Tonight on The Huddle, journalist Mark Sainsbury and Ali Jones from Red PR joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more!
North Korea is set to open back up to tourists at the end of the year. Would we go?
We've gotten a look at the new school lunches menu - what do we think? Will these be fit for purpose?
Eden Park has asked the council to let it host twice as many concerts as it's allowed right now. Is this a no-brainer?
A UK judge has sentenced a keyboard warrior to 15 months in jail. The 53 year old woman had called for someone to blow up a mosque in a local community Facebook group. Will a sentence like this deter other keyboard warriors?

The Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty exceptional marketing
for every property on.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
The Huddle with me Mark Sainsbury, journalists and broadcaster, and
Alie Jones read Pierre, Hello you two good eight high, Yeah,
says so would you go? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Oh yeah, I mean guess this is Mark said, I
don't remember when he went. I was so jealous. Was
it just one of those It's just one of those
sort of it's just so weird. And as Mark was
saying that we're going to go these days that are
so different, you know, sitting we have a McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Okay, what about you, Allie? I'm starting to get a
vibe here Ali that the people who would go to
North Korea are journalists, but normal people wouldn't. So what
about you?
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Oh no, no, I definitely. I've been to South Korea.
I found that really interesting and different. Yeah, I know,
extremely westernized. Yeah, very different, but I mean the language
is still similar, you know, those sorts of things.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
But yes, of course i'd go. If if you look,
if you've got.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
To try things, as you said, well said, go while
you're young enough to run away, I mean, go while
you can and expect something different.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Yeah, why not.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Here's the thing those sayings like. Sometimes I find that
that a holiday in a place that speaks English and
is part of the Old Empire is quite easy to
kind of like it's an easy holiday, right, because the
culture is kind of the same, and the further away
the culture gets from your own, the more challenging the
holiday can be and less relaxing. And I feel like
this is the extreme of that day.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Oh, he used to be here, even when he used
to travel, and when you're on assignment and going to
different countries or when I was a foreign correspondent began
so you would attempt to try and you know, a
bit of the language, just so you didn't turn up
looking like an episode you didn't understand anything. But but
there's less and less incentives to do that now as
you go over it English. Everyone speaks English, and so
you're not immersing yourself into that sort of different cultural experience.
(01:44):
And I think this is I think this is this
is a different This would go into that who's the
guy who wrote that holidays and held book, you know,
the American and needs to go after all just anywhere
there no no, I know, Bill Bryson. Oh what was
his name? He started? Anyway, I'll think of it.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah, when you think of it, say, I know it
your age, it takes a little longer.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Well, let us know I've past that sixty threshold where
there's been big changes.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yes, that's right, you aged sixty two. Right, Hey Ellie,
what do you make of the school lunches?
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Men?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
You didn't look that there, does it?
Speaker 4 (02:20):
I think it looks great. I look, I'm a big
foodie husband's and ex chef. I do like doing things
on a budget. You wouldn't believe how many meals I
can get out of a chicken.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
So I really liked it. I do wonder though, whether.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Some of those sort of spicy beanie type things are
not going to spin kid's wheels.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
But I was pleased to see that they're.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Clearly checking them for the nutritional value and the appeal
to those who want to eat them.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
I think it looks really good.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah, I wonder saying so if the people who were
criticizing kind of got a little ahead of this and
maybe just a little embarrassed because this is not that bad.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Yeah, I mean, it looked to be fair when it
first came out. I look at those those terrible people
coting school lunches. So the concept I think was quite challenging.
But one they've sort of come out. You said, I think, okay,
if you can do it, And it's interesting that it's
sort of trying to deliver what was it another one
hundred and ten teams are one hundred thousand pre ten
thousand pre school. They'll be able to sort of fit
(03:16):
into this budget as well, because it's not just it's
not just the kids at school that I mean. I
think that I think it's really really important that the
food and school's program, and it's got to be you
don't want to have that awful system. They have another
country we build with vouchers and you go, oh look
there's Heather were their pink vouchers. She's obviously poor. You know,
all that sort of stuff. So that you know you've
got to do You've got to do the whole thing
(03:37):
and treat everyone equally. But yeah, look I looked through
those menus. I actually that's not too bad.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yeah, I thought I would eat some of that. Hey,
I want to get your take. Each of you on
Eden Park will do it. After the break.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Quarter two, the huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty
unparalleled reach and.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Results back of the huddle, Mark Sainsbury and Alie Jones, Ali,
what do you reckon? Should Eden Park have twelve concerts?
Speaker 5 (03:59):
I think you have ask the residents, you know, I
know that.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Yeah, Well, look, I know that there was a there
was a survey done in February and I think there
were fifteen hundred residents who were surveyed and they said
ninety percent of them said that they would support it,
support this, you know, these additional performances or events. There
are fourteen and a half thousand people who live in
Mount Eden, so there's got to be a far better
(04:23):
survey in numbers taken than that. But you've got to
ask the people who live there. That is a residential area,
if the traffic and the roads can take it, if
the residents are happy with it, if the noise is
watched and enforced and controlled as much as it can be.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
I haven't got a problem with it, but I don't
live there. Ask the people who live there.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Okay, So if the people who live there saying so,
say it's okay, it's a slam dunk.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Yes, oh absolutely, and yeah, and look in the ALII,
I know what you mean, You've got to consult. But
Eaton Park was there before most of them moved to
that area. It's a bit like we had this in
Wellington where people moved downtown complained about you know, Courty
Place and or the noise coming from it. And look,
it is a slam. Don't you look at the economic benefits?
(05:07):
And you know, they keep pointing out that I think
concert what ninety eight percent of hotels were full for
that concert and you know, Taylor Swift comes and it
makes sense that they, you know, their plan is that
it's not going to be all those different events. It's
going to enable the big arses to come and say
you two or three concerts, so you don't have all
that set up and then we're resetting up and everything
(05:28):
like that. It minimizes it. So yeah, look I think
they should canvas the locals. But oh man, there's debate
over that that Eden Park and that exactly this issue
has gone on for years and have never already resulted.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Yeah, but isn't that degree though, Mark, You know, I
know we have the same issues with wood for glenn
Art here with people living around a motor around a
place with cars that's noisy, But isn't a degree Eton
Park is mainly or has been, a sports venue. When
you go to one concert each month, that could be
going up until eleven at night and incredibly loud and basy.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Isn't that a different kettle of fish?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Especially I suppose when you've got a toddler or a
little one, you're trying to get to sleep, right, all
of a sudden, it starts to become more problematic. It's
happening once a month.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Now, yeah, and that's exactly right. I think it's I
think it's degrees. And look, it's a residential area.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
If you want something like this, because the economic benefits are.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
So great, build something that is more appropriate away from
where the house afford it.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Stop it, I mean listening. This is my solution to it.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
All right, this is my solution idea.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
If you don't like it, sell your house and move
your double gramozoons. You're going to make the mind anyway,
what do you think, Oh, it's your.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Home, it's your area, it's where you grew up.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Why should you have to move just because someone wants
to make a topload of money.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
No, Alie, you're the one here.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
For thousand should fourteen thousand residents sort of frustrate the
hundreds of thousands are going to benefit from it. Remember
we went through that, Remember that we're going to have
the big stadium down on the waterfront. Oh in there
flying in a holly cop around there with the mayor
at the time, and this is where we're going to
build it, and excited. What year was that, sayes tho,
Oh that was when laboring and there was Trevor Maller
(07:08):
and they got all hot and keeping.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
On it, and then it's just like, look, pushed away,
it's never going to happen. Hey, listen, I want to know, Ali,
what do you make of the UK sending that keyboard
Warrior to the slammer for fifteen months? It's massive.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
I think it's fabulous.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Honestly, these bloody people that sit at home and anonymously
pump out this this awful, putrid stuff. Look, I applaud it,
and I think it should happen.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
More and more.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Can you see people through the little cameras on their computers.
Surely there's a way to monitor this and get more theater.
You're like, oh no, you've got to listen to the
Eden Park resons. Now you want us to spy on
people through their cameras?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
You know what, keyboard.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Warriors are just obnoxious. They've got no time for them
at Allericknzaeso.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I mean, I think it's amazing how these people slip
into this. I mean you look at that woman and
she you know, she was just someone sitting at her
home on the computer. She doesn't get out and do things,
you know, But I think he had got on them
because they have to do something. They had to say, Look,
we're not going to put up with this, and you
start with you know, if you're going to write that
stuff in planeatry stuff online, you're going to be held
to it. Now, people sill. You know, some people get
(08:16):
away with it, but I'm with it. I think it's fantastic.
So they said, we're going to send a message. You
do this kind of rubbish, you're going to pay the
price for it. Go, oh, you're some poor miss guide
to you know, you know, someone sitting at home with
nothing else to do.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yeah too right now, listen, it was it Bill Browder.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Maybe you're a p J O'Rourke, p J o' rook
that somebody takes.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
That in so was a PJ O'Rourke.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Yeah, it was PJ Rourck holidays and hell and he
would he would head off to the war zone, some
different stuff. He's a really interesting guy.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Actually, yeah, it would be after that. Hey, guys, thank
you so much. It was lovely to chat to the
pair of you. Earie Jones, Mark Sainsbrow Huddle coming up
