Used Talk said, be you talk.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the Bean for Friday.
First with yesterday's news, I am Glen Hart and we're
looking back at the Thursday. So yeah, youth job seekers.
The government's trying to sort of shuffle them off their
boxing onto the parents' box. It's been one of the
stories of the week. We'll look at that shortly. The
ocr went the way a lot of people wanted it to,
(00:46):
so that's good. I suppose netball very bad. I think
Marcu is going to be lamenting what's happening there. And
they were discussing shares these and other similar sort of
casual market investment systems on the afternoon show yesterday. We'll
(01:08):
get into that too. But first up, Oh no, not
another hark. You're in the house.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
It's it's not on Jerry Brownlee. The speaker said, on no,
not that, and he said that was not the agreement
that had been struck. But they didn't stop. They basically
ignored him. He got to his feet, at which point
the house is usually supposed to stop everything it's doing
and go quiet to allow him to speak. They just
completely ignored him. He threw his hands in the air.
(01:33):
He then suspended the house, walked off and the camera
feed cut. He's comeback subsequently, very unhappy about it, and
I'm going to bring you up to speed and all
of that now. The thing is, though, before you get
angry about it, don't bother wasting energy on being angry
at the Maori Party for doing this, because that's a
kin to wasting energy on getting angry at an alcoholic
for getting drunk if you put beer in front of them,
or getting angry at a toddler for packing a tantrum
(01:55):
if they're tired. This is what the Maori Party does, right.
This is the stuff that they thrive on. They thrive
on performance, they thrive on sticking the middle finger to authority.
It's basically what they would call their co poppa. I'm
just surprised that Jerry Brownly got hoodwinked so easily into
making an agreement with them and thinking this wouldn't happen,
or maybe he didn't, or maybe someone in Parliament didn't
(02:16):
get hoodwinked, because it looks like someone was prepared for this.
As soon as that Haucker started, the Cameron never cut
back to the Maori Party or the gallery. It stayed
on Jerry and as soon as he suspended Parliament, the
feed cut. Now what that means is you never really
see the Maori Party doing the hucker or anyone doing
the hkker. You can just can't hear it in the background,
but you can't see it. That basically robs the Maori
(02:38):
Party of the ability to do what they did previously.
Strip the crisp professional parliamentary TV feed, put it on
their social media and hope the thing goes viral. It's
not going to happen this time because that footage is
not there for them now. It is not ideal obviously,
having Parliament's rules broken like this for obvious reasons, but
it is not unexpected. So I think, given all things,
(02:59):
the best outcome may be the one that was achieved today,
which is just a blackout.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I have to think on days like that at Parliament,
majority of the miss get home and their partners or
family or whoever's there, if there is anybody there, says
how's your day, honey, and they I don't even want
to talk about it. It was so stupid.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
News talk been right.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
One thing that Parliament has managed to do is make
it harder for kids to leaves call and go straight
on to a benefit. What does Ryan think of that?
Speaker 5 (03:42):
But here's what gets complicated. It turns out that around
half that number are getting the dole not because they
can't find work, but because they can't work like physically.
Have a look at the Wind's website. It lays out
the criteria for you. You basically have to prove the
reason with the doctor's certificate. Basically you can't work full
time because you have a disability, an injury, or a
(04:02):
health condition which prevents it. They mentioned things like chronic
stuff like hemophiliacs, smith sufferers. Here's the rub. If little
Johnny can't work and we accept that because a doctor
has said so, and the point of cutting Johnny's benefit
is to encourage him to work, then we have an
obvious problem. You can't encourage somebody to work who can't work,
(04:24):
can you? This makes no sense. Either the government is
not believing the health conditions are real or not that serious,
or they're saying that parents on sixty five thousand dollars
a year should be financially responsible for their kids until
they're twenty, even if those kids can't work for good reason,
which I think is a bit unfair. Johnny's parents didn't
(04:47):
choose I'm sure to have a disabled child or a
kid injured in a car crash at home in the
prime of their lives. Ministers, I think need to either
explain this announcement better or pull a swift U turn
before the ink drives on it.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Ah. Life is complicated, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
And this is the problem.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
When you're trying to run a try of over five
million people. There's always going to be exceptions to the rules.
Nothing's black or white, and that's why, you know, you
have to discuss all this stuff, and everybody find reasons
not to do things, and everything gets watered down. And
(05:28):
basically National's promises of fast tracking and barnicle scraping and
car removal from ditches, it's over promising, That's what that is.
You talk now, So I think most people, but most
people aren't from anyway. Most people aren't surrounded by thought
(05:51):
that the OS cut was good news, not a moment
too soon.
Speaker 7 (05:57):
One said it should stay on hold given the recent
spike and inflation and the fact that the oser cuts
to date have yet to work through the economy. Cities
always recover last, you know, the out on the farm
when they've got good prices. It slowly starts to trickle through,
but the cities recover last. So stimulate but not too much.
(06:22):
Nikola Willis has directed her pointing finger in the direction
of councils and says rates are having a disproportionate effect
on inflation. Other sectors are stabilizing. But really it's a
confidence game, isn't it. We've got to feel confident and
that we're not clawing our way through each and every
pay cycle before we can start spending, and businesses can
(06:45):
start making profits, and voters have to feel confident and
businesses have to start doing better before national can be
confident about not being a one term government.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
It does sort of seem to be a state of
mind thing, doesn't that the economy. Like, you know, if
you're feeling good about how your life's going, you go
out and buy stuff, and then the person you're buying
that stuff off goes, oh, so I was ofing today,
And they feel good and they go out eyes stuff
and so on and so on, and money, money, money,
makes the worldware around. So yeah, come on, everybod, do
you just think positive? Nothing much positive coming out of
(07:19):
netball at the moment?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Is there? What a chaos?
Speaker 3 (07:24):
I mean? I guess the good news is it gives
us an excuse to word use the word shool.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
Also very hard for us in this position to know
what's going on. I know who's been treated wrong and rightly,
because as I say, we've got no idea. There's been
no great well I can see there's been no great
expository articles on the whole situation. But Dougie's talking a
(07:51):
lot about nitball. I see it as a sport that's
not growing. I see as a sport that probably five
countries in the world play there any good and that
would be New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, England and Jamaica.
And I think anyone with a real talent will be
(08:13):
into basketball as soon as they can because they get
the scholarships the colleges and the States. And I think
basketball is a fast growing game. I don't think netballers
don'tink neiple's ever going to become a global game. But
these things certainly don't help because it makes us look
as the whole thing's a bit of a shamozzel because
(08:36):
we're going into the trends, testament cup or whatever it is.
I understand with a temporary coach. That's just my take.
I don't know what the netball numbers are doing, and
you think they presume they're down.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Now you're not going to believe me. But I had
no idea that Marcus was going to use the word
shamozel there after I had already used it twice going
into that. You're just going to have to take my
word on it, I'll promise you. I didn't know what
were we talking about?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
News talk has it been?
Speaker 3 (09:07):
And they were talking about the sheer actually speaking of
people buying stuff of people and money, money, money making
the world go around as we were before. Isn't it
great that everybody can just bet on the on the
shear market now with these apps. I think Anne Marie
(09:28):
absolutely loves Chass.
Speaker 8 (09:30):
I'm so pleased you're talking about this because about April
this year, my eighteen year old son was talking about Cheesys, etc.
And I must have had a I don't know what
I do, but I just react and I went to
my bank with true all my savings, which was quite
a bit and you get the old drama, why are
(09:51):
you're taking it out? And I said, well, that's not
your business, that's mine. So anyway, I took it out,
put it on Cheers's. But I've done a lot of studying.
People have got to get onto the Sears's and then
go through the business. You can actually work out how many,
what they do, all the rest of it. So I
did that and my god, I have doubled my money
in four months, which is absolutely over the top. My
(10:15):
main my main person that I backed was an in
the cargo boy called Peter Beck.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
That's done pretty well.
Speaker 8 (10:23):
You know, some of the best things that come out
of southernd We are always just you know, yeah, yeah,
we do this bloody amazing, what a great business. And
I'm just suggesting any person with a bit of cash
maybe put it. You know, I get him here. It's
you have doubled the money. And I studied the gold
(10:43):
and Silver. I got that when it was down. It's
the whole world. What's going on with the world at
the moment. I've in New Zealand, believe it or not,
we're actually not going back bad compared to most of
the countries in the world. They are bankrupt. Money means nothing,
It's just paper. But if you invest right, and if
(11:05):
I can do it, anybody can do it.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
So have we solved the problem of the youth job
seekers there? Then? Can we just give them a little
a little lump sum, tell them to get on the apps,
and away they go. They don't even have to leave
the house. I think it's an elegant solution, isn't it.
Don't be a job seeker, be an investor, get onto
(11:29):
the Shearsi's problem solved. I am clean hart a blue sky.
Thinking for another day and we'll be back with more
creative solutions to the world's problems. With a weaken edition
of Newstalks. They had been on Monday.
