Speaker 2 (00:24):
The Rewrap.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Okay there, welcome to the Rewrap for Friday, all the
best bets from the MI co hosting breakfast on News
Talks EDB and a Sillier package. I am Glen Hart
and today we've got Erica Stanford versus Willow gene Prime.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Somebody pauses for effect. We'll find out who will mark
the week because it's Friday, and that is what we do.
And we're gonna spin a yarn at the end of
the podcast and some will too possibly.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
But before any of that, the cost of COVID they
finally finished adding it up.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
We see it earlier this week that the government will
be re elected next year because all things being equal,
history tends to show you get two terms. And secondly,
the opposition remains the same people who stuffed the place
a year and a half ago, and that pain, the
closeness of that pain, is still real for too many
of us, unless, of course, they I don't know, rejuvenate
the party or say sorry, none of which is going
to happen. This was all backed up by Treasury who
(01:21):
in one of their latest papers, which is well worth
reading by the way, basically says the government overspent. They
were told not to overspend and whatever spending they were
doing should be targeted and directly linked to COVID. None
of that advice was followed. They sprayed money at a
rate that equated to sixty six billion dollars or twenty
percent of our entire GDP. And when the worst was over,
they kept spraying. And here were a couple of years later,
(01:43):
we're bogged down and their economic incompetence. The politics of
it all is in full swing, of course, as Labour
tries desperately to blame the current government for the mess
and making that argument slightly complicated. Is this ongoing criticism justifiable?
If you ask me, for all the announcements, in all
the noise, this is a timid government that really had
license to go for broke and they've largely chickened out. Yes,
(02:03):
they've dabbled and poked and prodded and done some decent
common sense stuff. I mean building products and garden shehairs
and speed limits and rucks and the n CEA. I
mean that's just in the last couple of weeks there's
no shortage of bits and pieces, but it's not transformational.
Hence the slow progress and the opening for labor to
have a crack. Labour are praying basically, you forget this
is on them, but it is, and the Treasury paper
(02:24):
very clearly says so they told Robertson to tighten it up,
to be disciplined, but socialists with majorities and egos are
not for turning, and so the ruinous money Party was
on writing about it. Doesn't fix it, of course, but
it is proof positive that this lot inherited one of
the most ill disciplined, ill advised, arrogant, bungling fiscal messes
of the modern age. And if you don't believe, then
(02:44):
that's believe. Treasury Labor don't have a leg to stand on.
And the same people who did that to us are
still there wanting you to forget and give them another
crack in a year's time, and that is why they
will not win.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yes, so the Husk is confidently predicting a labor loss
the next year's election.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Yeah, he's been doing that week actually, So yep, here's
where you heard it, and these are recorded. They're not
going anywhere. We'll find out what happens then, so we wrap.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
I don't know actually if it's the biggest call in
the world when you hear about this to and fro.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Hey, Willer, Jene, congrats on the new role. We'll need
to get you up to speed with the NCA change process.
Jan and I had started working with a cross party
on this, given the importance of our national qualification. Would
be good if we could meet first and I can
run you through where we're at and what the process is.
There's a policy advisory group of principles who are working
on the details and you can have access to them
(03:44):
when they meet, as well as my officials and also
n ZQA. The Minister said her office would get in
touch with Prime if that's okay. The silence is what
she got that Stanford, what she got back from Willow
Jene Prime, and it gets worse.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
I mean to be fair sometimes for reasons underknowns. So
you things end up in your trash, don't they now
get marked as spam and then it's hard to unmark
them as spam and the rerap you're going by what
happened next had to say that was what was happening.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Here, though Stanford to Willo Jen Prime, So she gets
nothing back after the congratulatory text and the invite to meet.
Email two months later from Stanford to Prime. Two months later,
still no response. Our office has not been able to
identify any incoming correspondence from the Honorable Prime Responding to
the message, Honorable Stanford was grateful for the productive engagement
(04:39):
with the Honorable Tenetti on curriculum reformatters and would like
to ensure cross party engagement can continue. Our office would
like to coordinate a meeting for education officials to brief
Honorable Prime on NCEEA and other curriculum reformatters and respond
to any questions she may have. Mid June, the Minister
personally follows up with another email. I am eager to
maintain cross party collaboration on these crucialists as I look
(05:01):
forward to your response into continuing our joint efforts in
education reform. No response. Still is the woman dead? Has
she gone to Illinois with other Democrats out of Texas?
Stanford decided to go round the contact Hipkins. I've sought
on multiple occasions to get put from your education spokesperson.
No response. Next day, bing bing advisor from Prime email
(05:21):
Stanford listen to this, I acknowledge your email regarding NCA
curriculum reform. Willow Jeane has considered your email, declines the invitation.
If that's not a sackable offense, I mean personally, if
she had any moral she'd resign. But if that's not
a sackable offense, I don't know what is. That's a
woman not doing her job. Why she in the job again?
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Could that be an auto out of office reply?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
You know, like I've got one that just by default says, yeah,
I'm not the producer of the show. I've cced the
producer of the show. I'm sure he'll be in touch
if he needs anything further. And that saves me having
to think about what to say to somebody who wants
me to do something with the show. So maybe she
just says that, you know, I've considered your email and
(06:08):
I'm not responding.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
It's not a bad one. Actually, I might try that
one instead.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
It's a rewrap.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Hey, hey, hey, I do believe it's Friday, and you
know what that means.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Yes, it's time to mark though.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
We're time to marke a week little piece of news
and current events that will give you more miles per
gallon under the new ruck scheme. Shed's eight. The new
garden shed rules. What was that? I mean, give it
to me properly?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Was that? Just?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
That's better? New garden shed rules are what government should
be about, simple and common sense. How hard can it be?
For goodness sake? See bed and Foreshore seven? Way too slowly.
If a government can't govern, then why have a government
and not just get the appeal court to do everything?
Are cars? Six? New car sales. It ain't boom time,
(06:52):
but it's better than it was with the stats this week,
and that is hope and maybe a new VEG eight Actually,
especially economic zone six Shane Jones musing again as an
idea laudable, make it happen. I'll kiss you. Local body
elections for nominations players once and a whole bunch of
brace is not being run because we don't have enough
candidates fifteen percent one The biggest blow of the week
(07:16):
in an economy that needs it like a hole in
the head. Thanks Donald Cold seven good cooperation with the
gen Taylor's some cold hard reality at last, and a
good kick in the pants for the idiots who close
the oil and gas BP. Speaking of which, nine biggest
strike in twenty five years. Drill Baby, Drill jobs. Four
Because the simple truth is this ain't over. I'm afraid
to tell you there is more where that came from,
(07:37):
in a year that was supposed to be showing real
signs of recovery. And just like that. Four it ends
after season three, two part final, our last part drops today.
I found myself, I mean, I know, don't laugh, but
quite engaged by it. Now I know Downtown Auckland's three
wake up call for the week from the real estate
bloke who said we look more like super than Sydney
(07:59):
Ouch Sydney Sweeney. Six. I'm not here to tell you
to buy American egle chens. Explain that to me, make
it make sense. Seven. Now this country in terms of
interest and accessibility is gone from seventy two, seventy second
in the world to twelfth. More please Singapore sixty sixty
(08:22):
from what they were to what they are. That's your
story and want to emulate ethereum etherium ten years old. Six?
Who would have thought, hey, mind you, Kim Kardashian four
shape wear for your face? A fall in their money, eh,
And that's the weak copies on the website. Now, if
you put a combination of water and lemon juice. On
a copy of Mark the Week and shine a light
on it, you will see an imprint of Chris Luxein's humanity.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Oh that's nice. That's nice. That's a nice joke. The
wesh I could take responsibility for that. That's all Mic bog.
That might be one of the better jokes I've ever
heard him do, because a part from anything. He wrote it,
and then he read it, and then he said it.
So he got all three elements right, which is very
(09:06):
rare because he's.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Quite quite quiet far sighted. Pen won't admit it. Also
a terrible typeer the re wrap right, We're going to
finish up with a better handicraft.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
My uplifting story of the week is the last operational
woolen die House spinning mill has been saved from the
scrap heap. I don't know why this appeals to me,
but because I don't buy it. I mean, this is
bundles of wool. I mean, who do you know who
buys bundles of wool? Knitters? Knits and spinners? Are there spinners?
And this is in the country a few knitters. I
(09:36):
suppose knitting became a thing for a while. One of
our daughters gott int knitting for a while and it
was very therapeutic.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
It was sort of a crochet versus knitting. There very much,
wasn't there.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah, wilder wild earth Yarns so have taken over the
manufacturing equipment of a company called Design Spun, which is
in Napier. They were going out of business and they
were going to sell this stuff or bin it or whatever. Anyway,
the hand yarn does the super fine marino and this
is why I probably like it. No one loves a
super fine marino more than me. Possum fiber and strong wool,
(10:05):
so you can spin even strong wool. And as a
result at this company, by the way, is in Bromley,
and that's christ Church and anything to do with Christ
your time all over. So they've taken this machinery, they're
going to be able to expand massively. Most of the
country's wall clip goes overseas. That's another thing. Why does
the wall clip go overseas to be processed? This is
like logs, as Winston the story. Most of our logs
(10:26):
go overseas to be processed. Why why aren't we processing
warlocks here? Why aren't we doing more things with the
stuff we grow here added value. Why are we sending
most of the wall overseas when you can potentially do
it here anyway? The company Wild Earth Yarns of Bromley
have gone and bought this equipment. They're saving the equipment,
they're keeping an art alive and their business is going
to expand as a result of that.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I want do they want to buy a tannery because
that tenery, you know, the leather place, is that for sale?
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Where was it? I was going out of business, wasn't it?
When we're talking about it.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I think the gap between spinning and tanning.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Is probably is it not the same sort of thing?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
It's not the same sort of thing, Glenn, but thanks
for blue skying like that.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
He looked at me like we had no recollection of
what we were talking about.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
We did a whole thing about how it was the
last remaining tenor in New Zealand, and then we got
on to Arian Williams out of Australia and the Kubra's
and Drys the Bones and I just did I just imagine.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
All that can't know what happened.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
I am Glen Hart and I'll be back to share more.
Deranged hallucinations from my imagination with you on Monday.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
See you then.
