You're listening to a podcast from News Talks EDB. Follow
this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio,
The Rewrap.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
And Welcome to the Rerap for Thursday.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
All the best buts from the Mike Husking Breakfast on
News Talks EDB in a sillier package. I am Glen
Hearten today ev myths Bustard. One of your favorite regular
segments on the show, isn't it We'll try and swerve
the giant ship that is acc.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Try and get that to change direction.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Paul Goldsmith, what is he the Minister of exactly? Is
he the Minister of non delivery? We'll get into that
and where the brains are being drained from? And two
but before any of that school Lunch I thought we'd
finished talking about that months ago.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
I reckon there should be a rule and the rules
around balance. Part of the media's demise is its un
fairness and coverage, the latest example of which is the
school lunch program. Right, we've got a smattering of coverage.
When I say smattering, I found two things yesterday too,
one by Radio New Zealand who have the same stats.
A story number two, which is by the Herald Radio
New Zealand. Once they produced the stats in their story,
(01:33):
clearly couldn't help themselves, given it was a good news story,
So they went and found a miserable principle to moan
some more about the lunch program. Their moan was given
the previous moaning didn't work and things weren't going back
to the way they were. They must have given up.
The numbers, by the way, for the school lunch program
ninety nine percent plus delivery each day. Complaints are down
by ninety two percent, students positive feedback through the roof. Now,
(01:53):
the Herald story contained term three testing news new meals
with students in the trial, posting a seventy three percent
positive feedback. Now, by any standards, these numbers are a
success story. Where there was trouble at the state, the
trouble was fixed, so fairness. Very little the government did
this year got more media attention than school lunches. TV
(02:15):
in particular went to town on it, night after night after night,
melting plastic, burnt kids, shots of mush, finger pointing union reps,
delivery delays. It was a feeding fronty and the media
were in boots and all. So where are they now? Ah?
Apart from two stories, Where are they now? We've got
stats and detail, we have a fix. We have happy kids,
(02:37):
and do remember are the reason for it all in
the first place is we have money saved and a
lot of it. Not just money saved, but more kids
actually getting fed. So as an exercise, we are doing
more with less and the recipients are happy. So where
are the stories? Where's the balance? Where's the fairness? So
my rule should be minute for minute, colomage for colomage.
(02:58):
If you love the pile on, you've got to be
back to present the end result. You have to do
the right thing. You have to provide the other side,
the balance, the outcome. If you don't, then the charge
of buyers sticks it. You look like an attention seeking
clickbait warrior, and you'll please for value of journalism for.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Flat or better? Still, can we not talk about it
at all?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Right from the beginning, Maybe just make a brief note
that there are school lunches and carry on and not
get obsessed with it and talk about it every day
for weeks on end.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
It'd be difl this scenario. I would have thought it's
the rewrap, right, It's not. I don't know if it's
a great.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Time to be an EV manufacturer or even an EV.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Owner these days.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I mean some I guess some of them are doing
all right, not all of them, though, it's.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
What we need. I was thinking to myself yesterday. What
we need is, are are you sure we know what
we are doing before we rush into this catalog or guide.
So the EV story might turn out to be one
of the worlds And certainly the transport industry's biggest headaches
is companying up to company admit they leapt and wait
too quick to electric brought into all the government led
madness on climate and invested god knows how much to
(04:12):
transfer to a mode of movement the world wasn't ready
for or wanted. EV's were sold as a well way
more than they ever were, and now even the scientists
are waking up. We've got a very good piece of
reading I'd recommend to you from doctor carrollin Shaw, published
in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, whereby they
do what we really should have done at the start.
They look at the EV in totality, don't get all
(04:35):
hyped and hooked up on omissions, I mean, yes, emissions
In an EV V petrol debate, drop, But what about
the rest of it? They looked at all sorts of things.
The extra weight, for example, therefore the extra wear and tear,
the weight and therefore the potential for injury if you
get hit by something way heavier. The cheapness of driving,
therefore you drive more. Therefore our fitness drops as we
drive and don't walk. Myriad of things that should have
(04:56):
been thought about and scoped on day one and weighed up.
Because here's the end result when you add all that
stuff up, the good, the bad, and the ugly electrifying
cars would lie somewhere, she says, between harmful and neutral.
Are you serious harmful? Going electric could be harmful? Would
it have not been useful to crunch a few of
those ideas to understand right at the start before the
(05:19):
subsession took off? Or like so much ideology, do the
details not really matter as long as we can leap
on the old bandwagon to take a small piece of the
bigger picture. Milkot For all, it's worth knowing that we
can leave the reality and the clean up for another day. This,
by the way, is not anti ev It's just simply
the realization that, like most things in life these days,
what was the answer was the obsession was the next
(05:39):
new thing actually turns out to be just another piece
in a way bigger, more complex picture than the obsessive
ever care to learn them.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Yeah, I'm worried about this tire issue. I'm not sure
how heavy my car is. I must look it up
because I know that full EV's with the big batteries
are very heavy and very.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Hard on tires.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
And yeah, I hate replacing tires just because you have
to every so often. There's really no way to avoid it,
and if you don't drive the car at all.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Rewrap.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Now is ACC finally actually going to do something about
bridging the gap between what they're paying out and the
money that gets paid to them, because it's one of
those that are yawning.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Gaps slightly more important at the moment, though, I'm very
excited to be able to read that ACC have agreed,
and I've been on to ACC in the last couple
of weeks. If you listened to the program regularly, the
amount of money they're spending, the number of people who
are receiving money and the shortfall is alarming, so much so,
and I reiterate this, Nikola willis no longer adds their
month near numbers in to the government's projected surplus return
(06:47):
or return to surplus, if and when that ever happens.
Because the numbers are so large, if she put those
numbers in, we'd never returned to surplus. So they've agreed
to slash the growth and claimants receiving conversation for more
than a year, cut the money they spend on social rehabilitation.
The accumulated deficit in ACC's reserves expected to increase from
(07:07):
twelve point four billion last year alone it was seven
point two billion, to reach seventeen billion by June of
next year. Scott Simpson, who's the minister, he's working on
a turnaround plan. Good luck with that, assuming that involves
a wand and a lot of magic. There are twenty
four thousand people in this country who have been on
benefits ACC for more than a year. Twenty four thousand people,
(07:30):
and you wonder why they've got no money.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah, So she's a behemoth bit of bureaucracy affecting a
lot of people going in one direction. And you know,
if I understand anything about physics, it's hard to change direction.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
When you're a boat of that size. But my good
luck it's a rewrap.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Mike's been reading about Paul Goldsmith and all the things
he's achieved and the more things he hasn't.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Can I also congratulate it while while I'm in a
good mood, a lyric Wyery Smith, who appears to be
my favorite person at the spinoff spinoffs an odd thing.
Duncan Grieves will hate me for saying that, but nevertheless,
it's an odd thing. But Lyrica appears to be the
star of the show. So she's writing yesterday about Paul Goldsmith,
who a year ago, July of twenty twenty four, made
a whole lot of promises about the media in this country.
(08:18):
And I commented at the time, and I've commented a
number of times that Paul was on a hiding to
nothing and as a politician with in charge of an
industry you can't fix, don't make promises you're not going
to deliver on. And he made a bunch of promises
that he was never going to deliver on. He said
he would take quote immediate action to support New Zealand's
media and content production sectors. So there was the promise
(08:43):
in his press release to progress the fair digital news
bargaining Bill Now I said at the time quite clearly.
I've said it many many times. It was going nowhere.
Why it passed its first reading nearly two months after
Goldsmith's promise, But it's been collecting dust ever since. It's
sitting in a bayan. It's why, well, because we're looking
at the Australian government. I said this at the time,
(09:03):
and I said, the Australians have passed this rule. They
don't have a clue what they're doing. They're not dragging
Netflix and Google and all the others to some sort
of table whereby you get a whole lot of money
from them. Those people will cut their service off to
a country. And if they're doing that in Australia, he's
certainly not cutting us a good deal in New Zealand.
So that's going nowhere. He was going to remove quote
unquote outdated advertising restrictions which have been sitting stifling innovation.
(09:27):
His words, not mine. In other words, he was going
to let TV and radio run ads on Sunday and
public holidays. As he done that, No, he hasn't. Would
we like him to do that, yes, we would. Would
that generate some men come, yes, it would. Now that
he can be held accountable for because he could have
done it and he hasn't. That was an easy fix.
Then he announced Culture and Heritage, sort of a consultation
(09:50):
document that proposed ensuring that smart televisions had local apps
pre installed and displayed prominently. Now, as far as I know,
Paul's not in charge of Samsung or any other person
that makes a television, So once again he was saying
stuff he was never going to be able to deliver on.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I'm just wondering, you know, what'll make them do that?
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Well, if people want that, correct, I'm just wondering if
at which point of this dissertation do I use the
word napui just to give you a sense of where
my thinking on poor old Paul is. So that's going nowhere.
Another idea he had in the last year was he
was going to merge New Zealand on air in the
film Commission Together. Now, whether that was going to materially
(10:34):
make any difference to the world, I don't know. I mean,
there'd be fewer wonks with pens and pieces of paper
wondering around whether we should fund strange projects that nobody
watches or listens to. But he hasn't done that. Either.
So it's been a busy year for Paul. He did
take some money off radio in New Zealand that owns
worth of knighthood in my humble opinion, and he's committed
(10:56):
six and a half million dollars over four years for
hiring some regional journalists. And I think the regional journalist
thing was slightly controversial under Labour because you had to
Cowtower to Tataraty and all the other nonsense. But nevertheless,
the regional journalist thing I think has been proven excellent
and we're seeing some good coverage of sort of stuff
around parts of the country you wouldn't see otherwise. So
I'll give them marks on that. But as Lyric quite
(11:16):
rightly writes at length unless the other problem with the
spin off and newsroom they write God, they write at
length anyway, So I had to read that took me
an hour and a half to do.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Thank you, thank you for doing that.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Summarize it up in about a minute and a half.
But anyway, Paul needs to do better on the media
or if he can't, don't promise you'll do stuff you
can't deliver in the first place, would be my piece
of advice.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Yeah, I feel like he's a bit like the opposite
of you know how we've had the ministers of everything
in the past.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Like Stephen Joyce.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
We always used to joke, you know, seem to be
the minister of everything, including making the tea. At the moment,
Chris Bishop seems to be the minister of everything that's
going on, he said at he's like the.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Minister of nothing, isn't he? Poor old Paul?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
And I've always liked him because I think he's got
great taste in spectacles.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
But I guess it takes more than that, doesn't it.
The re wrap right, let's.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Finish up with this a little quick hat on the
brain drain. Now which particular brain drain are we referring to?
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Wow, that's where it gets interesting.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Isn't it funny when you hear people from other countries say,
all the young people are leaving. My nephew from Rome
a couple of years ago came here, thought we sucked
and ended up in Australia's having the time of his life.
Be that as it may. So they're leaving Australia. Young
people are leaving Australia. Young people are leaving Italy. Young
people are leaving America. Young people are leaving England, young
people are leaving New Zealand. Where all the young people go?
(12:40):
Where are where they go? Space?
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Well, I know he meant that as a joke, but
I mean, Okin's raiser the only logical explanation if everybody
is suffering from a brain drain they are. It's aliens.
It's alien abductions, isn't it. That's what we're dealing with here.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
There's never been anything more obvious there as I can tell.
I don't you mind.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I'm not a big fan of young people, but some
people read about these things.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I am Glenn Hart. That was the rerap.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Might have got a little bit silly at the end there,
but su if you're right for listening all the way
to the end, I'll see you back here again tomorrow,
and then you can choose QUIESH Pats you feel up
to listening.

were in boots and all. So where are they now? Ah?
Apart from two stories, Where are they now? We've got

don't have a clue what they're doing. They're not dragging

from them. Those people will cut their service off to
a country. And if they're doing that in Australia, he's
certainly not cutting us a good deal in New Zealand.
So that's going nowhere. He was going to remove quote
unquote outdated advertising restrictions which have been sitting stifling innovation.

he can be held accountable for because he could have

Then he announced Culture and Heritage, sort of a consultation
(09:50):
document that proposed ensuring that smart televisions had local apps
pre installed and displayed prominently. Now, as far as I know,
Paul's not in charge of Samsung or any other person
that makes a television, So once again he was saying
stuff he was never going to be able to deliver on.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I'm just wondering, you know, what'll make them do that?
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Well, if people want that, correct, I'm just wondering if
at which point of this dissertation do I use the
word napui just to give you a sense of where
my thinking on poor old Paul is. So that's going nowhere.
Another idea he had in the last year was he
was going to merge New Zealand on air in the
film Commission Together. Now, whether that was going to materially
(10:34):
make any difference to the world, I don't know. I mean,
there'd be fewer wonks with pens and pieces of paper
wondering around whether we should fund strange projects that nobody
watches or listens to. But he hasn't done that. Either.
So it's been a busy year for Paul. He did
take some money off radio in New Zealand that owns
worth of knighthood in my humble opinion, and he's committed
(10:56):
six and a half million dollars over four years for
hiring some regional journalists. And I think the regional journalist
thing was slightly controversial under Labour because you had to
Cowtower to Tataraty and all the other nonsense. But nevertheless,
the regional journalist thing I think has been proven excellent
and we're seeing some good coverage of sort of stuff
around parts of the country you wouldn't see otherwise. So
I'll give them marks on that. But as Lyric quite

Thank you, thank you for doing that.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Summarize it up in about a minute and a half.
But anyway, Paul needs to do better on the media
or if he can't, don't promise you'll do stuff you
can't deliver in the first place, would be my piece
of advice.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Yeah, I feel like he's a bit like the opposite
of you know how we've had the ministers of everything
in the past.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Like Stephen Joyce.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
We always used to joke, you know, seem to be
the minister of everything, including making the tea. At the moment,
Chris Bishop seems to be the minister of everything that's
going on, he said at he's like the.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Minister of nothing, isn't he? Poor old Paul?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
And I've always liked him because I think he's got
great taste in spectacles.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
But I guess it takes more than that, doesn't it.
The re wrap right, let's.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Finish up with this a little quick hat on the
brain drain. Now which particular brain drain are we referring to?
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Wow, that's where it gets interesting.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Isn't it funny when you hear people from other countries say,
all the young people are leaving. My nephew from Rome
a couple of years ago came here, thought we sucked
and ended up in Australia's having the time of his life.
Be that as it may. So they're leaving Australia. Young
people are leaving Australia. Young people are leaving Italy. Young
people are leaving America. Young people are leaving England, young
people are leaving New Zealand. Where all the young people go?
(12:40):
Where are where they go? Space?
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Well, I know he meant that as a joke, but
I mean, Okin's raiser the only logical explanation if everybody
is suffering from a brain drain they are. It's aliens.
It's alien abductions, isn't it. That's what we're dealing with here.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
There's never been anything more obvious there as I can tell.
I don't you mind.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I'm not a big fan of young people, but some
people read about these things.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I am Glenn Hart. That was the rerap.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Might have got a little bit silly at the end there,
but su if you're right for listening all the way
to the end, I'll see you back here again tomorrow,
and then you can choose QUIESH Pats you feel up
