Speaker 2 (00:22):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the Bean for Tuesday.
First with yesterday's news, I am Glen Hart and we
are looking back at Monday.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
We need to talk about how the All Blacks went
and how they're going to go.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
The state of the rugby generally Tory Fano's car quite
the talking point, and speaking of cars, Manua Bay and
the traffic around the airport and the new shops, and a.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Bit of a drama apparently before any of that.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
An ongoing discussion about extending the lengths that the government
we elect into power stay and power for before we
either re elect them or biff them out.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
I would love to see that with opposition parties too,
because it still sticks in my craw when Chriship Can said, yeah,
we weren't really ready to govern nine years in opposition
and you're not ready to govern nine years of being
paid by the taxpayer to do?
Speaker 5 (01:26):
What to do?
Speaker 4 (01:28):
What if you're not ready to govern? What in the
name of all that is holy were you doing? You're
all very well and good to say that you're trying
to find a new leader, but you've still got people
who are in charge of portfolios, who should be passionate
about those portfolios, who should have spent those nine years
(01:49):
provided they were re elected, and if they weren't passing
on the work that they had done to the next person,
the next spokesperson saying here, this is what needs to
be done. These are the priorities right now. This is
what we can do, this is what we can't. And
I would love to see the opposition parties given a
report card after every year to show that they are
(02:13):
there for a reason, that they are opposing, that they
are doing the work that's required to keep the government
of the day on its toes, held to account, and
so that when the time comes they are actually ready
to govern. I don't think that's unreasonable. I'd really like
(02:34):
to see an account of the work that they have
done throughout the year, paid for by the taxpayer. I
don't think it's unreasonable to say, well, what value have
we got for our money while you've been in opposition?
Not unreasonable?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Wow, I love the way that she flipped that on
its head.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Is the term of course, isn't just the term for
the government is the term for the opposition.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
I've never thought of it that way.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I think that gets my prize for the best take
of the year, Kerry. So far as we head into October,
you still got time.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Everybody else news talk ze been.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
What about you, Ryan, have you got an entry for
the hottest take of the year because you were also
talking about whether or not we should extend the parliamentary term.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
We need longer terms. Yes, it will suck if it's
not your party that you like in at the time
that it's introduced, but it needs to happen for the
better of the country, doesn't it. The government's looking at
this because it is in the coalition agreements with both
at and New Zealand. First, no strict timings in those
coalition agreements. But on Friday Luxon was talking to a
(03:50):
Bloomberg Q and A and seemed to indicate that we
might have a referendum on this at the next election.
It's a no brainer. We have big problems and short
terms in this country. The big question is who will
get the first one? Will it be you know that lot?
Will it be your lot? Those are the big questions,
(04:10):
and also will it be a binding referendum, which is
what New Zealand First is obviously pushing for.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Can we actually can we get a binding referendum on
whether referendum should always be binding because they're not binding?
Ones are just absolutely pointless. Why would you bother voting
in something that isn't binding?
Speaker 6 (04:31):
I wouldn't have I have have I have I have
I in the past and then discovered that I wasn't
bounding worse than you discovering that you're unbound.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Talk s right. So the All Blacks still causing.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
A bit of concern for Ragby fans, given that they
count sim to score in the last twenty minutes in games,
which is kind of important a lot of the time.
Speaker 7 (05:01):
When I was watching the game, I watched it delayed, Yeah,
slightly delayed so I can sort of fight fast through
forward through the sky sort of halftime coverage. And I
accidentally saw a headline showing how close the score was
at the end, and I was like, and that was
only about twenty minutes before the game.
Speaker 8 (05:21):
I was like, how the what happened?
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I thought we were going to clean them.
Speaker 9 (05:28):
Exactly, but they put up a great step that and
all the rugby championship games All Blacks have played this year.
The last twenty minutes, they's scored zero points, zero and
that's in the fast five games. I just I couldn't
believe it. But you were right when saying that the
Crusaders they were, that was them in the last twenty
they just shut the game down. I think a big
(05:49):
thing that's missing for the All Blacks. And I'm looking
from my rugby head as Richie Morgan, who's the fresh time. Yeah,
and the depths. We don't have the depths.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Is any of this?
Speaker 7 (06:03):
And look, we're not apt to give anyone too hard
a time, but do you think that there's something about
the I mean, of course, when you're on the field
the last twenty what happens in that game. Okay, you
can have a couple of clever substitutions, but what happens
in the game is so much dictated to by the
way that a team is laid on the field. Do
you think Scott Barrett isn't quite there as a captain yet?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Well?
Speaker 9 (06:27):
Interesting you say that leadership comes and like in most
sports and anything in.
Speaker 10 (06:33):
Life, Yeah, I do wonder about my duke feel we've
been having this conversation for a million years now about
the all blacks inability to you know, come up with
a decent plan or if their plans not working, to
change the plan.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I did point out to some of the people I
was watching the revue with not delayed but watching it live,
I actually quite like working at delayed as well because
you can FastPort thro all the wars because most of
the game these days obviously, anyway, that.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Aside I did. I did point out to somebody who
was complaining about the.
Speaker 11 (07:21):
Lack of leadership on the field that these guys are
being repeated the head in the head for eighty minutes
not to be quite quite tricky to make those pressure precisions.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah, don't a game us called sept Right. So Mayor
of Wellington, Torry Funo sold her car. That's a fact
why she sold it up for debate.
Speaker 8 (07:50):
Apparently, if Wellington City Council cannot sell its airport shares,
then it cannot pass its long term plan. And if
it cannot pass its long term plan, it has failed
to do its core job. And at that point, failure
to do your core job. Simeon Brown, the local government
minister can send in the council observer. Do you see
what's just happened here? So if they basically set off
a whole bunch of things in motion, they will be
(08:13):
able to get a Crown observer in That is what
Wellington City Council needs. That's for the good of the
city council here the city basically because this place is
a mess. You can see it. I mean, you've got
a mayor who is such a hot mess she can't
even tell the truth about why she sold her car.
You've got a council hiding things from the public, trying
to frustrate the democratic process, with counselors trying to help
(08:34):
a Nasdaq listed company pay for a building. Renno, you've
got a council spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on
the wrong things bike racks, and spending less than any
other council in the Greater Wellington region on the right
things like fixing the water pipes.
Speaker 12 (08:48):
If this was any other.
Speaker 8 (08:49):
Situation, I would back the sale of the airport shares
because I think it's the right thing to do. But
this time I reckon they should blow that up and
block it, if only to force the government to send
some grown ups into Wellington to run this place properly.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
It's not to avoid the main issue here.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I do wonder if the reason that Bano sold her
car was something like, so my car.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
I love my car, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Actually really, well, it's cost me very little money.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
I mean, I do keep it regularly service and all
the rest of it.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
But yeah, we're getting out towards one hundred and eighty
thousand k's now and it's ten years old, so it
might be time to move on.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
And I do love it.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
The only thing that annoys me about it is that
the Bluetooth, when you can eat the Bluetooth, it doesn't
just automatically connect and start playing from where it left off,
which other cars seem to do. And I get tremendous
fomo when I'm in another car and I have my
phone connected to that Bluetooth and it just keeps playing
my podcast.
Speaker 12 (09:53):
Or if you've seen them, we'll let me know what
that about. Also to about, and that's why she sold
it a brand new shopping center, which is that just
me let's move on? Well not quite, but people have
missed their flights because right have you've been to mano
Obey yet?
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Traffic chaos. You haven't. I find out things like everybody
went in the weekend and caused message.
Speaker 12 (10:11):
So many people going there, the roads were all just
jam packed, and you just wonder if the job, if
your job is all international airport, is to run the airport,
and you built a shopping more that means people can't
get to your airport. Is that clever? Probably not? So
there we go if you want talk about that's something
else you want to mention tonight, looking forward to what
(10:32):
you've got to say. Curious to know what you thought
about Mona we Bay experience, because it's been advertised for
a long long time, quite a bit of hype about that.
That's kind of what happens now with shopping is it's
the hype. Would it be cost codes or Crispy Cream
Donuts or Popeyes Popeye Fried Chicken that people get so
(10:57):
such a head of steam about it they can almost
you know, you do the pr right, you can stop
the city. I guess the situation with Monea Where Bay
if it's going to continue like that or if it's
just going to kind of settle down. But the last
thing you want going to airport is more stress not
knowing where they're going to get there in time.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Do come through if you.
Speaker 12 (11:16):
Want to talk about that eight hundred and eighty ten eighty.
It's his in the story. Airlines claim new Manoa Bay
Mall delays flights as crew caught in traffic. It's the
crew that have been caught. Airlines are frustrated by traffic conjection,
a congestion caused by Auckland Airports mana a Bay outlets center,
and say some flights have been delayed. Crew and group
(11:40):
handers were caught up in traffic chaos at the weekend,
described as appalling by some visitors to the new shopping center.
Airline and groundhandlers saw staff caught up into congested roads
with su resorts using bus lanes and an effort to
get to work, customers were caught up in traffic congestion.
Many were first delayed getting to park and ride locations
(12:02):
and then delayed again trying to catch the bus to
the terminal, said the Boards Executive director cath O'Brien. This
is the board of airline representatives. The new turn million
dollar plus seem to open on Thursday, and despite preparation
to minimize delays by the airport company, traffic was jammed
at the week in the year was busy again today
with bottlenecks on the main approach to the airport. Not ideal.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
How do these things happen?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
The crossing and Totonga is another one that opened up
and suddenly you just couldn't drive into the Bay of
Plenty that way anymore around five o'clock?
Speaker 3 (12:43):
How did they not see that coming? Who's in charge?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
I'm a bit concerned because the same people who developed Manawa,
they have just brought a whole out of land in
front of my house. And if I'm not going to
be able to drive to and from my house anymore.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
I might have to I don't know what I'm going
to do. I suppose it will give me plenty of
time to work out my blue too while I'm waiting
at the covert lights. Ah, what's heart, isn't it? I
am clean heart? That has been news doorks. He had been.
We'll be back here with more first will problems for
you tomorrow?
