Speaker 1 (00:09):
You're listening to a podcast from News Talk sed B.
Follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Used Talk sed B you Talk.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean for Tuesday.
The rest of yesterday's news. I am Glenhart. We are
looking back at Monday. This GP loan scheme to get
them to start their own clinics, and we'll touch on
that shortly. Housing what's happening with the real estate market
at the moment. A lot of soul signs around my place.

(00:46):
But anyway, hunting stories with Matt and Tyler, and we'll
finish up with some podcast really ex cure to see
of markets. I know you love it. Before any of
that smoking with anybody still doing it?

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Is everybody vaping?

Speaker 3 (01:01):
Or is that uncool? Now?

Speaker 2 (01:02):
As well?

Speaker 4 (01:03):
Daily vaping for fourteen and fifteen year olds has fallen
from close to nine percent down to seven percent. Now
again that is let's be fair here, that is not
a massive drop off, but it's heated in the right direction.
Moon For a very long time it was going in
the wrong direction. The suggestion here is that vaping is
becoming less cool for kids, which is a massive win.
We are doing extraordinarily well when it comes to inhaling

(01:25):
weird stuff into your lungs. Only six point eight percent
of people still smoke. That is a remarkable decline from
the rate of around about twelve percent only six years ago.
But you wouldn't know that, would you if you just
read the endless news stories about how this government is
captured by the tobacco lobby. How we're going to miss
our smoke free twenty twenty five target and thirty one
days time because the smoking rate is six point eight

(01:46):
percent instead of five percent. How the government gave a
tax break to heat to tobacco products when actually what
they were trying to do was just give the hardcore
smokers another thing to do instead of smoking that was
less bad for them. How the government is captured by
the tobacco lobby, How the tobacco industry is interfering in
government policy. Given the number of stories, you would think
that smoking was an enormous problem in the country, when

(02:09):
it actually isn't. It is a very small problem. Now,
it is a declining problem. And if you actually want
to call it by a perfectly good descriptor, it would
be it is a success story. The tobacco stories in
this government are boring, and now we find out they're
actually also unfair.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
The funniest thing out of this whole story was yesterday
morning and listening to the the Robert Beigelhole from ash
which is I mean, obviously that name is hilarious and
nobody comments on that enough as far as I'm concon
but let's not get distracted. The funniest thing was listening
to him saying that he wasn't sure how to measure

(02:46):
how cool raping is. Now like he'd had any idea
how cool anything was. I mean, I certainly don't, but
been my name is not beagle Hole either.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
News talk Z it been right.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
So man, these gps, it just must be queuing up
to open their own clinics. All that'll definitely help, won't it.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
More?

Speaker 3 (03:11):
Not necessarily more doctors.

Speaker 5 (03:13):
They've also got the problem of trying to recruit and
retain healthcare professionals. There's a shortage of locoms and a
high level of burnout because there aren't enough people to
replace them. They're working longer than they wanted to. They've
got more difficult healthcare problems presenting because people put off
going to the doctor because they can't afford it.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Pay.

Speaker 5 (03:36):
Parity concerns are particularly severe for the very low cost
access GP practices. They can't afford to pay the going
rates in the employment market is they don't have the
ability to increase fees. So is the ability to buy
into a practice. What's holding GPS back? I wouldn't have

(04:00):
thought so that poor little targeted capital gains tax is
going to be working over time, isn't it? As more
and more policy heaped upon it onto its little fragile base.
And good luck with to Barbara Edmonds. They want to
be Finance Minister when she says not everybody who comes

(04:20):
knocking on the door is going to get money. When
you've got the Council of Trade Union's head Sandra Gue
whipping everybody up in the front rows, you bet your
bippy the firefighters and the police, and the nurses and
the teachers are going to be banging on the door
saying gimme. We've been under National, a National led coalition

(04:43):
government for three years. Those bastards have screwed us down.
We gave you support, we got you into power, give
us more. You can say what you want to get
into parliament, to get into government but once you're there,

(05:04):
there will be expectations and obligations.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
Yeah, it's actually it's one of the main problems with
the whole MMP thing, because it seems like the less
MPs you have, so the smaller bit of a prospective
coalition you are, the more wild promises you can make,

(05:31):
and the less accountable you have to be, even though
you may actually hold the balance about the whole thing
doesn't work, let's tear it all down in stead again
us talk right, where are we at? Real estate wise?
Spring has ended summers on the way?

Speaker 2 (05:47):
What's here?

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Certainly it was a hot spring and is that why
so many houses have sold in my neighborhood lately? Is
that the trend.

Speaker 6 (05:54):
Everywhere supply has been coming on. Planning laws are being changed.
You know, we've got intensification coming for the big cities
that should keep prices low or in some cases see
them full. Does that make it any easier to stomach?

Speaker 2 (06:07):
No, is write.

Speaker 6 (06:09):
Probably if it's happening, this structural shift is going to
create headaches for anyone relying on property and a boom
in property in order to get rich. Like, hmm, I
don't know who's relying on property who's relying on capital
gains for money for revenue? Well, hipkins and labor. Of course,

(06:30):
they were out at the weekend making it rain with cash,
this time on GP clinics who apparently can't get bank
loans to start practices which are effectively licenses to print money,
like the free GP visits for billionaires and the rest
of us. The policy relies on revenue from a capital
gains tax. What if those gains don't happen, or they

(06:51):
don't happen to the extent that they assume that they will.
What if the gains look more of the sort that
we've seen over the last few years, ie nothing or
losses than what? What's that old saying about your mouth
writing checks that your ass can't cash. I think that
comes into play here. Without those Golden year capital gains increases,

(07:12):
it won't just be the economy feeling their loss, but
politicians with big spending agendas also.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Does it make you feel slightly uncomfortable that Ryan said
ass rather than ass. I think it's funnier when we
use those sort of American sort of expressions, but we
says sad of ass.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
That would be my.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Heart take on that one. I've actually forgotten what the
issue was that we were talking about. Right, They were
talking hunting on the Afternoon Show yesterday, and the old
problem of people or bits of people are looking like
deer or bits of deer. That's when things tend to

(07:54):
go wrong.

Speaker 7 (07:56):
Being prosecuted killless use of the firearm. But even in
court he denied everything. And then I said to the judge,
I can describe what he was wearing. I can describe
the green tape around the front of his scope, and
the ding in the side of the stalk everything. In
the end, he said, actually, your honor, I'd like to

(08:19):
change my plea. If not guilty, the guilty, he said,
I saw what looked like a couple of deer on
the track. I bundled up my swan drye on the ground,
lay down on the track, put the cross on what
I thought was the ars end of the deer, which
was the back of my head, and he took the shot,
and yeah, that was I heard the wizard that went

(08:41):
past and the hellishly allowed crack as the bullet went
past my head. That was quite I didn't go hunting
for a couple of years after that. That scared the
living daylight.

Speaker 8 (08:49):
That be So is this a sort of hallucination that
comes in because the back of your head made it
look tiny like a deer? But do you think that
the hunter. The hunter's brain is fulling in a lot
of details because they absolutely want to see it.

Speaker 7 (09:06):
There's been tests are being carried out, and your mind, like,
I know I've shot enough deer, I I let them
go if I can't fully identify the target one hundred percent,
if there's a one percent that I'm not quite sure.
You never pulled the trigger, you know, because we're trained
as hunters, were trained to identify the target beyond all doubt.

(09:29):
But what happens is that a lot of hunters and
experience down the young hunters, they see movement and their
adamant that it's a deer, and their mind takes over
what their eyes see. And their eyes can say it
is not a deer, it's a hunter, but their mind
is saying, no, no, no, no, no, it's a deer.
It's a deer. Pulled the trigger, pull the trigger, it's
going to get away. And I've trained my son. I

(09:53):
taught my son how to hunt, and he he shot
his first year when he was twelve. And I always
said to him, you know, your second deer is going
to be right behind your first dear, It's not going
to be far away. But he shot his second deer
about fifteen twenty seconds later. There were two of them
on a slip and he said, oh, Dad, I never
thought they'd be that quick together, that close together.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
So yeah, just because some of us are ball, it
doesn't mean that we're dere and you can shoot us.
I think that's not that's not a defense. You can't
shoot the guys just because they're bald. I mean, it's
it's a moot point whether or not you should be
able to.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
But at the moment you can news talk.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
Right, let's finish up with a better podcast. Really, you
know you love it. Here's Marcus. Now, this cut here
