You're listening to a podcast from news Talk, said b

Used Talk said, be you Talk.
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. Now the parole rules. Of course,
every now and again somebody gets let out and parole
and does something terrible and then everybody decides they want
(00:44):
everybody locked up forever.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
So that's happening again.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
The Ratri is being retired with no immediate replacement. That's
causing issues and consternation. Marcus dipped into the women's state
of origin last night and parking woe with Matt and Tyler.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
At the end of the pod.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
But first up, let's celebrate Trump's first hundred days. How
awesome have they been?
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Not only did he invite Trump for a second state
visit and also hand deliver a love letter from King Charles,
but now it turns out he's personally working to secure
a golf tournament for one of Trump's golf courses in
the UK. Now, watching this right, watching the way that
these two behave and what happens from here is not
just an academic exercise. It's actually going to be probably
(01:38):
a good idea for what for us to watch in
order to figure out how we should be dealing with
Donald Trump, because clearly there is divided opinion within even
our government as to what to do here. Chris Luxan
obviously wants to take a stronger stance, hence the old
phone call the other day to various world leaders trying
to start some sort of a thing. And when Ston
Peters clearly wants to lay low, hence him telling luxeonof
in public. And there is mountain I would say, mounting
(02:01):
international pressure to stand up to Trump. Malcolm Turnbolt, former
Pro Minister of Australia, has piped up in recent days
saying New Zealand needs to be tougher and not appeas Trump,
and China just popped up the other day, if not yesterday,
urging other nations to stand up to Trump's bullying. Now,
for the record, I actually think Winston's right here. You
can only stand up to a bully if you are
(02:21):
roughly of the same size, and we are very much
not of the same size as the US, and you
can suck up like Keir Starmer but I suspect bullies
don't respect that, and I think it's working out that
way because the free trade deal with the UK is
not going to happen fast, is it. So that leaves
you with the third option, don't draw attention, wait for
the dust to settle, and then pop up and say
the right thing when the time is right. And that
(02:42):
is the option that Winston has picked, and I wouldn't
be surprised if it actually works out to be the
smartest moveable.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I feel like a country of our size can definitely
get away with keeping your head down and hoping that
nobody notices you. That's certainly been my secret of my success.
If you can call this success, suppose you.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Can news talk has it been now?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
So? Yeah, we've got parole problems.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Q calls for the whole system to be tipped upside down.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
And here's the problem. Corrections knew he was quote a
high high, high risk. Any young attractive woman near him
would be a target. Poor Juliana bonnella head Eda. That
was the woman she lived next door. She didn't know
about his past, and Corrections somehow didn't know she'd moved
(03:40):
in next door to this animal. Now, since we spoke
about this the other day. A couple of things have happened,
couple of updates for you, And this is where Mitchell
comes in. This guy was on parole right, which means
he's been let out of prison early. Could still be
in prison, but you're not because we've let you out.
Now you wonder how many other high risk offenders like
(04:00):
this guy are released from prison early. And is this,
you know, a good idea? Well, a senior correction staff
of this week says they're regularly being let out early
and let into the community, not just people like this guy,
but people with quote even higher risk Here's what I
(04:21):
reckon This case and a long list of parole botch
ups before it are all the evidence you need that
we can't trust the system once these guys make it outside.
The government should immediately pause the release of high risk,
violent thugs into our communities. Everyone loves to talk about
(04:43):
safety first. Well here's a bloody good place to start.
This ticking time bomb is in Mark Mitchell's la.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
So yeah, I don't know the details of this case,
but you'd have to assume that whoever's in charge of
letting these people out early, you know, went through some
processes and you know.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Follow some kind of guidelines.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
And you know in this case got it wrong. Is
that maybe? Yeah, by all means, look at those processes
and guidelines, But I think a lot of us jump
to conclusions and these sorts of matters without actually knowing
all the exact details of the case.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
I'm not saying that's what I happened here, but it
feels like it to me. Right. So we've got a
theory that you can put trains.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
On unfortunately as old and fall into pieces, and so.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yeah, they're not going to use that anymore.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Unfortunately that means that trains won't be able to go
across the cook straight anymore.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
Is a problem.
Speaker 7 (05:55):
Winston Peters says, well, we're going to shift it onto
the other fairies. We're going to use coastal shipping and
that should cover the loss of the aratti. Do you
accept that this is so? Are we going to see
(06:16):
one hundred and twenty million dollars of lost business for
those companies that need rail enabled fairies to get their
goods across the ditch, the tiny little ditch that is
between the North and South Island. Would it have been
a good investment for one hundred and twenty million to
be spent to keep the Utteriteddy in service, you know,
(06:38):
when it's not running aground, to be fair, because it
does have a bit of a habit of doing so.
But as Winston Peter's right to say, not one cent
more to have temporary infrastructure put in place to keep
the Utiteddy going, it is better not to spend that
money and have the utter Teddy retire early. Do you
(07:01):
think there is a case to be made for keeping
it sailing until such time as the new fairies arrive
or the new porter's built.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
So the weird thing about that is that Carey's producer
saved that audio as Aura Terrri retiring, not Arrah area
if you like, and that, and then they had me
second guessing myself because I've been spelling it a r
A and I used to live in Aterriv in Hamilton.
(07:34):
I'm pretty sure I would have noticed if the fairy
was called Ada Terry, which is that it's Uto thirty.
I was right, and they're on that never happens. Hey,
Marcus was a little bit distracted watching the Women's State
of Origin last.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
Night, and the Women's State of Origin, one of the
one went to the references she's been eye gouged. Yeah,
true story. They're probably be more about that halftime. She's
kind of upset about it. There's no nonsense. And the
commentator said about one player, she said, that's the sign
of a woman that's been got a ball on your
hand twenty four to seven, which I thought was a
(08:10):
strange thing to say because no one's got a Well,
it was just sort of weird thing to say. I
think sometimes commentators run out of things to say that
they're useful, but like radio people, they.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Not me, you're run out of things to say. I mean,
I've never seen anything useful. So I guess he's kind
of does have a point there. How is he listening
to what the commentators are saying while talking on the radio.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
That's an amazing bit of multitasking, if you ask.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Me, news talk.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Has it been? Right?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Let's finish up talking parking psychology with Matt and Tyler.
Speaker 8 (08:45):
Now I've got a question for you, Matt, about the
psychology behind car parking. Okay, so it's usually a supermarket
where this happens that I, like many others, I like
to park as far away as possible from other vehicles, Right,
I'll find a wee spot where there's nobody else.
Speaker 9 (09:02):
Is that because you aren't a very good parker and
you're worried about dinging someone and you're scared to do
a proper parkwatch.
Speaker 8 (09:07):
I'm just not a very social person, you know. I
just want my own little space, and I think that's
fair enough that I'm allowed there if I spot it.
Speaker 9 (09:13):
So I go and park this when my son try
I'm teaching my son to drive. At the moment when
he does that, when we go into a parking lot
and parks miles away from the other cowds, I say
to him, Son, that was a cowardly park.
Speaker 8 (09:23):
Man up, Son, Yeah, well, I don't man up. I
go and find a week cowardly park even if I
have to walk some distance to the supermarket, just because
I enjoy that space. And then, you know, I sit
in the car for a couple of seconds while I
brace myself before going into the supermarket. But time and
time again, when I do that, so there's nobody around,
completely free, I'm the only one there. As soon as
I park and give it ten seconds, then some numpty
(09:46):
comes and parks right next to me.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
What is that about?
Speaker 3 (09:48):
There's some sort of psychology.
Speaker 8 (09:50):
Going on here, and I don't want it.
Speaker 9 (09:52):
I think you're confusing parking with the urinal. When you
go to a line of urinals, you go as far
away from the person as you can, and you only
go beside them.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Win.
Speaker 8 (09:59):
We can all agree on that one.
Speaker 9 (10:01):
Yeah, Yeah, I think you're confusing cars with urinals. People
can park wherever they want. You should if you're out
on the roads, you should be able to handle getting
it in our parks, no matter how tight the park is.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
Isn't that slightly weird though, because I'm not talking two
parks away from me, or even one park.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
They're right next to me.
Speaker 9 (10:16):
Like we're car park buddies. Now, the prickly little man
you are, don't park near my car.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
It's not your.
Speaker 9 (10:23):
Driveway, it's it's the supermarket car park. People can park
wherever they want. But as I've said up before in
the show that the premium car park in the Supermarket
is not the one closest to the door, or the
cowardly park you like with the least chance of you
having a dingle.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
A peaceful park. Yeah, the premium.
Speaker 9 (10:39):
Park is right beside the trolley return. Yeah, so you
can wheel back put your stuff in and then if
you're right beside the trolley return and then you slide
that in there. That is the smart place to park.
Speaker 8 (10:48):
If everybody just goes and parks where met sees, that'll
be good and just leave me alone if I'm just
by myself a prickly little man.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I am one hundred percent with Matt Heath on that
that is my preferred park next to the trolley return. Actually,
at Packing save Silverdale, there's a row of parks that
are next to the footpath.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
And also next to a trolley return.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
So if you can back into those, that's your ideal scenario.
I'm not generally a fan of backing into parks, but
I will make an exception for those very interesting being
in Australia or recently and how their angle parks you
back into them. That the angles are the opposite angle
to here in New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
You don't drive ford to.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Drive And that's a discussion for another day. Isn't it
which is the best method?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Because I can't.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
It goes against everything I believe in to say that
the Australians are doing something better than we are.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
But I kind of get it. I kind of get it.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Anyway, whichever angle you packed at, have a great weekend
and we'll see that ken with a weekend edition of
Newsborks You've Been on Monday.

I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
