Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean for Wednesday. First with yesterday's news, I am Glen Hart and we are looking back at Tuesday. We need to discuss that we're both changes to the RMA, because they're always proposing changes to the r aren't they. Apparently the RMA is still not working, so they want to try and get it working so we can do stuff that we still don't have enough doctors, or do have enough doctors, or we keep training doctors and they keep leaving the country. We try to get to the bottom of that. When work trips go bad, Man and Tyler will be talking about that, talk about the cyclical nature of news. Once again, we're talking about stadium's stadia and Auckland hasn't got a proper stadium before any of that. Dude, where's my electorate? O' harry is no more in Wellington.
They had to delete one from the North Island due to the population changes. Basically, there are quotas that must be met in order to have a certain number of electorates, and there are fewer people living in the Lower North Island of New Zealand, and you've got to keep things equal. The Lower North Island population is below the target quota, which is actually true of Auckland as well. But what they've done is taken into account population growth projected population growth. So while Wellington is below quota and Auckland is below quota, they've gone well Auckland is going to increase, whereas Wellington's population is expected to decrease. So lots of movement on the boundaries, too many to list. But the wain thing you need to take away from today is that a Harru is gone and that means that Greg O'Connor, Labor MP, is gone. Why because he went electorate only. Remember last time, last election he said he would quit if he didn't hold on to his electorate seat. Now the seat is gone. Therefore, ipso facto, so is Greg O'Connor.
It's weird to find that you've been deleted, isn't it. It's a bit like so. I live in Rodney and sometimes it's called Rodney and sometimes it isn't. It might be Funga Perah. These days I actually have no idea what my electorate is called. I think it's stilled the Rodney Ward on the super City. Even know where I live actually now that I think of it, so yeah, I can identify with the people of Hurry. You who are no longer other har are you? You better find out where you are for the next election, otherwise you'll cease.
To exist news talk ze been.
I'm not sure how big an issue AREMA.
The form will.
Before you come with the election next year.
I can't believe it isn't.
Change this three year terms. Think it's particular anyway that's neither here nor there. What can be done to fix all the red tape?
I think David Parker was here to be able to even take on the job of trying to wrestle the RMA into submission is a phenomenal task, and I think David Parker did a pretty good job of attempting to do that, to the extent that the coalition government will use some of that work and build on it. But I would love to hear from you if you have been held up held to ransom by the ROMA and whether you believe that this is going to set us on the right track in terms of being able to get on with business, do what you have to do, but without unnecessary time constraints and without the added extra expenses. There were so many examples given of how the RM is ludicrous, and yet at the same time there is a need to have legislation to protect the environment from the predations of a moral people who would advance their own interests without a second thought to the environment around them, all the community. But I think Jeanette Hill also had a very good point in that clip that we used when she talked about people being able to weaponize the RM. They can use it for malicious intent to hold up any kind of projects they might not agree with, even though you know they've been deemed lawful and all environmental considerations have been taken care of.
As I've often said on this podcast, there are two types of people in the world. I there there are people who find reasons to do things, and then there are people who find reasons not to do things. Do they is it important to have those both types of people just sort of maintain a balance, or do we just need to get rid of the people who find reasons not to do things altogether? That's what the current government's all about anyway you talk. Unfortunately, plenty of doctors new doctors are finding reasons to move elsewhere in not doctor here, which is a bit of a problem because I think we need doctors, don't we do we?
I think we do nowth New Zealand do not fund enough jobs. The jobs they do fund a lowly play paid and future prospects are limited except for a talent of view. They get paid better overseas and they can pay off the student loan faster, and it all starts from day one after they've trained. Each year, Health New Zealand fails to fund internships for twenty five to thirty graduates, forcing them to look overseas. They've done everything, but there's absolutely no job there for them. Some sure, we're overseas students, but they'd spent seven years here. They'd like to say if the prospects look good, but the prospects aren't. Now we've trained these guys, and all tertiary education is partially subsidized by you and I the taxpayer. What is the point of spending taxpayers money training doctors if to save taxpayers money we don't offer them a career path after their studies and so how about this for a radical idea. The government now wants to fund training for six hundred and thirty nine doctors next year, why not also fund six hundred and thirty nine internships, and if any of them don't want to stay, we use that excess funding to pay the guys who do want to stay a little bit more. Because to fund training of doctors and then refuse to fund their jobs after they've graduated, to me is wasteful spending. And we all know how this government feels about wasteful spending.
It's sort of bad point, isn't it, is it? I guess you've got to sort of look at it in how many different areas are you going to keep do this? And do you then fund teachers the extra? Do you then fund age here? Workers extra? Do you then fund pre school here extra? Do you then fund I don't know, rubbish collection, the extra, the people who fix the pipes extra?
You know?
Tricky?
Right?
They were talking work trips yesterday afternoon. When I say that, I mean Mett and Tyler got quite a bit of a response to that.
Yoday, guys, great discussion. Ordinarily I would agree with the value of the work trip. However, in my previous place of employment. We all went on a conference to the US. Drinks were had and there was some inter office relationships had that shouldn't have been had. When we got back to New Zealand, it all got toxic and all came out and was terrible for the culture in the workplace.
I had to leave.
Wow, So that is a work trip that has gone absolutely astray.
That's too much booze. My previous role involved a lot of overnight trips away. I never felt guilty when living it up on the company. We used a lot of contractors. We'd work after ours and got paid overnight allowances on top of their salary. We never got paid any extra, So why not maximized experience?
I don't know.
Did that trip go wrong?
Was it the trip that went wrong? Or was it coming back to reality? Is that when it went rather? But should have just stayed on the trip. By some of the things, it sounds like it was going awesome.
On the trip.
News talk has it.
Been so we've got more handwringing over stadiums in Auckland and it's all sensed to be connected, like you know, there's no Western Springs Speedway anymore. And now there needs to be a new stadium, or can we just use all the stadiums that we've got or some of them that we have got out? But the third first, or what's going on? Why are we? Why are we doing this again?
So rugby is our big game, but not many people turn up. All Blacks will sell out and still sell out and that will continue for a while, but there are only a couple of games every couple of years. So yeah, I mean, there was all that excitement when forsythe bar opened and they're going to have everything, and what they get.
They got the Rugby World Cup.
Then they got out in John then they got Id Sheeran, then things went a but haywire, and they got the Lingerie the super Bowl, the Lingerie super Bowl, but that got canceled and things got sketcher and sketchier until.
There's hardly anything.
And I think probably that will be the same with Jade. There'll be a few big acts, but what other big acts? Now most people have seen the big acts. Right, You've got ed sheer and you've got Fleetwood, Mac, you've got a deal, You've got Out and Joe, and you've got the Rolling Stones with the Rolling Stones on their last go around, Elton John's on his last go around, Adele, what's she doing?
She's nesting?
Is that right?
Ed?
Shearon?
Well, we've all heard his songs. You've got cold Play where you wristbands it up and you've got Pink when she swings across the air to add it. But good luck to you. I hope christ d is. I hope it is good for you, and also too, just on the back of that, it's been incredibly bad for promoters. We had Drake pull out, We're that Fresh Festival canceled, So I think probably promoters won't want to bring acts down here because people won't buy tickets because so many acts have canceled, and we're not going to get the big acts like Taylor Swift because the promoter told people within our organization that Aucland's not big enough, not enough hotel accommodation, so the real big acts won't come here. Those ones we get fifty thousand, four or five nights, it's not worthcoming. So yeah, Christchich might get some acts. But basically, if you could fly from Dunedin, from Queenstown to Sydney to see Taylor Swift, do you really want to go to Jade Stadium to see Luke Colmbs. I don't know anyway. I just think it's a great thing for counsel to say we're going to do this and everything's going to be fantastic, but it's often not.
And this is why we can't have nice things in New Zealand, because we're just actually not big enough. We're only little, and yet we want all the things that they have everywhere else. You know, we see you know, message sixty thousand and eighty thousand, one hundred thousand stadiums, see the stadiums in America, and we'll go we're like one of those. But there's hundreds of millions of people in America. We've only got the five or six here. It would be nice, nice to heaven moment that I am Glen Hat just trying to keep it real or unreal, one of those. We'll see you back here with more surreality tomorrow. Surreality is It?
