Used Talk said, be you Talk.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean for Tuesday.
First of yesterday's news, I'm Glenn Hart. We're looking back
at Monday and workforce security. I hadn't heard that term
before yesterday, but it was all we were all up
at arms about whether young people just want to go
to work and if they don't know who is going
to work yesterday TMOS both football and rugby got a
(00:49):
bit of attention over the weekend. Ryan wants to be
rid of them and the Portogy muscle farm that has
caught Andrew Dickens's attention. Wow, I had the Matt Nippett
story and the Herald that caught his attention, and then
Marsel's Court Matt Mefod's attention. I think that's what happened
(01:10):
then before any of that, Ah sam Neyla.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
It was just announced on the radio. As I was
coming into town tonight, I was trying to explain to
the kids to about Jurassic Park, but very mindful of
me was probably the earlier movies and maybe some of
the movies that want when the big movies of his.
The one I remember particularly fondly was Deathan Brunswick, which
is kind of a nice gentle line and I don't remember.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Too much about it.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
It was a nice gentle Australian movie. Nineteen ninety was
John Clark fred Dagg, very good and also too, let's
not forget Sleeping Dog's tremendous movie and a remarkable acting
performance in that. I guess in some ways that was
probably his first big acting Well.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
That's a great, great, great film.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
I was just thinking about that the other day actually,
and then it was surprising to hear that today too,
So that is, yeah, that is the the shop news
today and seems to be headline news all around the world.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
I think one of.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
The things that made Sammuel such an esteemed actor and
a successful actor was this ability to play good guys
and bad guys. You know, Event Horizon, Dead, Calm, Speaky Blinders.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
Very very bad guys. And yet you know his character
and you know Jurassic Park and many other.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Movies lovely, So he could be lovely and he could
be nasty. It's clever, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
News talk has it been right.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Young people so useless that we're literally not going to
have anybody to do the work that needs doing.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Is that what's going to happen.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Over the weekend on a weekend off. They were personable,
they were check, they were welcoming, they were hard working.
These were not kids who hold themselves up in bedrooms
and never came out till over twenty two.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
You know.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
They were young, bright, gorgeous kids who were happening to
give up a holiday weekend to earn a bit of
extra dosh, saving towards something they wanted. And I see
that locally as well, in our local New World. You've
got gorgeous young people working there while also studying, while
also doing well at school, while also training for sports teams.
(03:41):
You've got young people working at farmers in the malls
of a weekend. I don't think it's young people either.
I think it's either and I'd be really interested to
hear if you were one of these who was a
small business owner. It's either that New Zealand Boat Batch
(04:02):
BMW mentality where you work until you've got enough to
have a nice life. And I've heard it before from
from business owners over the years. I don't want to
work harder. I've got exactly what I need to have
a nice life. I could be bigger, my business could grow,
I could take on more staff. I don't want to.
(04:23):
I don't want to be more productive because that's just
being measured in economic terms. I am really productive as
a good husband and a good wife and a good parent,
and I get to go on the school camps and
I couldn't do that if I was running a big business.
So this is to all the small and medium business
(04:44):
enterprises out there. Is it the fact that you're working
just as much as you want to, You have no
desire to work any harder or take on any more employees.
Is it the fact that you need to band together
to get the technology, the computer programs that might be expensive,
(05:05):
the capital that might be expensive that you couldn't do
on your own, but you might be able to do
as a team. I just don't think it's the young people.
Everywhere I look there are young people keeping shops, stores,
businesses going over the long weekend. Without them, we'd be stuffed.
(05:26):
And I bet there'd be a hell of a lot
more young people in work if they could get it.
You certainly hear of young people going around and knocking
on doors and wanting to work.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I think there might be a slight timing issue, I
think unfortunately young people of today, I'm not convinced. I mean,
I know Carrie's had good interactions with young people over
the weekend, and yes there are.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
Young people who you have got a clue, but.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
There are a lot who just don't seem to think
that we should.
Speaker 7 (05:53):
Be working eight hours at least five days a week.
I mean, I certainly think that, Unfortunately, I also think
that I like to be able to.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Go out to dinner sometimes and afford nice things.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
You can't.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
They both ken you, unfortunately. But yeah, I do think
that there might be a bit of a timing issue.
You know, the robots. Sure they're taking over. Sure they're
going to be, you know, stealing all our jobs, but
it's not quite happening on a really wide scale just yet.
And yeah, so don't we can't quite give up we're
(06:28):
going to.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Work just yet. Unfortunately.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
I think that's that's what I'm trying to say. Now
we've talked about robots taking over people's jobs. Are they
taking over the referees jobs as well? Dave Rennie had
a bit of a crack at the TMO over the weekend?
Did you see that at the same time a FIFA
semi final ball had a spider cam in the US
and the Norwegians went nuts? Why because the TMO all
(06:52):
the soccer equivalent, didn't do anything about it. Apparently it
should be an automatic drop ball if that was to happen,
and was shown to have happened. Both of these games,
different sports played halfway round the world from each other,
tell you all you need to know about tmos. When
you're up and winning, they're always budding in when they're
not wanted, aren't they. But when it's your team who's
(07:13):
on the back foot and could do with a pesky
technicality to get.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Some points or lose your opponents a few, they come in.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Handy.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
Sport is live, happens quickly, That's why it's exciting. So
the only solution to this problem, which is only really
a problem exactly half the time when your team is losing,
is quite simple. Play. Without it, things will get missed,
penalties go unawarded. Eyesight is not perfect, line of sight
is not perfect either. Games move faster but the results
(07:41):
are less accurate. Or you embrace the technology and the
cameras and the man in the bunker. How one day
it'll probably just be an AI powered and decided thing. Personally,
I'd rather something was quick and dirty than long and accurate,
wouldn't you. There's TMI from the TMO. Mistakes happen. Chances
(08:01):
are they'll happen to everyone equally. We've played sports of
sorts for centuries without the need for cameras and bunkers.
If we can, and if we want, we could just
keep doing that for a few centuries longer.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
The thing with the ball heading the camera cable, You've
just got to play the conditions, don't you. I know,
we used to have a table tennis table in the
garage and if it came off the wall or off
the ceiling, you.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Just had to play it.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
In fact, you could use it to your advantage. I
think if you can kick a soccer ball into a
camera cable deliberately, you should get an advantage from that,
shouldn't I'm not saying they did it lilberately, but if
they could, it'd be amazing.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
News talk ze bean right, what.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
About this or potocky muscle farm mane? What do you
mean you don't know what I'm talking about Andrew was obsessed.
Speaker 8 (08:52):
This was a poster child for the Provincial Growth Fund,
and as it scaled up its business and ambitions, its
consistent losses widened to reach seventeen million annually by last report,
and now forty seven million across it's near decade of existence.
Yet Shane Jones, the Prince of the Provinces, was prepared
to fund this dog while taking credit as the Prince
(09:15):
of the Provinces, saying jobs were being saved and we
were making opportunities.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
No, you weren't.
Speaker 8 (09:21):
We put sixty nine million into a company that only
found fifty four million dollars worth of sale shellfish. That
support from the Provincial Growth Fund and the regional fund
that replaced it is what gets my goat. Under their
coalition agreements with Labor, New Zealand First got three billion
to splash around without much oversight, attracting criticism from the
Order Office. Under the current government, they also have a
(09:43):
fund with a billion in it to spend. But under
the coattails of this National leg government, Shane Jones and
New Zealand First regularly chied us about doing the hard
yards and saying that against wasteful government spending well marked
toward Jones. If you want to see some waste, then
why didn't you take a look at your own office?
Why didn't you have a look at fuckataha muscles and
(10:05):
a potocky that you funded, And why don't you take
a look at the you splash around your slush fun.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
You shouldn't have us muscles out of slush. That's that's
for sure, one of those things. And their muscles where
I like, I'm one of my fifty two fifty threes
or something so old now that I can't quite remember
how old I am, but I've got to this stage
and I still haven't quite decided whether muscles are nice
(10:32):
or not. Like sometimes you have them and you go hey, yeah,
and then sometimes you have them and go, oh no.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
So we're taking the risk.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
We just leave them, probably just lead them have some
normal food instead. I am a green hat with all
your dietary advice you could possibly need, and I'll be
back with more tomorrows. Do you then maybe just leave
the muscles?
