Speaker 2 (00:19):
Used Talk SEDB Talk said Hello, my beautiful beanies, and
welcome to the bean for Wednesday, first of yesterday's news.
I'm Bean Hart and we are looking back at Tuesday.
Auckham gets a new police station, very exciting. Labor's still
banging on about the capital gains tax. We've got more

(00:40):
parking problems.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
This just is a never ending thing, isn't it. People
complaining about parking.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
And Marcus has been keeping up with the tattoo trends.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
But before any of that, very sad about Nicky Kay.
And as I've said before, my world broke.

Speaker 4 (00:58):
I tried to resign and the only reason that I
was able to become Minister of Education was it John Key.

Speaker 5 (01:04):
As I cried my eyes out, said You're not going anywhere.

Speaker 6 (01:09):
And former Prime Minister, Sir John Key is with us.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Now, Hey, John, Hey, is that what you actually said
to her?

Speaker 7 (01:15):
I think so, Yeah, I think she think she got
it right. Yeah, look when she came in the whole
thing actually is that Nicky's been a very brave little warrior.
The whole way along because while she had breast cancer,
actually the diagnosis was more serious and it morphed to
the other parts of her body, and so the prognosis

(01:36):
wasn't great. And what I actually said to as well,
I said, lot Niki, if you were married and you
had a couple of kids, I'd say to you, you
know your rolling the diece, go home and spend your
time with them. But I said, you don't. And your
great motivation and passion is helping people and doing things,
and that's politics, and you're going to beat this thing.

(01:58):
So go and take as much time as you need.
Go and get the treatment. I actually said to her,
Lot she had a great oncologist in New Zealander, so
you've got to get another opinion and then look at
some experimental drugs and the United States. But you're coming
back and that's going to give you the motivation to
get through all this. So and you know for a
very long time, you know, she fought really valiantly and

(02:19):
did well.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
So yeah, there you go. Find something to motivate you
and keep you going. Probably probably good.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Advice news talks it been.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Now we've got a new police station apparently, and this
is just gonna it's really going to make a difference.
I think we're basically going to solve crime in Auckland,
so that's good.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
Don't get me wrong. A new police station in central
Auckland is good news as we're recent stats showing crime
in the city is way down. But where are all
the wackos and the nut jobs going to go next?
That's my question. You know the ones I'm talking about.
They strut around holding their pants up with one hand,
a menacing look in their eye, shouting and ranting and

(03:10):
raving and lunging at people. They're pissing in the middle
of the street during the day, or fighting each other.
Once the city is secured, where did these people go next?
Parnell Ponsonby on a bus to Westfield New Market. If
the idea is to make a city feel safe for people,
then more cops will help do that. What they won't

(03:31):
do is make these intimidating people disappear altogether like some houdiniact.
One of the biggest problems we have as a lack
of community drug and alcohol rehab centers in this country,
affordable or free ones, and our correction system doesn't correct people.
Last year, it's spent. We learnt this this week, four
hundred million dollars of our money on rehab programs. Guess

(03:54):
how much they reduced reoffending by guests less than two
percent on most programs. So yes, we should celebrate the
fact that we're getting more cop shops, gang patch bands,
and supposedly harshest sentences violence because the last lot went
a bit soft on that. But we shouldn't kid ourselves
that it will magically solve all of our problems, all

(04:17):
those of the whack jobs on Queen Street.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Sure it's Brian got a sort of a healthy attitude
towards mental health and people with mental health problems.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
I'm not sure.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
It's looking at some of the underlying issues there completely objectively. Anyway,
it would be good. Sometimes it's difficult to figure out
how to go to a police station. I don't know
if you've ever had to go to a police station.
It seems to be harder these days than it used
to be. And I know I keep bringing this up,

(04:52):
but I've had a couple of things stolen off my
doorstep over the years, and the first time it happens,
you know, because I've got.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Security cameras and good footage and things.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
And the first time it happens, you know, they came
around and got my footage and got the guy and
I've got the.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Thing back, and you know, it was all action.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
And then the second time it happened, nothing happened, and
something change. And so if new police stations can fix that,
it'd be great. US talk sib Right, we're going to
have a look at a tax.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
No, we're not back to phsicain, are we? Yes, that's right.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
The capital gains tax, the wealth tax, labor School seemed
to be pushing this particular barrow.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Are they going to keep.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Pushing it all the way up to the election in
twenty twenty six.

Speaker 8 (05:49):
If the government is coming to us to tax us,
they have to say we're going to take money off you.
And you might not like it, but look at what
we can deliver for the whole country, for future generations
with your contribution. Look at what you can do when
we all contribute towards the country. This is what we

(06:12):
can deliver.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
And you accept that.

Speaker 8 (06:16):
You say, Okay, I don't particularly like it, but I
don't agree with everything you're doing. But I can see results.
I can see the country is improving. I can see
that services are being delivered, that people who are working
hard can get ahead, that kids can get an education,

(06:37):
that my grandmother can get a hip replacement. I can
see that it's moving in the right direction. But to
take money off us and be left worse off as
a country and as a people than when we started. Yeah, now,
she's a hard to sell there.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
It's a mysterious thing, isn't it. Am I just cloistered
in this sort of right wing world of news talks
that be talked back, and there's not a Is there
a big movement out there of people who are saying, yes,
please text us more. I can't wait to vote for

(07:16):
higher taxes.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Is that out there? I really don't think it is
so odd right now.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
I've expressed my concerns over the last few weeks about
this new guy on the afternoon show Matt Heath. We
had the instance of the noise control officer calling into
the show talking about the time he was called around
to meth at matt Heath's house.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
We had Matt Heath.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Himself confessing to stealing coffees off somebody ahead of him
in the queue at the cafe across the road, and
it seems like coffee really is his drag of choice
and ultimately it will be his downfall.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
Tell you who's doing well?

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Well?

Speaker 9 (07:56):
I think he's doing well, my mate. Over the table
where mattah, you are heavily caffeinated. My friend, you've had
enough caffeine to kill a small horse. By the looks
of it. You've got a red bull there, You've got
a massage energy, you've got a triple it spress though
ho Lee.

Speaker 5 (08:10):
Yeah, look, just give me the energy I need to
combat Auckland Transport. And they're insanely inhuman and parking forgetting
about the gray areas of humanity with their CCTV footage
pinging people and their and their mind sweeping of the
good citizens of their cities. And this isn't just this

(08:31):
isn't hey, it's as this Texas says. It's not just Auckland.
My partner got a parking ticket at a railway station
and suburb in Wellington because the front of your car
overhang the footpath. Front wheels were on the curb. Keep
up the crusade, Matt and get Wayne Brown on your show.
He seems to have a bit of common sense, unlike
the minority of your listeners that are giving you crack.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yes, we've got the It's sort of stationary road rage,
isn't it car park rage. I'm not sure what Wayne
Brown is going to do about it, given that he
doesn't seem to have done much about anything that he's
complained about.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
And have all the common sense in the world.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
But unless there is a way that the mayor gets,
you know, an extra ten votes on the councils that
he's just said, we're the change of office, isn't he
photo opportunities? And if you're if you're voting for a
guy for photo opportunities, it's interesting that you would have
voted for Wayne Brown.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
I would have thought news talk has it been last?

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Would mean just forget I said anything. I'm sorry, Wayne
didn't mean anything.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
By I'm not sure if he's got any tattoos, But
Marcus is seeing a lot of one particular one around.

Speaker 6 (09:41):
You know how there's tattoos and all you will you
will love your tattoos, don't you? What is one that
is a butterfly? Does that mean you are reborn or
you've come through a caterpillar stage and you're about to soar.
I'm seeing a lot of them and well, it's not
for me a butterfly tattoo, but there must be something

(10:02):
that talks to some people about it. If you've been
sick and a well, is that what it's about. I've
never talked really much about the symbolism of tattoos, but
I imagine there's something anked on you. It's probably put
some thought into it. So yeah, they'm curious to know
about that.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
What's it for?

Speaker 6 (10:19):
They're normally on the shoulder or the.

Speaker 4 (10:23):
Clavicle or the.

Speaker 6 (10:24):
Elbow, mainly on women maybe anyway, often wondered about that,
and it's only because I've seen so many I thought, well, Hector,
there's something's going on there. People are going through stuff.
Is it a midlife thing?

Speaker 2 (10:39):
I hate tattoos so much. I don't understand it. I
just can't put the life.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Of me believe that any tattoo that you get.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Now it's going to be as relevant to you in
twenty thirty, forty years time.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
But I think with the butterfly thing, it's one of
those things.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
I think the logic is probably after you get something
nice like a butterfly, there's nothing nicer than a butterfly?

Speaker 8 (11:07):
Is there?

Speaker 3 (11:08):
People won't judge you so much for getting our tattoo.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Like probably a little bit more palatable than like a
skeleton riding on a flaming motorcycle.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
Or something like that, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
One of my nephew's got a TOOI on his end
fuls and I think once again, it was kind of
like a loose whole thing, and oh yeah, TOOI, that's
quite cool. But it was actually when you look at it,
you realize it was the toy from the bear.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
Which is I mean, if you're going to do a bear,
why would you go with TOOI the same.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
I'd probably get some kind of milk stout, just a
bear can, like picture of that can.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
I was going to go that way. Don't worry. I'm
not going to go that way.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
But I hope you come back this way tomorrow For
