Speaker 1 (00:01):
So there's an.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Election coming up November 7, I think, something like that.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Can't come soon enough.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
It's interesting at the moment, the polls, it's, she's tight.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
I think, I think, yeah, because no one can do anything.
I think we're just at the mercy. There's a lot
of stuff that's happening all around the world and every
side of the political spectrum is just can't do anything.
So they're coming out with these wacky polls, the, Policies
that everyone's like, huh? I don't want that. And I
voted for you guys last time.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
I think there's a lot of people that are disillusioned.
I think there's a lot of people that are disillusioned
with the way that these things are at the moment.
The economy, just kind of everything.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Can we all agree? Bad batch. We've got a bad batch.
Wherever you sit on the political spectrum, left, right, centre,
wherever you are, let's all agree, bad batch. This is
a bad one.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Shall we just kick this one to touch and go
for another? Well, that's going to upset some people who
want to change a government. But some people will say,
can we just defer it for a year? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Labour National Coalition. How about that? It's like, look, bugger.
I don't know. Yeah. But what I love is in
the last couple of weeks, they've all started announcing their slogans. Yeah. Man,
these crack me up. I don't know why. I don't
know what it is. They're all so corny.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Do you think that they don't have as much money
as they used to have? Do you think? Because, I mean, who, like,
donates to political parties?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Oh, I know.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Who does that?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I don't know. So, obviously, they've got to.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
So obviously they've got to find money to come up
with slogans because they've got to pay advertising agencies to
come up with these. Well, I assume, but looking at
some of the slogans, I'm thinking, I don't think anyone's
been paid to come up with this.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
You don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
And if they have.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Why didn't you come to us?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
If they have, you should get your money back. I mean.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
So what do we got this year?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Well, can I just start with New Zealand first? Let's
take back our country. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
New Zealand first.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
That's a New Zealand. Who's taken it? Who's got it?
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I would have thought the same boomers that have been
in charge are still in charge. Let's take it back.
Let's take back our country. That is so dog whistle. Boy,
oh boy.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
National, fixing the basics, building the future.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Does that get you excited?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
No, I don't even know what that means.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
There's nothing more exciting than fixing the basics. That's inspiring,
isn't it?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
But haven't they also been there for three years? Have
they not been fixing the basics for the last.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I think they've been saying that they've been fixing the basics. Oh, okay.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
And it's going to take another few years.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
They're still blaming what happened before them, eh?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
The other one is I don't want to hear from
them at the moment being like, hey, if we're re-elected,
we'll do this, this, and this. Do it now. Do
it now. Why are you waiting to get re-elected?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
So what have the Labour Party... Better starts now. What
does that even mean? Better starts... Well, I'll tell you
what it means, Vinaya. Better, because it hasn't been very good. Better.
Hasn't been good. So better starts... When? Now.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Oh, okay, now.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Right now, right?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
But hang on, but they're not in yet.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
But then after three years, we'll say, oh, we haven't
had enough time. Okay. And we need another three years
to make better start now.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
What are some of the best ones that we've had
in the green parties at the moment is for all
of us.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
What does that mean?
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I don't know. Act real change. Don't know what that
means either. In 1972, Labour were going with the Bruce
Buffer approach from the veteran voice of the Octagon in
the UFC.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
It's time. Yeah, with big Norm Kirk.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Yes, big fan.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Yeah, they stormed home. They stormed to victory there in 72. 75,
now this was a famous one because I got gifted
by a friend of mine the National Party Manifesto from
1975 in booklet form. With Robert Muldoon. He was later
Sir Robert Muldoon. At that point, just Rob Muldoon on
the front. And they're saying then was New Zealand the
(03:47):
way you want it? Because for a bit of context.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yes, they were sponsored by Burger King. Have it your way.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
For a bit of context, the Labour Party in 72
were accused of being communists. Oh, right. So New Zealand,
the way you want it, was like, so we're not
going to turn into Russia. We're not going to turn.
And they ran these campaigns, these ads that had like
dancing Cossacks that were cartoons. And they were done by Hanna-Barbera.
(04:16):
I don't know if you remember Hanna-Barbera cartoons. But they're
quite famous animators from, I believe, the States. And they
wrote the ads. Yeah, right. And they were very, very effective.
But yeah, they had dancing Cossacks basically saying, you know,
if things keep going the way they have been under
Norm Kirk, we're going to turn into a communist country.
(04:36):
That freaked the crap out of people. And the other
thing they did in 75 was they allowed cats back
into the workplace.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Cats?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Yeah, it was a big policy. So in the manifesto,
it had a whole three pages dedicated to the fact
that they were going to bring cats back into the
workplace because Labour had got rid of.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Banned cats.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah, you were allowed to have a cat in a dairy.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
It was illegal. So if I'm a dairy farmer and
I've got feed lying around, so we've got a bit
of a mouse problem, I'm not allowed to have a
cat in there.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
No cats in the workplace.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
In the workplace.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
No, and cats got banned from dairies because they decided
that was an important thing to shut down.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
And so they ran on, we're bringing back the cats.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
We're bringing back, no, in an ad, Muldoon goes, and
we'll bring back the cats. That's what he says in
one of the ads.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
You'd get a few votes there. So watch it out.
If the Hauraki breakfast was a political party, and, you know, look,
we're considering throwing our hats in the ring, because like
I said before, bad batch. What would our slogan be?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Okay, we'll get into it next.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Give us a text, 3483. Give us a call, 0800 HAURAKI.
Send us a donation.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I feel like the word neutral is going to feature somewhere. Yeah.
It's not referring to politically neutral.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
No.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Jeremy Wells and Mania Stewart. Find them on Instagram at
Hodaki Breakfast.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
We're talking about campaign slogans.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Yes. Again, bad batch, both in terms of the parties
that we've got to vote for and then also the slogans.
They're all a little bit lame. So we want to know, 348-3800, Hodaki,
what should our slogan be? We also took to SoshMid
last night. What should our campaign slogan be? Clintstagram from
the ZM Drive show. Oh, yeah. Not an ad, but
(06:14):
reach out if ZM wants to sponsor this station. Two
in the, one in the. Oh.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
What a crazy thing to put your own actual name to. Well,
there's another one.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Here that makes me freaked out about how much some
people listen.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Which is, the slogan should be, it's a shade loose
in the, do you mind chucking it in my. Now,
I feel like, I can't believe that I told that story.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
No.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
At some point.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Don't retell it.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
No, I'm not going to.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
But I don't know that that really speaks to our
base voter.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
No.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
It's a shade loose in the... So chuck it in the.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
How about this one from Steve-O? Keeping your HSRFs.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
HS. Yeah. Oh, the highly secured facility. Highly secured. Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Keeping it highly secured.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Vote Jerry and Mania. This is a good one. We
own two sharks. So that's quite, God, that's just sort of.
It's a threat. It's a threat.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Just so you know, we've got two sharks. Michael writes, yes,
we can not be buggered.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
There seems to be, that's a vein that's come through
quite heavily, hasn't it?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Yeah, like lowering the bar so the only way is over.
The bar's already on the ground, so we've brought a spade.
Two guys, one country, zero ideas. Vote Jerry and Minaya
because who else do we have?
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Redefining neutral for all of Aotearoa.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Now, so far for me, that's the front runner.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Redefining neutral for all of, for the whole of Aotearoa,
is that what it was? Yeah. I like that.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
This one here, vote Jeremy and I or we'll kill you.
And another one from a friend of the show, Ben,
count on us to take the foot off the petrol
and chuck it into neutral.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yeah, I like this.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
One that's come through on 3483 that I think would
be a great ad for our campaign going into November
is from Gareth, Let's go, girls.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Let's go, girls.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Does that not get you? Picture that at the rally
when we do our inaugural Gerry and Manoia Hauraki breakfast rally.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Could you imagine, though? Imagine if one of the political
parties stormed to victory on the back of Let's Go Girls.
Let's Go Girls. Fantastic. 2026 campaign with Let's Go Girls.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
That ended up mobilising male voters. Oh, it would.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
It would. That song, male or female, when that kicks in,
when Shania rips that guitar, geez, that gets you going.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, it's going to cost us a pretty penny though,
isn't it? That's a problem.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Bit of a nice one.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Too expensive for us.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
What about Tara? Yes, she does. Three villagers are missing
their idiots. Neutral party, just coast. A lot of things.
The hierarchy breakfast, always gamble the feature. The hierarchy breakfast,
why not? Crank the hog and milk the yoppers.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I quite like crank the hog and milk the yoppers.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Old Haraki coming down the stairs. You drink what I
give you, boy. Supporting South African pilots and workplace cats.
The foot's flat but asleep at the wheel.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
It's certainly a lot better than fixing the basics, building
the future. Or better starts now. That's not going to
work with us, is it?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Jerry and Minaya catch the radio show from 6 till
10 weekdays, The Hauraki Breakfast.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
The selection's coming up November 7. That's actually quite a
long way away. Oh, hold on. September, October. That's actually
bloody miles away.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
It's a week before the Kiwipong World Series. Yep. That's
how I remember it.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Miles away.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Two weeks before my missus' birthday.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Miles away then. A month after the NRL Grand Prix.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Final.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah, okay. A lot of the parties at the moment
are announcing their slogans that they've got. There's some pretty
uninspiring shit in there.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I've got to be honest, and I've said this before,
I think we can all agree, I haven't had any
backlash on this take, I don't think it's a flaming
hot take. I think it's a lukewarm take. Bad batch.
Bad batch this year. You know some years you look
at it and you go, damn.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Is it our worst batch ever?
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Is it the worst batch ever? Is it the worst
batch ever?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Feels like it.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
It could be the most limp batch ever.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
It's an interesting setup at the moment. You've got 30%-ish
national support. You've got 30%-ish Labour support. Then you've got 30%
with the minor parties. It's the most split party. That
it's ever been. It's never been like that before.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Because it's a bad batch.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Yeah. Obviously disillusioned.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
No one wants to vote for anyone. So that's why
we are asking for your vote at the upcoming November
14th election. And we've been looking for a slogan. And
you've come through on 3483. The Hauraki Political Party. You
tell the story. We just turn the pages.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yeah, I liked this one here from Sam. The country's
going backwards. Surely neutral is better. Famously, we of course
put the current in neutral around about now actually. It
is the 1st of September. This is our neutral zone. Yes, yes.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
As of about 6am this morning when the show started,
we just jammed this sucker in neutral and we're coasting
down the hill to Christmas. Andrew from Napes has written,
no yoppa too big, no hog too small.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Yeah, I like this one here, the haraki breakfast. No
one likes a tryer. Which, you know, I mean, we've
been accused a lot of not trying. And I would
say that that is one thing that most New Zealanders
have in common. Like your ordinary New Zealander, nobody likes
a tryhard.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
No. No one likes anyone trying. You could also get
it to rhyme as well. Jerry and Minaya, no one
likes a tryhard.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Oh, there we go. It's quite good.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Is that trying too hard?
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Maybe it is.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Far out. I'm out. Dean said, we'll waste your tax
and then bleed you for more. Nick said, the Hauraki breakfast,
heavy on the stick.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I quite like that.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
This one's my favourite. Gerium and I are hot to
vote on that thing. Radio Hauraki, the only station you
turn the volume up for the DJ chat and turn
it down for the music.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Oh, yeah. Slogan for you, use pays the money, use
takes the chances.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Hauraki political party, the foot's flat but asleep at the wheel.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Well, that would indicate that we're actually in gear. So
I'm not sure.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
And then this one, Crank the Hog and Milk the Overs.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
I like that one. Want Jerry and Mania waiting for
you every morning?
