Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean for
Thursday Thursdays Yesterday's news. I am Glen Hart, and we
are looking back at Wednesday. We were talking about the
greyhound band yesterday, but not banning greyhounds. I think we're
banning racing them and torturing them and killing them. I
think that's what we're banning. Speaking of racing boy racers,
(00:47):
they carry on racing for a little while Longer is
that the police Minister hasn't quite fast tracked or kicked
ass as quite as quickly as we'd hope. And is
cash still a thing? Who cares about cash? But before
any of that, oh yes, it was fairy day yesterday
we could have.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Been sailing in these new twenty twenty six. Sure it
what to cost us north of three billion dollars, don't
tell the bank, most of that being spent on landside
infrastructure to handle these big Korean made bad boys. But
now we're being told basically this today, this is the summary.
New fairies are coming, two of them smaller than the
(01:28):
ones we ordered? What is the new cost? Can't say?
What is the new cost of the land side development
that got us into trouble in the first place? Can't say?
And yet they tell us don't worry, this project will
be much cheaper than the last one. How can you
know that without first knowing the cost of the new fairies?
And how can you know the land side costs without
(01:50):
first knowing which fairies you've ordered which they haven't done yet, remember,
because the new company they've set up to do that
hasn't got its directors been appointed until next year. And
with Winston now in charge as rail Minister, do you
think he'll oversee the country's railways and kill off enablement
between the North and South Islands? Is that the sort
(02:12):
of legacy Winston Peters will want? Of course not so
this could yet again get more expensive, which is why,
when it comes down to it, with so little detail today,
this announcement really comes down to trust. Do you trust
they can pull this off? That we can have our
cake and somehow eat it too.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Right, So it wasn't really fairy day. It seems pretty
light on detail, just as we know what we're doing.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
News talk been.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
So yeah, pretty random stuff. Did Marcus find it as
random as I did? And as Ryan says, like Ryan.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Did, don't get me starte on the rail ferries. For
goodness sake, what have they done for a year? Well,
apparently nothing. You're in there for three years, you cancel
them to begin within a year later, you've done nothing.
Kick the can down the road to twenty twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Anyway. Yeah, this is not fast tracking, This is not
kicking ass. This is a it's an own goal. It's
put a lot of build out to this and then
us talk. Meanwhile, something that they have moved on, which
I think they moved on a little bit faster than
(03:28):
people had thought because it was the greyhound raising band.
Admittedly that's the process itself is going to take a
little while, but at least it's underway.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Winston Peters says, with the announcement of the government's decision yesterday,
some otherwise healthy dogs could be destroyed for no other
reason than they're no longer economically valuable, so they're gone.
But it's all very well and good saying the dogs
will be re homed. They're going to need a lot
of care from people who know and understand canine behavior.
(04:00):
Not everybody should have a dog. Just wanting a dog
isn't good enough. Loving dogs isn't good enough, as anyone
who owns a dog or has a dog as part
of their family. Nos, Just loving a dog isn't enough.
You need money, you need time, You need to understand dogs.
(04:22):
Not everybody's never retired racing greyhound either. You might love
your dog. You might be very good with your dog,
but it's not a retired racing greyhound with different needs.
I love that. In my social media feed there are
so many dog lovers saying, please adopt a greyhound. They
make amazing pets, they'll be friends for life. Although I
can't have one because my own dog wouldn't like it,
(04:44):
or I had a cat and the cat wouldn't like it.
So you adopt a dog, not me. But I get
where they're coming from. You don't you want these dogs
to have a lovely retirement. But as I say, not
everybody is going to be suited to having one and
finding homes suitable homes for two nine hundred people. People
(05:07):
who are willing to put up their hand and take
in these dogs. There's going to be a big ask,
you know, it's not a big industry, but those who
are in it are passionate about what they do. They
say they care for their animals. There's a little bit
of well why ass why not the horses. I think
(05:28):
the thing is, you cannot make a horse run, you know,
if it doesn't want to run, it won't. And it's big.
The dogs can be persuaded, for want of a better word.
But you do wonder that if they're going to ban
the greyhound racing, how long is horse racing going to
(05:53):
be around? And we've got a long history of horse
racing in this country, a long history of greyhound racing
as well, and it's a very very big business worth many,
many millions of dollars. You'd have to wonder if that's
the only thing that's keeping horse racing around, because if
they're coming for the dogs, you can bet your bott
(06:14):
dollar they'll be coming for the horses soon.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Good.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
It's you've got to stop people doing stupid things to
animal for our enjoyment, I mean, and you know, for
a limited amount of people's enjoyment as well.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
And this argument that.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
It's big business and it's jobs and all that. Yeah,
So some sip bacco industry. But should we keep that
going for a lot of things that you can't just argue, oh,
you know, somebody's going to lose their job. Yeah, because
if your job stupid and crawl and it's causing damage.
(06:57):
Let alone, let's not even get into the problem gambling
side of things. Worked up something else that it really
gets me annoyed by races because we have them my
place and on trail bikes and just loud engines and
(07:18):
noisy and stop it again. It's just stupid. It's not
what you would expect. And Mark Mitchell's electorate is it.
Speaker 7 (07:27):
We learned today that Mark Mitchell will not be introducing
legislation against boy races this year, even though all year
he said he would. In June when it was all
going off in Levin, he was promising laws to enable
the cops to seize the vehicles and to keep them
and a return to the good old days of crush
of collins. Let's crush those cars. But it's never happened
because it is and I quote Mark complex, no kidding,
(07:53):
but look, if he's got some time on his hands
to come up with some rules and laws about this
sort of thing, can I suggest he look at hitting.
The problem of South Orcan's dirt bike hooligans, who made
some headlines over the weekend. South Orcan's dirt bike rabble
is there's a classic gang technique and it needs to
be stopped. What happens is the gangs give out dirt
(08:13):
bikes to the kids and they've been doing this for
ages and these dirt bikes are cheap and their mobile
and their nippy, and by the way, they're very handy
for hit and run crime. They get young prospects into
the bike culture that then carries on into the adult
gangs and they put the kids on Harley's and Indians.
But the dirt bikes is where they start. And the
dirt bikes are swarming and they distract the police while
(08:36):
the more hardened gang crims carry on with their business
not wearing the patches because they're not stupid. These kid gangs,
in a way are even more intimidatory and dangerous than
the gangs proper. If you've ever seen a swarm of
dirt bikes in South Auckland, it's absolutely freakiously scary and horrific.
And their kids and they're all over the place and
(08:58):
they're driving the wrong way up the motorway and they
swarm on the on the streets on mass and they
indulge in street crime rather than drugs. Are the fighting
and scrapping rather than just passing away some envelopes full
of myth. They are far more visible to people on
the street. You are someone in South Auckland, and yet
do you hear anything about the South Auckland dirt bikes
(09:18):
other than every now and then when they burst into
the headline. So Mark, since you haven't got the boy
racist stuff done yet, how about the dirt bike stuff.
It's time for a good crackdown and a good dose
of crushing of these bikes. And it's time for a
politician to start talking about the growing threat. It's time
for a politician to start doing something about it.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
It would be great for immediate on site car crushing.
If they could have some kind of giant machine with them,
like a big mouth, that they literally just drive the
car or the motorbike can do it and it's crashed
straight away. That would be so cool news talk has
(09:57):
it been now they've done a bit of a report
and to cash where the people are still into it,
or whether we can just go completely digital Unfortunately, there
are some scorings in the world.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Very much down the lines of I put down here
really bears markets, farmer gates. You know, you want to
stop off and get the apples at the gates for
the farmers kids, to teach them about money, staying, putting away, donating.
It's the concept a whole in All's just the concept
flashing your watches, the concept hard cash is real and
it sort of teaches them. But then also different different
(10:35):
things that banks are more entitled to charging seeds if
they give you a gimmick, so you're actually giving money
back to the bank. And I am a George Jetson fan,
and I've got a watch, but I'm not using it
and I'm not going to because of that thing. But
just the freedom to want to have cash and as
(10:57):
they said, birthday money and you know, Chris fifty dollars
when you're six years old. It's amazing. You know, kids
gravitate to see in it. But just the freedom and
even emergency we had that Auckland situation. Was it last year?
A lot of people's ATMs weren't working. There's a lot
of power carts in that, you know, we needed cash
and there's a face for it. There's a face for
(11:20):
the George DENTSMS as well. I mean, yeah, but even
going overseas, if you're having your watches and things, you're
more likely to get into difficulty because someone's produced some
technology that robs you through your phone or through your
your cell phone or watch or whatever. Yeah, so once
you go down a single road, it's really hard to
(11:41):
come back from it.
Speaker 8 (11:42):
Well, you definitely notice when you go over to the
United States that they have so much more cash. I mean,
you can't really operate in America with a whole lot
of cash in you in your pocket for a start.
You can't hand out tips is easily at your hotels
and stuff. But we have definitely draining cash out of
our society really really, really quickly.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
That's the way it's going.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Did she imagine being robbed through your watch? Sounds painful,
doesn't it. It's just that America is so big, it's
taken and you know, and we all know that they
just love to lose things the same way for the
hundreds of years or we never want to change anything
(12:23):
but that. But they are are getting into your tap
and go and all that as well. I don't worry
about that. And of course, you know, recently we just
had Apple announced that you can just pay Wave on
any iPhone.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
You don't need.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Inspecial hardware or anything like that. So that's all happening.
I was at a market in the weekend and they
was they didn't have that facility, but they were accepting
bank deposits, and you've got the tricky situation of having
to make sure that you've typed in the right number
(12:57):
of the bank account. That's that's podiculus. Get the Apple bringers,
Come on, guys, just get with it. And also this
argument about you know, make sure you have cash in
a disaster as well. It's not not exactly clear on
what you're having to buy in a disaster. I heard
(13:17):
somebody yesterday saying, you know, you gotta pay for your
coffee somehow, But that's your priority, isn't it going out
and give you a coffee. If you're blooded, Maybe just
get a turn of coffee Linstont coffee, just to make
sure that you don't go into caffeine withhich all. I mean, yeah,
I'm only saying that in the case of an emergency,
(13:40):
I guess you could keep your cash in a coffee.
Then if I've gone off on a really random sidetrack there,
I think I might add anyway, Yeah, I'm not not
that much and not really into cash. I am gleanat
(14:00):
not into cash. My mum gave me some cash actually
for my birthday recently. That it's nice. I sudn't ever
get me in And that is what I will say
about that, is that you can then just go on
and spend it on whatever you want, and anybody else
who's normally keeping an eye on what's coming out of
the joint account, there's no idea what you're spend it on.
(14:21):
But that was quite fun. I know this is going
out to everybody in the world. You might be listening,
not Mum, the other people who are attached to that journey.
I've really gone off on a tangent on Just stop
doing the podcast for you, okay.
