You're listening to a podcast from News Talks ed BE.
Follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on
iHeartRadio rewrapod There.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Welcome to the rewrap for Monday, all the best butts
from the mic asking Breakfast on News Talks EDB and
a sillier package. I Am Glen Hant. Did they Mike's
isolated out a couple of interesting personalities from over the weekend.
We'll find out whether for good or for bad reasons. Nursing.
There's something wrong with nursing, which Mike also wants to highlight.
He always wants to highlight what's happening with formula one.
(00:48):
I'm a bet over it, to be honest, and should
we all just in our fifteen year olds on trips
around France. But before any of that, Yeah, the councilors
versus the government, this keeps roiling and boiling on.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
I don't know if they actually got around to it
in the end, but at the local body meeting last
week there was a remit devote on Maori wards and
what to do about them now that the government's change
the law. The problem being they couldn't do anything about them,
of course, because thement Government's changed the law. The law's
the law, but in the remit was everything that's wrong.
Of course with local government, they waste time. What's the
point of a debate and a vote on a thing
(01:23):
you can't change. It's probably why the Prime Minister's message
about waste didn't go down that well. They didn't get it.
Worst of ball, they don't want to get it. The
idea of basics is beyond them because once you move
beyond basics, you enter into the world of the fifetom
and a lot of them are driven of course by
power or perceived power and influence. The concept of rubbish
and Burm's illness boring. Hence, councils have entered into the
(01:43):
world of many central governments, which is why the real
central government plans to cut deals around funding that is
a little short or brilliant, because one it solves local
issues by opening up the money tap, and two allows
Wellington to control the crazies in the region. The West
Coast Council, for example, for their cycle bridge. Now that
where surely is we all got sympathy. So if you
don't know the story, the bridge is closed because it's dangerous.
(02:06):
It's four million dollars to fix it formllion dollars is
a four percent rate rise. The bridge links are wider
tract for cycling. These cyclists don't pay rates, so the
council has no money. The tourists no longer come for
the scones and the coffee in the motel rooms. That's
not their fault, but it is their problem. So that
is how and why the government's idea of deals is brilliant,
because that's the sort of common sense that can make genuine,
(02:27):
tangible differences. And as I've said a million times, the
reason broadly councils are where they are is because one
no one votes and to those who do voter, activists
who support other activists and try hard and do goods
are not all obviously, but too often we are over
counseled and overrun with the ordinary and the idea logs
running those councils. That is why they're broke, and everything
(02:48):
is broke in. If Wellington can solve some money worries
while also pulling some strings, we will potentially all be better.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Can I just give them a bens back, That's all
I want. I just give them a bens back around
where I walk the dogs. So I can put the
poo in the bin and I don't have to carry
it in my pocket any longer than I have to have.
I gone into too much detail there.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Maybe it's a rewrap, right.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
So a couple of people caught Mike's eye over the weekend.
His I or has ire.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
A couple of people came to my attention over the weekend.
One good, one suspect one Shawn Johnson. It was a
weird send off. He deserves so much better. The weather
it was shocking. Or you can do nothing about the weather.
Of course, the loss you can, though. We will either
end the season with twenty one or twenty three points.
The two points for sure are coming from the final
round by of course, sort of sums up the season,
really doesn't It ends with a whimper. Shawn's farewell was
(03:41):
a whimper as well. The loss was a microcosm of
everything that's gone wrong this year. Too many mistakes and
an inexplicable loss of form. Fairy Tales should end at
least with the trip to the playoffs in a high
drama playoff game at that at home, as your final
winning act for a side that essentially you've spent your
whole career Rapp it wasn't to be. It doesn't diminish
what he contributed over the years, of course, it just
(04:01):
didn't turn out to be what it should have been.
And then two we have Carmel Sepaloni and her Treasure
Island adventure double dipping. She's giving money to some charity.
The charity i read yesterday doesn't know this, which led
me to wonder to myself whether the charity was the
last minute sort of idea when it became a little
bit public that Carmel was being an MP, being paid
to be an MP while also being paid to be
(04:23):
a contestant on a reality television show. If there is
a defense, it's that MPs are employed in a weird way.
You don't get holidays per se, you don't have annual
leave leavers granted by the party. And this is where
poor old Chippy's been thrown under the bus by Sepaloni,
who was super fast and pointing out one he granted
the leave too. He knew about the money. In three,
was enthusiastic, had not be amused by it all. Here
(04:43):
is the trouble with it. It simply reminds us we
have too many politicians, but not enough to do. And
that's even worse than opposition. Their reputations are not that
stellar to start with and not helped. When you do
choose not to work, you do it on the tally
earning money in an exercise that, let's be honest, is
a bit low rent. No one thinks better of her
or her leader because of this.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Of course, I'm assuming that you know people like Rodney
Hyde and David Seymour. I didn't get paid for dancing
badly on TV. I think that money that I went
to charity didn't that I don't make, I don't know
appearance fee. I'd like to think not not for what
they did. Rewrap right now. I don't think we've quite
(05:25):
sold the nursing shortage in New Zealand, which is weird
because it seems like we might actually have heaps of nurses.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Here.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Here's Mike to explain.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
One of the weirdest stories of the weekend. And it
might be my ignorance here, but let me give it
to you. So there was an open day, if you like,
a job day organized by Health Dack for nurses, unemployed
nurses looking for work. And did they turn up? My god,
did they turn up, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of them,
lines snaked along the corridor, up the steers, long before
(05:55):
the thing I even opened at ten o'clock. Opened at
ten o'clock. Why does something open at ten o'clock on
the weekend? Why are they waiting till ten o'clock? For
God's sake? Anyway, sheer numbers reflect they're all immigrants nurses
in this country. Who are immigrants? Now here are my questions?
Why do we have so many immigrants in this country
who are unemployed? How do you get into this country
(06:17):
and be unemployed? Now here's what I think the answer is.
I think the answer is that when you go to
apply for a visa to come to the country, they
look at and go what are you? And you say, well,
I'm a nurse, and they go, po, we need a
lot of nurses. Come on it. So you arrive, but
then you can't get a job because no one's hiring.
That's what they've found out over the weekend, these people
from Australia, the US, the UK, Ireland, Singapore and Canada.
And the problem with it is the second part. You
(06:39):
come to the country as a qualified nurse, but then
you've got to requalify as in New Zealand nurse. I've
always found that to be deeply suspicious, and I suspect
union driven myself. But nevertheless, what we have clearly in
this country is hundreds upon hundreds of unemployed nurses. Meantime,
the Australians are sitting there going, oh, if you don't
came find a job in New Zealand, don't worry about it.
Plenty of jobs in Australia, and so they all wander
off to Australia. So there's something not right here. One
(07:01):
we need nurses. Two, we're not hiring the nurses we need.
Three we're letting people into the country under the auspices
that we need something that we're not actually solving the
problem with. It's too weird. Something's broken here.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I thought we'd all agreed recently that, like you know,
the power doesn't work, and the banks don't work, and
the supermacs don't work, and the petrol prices don't work.
I thought we'd all agreed that everything's broken. I visit
that the explanation, which is why we've got more nurses
than jobs but not enough nurses, that is odd. Rewrap
(07:36):
another thing that seems odd is all the goings on
behind the scenes and Formula one. I'm not a fan,
but Mike seems sadly obsessed.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Morning Mike come and aberdef one following your sports reader
always announces the winner in second place. Get it seems
to regularly leave out the Please ask them to include
the other podium when I look. I can't speak for Andrew.
I don't know what's gone wrong there, but I'll do
something with it.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I guess sometimes there's a battle for first place, right.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Well, there wasn't today. If you saw the race, there
was no battle today.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Lacli Park Park, mccarbeck in the garage.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Claire came third. Here's the interesting story. So you've got
you scrap between Helmet Marco and Christian Horner that we
told you about on Friday, and there's politics at play
hero as regards the future of Liam. So Horner tries
to explain over the weekend that Helmet Marco didn't say
that Liam's in a red Bull car next year. He
didn't say that. What he said was that Liam's in
(08:30):
ah car next year. So believe who you want to believe.
Over the weekend. Logan sergeant true to form smashes his
car under the fence yet again, and this time in
spectacular fashion. He's already been let go for next year
and James Valles, who runs Williams, is so over him
because of the cost of repairing the car. The word
is that Sergeant's going to be let go as of
(08:52):
now and they will have a new driver as of
next week. Who is that new driver? So could be Schumacher,
could be Antonelli, or it could be Liam. So we
watch for the news this week.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
So I've got another theory about the first and second
thing because this time it was a big distance, right,
So that's significant because he won by so much, so
it doesn't really matter who came second. It's just no okay,
I'll keep working on it. We just so you know,
just to update you on that. We eventually came to
the conclusion that and our medal Telly at the Olympics
(09:25):
was a clear example of this, whereas mostly gold and silver,
mostly gold. Let's be honest, we've just decided we're not
really that interested in coming third anymore anybody who does.
And we're moving on from that the rerap. Right, let's
finish up with asking the question whether or not it's
all right, so I mean reasking it. Really we did
talk about this a bit last last week, but Mike's
(09:48):
really taken hold of this story now and it's giving
it a new lease on life. Is it all right
to send you fifteen year old to Europe by themselves?
We'll not by themselves with a sixteen year old, so
you know, let's not exaggerate things.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Tell me why this story hasn't been all over the place.
So Kirsty Alsop, who we all know in this country
from location, location location, if you know a bit about her,
she's a libertarian type person. She's anti woke. She's into
you making up your own minds, doing your own things,
and she gets herself a little bit of coverage in
Britain from that view. Anyway, she lets her fifteen year
(10:24):
old kid wander around Europe over the summer period. Kid's idea.
So son comes up and goes, listen, can I do this?
And she goes, why not? Goes with a sixteen year
old friend. He's fifteen, friend of sixteen, So they visit
Paris rail They do it by rail, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin, Munich, Marseille.
To loose Barcelona in Madrid and decided to allow him
(10:47):
to go because society is quote unquote increasingly risk averse
and children needed to develop the confidence that only comes
from trusting them. What an excellent line. My son is capable.
It was his idea, it was his plan, it was
his savings. He came to me and said, can I
do this? And I saw no reason for saying no.
(11:11):
Now I this is what makes the story so interesting.
You put yourself, as a parent in exactly the same position.
If your fifteen year old came to you and said,
how about it? What would you do? And my aunt's
would be obviously, the first thing is what sort of
fifteen year old are they? Because there are fifteen year
olds and there are fifteen year olds. You'd need to
be a pretty cool fifteen year old to have the
confidence and the kid to be able to do it.
(11:31):
She does good honor, and guess why she can do
that because she's the parent, she's in charge. If you
followed this morning's news, the authorities have come calling, of course,
and knocked on the door, and they're not particularly happy.
In fact, she's profoundly shocked. The Kensington and Chelsea Council
informed her that the matter had been referred to social services.
So her parenting is now being called into question by who,
(11:54):
the Kensington and Chelsea Council. So ask yourself the question,
what would you do if you had a mature, sensible,
intelligent fifteen year old and they came to you and said,
these school holidays coming up than September. I wouldn't mind
jumping on the inter island or I mean they wouldn't
go very far if they were on the Endore Island,
or of course wouldn't get anywhere. But you know, in
(12:16):
places where the public transport.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Works, terrible, terrible example.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Exactly they were they jump on a bus. Actually hold
on now, they wouldn't work.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Either, see the north over the brin douan, Wait a minute.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
I would say, so, if your fifteen year old comes
to you and onces ago anywhere in New Zealand, don't
worry about it because they're not going to get very far.
But in countries where transport works, what would you do
and would you and how affronted would you be if
the council game calling?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Well, surely most people. I mean, like if it happened
to me, My kid came to me and said you're
off bar bye. Yeah. They wouldn't even get the proposal.
They say, Look, I was just wondering if I could go,
And as soon as they got as far as go,
I'd say.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Yep, go. It's amazing. I write your chick. Whose side
are you on?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
I mean, I think probably the biggest disappointment there for Kersey,
Cercy or Christie. Also, I don't know if she is,
but some people seem to like the program she's on.
The biggest disappointment for her is probably not that she
is now being hounded by the authorities over this, is
that Oscar came back, who was probably hoping that she'd
never see him again. But anyway, I am a glenn heart,
(13:23):
terrible parent, I reckon a silver medalist when it comes
to podcasting at least, So therefore I warrant your attention tomorrow.

she's a libertarian type person. She's anti woke. She's into
you making up your own minds, doing your own things,
and she gets herself a little bit of coverage in
Britain from that view. Anyway, she lets her fifteen year
(10:24):
old kid wander around Europe over the summer period. Kid's idea.
So son comes up and goes, listen, can I do this?
And she goes, why not? Goes with a sixteen year
old friend. He's fifteen, friend of sixteen, So they visit
Paris rail They do it by rail, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin, Munich, Marseille.
To loose Barcelona in Madrid and decided to allow him
(10:47):
to go because society is quote unquote increasingly risk averse
and children needed to develop the confidence that only comes
from trusting them. What an excellent line. My son is capable.
It was his idea, it was his plan, it was
his savings. He came to me and said, can I
do this? And I saw no reason for saying no.
(11:11):
Now I this is what makes the story so interesting.
You put yourself, as a parent in exactly the same position.
If your fifteen year old came to you and said,
how about it? What would you do? And my aunt's
would be obviously, the first thing is what sort of
fifteen year old are they? Because there are fifteen year
olds and there are fifteen year olds. You'd need to
be a pretty cool fifteen year old to have the
confidence and the kid to be able to do it.
(11:31):
She does good honor, and guess why she can do
that because she's the parent, she's in charge. If you
followed this morning's news, the authorities have come calling, of course,
and knocked on the door, and they're not particularly happy.
In fact, she's profoundly shocked. The Kensington and Chelsea Council
informed her that the matter had been referred to social services.
So her parenting is now being called into question by who,
(11:54):
the Kensington and Chelsea Council. So ask yourself the question,
what would you do if you had a mature, sensible,
intelligent fifteen year old and they came to you and said,
these school holidays coming up than September. I wouldn't mind
jumping on the inter island or I mean they wouldn't
go very far if they were on the Endore Island,
or of course wouldn't get anywhere. But you know, in
(12:16):
places where the public transport.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Works, terrible, terrible example.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Exactly they were they jump on a bus. Actually hold
on now, they wouldn't work.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Either, see the north over the brin douan, Wait a minute.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
I would say, so, if your fifteen year old comes
to you and onces ago anywhere in New Zealand, don't
worry about it because they're not going to get very far.
But in countries where transport works, what would you do
and would you and how affronted would you be if
the council game calling?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Well, surely most people. I mean, like if it happened
to me, My kid came to me and said you're
off bar bye. Yeah. They wouldn't even get the proposal.
They say, Look, I was just wondering if I could go,
And as soon as they got as far as go,
I'd say.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Yep, go. It's amazing. I write your chick. Whose side
are you on?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
I mean, I think probably the biggest disappointment there for Kersey,
Cercy or Christie. Also, I don't know if she is,
but some people seem to like the program she's on.
The biggest disappointment for her is probably not that she
is now being hounded by the authorities over this, is
that Oscar came back, who was probably hoping that she'd
never see him again. But anyway, I am a glenn heart,
(13:23):
terrible parent, I reckon a silver medalist when it comes
to podcasting at least, So therefore I warrant your attention tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
I'll see you there. For more from News Talks at

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
