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.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Rep there, welcome to the rewrap for Monday.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
All the best buts from the mic asking breakfast on
News Talk sed B in a sillier package, I am
Glen Hart and today youth crime. Oh it seems to
still be having How can that be if mat Mitchell
said a letter insurance?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
You remember and when Mike had that insurance issue when with.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
The cyclone hit at the beginning of last year.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
It's still got that insurance issue. How much is your
degree worth?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Particularly if you're in Australia And I'm worried about Mike
on his stationary bike before any of that. The White
Tangy Tribunal, Mike, we really got to be in his
bonnet about the White Tangy Tribunal.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Now for a government looking to save money, beggars believe
that they haven't had a decent look at the White
Tangy Tribunal. You see them again on Friday they strike,
this time a report that condemns the Treaty Principle's Bill.
They condemn it and they want to abolish it. Travelers
there is no such thing. There is no such thing.
The tribunal is like a court. Fortunately it doesn't have
the same powers as a court. And indeed, as a
result of the reports like this, you can surely argue
(01:35):
it's now nowadays a little more than an advocacy service
for the aggrieved as opposed to a tribunal or a
court that should be taken seriously. Such as their interventionism,
they border on being little more than state funded winges
these days. How can you, as a tribunal of any
serious standing, issue a report into a bill that does
not exist? There is no bill, there are no clauses
as we sit here today. What we have is an idea,
(01:57):
an election commitment, a promise. Nothing has yet been written,
taken a cabinet, fairly assigned off by cabinet. It does
not exist. So what the tribunal are saying is we
don't like the idea court's. A tribunal should deal with fact.
They have no fact. They should deal with evidence. They
have no evidence. Missus Johnson in the library with the candlestick.
I assume David Seemore as Missus Johnson, the Parliament's the library,
(02:18):
but they have no candlestick. They have as they would
see it, or as you and I would see it.
No crime. Not only isn't there a bill. When there
is a bill, guess what you get to have a
say at select Committee. Everyone gets to have a say.
Dare I suggest Mary might get to have a say.
That's called democracy, which ironically is a cornerstone of what
may or may not turn out to be the Treaty
(02:40):
Settlement's Bill. David See more generously on Friday, welcome the
report as part of the wider discussion he wants to have.
But as a taxpayer, I am over a grouping who
clearly have passed their use by date for historic grievances,
which is what they were set up for in the
first place, and have moved on to grievance gravy trains.
It is clear they hate the government. They may as
well write another report simply saying so. At least it
(03:02):
would once and for all expose the agenda that really
drives them.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I guess I just don't fully understand and how the
why tany tribune all affects me personally on a day
by day basis. But I guess that's why I don't
have an award winning number one in New Zealand breakfast
show by my hosting does because he understands these things
and that's why he explains them to me, and I
don't explain them to him. Rewrap rather disturbing news out
(03:31):
of road over the weekend. I'm not sure why Mike
felt he had to bring this little tidbit to our attention.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
I'm reading this morning. Couple of boys, good weekend down
at the Rota Ua auto House, Lake Road, smashed the window,
walked on and stole a couple of dirt bikes valued
at four thousand dollars. They're on CCTV because none of
these people are that bright, so they were wandering around
picking the bikes they wanted. The thing that makes the
story slightly different is their age six and ten. Six
(04:02):
and ten, So small are they the bikes they picked
because they're thick. They couldn't even carry them all walked
them because they couldn't handle the way six and ten.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Moadorbikes are surprisingly heavy.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
I always remember I am accidentally knocked my brother's murdorbike
over once and I sort of caught it, and by
that I mean I was kind of.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Like underneath that pushing it and.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
It became very quickly went from me trying to stop
the bike getting damage to me trying to stop me being.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Crashed to death and calling for help.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
I'm not sure how old I was, but probably somewhere
between six and ten, right remember cyclone Gabrielle. While back
there beginning of last year, I believe still some unfinished
business there.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Apparently we're standing by our house at the moment for
at the insurance company to come back to us on
a request for some coverage. They're sending it off upstairs,
apparently because we made a claim last year as a
result of the Summer of doom and half the region's
rain came through the back door. Anyway, I was figuring
given them the grand scheme of things. It's very minus
claim and that is the amount of mucking around they're doing.
Policies for people with actual claims that involve big bucks
(05:13):
and major repairs must be a nightmare. Which brings us
to the survey from the insurance companies that tell us
some interesting stuff. Eighty percent of us are against developing
in risky areas. Now this is where surveys fault badly.
I mean, what is risky? What's a risky area? And
who decides what the risk is? Four and ten rate
the government's climate action is poor, which presumably means six
(05:33):
and ten think it's fine. Forty percent of us aren't
convinced climate impact can be reduced, and I think I
could be in that category. But once again, what do
they actually mean? I mean, if I buy an EV
do I think I'll save the planet. No, If they
don't stop building on floodplains, then we're still going to
get flooded. Yes, So then eight percent eight think we
should all pay for risk. In other words, even though
(05:55):
I am sensible and I'm safe, I still need to
pay for idiots on cliffs and riverbanks. So fortunately, on
that last one, at least most of us are on
the same page and are taking a realistic view of matters.
But too many of these big decisions, if you think
about it, are made by councils. Where to build, what
the risk is, what the mitigations are. And here is
the simple truth. Most councils aren't up to much. History
shows us this. If you rely on a council, you're
(06:17):
going to be disappointed. I mean, ask the victims of
Hawk's Bay and the Auckland Anniversary events, how their council
interactions are going. Two years on. Insurance is an issue
for the age, and I'm not sure we're even close
to being on top of it. The day is coming
when cover will be either rejected or too expensive, the
uninsured will be growing in numbers. The pressure will be
on the government to cover the difference. We will look
(06:37):
increasingly like America. We are not prepared, sort of light,
not being insured when the storm comes, and that's.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Before you get to the risk of the solar storms.
Don't forget those all kinds of bad stuff that can happen.
I was reading a sci fi book the other day
about a couple of neutron stars exploding adjacent just to
our galaxy and the damage that that then sent shock
(07:05):
ways through and.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I'm reading those ITTs of books.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Maybe I should rewrap now. A long time listeners to
the show will know that neither Mike nor I went
to university, so we haven't got degrees, not even honorary ones,
which seems a bit rude. But anyway, in Australia they've
got some stats out on exactly what your degree is worth,
depending on what it is.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
So big debate in Australia at the moment, I don't
know why we're not having one here is that the
arts degree has cracked fifty thousand dollars. In other words,
three years of university at sixteen seventeen thousand dollars a
year cracks fifty thousand dollars, and suddenly they find that unacceptable.
They're starting to argue that that's debt for life, that
if you come out of university with an arts degree
and owing fifty thousand dollars, that there's no way in
(07:51):
the world you will ever pay it off. What I've
told my kids over and over and over and over
and over and over again is the numbers you see
when you're nineteen twenty, twenty one to twenty two in
terms of being gargantuan, are not the same numbers you
see when you're forty two to fifty two and sixty two.
In other words, you know, life has a way of,
you know, putting things into place. So then we get
to the business of do you need to go to
(08:12):
university and what are your chances of a job, which,
to my mind becomes even more interesting. So the highest
degrees are the ones you've always thought dentistry, medicine, all
of those sort of things. Our medicine is one hundred
and one thousand in Australia, engineerings one hundred thousand, computings
ninety six. But then do you get a job? And
I just wonder whether anyone thinks about this where we're
sort of been going through at our house for the
(08:34):
last couple of years. And there's an argument that says
you're on a pathway, you're one of those people who's
going to university, or you're one of those people who
isn't one of those people who wants to get out
into the world and just do your own thing, or
whatever the case may be. But nevertheless, do you think
about when you go to university what you're doing, why
are you're there, what it's costing, what are the chances
of your employment, what are the opportunities out the other side?
(08:54):
And in my experience the answers no, there's a lot
of kids at university who are simply there because they
haven't worked out what to do in life. Are there
there because their mates are there. They're there because they
get to drink a lot of drink and get drunk
every weekend and get away from mom and dad, and
you know, all of that sort of stuff happens, there's
a few people have got their act together and work
it all out. So the employment rate in Australia, and
there's no reason to believe it's any different here is
(09:17):
if you do pharmacy, rehab medicine, you're going to get
a job. You're almost guaranteed a job. Teaching, you're almost
guaranteed a job. Veterinary science, engineering ninety percent rate. If
you're in pharmacy, that sort of job, it's ninety five percent.
So in other words, you're coming out, you will find work,
and chances are reasonably good paying work. But creative arts
in Australia fifty four percent employment rate. In other words,
(09:38):
you might you might not. So you've incurred fifty thousand
dollars in debt, you might or might not get a job.
Do you really want to be in the creative arts
or did you just take that sort of thing because
you were bored and you couldn't think of anything else.
Communications sixty four percent chance of employment. Not high science
and math sixty nine percent chance of employment. Okay, humanity
seventy one percent. So I think half the problem is
not the cost and it's not the debt. It's what
(10:01):
you want to do with it and where does it
actually take you, as opposed to you just fronting up
at the age of eighteen or nineteen and thinking, oh, well,
we'll see how it goes.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
I think it's a little bit different in Australia because
I think they decided that there was no value in
the arts at all, and they really incentivize people to
do so called useful tertiary education and not so much
the you know, things like music, things like art, things
(10:30):
like performance, because you know who really needs that in
culture anyway. We just want to make some catch right
the rewrap and in order to do that, you just
got to keep pebling dot.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yeah, keep on peddling. Get that water chap.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Mike is like involved in riding this bike. No, John
john Ford Terradale's at the whole dealership.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
So you're doing at nude, not doing at nude.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I'm just some some casual attire topless though it's a
bit warm after a while. If you average three hundred
wats for an hour, you'd be above average. I'm above
average day. But don't you don't you question with that.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
I'm a We've just researched the role.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
It is a is.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
It really so? In a single stroke moving forward you
head it boom boom, and as long as you're moving forward,
that's that's what a stupid rule. I could have used
that several times when I did exactly that, but I
didn't know that rule existed. It strikes me as a
ridiculous rule. I always thought wattage was more about your
peak moment, like your surge, like you know the cycles
on the on the American's cup, your search you go
bank hard, far short, and you measure your maximum wattage.
(11:31):
That's what I thought.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Wow, you just thought they had a bit of space
on the little monitor, and so they put a thing in.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Fair enough read the watts MX racer here eight hundred watts. Rubbish,
absolute crap. What's your bike? My it's an efefit. I
thoroughly recommend effeit discovered it purely biked and think of
think my wife discovered it. But it's it's a bike
with a screen. Screen. The brilliance of the screen as
you're not bored, and you can go anywhere in the
world and you can do any sort of cycling. You
(11:59):
can do sand, you can do rocks, you can do
river beds, you can do mountains, you can do snow,
you can do road, you can do short, you can
do long, you can do fast, you can do slow,
different types of bikes, mountain road, the whole thing. So
it sort of keeps you interested. And there's a couple
of New Zealand versions, and then there's a couple of
people who have been around Lake Wanaka, and there's a
New Zealander who does a Swiss series that you're in
(12:21):
the mountains of Switzerland around Mont Blanc and those sort
of places in New Zealand are doing that. Some of
them are entertaining, some of them aren't. But it's well
worth doing. It's an easy way to keep yourself fit
and healthy.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Yeah, then went on to tell Mike about my swifting experience.
I had to go over a swift bike for a
while there. It's the bike's not actually as lyft. You
just download the app onto an iPad and stick there
in front of you and you don't you're not restricted
to just go to real places on your bike. I
told him about the sea through the track above Central Park,
(12:55):
so as you're riding around Central Park you can look
down on it from above. That was quite fun. There
was one that went underwater as well, and like tubes,
glass tubes underwater, it's pretty cool. I get back that
really because I'm really really unfit right now and I
need to get myself fit. And it was kind of
my best my favorite kind of exercise, which is not
(13:18):
being aware of exercise while you're doing it. That's that's
what I like best.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
I am Glenn Hart. Hopefully I'll be back here tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
I say hopefully because I can say I'm just really
really unfit and now I was standing to worry about it.
I don't think my wattage is up in the three hundreds,
let's just put it that way. But yeah, hopefully I'll
see you tomorrow.

culture anyway. We just want to make some catch right
the rewrap and in order to do that, you just
got to keep pebling dot.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yeah, keep on peddling. Get that water chap.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Mike is like involved in riding this bike. No, John
john Ford Terradale's at the whole dealership.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
So you're doing at nude, not doing at nude.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I'm just some some casual attire topless though it's a
bit warm after a while. If you average three hundred
wats for an hour, you'd be above average. I'm above
average day. But don't you don't you question with that.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
I'm a We've just researched the role.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
It is a is.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
It really so? In a single stroke moving forward you
head it boom boom, and as long as you're moving forward,
that's that's what a stupid rule. I could have used
that several times when I did exactly that, but I
didn't know that rule existed. It strikes me as a
ridiculous rule. I always thought wattage was more about your
peak moment, like your surge, like you know the cycles
on the on the American's cup, your search you go
bank hard, far short, and you measure your maximum wattage.
(11:31):
That's what I thought.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Wow, you just thought they had a bit of space
on the little monitor, and so they put a thing in.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Fair enough read the watts MX racer here eight hundred watts. Rubbish,
absolute crap. What's your bike? My it's an efefit. I
thoroughly recommend effeit discovered it purely biked and think of
think my wife discovered it. But it's it's a bike
with a screen. Screen. The brilliance of the screen as
you're not bored, and you can go anywhere in the
world and you can do any sort of cycling. You
(11:59):
can do sand, you can do rocks, you can do
river beds, you can do mountains, you can do snow,
you can do road, you can do short, you can
do long, you can do fast, you can do slow,
different types of bikes, mountain road, the whole thing. So
it sort of keeps you interested. And there's a couple
of New Zealand versions, and then there's a couple of
people who have been around Lake Wanaka, and there's a
New Zealander who does a Swiss series that you're in
(12:21):
the mountains of Switzerland around Mont Blanc and those sort
of places in New Zealand are doing that. Some of
them are entertaining, some of them aren't. But it's well
worth doing. It's an easy way to keep yourself fit
and healthy.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Yeah, then went on to tell Mike about my swifting experience.
I had to go over a swift bike for a
while there. It's the bike's not actually as lyft. You
just download the app onto an iPad and stick there
in front of you and you don't you're not restricted
to just go to real places on your bike. I
told him about the sea through the track above Central Park,
(12:55):
so as you're riding around Central Park you can look
down on it from above. That was quite fun. There
was one that went underwater as well, and like tubes,
glass tubes underwater, it's pretty cool. I get back that
really because I'm really really unfit right now and I
need to get myself fit. And it was kind of
my best my favorite kind of exercise, which is not
(13:18):
being aware of exercise while you're doing it. That's that's
what I like best.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
I am Glenn Hart. Hopefully I'll be back here tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
I say hopefully because I can say I'm just really
really unfit and now I was standing to worry about it.
I don't think my wattage is up in the three hundreds,
let's just put it that way. But yeah, hopefully I'll
see you tomorrow.
