this country is that it's
not the money the amount, it's how it's spent. You
cannot tell me we spend the amount of money we
do on health, and yet somehow magically we still need more.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Perhaps if the hospital parking money all just went directly
into the nurses' pockets, with that fix things.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
I'm just blue skying here. I mean, there must be
a solution.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Surely this can't be just one of life's in soluble
problems everywhere around the world. I am a green hat
a little bit of pressing into the podcast today.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Sorry about that. I'll try and ignore all the real
news and just give you the fun stuff tomorrow. I
see there.

National's popularity in the all these poles, no matter how
irrelevant the poles are, it can't be denied. They are
in a bit of a slump and we'll get into that.
And we've still got a nurse shortage. Well I'm not
quite sure we'll have all that, you know, kicking ass

Speaker 3 (10:24):
I mean, as we keep pointing out, there are a
lot of you know, heaps of people vote. How many
of those people make an informed vote? That's another question,
isn't it the reround We're going to finish up here
talking about nurses? Yep, We're sick of talking about teachers.
(10:47):
Let's go back to nurses because once again we all
want them to be paid more, but we can't just
keep paying them more and more and more and more
and will that solve the fact that we don't have
enough of them anyway?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Nurses? Late twenty twenty four, friend in Dunedin told us
they normally employ approximately fifteen fifty newly trained nurses annually,
but a KAPA twenty five has been applied. Why are
these young folks being trained? They're not given a job
when the country is short of nurses. It's quite simple.
It's no money. They haven't got money. Why they don't
come out and just say look we've got no money
and that solve their problem. The other thing, it's an
(11:19):
interesting point you make. It's the psychology of work. Traditionally,
nurses into training with the view to getting a job.
In other words, if you train, you will get work,
which is true. It's just a more global equation these
days than it is a local one. So in other words,
if you train locally nails and nurse, you may or
may not get a job, but you will get one internationally.
So it's just that mindset that if I train, do
(11:40):
I automatically get work doesn't apply to many jobs in life.
A lot of people go to university or to training,
or to tech or whatever with no guarantee of work
and So this idea that if I'm a nurse, I
therefore deserve to be instantly employed probably needed to change anyway.
But in a country that literally has no money, you
can't just keep employing people for the sake of employing.
(12:01):
We spend inordinate amounts of money in this country. Thirty
billion dollars we spend on health in this country. How
much more do you want? And there was a very
good and I think one of the best points Lux's
maidens time as leader of this country is that it's
not the money the amount, it's how it's spent. You
cannot tell me we spend the amount of money we
do on health, and yet somehow magically we still need more.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Perhaps if the hospital parking money all just went directly
into the nurses' pockets, with that fix things.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
I'm just blue skying here. I mean, there must be
a solution.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Surely this can't be just one of life's in soluble
problems everywhere around the world. I am a green hat
a little bit of pressing into the podcast today.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Sorry about that. I'll try and ignore all the real
news and just give you the fun stuff tomorrow. I
see there.
