Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean for Friday.
First with yesterday's news, I am Glen Hart, and we
are looking back at Thursday. So we've got an infrastructure
plan in place. It seems a little bit more convoluted
and not quite as fast treky as we thought it
was going to be, but lands a plan. I suppose
(00:45):
what's the most embarrassing thing your kids ever done to
you in public? And a terrible, terrible story from Marcus.
Something happened in his car. I don't know how he
survived it. So we'll get to that story at the
end of the podcast that'll keep you listening. But before
any of that, So the Green Party and disarray, and
(01:05):
it's all Darlene Tanner's fault.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
This woman's got more gumption than any of us thought.
Who knows where it goes from here, because this is
clearly not the end. I mean, from where I'm sitting,
it looks like there's a couple more rounds to come.
Are they going to go to court in two weeks again,
that's another round. And then when they finally decide whenever
that is, to try to kick Darlene out of Parliament,
that's going to be another round. They're going to have
to fight. And frankly, given what she's pulled out already,
(01:28):
they must be dreading what she's going to do next.
And you know what I know this is. I know
I'm running against the grain on this one, but I
actually think good on her because I'm enjoying making watching
her make them squirm. I mean, don't get me wrong.
This is not to say I'm on Darlene's side. I'm not.
She's weird. But the Greens deserve this. They chose her.
They were very very happy to have Darlene on their
list for the election. A she was a nice, married
(01:50):
Maori lady from Auckland Central who owned a small business.
What that meant is that some nice people in Auckland
Central who have money and small businesses would look at
her and identify with her. She would make the Greens
okay for them and they would vote for the Greens.
Awful Darlene, because Darline's on the list and Darlene's a
nice lady. Well happy to have her then didn't do
(02:11):
the checks obviously on her, like they didn't do on
any of the other Green MP's who since gone rogue.
So they've got to live with their choices, and they've
got to live with the big old fight that one
of their choices is bringing to them.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
It's always tricky, isn't it when somebody goes rogue like this?
Sometimes it's just fascinates me what the motivation is. It's
a bit like the woman who is in charge of
the Secret Service when they should have stopped that guy
from shooting at Trump, and she just didn't resign and
(02:43):
didn't resign and didn't resign until she eventually, you know,
there was really no other choice. But why didn't she
just resign right at the beginning? So everybody a lot
of trouble. It's weird, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
News Talk Zeth Bean.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Anyway, Ryan wants to say on this situation as well.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
She's made mistakes, sure, though not proven in a court
of law. Just a party report at this stage, a
party with white privileged elites at the top of it,
including Close Swarbrook, a party with resources, a power and balance.
Her actions may have resulted from structural racism for all
(03:19):
we know, this is how the Greens generally approach issues
like this. And what does Chloe and co. Do to
this victim? What do they do? They boot her out
on the street. Don't let the door hit you on
the way out. Despite Chloe saying this.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
We are being careful about the statements that we are
making publicly.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
We have continued to follow process as best as we
possibly can to center our Green Party co pepper Green
Party co pepper. If this is the co Peppa of
the Green Party, I don't recognize it. Number one, it
doesn't sound very greeny and doesn't sound very in line
with how they approach other victims. And number two, and
(04:02):
this is the kicker for us. I think we're on
the hook for the legal bills here, aren't we.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
And it's like those, yeah, those people who do go rogue.
I suppose when it happens in like real life, like
not in politics, but in the real world, you can
understand why people get a bit better and twisted about
things and hang on for dear life because you know
it's their job at the end of the day, and
otherwise they're going to have to go and find another job.
And I guess we think, well, if you're an MP,
(04:30):
surely you've got the skills and qualifications to just go
and do something else and stop bothering us. But I
don't know, maybe she doesn't. Certainly a mystery. It's fun
for the rest of us to watch, right, infrastructure, some
(04:50):
things have been put off, reprioritized. This isn't quite as
good as what we'd hope the shines really standard. We're
off this kick asspastrack government, isn't it a little bit?
Speaker 5 (05:03):
We've got groups that will sift through all the infrastructure projects,
they prioritize them, present them to government. Surely, if you
allow Labor says the biggest opposition party, to have some
representatives on the Infrastructure Reference Group, you leave it to
(05:27):
an independent panel to say this is the most important.
We need to get cracking on this one first. Otherwise
you do get the voice who shrieks loudest. We'll get
the most money. We don't want pork barrel politics where
you buy votes by getting infrastructure projects put into your electorate.
(05:49):
We don't want that.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
We want.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Massive infrastructure projects that are going to take years to build,
to be assessed in order of importance, and for them
to be started not today but yesterday, and for them
not to full victim to the three year parliamentary cycle.
It's too expensive and too important.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yes, I mean, it's the sort of the first I've
heard these these concerns this week, race about you know,
the possibility of port barrel politics and you know, doing
projects for your friends and all that sort of stuff.
Again and again I go back to, you know, these
are the people we voted for, so do we not
trust them to do their jobs properly and just get
(06:36):
on with things? But then there's also other weird stuff happening,
like and you you can only relate to the things
that are happening, you know, to you personally at your place.
And the thing that's happening at my place is pen Link,
which is a motorway connection that will join the motorway
(06:59):
to halfway along Fungal Para Peninsula. And apparently it's been
put back two years because of a complicated bridge. The
bridge got more complicated than they thought, so I don't
know what went wrong there. But how does a bridge
that you building and had planned suddenly get more complicated?
(07:20):
I guess that's why I'm not in charge. I don't
understand these things right now. In the wake of a
kid knocking over and smashing very well priceless VARs a
very old vas in a museum somewhere, Syn James got
to talking about other embarrassing stuff that kids get up to.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Hi, guys, we were at Plumbing World looking for bathroom
fittings when our three year old decided that they would
do number two.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Plumbing World display to it.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
I lo it, Sorry, that is awful. Do you what
do you expect?
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Though?
Speaker 6 (08:02):
You know, well, there's what they're but how do you
How do you tell the store.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Person little Johnny's just dropped the douse.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Over there, I'll buy that one over there, Hey, that
one's on sale.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
I bet Hey, that's shop soiled.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
They think it's funny, but potentially quite a serious situation.
I hope they handled that carefully and didn't make the
kid feel too bad about because I mean, at that age,
you think the kid has only just got the hang
of it right, thinks he's doing the right thing, and
then suddenly everybody's angry and telling off and shame them
(08:52):
in public. I have hang out serious hang ups about
ever using the Louis ever. Again, there's always sometimes there's
psychological and emotional consequences to these things.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
News talk.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
And speaking of scarring incidents, check out this one from
from Marcus talk about your cautionary tales.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
One thing I haven't told Dan this. One day, I
was going to work and I got like some takeaways
before work. It was like, I don't know if I
talked about this. It was like a dull, the old
roll dale, and I decided to eat it in the
car and I spilt it and I spilt it down
my lap and it was boiling hot and it was
(09:36):
burning me, so I sort of didn't know what to do.
I was sort of in the car park near lighting
direct and I start to remove my pants, am my
underwear and just get this stuff off my legs where
it was burning, and I'm sort of thinking, well, chepest creepers.
(09:58):
It's hope that the police don't apprehend me, because none
of it looked good. But it was one of those
things I just didn't know what to do. There's not
many things in life you don't had no water to
sort of. It was just really really sketchy. It wasn't
good at all, But yeah, and there was a lesson there.
I don't eat in the car. I can't quite remember
(10:21):
why I spilt it tip. I'm just trying to think, well,
think back what happened. It just got all out of
control quite quickly.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
And to think I feel a little bit guilty if
I have a sneaky service station pie and drive and
the worst thing that's ever happened there is I've got
a little bit of mint on my lap. But how
surely he wasn't driving while he was eating it was
he was just sitting there and having it. Please tell
me he wasn't actually moving while all this was going on.
(10:48):
I don't even want to think about it.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
What a horror story.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I'm gonna have nightmars about that all weekend, and then
I'll join you back here again for a week in
