Speaker 1 (00:09):
You're listening to a podcast from News Talk sed be
follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Rewrap there and welcome to the Rerap for Thursday. All
the best buts from the Mike Husking Breakfast on Newstalks.
They'd be in a sillier package. I am Glenn Hart
and today the Darling Tanner thing.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
I know it's still happening. Incredible, isn't it. Anyway, it
might not be still happening for her after today. Just
Dern is now Dame justinder Adn.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
And we'll get an update on what's happening with the
Trump coins, because I know you're interested in that.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
We're going to spend a lot of time on that.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
And then we're going to review some of the acc
claims that have been claimed around here lately, given this
massive debt hole that they seem to have got themselves into.
But before any of that, Mike having a look at
the job seeker numbers and seeing if they're hitting in
the right direction.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Oh, he loves the stat It looks like the adults
have arrived in the room, thank goodness. And what history
will show was one of the more alarming of many
alarming moves made by the Labor government of twenty seventeen
through twenty twenty, more specifically twenty twenty through twenty twenty three,
was the idea that if you didn't have a job,
we could pretend that we wanted you to get one,
but if you didn't get one, nothing really happened. It
was sort of based on a similar line of thinking
(01:36):
that if you let a lot of people out of jail,
they'd be grateful and turn into good citizens. The job's
madness manifested itself when the borders were closed, of course,
and lord knows how many people were needed for basically everything,
where employers all over the country were screaming out for workers,
and there they were a couple of hundred thousand of them.
But miraculously, those without a job couldn't seem to be
connected to those who wanted to give them money for
(01:58):
turning up to do one. What made it more mad
was the term job seeker was a specific title given
to those who were assessed as being work ready, as
in ready D two work New Day, New Government, while
they saw all this for what it was, implemented the
traffic light system. You get to red your benefits cut.
Now the people who didn't mind you not having to
(02:18):
not work didn't like that. They thought it was mean. Well,
new data, not enough data to call it a fix
or a solution, but certainly enough to suggest it's working
and we're on our way back to normalcy. In August,
the number of unemployed who failed to make their obligations ie.
Turn up, have an interview, get out of bed, make
an effort was seven four hundred and ninety one. Astonishing
to think that even when there's a threat there are
(02:40):
still people who can't be bothered anyway. That numbers gone
down to six nine hundred and seventy five. Actual sanctions
have dropped also, from two hundred and sixty eight to
forty six hundred and sixty two, both moving in the
right directions. Still too many shirkers, of course, But the
lesson here is people, sadly, if given enough rope, seem
to want to hang themselves. Some people are just bludges,
(03:01):
and they need to get that there are consequences. So
let's hold out for ensuing months data. But fingers crossed,
it looks like a bit of tough love is working.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Who would have thought, man, So that seems like good
news we had the lower inflation numbers. It's almost like
things are getting better.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Surely not wrap right.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
If you've been confused as to why it takes so
long to throw somebody out of a party, you're not
the only one.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
I assume you're as excited as I am for Today
is decision day. It's meeting day. It's deal with Darlene Day.
Oh you thought I was going to talk about Wellington,
didn't you. It's deal with Darlene Day. Darlene is off
the court, as you do. But the party, her former party,
is going to have another meeting and it suggested they
may even make a decision they need seventy five percent
(03:54):
to boot her out of Parliament via the walker jumping law.
I got no idea whether they'll get that or not
if you haven't followed this, and I don't blame you.
Trying to understand the way the Greens think requires tremendous
patience and quite possibly a lot of cannabis. But they
don't like walker jumping in the law, so to have
to use it would rub a lot of them up
the wrong way. But Darlene with her actions, has already
rubbed them up the wrong way. So it's just a
(04:16):
matter perhaps of working out which feels less rubby Tana
or the law you dislike. Now, at some point, as
I've suggested before, they might like to look at their
candidate selection process, because I assume at one of their
preceding meetings somebody has had the wherewithal to say something like, hey, guys,
have you noticed how many halfwits we've ended up selecting
that have gone on to make fools of us? Couple
(04:37):
of procedural things you must never forget. The party has
never released the full report into TAN, and now you
might want to ask yourself why not. Also, you might
have noticed how astonishingly long it's taken to get to
this point, and that might just be a warning as
to what sort of approach to matters they may take
should they ever be in power in a cabinet that
actually requires adults to make sharpest sort of decisions. As
(04:59):
for today, well, they have to booter her out, one
because she is a reprobate, but two because they've made
such a meal of her performance and behavior. Not to
booter out is to see her win, and to see
her win would make absolute fools of the party. That's
not to say that won't happen because it's the Greens
and they're not like the rest of us. But it
might just be that one of Parliament's bigger embarrassments is
(05:21):
about to and not a moment too soon. Get her
come up.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Do you reckon?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I feel like this thing has just been such a
cluster for so long that even after today, they're still
going to find a way to prolong.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Things even further. It's just so weird.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
That they have been able to lance this particular boil
before now rewrap. Speaking of people who you can't seem
to get to go away even though you might want
them to. I mean, she's gone away, but she still
keeps heading the headlines.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Mike just into being honored for shredding the country heart ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Look.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
I hesitate to criticize people who receive the nation's highest honor,
and damehood is a damehood and you can't take that
away from her. You can argue as to why and
how she got it and offer up a couple of
thoughts as I'm about to do, funnily enough, as to
why she was doing it at Windsor and not in
New Zealand. And my strong suspicion. And let me tell
(06:18):
you a little insight. There's a book coming out next
year and I won't tell you who by, but it's
about her and I'm involved in it. They talk to
me about it. They wanted an opinion on her, and
I felt it necessary to offer that opinion because my
great fear in the writing of the book it would
be an opinion full of lobbies who are blinded by her.
But here's the cold, hard reality. I doubt she'll ever
(06:38):
come back to the country, and the way she conducts
herself these days, in terms of speaking and money and
bar balls and traveling to Windsor to see William to
giggle as he did as he awarded her the Look
at the British Press. William giggles as he hands her
the award. It's to still live in this country dealing
(06:58):
with the literal economic damage that she put in front
of us is egregious, to be frank, and I wish
her well. Generally she can get on with her life
and do whatever she wants. But it does remind us
on days like this just what she did to the place,
and to be rewarded for that leaves you but sick.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I guess because I loathe anything that hacks back to
the royal family and the monarchy and honors like this.
I don't mind that somebody that I don't particularly like
scot one.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
You know what I mean, That's just how I see it.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Rewrap it all right, here's the moment you've been waiting
for for the entire podcast. We need to do a
very very deep dive. I know we've already done a
deep data dive on job seeker numbers, but let's really
analyze the huge success of the trump coin.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Trump I was telling you yesterday about his new coin
didn't sell that well. They only got forty three hundred
unique wallet addresses. This is all cryptos stuff, of course,
only forty three hundred. They had one hundred thousand lined up,
they said, but only forty three hundred brought. And of
course the other problem was the website crashed a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Ah oh, I mean, and that might be a record
for the shortest segment I've ever included on this podcast.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Oh well, the re wrap. Let's finish up.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Seeing how responsible news Tooks Z'B staff members are for
the massive deficit the ACC seems to have found itself
With Harry.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Just interrupted the program. She knows the rules around here
do not interrupt the program when it's in full flow.
But she bowled through the door. But she's special and different,
so she's allowed to do that. But what she did
remind me of, and it's a very good point, is
she of course fell over, so in falling over and
she got acc this Kerry Wood and Makaiber So she
didn't initially take Megan's advice, but has learned her lesson.
(09:00):
She's now given up the drink and she's also in
the low heels. So she has fallen over, received acc
but amended her ways, and that's an important lesson to learn.
So then it suddenly occurs to me I thought, oh yeah, Carrie,
I forgot about her. Then of course Helen, Helen, her producer,
has fallen over as well. So that really when you
look at the nine to noon program for part of
(09:20):
the country, that's the whole program's fallen over. One hundred
percent of the people on the nine to noon show
have fallen over and received ACC. I have no evidence
that Helen's amended her ways in any way, shape or form,
and my strong suspicion, having known her for many years,
she hasn't unfortunately, And then we come to this program,
of course, and Glenn is famous for falling over, and
(09:41):
he's done it at least twice. So he fell Do
you get acc for your scooter thing or not?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I must have done yeah, I reckon.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
So he comes off as scooter many many years ago,
so he gets the acc No, did he amend his ways?
No he did not?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Yeah, no, I mean he didn't take scooter.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
He threw his scooter out, didn't you correct? To be fair?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
And to be fair, also, it wasn't my scooter.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
It was my daughter was stolen scooter. I wasn't stolen.
Oh sorry, that was not I gave it back to her, right, Okay,
so you stole your daughter scooter, took it to work,
got an acc claim, So he meant his ways. He's
never been on a scoo.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Still fell over without a scooter.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Yeah, but then without a scooter, took a dog and
then fell over some more. Have you stopped walking the dog?
Speaker 3 (10:15):
No, I'm not going out the dog.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
See you haven't stop walking your dog, so you haven't
amended your behavior. So just looking in the in the.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
And then of course Sam broke us back.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Have you been on acc too off, a little brit
a little bit of acc.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Everybody, you are a freak.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Everyone that I can see around me this morning has
been bleeding off the state for years and I'm the
only one with standards.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
And came out later on in the show that he
had actually quite recently played a SEC for some injured
arm rehabilitation, So all that posturing was awful, aw for nought,
just empty, hollow words from the Freak hosts of the show.
(11:02):
I am a Glenn Hart, I am the Freak Hostess
Podcast and I'm back with more freaky podcasting tomorrow.
