Speaker 2 (00:22):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean for Tuesday.
First of yesterday's news.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I am Glen Hart and we are looking back at Monday.
We've got the story about boarding houses and how they're
not up to scratch. I'll get some first hand counts
for you shortly. The Maori party under the pump, just
as Mike Hosking predicted. And I don't know if it's
(00:51):
pump or other water bottles that Marcus Slash is complaining
about at the end of the podcast, but at the
beginning of the podcast Oil and Gas, we're jumping in
with both feet thanks to Shane Jones.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
It's just hypocritical in the extraords to say New Zealand
can't do it, but we'll get poorer countries to extract
the minds from their backyard. So long as it's not ours.
We can do it better, we can do it more expensively,
we can do it cleaner, but no, we'd rather march
(01:27):
in the streets taking selfies of ourselves doing so, relying
on equipment that's been produced by other people mining doing
the very thing that you're protesting against. It is utterly,
utterly hypocritical. I mean, you're in an ideal world. No,
(01:49):
you don't despoil the earth, But we don't live in
an ideal world. It's a hell of a lot better
than it was before we started mining and extracting, that's
for sure. And we've come to take those comforts for
granted without questioning where they come from, how they get here,
(02:09):
how they're putting our hands. You have to own it.
If you want it, you have to be prepared to
acknowledge where it came from. It's the same with anything
with you. If you choose to eat meat, you can't
then complain to the butcher that there are carcasses hanging
in the shop, which has happened you. You have to
(02:33):
acknowledge where it came from. And if we have it,
then we should do it, and we should do it properly.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
It's amazing how it's everybody, not just dark, but everybody
in the world just seems to something's changed. We decided
we weren't going to do fossil fils, and now, oh nah,
they're fine. There's been a switch there somewhere, and I
just don't know what to believe anymore.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
News talk has it been steady on Glenn It'll be fine,
wait it, Heather think.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Talked about bonds. Now he's talking about trying to give
them really, really long contracts. It's almost desperate stuff, because
I think that he can already see after nine months
no one's nibbling. And why would they nibble. I mean,
Labor has already now on multiple occasions, raised the prospect
that they are open to when they get back in
nixing the projects all over again. Now, investors around the
world are going to read that right, They're going to
(03:29):
read that on one hand, the current government is reversing
the oil and gas band, but on the other hand,
the next government is going to just put it back
in place again. Who wants to put billions of dollars
of investment in and then have Rachel Brooking from Labor
or Michael Woods from Megan Woods from Labor coming and
ban your business all over again. I mean what that
means for us, Like you know, in the real world,
let's think about that. What that means for us is
(03:50):
that short of a miracle and short of some overseas
investor taking a punt on us. We are probably going
to have to make do with what we've got. Now
that is not a good prospect because our gas is
running out faster than we thought it would. We are
facing lights out this winter because of a gas shortage.
We have been warned that. It seems to me, and
I'm sorry to say this because it's not great for
(04:11):
the environment, but it seems to me Huntley is going
to be a very busy girl earning all of that coal.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
For a very long time.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Have heard Huntley referred to as a girl before made me.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Uneasy, queezy, uncomfortable. I don't want that to happen again.
Talk now, the people are pretty uncomfortable about the state
of our boarding houses.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
What is a boarding house exactly?
Speaker 7 (04:38):
I'm living in one of these places that was a
backpackers then under the Labor government become a transitional housing
for state housing, and now under the national government it's
just a hostel, Okay.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Can I call it a boarding house?
Speaker 8 (04:49):
Is it a boarding house.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
Or it's the guy. The guy has brought two sections
that had a house on next section, then he has
built an additional couple of buildings on the property that
have their own bathrooms, but effectively it's just a room
you rent. Most of the people have just a room
and then they all share a communal bathroom. Chat to them.
It's it like and the only one that works here.
There's probably twenty twenty rooms here all up. The guys
(05:13):
on my room, there's one. I got some me and
my son to get transitional housing to stay house, but
under the mat so I don't qualify. But it was
My room was one one room and a bathroom with
a shower and a toilet, like say three seventy five.
The guys that have to share it, they're paying two
fifty twenty hundred. There's one room here, there's five hundred
bucks a week. Guy's killing it, mate.
Speaker 8 (05:34):
Yes he is coming. But at the same time, I'm
going to say, you've got a room with a bathroom
and a shower.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
That's luxury.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
That's absolute luxury.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Mate.
Speaker 7 (05:43):
Yeah, it's great. It's great except for the fact that
you're living around alcoholics and drugs and stuff. So I've
had to take my kid and send him to his
mum's because it's no place for it encourages you know
how poor alcoholism works. So me and you, Me and
you were both on the doll. I buy a box
one day, me and you drink it. Tomorrow. You buy
the box now. If there's a third person, we've got
(06:04):
three days on the piss. I literally live in a
place where these twenty people mate, you know what I mean.
So these people can fund themselves seven days a week
to just drink. There's no incentive for any of them,
you know what I mean. It's almost like you're dying waiting.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
For debt here.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
It's just a I call it the jailhouse because you
come here and it feels like there's a couple of
wardens that walk around, and it's like a prison doesn't
have the mentality of you. You're like a part of
society sort of thing. So they generally most people here
will drink piss together all day long, or do their
drugs together and stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Yeah, that it doesn't sound ideal. I'm not sure.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I still don't quite understand that that that place has
called a lot of things by the sounds of things,
is it, I don't Yeah, I still.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Don't know what a boarding house is, what they're for?
Who goes there?
Speaker 3 (07:01):
If that if that guy's staying in one of what
he's in as something else. Yeah, I'm a bit confused anyway. Now,
Mike's been on about this for a while now. He
seen it coming, and I think what he saw coming
(07:21):
was born out yesterday during the day, but when he
was doing early addition yesterday morning, it hadn't happened yet.
What am I talking about, Ah, the Mary Party and
their dodgy finance situation.
Speaker 8 (07:34):
I do remember, although this goes directly to one party
in Parliament, it potentially involves everyone in Parliament. I mean
those running the country can't be seen to be scrupulous,
then that's trouble. Surely the Maray Party themselves have not
helped to this point, with the President John Tammerherry rolling
out his standard line about all this being a race thing.
John's too angry to be credible these days. He has
this enormous chip on his shoulder and everything's a conspiracy
(07:58):
around race. I mean the irony here beating The people
making the accusations, as far as I know, are Maurray.
So it's not about Maury. It's about rules and laws
and whether they've been broken or not. Not helping is
the food and voucher giveaway. I mean, although Mary could
argue this sort of thing's cohr. The previous government set
a damning precedent where bribes because that's exactly what they are,
were handed out for vaccines and census participation. They muddy
(08:21):
the waters. But what is clear is using census and
vax information to campaign or to recruit for elections is illegal,
and that is what we need to find out did
it happen or not. There is also the matter of
SEID information then being used to contact people via text
for votes and not following the prescribed electoral laws. So
does the government pull the trigger and when they do why,
(08:41):
But most importantly for us is does it pass the
pub test? Answer? Not even close.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
I wondered on my other podcast The Rewrap yesterday, where
the people were actually talking about this at the pub.
What if they're talking about it in boarding houses as
the getting drunk and doing.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
Jokes news talk has it been.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I'm still trying to figure out that boarding house thing.
We're going to finish up here.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
They're probably not drinking gone bottles of water? Are they
at the boarding house?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (09:16):
What is slightly interesting is probably most of the waste
or a lot of the wasst we use is drinks.
Will it be a tin of fresh up or a
Bundy Bunderberg Ginger beer, or a coke or a doctor
Pepper dr pepper. I don't know what the answer is there,
(09:37):
because not even I can go and get a full
of container or a swapper crate. You can't, like, I
don't even know what their resolution to that is. Maybe
just drink water. It's probably the answer, but water is
so boring. The trouble with me with water is that
I will just Now I've got a drink it, so
(09:58):
once in a while I'll just go and fill up
a like and I just gazzle it.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Good.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
Look, look looks that I was supposed to drink it.
But actually what you're suposed to Rinka? So I sippart gradually. Well,
I'm not going to be one of those people that
walks around with a container. Doesn't all con recently for
work and I have people in the office with these
giant containers like those Stanley, I don't know what they're called,
those giant containers with a straw at the top of
my look, and I just thought, you look stupid. It
(10:27):
almost looks like they're holding a trophy. What do they
called those stupid cups, those giant insulated cup. I think
they're called a Stanley cup. Are they called a Stanley cup?
You all know about those giant insulaated drinking cups. They're
(10:48):
huge now. It's all the rage in the States and here,
but they just got out of control over there, and
I just thought, wow, it's probably what I need. It
probably saved my life. I don't know what the brand is.
What are they called those giant ones giant? I think
(11:10):
I think they are called Stanley cupps?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Am I right?
Speaker 6 (11:12):
I felt right though. I thought that might be the
name of the the stupid ice hockey thing I can
never see the ball. Yeah, they are called a Stanley
cup anyway, But yeah, I see people standing with those,
I think, wow.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
You know he's I mean, he's the Stanley cupp is
the hockey trophy as well? And unless I'm very much mistaken,
I thought that is why the Stanley Cups are called
Stanley cups, because they look a bit like that.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Is it not right?
Speaker 3 (11:46):
If I just taken and tur and made the square
root of.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Sixteen?
Speaker 3 (11:56):
There is another brand. I think Stanley cupps aren't call anymore,
but not the hockey drove the other ones. Here's another one,
and I think that's what that's why he was so confused.
And I went to look it up, and I foolishly
just googled the new Stanley Cup and it just gave
me more Stanley Cups. And that's where I lost interest,
(12:19):
to be honest, hopefully you haven't lost interest and you're
with me right now. Otherwise I'm just talking to myself
and we'll see you back here again for more interesting
stuff tomorrow.
