You're listening to a podcast from News Talks EDB follow
this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
The Rewrap Okadadarre and welcome to the Rewrap for Friday.
All the best, but it's from the Mic Hosking Breakfast
on News Talks. It'd be and a sillier package. I
am Glenn Hart and yeah, these are living on attacks
on pages and walkie talkies. It's the more questions than
answers at the moment about this will mark the week,
which always provokes plenty of questions. Virtual signaling is back
(00:48):
and in many ways, and how much the mayors get paid.
But before any of that, the jury trial process, the
questions being asked about that as well. Right now, what I.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Would like out of the Polkinghorn trial is access to
the jury. This country has an archaic and sheltered view
of certain aspects of justice. As far as I'm concerned,
you believe justice has to be seen to be done,
it behooves us to fully understand the process. By the way,
I've had virtually no interest in this trial. I have
no real overarching interest in crime generally. I did get
fascinated many years ago by the baying business. But Polkinghorn
(01:21):
has passed me by. He either did it or he didn't.
Are the juries working that out as we speak. A
change I have noticed in particular this time, and it
confirms my lack of interest in matters makes me part
of a very very very small minority, is the blogging
that has gone on from court from the digital media. See.
A criticism I've always had about media coverage of court
in this country is mainly their cherry pickers and mainly formats,
(01:43):
particularly the news bulletins, never gives fair insight into daily proceedings.
See this time it's been no different. TV seems to
have come and gone on a slow day, they cover
it on a busy day They don't, having been in
court enough over the years. The tricky part is how
slowly it all moves, and therefore it is easy for
the media to miss a lot of detail, not to
mention subtlety and nuance. If you can't cover it properly,
(02:05):
don't is my rule of thumb, which is where the
digital operators have been able to give you all the
blow by blow detail you could ever want, and from
my inquiries it's been absorbed vociferously by most of the population.
But back to the jury in America, you get to
talk to them. Why not here? Surely in a trial
of this detail and interest, knowing what they thought or
didn't think, what they make out is critical or of
(02:28):
no consequence, is not only fascinating but vital to understanding
as to how we got to where we're about to
get open justice, seeing it work, getting the detail from
those closest to it. Surely you can't argue that wouldn't
improve the process, therefore our understanding, And how possibly is
that a bad thing?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
He can't be serious. Nobody wants to go on a
jury anyway. Imagine having to go on a jury and
then being handled by the media if it's a high
profile case. Shit, no wrap, right, So we're very occupied
with the Lebanon explosions over the last couple of days.
(03:06):
It's kind of diabolical. I don't know how genius it is.
Diabolical is how I would describe it. I don't know
if Mike thinks of it as diabolical. You might be
leaning towards the ingenious.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
This exploding business in Lebanon is increasingly fascinating. So now
we've got a Japanese company that made the handheld radio
walkie talkies. The logo that's on these walkie talkies that exploded,
they're now saying, which is interesting. So initially with Pages,
it was Taiwan through Budapeste. The walkie talkies have the
(03:35):
serial number ICV eight two made by Icon, which is
Osaka based. Icon says it hasn't produced or exported any
of these things nor the batteries for ten years, so
they licensed their trademark to a company in Hungary that
was BAC. That was the Pages walkie talkies or the
handhelds produced and exported, including to the Middle East from
(03:58):
October four to October fourteen. They've done nothing since. The
inference now is their knockoffs. They're not the real thing.
But the quest which remains, how did the Israelis, if
it was them, do it? And it's got supply chain implications.
It came from a factory somewhere. Was it done inside
the factory, was it shipped out of the factory, intercepted,
(04:23):
mucked about with and then on scent No one seems
to know.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I mean, these aren't the first communication devices to have
exploding batteries. Of course, go back to twenty sixteen and
the Samsung not seven, Galaxy not seven. Yeah, that was
a bit of a bummer, not quite the same thing.
I don't think. I don't think anybody was accusing Israel
causing that one. You gotta be careful of batteries, don't you.
(04:51):
Rewrap It's mark the week. It's really all you can
do on a Friday, especially at about twenty five past seven.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Time now to make a week little piece of news
and current events that Summing and Butch say, keep them
sane on the long wait to February are the economy
for between the GDP and the account it's a bad
week of data. Upside as you heard with Nicolie, you
could argue it might be the worst of it. It
might mean there are better times ahead. Are the Fed
six where they go, we all go. They think they've
(05:20):
done their job. The post COVID Central Bank angst could
finally be done Glasgow seven Commonwealth games are saved. Poles
six Poles are always fun. Two this week both bad
for labor, good for the government Auckland CBD Sex. The
crime stats are the tangible things that lead to good
polls for the government. Hamilton, Sex to Whoia and Jetstar
(05:50):
now we're talking whining unions. Three this week it was
relieving teachers. Name me the last time Union said something
anything positive. Minerals Sex the release of the critical Minerals
Are that list told us a couple of things. One
We've got lots of them too. We've never done a
list before seen mad Three They're an economic boon. Do
(06:10):
we need an economic boon? Yes we do. Are the
race edct eight? Because doing stuff, handing stuff out based
on nothing more than race is racist. Fed Farmers one
hundred and twenty five. That's a birthday worth celebrating and
(06:35):
our tapot of all the advocacy groups in this country,
I think they could be close to being my favorite.
Hot New Zealand six for their eat local campaign this
week being hard to believe. You need to encourage people
to support local when it comes to fruit and vegetables.
But there you go, you're black. Seven. Australia comes at
just the right time. I reckon what we need off
two losses? Is someone really useless Australia Come on in wait, wait, wait,
(06:57):
Liam Lawson. Nine. If the word is accurate by the
time the weekend is out, we will have our next
full time driver in Formula one pizza Hut four.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I'm not sure, just got stuck there that button. I
was working it out.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
There we go, Okay, I'm not sure what's worse offering
and all you can eat all the fact it's sold
out in minutes. Yuck. That's the week copies on the
website and this has been endorsed by one hundred and
eleven former Republicans as well as Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Terrible trouble with my batons today, And I can't really
blame the buttons and it's just me just in one
of those days you know, you wake up and you
feel like you've broken up the completely wrong stage of
your sleep cycle, and that you're just only half in
the dimension that you're in and you're half in another one.
And I'll try and be fully in the right dimension
next Friday. For next Friday's outcre we can get everything
(07:54):
playing at the right time.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
The rewrap it all.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Right, good old virtues signaling. You can always rely on
Mike Hosking to point some of this out, and he
had plenty on his plate this morning.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Here's my other working theory at the moment. It came
out of a really interesting article I read not on stuff.
Funnily enough, it was in Sydney Morning Herald. The Climate
Council in Australia had a look at who's got solar
on their roof. Now you're supposed to have solar on
your roof so you can save the world, which of
course is crap because people and say they want to
solve the world, they won't actually do anything to solve
(08:24):
the world. Hence we haven't solved the world. What you'll
put solar on your roof for is to save money.
So who would be more likely to be wanting to
save money? Answer? People without money. So what they've found
is rooftop solar is on less than twenty percent of
detached and semi detached homes and inner ring suburbs in
other words, wealthy suburbs, and its way higher in the
(08:45):
outer suburbs. The higher the household income in a post
code area, the less likely they were to have solar.
Why because quote unquote rich families don't need to save money.
And the reason I got involved with that is because
I read the latest Earlier on this week, I mentioned
the new stake that's coming from about meat or what
are they called meatless meat? About meat whatever they're called.
(09:05):
Beyond Yeah, Beyond Meat. There's a company in San Francisco,
no less, called a Tomo, which is about to launch
the beanless coffee. And the problem with beanless coffee is
it doesn't taste like coffee, and so they argue, and
so Beyond Meat people are now arguing, having failed the
first time around, they're now arguing, it's good for your health.
So forget the climate because that one failed on them.
(09:25):
Now they're arguing it's good for your health. The beanless
coffee people haven't worked out the argument about saving the
planet doesn't work. So they go, here's some beanless coffee,
and you go, it doesn't taste like coffee, and they go,
but don't worry, you can save the planets. So that's
not going to work. And there's a photo. Look it up.
It's actually well worth. A new beanless coffee emerges, But
(09:46):
does it taste any good? The woman selling you has
the sort of fringe you would expect a person who's
selling you beanless coffee to have.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Well, you know, don't knock it to you. Try it
and it might end up being like, you know, some
of the meatless meat that I was discussing the other day.
You're not necessarily buying it because you want it to
taste like meat. You might be buying it because you'd
rather it wasn't meat. And it might be the same
with coffee. Some people don't like coffee. Maybe the I
would like a different drink that isn't coffee but still
gives you a three wrap. I tend to agree it
(10:15):
sounds terrible, but it might not be. I'm willing to
give it a go. I'll try anything once. Now we're
going to finish up finding out how much MIAs get
paid and are they worth it.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
So I'm reading yesterday's stuff, and who doesn't like reading
stuff when they're board? So anyway, they've got this interview
with Tory Farnow yesterday, which they claim is an exclusive,
So I'm thinking, are you serious? You guys? So they're
claiming it's an exclusive, and they're upset because in this
exclusive she doesn't want to talk about the sale of
(10:47):
her car and making ends meat, and I'm thinking, well,
why would they be asking her about that?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Maybe that's what made it exclusive. She's you know.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Oh, I see what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
So sorry, this is the only interview where those things
aren't brought up.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
That's right, So my apologies. I thought, how would she
be why would they be asking about that? Well, that's
because she talked to Nick two days earlier in what
I can only assume was another exclusive. So a whole
week full of exclusives all over the place for the media.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Yeah, which one's more exclusive? Which one more information in it?
Or the one with not all the information in it?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
How many interviews do you need to give in a
week before it's not exclusive? Now? Anyway, here's the point.
So Wayne Brown obviously earns more than anybody else three
hundred and six thousand, or if you want to be precise,
three hundred and six thousand, nine hundred and fifty two dollars.
Philm Major in christ Church two O seven comes second,
or two O seven four hundred. Tory on one ninety
(11:41):
is right up there. Hamilton Paula, she's earning one eighty seven.
Chathams is the cheapest. Monique is on fifty nine thousand,
five hundred and thirty two. Kaikoura Craigie in Old kai
Kurra eighty nine thousand, I reckon eighty nine. He was
close to being one. I reckon eighty nine and kai Kura,
I mean crayfish being what they are, I understand the
problem there, But apart from that's fairly cheap living in Kaikura,
(12:01):
cartend and Ron one o four. Why Matty Craig one
o eight. Westland Mayor Helen is on one o nine,
So your winner, I would have thought everyone else, by
the way, earns between one eleven and one eighty six.
First of all, there are too many mayors, let's just
say that for a start. So when you add up
all the eighties, nineties, hundreds, two hundreds and three hundreds,
that's hundreds of millions of dollars or tens of millions.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
How many sets of beach steps you could buw.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Many receips exactly precisely. But I reckon the best being
for buck Meir's job in the country is Westland Mayor
Helen lash At one hundred, nine thousand and sixty five.
I reckon if you're earning one hundred nine thousand dollars
living in Westland, your quids in see three hundred sounds
like a lot of money in Auckland for many it is.
I get that. Don't go crazy on me, But living
(12:48):
in Auckland's expensive. Living in christ Church is expensive. Any
major city is expensive. I mean in Wellington. Have you
seen the price of living in Wellington? Next thing, you know,
you've got a earlier car for God's sake?
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Have you got old Ben Bell down? And Gore?
Speaker 3 (12:59):
There very good question. No, they didn't do Ben Bell,
but he will be between one eleven. That's a very
good point. Actually, if I'd known what Ben's actual salary
is could be close Gore Gore, he'd be on a
one hundred and what one twelve? One hundred and twelve
and Gore? I mean that bends rolling.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yeah, but I mean it has been a complicated role,
has it.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Some of that's on him to be fair. But so
if you keep it simple and you're on one hundred
and ten Ish Westland or Gore, I reckon you. Quinson,
What do you think?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Mind you, when you divide it up into meetings, you
think about how much that is per meeting. You'd think
about how many meetings and mayor has to go to.
And I've always said, you can't pay me enough to
go to meetings, so really not bad value. I am
somebody's going to go to those meetings, and I don't
(13:51):
want it to be me. I am Gillian Hart. Let's
meet back here again, this time on Monday.

Philm Major in christ Church two O seven comes second,
or two O seven four hundred. Tory on one ninety
(11:41):
is right up there. Hamilton Paula, she's earning one eighty seven.
Chathams is the cheapest. Monique is on fifty nine thousand,
five hundred and thirty two. Kaikoura Craigie in Old kai
Kurra eighty nine thousand, I reckon eighty nine. He was
close to being one. I reckon eighty nine and kai Kura,
I mean crayfish being what they are, I understand the
problem there, But apart from that's fairly cheap living in Kaikura,
(12:01):
cartend and Ron one o four. Why Matty Craig one
o eight. Westland Mayor Helen is on one o nine,
So your winner, I would have thought everyone else, by
the way, earns between one eleven and one eighty six.
First of all, there are too many mayors, let's just
say that for a start. So when you add up
all the eighties, nineties, hundreds, two hundreds and three hundreds,
that's hundreds of millions of dollars or tens of millions.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
How many sets of beach steps you could buw.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Many receips exactly precisely. But I reckon the best being
for buck Meir's job in the country is Westland Mayor
Helen lash At one hundred, nine thousand and sixty five.
I reckon if you're earning one hundred nine thousand dollars
living in Westland, your quids in see three hundred sounds
like a lot of money in Auckland for many it is.
I get that. Don't go crazy on me, But living
(12:48):
in Auckland's expensive. Living in christ Church is expensive. Any
major city is expensive. I mean in Wellington. Have you
seen the price of living in Wellington? Next thing, you know,
you've got a earlier car for God's sake?
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Have you got old Ben Bell down? And Gore?
Speaker 3 (12:59):
There very good question. No, they didn't do Ben Bell,
but he will be between one eleven. That's a very
good point. Actually, if I'd known what Ben's actual salary
is could be close Gore Gore, he'd be on a
one hundred and what one twelve? One hundred and twelve
and Gore? I mean that bends rolling.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yeah, but I mean it has been a complicated role,
has it.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Some of that's on him to be fair. But so
if you keep it simple and you're on one hundred
and ten Ish Westland or Gore, I reckon you. Quinson,
What do you think?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Mind you, when you divide it up into meetings, you
think about how much that is per meeting. You'd think
about how many meetings and mayor has to go to.
And I've always said, you can't pay me enough to
go to meetings, so really not bad value. I am
somebody's going to go to those meetings, and I don't
(13:51):
want it to be me. I am Gillian Hart. Let's
meet back here again, this time on Monday.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
I will see that for more from news Talks that'd
be and live on air or online. And keep our
shows with you wherever you go with our podcasts on

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
