You're listening to a podcast from News Talk SEDB. Follow
this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio
The Rewrap.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I go there and welcome to the Rewrap for Thursday.
All the best, but it's from the Mic Hosking Breakfast
on Newstalks EDB and a Sillier package. I am Glen
Heart and today not more poles? Why have we got
more poles? What is happening? I will mark the week.
That's what's happening. It's Friday, even though it's Thursday. And
(00:50):
if you don't like needles, you won't want to listen
to the end of this podcast. You don't like blood
and needles. But before any of that, Bishop has a
bomb shell the councils, there's some kind of alliteration lining
up there. I had to see quite quite sort of.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
A move of the week. I reckon Housing Minister Chris
Bishop dropped the bombshell on local body operators yesterday that
the government's decided to give them the power to intervene
in local body decision making. Round housing. Mind you, we
could argue scrapping the calamitous census was a good move
or indeed, I'm a massive fan of reporting inflation data
on a monthly basis, sort of making us look like
a first world country. All good decisions, I would have thought,
(01:29):
But as regards councils and housing in the broader interests
of the small country finally getting its fiscal act together,
this move cannot come soon enough. Simple truth is we're
over counseled. We have ludicrous numbers of local do good
as and vast array of fivedoms making decisions that may
or may not make any sense locally, far less incorporating
themselves into the bigger national picture. Part of the problem
(01:50):
is too often counsels have not been up to much.
Too many councils a little with acriminy in infighting, progresses
stalled or watered down, or major workers ignored in favor
of more headline grabbing material that makes the local representatives
look good. Not all, of course, but too many. Taro
at a Wellington christ Church to Invercargol. The infighting and
dysfunction now legendary. What you can say about central government
(02:10):
that you can't say about local government is most of
us took part in the democratic process, ie we voted,
and as a result, this government, rightly or wrongly, has
a mandate to get on and do stuff, mainly stuff
that got cocked up by the previous government. If there's
been a constant theme of this current government, even from
its broad based supporters, it's that they haven't done as
much as they might have. They've got plans and ideas
(02:31):
and announcements and KPIs what they don't have is a
vast array of results, tangible things that have been changed,
leading us to quite clearly being better off. It would
appear with the bishop announcement that message and lack of
traction is finally hitting home and they set around the
cabinet table and worked out that they've been in well,
they've got about a year left. I reckon to put
some major runs on the board so that election time
(02:54):
is about delivery and not promises. The country basically is
too small for this. Many councils and committees. A lot
of decisions have major national economic implications, of course, and
as such central government has or should have a say
or they'll hate it. Of course, nation whale and known
about local democracy. But guess what big picture economic success
is more important. The big picture generally is more important.
(03:15):
The national story is more important. Christ Juts learned that
last week over their intensification scrap which lasted years cost
them millions, that this government is serious and on a
central v local head to head only one side is
coming out on top.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Bishop blasts bewildered. See counsel in the start of the
b it's the poem. Damn it man, that's sure. I
was going to make it work. The rewrap right, So
yet more polling to decide that for no real reason,
because it doesn't make any difference.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Mike, how does the country based on commodity exports and
tourism ever get so much debt? One, living beyond our
means too, extremely poor economic management, three and overvalued currency. Well,
the answer is you will elect Grant Robinson as your
finance minister, which brings us to this random poll this
morning that you'll find in the Herald Ipsos New Zealand
Issues monitsors survey, Labor, more capable handing, handling eleven of
(04:09):
the twenty top issues that we have health, housing, education, transport, immigration, unemployment,
national beat, labor on three things, the economy, crime, defense,
some foreign affairs. Now, if you read Richard Prebble yesterday,
which is well worth doing, he got advice from an
Australian genius of many years standing. He said, unless you
can win the economy, you win nothing. So nationals still
win the economy, therefore they win the election. And that
(04:31):
was the other poll out yesterday. They're still in government.
But what is it we're based in labor? Is it
new policies which we don't have or is it the
old policies which crippled the country and sent us into recession?
And so did you enjoy recession? Did you? If you're
backing labor, so you thoroughly enjoyed the three recessions? And
you want more of that? Is that what you're telling
us in this poll? Weird as pole going.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
It's interesting, isn't it? Here in the cloistered world of
news talks thev we often forget that there are actually
people out there who don't listen and aren't as well informed.
I'm saying that, but quotes. Can you hear my ear quotes?
That's the noise of their quotes. It's similar to the
(05:14):
sound of one hand clapping, which is this, As bat
Simpson once rightfully pointed out, that's my air quotes. When
I do the air quotes, the fingers go right down
into the palms of my hands like that, So you
know I'm doing them? What are we talking about? A
rewrap ah? That's right, stupid poles that they shouldn't be doing.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Harold Pole, which is fascinating as all the smalling Mike,
I'm absolutely astounded by that pole. Don't people realize how
much worse things would be under labor? Well, A welcome
to the cornerstone of democracy. It doesn't really matter what
people think because everyone's entitled to their thought, and everyone's
entitled to a vote, and the person who votes labor
might be a complete idiot, but nevertheless they're allowed to
be because that's democracy. Mike, I was part of the pole.
(05:54):
Wasn't part of the pole?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Rather?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
But I know my food bill has increased, power has increased,
and for some families childcare costs have increased. The cost
of living remains national hasn't moved the dialt right, so
very good point, fair point. So what are you You're
looking to the government to solve all your problems? Are you?
Is that?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
So?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Is that the divide we're seeing? So people who vote
labor like labors to solve their problems. Wipe my bum
Please give me some KFC, give me some tickets to
the Warriors. Solve my problem? Lock me down? What sort
of Teddy Bear should I put in the window? So
that's what you love? That's why I just sind it.
In that poll last night was still the most popular
political figure in this country net favorability of plus twelve.
(06:30):
How to explain that?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
And it goes to show how wrong you can be exactly,
But nevertheless, they are you.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
They're entitled to it. They're entitled to it. So are
you telling me that labor when you talk about your
power increasing and your food increasing and your insurance increasing,
all of which is true, of course, that labor would
do something different? Now if it is, you're arguing that,
what is it they'd do different? Now? The fact is
you don't know because they haven't got any policies, and
they haven't got any policies because we're in the middle
(06:56):
of the political cycle. I don't blame them for not
having any policies. I wouldn't put any policies out either,
But they don't have any policies. So you've got no
idea what they're going to do. Last time, you go, oh,
but last time, well, last time they ran us into
three recessions, not in an in state of fact, they
ran us into three recessions. Do you like a recession
or didn't you think about that? So then we come
to the how much you want the government to solve
(07:18):
your problem? What is it you want the government to
do about your insurance bill, or your rates bill, or
your food bill. So when you say the government hasn't
moved the dial, what is it that they were supposed
to do? Any government on your food bill? So coffee's
up because they're not growing coco the way they used to,
or chocolate, or they're bombing Israel or Iran's bombing them,
(07:42):
or Israel's bombing Iran. So the other prices are what
do you want the government to do? See have you
given that a level of thought? Or was that just
at the end of a phone call from a polster
is said, what about the oh yeah, cost of living? Jeez,
sat on, I'll blame the government, Which then leads to
the ultimate question is what's the point of the poll.
What's the point of the pole if we're just going
to just is it just like a gas lighting session
(08:03):
where we all go and then they put that into numbers.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
What's that's the point of any poll at this point
of the election cycle.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Excellent question.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Gloom got another one that was my one for the week.
I'most sort of on a strip quota. We'll take it ironically.
Mike then went on later in the show to complain
that he has no control over his own life, that
he doesn't know how to get into his own bank account,
he's not allowed to buy the things he wants to buy,
(08:32):
and yet he definitely doesn't want somebody to wipe his
bum for him. With out the sound of things. So yeah,
some things he's happy to get up control of. Others
not so much. The rewrap, Oh, well, would you look
what day it is? Friday? Yaid it is. Look essentially
it is, and that means it's time to mark the week.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Time now to make a week little piece of using
current events. That well was as popular as Hancil's hanging
around at Masterton A good idea of seven not a
bad week. Monthly inflation sensors scrapped housing ministers to over
rule councils, health targets, improving things people like there might
be moving manufacturing four Hold my beer, it hit a wall.
This is a worry services four Hold my other beer.
(09:16):
It hit a wall. This is a worry. Rolliston seven
be buying Bulkan Stacket all above the aisles. You want bullish,
check out the pack and say biggest building on the island,
under budget, open early. That's how they do it in
Christchurch the Crusaders seven Greg great comeback story for Rob Penny.
It was villified a year ago on the verge of
being a hero. This weekend, what goes on? Growth six?
(09:44):
Because today's number will almost certainly be a good one,
But sadly it only takes us to April and then
I fear as well. The good news heen Nico seven
hasn't taught me a story of the week in some
ways for me, sort of living his dream, charting his
destiny and mature beyond. As he has thoroughly enjoyed the conversation,
I wish him well. Hamilton's six International travels back in Hamilton,
cool and gat or anyone visa waiver six part of
(10:06):
the Good Moves week for the country. Anything to make
it easier for tourists, Chinese or not. We should be
into Venice. Three man protesting to Bezos wedding. He's booked
the place out, He's throwing money at the joint. There
are tourist town What is it you want? Mind you?
I could ask the Spanish and their mad Airbnb rules
the same question. Actually I will Spain three wat what
(10:27):
is it you want? Radio News Radio New Zealand four
looking for people to quit That, sadly, is what you
get when the snake oil Jackson rolls his circus into
town to hand out lolly that can never be real.
Speaking of the media, streaming seven. For the first time ever,
this week's streaming beat Terrestrial and cable can buy next
trick something descent to actually watch Actually Department Q seven
(10:50):
some kind of joke Netflix this weekend if you haven't yet,
gory but worth it? The world four.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
And it's really a shame, so stupid, It's so stupid.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
It's a mess, isn't it? This time last week you
had another war started and where traditionally we have a
country and a leader that rises to the occasion. Sadly
these days know so like too busy launching his gold phone.
And that's the week. Copies on the website and the
board met yesterday, by the way to reject this week's
takeover offer. We stay under local control.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Pretty proud of that mark of the week today. Just quietly,
I'm thinking we should move it to Thursday every week.
Proud of two things that mark the week today and
also playing part of the after Shades scene from Anchorman
later on, you had to be there for re wrap.
(11:38):
Let's finish up with a better gore. Well, blood and needles.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Anyway, Mike, I was just telling my wife the same
thing yesterday after donating blood. I usually rave about the service,
but I was wondering if that up the needle gauge,
because it really hurt. Can you up a needle gauge?
I suppose you can for the flow. I don't know. Anyway,
The point was yesterday had to go down for the
blood and you always go. And first of all, yesterday
something's happened to the blood service because Kadie had a
(12:04):
blood test the other day. Nobody there, and that's unheard
of normally, this Q nine hundred miles long, nobody there.
So went in yesterday. I thought, I'll go and if
there's no one there, I'll do it. I might I'll
do it.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
This that procedure where they transfused you with the blood
of a nineteen year old to kick you young.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Same thing, and so there was no one there. And
so anyway, so the next point is the person you
go and they go number three five, Oh, come on,
and so is this a nice person? This is the
first person I want to I'm looking at them and go,
I'm looking for clues of niceness, or I'm looking for
clues of anger or frustration, or a person who's sick
of their job because they've got a needle and it
could hurt, might not. She seemed really pleasant. I thought,
(12:41):
I've got a very pleasant woman here. The other thing,
and this is sort of my problem, is that because
of who I am, I might have said some things
previously that they then go, ah, it's asking excellent.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
So you didn't matter under your breath are you going
home at four o'clock or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Nothing like that. Okay, but I say some stuff about
the hell system that every now and again in the blood,
someone's going to get me eventually. So she seemed nice anyway,
Oh oh yeah, but she didn't. It wasn't she wasn't
angry with it. She didn't seem like she wanted to
go home early. It was just like, and then I've
got to mark this morning and I'm thinking that's a sign.
So she seemed pleasant and yet pain. So normally it's
(13:21):
grumpy and pain pleasant to no pain. That was my
first pleasant with pain. So I don't know how to
explain that.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
It was quite clear. When Mike talked about this this morning,
he made it sound like he was donating blood, but
he was just having blood tests, which is a bit different,
potentially not painful sometimes, so fiddle around filling up tubes
and wobble things around. Yeah, when they wouldn't let me
(13:51):
donate because I had high blood pressure, I thought that
was odd. But then one other time I went there
and I donated, and then I left and I started
bleeding out of the hole that they made an arm,
and it spurted all over the the ramp on the way,
and I sort of had to stick my head back
in the door of the blood don't in place and
(14:12):
say I'm spurting. I don't think I'm supposed to be spurting,
And then somebody had to clean up the evidence. So
that's probably why they probably didn't really want me back there,
to be honest, after it, I hope you want me
back here, but not tomorrow. I'm not going to be
in tomorrow, which is lucky because it's likely you aren't either,
(14:34):
But I will see you on Monday. Enjoy your weekend.

Heart and today not more poles? Why have we got
more poles? What is happening? I will mark the week.
That's what's happening. It's Friday, even though it's Thursday. And
(00:50):
if you don't like needles, you won't want to listen
to the end of this podcast. You don't like blood
and needles. But before any of that, Bishop has a

Mike, how does the country based on commodity exports and

I could ask the Spanish and their mad Airbnb rules
the same question. Actually I will Spain three wat what
(10:27):
is it you want? Radio News Radio New Zealand four
looking for people to quit That, sadly, is what you
get when the snake oil Jackson rolls his circus into
town to hand out lolly that can never be real.
Speaking of the media, streaming seven. For the first time ever,
this week's streaming beat Terrestrial and cable can buy next
trick something descent to actually watch Actually Department Q seven
(10:50):
some kind of joke Netflix this weekend if you haven't yet,
gory but worth it? The world four.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
And it's really a shame, so stupid, It's so stupid.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
It's a mess, isn't it? This time last week you
had another war started and where traditionally we have a
country and a leader that rises to the occasion. Sadly
these days know so like too busy launching his gold phone.
And that's the week. Copies on the website and the
board met yesterday, by the way to reject this week's
takeover offer. We stay under local control.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Pretty proud of that mark of the week today. Just quietly,
I'm thinking we should move it to Thursday every week.
Proud of two things that mark the week today and
also playing part of the after Shades scene from Anchorman
later on, you had to be there for re wrap.
(11:38):
Let's finish up with a better gore. Well, blood and needles.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Anyway, Mike, I was just telling my wife the same
thing yesterday after donating blood. I usually rave about the service,
but I was wondering if that up the needle gauge,
because it really hurt. Can you up a needle gauge?
I suppose you can for the flow. I don't know. Anyway,
The point was yesterday had to go down for the
blood and you always go. And first of all, yesterday
something's happened to the blood service because Kadie had a
(12:04):
blood test the other day. Nobody there, and that's unheard
of normally, this Q nine hundred miles long, nobody there.
So went in yesterday. I thought, I'll go and if
there's no one there, I'll do it. I might I'll
do it.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
This that procedure where they transfused you with the blood
of a nineteen year old to kick you young.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Same thing, and so there was no one there. And
so anyway, so the next point is the person you
go and they go number three five, Oh, come on,
and so is this a nice person? This is the
first person I want to I'm looking at them and go,
I'm looking for clues of niceness, or I'm looking for
clues of anger or frustration, or a person who's sick
of their job because they've got a needle and it
could hurt, might not. She seemed really pleasant. I thought,
(12:41):
I've got a very pleasant woman here. The other thing,
and this is sort of my problem, is that because
of who I am, I might have said some things
previously that they then go, ah, it's asking excellent.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
So you didn't matter under your breath are you going
home at four o'clock or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Nothing like that. Okay, but I say some stuff about
the hell system that every now and again in the blood,
someone's going to get me eventually. So she seemed nice anyway,
Oh oh yeah, but she didn't. It wasn't she wasn't
angry with it. She didn't seem like she wanted to
go home early. It was just like, and then I've
got to mark this morning and I'm thinking that's a sign.
So she seemed pleasant and yet pain. So normally it's
(13:21):
grumpy and pain pleasant to no pain. That was my
first pleasant with pain. So I don't know how to
explain that.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
It was quite clear. When Mike talked about this this morning,
he made it sound like he was donating blood, but
he was just having blood tests, which is a bit different,
potentially not painful sometimes, so fiddle around filling up tubes
and wobble things around. Yeah, when they wouldn't let me
(13:51):
donate because I had high blood pressure, I thought that
was odd. But then one other time I went there
and I donated, and then I left and I started
bleeding out of the hole that they made an arm,
and it spurted all over the the ramp on the way,
and I sort of had to stick my head back
in the door of the blood don't in place and
(14:12):
say I'm spurting. I don't think I'm supposed to be spurting,
And then somebody had to clean up the evidence. So
that's probably why they probably didn't really want me back there,
to be honest, after it, I hope you want me
back here, but not tomorrow. I'm not going to be
in tomorrow, which is lucky because it's likely you aren't either,
(14:34):
But I will see you on Monday. Enjoy your weekend.
