Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean for Friday.
First of yesterday's news. I am Glen Hart and we
are looking back at Thursday. Eden Park could be doubling
the number of concerts at holes. That's very magnanimous of it,
isn't it. The public service keeps leaking things to the
(00:44):
press to try and sabotage various reforms. Is that going
to work and delivering babies in strange places? But before
any of that, Yes, just a little bit more on
the old surprise OCR cut.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
And in July things loosened up even more, with the
Central Bank stating that monetary policy will need to remain
respond detrictive, but that the extent of this restraint will
be tempered over time consistent with the expected decline in
inflation pressures. We had been led to believe that we
would not see cuts until next year. I'm not sure
(01:24):
these statements had enough detail to make anyone think otherwise.
This was Adrian All defending the communication over the last
six months of that have led to this ocer cut.
This is what he had to say to the Mike
Hosking breakfast this morning.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Nothing we do today is going to affect Gooday's inflation.
So we're always looking forward. What have we seen here?
We're seeing more spare capacity of the economy taking out
some of their inflation pressure, and we're seeing global pricing falling,
and we're seeing business pricing behaviors changed dramatically, a new
(02:01):
zone all for the positive or consistent with Wonder's three
percent inflation.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
So the cut is a good move. The Reserve Bank
have read the economy correctly, but were their intentions clear
to you? Have you been able to read between the
lines and make decisions that will allow you to benefit
from this cut and ongoing cuts over the coming year.
The news yesterday a step in the right direction, a
new direction, But interpreting the Reserve Bank statements is becoming
(02:28):
a little bit of an art. Maybe some pictures would
have been helpful after all.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, I mean it was patronizing when he said that.
You know, perhaps these people need pictures. But to be honest,
I have no idea how any of the stuff works
and what he's talking about, And really he needs to.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Get with it.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
He needs to get a TikTok going break it down
to some sort of thirty second posts, you know, with
those crash Edits subtitles, some fun graphics and emojis. That's
what he should be looking at.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
News talk.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Has it been right?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Eden Park concert venue or sports ground? Sometimes neither of
those things because the residents just find everything a little
bit noisy and disruptive. But apparently here's actually the chance
they're going to double the number of concerts.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Holy how it's much easier to get to and from
eden Park than it is Mount Smart Mount Smart for
a really really big show like a Harry Styles. I
went there for Harry Styles. Absolute pain in the butt
to get in and out of Eden Park. You can
just walk, just walk for two and a half k's
and you're in a bar and pond Smby then you've
got the capacity thing. Mount Smart can do about forty
(03:44):
thousand people for a live show. Eden Park can apparently
do more than fifty thousand, which obviously means more money
for Auckland City, which is a bit that I'm rarely
interested in, specially given where we are with an economy
at the moment. The hotel occupancy for Pink, which was
the last big one at eden Park, was apparently ninety
seven percent in Auckland. That people staying in hotels represents
people coming in from somewhere else, right, so they're bringing
(04:06):
their money from other places in the country in the region.
It'll be even more money flowing in for cold Play
later this year because they're only playing Auckland. They're not
playing anywhere else in the country. So if you're in
New Zealand you want to see them, you're coming in
and they're playing three shows. So actually, so far Eden
Park is doing good things for Auckland's economy and just
to underscore the value of the place. Think of the
(04:28):
biggest events that we've had on Auckland's calendar in the
last week, while we had Harry Styles, we had Pink,
we had the Fee for Women's World Cup, and we're
going to have cold Play soon. Three of those Pink,
the Women's World Cup and Coldplay, all of them at
eden Park. After Coldplay, what's on Auckland's calendar as cool
things to do outside of the regular stuff like the
tennis Nothing, there's sale GP and then there's nothing else.
(04:51):
So I'd argue we actually need Auckland Park to have
some more concerts because they attract the big stuff and
who would turn up the money that comes with it.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
So I think what we've learned there is that here
that goes to a hell of a lot of concerts.
He loves to concertate. I'm so over concerts. When I
did go to pink at Eden Park earlier in the
year that and it was good, I'm over it. I'm
over it. I don't she found it easy to get
in and out of.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I was coming from a little bit further away than
a ponti be bar. Maybe that was my problem. I
should have just gone to a pontibly bar.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
The talk sib.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
What does Marcus feel about it? Be interesting to know
in his view from the deep South about Eden Pack concerts.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
And this is the people right around New Zealand, from
Rocky or north. Who do you want to fly to
walk in to see? For those twelve Who's I mean,
I'm sure everyone's seen id Shearon, what's the other one?
They were like limbiscuit that wouldn't fill a stone? Who
would be the stadium fillers? Because bends don't exist anymore, Adele,
We've done that, Ied Shearan, We've done that. Elton he came,
(05:56):
got stand up, pneumonia is gone?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Who was it?
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Is it the peace Train? I've been a little Who
do you want to see it? Because you've got to
have someone over two nights seven hundred? Who is that person?
Is it Raygun? Probably going with the memes, It probably
is Reygun, although she hasn't got much material as she Sprinkler, Wombat,
(06:22):
Kangaroo because Tata can't come because it's none of accommodation
for people. We've heard that the boss heard that for
the manager doesn't work out. So who do you want
to see at eden Park?
Speaker 7 (06:34):
You see?
Speaker 6 (06:34):
What would I travel for? I mean probably with the
kids as a family. The only person that would get
us to eden Park would be Eminem. That would be
the situation for us. I can't think who else would
get us their journey? Maybe for one song, but.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
What a song?
Speaker 6 (06:57):
What a song?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Can you have an eclectic mix when there's only two
things in the mix M and M or Journey and
journey for just one song? And also Eminem is a
family outing you sure Marx's kids are quite young, no idea.
(07:19):
They were Eminem fans at an early age. Good like
I say, I wouldn't. I don't even want to travel
to Auckland for a concert and I live in Auckland
more or less. Right now, the public service versus the government,
(07:40):
it's a difficult situation, isn't it? When the public services
versus the government?
Speaker 8 (07:45):
It was like.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
The potentials there have been less functional than normal.
Speaker 7 (07:50):
Latest thing, you've got a health news inland manager who
did a PowerPoint to ninety staff about upcoming changes. They
indicated that jobs could be cut, including get this, four
hundred and seventy doctors and fourteen hundred nurses. What Who
on earth thought that was okay? Did they do it
on purpose? Is it a middle finger to the government
(08:11):
and to the commissioner less de Levy? The truth is
we don't really know at this point, Levy says, and
he's quoted a newsroom is saying, is this reluctance, is
this resistance or is this sabotage? Fair question? He's promising consequences.
It's totally unacceptable, but it's not an isolated incident. Ordering
(08:32):
a Tamadiki is another agency cutting funding left right and
center to services. I think many keywis would consider front
line like counseling the stories get in the press and
then there's a back down. And we've had public service
leaking against the government. Loads of examples, at least six
major leaks that I could recall. There was that Cabinet
(08:53):
paper on the Foreign Housing investors, the Treaty Principles Bill,
stuff that has been leaked. You can't know for sure
the motivations in each case, but it doesn't take a
rocket scientist to work out that there is huge resistance
to the coalition government agenda within parts of pockets of
the bureaucracy. They need raining in The examples here need
(09:15):
to be set, I think. And if the message falls
on deaf is, well maybe they need to be marched
out the door.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Well as if they're oblivious to what's going on, are
they even going to realize they've been fired? Are going
to have one of those situations where they keep coming
to work even though they don't work there anymore. Potentially
news talk has it been right? Have you ever delivered
a baby? I'm not talking to midwives and doctors out there.
(09:45):
I'm talking to people like, you know, police officers, XI drivers,
those sorts of people.
Speaker 8 (09:54):
One of my sons in law was looking to become
a police officer, and he said, it's just so demanding.
It was a real eye apener after being on scope
for three days. He's not doing it, he's not doing
it right. Just an incredibly demanded job. Anyway, what they
have to do on any given day, their scope of
their work is extraordinary. And I'm just reading the story
about two police officers, Constables pot of Tenny and Oliver,
(10:17):
were delivering a court order to somebody in an apartment
block and then the security guard from that apartment blocks
had quit come quickly and a woman was in the
midst of labor. There was no ambulances to just having
a baby, so they took the woman sort of basically
mid labor, put her in the back of the patrol car.
The baby didn't wait. The baby came out in the
(10:37):
back of the car and the police car. But mum
and baby are doing really well. And it was just
a really sweet story because these two police officers were
so moved by what It wasn't part of their job.
They didn't have to do it busy people. But after
hours they went back to the hospital and took the
mum and the baby a couple of gifts. One of
the officers said it was one of the best jobs
I've ever done. I had an adrenaline rush for days.
(10:58):
Or bet the baby and they took some baby booties,
we police baby booties. And the baby's called Carhudangi. It
was a gorgeous name. Cahoudangy apparently actually has some significance.
It's another shade of blue, the cloke of the sky father.
So that's a beautiful name, called the baby khoud Angie.
The mum Nora, she joked that they were going to
(11:19):
call the new baby Andrew Costa the police commissioner, because
they want the child to grow into a police officer.
Now that's an amazing but.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I thought it was because they wanted the child to
grow up to be super cadly like they missed the
opportunity to tell. I mean, they tell a lot of
dead jokes, Sion James, but some of them are just
sitting right there. I am a glean hats licensed can
tell their jokes.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
Two licenses.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I will see you back here again with a week
in edition of this who knows how many dead jokes.
