Speaker 2 (00:24):
Rewrap O, Good Idea and welcome to the rewrap for Monday.
All the best bits from the Mic Hosking breakfast on
news Talks. They'd be in a sillier package. I am
Glen Hart and today we have got a social media
band for under sixteen, So Sex to the you kids,
sux of the Google as well. In Texas they've copped
a big fine Warriors. Wow. What can you say? Delivering,
(00:50):
doing the business, playing consistently, winning in different ways. Well,
I don't want to take all the windown of hosks
sales before he gets to it, so we'll leave that
to him a little bit later on, and Sam loses
a bet with the Prime Minister. But before any of that,
this White Tonguy Tribune, why is it still a thing? Exactly?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Am I right to inquire? Just what is it that
Tama Potark has been doing for a year and a half.
I mean, how many times have you heard me ask
the Prime Minister on a Monday, when's the White Tangy
decision going to be made? What is potarka doing? With
this activist tribunal. You've heard me say that over and over. Well,
Friday we got the answer, he's going to have a review.
(01:31):
I thought, that's what he's been doing. That's why I
thought we've been waiting so long. The impatience I was
showing and asking the Prime Minister is not when's he
announcing a review? It's when is the government snipping the
wings of the taxpayer funded activists that have lived well
past the use by date. The tribunal was set up,
if you can believe it, fifty years ago, to settle
(01:52):
historic grievances. They have, to a large extent done that.
The fact that some remain outstanding is an indictment on
the people who haven't settled and various governments who have
refused to put deadlines in place. But the majority of
the intent of the Tribunal's over. Having ticked that box,
they saw a future in a lot more money and
a lot more work, offering in increasingly radical views for
anyone who was bored and angry and wanted to take
a case so they could get a judgment to beat
(02:13):
the government of the day over the head with this
current government, perceived by the aggrieved as particularly nasty, have
kept the tribunal flat out, filing complaints and receiving damning reports.
None of it means anything because the tribunal has no
real legal standing. None of this is complex for goodness sake.
Yet Potarker has been sitting there doing lord knows what
to finally muster up a press release on a Friday
(02:34):
to tell us that long, long, long, long, long, long last,
He's going to get a couple of people to wander
off for a few months and come back with an
opinion the government wants so they can do what they
should have done all along, which is call a halt
to a circus. Once again, we remind you, no small
amount of the support that got this government to power
was predicated on the idea that enough was enough. On
(02:54):
the mari Over each front, delivery has been painfully slow.
Po Tarker has been dragging the chain. Is it possible
part of the reason this government has failed to fire
more than it has is simply because their talk was
a lot more attractive than their.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, there should be an easy way to measure organizations
and how much time they spend justifying their own existence,
because if you do, if you're spending more time doing
that than actually doing anything. You should not.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Exist, so we wrap.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I think we're all agreed social media should not exist,
but it does. How can you put that genie back
in its bottle?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Yes, Mike, I'm a parent of too active outdoor kids,
but would very much welcome a ban. It's just too
addictive and they see so much rubbish. I'm sure this
is where the escalation of the bad behavior and crime
stems from, in my opinion. Kate, you're correct, but I
believe you are, and I go back. Katie and I
have been talking about this over the weekend. When we
were parenting active younger children, there was no social media
(03:59):
until there were sixteen, and when they were sixteen, it
was private accounts only, and there were phones and bowls
every night, and there were phones and bowls on holiday,
and there were endless hours and restrictions and things they
could they couldn't do, and we were hated, and we
were hated by our children, and we were hated by
our children's friends, and we were questioned severely by other
parents who were going, I don't know how you do
what you do. It's too difficult. I know I couldn't
(04:20):
do that, and we said things like, wait, you give
it a go.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Then those people needed a phone bowl.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Exactly, we had a bowl. We had a phone bowl.
And tell you what, and I look back now at
that and I defend it with an element of pride.
Wasn't particularly enjoyable at the time.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I mean, they're deep seated resentment of yours ongoing obviously.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Yeah, and I can't pinpoint back to the phone rules
as opposed to any other rules, so I don't know anyway, Yeah, deep.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Seated resentment and probably a fear of bowls in some way.
Is that the answer? Do we just need like a
really big bowl for the kids to put their phones in,
you know when they go to school, well maybe even
you know when they you can have this back when
you turn seventeen. Big bowls, that's what we need.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Re wrap.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Let's just stick with big tech and a big fine
for one of the biggest in tech.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Google have agreed to pay nearly one point four billion
billion to the state of Texas. This is announced over
the weekend. Allegations are violating the data privacy rights of
the state's residents. The ag sue them sue them in
twenty two unlawfully tracking and collecting private data of users.
Got another settlement, another time of one point four billion
(05:41):
covers allegations of two separate lawsuits, dwarfed all the past
settlements by other states. For years, Google secretly tracked people's movements,
private searchers, and even their voice, prints and facial geometry
through their products and services. I see nothing in the
report that does the usual, and we don't admit to
any level of guilt, but just have one point four
billion dollars worth of our money because we feel bad
(06:03):
about ourselves.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Hey, it's a lot of money that does just come
out of a fine bucket, doesn't it. They've got a
big bowl there and googled Well, another fine. I guess
we'll just pay that. Carry on the rewrap right another
when for the warriors a narrow one, but they seem
to be in control of things. I really can't make
(06:28):
fun of them because their party, say.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Well, didn't seem to be the sort of game we're expecting,
did it. I mean, the dragons aren't. At our end
of the table. We started well, led well, went to
the halftime well, by the end of it, we scraped
by with a droppy. The dragons sort of reminded me,
I thought there for a moment with the warriors of old?
Did you think that poor start? Then scored a few
excellent points in a could we come back from here
kind of way? Get even They're aimed for a last
(06:51):
gasp clincher that, as it turns out, wasn't to be.
How many times have we been there over the years.
But that was then and this is now. And when
you're on a roll, and when you as a side
have taken the next step, things turn out differently. The
droppings work, you escape on the right side of the ledger,
you reinforce your growing reputation that you are one of
the best sides in the competition. And so we march on.
Who is it, I ask you, that can beat us?
(07:14):
I mean with the bulldogs go in hot favorites these days,
or merely regular favorites, or maybe even Stevens. Could we
be tipped up by a sidelight the dragons who come
out of nowhere? Mentally? Can we keep up this relentless
professionalism and consistency. Will we get even better when everyone's
back fully fit? Could we get to the top of
the table before the end of the season. Is it
too early to ask whether we can win the table
(07:36):
before heading to the playoffs, playoffs at home in front
of sell out crowds. Is it too early in the
season to ask those sort of questions to build that
sort of hope or are those sort of questions more
than justified now and realistic based on what we've done
so far? Eight from ten, records now being broken each
and every week. Next up the Dolphins. Are they whether
(07:56):
we are on the table, Well, don't even close. We're
a genuine second two points off being the top. Where
the real deal on this I am increasingly confident in
saying is our year?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Yeah? It had to.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It's not like other years where they've had a modicum
of success and you think and the whole time you're thinking, oh,
can they keep doing it? Because this year they've shown
that they can keep doing it. They are keeping doing it.
They've been doing it and doing it. So if they
can just get revenge for Vegas in a couple of
weeks when they replay the Raiders, Yeah, I really think
(08:32):
the writing's just about on the wall. Never thought i'd
say it the rewrap. Meanwhile, Welbo, we could have spent
all morning talking about how great the Chiefs are and
how consistently they're playing, and what a hot prospect they
are to whin the sicker rabid competition. Some people would
rather focus on two other minor teams.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
I must also alute you to the fact to go
to our social media and the Prime Minister says he's
going to pop it up somewhere today and I wouldn't
be surprised in the post cabinet press conference if he
raises the photo himself. But we've got a photo this
morning with Christopher Luxen and Samuel the producer. Samuel had
a bet that he lost that the couple of weeks
(09:11):
ago when the Crusaders played the Highlanders, Samuel suggested that
the Highlanders would win. Obviously he was on a hiding
to nothing and the score was basically that if the
Crusaders one, Samuel would have to wear the Crusaders jersey,
which he is now wearing, as provided to us by
the Prime Minister.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I think they're going cheap this weekend, actually, the Crusaders
jerseys exactly.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
It didn't go well.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
There's not a lot of demand for them, not.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
As much demand. But anyway, sam who backs himself as
a bit of a weight lifter and a bit of
a body builder unfortunately, is not filling out this jersey particularly. Well.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah, I'm surprised by that. It's immediately made him look
like a wim wimp.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Yeah yeah, and it's small.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I think Sam's actually agreed is that he's been disappointed
at how quickly exactly this one jersey has Basically it
worked like kryptonite exactly.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
So anyway, have a look at the socials and see
Sam and the Prime Minister. Sam is as the post
painting off because the post painting was going to be
a thing, We're not. It was too cruel, the Prime
Minister it was going to be too cruel, which it
probably was. But anyway, go to the socials and have
a look at the photos.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah, when you get a chance to have a look
at the photos, you can be the judge whether you
think it's crueler to make Sam wear red and black
face paint or to completely disappear inside an oversized rugby jersey.
Maybe you're cool, Like I say, I'm not quite sure
(10:40):
why we were talking about crusaders and Holanders anyway, but
I guess some people are interested in those sorts of
minor sports. I am Glen Hart. This is not a
minor podcast, it's a major one, and we'll act with
more major content for you tomorrow it sear then.
