Speaker 1 (00:09):
You're listening to a podcast from news Talk, said, b
follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Used Talk said, be you talk, my beautiful beanings, and
welcome to the being for Friday.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Who's with yesterday's news? I am Glen Hart and we're
looking back at Thursday. The right to silence gets in
the way sometimes, so it's tricky. This top party that
everybody's talking about, so they know what they're talking about
some magazine nobody's ever heard of ricking spark arenas quite
(00:49):
a cool venue.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
And we're going to do some podcasts.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Really, I feel like we haven't done enough podcast really
this week we're going to finish up with that. But
before any of that, I'm selling off all the dockland
that's not really being used for anything.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Thoughts Science Monitor has loads of opinion on it. Read
all that for many of the people they talked to,
much of the new law updates were sorely needed for
a piece of legislation that was forty years old. On Newsroom,
one expert planner pointed out the sales and swaps of
conservation land already happens, and all this amendment does is
make the process less clunky. He also wondered why the
(01:27):
reality and the rhetoric was so different, and that lies
at the feet of groups like Greenpeas and Forest and Bird,
who made the whole story about sixty percent is going
to be sold, which is not true. All agree it's
a badly written law that's been rushed and is currently
before a select committee with a tight deadline of July
the second. The way we rushed through our law was
a complaint made last week by Sir Jeffrey Palmer, and
(01:48):
we're writing bad law because it's also rushed. Others pointed
out that it takes power away from a minister, which
was a check and balance. That's a concern, but the
whole thing amplified how so many are getting the information
from bias social media, and how so many people do
not realize the full story, and how so much about law,
as I said before, badly written. So a word of
(02:10):
advice to the government and Time of Portaka about this
piece of legislation, the Conservation Amendment. Milk, you have failed
to explain this. People have got the wrong end of
the stick. They don't understand the nuance, and perhaps you
might want to take your foot off the gas.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Ah man, It's a symptom of the modern age, isn't
it getting people to try and understand the nuance?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yeah, yeah, we're.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Actually going to come back to that at the minute,
but a nuance stand.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
By for some nuance. News talk has been in.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
The meantime in the wake of the kid on the
dirt by who was killed, and nobody's saying anything about it.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
It's not ideal.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
They're designed to protect us that the state cannot compel
us to talk. I think most of us would be
quite happy to talk if we saw a crime than committed,
if we knew that somebody had been murdered, even if
it was a member of our family. We have seen
family members do the right thing and dobbin a child
(03:25):
who has committed murder because that is wrong. You know,
the right to silence may well be a legal right.
The right to live a life without being murdered surely
trumps that. The right to be free and unimpeded and
(03:46):
not have your life snuffed out by a violent, callous,
evil human surely trumps the right to silence. Is it
time to have another look at this? I mean, really,
there are ways of modifying it. There are ways of
there are ways of still allowing people their legal rights
(04:09):
without necessarily putting them in the cone of silence and
protecting them. I'm just so sick of it. Anybody who's
lived long enough will have seen it time and time
and time again. I hate to think how many murderers
(04:31):
there are walking amongst us because nobody had the courage
within that family, within the household to do the right thing.
And it's going to happen again.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Yeah, Unfortunately, stuff like this. That's the price we pay,
isn't it. Living in a free society. People had to
be free to be dickheads. Unfortunately, he's going to be
a certain amount of them. And if you crack down
(05:03):
on dickheads too hard, sometimes you end up accidentally cracking
down on people like you and me. Tricky, you've talk
said right back to this nuanced thing.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
That we were talking about before.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
So every way, Man, Top Love and Top going to
vote for Top. How much do they actually know about Top.
Let's see if we can find somebody who does know something.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
So if the Opportunity Party does get into parliament, do
you really think they would work with a national lead coalition?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Trevor, how are you?
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
You guys. All right, yeah, good mates.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
Good Look. The most disturbing thing I've heard about TOP
was this morning and apparently their law and order, one
of their law and all policies is to treat people
up to twenty as children when it comes to disciplining
them and maybe a bit of time and state detention
and that. And to me, I mean, that's just where
you're worrying for the left. I mean, a flavor've got
(05:59):
it and they have to go with the Greens. We
know what their policy is, no prisons, no police, and
you've got to party Mary, and we know what there is.
And TOP they favor trigging people up to twenty as children.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Well, I'm just.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Looking at that.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
I'm just looking true, I'm just looking at their crime
policy and raise the age of the youth court jurisdiction
to twenty five in line with developmental science. So I
think that's on the you know, what is it that
your prefrontal cortex or doesn't fuse whatever part of your
brain doesn't fuse until you're twenty five. So the idea
(06:36):
is that you're not responsible for your actions until you're
twenty five years out.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
It's a big jump.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
I mean it's just ridiculous driven not holding back there,
there's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
I mean, I don't even have a prefrontal cortex. As
far as I'm aware, I've never developed.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Past the maturity of a twelve year old thereabouts.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
But I think I'm still being how responsible for my actions?
Maybe I'm not.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
I seem to get away with a lot actually that
I think of it. Right, We're all big readers of
IQ magazine, aren't we. You know IQ magazine. Everybody's into
IQ magazine. No nobody ever heard of IQ magazine until
they put a list of the world's best venues and
(07:31):
Spark Arena got on it, and oh.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
IQ magazine, ain't they must know what they're talking about.
Speaker 8 (07:36):
Since moving back to Auckland three years ago, I've been
to Spark Arena more times than I can remember. I've
seen everything now. I was seen the Wiggles, Susie Cato,
big noisy rock, like the War on Drugs, Mumford and Sons,
Lenny Kravitzy was the best Willie. I've seen big stars
like Lizzo and Lord, shows like Hamilton. I've been there
in previous years obviously for things like Oprah Winfrey and Celendion,
(07:58):
and every single time, honestly, without fail, I have had
a great experience. Now we can have a debate about
the acoustics because frankly, yeah, they do suck sometimes. I mean,
you know it's not the best. If you've had the
best acoustics, you know this place is far from the best.
But otherwise it's a great experience. It never feels empty
in there, even with small crowds, because it's versatile enough
(08:18):
to be adjusted for them. It's central city, so it's
easy to get to and from the great bars and
restaurants around it, easy to walk out and grab an uber,
easy to find a car park nearby, easy to get
to the train, stational catch a bus. Staff are always
helpful in getting you to your seat or pointing you
into the right section. The drinks are served fast, really
easy to get in. I think we've got so consumed
(08:39):
in Auckland in recent years with the debate that flares
up every now and again about how we don't have
a decent new stadium that I think we forget what
we do actually have, which is a decent and great
arena right in the center of town, which does its
shob brilliantly well done them.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Yeah, I've been to a few things there. It wasn't
always sparkering or was it something else for me for
its sparkering it? These days, I don't think it makes
much difference who sponsors it. I saw Bob Dylan there,
he was terrible. I saw Billy Joel there, he's always fantastic.
(09:17):
She went to the War on Drugs. Eh, you reckon Hei,
there was a big War on drugs.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Fan always wanted to go and see War on drugs.
Wonder why the opportunity came up for her to go
and see War on drugs. It was the one that's
that stuck out for you, that one, Yeah, that stuck
out for me too. News Talk ZI been all right podcast?
Really here we go.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
This next thing is called Marcus hands Netflix knots. Marcus
pans Netflix knots. I honestly I just have absolutely no
idea what they could possibly mean.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Let's see if we can find out.
Speaker 9 (10:00):
On Tuesday, I was begging streaming services and saying how
terrible they are. It was better off for the video
shops when you got a movie and watched it. Well,
strike me down as a hypocrite. Yesterday and today I
got hooked on outlast Wow, goodness, So I've seen that
(10:21):
a couple of times in the past. That's when they
send people to Alaska and there's a million dollars up
for grab, but you've got to be in a team
at the end to win it. Well, this time they've
gone to think it might be Panama. They're in the tropics.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
Goodness, me compelling.
Speaker 9 (10:40):
There's people that are lovable, there's people that are ogue.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
So there we go.
Speaker 9 (10:43):
That was a surprise for me that that was much
much better than I thought it was. So I have
found something on Netflix that was kind of compelling. So
there's been a big day watching TV and baking. On
the other thing was installing an outdoor clothesline. Now I've
got thoughts about that, right not I'm not good with
(11:08):
not And it's hard to be not good with knots
because so often in your life you'll be trying to
tie something to a trailer or tie a clothesline to
a raft. You think, gee, I really should have learned notts,
but you never do. I've always thought I'm not a
(11:29):
good knot person, but I've never thought I'm gonna learn knots,
and that weird a you can just your whole life
think notts aren't for me. But I could quite easily
get on YouTube and learn knots, couldn't I? So what's
that about that we just think we're not good at something,
(11:49):
we don't do it, so I might become a knot boar.
There's some good books out there, fifty knots you need
to know. I didn't think there'd be fifty. I think
about three would be good for me. Never learn knots either,
Figure eight I could probably.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Yeah, I think he turned into a knot bought a
lot faster than he thought he was going to.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Actually it was quite boring. Yeah, I think people do
learn knots, especially sailors.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Where he went to sailing. That was but yeah, that
that that podcast really didn't really deliver what I'd hoped
I thought.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I thought the Netflix knots was all one thing. You see.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
You don't know that when I'm looking at a piece
of audio and it says Marcus pans Netflix knots, and
I've realized now too, I jumped straight into where he
started talking about Netflix. But he was talking about hands
before that, cooking pans, well.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Baking pans. Actually, I think he was talking about the
ones that.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
You can remove the bottom. So it was actually three
different things. It was pans which you didn't hear Netflix
and then knots. I thought he was panning Netflix. Not
that's what I was hoping for. But that's that's the
rescue take with podcast Roulette. And if you are still
(13:33):
listening now, you have got such a warped sense of
humor and I love you for it. And we'll do
more of this sort of thing on Monday with a
weekend edition of the theme.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
