Speaker 1 (00:09):
You're listening to a podcast from News Talk said b
follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Used Talk said be you Talk said, Hello.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
My beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean for Wednesday.
First with yesterday's news, I am Glen Hart and we
are looking back at Tuesday. Both Chriss's went down in
the polls, but I mean, how much further down do
Chris Hapkins have to go? This kick ass fast Trekking
government wants to kick airport securities ass and fast track
(00:46):
it and asparagus talk it's never good. But we'll have
some of that at the end of the podcast. But
first up, what to do about Wellington Council, because I mean,
it's just going from one bumble to another.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Isn't it the clue that something is going to happen
and that it's on this time? I reckon? Is that
Simeon Brown is now taking advice? Now, I've been following
this council really closely since it became really obvious that
they needed to get some assistance and they're from some
grown ups, and as far as I can tell, Simeon
hasn't taken any advice up to this point, So this
is a change and it means that they're doing something.
The second clue is that Kerry Prendergast, former Mayor of Wellington,
(01:28):
yesterday said it's time to intervene. Now Kerrie doesn't speak
up unless there's a reason to speak up. She's very
close to Nichola Willis, a Wellington based MP. I reckon
she was basically sent out as a stalking horse to
start laying the groundwork for something happening. And the final
clue is one that was laid weeks ago, if not
months ago, on the show when Simeon said this is
Simeon Brown said he would be really worried if one
(01:50):
thing happened at Wellington City Council, and that was that
the council could not pass its long term plan or
make the long term plan work. That has just happened,
that happened last week. The long term plan is now
under threat, so it has to go back and do
the whole thing again. And that is the trigger, I think,
by which at which point Simeon Brown goes, yeah, it's
time to get involved. Now you heard Tim. It's clearly
(02:11):
the right thing to do because this lot clearly do
not think it is a problem to be giving tens
of millions of dollars to a Nasdaq listed company to
finally renovate their cinemas on Courtney Place in a move
that is not cost neutral to rate payers. They also
think it's fine to try to hide that from rate
payers until the decision is made, thereby kind of dicking
(02:31):
around with democracy, right, And they also don't see a
problem in the fact that they cannot actually ensure that
their long term plan is going to pass. If Simeon
Brown heard that interview, this lot would have a Crown
monitor in before the end of the month.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
It's certainly embarrassing, isn't it when you're capital city is
in such a state as chaos. Although I don't know
how unusual that is. I know that there have been
various times where like Washington, d c. Apparently has been
a complete basket case as a city just because that's
where the houses of government are doesn't actually make any
(03:10):
difference to how good a city it is. You geral
homeless situation, and you know, you get away from the
actual splash buildings and it's he's not much there, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
News talk has it been all right?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
So speaking of the government and the not government. Latest
polling shows that both Chris the the luxe and and
Trestians aren't as popular as they used to be.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
Luxeon Obviously he's like the road Runner. You haven't ever
watched the road Runner, the Looney Tunes thing, And he's
beep running around in a cloud of dust, bumping into things.
You know, get out of my way. I'm just in
a hurry to get of It's done, and off he goes.
And meanwhile, old Hipkins, well is his hard on it?
(04:01):
What do you really think when you see him being interviewed.
I mean, I've interviewed him over many years now, and
I just think it must be hard to maintain a
level of enthusiasm. But I just think he's sort of
outwardly showing it.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Now.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
You know, he'll be dusting off as CV. No doubt
he'll be thinking about what's next.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
He doesn't want to be there for the next election,
does he.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
I mean, the problem at the moment is no one
else really wants to take the job by that, because
it's a bit of a poisoned chalice. But I look
at Chris Hipkins and I think there's a man who
doesn't want to be there. I mean, that's why you
go and spend two weeks over in London at Liverpool
actually half the time. Anyway, we will watch these polls
(04:45):
with interest.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Aren't we? Yeah? Actually will we? I actually said yesterday.
I think it was in my other very successful podcast,
the Rewrap. I think it's actually more successful than this podcast.
Can you go on to that other podcast and tell
everybody to come back to this one as well. We're
not saying don't stop. I'm not saying stop listening to
the Rerap, saying listen to both of them the same thing.
(05:09):
It's just that one's got more light hosking it. Anyway,
let's neither here nor that. What I was going to
say is, I don't know how much how obsessed are
you personally with poles. I'm over them. I consider them
to be about as accurate as weather forecasts, so not
very Also, in that Looney Tunes analogy that Ryan set up, there,
(05:31):
does that make Chris Hipkins the wiley coyote? But he
just keeps ordering things like anvil and TNT from Acne
and they just fly up in his face. But as
you've got an Acne branded CGT, he's trying to keep going,
and it just turns around and there it is behind him,
(05:55):
ready to flow him up. Quite good analogy, isn't it.
What do you mean you've never seen it? I didn't
bring it up. Ryan brought it up. Talk Sid so yes,
I Bredge was talking about Laxon's road runner like fast
tracking obsession, and that's it seems to be a culture
(06:18):
within national generally, with Simon Brown wanting to not just
fast track legislation but fast track actual things like airport security.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
I am a odds though, and this might sound weird.
I am at odds with someone who knows a lot
more about this than me. You see, I'm basically my
position on my gut instinct. Captain David Morgan, he's in
New Zealand's Chief Pilot, is also operational Integrity and Safety officer,
and he's backing what the government is looking at doing.
(06:49):
Captain Morgan is saying today quite we are not necessarily
interested in delivering aviation security. When he says well, he
means in New Zealand, but we are interested in the
enablement of alternative providers for aviation security in New Zealand.
He says, we're quite special here in New Zealand special
as a unique because third party aviation security providers are
(07:11):
quite common everywhere else. He says, quote, security should be
delivered on the basis of the level of threat, and
that level of threat doesn't necessarily exist at all of
the airports that we operate to interesting approach. But even
though even though Air New Zealand's top pilot is telling
me and telling you that we've got nothing to worry
about if the government does go ahead with this, despite
(07:35):
all that, I still don't like it.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Yeah, they do have this thing in the US. You
can be pre vetted, so they check you out beforehand,
and I think they basically ask you are you a terrorist?
And you go nope, and they go cool, you can
skip the queue for a fee. Obviously. Is that the
kind of thing that we need. John wasn't the only
(07:59):
one who was talking about this issue. They They were
talking about it on the afternoon.
Speaker 7 (08:04):
Show Tyler with your Did you say they were rich chargeable?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Yeah? Rechargeable?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Right?
Speaker 7 (08:10):
Were they in the actual holder, the rechargeable holder?
Speaker 3 (08:13):
No, they were not. No, they were loose in the bag.
Speaker 8 (08:16):
And the worst thing was John, is that nobody can
see my backpack here. But there's a heck of a
lot of pockets, more pockets, you know, like hidden pockets
that I don't know about. So it took a long
time time for him to find these.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Better revoked Tyler Adams flight status.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yeah, put them on the no fly list.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
Now what they've done, and they've changed the X ray
machines from two D to three D right now, that
that takes a lot of time to go in like
three dimensional, to go through all your pockets, to pick
up everything that's in your bag. That just takes time,
and ultimately that that slows the cues there.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I had no idea that airport security is now multi dimensional.
I can see why that's got slower. When you're dealing
with the multiverse, you've got to We've had over every
possible eividuality, don't you. I got a peanut butter knife
taking off me once. That's my only real clash for
(09:15):
the airport security. You have to be pretty tillered as
a member of the flight through to be into the
intimidated by the peanut butter knight that was completing fog
and willing to so a souvenir, you know, but not
(09:37):
sharp at all, but completely flat. It's just basically like
a sort of a very small specula that's scooping as
much peanut butter.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I'm for your past as possible.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
I guess you know you often hear about that, don't
you know? Plan's being hijacked at the end of a
peanut butter night. It happens all the time. But just
as well, I'll never see that again.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
News talk, Has it been right?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Let's finish up here talking asparagus. Oh, this is the
kind of chat that gives me nightmares. Of course, the
thing we.
Speaker 9 (10:15):
Should really be celebrating in this country at this time
of the year is the arrival of the asparagus. Oh gosh,
don't you see them as shots and countdown? Don't you
see them standing proud or bundled together. It's kind of
the harbinger of spring. The asparagus. I've got no idea
what people are doing with them. But the question I
had for you to kick off, I'm of the view
(10:39):
that for an asparagus role, you'd want tinder asparagus because
it's softer and more kind of old fashioned in the
asparagus role.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Have I got that one wrong?
Speaker 9 (10:50):
Because if you just have new asparagus from the Countdown
or from.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
The New World.
Speaker 9 (10:56):
And you bore those up and you put them in
a asparagus role, the bread will not be that forgiving.
With that, well, the bread will be forgiving. Then you
get the asparagus. Actually it's too hard. You can't bare
them like they can at what He's the ones you
get in the tins?
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Perfect? Am I right with that one?
Speaker 9 (11:15):
I don't want to start a war about it, but
I reckon they're spirit I don't know what I think.
Most people just ball asparagus, eat them like that. I
don't think anyone's doing anything fancy with them. Maybe an
asparagus soup. But I want to start the show tonight
with at least one asparagus call so I can actually
tick off the seasonal advent of asparagus Day. They are
the harbingers of spring. I love everything about them.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
I love the name.
Speaker 9 (11:41):
I love the they're up the alphabetical order. I like
the fact that they come just as the weather gets good,
and I love this time of the year and the
weather gets good. If at the last two days have
absolutely made my heart sing because the spring has been
absolutely shocking.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
So yeah, I'm cockerhoop at the moment.
Speaker 9 (12:01):
Absolutely loving that.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
You see harving or harving Jeff get up man. See
he talks about asparagus, standing crowd and the adventures. But
that's not how they grow. A lot of people don't
realize this. They just to stick up random in solitary speares.
(12:22):
It's not natural. They are alien, the Devil's vegetable. Anyone
who's picked it can tell you that. I mean, you
know it's not natural. You know, just when you smell
what it does to your wheeze, you know that's not
of this earth. They should be banned. I am Glenn
