Speaker 1 (00:09):
You're listening to a podcast from News Talk Said be
follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio, Rewrap.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
There and welcome to the Rewrap for Friday, all the
best bits from the mic asking Breakfast on news Talk
Said be hosted by Andrew Dickins in a Sila package.
I am Glen Heart and today should we just sell
the coxtraight theories? I mean, I you know, not to
get rid of them, but the service. So somebody else,
you know, Andrew will explain that shortly. Have you seen
(00:48):
our guests? Where's it gone? Biden? You know, the pressure
on him seems to be definitely increasing, and how much
pressure are the all Blacks under this weekend? But before
any of that, retail crime, don't worry. The Government's solved it.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
So the government has announced a new advisory group, headed
by the chair of the Dairy and Business Owners Group,
to help ensure fewer victims of retail crime. The advisory
Group will engage directly with victims, workers, business owners, retail
experts and advocacy groups over the next two years to
provide the government with specific proposals to address urgent challenges
(01:25):
in retail crime and the man charged with chairing that
group as Sunny Kashow. We know Sonny. I first heard
about Sunny when he complained about the construction of the
city rail link and Orkland. He was the owner of
the Shakespeare Pub. The pub's business was affected by the
ripping up of Albert Street, so he brought together all
the Albert Street businesses. He was a regular spokesperson in
the media on how small businesses were getting slammed by progress.
(01:48):
Looking in on LinkedIn, he's still there. He's still a
director of the Shakespeare. By the way, the roadworks are
now finished in a new holiday hotel is one hundred
meters over the road, and there's hundreds of apartments and
new corporate offices. And I haven't been to the Shakespeare lately,
but it would have to be one of the best
located pubs in the city. So you go through some
paying for some gains, Sonny. But anyway, he has also
sought to be a candidate for the National Party and
(02:10):
he now works full time at the Dairy and Business
Owners Group, and he's been impressively determined on advocating against
retail crime, so much so he won Hero of the
Week and one of Mike Hoskins Marking of the Week.
So he's been great. Sonny's great, He's great at describing
the problem. He is great. And now he's got another job,
(02:31):
and this time from the government. Of course, the government.
He'd rather be part of his MP but it doesn't matter.
And I think though this is his greatest challenge. Paul
Goldsmith has denied the idea that the group has been
set up just to curb the criticism that Sonny and
others have leveled against the government and police. But a
lot of people are out there saying that the government
(02:51):
has offered him a job to keep Sonny quiet. And
it is true that the previous government would set up
committees with good pay as an attempt to virtue signal
issues and make it appear that things are happening and
to shut people up. So Sonny, do not shut up.
You've got nearly two million dollars of taxpayers money. Make
it work. We're all good at describing the problem. What
(03:14):
we really need is someone with answers. Sunny Ball in
your court.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah, so, I mean, nobody's complained more about retail crime
and in fact pointless inner city railroops more than Sunny
Kochal has of course, So what do you do when
somebody complains about stuff all the time. You give them
the job of making it go away. Brilliant move. Brilliant move.
We'll never hear another complaint from him ever again, because basically,
(03:39):
if he is complaining, it'll be his fault.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Rewrap.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Now, how do we solve a problem like cook straight?
We really need to. We do actually need to get
from one side of it to the other on a
regular basis. How hard is it to do that? We
seem to have been able to do it before, but
all of a sudden it seems impossible.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
A Taxpayers Union Curio poll ask New Zealanders whether the
government should sell the inter Islander or not to a
private operator. Forty three percent support the sale, thirty eight
we're opposed, nineteen unsure forty three. That's pretty big number.
The poll was conducted last week. The future of the
Intro Islander hangs in the balance. Now, this is a
fascinating question. I to this when Nichola Willis first canceled
(04:17):
KI Rail's requests for more funds for the Irex project.
I happened to be at a gathering and some of
the people at the gathering work for the government and
they work for the government liaising with Kiwi Rail and
I said, wow, is this a bit hasty or what?
And their reaction was Kiwi Rail can't just come up
with an expensive plan and just wander up to the
government and demand a one point five billion dollar top
up after already asking for a billion or so of capital.
(04:39):
That a taxpayer is not a bank of free money.
This was from public servants and I thought, yeah, fair enough.
But my thought is what would a private company do.
So some might hit up their backers for one hundred
percent of the money. Some backers might do that if
they thought the return was worth it. But in this
case the money may well future proof an investment, but
the return would be glacially slow and low, so that's
(04:59):
not likely to ever have happened if it was private.
Others might borrow the money from a third party, but
that's you know, debt, and others might raise capital from
a shaff And then I wondered, why is it not
just the ter Islander but key We Rail as a whole.
Why is it one hundred percent owned by you and
I They say the government, but it's you, And why
(05:20):
do we have one hundred percent of this company, Air
New Zealand majority owned by US fifty one percent, but
forty nine percent in private ownership, which provides capital. And
of course you can still ask the majority shareholder for money.
That's what the current Prime Minister did back when he
ran in New Zealand, and he hit us up for
two hundred middle. But rather than selling the ferries or
the whole company to a private operator, which we have
(05:42):
done once before to toll On, Wisconsin, why don't we
just float forty nine percent of it now for capital
the capital of the company needs, and the private capital
will keep the company honest, and the public ownership would
remind Kiwi round that it has to have a social license. Obviously,
I wouldn't do it right now because the market's a
bit stuff, But why don't we consider that a valid option?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
At which point I asked Andrew Rofi how does he
know so much about the ferry market? Is it the
market stuff? As he tried to sell a fairy recently.
Maybe it's hot, hot hot, Maybe everybody's wanting them, Maybe
there's a shortage. Stop being so silly, Glad it's the weekend.
I'm allowed to be rewrap. So gas is in trouble
(06:26):
or is it. We're getting some conflicting information about us.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Forget the ferry, forget the bike shop. The big story
in New Zealand is we're running out of natural gas.
Natural gas demand will outstrip supply over the next three years.
A bloat from MB says we need new discoveries or
new technology urgently, which means the price is about to soar,
which will affect customers from the largest industrials to the
smallest kitchen. I'd like to say I'm shocked, but I've
(06:50):
heard this before. We've had this headline as CAPOONI ran down.
That field was found in fifty nine, production started in
seventy four. It's described as mature, or you could also
say empty. Our biggest field, MOE, was found in sixty nine.
In two thousand and five, we were told it was
ninety two percent depleted, then that it was a bit
bigger than we thought, and then we found more ways
(07:10):
to get the gas out. Meanwhile, we're using gas like
water powering our milk factories. That multinouy synthetic Petrol project
because we thought we had so much gas. That closed
in two thousand and four. Kitchen designers love the look
of flame, and the knee jerk reaction when this came
up was to blame the last government who stopped gas expiration.
But the problems deeper than that. We've been looking for
new supplies for decades and the problem is we haven't
(07:33):
found any. So if anyone knows where the gases, could
you contact mb Hard.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
It's trying to find gas, isn't it. You can't see it.
I may have shown that I don't really know very
much about gas exploration there with that comment. Still I'm
saying right anyway, we had a guy who seemed to
(07:57):
know what he was talking about on the show this morning,
and he said, don't worry you, Holt Water's not going
off anytime soon. It's the industrial users of gas that
we might have a bit of trouble. Somebody else who's
got a bit of trouble at the moment is, of course,
Joe Biden.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
So the NATO conference is coming to its climax, and
I can tell you that NATO officials are saddened at
how Joe Biden's fortunes have turned. They're saddened that his
storyline has distracted from what was supposed to be a
celebratory summit, and there's a senior European diplomat overnight quoted
as saying, it's a very weird feeling to be listening
to the president of the United States and you're more
(08:37):
stressed about whether he's going to go off script than
being excited to listen to the leader of the free world.
You're worried if he knows which direction he's going, or
whether he's going to fall, or what he's going to forget,
or if he's going to say North Korea when he
meant South Korea, which could be a problem. It's just
a very weird experience.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
And yet our own Prime Minister, Christopher Luckson had a
few words with Biden overnight and he claimed he was sharp.
There's nothing wrong with him. That would have been so
awesome if he'd gone the other way and said, man,
this guy is coming big, you know, Gaga, it's so
(09:13):
much more whack adoodle than we thought he was. But
the whole world is in danger. We've got to do something.
I'm putting together a plan for his assassination immediately. Yeah,
if only he had said something.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Like that, but he didn't.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
He said he was charmed, So.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Don't worry about it, rerat.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
We're going to finish up here with a word on
the All Blacks. I think Andrew had to swerve to
avoid them on his way home last night as of
what happened.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
So yesterday I left work and I began my drive
home and I passed by Victoria Park, lovely park in
the middle of the town, and I saw forty people
in black track suits running around passing rugby balls, and
I thought, well, who could that be? Where? It's pretty
easy to figure it out. It was a big tour
bloke in the middle of it. Who's Scott Barrett. You
can't hide them? And that's right. The All Backs were
practicing in Victoria Park, only twenty people watching. This is
(10:03):
part of a new initiative from Scott From Scott Robertson.
I talked to a Blok called James Iverson. He's the
baggage guy. He said this practice is part of making
the All Blacks spend less time at buses, more time
with real people and taking away you know that aura
of well, you know, we're special and we need to
be protected. It's a game of footy on some grass,
(10:24):
he said, we just needed to find some grass. Then
the team went up to les Mills and worked out.
Then they went to Eden Park for a full workout.
Scott Robinson as a revolution. You saw that in the
post match comments the other day. So will we see
it on the field when they play tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (10:39):
And Will Will Will Will? Will we see Scott robertson
break dance? Come on? They can't go way? Can it all?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
I really care about?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I am gly and Hart. That was the rewrap. Will
be break dancing or not? I'll still be back here
on Monday, And so will Mike Hosking remember if he
used to be on the show.
