Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean for Thursday.
First of yesterday's news. I am Glenn Hart and we
are looking back at Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Supermarket assaults are still on the rise. What can be
done if anything?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Free speech is back at Otago University anyway, and Canadian
Geese hmm, I know, I know, we've all been thinking
it right for any of that tax memorans from the
opposition benches. This has got Ryan Bridge worried.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
If you look at the UK and care Starmer they
are talking about and it is just muffles and quiet,
secret little meetings that have been reported in the press.
The potential for an inheritance fiddling with their inheritance tax.
They have one, we don't. On Nahea this show yesterday
they were speaking about with Jeff Nightingale about the potential
(01:14):
for our Labour Party to introduce one. I hate the
idea of it. In the UK it's forty percent and
they paid seven out of a half billion pounds and death
duties last year, which is a huge increase, and this
is largely because property prices have gone up. And what
governments all over the world are doing is running out
of money and they're running out of ways to tax people,
(01:36):
and this one's quite appealing to a lot of them.
And if you look at the UK in particular, so
the number paying death duties is expected to jump from
thirty three thousand this year to nearly forty four thousand
by the end of the next parliament. And that is
a very tempting number for a government that needs new
ways of finding revenue. And this is obviously the post
(01:59):
war baby boomer generation now approaching the average life expectancy.
So look out, governments all around the world will be
looking at ways to tax us more. I'm not saying
it's going to happen here. Obviously, there was a hint
on here the show yesterday that that labor might be
planning something. I don't like the idea of this. I think,
keep out of our business please, And if somebody is
(02:21):
dying in your family, the last thing you want to
think about is the forty percent you've got to pay
to the tax man.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Right.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah, there are some things that people are just never
going to vote for. I've learned this over time, So superannuation,
don't don't you don't muddle.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Around with that and more taxes.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
People are never going to vote for more taxes, no
matter how altruistic you think society might be.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
News talk has it been.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Maybe I'm wrong. It would carry Woodham vote for it.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Even now, even the most deluded of fervent Labor supporters
must look at the money that has been wasted, the
money that has been wasted with nothing to show for it,
and it makes me want to weep. They were sensible
stewards of our tax dollars. If they or any political
(03:17):
party could show that they were sensible managers of our money.
Failure boots. Take more of my tax dollars, you know,
take the money that I haven't earned that's just come
along with the rise and property values. Bring in a
thirty three percent tax, as Ireland is doing on unearned windfalls.
(03:40):
Ensure that everyone, not just the children of property owners,
benefits from everybody, you know, as as small groups accumulated, well,
sure do it. But for Labor to suggest taking more
money from New Zealanders, with their track record of waste
etched into so many many minds, it's going to take
a very long time to forget that.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Yeah, I don't mind it.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I don't mind them reminding us how completely out of
touch with reality they became.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
And obviously still are.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I think it's good that they just sort of pop
their heads up and say random stuff from time to time,
so we don't forget. Now supermarket aggression and assaults and
you know, hassle and bassel and air grow.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Grow sure for aggression. I'm just repeating myself, now, what
to do? How can we fix this?
Speaker 6 (04:38):
What could be done to make retailers feel safe?
Speaker 7 (04:41):
I don't know. I'm not sure how you make them safe,
but I think the supermarkets need up the security sort
of styles, Like I know they've got their face recognition
out right now on the bare openny and other pieces
in New Zealand where I think repeat offenders as soon
as they walk in there get recognized and insecurity gets
(05:02):
to escort the mouth straight away. That's a good thing.
But then other things in like like just I don't know,
they need up discudios and having like like super are
I come, you know, when you walk through like barcodes
and shit, they will send off the alarms and all
that they need to upgrade all that sort of stuff, and.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
Indeed, I think that's a lot of what's going on.
I would imagine that if in a small country, forty
five million dollars has been spent over the course of
three years on one hundred and eighty five stores, you know,
that's still several million per store. So I would hope
that if that forty five million dollars has been it's
not just Earmark, they are rolling this out over the
(05:46):
course of three years to make the stores safer, then
hopefully we're going to see an improvement in these stats.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
And I'll include some of the things being talked about.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
What do you think Roger meant there exactly when he
was talking about barcodes and.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Shit that go off?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
When is he saying we should be barcoded and you
don't get to go in this margaret until it reads
your barcode. Maybe not the worst idea. I don't know
if that is what he meant, but he's a thinker.
Rode obviously by the sounds of things. So free speech
(06:22):
at university in particular, we see this from pop up
from time to time, don't we that people are booked
to speak at universities and then people at the university
don't want to don't want those people to speak. I've
always found this odd anyway, I think Otago's trying to
clean it up.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Is there. What's happening either with the details.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
I don't know if you've seen this.
Speaker 8 (06:42):
This is awesome. Their policy acknowledges that free speech is
the lifeblood of a university, that it enables the exploration
of ideas, the challenging of assumptions, the uncovering of truth
through open exchange. And it says that the university will
not restrict debate or deliberation simply because the ideas put
forth I thought by some to be offensive, unwise, immoral,
(07:02):
or wrongheaded. Amen, because that is how people shut down
debate at universities. They aren't offensive and wrong and these
guys are going that's not a good reason. Now, this
is surprisingly good, I think for a lot of people,
given how concerned a lot of people were about Otago
University getting a little bit on the woke side with
the rebranding and becoming treaty centered and stuff like that.
But really, for me, more importantly, why I'm surprised is
(07:26):
because our universities have very very quickly in the past
moved to shut down debate. Massive University banned on brash,
Auckland University basically divorced itself from the seven academics who
wrote to the Listener about matod ang Amari, and even
recently Victoria University changed a debate on free speech because
it upsets some people. This policy from Otago University is
(07:46):
so good it's going to put pressure on the other
universities to step their games up because our senior universities
like Victoria and Auckland are also working through their own
policies at the moment, because this is just something that
universities in the English speaking world are all doing. Auckland University,
though no surprise, is already well down the path of
writing a policy that looks like it's going to be
absolute rubbish. It says it's going to protect free speech
(08:09):
as long as the university can put some regulations around
what staff and students say if they think they need
to safeguard the well being of other staff and students,
which is not free speech at all. Right, it's just
going it. You might offend some people. That's not a
free speech policy. That's just carrying on with the status quo.
So Bravo Otago University, completely unexpected, and here's hoping it
puts pressure on the remaining universities in this country to
(08:31):
step their game up as well.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yeah, I've always.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Found it weird.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
You know, when you run people out of town just
because they're saying things that you don't agree with.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
It depends to a degree what those think. Ah there,
It does.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Come a point when you know, before you know it
is standing in front of a changing crowd, who is
ze ky Ling and Nuremberg. You don't want that happening. Personally,
I don't even really want a crowd and read caps
shouting out lock her up, lock her up either.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
M But you know, if you don't want to hear
that stuff, don't go. It's really when I get out
of that news talk. Has it been right?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
You've been worried about it. I've been worried about it.
We're all worried about it. Canadian geese, what's happening?
Speaker 9 (09:27):
They call them the rabbit of the sky. It's a
great expression, the rabbit of the sky. Make sure I'll
say that number of times one goose, a quarter of
a sheep, four geese one sheep. That's the equivalence the
rabbits of the sky apparently live in a gray area,
(09:48):
and no one's taking the lead to get rid of them.
Now here's something to and buckle yourselves up. They are aggressive,
they are territorial. But the staggering thing is and here's
something don't google it, but how much excreted do you
(10:09):
think each goose would produce a day?
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Wow?
Speaker 9 (10:19):
They must have very inefficient diet or they're not getting
much out of the grass they eat.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Is it grass?
Speaker 9 (10:25):
I presume it is. How much do you think they excrete?
It's an extraordinary amount.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Before we worry about the geese. Can we get the
plovers sorted out? Please? Geese? The geese don't really bother me.
And when they fly in formation like they do, it's
quite cool. Clover's just gone and the.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Next people straining the accident of is and they shit
everywhere too. I've said shit twice in the podcast. Now,
oh now I've said it three times. This is probably
going to get banned and blocked everywhere. You probably can't
even hear.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
It because I've sworn so many times.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
But that's what plovers drive me to. Clover's first. Then
worry about the geese, all right? I am glen hat,
that potty mouth gleen hat that has been used towards
They be sorry for any offense, of course, and we'll
come back.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
We'll climac that, we'll come back and see it again.
To my cident.
