Speaker 2 (00:25):
Rewrap O. Go there and welcome to the rewrap for Friday.
All the best.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
But it's from the Mike Husking Breakfast on News Talk
SIB and a Sillier package Iron Glen and Today.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
It's not a race thing.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
The this is so many things that have got nothing
to do with race, like healthcare for example, all the
way police police, it's definitely this race is.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Just not an issue. We'll mark the week.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
It's Friday. It's what we do on Friday. We mark
the week and we'll finish up with a with a
scandal involving an outfit called Radio New Zealand that I'm
not really familiar with. But before any of that, So
Marie Ward's on councils, do they might be a race
(01:06):
thing now that I think of it.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Now the process isn't I but the Hawks Bay District
Council was the latest yesterday to confirm a decision that
they've made earlier to introduce a mari seat to their operation.
Now under this new law, if you've missed it, passed
by Wellington, the Central government. If you've done that, in
other words, introduced a new Maory seat, you either have
to drop that seat it next year's local body election
or take it to a vote. They have voted to
(01:27):
take it to a vote. A lot of councils have
done the same thing. I think in totality that's probably
the right thing to do. It's a good thing to do.
Having race based seats, of course is wrong, but at
the very least you have to give your constituents a say,
which has been the crime quite rightly identified and corrected
by the government. Part of the argument put Fordenhawk's bay,
as I'm sure it has been in various council meetings
around the country, is mari voices are under threat. Now.
(01:49):
The trouble with that is it simply isn't true. It
never has been, And in that misrepresentation of the facts
is the beauty of democracy. Democracy is alive and well
in this country. It's just sadly one of those things
that we tay for granted part of the democratic process.
As anyone can stand, anyone can have their voices heard.
Far from being under threat, they're not the fascinating. But now,
once all the decisions on elections are made, is how
(02:12):
many votes for seats will there be and will anyone
be able to actually get a majority to actually earn
a seat if every single vote votes. Know what's that
told us about the entire Mary seat exercise? Could it
be in certain areas though maybe Northland, Gisbon possibly hawks back,
that a campaign can be successfully run to get enough
numbers over the line. And if that happens, does that
(02:33):
spur others on? Could it be the democratic exercise of
actually voting leads to a growth in the number of
Maray seats. Imagine that success by election, growth by democracy,
a voice heard and acted upon in a positive way.
Surely the prospect of that potential is far more satisfying
and satisfactory legally than the jury manned mess we have
(02:54):
till now.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Well, thank goodness, this will all be over after today.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
And we never have to talk about this ever again
now that the voting's coming going end Rewrap. So yeah,
I think you probably do have to be MARII to
stand in a Maori ward, and apparently you've got to
be the right race to get the right health treatment
now as well.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I thought we had put this one to bed, but
perhaps not.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
So this is from Health New Zealand Regional Manager Living
Well Allison Russell. Zero fees. Healthcare is funded for all
children up to the age of fourteen years across New Zealand.
We have worked with Healthhawk's Bay to reset the qualifying
criteria to ensure financial sustainability of the service for our
most vulnerable young people across Hawk's Bay. So far, so good,
nothing wrong with that. From September one, eligibility will be
(03:37):
limited to young people age fourteen to twenty four who
are currently holding a community Services card fair enough, currently
reside in a quintile five area, and or have a
diagnosed long term condition including but not limited to, diabetes,
rental disease, cardia, basketah blah blah blah. Once again not
a problem or Mario Pacific arnor so up to that
(03:58):
point medically no problem at all. Suddenly race comes in.
Why next point is this? It's all very well for
ACT to jump up and down about this and go
this is not right. Actor and government do something about.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yeah, ideally we just treat everybody who needs to be treated,
and yeah, we have to prioritize anything because like just
people who need help will get out.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
But maybe it just doesn't work that way.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Rewrap right, So the racist podcast continues Today. We've got
some policing stats. Remember when they were supposed to be
so racist. Turns out nah, no, no, not.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Got some numbers from the police. This is really interesting.
Tactical options report force remains low overall. Nine percent increase
in force events seven seven hundred and nineteen last year overall.
But that's zero point three percent of all police jobs attended.
(04:58):
So you just do them. That maths quickly. If seven
seven hundred and nineteen is zero point three percent, think
about how much work the police do worldwide. They know
that other jurisdictions are seeing an increasing trend towards violence.
Gang members here accounted for nine percent of the events
as in the force events, despite making up only zero
(05:19):
point two percent of the national population. Police are forty
five times more likely to need to use force in
these interactions. Gang members are more likely to be armed
twenty five percent more likely to be armed. Last year,
there's been a slight drop in the number of incidents
involving firearms by offenders where police were also required to
use firearms. Police discharge of firearm only seven times last year.
(05:40):
Discharge only seven times taser events. Now, this is interesting
because all the whales are said it's going to be dreadful.
The number of taser use or the amount of taser
use has not changed between twenty eighteen and twenty twenty three.
Now to mention Mark Mitchell, here, Maray continued to be
over represented in the use of force events by police.
Maray account for half of them percentage of the population,
(06:04):
half of them. As Mark Mitchell says, the police don't
choose who they deal with. So that whole bollocks about
the institutional in built racism within the force is exactly that.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
They're true that police don't get to choose who they
police and who they don't.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
That's strictly I don't I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
I've given been a policeman. Sure they know what they're doing.
The rewrap Okay, so let's just have a look here,
Oh Friday, must be time to mark the week.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Come to my mic on is that the dodgy button
again could be the dodgy button last time I complained
about the dodgy button. Somebody do you want to name names?
They did the investigation. They drop coffee down at god,
all sticky and they put a new one in. Anyway,
we're am I seven twenty three Time now to mark
the week. A little piece of using current events that's
more exciting than Nobbie Clark at a potluck dinner coffee. Seven.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I don't know if we should be giving at seven
now that you said there.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Oh good point four, very good, eight ninety four, seventy five,
six twenty five. I reckon they could charge whatever they like, actually,
because we're so fit with the stuff anyway. Toast two
wat a flat example of how you lose the plot
when you're down a rabbit hole. At thirty billion dollars
a year, Health's problem is not cooked bread, so stop
saying dumb things are the Grand Tour eight.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Stead of bastard after all these yes.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
It's out this time next week. I've seen it. It
is well worth it. A Brazil three spanning X is
more about politics and cleaning up content, not that the
content doesn't need cleaning up. But read dis Silver's comments
this week on Muscard. There is your clue there, elon,
Speaking of which six called out our Prime minister on
a Asia tour this week, ask yourself how many major
business leaders globally would have the slightest clue as to
(07:45):
were luxin is right now O zimpic six this week
it sorts covid how close to a miracle potion is
the stuff? Are the all blacks?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Four?
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Ten point leads should never be surrendered? But the TMO
one if it's that inept, if it gets in the
way of a good game, what's the point Retail spending
five because although it's down for another month, is not
down as much? And then similate seven more money for Mili.
We brought a sign that the green shoots light at
(08:15):
the end of the tunnel. Whatever you want to call it,
is in fact evolving in front of our very eyes.
Are the artgoing treasury head for anyone who advocates more
taxes dangerous. But the SMP report into our economy in
debt three, the current account and counts of debt as
bad as anywhere in the whole world. And that is
a lesson and a reminder that once we get out
(08:35):
of this not to head back there again. Road funding seven.
It was a long time coming, wasn't it. Because we
love roads, big roads, white roads, roads that are loudly
go place and spring how good it is? Spring? Okay,
we had a warm winter, lovely warm winter, longer days.
Daylight saving is just a couple of days away, a
couple of weeks away. Life is good. That is the
(08:57):
week copies on the website and the metaur oversite board,
by the way, is ruled. Marking the week is uplifting, educational,
and at its best, actually a spiritual experience.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Do you think the referee rest was a play?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Sounds like a referee you bustle sometimes I think it
sounds like somebody screaming. I guess it's just when you
play things too many times, it can, you know, sound weird,
shry and move on.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Let's move on the rewrap.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Right.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
We had cheerful trouble getting our lead interview on the
Yesterday and it turns out there was a nefarious reason
for it.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I let Mike explain.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Here's a bit of insight into how the radio industry works.
Yesterday morning leads story Matt Doocy on the Mic Hosking Breakfast.
Matt Doosey was due to ring in. Matt Doocey's nowhere
to be seen. At about five minutes past seven, we
go to what's happened to Matt Doocy? We start chasing
him down. It turns out the person in his office
had written down the wrong number for him to ring,
so obviously immediate in competence and needs to be dealt
(09:49):
with forthwith do the basics brilliantly, I thought was the
National Party? It's not so. Anyway, he rings the number
that's written down in front of him. Person answers the
phone Hello. He goes Hello, It's Matt Doocy reporting for
the Mic Hosking Breakfast, to which he hears the words, oh,
you no longer have an interview on the Mike Hosking Breakfast.
(10:10):
He goes on, what's unusual, hangs up and he disappears. Anyway,
we eventually track them down and put them in there.
Whose phone number was that? Whose phone number was that?
That phone number belonged to Radio New Zealand. So Matt Doocy,
Minister of the Crown, rang up the state broadcaster as
funded by you and I threw our tax money and said,
Matt Doocy reporting for the Mike Hosking Breakfast, to which
(10:32):
point they said you no longer have an interview with
the Mike Cosking Breakfast. Now that's not true, of course,
that's a lie. They lied, They made it up and
they lied. Now, several questions for you. One, do I
secretly admire them for being so quick witted that the
first thing they do is instead of going, oh, you've
probably got the wrong number, or whoops, you've rung radio
in New Zealando, sorry, they say you no longer have
(10:54):
an interview with the Mike Hosking breakfast. That's quite sharp,
to be honest, Probably worth looking into employing that person,
whoever they were, because there are some people here aren't
remotely that sharp. Second, is it underhand?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Third?
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Is that just competition and that's life? And would we
have done the same thing if we were alert enough
to do the same thing? Fourth? Is it just pure
straight up and down sabotage? And you shouldn't line and
make stuff up that isn't true? What are your thoughts
on this?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Fifth?
Speaker 4 (11:26):
If we find out and I can who the person is,
should I name and shame them? Thoughts? Please?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Sex?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Sorry?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Should we just ring them?
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Yeah? But they won't be the same as a general line,
What if it's someone different?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Seven? Yes, was it Russian state interference?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Very good question? Hard to tell? Was there a bird
in the background?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Eight?
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Is there, like you know, an anchorman? Yes, instead of
like an internewsroom rivalry, and eventually we'll have to go
down to the oh yeah, you know, to the basketball
court and with our aeriels and our zip guns and
have a fight.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
You no longer have an interview with the mic asking
breakfast click.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
I think my favorite alternative for this, for dealing with
this is to now that we've brought it up, just
to never mention it again and stop caring about it
at all, because it's just not that important.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I am Belen Hat.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Please keep caring about me and come back here again
on Monday for another News Talks he had been and
it'll be the weekend edition.
