You're listening to a podcast from Newstalk sed B. Follow
this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio
rerap O.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Good there, and welcome to the Rewrap. For Monday, all
the best bets from the Mike Hosking Breakfast on Newstalk
s ed B. In a sillier package, I am being
heart hither as your host for the final week of
for Mike hosting Breadfist and she Loves Erica Stanford will
find out why shortly judges and the perks they get
(00:46):
do they deserve them or not? Prince Andrew, yes, the
canceled Prince. He's getting canceled even further. And we've got
some quotes of the year for you. But before any
of that, Wellington, Yay, there's a group that really wants
to fix it, but will they be allowed to.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
You'll know you don't need me to tell you this.
Wellington's a shambles. It's in trouble. A lot of that
is caused by its own dysfunctional and ineq city council
making really really bad decisions. And there are a whole
group of people out there, and I include myself in this,
who find it sad to watch this because Wellington was
and can be again a really great place. It just
isn't at the minute. Some of the people who are
(01:22):
watching this and not just watching it and thinking how
sad it does, they actually want to do something about it.
And this includes former mayor's fran Wild, Kerry prene Degas,
the restaurant owner Mike Egan, our very own Frano Sullivan,
and the list goes on. Right, They've probably got better
things to do with their lives, but they've decided they're
going to give up their time. They're going to sit
up this set up this group called Vision for Wellington,
and they're going to lobby for Wellington. They're gonna try
(01:43):
to come up with ideas to try and improve the city. Now,
what do you think they've got for their efforts. What
they've got is a series of attacks from people who
are actually on the City Council trying to paint them
as right wing conspiracy theorists. Now, on the conspiracy theory part,
I can't. I don't know if any of them are
conspiracy theorists or not, but I do know that to
portray them as a bunch of right wingers trying to
(02:05):
take down the country's left wing post to child Council
is deeply unfair on a lot of them. I mean, take,
for example, fran wild Right, hardly a wild right winger.
I mean, the woman was a cabinet member of the
Labour Party, for God's sake. She was so progressive even
by Labour Party standards of the day, that she had
to fight her own party to get them to support
her homosexual reform bill back in the nineteen eighties. Dame
(02:26):
Patsy Ready, I don't know her personally, but she strikes
me as the kind of person a lot of people
would label the wokester. She backed a proposal to overhaul
the ns at our board and put racial and gender
quotas on it. So hard did she back this that
she threatened to resign if it didn't happen. Now, somebody
backing race and gender quotas does not strike me as
a wild right winger, does it you? Frankly, the fact
(02:48):
that these are the kinds of attacks that these people
are being subjected to just goes to show that critics
have actually got nothing better to criticize. These people. Over Wellington,
I would say, is actually lucky to have luminaries like
these who care enough to give up their time to
try to help the city out, and I would say,
rather than attacking them, Wellington City Council should be grateful
for the help from people who are frankly more capable.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
It's another one of these examples of the people who
want to be on councils perhaps shouldn't be the people
you should put on councils because that's what they and
they just want to be in charge and they're not
interested in other people having good ideas about things. That's tricky.
If only there was a way, I don't know that
we could just get rid of all the councils and
(03:31):
get on with our lives. So we wrap right, we're
going to keep it political, but we're moving from council
politics to national politics, particularly the National Party and Erica Stanford,
who is Hither's favorite MP of the year. We'll find
out why.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Right.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
It's this time of the year where it's traditional for
the political commentators to pick the person that they think
has done the best out of politics. And interestingly I
saw the weekend this past weekend the Herald went for
Simeon Brown. Now I agree Simeon Brown's right up there.
I mean there is a reason he's called golden balls,
apparently by his caucus colleagues. But I don't think Simeon
is the one. I think the honor has to go
to Erica Stanford this year, and as far as I'm concerned,
(04:06):
it's not even a competition all the way, No disrespect
to Simeon, because Simeon is fixing up a bunch of
stuff that really really desperately needs fixing up, like speed
limits and the potholes, and Wellington City Council and the
speed bumps and Transpower not wanting to tell us that
they called the pilot the nuts out of the pilot,
et cetera, et cetera. And he's done it without causing
days of drama, do you know what I mean? He's
pretty decisive, really makes mistakes, He's just he tidies it
(04:29):
up and you get the impression he's absolutely not taking
any bs from the public officials behind the scenes. But
this is pretty regular running government type stuff right. Erica Stanford, though,
has done something really special this year, which is that
she's banned the phones in schools. Now. I don't blame
you if you think, well, that's not even a thing.
(04:50):
Sounds a bit silly. Right. It's going to sound silly
to some people as a reason for picking her as
the politician of the Year, but that will only be
if you do not understand how distracting and addictive these
phones are in school time, and how much they were
hurting kids grades, how much they were hurting kids' social skills,
and how much they were hurting kid's ability to just
be kids at school like we were. Do you remember
(05:10):
the thing is? Do you remember before she did it,
we ridiculed her for it, right, and we said it's
not going to work. Now, go and find me a
teacher who doesn't think it's a wild success. This is
so important what she's done that international experts who study
the impact of phones on kids say this is about
one of four things that have to be done by
countries to help kids out. And she's done it. She
didn't have to be begged, didn't have to be cajoled
(05:31):
and to do it, and she just did it. Watch
the impact this is going to have on a generation
of kids. As far as I'm concerned, no politician has
made a call this significant for a group of people
who are this important all year. Kids are the most important,
So never mind any of the other stuff that she's done,
like the State Abuse inquiry, and she's done pretty well there.
Phone ban alone makes her I reckon the MVP of
twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
And so anyway, then I said to either off here,
you didn't mention the bassoon, because of course she's famous
for playing the bassoon from Parliament. Look it up and
Heather looked at me as though she didn't even know
what a bassoon was, and then claiming that only five
people would be interested in the Pso soon, I'm working
with a philistine rewrap. Right, we've found out what district
(06:15):
court judges yet, apart from their pay, do they deserve
these perks so called perks?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Let's see what you think, right Ego, here we go
the perks the district court judges get while they're in
the job. Now, this came out at the weekend, and
the fact that it came out is kind of a
little Well, came out just before Christmas, didn't it because
they don't want us to focus on it too much.
The old trick, isn't it. Media have been fighting eighteen
months to get their hands on this book of perks.
It's called the Red Book. The Judiciary obviously didn't want
(06:48):
to reveal it. Now I've looked at it, I thought,
this is why were you being so weird about it?
It's not that bad. So the context is we've got
one hundred and seventy district court judges, we've got ten
environment court judges. And look, these guys are on a
pretty good wicket on about three hundred and seventy k
and they've got a really good pension system. But as
I say, the perks of the job seem pretty par
for the course for me. Right. If they have to
move for the job, which generally most of them will
(07:10):
have to, they get a bunch of help to move towns.
So they get new carpets and new curtains if they're
renting I suppose, or moving, get a rental subsidy while
they look for a house. Get refund of legal bills
related to moving house, like the cost of the valuation
of their house, realist that agent fees for selling their house,
realist that agent fees reimbursed for buying the new house,
furniture moving, furniture storage. They get the installation of a
(07:31):
telephone paid for Hello nineteen eighty four, cool, get school
uniforms for the kids paid for. They get travel expenses
and meals and accommodation included for up to three months
if they haven't been able to find a house. They
also get a thousand dollars advance if they're short on cash,
which I really doubt that they are on that kind
of a money, but anyway, they have to pay that back.
If they do take that. They get their gowns for free,
(07:53):
you know, their dress up garb, which I think is
fair enough. That's like if you work on the side
of the road, you get yourself a high Ver's vest
for free. Shouldn't have to pay for that. Get a
cell phone, get some money towards the cost of installing
Wi Fi at the house, get a pretty m blah
blah blah. Probably what are the more controversial things I
would imagine is that when they have to go away
for work, so let's say they're based now in Timaru,
I don't know, and they have to go to Southland
(08:15):
for whatever reason, they get a per diem for going
there and get a daily expense And if they are
away for more than two days, and you know, you
can't be away from our missus for more than two days,
then the Misses gets flown out and she also gets
per diem. They get business travel if they are more
than four hours membership of the CARU club seven weeks
and you'll leave. I don't think it's that controversial. I
think the dumbest stuff are things like three hundred dollars
(08:39):
for glasses or contact lenses and an annual medical which
they could probably pay for.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
But the reason justice was supposed to be blind, the
reason licensed to tell Dan jokes, I've got two licenses.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
You are you are more than welcome to because why not.
It's the end of the year. You've got to remember
these guys were working for outfits like Bell Gully and stuff, right,
so that you've got to entice them over with a
decent packaging.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yeah, I don't think we can criticize judges for getting
glasses paid for, because I'm pretty sure we do that
here in this We used to anyway. I don't know
if it was the whole it was the eye exam
and whatever, the cheapest pair of glasses you could get
or something something like that. But yeah, and I think
a lot of companies that use computer monitors, if that's
(09:22):
a big part of your job, you do get a
subsidy for that because you basically it's basically it's like
danger money because your eyes. We've broken your eyes, so
now we're going to pay for it. And judges, you know,
they've got to give people are like a withering steer.
They pulled their glasses down to the bottom of their
nose and then give them a withering steer over the top.
(09:44):
So you can't do that unless you've actually got glasses.
Of course, rewrap one day, oh, one day, wouldn't it
be great if a judge pulled their glasses down to
the end of their nose and gave Prince Andrew a
withering steer?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
What the hell is going on with this guy? So
apparently the latest thing with Prince Andrews this has been
a huge development in the UK of the weekend. He
apparently got befriended by a Chinese spy and the chap
is now and from the UK, such as the UK
Government's I suppose certainty that he is a Chinese bye anyway. Regardless,
(10:17):
as a result of that, Andrew might miss out on
the annual walk to Church and Sandringham this year. Now
for most of us obviously, being banned from going with
your family to church would probably misbehave in order to
get that, but that, for him is a really bad
thing because he needs to be seen with the Royals
to kind of justify his ongoing existence. But anyway, the
thing is, why are we even still fluffing around with Andrew?
(10:37):
Why doesn't Charles just kick him out of Royal Lodge,
ban him from anything to do with the family, and
just make him persona non grata because clearly he cannot
learn from his mistakes and he will continue to be
a massive liability.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
H I ah ban him. I thought I was worried
there for a moment. You wanted a big guy with
an ax to come along in a black hood, yeah,
shopping block.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Well, you know back in the old days, those aren't
available options for us anymore. We just have to kick
him out of the church walk.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Can you still be a failed son if you don't
have a mother anymore or a father? Because I feel
like he is the fale son of the royal family.
He's the one that everybody would rather not be there
and wishes that he would just stop doing embarrassing things
and just go away. I mean, Harry's obviously a close
(11:23):
contender for that, and he is still a son. But
do you remain a son even if your parents are dead?
Interesting question? Where is it? The re wrap could be
my quote of the year that although I don't think
I made.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
The list, so we got the finalists this time of year,
isn't it finalists for quote of the year?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Is that.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
From Massi University. I'm going to go straight to quote
number two. Let's be clear. You know, I'm wealthy, I'm sultan.
I don't want to brag, but I was there when
he said that, Like, I was literally here. I was here,
and he was there in that chair and he said it.
And I'll be completely honest, you didn't even strike me
as a big dealer. He said it, and I was like, ye,
(12:05):
in fact, you are wealthy, you are sorted. Everybody else
flipped their lips about it, and it kind of took
me by surprise. But anyway, he's in there. He's in
there with that quote, which has kind of got something
to do with me, so I like it. Ruby Tooh,
he's in there for chatting to King Charles at Buckingham Palace.
You got a love room out they have like three
rugby here. Two. It's okay. I think the better one
(12:27):
was when she first met him and the first words
she says to the king of her country because he
is cheers mate, sup g how are yea? I think
that one should be there anyway. In a similar vein
after they gave him that big hug, there was a
quote from one of ruby Tooy's teammates and I felt
like he needed the hug, and I think we all
felt like he needed the hug because we all saw
(12:48):
how bad he was looking after the cancer treatment. Heaps
of the quotes this year, I'm disappointed and I feel
like they're just rubbish. There was the cockatoo at the
Portadoo police station. There was the Olympian complaining about his
mattress at the village. But I've been sleeping him all
There was the Crown solicitor after Polkinghorn got the not
guilty heard it.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Is it a difficult case for me?
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I think it was a difficult case for everybody. It
wasn't a difficult case for the hook who didn't show
up anyway. David Seymour on why we shouldn't ban Nazi
symbols and salutes.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I hate those symbols and salutes, but I quite like
knowing who the idiots and society are.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
I mean, fair call, but it's just like just a call,
isn't It's not that big a deal. But here's the
one I reckon should win. This is my one. This
is my pick for the best quote of the year.
Jerry Brownlee just giving up when he saw the Malory
party getting up to do the hooker. Ha did you
hear it? He goes, don't do that, don't do that,
(13:50):
and the look on his face, you got to see
it with the face as well, He's just like, oh,
don't do that. You know, It's like he's like the
mum of a three year old who's just watched the
three year old tap out the toys out of the
little toy bag like seven hundred times today and you've
cleaned them up every single time, and he does it again,
and you go on, just don't don't do that. You're
just like ah, and you know, you know, his energy
(14:12):
level is flatlining at that point. He just can't be bothered.
He just he doesn't want them to do it. But
because it's so much ADMIN, so much ADMIN. After they
do the hacker, but he can't stop them, and all
he can do is go Jerry Brownie. However, even though look,
I'm going to go self interest here, even though Jerry
is obviously no, don't do that the Quote of the Year.
(14:33):
If you go and vote for Luxen, I'll pay you
some money because then I get something out of it,
because then I can claim credit even though I did
nothing and didn't even realize it was a big deal.
I'm going to pretend I did.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Wait, what, so we're voting for the Quote of the Year,
is it? What's happening? A lot of weird stuff goes
on in the world these days, and I'm bringing it
to you here in this podcast. I'm Glen Hart. That
was the rerap, and I'll bring you some more weird
stuff tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (14:57):

can't be away from our missus for more than two days,
then the Misses gets flown out and she also gets
per diem. They get business travel if they are more
than four hours membership of the CARU club seven weeks
and you'll leave. I don't think it's that controversial. I
think the dumbest stuff are things like three hundred dollars
(08:39):
for glasses or contact lenses and an annual medical which
they could probably pay for.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
But the reason justice was supposed to be blind, the
reason licensed to tell Dan jokes, I've got two licenses.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
You are you are more than welcome to because why not.
It's the end of the year. You've got to remember
these guys were working for outfits like Bell Gully and stuff, right,
so that you've got to entice them over with a
decent packaging.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yeah, I don't think we can criticize judges for getting
glasses paid for, because I'm pretty sure we do that
here in this We used to anyway. I don't know
if it was the whole it was the eye exam
and whatever, the cheapest pair of glasses you could get
or something something like that. But yeah, and I think
a lot of companies that use computer monitors, if that's
(09:22):
a big part of your job, you do get a
subsidy for that because you basically it's basically it's like
danger money because your eyes. We've broken your eyes, so
now we're going to pay for it. And judges, you know,
they've got to give people are like a withering steer.
They pulled their glasses down to the bottom of their
nose and then give them a withering steer over the top.
(09:44):
So you can't do that unless you've actually got glasses.
Of course, rewrap one day, oh, one day, wouldn't it
be great if a judge pulled their glasses down to
the end of their nose and gave Prince Andrew a
withering steer?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
What the hell is going on with this guy? So
apparently the latest thing with Prince Andrews this has been
a huge development in the UK of the weekend. He
apparently got befriended by a Chinese spy and the chap
is now and from the UK, such as the UK
Government's I suppose certainty that he is a Chinese bye anyway. Regardless,
(10:17):
as a result of that, Andrew might miss out on
the annual walk to Church and Sandringham this year. Now
for most of us obviously, being banned from going with
your family to church would probably misbehave in order to
get that, but that, for him is a really bad
thing because he needs to be seen with the Royals
to kind of justify his ongoing existence. But anyway, the
thing is, why are we even still fluffing around with Andrew?
(10:37):
Why doesn't Charles just kick him out of Royal Lodge,
ban him from anything to do with the family, and
just make him persona non grata because clearly he cannot
learn from his mistakes and he will continue to be
a massive liability.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
H I ah ban him. I thought I was worried
there for a moment. You wanted a big guy with
an ax to come along in a black hood, yeah,
shopping block.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Well, you know back in the old days, those aren't
available options for us anymore. We just have to kick
him out of the church walk.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Can you still be a failed son if you don't
have a mother anymore or a father? Because I feel
like he is the fale son of the royal family.
He's the one that everybody would rather not be there
and wishes that he would just stop doing embarrassing things
and just go away. I mean, Harry's obviously a close
(11:23):
contender for that, and he is still a son. But
do you remain a son even if your parents are dead?
Interesting question? Where is it? The re wrap could be
my quote of the year that although I don't think
I made.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
The list, so we got the finalists this time of year,
isn't it finalists for quote of the year?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Is that.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
From Massi University. I'm going to go straight to quote
number two. Let's be clear. You know, I'm wealthy, I'm sultan.
I don't want to brag, but I was there when
he said that, Like, I was literally here. I was here,
and he was there in that chair and he said it.
And I'll be completely honest, you didn't even strike me
as a big dealer. He said it, and I was like, ye,
(12:05):
in fact, you are wealthy, you are sorted. Everybody else
flipped their lips about it, and it kind of took
me by surprise. But anyway, he's in there. He's in
there with that quote, which has kind of got something
to do with me, so I like it. Ruby Tooh,
he's in there for chatting to King Charles at Buckingham Palace.
You got a love room out they have like three
rugby here. Two. It's okay. I think the better one
(12:27):
was when she first met him and the first words
she says to the king of her country because he
is cheers mate, sup g how are yea? I think
that one should be there anyway. In a similar vein
after they gave him that big hug, there was a
quote from one of ruby Tooy's teammates and I felt
like he needed the hug, and I think we all
felt like he needed the hug because we all saw
(12:48):
how bad he was looking after the cancer treatment. Heaps
of the quotes this year, I'm disappointed and I feel
like they're just rubbish. There was the cockatoo at the
Portadoo police station. There was the Olympian complaining about his
mattress at the village. But I've been sleeping him all
There was the Crown solicitor after Polkinghorn got the not
guilty heard it.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Is it a difficult case for me?
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I think it was a difficult case for everybody. It
wasn't a difficult case for the hook who didn't show
up anyway. David Seymour on why we shouldn't ban Nazi
symbols and salutes.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I hate those symbols and salutes, but I quite like
knowing who the idiots and society are.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
I mean, fair call, but it's just like just a call,
isn't It's not that big a deal. But here's the
one I reckon should win. This is my one. This
is my pick for the best quote of the year.
Jerry Brownlee just giving up when he saw the Malory
party getting up to do the hooker. Ha did you
hear it? He goes, don't do that, don't do that,
(13:50):
and the look on his face, you got to see
it with the face as well, He's just like, oh,
don't do that. You know, It's like he's like the
mum of a three year old who's just watched the
three year old tap out the toys out of the
little toy bag like seven hundred times today and you've
cleaned them up every single time, and he does it again,
and you go on, just don't don't do that. You're
just like ah, and you know, you know, his energy
(14:12):
level is flatlining at that point. He just can't be bothered.
He just he doesn't want them to do it. But
because it's so much ADMIN, so much ADMIN. After they
do the hacker, but he can't stop them, and all
he can do is go Jerry Brownie. However, even though look,
I'm going to go self interest here, even though Jerry
is obviously no, don't do that the Quote of the Year.
(14:33):
If you go and vote for Luxen, I'll pay you
some money because then I get something out of it,
because then I can claim credit even though I did
nothing and didn't even realize it was a big deal.
I'm going to pretend I did.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Wait, what, so we're voting for the Quote of the Year,
is it? What's happening? A lot of weird stuff goes
on in the world these days, and I'm bringing it
to you here in this podcast. I'm Glen Hart. That
was the rerap, and I'll bring you some more weird
stuff tomorrow.
