The Rewrap.

The Rewrap.

Okay, welcome to the Rewrap for Tuesday, all the best bits from the my casting breakfast on Newstalk s EDB in a sillier package. I am Glenhearten today. Are we doing that zero yet or is it still a bit tricky? The price of electricity, we want something done about that, not clear exactly what. And the price of salmon is off the charts apparently before any of that. Social media. The price of having that is the mental safety of our kids. But can you actually fix it? Is it technically possible? Nobody knows about technical possibilities more than my husking Right.

The social media ban, I've been thinking about that. It's like the pay equity debate. Actually not hard to drum up, a lot of emotion, not hard to find people who would argue passionately for it. So in this sense, perhaps unlike the pay equity debate, the government is on the right side of this. Now, for the record, my gut says the pay equity debate is somewhat of a risk, but is more Beltway and Union based than many thinking won't ultimately damage the government. The social media ban won't damage them either, even though it won't work, which it won't. It's not like the school phone ban. A phone ban is black and white in class no phones. Now, that's been successful because the government played the bad guy, allowing schools to do what schools should have done all along. The social media ban is designed to help parents be the bad guys, backed by the government. Seeing now we're looking to Australia. In Australia, they're exempting YouTube, they're exempting telegram, they're exempting gaming and as part of that roadblocks there are confirmed reports of pedophile rings using roadblocks. So the government and now arbiters of what's good, what's bad, what's right, what's wrong? Libertarians will be having a field day and no wonder Actor not on board and Act by the way, according to their leader who was listening to the Prime Minister on this program yesterday, have not moved their position on backing the idea because they don't. So the moment you go down the meta's bad YouTuber's fine pathway, that's lawyers and possibly threats of lawyers or possibly the pulling of services from country. The government was also you might remember related matter, government was also looking at big tech paying for local media for content that the big tech takes and makes money off. We were following Australia on that as well. What happened to that trumped it and tariffs and threats of services being pulled? Has any of it come to pass?

No?

No?

It has not.

It has not.

Will it come to pass? No it will not.

Yeah, it only just occured to me today and I don't know why hasn't accurred to me earlier. But it's completely redundant. This argument about the social media band. When you set up an iPhone, you get asked are you setting this up for yourself or for your someone and your family? And if you're setting it up for your care, you put all the family restrictions on it and they can't install anything on that phone without your express permission. Problem solved before it's even become a problems. Rewrap right now, do we know what we're talking about? When it comes to electricity prices?

Z Energy not commenting on Flick flicks a retailer of power. If you're a flick customer and there's forty thousand of you, you're going to be shipped off to Meridian. I don't know whether you're excited about that or not, but this brings back the whole gent tailor argument, and you can't make any money. Octopus or another retailer, not a gent tailor or a retailer, have done themselves a survey in that they've completely and utterly wasted money. I've no idea what they paid for it, but they completely and utterly wasted any money they spent on this particular survey. The survey tells us thus, half of New Zealand I'm more concerned about the power bill than this time last year. Breaking up the electricity gent tailors could improve competition. We don't know that. We're only guessing because we say random stuff to polsters. Curier did it? Forty six percent are now more concerned, thirty nine percent about the same, eight percent less concerned. Sixty nine percent of US big majority government is not doing enough to bring down electricity prices. As I asked earlier on in the program with Ryan, what is it you want the government to do? Literally? Literally, what do you want the government to do? Do you want the government to hand you some money? Is that what you were like? Would you like the government to pay your power bill. What is it that they can tangibly? Do you want them to instruct? You want to be like Russia or North Korea and they instruct the power companies what they can charge. Sixty seven believe sixty seven percent believe the profits being made by electricity companies are unreasonably high? Are they? Ask yourself how much Meridian made and you don't know. Of course you don't know. Most people don't know what profits electricity companies made are. Just for the record, Meridian made a loss. There are no profits for Meridian. They lost money, So they lost twenty million dollars, one hundred and twenty million. That's going up by the minute of sam Is it hardly show on hundred and twenty million dollars? So when you say they make a lot of profits, they don't always make a lot of profits. Does any of us actually know what we're talking about? And therefore, given we don't, why do we answer poles? For goodness sake?

If the government wants to pay for my algious city, though, please do or don't tell? Mike I said that though it may infuriate them, because they certainly did.

Mike, what did the government cut GST on power bills to help people out. Now, see this is where we go wrong in this country. These are the sort of crazed ideas that we can't be having. Why don't we just take GF What are the stuff we'd like GST off? So obviously airline tickets because they're too expensive. We'll take GST off that fruit, vegetables obviously, Well, actually food, let's take GST off food because that would help us out. Uniform school uniforms, school lunches, obviously, because we already did the food power. We need help on power. What if you need a new cart? We don't want to pay GST on accout because that makes camera expense. Why do we just scrap gsps? Why don't have no text? See where this goes?

Yeah? I mean he's right about it that we don't want to make life more complicated. We want it less complicated, don't we? Yeah? I could you agree more about that? You can't have TST on some things than not others. That it'd be like Trump having tariffs on goods but not movies. I know, Hang on the rewrap right? How are we getting on with our net zero obligations? And when I say we I mean the human race as a whole.

Welcome back, Tony Blair New Reporter is part of seeing some joining the growing lists to argue that net zero is doomed. Neit zero will be doing whether we do anything about it or not. No one's going to jail if they don't reach net zero. Of course, it's just that we can avoid a lot of needles damage along the way by recognizing it's early and baling, so our economies can be put back on some sort of level footing. Ironically, there's growing anger and Spain over last week's power blackout, with a lot of people blaming the renewable aspect of their supply chain. Spain is over fifty percent renewable, by the way, which is high for Europe, their argument being the higher the reliance on renewables, the more fragilely grid is. Here, farmers are furious once again over the new settings for the ets. We've gone from fifty percent to fifty one percent reductions only because Paris says each year you need to adjust up, so they adjusted the least they could, but they still acquiesced to what was signed up years ago when net zero was a bullish theory not an economy sapping reality. The Climate Commission the other day put new targets for credits and pricing on the carbon auctions. They were completely different to last year's in a we make it up because we don't really know what's going on kind of way. We've stumbled and bumbled basically our way through all of this, hurting our living standards and to what end. Emissions are in fact down for New Zealand ya yas. Is the world any better? No, which is why Blair joins Badnock in calling it all out. The Reform Party are booming in no small way because they've called it all nonsense as well. So between Blair, Farage and bad Knock that's a lot of cross political support to tip up an increasingly obvious dead end idea like me too under Council culture and all the other band wagons that got fashionable that zero was destined for the same end. Not that helping the planet isn't good or laudable, but what we didn't understand then but clearly do now is at what price? And are we prepared to pay it? And given the answers, no, A few more blear, Bad Knock and Farage type voices here wouldn't go a miss.

And yet again, you know, at the risk of sounding like a broken record. What do you mean you don't understand what that means? Kids? There used to be these things called records, and then occasionally they did have a scratch in them, and then the needle would jump back, and so it would just repeat the same thing again and again and again. Why am I explaining it to you? There have been never been more vinyl sales in there. Now you know how this works, Boomers. There used to be these things called records, which they have again now, but you never had. Never mind at the rescu has handed like a broken record. Just because it's too hard doesn't mean we shouldn't try to do it. People, Come on, no, do you find We're just gonna use the world up, throw it away and then it'll throw us away. There and a half the re wrap. Meanwhile, we've already moaned about the price of power, So let's moan about the price of salmon.

How much is smoke salmon? Go and call it glint right now? How much of smoke salmon? Aquillo? Sam thirty six dollars a killer? So Sam sys thirty six dollars a kilo, Glenn, I'll give you one more chance. Do you think it's more or less than that? At a guess?

At a store?

I guess more, go for fifty, forty sixty.

Katie brings home a piece of salmon. She does this regularly. She eats a lot of salmon. Salmon's fantastically good for you. I'm endlessly interested in the cost of everything, because when I move into politics, I'm going to end up on a leader's debate, and one of the questions is going to be how much is a piece of salmon? How much is the price of milk? How much is the average power bill? And I'm going to be ready for it. I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to blow them away anyway. So I'm asking you a piece of salmon. And she goes and I got really nice piece of salmon. It was sixteen dollars fifty. I say, how much that aequila? We look at it and I am absolutely gobsmacked. Now it happened to be a boutique piece from a very small producer, and I thought, well, that'll be because it's a boutique piece from a very small producer. So I go look up smoked salmon and all the regular stuff. Your king salmon, your supermarket salmon, is even more than what we paid. So we paid one hundred and thirteen dollars akilo, at which point I go, you must be drunk. I fill it sixty or seventy. I'm thinking this is ridiculous. Lambs up there as well, snappers in the fifties one hundred and thirteen dollars a quiller. Then you go to your bog standard king salmon, put a bit of pepper on it. One hundred and twenty five dollars akilo. I can find you salmon, bog standard mass produced salmon, smokes ammon from a supermarket at one hundred and twenty nine dollars a kilo. How long has this been the way? What's going on now? The argument is, because I start investigating at this point, a lot of waiters lost in the smoking process. So you start off with a kilo and you smoke it up and it comes out at about two grams, so you've lost lots, so they've got to make up the difference. Then they had a bit of pepper vacuum seal it, so somewhere in there. But is somebody making a lot of money or is that just the cost of salmon.

Well, so you're not eating a kilo of salmon, of course.

Well, so you're not eating a kilo of salmon, of course.

You're not, but the cost per you're not eating a kilo of steak either. Well yeah, but you and you're not in a kilo of snapper.

You're not, but the cost per you're not eating a kilo of steak either. Well yeah, but you and you're not in a kilo of snapper.

You have a steak, though I'd argue that you'd have more steak than you'd have you have.

You have a steak, though I'd argue that you'd have more steak than you'd have you have.

Two fifty grams of steak unless you're a peak.

Two fifty grams of steak unless you're a peak.

Yeah, but you're not going to have turn of fifty grams of salmon. That's going to be No.

Yeah, but you're not going to have turn of fifty grams of salmon. That's going to be No.

So what you're saying is it's the amount you eat, therefore they can charge more per kilo.

So what you're saying is it's the amount you eat, therefore they can charge more per kilo.

No, I'm just saying that when she comes home with her portion, she's going to wake it out her portion of salmon, and it was sixteen dollars, You go, oh whatever.

No, I'm just saying that when she comes home with her portion, she's going to wake it out her portion of salmon, and it was sixteen dollars, You go, oh whatever.

Well yeah I did, and that's how this whole thing began. But look where we ended up, Guinn. We're paying one hundred and twenty five to one hundred and twenty nine dollars a quilo for smoked salmon.

Well yeah I did, and that's how this whole thing began. But look where we ended up, Guinn. We're paying one hundred and twenty five to one hundred and twenty nine dollars a quilo for smoked salmon.

So I know a guy who does very nice smoke trout issues well, how much is that a quilla or nothing? Because he answer than he's related to me.

Grow your own salmon, grow your own trout, grow your own vegetables, toick, cut the gs or power obviously, and we're said to go, he didn't.

Grow your own salmon, grow your own trout, grow your own vegetables, toick, cut the gs or power obviously, and we're said to go, he didn't.

Grow the trout. I'd just like to say he caught it. I've actually got still got some of my fridgish thing. Could I have that from my lunch today? Would that be extremely him? Yeah? So relatable, isn't it complaining about the price of salmon the general populace? Yeah? Amen, if you've seen the price of kevier lately, that's off the chart. I am glad at heart bet with more relatable facts like that tomorrow and seeing.
