You're listening to a podcast from newstalk s'b follow this

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Rewrap there and welcome to the rerap for Friday.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
All the dispers from the Mike Husking breakfast on Newsdalks
he'd be and a Sillier package I and Glen Hart.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
And today there was a poll out Did you notice it? No, oh,
don't worry.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Marked it the Communist Commission's case against one New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Do they have a case?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Will mark the week because that is what we do
on Fridays. And we're going to have to have a
look at the cyber truck recall. But but ahead of any
of that, the chaos in Parliament yesterday bad look all around.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Now if you watch the Parliament designed it yesterday afternoon
you could feel it building. Of course, Question time focused
largely on the Treaty Bill that was growing angst Jerry
Brownly the Speaker spent far too much time calling for order.
It was low rent, not unheard of of course, but
full of nee dless agro. Then came the so called debate.
The Treaty Principle's Bill had arrived. Eleven speeches led off
by the architect David Seymour, who spoke, as he has
(01:17):
through this whole shambolic process, very eloquently. It was followed
by Willie Jackson, who also spoke very passionately until he
called Seymour a liar and got booted out of the house.
Most of the rest of the speeches were boring and
said what you thought they might say, depending on what
side of the house the speaker came from. National were
in the invidious position of defending their position while not
defending the bill. They can claim Christopher Luxon or blame
(01:38):
Christopher Luxin for this, because how he let it find
its way to this place is beyond me. Either as
a coalition deal, let it ride, or kill it before
you signed the deal in the first place. But this
halfway house is the worst of all possible worlds, and
it looked like it as he was on a plane
to South America, and the poor sods he left behind
had to do their best to defend it. The whole affair, sadly,
(02:02):
was not what you might want or expect from our
House of Representatives. Beyond anything else, we appear to have
lost the ability to debate cordially, to agree to disagree,
to listen to each other and have different views, to
be mature, to be adult, to accept that we don't
all have to be on the same page. And by
the time the Mari Party burst into a harker and
wrecked it all, Jerry rolled his eyes literally and suspended
(02:25):
proceedings for the day. I caught up with the fallout
on sky TV later. God knows what the Australians make
of it. All this sort of stuff goes global as well,
so more embarrassment there. We look ridiculous, We look like amateurs,
We look like petty little children bitching at each other.
We look like Karmela Harris supporters on TikTok. We are
I think, I hope better than this. That lot yesterday
(02:46):
in the House of Representatives is not us. It's not representative,
because if it is, we're all bugget.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
As bad as all that was, I've seen worse.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I love all those those bust ups that they have,
you know, you see like the Japanese Parliament or the
South Korean Parliament, you know, all climb on, you know,
you sometimes see it out of Malay and stuff like that.
They Yet I'm not trying to lump all these things together.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
But you know when they all.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Just pile in like a like a like an ice
hockey fight. Until we see some of that action going,
I don't I think we can go a little bit worse.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
It's the rewrap.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
So as any of the stuff had any effect on
the poles, that's what we need to know.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Luckily, there was.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
A fole taxpayers you knew you want to poll? Why
not didn't get a lot of coverage this Are we
over poles? Now? Are we? Nationals up three point nine
points which is material to thirty eight point eight, Labors
up one point two thirty one and a half, Greens
are down a point to nine, Acted down a point
to eight. New Zealand first to down a point to six.
(03:52):
The Murray Party had down half a point to two
and a half. Nothing changes. Sixty seven seats for the right,
fifty six seats for the left.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Why why, why why are we doing poles?
Speaker 4 (04:04):
The election?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
The next election, last time I checked, is not until
the end of twenty twenty, effectively two years away.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Stop giving me PTSD. That's the think.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
All the stuff that's going on at the moment, nobody's
going to remember it. So news yesterday that the Communist
Commission was taking One New Zealand to court over its
claims of providing one hundred percent bone coverage.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
It's stupid, isn't it, Mike?
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Do you reckon? John Brian is the best Ordered to
General we've ever had. He's reviewing so much. I can
barely remember the names of previous ags. Me neither interesting question.
I wonder if he's reviewing too much and what it
actually means. And I go back to the ComCom decision,
which is not the order to General, of course, But
I go back to the ComCom decision and John Ryan,
by the way, is ag will talk about in the
(04:56):
moment with the business of the visas and on that work,
he's done very well. I go back to the ComCom
yesterday and the court case for one, and I remember
doing some of the advertising around that at the time,
and what I meant by, you know, when we did
the advertising. What they're meaning to say is, as a
result of a connection with Starlink, you'll be able to
go to parts of the country you've not been able
(05:17):
to go to previously and be able to text people.
So if you're in the middle of a national park,
you can text because that's what starlink does. If you're
two hundred and fifty seven thousand feet underground, you won't
be able to text. Now the ComCom decides that that
is misleading. And where in there in that combination of actions,
I ask you, does common sense come and so technically
(05:37):
when you're underground in the center of the earth, no,
you won't be able to text. But then again, did
you ever think you would? And they said you might
not be able to text from under a tree? Maybe
you thought you might not be able to So in
other words, are we are they taking the piss the
ComCom that they got too much money and they're legal
fund is my simple question for you?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah, I meank.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Guess what if you try and use your phone inside
of Faraday cage it won't work either. You try and
use your phone underwater, you won't get very good reception
there either.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
What's going on with us? That's so weird? The rewrappit
It wan't weird. We could do weird if we do
weekly weird. It's called mark the week. It's Friday.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
It's what we do time to mark the week, little
piece of using current events. It's as exciting as being
Matt Gates when Donald calls the trifector eate.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
It is in nic world today, Oh, the.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
White House, the other House, the Senate. This is as
comprehensive as it gets the reaction seven because people are nuts.
Elections have always had winners and losers, and there is
always another election. Social media is shown. It's just how
often people forget that HOSPO seven. General spending this this
week we find is still a mnemic. But HOSPO is
upper decent chunk. So we'll take that all day long.
(06:50):
Speaking which Fontier A nine, I mean right now, is
it as good as it's ever going to get? Nine
to fifty could be ten bucks a sale worth billions,
and an effect on the economy that is so fantastically welcome.
The all black seven. They look increasingly like the Robertson
era is going to be a very good thing. England
and Ireland, France for good measure. And that's a good
way to hit Christmas. I would have thought a COP
(07:11):
twenty nine Sex because it's so funny. No one of
relevance is there. The host president thinks oils from God,
and it looks increasingly like the earnest Sirrad has finally
reached its Nadia shell seven. Good court went over the
active as nut as courts can't enforce the way business
is done and hold you responsible for things you don't
even make. Here we save eight another seven, but did
(07:34):
we find out on top of the eight billion we
find out so far this year? So saving is no
bad thing. But Black Friday six. It doesn't love a
bargain because spinning's flight fun too, isn't it. China six
three hundred and forty million dollars worth of business done
on the latest trade mission, reminding us that being engaged
with the world is actually good for business, tourism. For
having the great dropped ball of the past few years, lockdown,
(07:57):
we've been forgotten. Immigration two about the most depressing thing
this week. The numbers leaving New Zealand are heartbreaking. The
numbers arriving are falling. What's it say when we're actually
going backwards, which we will be? Are the apology seven?
Because it was heartfelt and came from the right place.
But that was the easy part, of course. The protest one. Wow,
more depressing than the immigration numbers. I'm afraid to tell you.
(08:19):
The media covering the protest two between singing reporters. I
don't make this up. Singing reporters and reporters making up numbers.
It is not hard to see where the media is
where it is and is held in the sort of
contempt it is. And they brought it on themselves, basically.
And that's the week copies on the website. And if
you take two of these, by the way, twist them
into a band and color them yellow, they make an
(08:41):
awesome bracelet for the love heart bit of the cold
Play concept.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
So my daughter who went to the concept, noticed that
a lot of people wore yellow to the Coldplay concept
and it took her ages to figure out why. And
it wasn't until they actually started singing the song, you know,
the song.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Called Yellow that she went ah the re wrap. She's
the smart one.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
By the way, We're going to finish up here with
hot hot het cyber track news.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
I backed off my whole cyber truck thing. I wanted
a cyber truck and no longer want a cyber truck.
Yesterday they announced their sixth recall this year, not sixth
recall in the history of the Model. Sixth recall this year.
It's virtually won every two months.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Is that a lot.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
It's a hell of a lot. It would be a
record breaking lot. They can't Elon Musk needs to get
out of mari Lago. And the other story I read yesterday,
the Trump team are getting thoroughly sick and tired of him.
He's moved into mary Lago. He's a pain in the
ass and they cannot wait to see the back of him. Allegedly,
he needs to get back to the factory and build
(09:44):
proper cars, because when you're recalling your car for the
sixth time this year, you're not building cars properly.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Anything seriously wrong with them.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Yeah, they put it down to talk. It's the inverter.
Listen to the way they describe it. The inverter stops
producing talk, the driver loses the ability to apply talk
to the vehicle using the accelerator pedal, resulting in a
loss of propulsion. In other words, the car doesn't go.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
You put your foot down and you roll backwards down
the hill.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Nothing happened.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I mean, how important is that to be able to
actually make the car go? I am, I am? This
is from the guy who's driving around in an I twenty.
That's the air conditioning isn't working at the moment. I
rarely got to get a new car. I am a
Glenn Hart. That was the rewrap.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Assuming my car gets me home today and then back
to work on Monday, I will see you with a
weekend addition then.
