Speaker 2 (00:22):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean for Wednesday.
First with yesterday's news, I am Glenn Hart, and we
are looking back at Tuesday. Golden Parachutes will be discussing
the difference between being made redundant, resigning, retiring, moving on,
(00:46):
and the big bucks you can get paid if you
wear those things correctly, being born on a plane. So
where's a good one? And Simon eats a protein bar.
But before any of that, the government's action plan, the
Q two one and the Q three one Q two
gets a pass from the husk.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I think oil and gas for example, Nope, not the future,
but certainly needed because ideologically we're trapped into this gap
that we can't fill with wind or sun. Common sense
and logic seems to have replaced ideology. Practical governments I
think tend to be popular governments. I like the Coalition
so far as an entity, not ideal because three of
anything is generally a compromise, but so far, so good,
and this has come against a backdrop of no real honeymoon.
(01:28):
Think about it this way, no real honeymoon, and that
is in part because of the extraordinary mess that we
are in economically. It is hard to revel in a
new administration that is cutting and pruning and giving out
hard economic lessons, and yet they seem broadly to be
doing it reasonably successfully. There is a competence about them
as well, based on experience, whether political or real world.
(01:49):
Are my standouts for what there worth are so far
Peter's and Seymour. Peter's is superb on the international stage.
Seymour is driving logical, common sense change in places like Pharmak.
Willis is proving more than up to the job. Stanford
may well turn out to be a rock star, not
as high profile. But don't underestimate the size of the
change under underway in our schools at the moment. For
sheer entertainment mixed with determination. I love Shane Jones for now.
(02:13):
They seem to have momentum, they have the We inherited
a mess, so we need to fix it. Excuse so
so far as action planned, two closes in three starts,
No regrets on getting rid of the last lot.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
No regrets. Yeah, I mean, as I've been bleeding on
over the last few months. I do wonder if we'll
come to regret the whole fast tracking of things that
are to do with the environment, things that perhaps are
going to be bad for the environment in the long term,
(02:48):
but in the short term we need to keep the
lights on.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
News talk has it been do carry shar.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Any of my concerns? Probably not. Nobody ever concerns he
is concerned about the same things I am, which means
I'm probably concerned about their own thing.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
If you want to have a look at what the
government tends to do, you can see it online. If
you want to look at how well they've done, you
can see it online, and then you can make your
own judgments as well. I feel they are being transparent.
I feel they are being giving us something against which
(03:25):
we can measure them. Is that how you feel like,
whether you like what they're doing or not. Then at
least we know what they're doing, and then we can think, Okay,
they're doing a good job. They're not doing a good job.
So far, so good. They've listed what they intend to do,
(03:51):
they're following through on their plans. I mean, we can
see that with the gangs they've said that Q three
is where they're going to be focusing on the gangs
and clamping down on gang activity. The way gangs advertise
themselves through the patches, through the gatherings, and we can
judge whether they're having any effect or not. So yes,
(04:16):
I think they are being transparent. It might be a
slightly more businesslike way of doing things by setting out
a list or a forty point plan. The stats seem
to be coming through, and that was always something I
wanted the last lot to do. Show me if your
ideas are that great, show me they're working, give me
(04:37):
some numbers. And that was something that the last lot
failed to do. So so far, so good.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yeah, that seems to be the majority. Feel so far,
so good. Everything's looking good. But yeah, I just do
wonder if even fifty years time, we'll look back and
go that fast tracking. Ah, that was pretty fast that
tracking anyway, That's that's decades away. Qu's talk, sib Right,
(05:07):
So who has got the book? He's not being made redundant,
he's been fired, but he's been given redundancy. This is
a caring or how does that work? Exactly?
Speaker 5 (05:24):
The point I'm trying to make is that a payout
for a CEO of only half their salary at three
hundred and sixty five thousand dollars, is us getting away
likely to get rid of the guy, and that is
obviously what happened here. It's pretty clear he didn't want
to quit. He didn't wake up the other day and go,
I'm not really enjoying the job anymore. I think I might,
I think I might might give it up. No, what
(05:44):
happened is that Simon Mooter, the new chair, sat him
down and obviously told him, you need to quit. You
don't even try to deny that on the show yesterday
when I put that to him. If you're basically going
to fire somebody at CEO level, you need to be
prepared to pay. And frankly, this is a small change
to get that job done.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Now.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
As for this nonsense about him being given redundancy because
of the scope of his job had changed and what,
that's just nonsense. That's just absolute bs. The fact of
the matter is that to technicality that they used to
get rid of a CEO they didn't want any more
because he had to go, and he did have to
go because he ran an organization that refused to evict
thugs who were terrorizing their neighbors, that ran up huge
(06:23):
amounts of debt, that bid and paid way more than
market value for properties around the country, and that frankly
had lost the confidence of the public. Now, I do
not want to have to spend four hundred thousand dollars
of taxpayer money on something like this. I can think
of way better ways to spend that money, but to
get rid of a CEO who so obviously had to go,
I reckon, we got away lightly.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
M I'm kind of with my husking on this. You
it's a redundancy package, but your position hasn't been made redundant.
The position still exists. I don't know how that works,
and that makes me uncomfortable.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Right now.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Have you ever given birth on a plane? No? I
think this Gorman has.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
Pilot a pilot in Two Midwives.
Speaker 8 (07:11):
Yeah, there was a pilot, a very young, poor, innocent
pilot that I've ruined.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
Just trying to get his emiles up to expected because
it'd only be a forty minute flight or something, would it.
Speaker 8 (07:23):
Yeah, it was pretty quick, Yeah, it was. It was.
She was born probably ten minutes into it, just over
opal or I reckon, and then yeah, and then it
was much more comfortable after that, and everybody was a
lot more relaxed, so he settled down and stopped looking
over his shoulder after that.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
I feel for Wide Oh, I see the me is
really heartbroken by that. Are you still there, because that's
that's tough for that town.
Speaker 8 (07:43):
Now, No, I'm not there, but it still hurts when
that's still you still got Fino back there. And the
me is an old friend of mine actually, so he
might not want to know that, but yeah, I support
the town.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Well.
Speaker 7 (07:57):
Craig he's always you know, he's always there's no there's
no mirror in this country that does better for the
town than Craig little Wide Eye. He's always educating for them.
He's he's a he's a depsoute legend, that guy.
Speaker 8 (08:10):
I told them everything he knows.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
God did the mid bit you did the midwife say
that that's off? Had they delivered many in the air?
Speaker 8 (08:19):
They were very good. I said to them as I
was sort of, you know, getting a little bit touchy.
You know, we can't do this here, and they said,
you can do this we ever you like, but that
would justly make the front page of the paper.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Right. It was funny when I saw that. I thought
this is one of those situations with them. It's an
international flight and you don't know what country they're born
and because they're born in mid air.
Speaker 8 (08:41):
But it wasn't that.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
It's less interesting than I thought it was. Actually, I'm
sorry I wasted your time with that one.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
News talk has it been?
Speaker 2 (08:50):
And I'm sorry I'm about to waste your time with
this one as well. But you'd think being sorry ahead
of the time would mean that I wouldn't play it
that I'm going to anyway.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
I've just woofed down a protein bar and I basically
hoovered it up because we had the show to do,
and I don't know eating while I'm working. But it
tasted like plastic.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
And you don't eat the wrapping you.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
No, it's just that I've been reading about protein bars
and of course they're loaded with protein. Really, if I
don't have huge muscles by four o'clock, I'll be very disappointed.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Was it nice?
Speaker 6 (09:24):
No, it tasted like plastic, tasted like chemocromes. And there's
a big move for people that are, you know, like
trying to bulk up, and big move to protein bars,
and nutritionists are worried because they're sort of seen as
a food substitute, but they're not. And I can see
why that tastes like I've just eaten a shoe.
Speaker 7 (09:41):
Why don't you just eat protein?
Speaker 5 (09:43):
There's an idea, no, no, no protein itself.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Well, it's hard to get that level of protein in
a quick hit, like I have a fish, or I
have you know, salmon and chin of salmon or anyway
that's really boring. But I've just eaten this thing and
now it's sort of it's wedge somewhere between my chest
and the boughs, and it feels like molten plastic. Highly disappointing.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, it's kind of you. I guess it depends what
the point of the exercises is. Is it to take
on a whole lot of protein quickly? Then who cares
what it tastes like. If it's to have, you know,
essentially a chocolate bar, but you disguised as a protein bar,
I'd go with Musashi. I find those ones are quite tasty.
(10:33):
I used to work with somebody who was a what
do they call it body sculpting, not bodybuilding, but it
was essentially bodybuilding, and she just used to have to
eat potato and chicken all the time, all the time,
all day long. Just stick it in the microwave and
then need it. There's no way to live as a
(10:56):
dumb support that was. I just eat actual chocolate bars
and I and my chicken. I tend to spice up
a bit and only have it once a day. Again,
does that make me weird or her? Probably me? Isn't it?
It's me again, isn't it? Sorry, guys, I'll be back
with more weirdness tomorrow s.
