Speaker 3 (00:22):
Hello, 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 and we need to talk
about sex. Marcus has gone to the dogs. No, the
(00:45):
dogs have gone, and Marcus wants a word about it.
Why is lax and so unpopular? And how much does
a wedding cost? And can you do anything about it?
Before any of that, how much do the specials cost
of the supermarket, because apparently you think you're getting a
(01:08):
special and then you might not get charged the special price.
Can we do anything about this?
Speaker 4 (01:15):
We're small, they're big. It's David and Goliath. But we
keep getting ourselves and our politicians keep giving us this
false hope that we can punch above our weight and win. No,
we can't and we won't. And when politicians tell us
we can, it's retail politics. It's basically nothing. It makes
us feel like we have control over something that we don't.
Maybe it's time we stop the policies of false hope
(01:36):
and the politics of false hope and the politics of
bashing big business and started cutting red tape and taxes
for them instead. Now here's a radical idea, roll out
the red carpet. That's what Ireland did. And now they
have so much tax revenue pouring into their coffers they
literally don't know what to do with it. They are
drowning in tax cash. It's a low tax haven and
(01:57):
they're quite happy with that. They even went to the
EU's highest court a couple of months ago. Apple was
going to have to pay them twenty three billion dollars
in unpaid taxes. The Irish didn't want it. Imagine having
that problem, not wanting twenty three billion dollars in tax revenue.
That is a nice problem to have. Mean, so they're
(02:18):
drowning in tax cash. Meanwhile, we're squabbling over, you know,
five cents on a tomato down at the supermarket.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Ryan's drawn along bow there between Island's big tech cash
windfall from the taxes and that's being ripped off at
the supermarket till it's an interesting connection. The arguments used
(02:47):
to be their big business, so they should be allowed
to get away with it.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
News Talk, Has it been right?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Sex education in school. Apparently we're still not doing a
very Look, this is one of those stories that sort
of pops up unexpectedly every five years or so. They're
going to sort of If you.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Don't want your child to be taught the national curriculum,
you take them out of class and you teach them yourself,
and good luck to your kids. If you think the
curriculum is too tame, you can add in what you
see as the necessary bits at home. Since when did
parents consult about the English curriculum or the maths or
science curriculum. The one thing you don't want is your
(03:31):
child to discover sex through the internet. Sex education, like English,
like maths, like science, needs to be taught the same way,
right around the country so that our children have the
best possible chance of making the right choices in their lives.
Ignorance is not bliss when it comes to sex education,
and believing that real life relationships are what you see
(03:54):
on internet pornography is positively dangerous.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
It's interesting the whole thing of taking your kids out
of classes that you don't want them to go to.
I mean, I don't think it's like you know, Joe
and Clease teaching the class, you know exactly how to
do sex with his wife and the meaning of life,
which is an hilarious sketch. But yea, I don't think
(04:19):
it's going to be like that. I remember when my
kids were at primary school there was like a religious
instruction class. Surely they don't still have that, do they?
And I wanted them not to go to that. But
I think I was outvoted because it was felt that
(04:40):
the stress of them being excluded from something that the
rest of the class was doing, it's kind of worse
than being taught about imaginary people in the sky. My
argument just was that it should be all they should
you look at all religions, not just I'm but anyway,
(05:03):
they seem to have turned out morally. It's okay you
talk sen fantastic news. They've banned the greyhounds, which is great.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
It was stupid.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Marcus has got quite an interesting tag on this.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
I think it seems to me that greyhound dog racing
is very much has quite humble beginnings. I think we
know that from Coronation Street when Stan oldet Eddie Eights
had a greyhound dog that was called I can't remember,
it was called It'll come to me it's the working
(05:41):
classes of a racing, isn't it. And I guess that
there's certain people in the dog racing industry that will
be upset that they haven't got friends in high places
because the other forms of all the other forms of
racing are going to continue.
Speaker 7 (05:57):
Now.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
They've said that one of the reasons they've banned it
was on the basis of cruelty. Once you get into that,
discussion becomes quite conmicate, doesn't it, Because when there's one
thing more cruel than another. And I'm not the judge
on that, but I think you can make some fairly
strong cases of all sorts of other endeavors involving animals
(06:23):
are as cruel as this, and then you get to
the stage of live catalytic sports, which would seem unnecessary
to me.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
So yeah, I think probably the.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
People involved in the dog racing industry, I've got every
reason to feel quite aggrieved by this. They have had
a length of time to get their sport together.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
But you know, it's a disparate group.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
It's hard for a group to speak as one, and
there's betting involved, and when there's betting involved, you know
there will be cagey practices.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
You know, I'm not sure just because we're crueler animals
in other ways means that we shouldn't be in gray
own racing. I think we should just ban these things
one thing at a time. You can't, I don't. It's
complicated to try and just ban them all at once.
I guess they could have done it. I mean, this
(07:21):
is the kick ass, fastback government, isn't it after all?
In spite of them kicking ours and fast tracking everything,
it seemed to like Christopher Luxe their match Or is
this just media heart.
Speaker 8 (07:36):
These are tough times. We always blame the sitting government
no matter what they inherited. But I would add that
mister Luxon has not made it easy for himself when
he inherited our damaged economy. The Reserve Bank was already
acting on inflation through interest rate hikes. That is the
most effective lever Squeezing private debt in the economy is
(07:57):
the fastest thing way to slow things down. Private debts huge,
much bigger than government debt, so that works. But the
national the Coalition then came in and kept on with
their cost of living crisis solution, which was tax cuts
and government spending crackdowns and layoffs. So what we had
was our country having a two prong attack on inflation,
(08:20):
cost of living, and the economy. None of the solutions
made life better in the short term. It has made
everything worse. So all the people who are collateral damage
believe this government are monsters, and all the people not
affected who can see how this austerity, perhaps austerity overkill,
(08:40):
will be good for the economy and the country in
the medium and long term, they'll be thinking mister Luxeon
and his team are heroes. So here's the thing. The
government will be hoping that by the time the only
poll that counts comes round in twenty twenty six, the election,
that more voters will view them as heroes and not
(09:02):
as monsters.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
So there's This is sort of all off the back
of an article over the weekend about Christopher Luxon being
bored and insisting on being called Christopher, which I don't
think he does do anymore because I and you know,
twenty twenty hindsight and all that. But I think if
(09:23):
you go back and listen to some of my earlier podcasts,
I did have a bit to say about the fact
that Christopher Luxon used to be called Christopher, and then
suddenly when he was running the government and the election,
press was fine, and I thought that was a bad sign. Yeah,
(09:47):
either insist you're going to be Christopher or don't, but
don't change your mind halfway through. That was my issue.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
News Talk Zip been right.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
How much of a winning costs to find out? Bazaria
did the keep things under control?
Speaker 4 (10:02):
So you got married earlier this year?
Speaker 7 (10:05):
Yes, yes, I got married in tune and we did
a morning ceremony and a lunchtime reception, so we're all
finished up by four. Because we did a lunch time reception,
we didn't do any alcohol, so we had tea and
coffee and heaps of city drinks, and then we did
bread and salads and cold meats, the chicken from the
supermarket and then cold meat from my parents. I all
(10:26):
pre cooked, dished up, and then for dessert we did
just a cake and some slices for the glue wooden
free people. And I haven't heard anything from anyone about
it being bad. In fact, I've only heard good things.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Did you go off anywhere else after four?
Speaker 7 (10:42):
Yes, so we went off and we just did like
a honeymoon. But it's like a couple up to Hamner, so.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Really chill, and so there was there was no alcohol
at all involved in the wedding.
Speaker 7 (10:52):
No no alcohol, and that really cut down our coughs.
And then our reception hole, my dad was on the
truss board for the whole so we got that for
really cheap. And then we did it like a local church,
like a counky church that was like not much at all.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
And and was it a very special day for you?
Was it one hundred?
Speaker 7 (11:11):
It's really special. It was really cool because we were
able to have like enough people there that I felt
like we were celebrating, but it wasn't like we were
catering to other people's needs. So we just said what
we wanted to do.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
So if you don't mind sharing, how much do you
think that that cost?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
In total?
Speaker 7 (11:25):
That was about ten thousand, but all of that was
on my dress and my photographer.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, See you got some good.
Speaker 7 (11:32):
Picks to in terms of we didn't feel like we
had to lose out on you. Yeah, and it still
it's been a fraction of what the average price for winnings.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Are just been quite address and quite some photos. I
suppose people didn't really get a chance to complain about
the fact there was no booze at the winning true
good Busy complimented her on her dress. I mean, you
don't generally go up to the bride and room have
(12:04):
for winning and complaint with them. It's about how strange
it is that you're there mid morning for a wedding there,
let's put it better, put it down the wrong things.
But you know, I'm sure it was a fun time
(12:25):
for the dressmaker and the photographer. I am a Glenn
Hart that has been Neufald been and congratulations sell newly
words out there. Despite the fact you could never be
better get married. It's not too late to never ever, ever,
never ever had childress just surrounding you. Of that and
(12:47):
we'll see you back here.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Again, us talkers talking has it been.
