Speaker 1 (00:00):
I bet our next guest love the Backstreet Boys back
in ninety nine because he is larger than life, just
to have a look at him. Jeremy Rook's our lifestyle correspondent, Jesse,
what do you identify as awesome? That wasn't the answer.
I got a text and from my old mate Stu Duncan.
I won't name where the kid's from, but he said,
(00:20):
there's a kid identifying as a fox.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Oh just it's nonsense. I mean, it's just ridiculous. And
this white ideology that's sweet the world but is being destroyed.
Thankfully in America allows all this rubbish and this and
a carry on still is still allowed under this government,
which is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I blame I blame the parents for letting kids they
can identify as a cat when they're eighteen and they
leave home. Actually, Jeremy, just because you're sort of also,
and I'll just bear with me, I'll give you a
wee bit of Backstreet Boys for a moment, just fair way,
fair well. When the reason is I got a text
and from somebody or they're all going nuts on cats,
(01:00):
here's a text. Because you're sort of our resident carbon
farmer as well, forestry companies are still buying land class
one to four farms for forestry and carbon credits. They
are giving the middle finger to government policy and plowing on.
Another thirty thousand stock units went last week. It's corrupt,
says Dean. What are you hearing?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Yeah, I know there's quite a few places still going
into forestry. I'm not sure whether it's carbon or not,
but and I know there's been transactions including our old
place has already been on sold by the guys that
bought it in to buy pass the OIO. Now that
they're anything that's planted is now Candidas existing forestry, So
(01:44):
New Zealand companies can still buy it and then flicking
on in a year or two times. So that's probably
the next issue that's going to come up about intention.
About intention, Yeah, well, I.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Mean to be fair, if you were planting in forestry now,
you're definitely doing it for the carbon credits. Forestry per
se is not that flash at the moment. It will be.
It's still our fourth biggest export industry and good luck
to it. But the carbon credits are the cherry on top.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yeah. Possibly, but I've never really I don't understand carbon
credits I never have, so I'm not really the right
kind of talk to about that now. Honestly, it just
doesn't hit them. And how you can trade air is
just nonsense.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah, okay, well what about that? I shouldn't even ask
you because I know what your answer will be. That
the Paris Climate Accord? Where do you sit on that?
Should we be in or out of it?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Well? Out of course. And you do realize that we
were one of only thirteen countries out of one hundred
and ninety five original signatories that have re signed the
Sierramul and the government are so proud of themselves and
you're going, well, hang on to the one hundred and eighty
two countries haven't re signed or they've left, so what
on earth are we done? It is absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
It was interesting hearing. I don't know whether you heard
him midweek. I thought he offered really good commentary on it,
Bruce Cottrell. He said we need to be out of it.
He said the price, the price tag for staying in
is just too expensive for New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Well everybody knows that. I mean, it's just common sense
where we can't afford it, and seat of come on
and go oh, we're protecting our farmers by actually costing
the country thirty billion. I mean, is that any sort
of logical argument from the government. I don't think it is.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
You have been critical in recent times of our Prime
Minister Christopher Luxe, and why.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Oh, I just find him. He's just we're all you know,
look lord less, he's Donald Trump as the example. He's
coming to power with saying what he's going to do,
and he's gone and he smashed into the inneficial bureaucracy
and the wofery and jiggery pokery that goes on. And
we have a prime minister here who puts these ridiculously
stupid social media posts up trying to sort of impressive
(03:47):
run by going till that growth growth, growth, growth, growth.
I mean that's their message. He's got no message. We
just want to get on and do something to change.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
So you would, you would sooner he was like Trump
and make up an absolute lie about who started the
Russian Ukraine War.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Oh well, we're not going to get go down that one.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
But not Trump. Trump's done some Trump. Trump's done some
good things, Jeremy, but he's also told some bfaced lies.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I'm not talking about as an international policy. I'm talking
about what he's doing domestically and what what meants to
this country, Jamie, is what has done domestically and Trump's
as I said, Trump's election has given legitimacy for around
the world now for leaders to stand up because the
silent majority of people all behind the scenes to go, oh,
we need to get rid of all this race based stuff.
(04:30):
We need to get rid of this puberty blockers. We
need to get rid of this what you know, thea's
called the diversity equity implsions. Everyone knows it, and yet
Lackson won't stand up and go, well, this is this
is what we're going to do. I mean, you've just
seen the public sect, the report come out from Sir
Brian Roach, and I mean that's only the start of it.
But nothing's changing. Nothing has changed in the culture. You
(04:51):
look at all the job ads coming out in government
departments and you tell me that things are right in
this country, Well they're not. He's got people want leadership
at the moment. That's what the want and and and
lux is not projecting it.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I just got a text and Jess new Plymouth Girls
High School, and this is I take it have many
girls who are identifying as cats, have even got litter
trays and the toilets for them. What's the world coming to, Jeremy.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Well, of course, but it's the Ministry of Education or
be going. Well, that's fine, and then of course the
the principles all woe the two a fai to just
go this is nonsense, like it's just nuts. I mean,
you know, I'm a guy for bringing back boys and
girls and caning as well. I love the caning action consequence.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Then well you still you still do, don't you? What
do you mean like a wee bit of caning but
the whip but a Peter Plumley walker.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Only anniversaries birthdays?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Then good on you mate. I've got to go. Thank
you for adding a bit of levity to our Friday.
