You're listening to a podcast from News Talk said B
follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio,
Used Talk, sed be You Talk.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean to Friday,
first of yesterday's News. I am Glen Hart, and we're
looking back at Thursday. We're off to discover oil. Hope
we do imagine if we don't. There've been a lot
of fuffalover nothing wouldn't it. The COVID inquiry, it just
(00:45):
seems like it's never going to end, much like it
felt like when COVID was happening, where that doesn't happen
anymore and nobody definitely ever has COVID anymore. And then
we're gonna it's gonna be a sort of a fashion
podcast at the end of it, because we'll be talking
about vintage clothes and we're wearing your decket inside. But
before any of that, Winston Peters is a racist. I
(01:10):
don't think there's really any doubt about it now, is there.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
But the bit the media is focusing on here is
the part where Winston tells Lawrence Shunan, this is the
green MP born in China. To quote go back to
your own country. Now, I don't like it when Winston
does this. It gets personal and it shouldn't be. It
just turns me off. The fact is, Lawrence schu Nan
is a New Zealander. End of He's allowed to ask
(01:34):
questions in Parliament. He's an MP. He's allowed to shout
across the house during question time because he's an MP.
They all do it unless the speaker says stop. He
has the same rights to speak his mind as anyone else.
That is the beauty of democracy. Every man and his
dog is going to debate whether this is racism or
something else. What it's not is hate speech. Hate speech
(01:57):
is what old mate Brian from Destiny said the other week,
talking about physical violence to people in particular groups of people.
But back to Winston. He is now embroider himself in
a fight with the Chinese embassy. In fact, he's throwing
a bit of a Hessy fit at the ambassador. This
is our foreign minister. This should surprise absolutely no one.
It's Winston being Winston. The metamorphosis from minister to campaigner
(02:20):
is almost complete. His skin is almost shed, a butterfly
is breaking free from its chrysalis. But Winston is right
about one thing. We're lucky to live here and not China. Opinions,
freedom of expression, access to the internet, the right to
elect your political leaders not virtues of their system but ours.
(02:41):
Theirs is autocratic. The system we hold there allows Lawrence
to ask questions and shout inside our parliament, but also
protects Winston's right to say off color comments in return.
Taste is an entirely different question, and on this point
I find Winston off putting.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Yeah, I think it's time, isn't it. It's time some
kind of intervention needs to happen at this point. I
think it's much the same way that people in the
United States are feeling about their president at the moment.
In a way, we've given you a bit of a
latitude here, but I think it's time we at least
(03:22):
went and visited a few old people's homes and you know,
just to try them out.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
News talk Z been okay.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
So there's some kick ass fast track, scraped the barnacles off,
get the car out of the ditch. Government has finally said, yep,
you can actually go and see if there's some oil
out there. Took them long enough.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
Now, Yesterday's made a lot of the fact that NZ
we're the only applicants. But of course others have said
that's because the opposition is still threatening that ban and
that that band could come back, and that's giving explorers
cold feet. Here's where I stand. I have absolutely no
problem with exploration, never have. But I also have no
problem with a ban. What I've always thought as a
(04:07):
band can only happen if New Zealand has a viable
replacement plan in place. When Labor introduced the band, that
was not the case. We cut off our nose to
save our face. It seemed weird, but I also know that,
based on the past one hundred and fifty years of expiration,
the chances of a commercially viable find are low. So anyway,
I say good on them and good luck. But when
(04:29):
I was listening to the story yesterday, the takeaway for
me is that the only people who could find the
capital for this sort of work were Australians. No New Zealanders,
no Shell, BP Todd, no, none of that. And I
think that shows up our basic economic weakness. We have
a lack of capital for investment in anything, not just
oil and gas, but for every big idea. We don't
(04:51):
really need to find oil and gas, or we do
but we don't. What we really need to find is
a money tree.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, I mean we are we're little. We're little. We
keep forgetting how little we are. I think I think
we think we're bigger than we are. We're one of that.
We're like one of those little dogs. That's the big dogs.
If it really came down to it, the little dog
is just lunch. I don't think. I mean, I don't
(05:23):
know if there's necessarily anything wrong with it, as long
as you don't ever actually get in an actual scrap
with the big dog. Sort of forgotten what this similarly
metaphor was all about. So let's move on. Hu's talk said,
I can't believe we're still doing COVID inquiry stuff. How
(05:45):
can this be happening? How I thought we just weren't
doing COVID anymore. Why are we still doing it?
Speaker 6 (05:52):
It's big difference between that and releasing some sort of
information just because you said you would release some sort
of information within five working days. And like me, Matthew Haigu,
so as anyone who thinks we're going to believe this
talk about politics being kept out of the next pandemic
or they're in They're in lala land.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
These are the words future governments. We live in a
system with political supremacy. They will do what they want
to do. The only thing I think that was the
biggest handbreak on future governments is the public backlash when
the previous government's re a sport went too far. I
hope that future governments will see that and realize that
that kind of thing comes at a political cost.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
Yes, the Labour knows that, National knows that, all the
parties know that, which is why this talk of us
being way better informed when the next pandemic hits, it's just,
in my book, is just nonsense.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I'm sure you can't just pretend the whole thing never happened.
That's been my philosophy around this seem to be working
pretty well so far, and there might be a reason
why that won't work in the end, but now it
looks pretty good. System.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Use your right.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
It was vintage clothed talk on the Afternoon Show yesterday.
I think it is strange, isn't it. The village closed thing,
people with holy jeans, what's.
Speaker 8 (07:19):
That about being a big boom and the number of
people buying things from op shops.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
If that's you one hundred and eighty ten eighties and
number to call.
Speaker 9 (07:26):
Hi, guys.
Speaker 8 (07:27):
I work for a little health center in a small
Hawk's Bay town. The local opshow donate all their takings
to the health center. They make approximately ten thousand dollars
per year, which they donate to us. Just awesome generosity.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
That is buddy goods.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
That is yeah, good on you, Yeah, good on you. Joseph.
Speaker 10 (07:44):
How are you, Yes, good afternoon, Matt Tyler, how are
you very good? I have been trying to figure out
for a long long time. I mean, I was ordered
the state until I was twenty, and if I went
to school with a whole and by trouser anything, I
used to be embarrassed. But nowadays the new shops, in
their second end shops, they've got loads of genes with massive,
(08:05):
big holes in their genes. Yeah, I mean, I mean,
what's going to chuck things right that out? I mean,
what's going on that they're going to wear and win
big holes in them?
Speaker 9 (08:17):
There's no accounting for fashion. That's the style, Joseph. For
the longest time, people wanted their genes not to have
holes in them, and as a reaction to that, now
some people want jeans with holes in them.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Why, I mean, it should be discounted.
Speaker 9 (08:30):
We're distressed Pep people, Pepe Joseph. You'll find that that
people that they're sold new like that and that they
have in the factory, they get them smashed up and
distressed and have the holes ripped in them before they
even get to the new store.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Yeah. The challenge is, isn't it when you've got your
pre hold distressed jeans. I do always worry are they
going to last? As long as you know, jeans that
actually look nice and new, because the holes holes just
(09:04):
get worse, don't they. That's the thing with holes, as
I understand them. Maybe I'm just not buying the right holes.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
News talks it.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Bean meanwhile and other fashion news. Marcus has of you
on people who wear jackets inside.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Marcus's and Peters. We just suck it up, make classic
mags just in case they don't.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Die, wondering good on the school kids inside. Don't need jackets.
Nothing worse than kids and jackets all hoarded up. They
look so you're inside, you're in your shirt or your jersey.
But all these parents going to the media for goodness sake,
cheapest creepers. If I'm surprised how strong I am on
(09:48):
this one. I see both stuff and you see the
herold have gone big on this. But yeah, no, you
know what's the rules? You'd take you to St man
Evergreen would have been there on hundred and fifty years
for the same rules. It's not that Auckland suddenly got colder,
just all these people with these darft puffer jackets looking
like chillen men wandering around ridiculous things never owned one,
(10:13):
never will, although I quite like those stormy ones or
whatever they're called. Anyway, Marcus, I work in a cold office.
I wear a coat or jacks. I warm up if
I am cold, I cannot focus on my work. Where
has common sense gone? There will be those radiators in
the classes. I am sure put a heat pump in
the classrooms if it's cold. I bet they don't because
(10:35):
of the cost. We'll used to have a pot billy
stove without a guard in our classrooms, Cassidy, No doubt
there'll be a child that'll be taking on a thermometer
their parents will have given them.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I am actually wearing a I don't know if you
call this a puffer jacket, but a relatively thick jacket.
At the moment, you never quite know what's happening with
their conditioning. In this building, there's a very large atrium
which runs up in the middle of it, and they don't
seem to have managed to figure out a system that
stops all the coldness to this building. And it's the
(11:13):
cause of great consternation amongst all the people who we
have to work in this building because sometimes the and
the amazing thing about and I think I have said
this before, the amazing thing about air conditioning is that
it doesn't matter what the workplace is. Everybody complains about it,
(11:34):
and also everybody thinks it's unique to their particular work situation.
But don't worry, guys, nobody's air conditioning works. It's one
of those technologies we thought that we had invented, but
we didn't quite finish inventing it, I think, and it's
never really worked. It's but like printers, but you think,
(11:55):
after all this time, the printers would always work. But
we all know what happens with those two, don't we.
It's just some things that you can't fix. Printers and
air conditioning, I think are the main ones. So hopefully
you'll spend the weekend away from printers in air conditioning,
and you won't have to deal with them and deal
with them again until Monday. And I'll see you back
(12:16):
here again with a weekend edition of Whatever This was Us.
