Speaker 3 (00:23):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the Beans for Friday.
First with yesterday's news, I am Glen Hart, and we
are looking back at Thursday. Is it all right to
walsom to school to defend your kids? Or probably not?
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (00:38):
But what are you supposed to do? Hobbies will keep
you alive. But before any of that luxon versus the councils.
This is getting but it's getting unworkable, isn't it? So yeah,
punching down apparently punching down. What does Ryan Bridge make
(01:00):
of what happened at the at the flash conference center?
Speaker 5 (01:04):
It was the spin doctor's wet dream yesterday was the
burst pipes outside. I mean, the con trust between all
of the mayors and the councilor is sitting in one
hundred and eighty million dollar gold placing convention Center while
you know, ordinary Joe and Jane like you and me,
are trudging through lakes to reach the bus stop. It
was pretty good from a pr perspective. Not good for
(01:27):
the Tory Finos of the world. The Wellington mayor. She
said overnight Luxen was punching down on meors. The Green
councilor Thomas Nash called it monna diminishing for those gathered. Really,
what about the manna of rape payers? Who's literally whose
pooh floats in the ocean when it rains, whose streets
become lakes when a pipe bursts, and whose driveways streets
(01:52):
are littered with potholes? I mean, what about the manna
of the rape payers? Rather than just thinking about yourselves
in your nice, cushy little convention center in Wellington. Anyway,
Luxon will know that, and it's pretty much what he
knew going in. This wasn't a speech for the mayors
and for the counselors, but rather it was aimed over
(02:12):
their heads to the rate and more importantly for him,
the taxpayers.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I mean, is it appropriate to talk about wet dreams
on the radio like ours, wives, Because it's a bit
unclear with the early addition, whether it's a late, very
late night show or a very early morning show.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
You know what I mean, news talk been.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
I yuess, those are the hours where it probably is
most of appropriate to talk about wet dreams.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
When you think about it. I've got a bit distracted.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
By that phrase, so we should probably move on and
find out whether Heather thought Luxan was punching down.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
It's just punching. There's no doubt we're all in positions
authority in that room, right. Thomas Nash from the Wellington
Regional Council said the speech was one of the most
mana diminishing, paternalistic and visionless speeches to a group of
people I've ever heard, and then Wellington Greenee Counselor Niko
Winneera said it was an unbelievable executive overreach and do
you know how many rape payers fell sorry for the
(03:08):
people in that room, zero? Absolutely none, because this is
what we have been saying for how long now, and
they've just completely ignored us for the most part, probably
just written us off as a bunch of wines and
owners who don't know what we're talking about. And somehow
I suspect actually that the counselors and the mayors expected
Luxon to secretly be just like them, you know, one
of them, a receiver and a spender of public money,
(03:31):
who would just join the club of knowing how best
to spend someone else's money and they seem to have
got a bit of a shock that he wasn't part
of that club, and they got schooled to be honest.
Luxeon wasn't talking to them, was he. I mean, he
was talking past them to us, the ratepayers, who are
also taxpayers. He wanted us to see him giving them
(03:51):
a telling off, and it worked because I loved watching
that happen, and I loved them being upset about it. Actually,
and I now hope that he actually follows through on
this and actually does with whole money from the likes
of Wellington City Council, who blew what was it, eighty
four thousand dollars on a flash bike rack that no
one uses, or Linton Regional Council who blew two point
two million dollars on two new bus hubs with plants
(04:13):
growing on the roof because climate. But even better, I
actually just hope the councilors and the mayors get the
message to just buck up their ideas because he said
nothing that we haven't all been saying for a very
long time.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Doesn't seem like too many people, us dogs, the fans
of the councils. I wonder if.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Anybody is ques talk side.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Obviously, going by the very low turnout at local body elections,
not that many people are as Francesca.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
Different councils around the country have different issues, but they
have potentially hefty rate rises in common and a need
for central government to help fund infrastructure. If yesterday's speak
was anything to go by, then the time for handouts
is over. So councils are about to negotiate their city
deals with central government to line up funding. And this
(05:05):
speech is a clear warning to some councils you might
have to adjust your spending and your wish list in
regard to how handing out cold cash to councils. The
Prime Minister made it very clear that previous the previous
government might have taken that approach, but the party is over.
Sime and Brown, inspired by New South Wales and a
(05:28):
model that they have there, has also floated the idea
of putting in place a regulator which regulates what price
increases can be put on the non core programs that
councils do. And the aim of this, of course is
to make cost controls for councils, something which he believes
we're not currently seeing. Is this necessary or is this
(05:50):
just another layer of bureaucracy, which means that nothing's actually
ever going to get done. And we've at some point
you've got a kind of trustee council to get things done.
So the outcome for central government is it's all about
rubbish and roads and water and price caps as a rape.
This all sounds great, but we all have different ideas
(06:12):
of what should be core functions of a council. Our
libraries and sport fields and parks as important to you
as rubbish and roads and water.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
I'm thinking most people would think that water is more
important than cycle ways they had to choose. I might
be wrong about that, right. So as some dad got
a bit carried away, we called a defender's kid. It
all got out of hand. How far would you go
(06:44):
to stick out for your kid? That's the question, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
It's a pretty interesting story. It doesn't sound very good.
Murray's Bay Intermediate in Auckland. A father stormed into the
classroom of that school, one of the classrooms there, and
threatened to kill a pupil after his son obviously had
been subject to some bullying and rough housing. So we're
going to alleged yes, So we're going to talk about
(07:06):
that after one o'clock should have parent ever enter the
school grounds to sort out a dispute. I was having
a chat with somebody about this off air and their
a parent, and they said they would have done exactly
the same, So we'll get your thoughts.
Speaker 8 (07:19):
I had to deal with that when Jesse was a kid.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Did you go on to the school grounds?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
No?
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Yeah, I mean I snatch would feel protective, I suppose,
But really what people should do is follow my advice
and never never ever, never, never ever, never ever never
have kids, and then you won't have these problems.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
News talk has it been.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
We're going to finish up finding out what will keep
you young and alive and healthy forever. There's always something,
isn't there?
Speaker 8 (07:48):
Tell you what when you retire, guys, they reckon the
most important thing and retirement and in your life that
hobbies are more important than jobs. Anyone taken up any
new hobbies lately. Haven't done a show on hobbies for
us thinking about that, and I'm curious to know about
(08:09):
that what the hobbies are. And I don't know whether
buying stuff on TIMU was a hobby, although I felt
kind of that. I saw the courier come around to
the house today. I thought I might spend a day
with the courrier before too long, helping out. I just
want to see how much stuff comes from Temu. Of
course that's not going to be my new hobby helping
(08:30):
out the courier, but I was curious, Well, that would
be a good way to find out if, in fact,
half the stuff is Temu stuff. After seeing my neighbor
around his property with a water diviner, he said something
odd later that he wasn't searching for water. Do you
(08:51):
believe divining is legit? Have you done it? What else
can you divine for?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Does sitting on the couch watching Apple TV plus, Netflix,
Disney Plus video while eating stuff that I've melted cheese
over does that count as a hobby? I sort of
feel like it's a hobby. I also don't feel like
(09:15):
it's given me young or healthy, so something's gone wrong there.
I'll have a little think about that over the weekend,
and I'll come back with you with a weekend edition
on Monday of the Bean c.
