Podcast appearances and mentions of John Banks

I'm starting to wonder who isn't running for mayor in Wellington. Former Labour leader Andrew Little is the latest one joining the race to oust current mayor Tory Whanau. And, just in case you think so, I'm not endorsing Andrew Little in any way, shape, or form. But I do think having former MPs on local councils is a very good thing. Because whether we like it or not, local councils cannot operate in isolation and knowing how things in Wellington work is invaluable. Andrew Little isn't the first ex-MP wanting to get into local government. Former National MP Nick Smith is the mayor of Nelson. Phil Goff was mayor of Auckland. In Christchurch, former Labour politician Lianne Dalziel was elected mayor three times. Maurice Williamson —who was a National MP and minister— is on Auckland Council these days. John Banks. The list goes on. And they don't admit it at the time, but when these ex-MPs stand for their local councils, it's not just their political experience they're banking on. They also know full well that they're making the most of apathetic voters who look for a name they know and end up voting for them. When it comes to name recognition, I reckon an ex-MP has way more chance of being successful in the job than some of the other people you see milking their name recognition to get elected to their local council. People in my game do it. In fact, it seems to me that if media people don't go on to be marriage and funeral celebrants, they go on to be a local councillor. Not that you will ever catch me doing that. Last thing I'd want to do. Sportspeople milk their name recognition too. I'm not in Tauranga and don't know all the ins-and-outs, but I think it's pretty safe to say that the reason Mahe Drysdale is the mayor of Tauranga is because of his brilliant rowing career. He's got none of this so-called “business experience” that some people think is essential for someone to be good at running a town or a city. He's got no prior political experience. He's just a name. Voters obviously thought he was a good Kiwi bloke, he's done well in his sport, so they voted for him. Not that, from what I've seen, it's been all plain sailing for him so far. I've seen a few stories with him getting heat for stuff – and that is where people's lack of political experience shows. And why I think it's a very good thing to have people former MPs on our local councils. They're not perfect —Lianne Dalziel was far from perfect— but they know what they're getting themselves into. They generally don't set the world on fire, but I don't care about that. Because, whether we like it or not, local and central government are intertwined. Local government is way more dependent on central government than it would like to admit. Especially, when they're in the schtuck. When they need to get Wellington on their side. Which is why having people as mayors and councillors who know exactly how to get the government on side —because they've been there and done that— that's why it is so beneficial. And that's why I'll take an ex-politician over an ex-media personality or an ex-sporting hero any day, when it comes to who I want to see on my local council.

Clinical trials exist to help prevent, screen for, diagnose, or treat diseases and other health problems. Without them, we would not have new treatments or other advances in health and medicine. But how are the clinical trial endpoints, or the preferred outcomes of these trials determined? Today, Anthony Gucciardo NKF's Senior Vice President of Strategic Partnerships, Dr. Joseph Vassalotti, NKF's Chief Medical Officer, and Kent Bressler, a Patient advocate and FSGS patient, discuss this and more.   In this episode we heard from:  Dr. Joseph Vassalotti MD Dr. Vassalotti is the Chief Medical Officer of the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) and Clinical Professor of Medicine in the Division of Nephrology, at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

Currently, he serves as Principal Investigator for the Kidney Score Platform, an NKF educational project funded by the Veterans Administration Center for Innovation to improve awareness and education among Veterans with and at risk for CKD in the primary care setting. He is also a co-investigator for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's CKD Surveillance Project. Dr. Vassalotti typically sees approximately 40 patients per week and has over 100 publications in peerreviewed journals. Anthony Gucciardo Anthony is responsible for forging and maintaining relations with key external stakeholders across a wide range of industries, to advance NKF's mission and objectives, along with those of its partner organizations.  Anthony oversees two national Corporate Development Teams, focused on securing revenue necessary to ensure NKF programmatic excellence and impact.  He has been with the Foundation since 2002. Prior to NKF, Anthony was a Hematopoietic Stem Cell Technologist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, where he was responsible for processing autogeneic/allogeneic bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cells for transplantation.

In 2022, the population of western monarch butterflies reached its highest number in decades, 335,000, according to the annual Western Monarch Count in California and Arizona, marking the second year in a row for a positive tally of the species numbers. While that count is celebrated by conservationists, they also point to the need to protect monarchs' overwintering sites in North America, which continue to suffer degradation and destruction each year.

A claim Auckland's new mayor needs to get some more political allies.   Wayne Brown has had a contentious first week as mayor calling for the resignation of Eku Panuku Development chairman Paul Majurey  Auckland Transport's Board Chair resigned last Saturday night.   Brown has also been reluctant to give interviews to media.   Former Auckland City Mayor John Banks says he doesn't need to cater to journalists but told Heather du Plessis-Allan he won't be able to make change alone.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Just how easy is it to get 1000hp out of an Audi 4-litre? With reflashing's capabilities growing every year, will standalone ECUs ever become obsolete? And what makes someone drop their profession as a doctor to tune cars full time?All these questions and many more are answered in this week's episode of the High Peformance Academy Tuned In podcast with John Banks and Mitch McKee, the brains behind Dyno Spectrum.Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inDyno Spectrum is best known for its popular DS1 package for various Audi and Lamborghini platforms. It allows for easy wireless real-time reflashing of factory ECUs and includes provisions for Flexfuel, high-speed datalogging, as well as a long list of off-the-shelf maps to work with whatever level of modification a car has. Both John and Mitch have been in the game for years and bring a wealth of knowledge to this conversation. While they first met when working for Cobb reverse engineering factory ECUs, both had quite different and interesting career paths to get where they are today — especially John who, up until a few years ago, was a practising doctor who worked with automotive electronics and tuned cars after hours for fun.The conversation jumps into factory ECUs, digging deep into how they work, and why they do the things they do that at first inspection don't make a whole lot of sense. Reflashing, as you'd expect, is also covered in fascinating detail.The big question that seems to be getting harder and harder to answer is also discussed: reflash vs standalone — when do we need to ditch the factory ECU and go MoTeC, Haltech, Link, or anything else? Do we even need to at all? Follow Dyno Spectrum here:IG: @dynospectrumFB: Dyno SpectrumWWW: dynospectrum.comWant to learn how to tune EFI? Start here instantly, and for free: https://hpcdmy.co/tuneb

I sort of hate saying this because I actually really like Viv Beck, but I do think she needs to think very seriously about throwing in the towel in the Auckland mayoral race for the sake of the city. John Banks has got a point in what he was saying in the Herald this morning. At this rate, she can't win. Her polls are slipping, her campaign is not good enough to lift those polls. All she's doing right now is splitting the vote between the two candidates on the right — herself and Wayne Brown — and ensuring Efeso Collins on the left gets into the mayoralty. Have you seen Efeso Collins' policies? Are you sure this is the guy you want as the mayor of Auckland? There are three things I worry about: 1. He supports giving a lane on the Harbour Bridge to cyclists. Permanently. That's gonna screw the traffic coming in from the North Shore big time when it's already screwed up enough. 2. He supports building another harbour crossing that doesn't allow cars on it. So just for the climate friendly transport. That's not very smart for a city as jammed up as Auckland. 3. He supports light rail. Light rail is one of the dumbest transport ideas in its current design. It's gonna cost us $30 billion. Complete waste of money. Collins is basically a Labour guy just repeating the same stuff from the Labour guys in the Beehive. So we might end up voting them out this time next year, but we're still going to be stuck with their ridiculous ideas about transport in our biggest city because their guy Efeso Collins is the mayor. One of the two candidates on the right needs to stand down and give the other one a fighting chance. Viv's polling is lower, which is why she probably needs to stand down. She's on 12.5 percent on the latest Ratepayers Alliance Curia poll. Wayne Brown is on quite a bit more on 18.6 percent, Efeso Collins is on 22.3 percent, but apparently he is a bit stuck in the mid-twenties, so he is beatable. Leo Molloy pulled out last week to stop Efeso's policies becoming reality. You can't have Leo being more grown up than Viv here so she needs to do the same. The worst thing for her to do would be to split the vote to ensure Efeso Collins wins and condemn Auckland to another three years of this nonsense. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An Auckland Mayoral candidate says she isn't going anywhere. Former Auckland City mayor John Banks is calling on the business leader to throw in the towel to avoid splitting the vote with Wayne Brown. Beck's poll ratings have slumped from 20 percent in June to 12.5 per cent in last Friday's Ratepayers' Alliance-Curia poll, behind Brown and Councillor Efeso Collins. Viv Beck was asked by Heather Du Plessis Allan whether she will drop out to give Wayne Brown a chance. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Let's talk about crime, because all the politicians are as they often do as election time approaches.Nothing unnerves an electorate like a crime wave and the party that seems the toughest to fight a crime threat gets a boost in the polls.Right now National and ACT are running the line that Labour is soft on crime.Yesterday, Chris Hipkins the Police Minister reiterated that the tough on crime rhetoric is exactly that, rhetoric.This morning Mark Mitchell said that Hipkins refusal to say whether they are either tough or soft on crime is evidence that they are in fact soft on crime.So today, Labour has unveiled what they call a gang crackdown.It's a spruce up of the rules.  Toughening some, closing loopholes, plugging gaps.The overwhelming feeling I had was that I couldn't believe that some of these new offences weren't already offences.Previously under the Crimes Act the crime of threatening with a firearm only applied if you were inside the same house as the good folk you were threatening.So driving by and shooting at a house to give the occupants a tickle up was never an offence.It's astounding.  You then have to ask yourself how many administrations that claimed to be tough on crime missed this one. John Banks missed it, Muldoon missed it, National missed it and Labour missed itAnd because all these amendments were hiding in plain sight it makes you wonder whether Hipkins asked the police to have a hunt and find some stuff that sounds tough.It's called virtue signalling. It's politiciking. Sounds tough, but changes little.  Much like Simon Bridges swaggering around with his Strike Force Raptor idea.And that's the great problem with the debate on law and order.  The grandstanding and the exaggeration from politicians with no idea on frontline policing.Are we in a crime wave?  Serious crimes stats are actually down. However, we did have a gang war between two gangs which ended out in 23 houses being shot.Is that an explosion of gun violence on the streets as Christopher Luxon told his London audience last week?Did our post terrorist attack gun laws fail? Well no houses got shot with an AR15 or any other military style semi-automatic. It mostly your common or garden shotgun and the odd high-power hunting rifleI feel this rhetoric that the police are soft on crime repeated over and over again by oppositions politicians and commentators for their own popularity is actually doing more damage to the mana of the police than any government's policies.I'd rather we let the cops doing their job and tell us what they need. They're the professionalsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of the biggest political issues in Maine these days is a bid by Hydro Quebec to push a corridor through pristine wilderness to carry power across the state to Massachusetts. Land defenders say Hydro Quebec's billing of the corridor as "clean power" is a green lie, evidenced by the impact on Indigenous people in Labrador in Quebec. This week, we speak with John Banks of the Penobscot Nation and Becky Bartovics of Sierra Club Maine about the impact of this corridor on the land, and the ways in which land defenders based in the U.S. are supporting Innu in their bid for Churchill Falls hydro compensation.

The two new cases of Covid-19 identified in the Auckland community last night are the South African variant which is more infectious. The Panel speaks to Professor Michael Plank from the University of Canterbury in New Zealand and Principal Investigator at Te Pūnaha Matatini about the latest developments. Rents soared after the Government's restriction on rental increases in response to Covid-19 was lifted last year. The Panel speaks to Murdoch Stephens, author of Rat King Landlord, for his response. MediaWorks has axed fill-in Magic Talk host John Banks over comments he and a listener made about Māori. The panellists share their views on the situation.

MediaWorks has replaced former politician John Banks as a talkback host and apologised for his comments condemning "stone age" Maori culture and warning "these people will be coming through your bathroom window." But there was plenty more in his programme to offend listeners and alarm advertisers.

Prospective politicians with hired hands from PR are flying kites in the media before committing to a campaign. Candidates running for office should be covered as news but can the media avoid being used for political publicity and market research?
