Speaker 2 (00:24):
Rewrap.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Okay there, welcome to the re Rap for Friday.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
All the best that's from the mic Husking Breakfast on
Newstalk SIB in a Sillier package, I am Glen Hart
and today at his trouble at milk both here and
across the Tasman.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
What is the woke banking bell? Where did it come from?
We'll mark the week because you know it's what we
do on.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Fridays, and then we won't just find out how great
cats it, we'll also find out how he grows it today.
But before any of that, overstayers, do we need to
shake up the rules and rigs about this?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Can't tell you how many texts I've got this week
on the same subject and the answer has been given
to you have the Kumars paid text over the years.
What is the role of the IRD and other agencies
and such immigration? The answer is, and the clue was
in Brian Roach's Report into Certain Aspects of the Public
Service earlier on as regards the Monaewa Maria different subject
but same theme. What you're assuming is the public service
(01:22):
er up to much. What you're assuming is that they
share information and their first world. What you're assuming is
that they're good at their job. None of that happens.
So just because you pay tax, as I've said on
this program over and over this week, just because you
pay tax in your name's mister Kumar, if you pay tax,
not that they don't care. The IOD is not remotely
interested in you other than whether you owe them tax
(01:42):
or not. If you didn't owe them tax, And it
built up over many, many years, and they came and
looked at you, and they had the wherewithal and looking
at you beyond your business as to whether you might
be an overstayer or not, which they wouldn't because they
don't care because they're not interested. It's ridiculous. It's like
you going to the doctor with the sore throat and
them going, so, do you know how to fix a car?
They're not going to ask that. They're not interested. They're
(02:02):
completely different departments and they don't talk to each other.
So it's no wonder there are people wandering around the
country nobody understands.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yeah, hasn't been estellar.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Week or two. Here's for the public services reputation. I
don't know what we do and nobody seems to. Nobody
else seems to either. The rewrap by do on the
private side of things aren't necessarily going well either, and
in Australia that means they get public money to help.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
In a week, two hundred and thirty New Zealanders were
given confirmation Kinleith Mill was over. The Australians, facing the
same scenario at a place called Wala in South Australia,
did something completely different. The steel mill is owned by
a British billionaire. It's in a world of financial trouble.
It may well go to the wall that employs one
thousand people in a town of twenty two thousand. So
the state government back now by the federal government, has
(02:50):
bought it. Even for a labor government in Australia, it's
an extraordinary move. But the assessment is in a small
town you can't afford to lose that many jobs. They'll
look for a buyer, they'll look for a finance, they
will look to rejig the place. Solved the problem, but
in the meantime the places open, the jobs are saved.
First question you ask, of course, is would this decision
be if it was not about a month or so
out from an election. An election the government who just
(03:12):
bought the steel works as in serious danger of losing
the precedent, of course, is also shocking. If you save one,
surely you save them all. And if you don't, because
you can't, the locals will quite rightly ask why not. Also,
the government owning things and the long term has never
really been a recipe for efficiency or success. As much heat,
for example, as labor got in the eighties for selling
the railways here hell and Clark buying them back has
(03:34):
hardly been one of life's great business decisions. In a
small town, though, at the pub or the dairy or
the sports field on Saturday, who cares. They've got jobs,
the bills get paid, the kids day and the local
school they'll take it. Where the money came from doesn't
really matter, does it. As much as Shane Jones espouses
the value of the regions, the regions here still lost
the mill and the problem that's sunk in or sunk
itt are the price of power that still hasn't been
(03:56):
addressed either as an issue. We go into yet another
winter with a mess of a system in Australia. The
place is opened, the jobs are saved, no one's leaving town.
So which approach is better?
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Phil kind of weird about that, is Mike Hosking sort
of saying positive stuff about government intervention and artificially propping
up the economy.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Surely not.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
I think he was just leaving it there for us
to decide, wasn't he freaking Friday rewrap. So we've been
talking quite about over the last little while about the
ethical banking, the you know, not giving people loans for
a service station because service stations won't be required in
the future apparently.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
But what if they passed the law to stop them
doing that? Can they do that?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Andy Foster's bill. We talked to Shane Jones about it
because Foster was unavailable for some reason. Anyway, Andy Foster,
New Zealand MP, he's got that bill about woke banking,
so banks who don't want to leand or want to
close down petrol stations and cold that's been pulled. That
was a private members bill. It's been pulled from the
Biscuit tin. So now the pressure goes on. This is
a New Zealand first versus the Coalition. Now the pressure
(05:05):
goes on ACT and the pressure goes on national. Do
they see this as a legitimate piece of legislation? Is
there some politics to play here? Because most importantly the
question to ask is do they have the numbers? So
watch this space.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
My question is is pulling pieces of paper out of
a biscuit tin really the most efficient way of governing
a country? Literally every news bulletin this morning when they
talked about the woke.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Banking bell mentioned that it.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Was pulled out of the biscuit tin. And I have
reason to believe that this is actually how they do it.
There is actually a biscuit tin. I mean, I know
it's cute, but come on, guys, the rewrap right? Oh everybody,
let's just check. Oh yes, it is Friday. Get a
mark the week, to mark.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
The week, little piece of news and current events. It's
as popular as a Scomo holiday. Snap on TikTok. Super
Rugby seven yep, good start, good rugby. No one knows
who's going to win. The crowds were okay the Warriors
seven haven't lost yet, thrashed Melbourne, big crowd, Vegas here
we come and got that right. Jd Vant six bad
(06:20):
and six.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Thanks to all of you for making it possible for
us to do all the great work we've.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Been doing it bad example with Romania, but the point
about Europe was a wake up call and actually pretty accurate.
Zelenski two about as bad a week as a week
can get center and Tennis three. I mean, for a
sport that I assumed didn't want to look shonky, it's
got a very wwe vibe about it these days. Farm
It's nine, a deary regulation driven by reality, not fairy tales.
(06:47):
These days, no wonder they're feeling good? Are white? Lotus
seven still looks good despite the reviews. And look, if
you believe the rebews, you clearly can't think for yourself.
Sir Brian Roach's report three, Wow, I mean you despair,
hopelessness for all to see. Cole seven never been more popular.
Ask Genesis boot camps six. The report spoke well of
(07:09):
the pilot, putting the media you didn't cover more of
the report as opposed to the Labor Party pylon speaking
of pylons school lunches one. By the time we got
the halal bitch and the loss of community comment, it
reached peak idiocy. Speaking of bitching. Everyone must go too,
you know what it might actually work. Moaning about a
(07:30):
strap line is the easiest thing in the world, and
everyone doesn't. Speaking of which, December Tourist number seven up
and those Americans can't get enough of its manufacturing eight
because it turned positive for the first time since they
made the steam engine Debbi from the Maori Party one.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
I wasn't aware of what had gone on.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Weed that detached from the world in which you're allegedly
serving old and on holiday while you're displaying your ignorance.
You gotta wonder, mind you, as Rawai so eloquently and
yet incorrectly put it, it could be a hatch job.
And that is the week. Copies on the website and
several earlier in ancient editions of these works were in
fact found in the tomb of Tutmos this week.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
So I know you're thinking, you're thinking that was your
worst performance in some time on Mark the Week, Glenn,
And you're right, it wasn't the best.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
And you're wondering what went wrong there was? What's my excuse? Well,
you know what, I just got the yips.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
I just started second guessing that my finger was over
the right button because you with Matt, you said of
you've got to do two things at once. Really, you've
got to listen to what Mike's saying, read a script,
and push the right button at the right time.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
So really, three things at once.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
And if you don't back yourself the moment you don't
back yourself, it's all over.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
What do you mean you've forgotten what we were talking about?
All right, let's move on there the rewrap.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
I've been a bumper crop this season, hasn't it. If
you've been growing them, you'll know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
And everybody is.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
So I at Griggs Place yesterday and he's growing his
tomatoes outdoors, and he says to me, I'm growing my
tomatoes outdoors. Now I'm growing my tomatoes indoors. And this
goes back to the text. Are you building another pumpsuit
or a greenhouse? And I'm not building another greenhouse. But
the greenhouse is the greatest thing we ever did, and
we're building that. We're growing these tomatoes and capsicums and
lettuces and leaves and herbs and spices and everything in there.
(09:27):
It's the greatest thing. So I'm talking about my tomatoes
and doors, and he's talking about tomatoes outdoors, And it
suddenly occurs to me, and I'm doing the heirlooms and
he's doing the heirlooms, and I'm thinking, well, I paid
a lot of money for my greenhouse and he's just
growing them outdoors. But I spent far too much money
on growing indoors. Anyway, suddenly occurs to me, is this
old man chat?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Is this a head?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
That's how Greg cuts it?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Is this a couple of old fats, A couple of
old fats talking about tomato soul? What my tomatoes? Greg?
I thought this is prothetic anyway, but then we kept
talking about them more.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
It has been a great season for tomatoes, certainly in
Auckland anyway. They're cheap at the supermarket. But I haven't
even needed to buy any recently. I did plant some tomatoes,
but I also had some plants just pop up, so
I guess that's the thing that can happen. And those
plants are doing particularly well. I don't even know what
(10:20):
variety they are. Rather than assuming they're not poisonous, I've
been eating them anyway. In fact, as somebody else's going overseas,
they brought a whole lot of their tomatoes around because
they couldn't eat them all before they leave the country.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
So we've got tomatoes would look at the moment at home.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
I've started putting them in things that you don't normally
put tomatoes, and I had to come up with a
tomato based cocktail. I mean, I know you can do
a bloody miry.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
But.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Can you do a tomato margarita? I tried to find
out last night tunes that you can't. But you know,
it's good to know these things, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Anyway? I am Glee hat.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
That was the rewrap bet with all your growing advice
again on Mondays.
