Queen Elizabeth Death

With the Queen's passing, I'm reminded that society is brainwashed into idolizing famous people. I'll give you some great examples in this podcast of exactly what I mean. There are some figures you can't say a bad thing about because you are trained to care for them. The Queen was a nice lady, but what exactly did she do for you to get emotional? Here's what you really should care about and when (if ever) you should let your emotions be in control.

Today on The Panel- Lorna Subrtizky and Morgan Godfery discuss Queen Memorial Day tomorrow – does it feel necessary a whole week after her funeral?  Plus- Bay of Plenty man Paul Cherry is paying $5,500 every 28 days to prolong his life and quality of life after being diagnosed with incurable prostate cancer – he was told by his oncologist the drug he was paying for would give him longer and a better quality of life than any funded options available in New Zealand – should Pharmac be funding the best drugs options available? Is it acceptable that he is having to pay for that best option?  Are you on board with recommendations for Auckland's next water source?  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

South Canterbury has opted to push their anniversary day forward to November 11th this year.  This is because the new memorial holiday set aside for Queen Elizabeth II's passing fell on the same date as the original anniversary date.  Waimate District Mayor, Craig Rowley, is pleased with the outcome.

Or, in fact, done by anyone other than the British. It's been fitting and amazing."   King Charles and the Pens: 2/10 "You can't hide from that sort of reaction and behaviour. As much as we wish him well, Operation Spring Tide didn't need either event."   The Public Holiday: 7/10 "I was surprised at just how big the pushback was. But you know we will all like it on the day, and it is just a one off."   Covid Traffic Light System Being Scrapped: 7/10 "Because most of the fear, misery, control, and madness has, at last, been dumped."   The Stopping of Daily Covid Numbers: 8/10 "That's the best part of all. The obsession with those numbers, that daily grind of power freaks, and guesswork was phenomenally unhealthy."   James Shaw: 7/10 "Pleased he got his job back. Hopefully the idiots that tried it on won't be back."   Te Pukenga - The National Polytech: 2/10 "CEO gone, and now the CFO gone. Just how many people does it take to walk before Chris Hipkins scratches his head long enough to work out it's not a good idea?"   Phillip Arps and the School Board Election: 7/10 "Because democracy won by him not winning. He came last, proving people can actually work it out for themselves."   The All Blacks: 6/10 "Crisis over. Another win next week. And all in all, it wasn't the end of the world, was it?"   LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEWSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fair enough for James Shaw to back his co-leader Marama Davidson over her speech about the Queen this week.  I can't see that Marama Davidson did anything wrong. I think some have the impression that using the first set of speeches to mark the Queen's death was the wrong time for Marama Davidson to have a crack at the royals for colonisation. And that she was complaining that the Queen's death was distracting from Maori language week. But that's not a fair representation of the speech. Marama Davidson was actually quite respectful.  She made a point at the start of the speech of acknowledging the grief the Queen's family will be feeling and the love many Maori have expressed for the Queen. And then gently spoke about colonisation and the impacts on Maori. And what she really saved her powder for was Parliament itself: the fact that Parliament was taking the week off. Marama Davidson argues a week is too long because there is too much work being missed now. On that point I wholeheartedly agree with her. Taking an entire week off smacks of nothing but laziness from MPs. On the other stuff - the impacts of colonisation - you might not agree with Marama Davidson.  People hold different opinions, but all you can ask is that they're voiced in a respectful and measured way and she did exactly that.   Which is a hell of a lot more than you say can about the Australian NRL player who called the Queen a dog, the indigenous academic in the states wishing pain on the Queen, or even the borderline stuff Maori party co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer was retweeting on the day the Queen died. At least Marama Davidson delivered her speech in a dignified way. So fair enough of James Shaw to back her up.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The queues to see the now-deceased Queen Elizabeth II are historically long, with wait times sitting at 30- 35 hours. However, MP's and their families seem to be an exception to the wait times, and this is drawing some backlash. UK correspondent Enda Brady explains it all here.

Newstalk ZB chief political reporter Aaron Dahmen joins Nick Mills to discuss the reaction to the death of Queen Elizabeth II, an understood spy meeting in Queenstown, chaos at Spring Hill Corrections Facility and new gang statistics.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With the Death of late Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles III is the new king of Great Britain and northern Ireland. The Late Queen left a quite a Green Legacy, She was quite frugal and kept a simple diet of local produce and meat that had low food miles. Last year, she expressed her irritation with climate change inaction ahead of the Cop26 conference. unlike the late Queen,  King Charles III, As Prince, was well known for his views on climate change, and for many years before this was popular and a thing, he was beating the drum about this. But will he continue the Late Queen's environmental legacy, as well has his own passion for environmentalism and be known as Charles the Green.Breaking: King Charles III has asked for the Queen's Green Canopy initiative to be extended into the spring of next year to allow people to turn it into a memorial for his mother.

I think if anything symbolized how stressful and exhausting this week has been for the new monarch, it was ‘Pengate'. We saw a very tense, irritated King Charles, flustered that his pen was leaking, and with it all captured on microphone, we got to hear just how annoyed he was. Some media labelled it ‘rude' others  referred to him as ‘losing his Royal cool'. This new incident off the back of a previous pen mishap he'd days earlier when he wanted his desk cleared and motioned angrily at his aides to do it, is a reminder, as if we needed it, that he is under phenomenal pressure, in trying circumstances, and he is handling it 'differently' to how we might. But then again, how do we know how we'd handle anything like this? We're not royals, and as much as we like to think they're 'just human' or 'just like you and me'.. they're not, they're a different breed. As long time listeners will know, I travelled on a plane with King Charles once. Prince back then, obviously. We were on Singapore Airlines, in First Class suites flying out of London. We were told at check in that some very special VIP's were boarding our flight and that they'd had to move our seats around to accommodate them. I of course immediately asked who the VIP's were, they wouldn't tell me. But we were bumped forward by one row so the VIP could slip into the back row – where arguably he'd be less likely to be stared at by the remaining 11 of us in that cabin.  When David Beckham hopped on board I assumed that was the VIP, and I was overjoyed and immediately broke all the rules and went to talk to him and of course get the obligatory selfie with him to show my kids. This to be frank was my kind of royalty anyway. But after sitting back down I was then aghast when a second VIP hopped on, and that was in fact the VIP we'd been moved for. The real VIP - Prince Charles. He sat behind us. He had a crew of suited and booted aides with him and they were carrying paperwork and what turned out to be food for the now King. Oat cakes, cheese and chutney, and his own china. Now I don't want to cast aspersions on a grieving and newly minted King, but this was a man who didn't suffer fools, and he seemed very adept at ordering people round. He certainly did not carry the light of foot demeanour or 'fun' vibe that Beckham did, he was definitely.. different. So while I admire the fact we want to view these people as ‘human' and ‘just like us' .. my experience is they're actually not. When you've grown up in an environment like that, of others deferring to you and serving you, and that is all you know, it must be incredibly hard to have to now tailor to the new modern generation desire for everyone to just ‘be human', or to ‘be humble'. The new young royals are more cognizant of optics, because they're a social media generation, hyper aware of how every move, glance or word can be interpreted and over interpreted and 'go viral'. But because they're so aware there's more inauthenticity in how they behave. They're more orchestrated. King Charles is a man in his 70's who has grown up knowing nothing but a royal existence, he's been surrounded by people doing things for him his whole life. He's also just lost his Mother, barely had a moment to grieve, as he's been on a public tour of speeches and hand shaking ever since. He doesn't suffer fools, or clearly dodgy pens. He's obviously not aware of being made into memes - nor does he probably care. So while some might say snapping at aides made him look 'rude', it may just be that that's all he knows.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I was talking to someone last night who is a staunch royalist. Ever since news of the Queen's death came through on Friday morning, this person has been glued to the coverage. On radio, on TV. She's all over it. In fact, this person is such a royalist that she very nearly jumped on a plane and flew to London when Princess Diana died 25 years ago. And when this person did make it to London, I think she spent most of her time at the Tower of London taking it all in, going to Windsor….loved it all. So when I asked this person last night what they thought about having a public holiday here in New Zealand to mark the Queen's passing, I was surprised by the response. She didn't think a holiday was justified. There was no in-depth reason for why she thought that. She just thought having a public holiday here would be over-the-top. And this is someone who was still a teenager when the Queen's reign began and has loved the Queen ever since. But even she doesn't think a public holiday is justified here in New Zealand. And I totally agree. The Australian Prime Minister beat us to it, announcing at the weekend that Australians will have a day off on 22 September for a National Day of Mourning. In the UK, the day of the Queen's funeral has already been declared a public holiday, and other countries are doing the same. So it's not just Australia. But just because other countries are doing it, doesn't mean we have to. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As this is my first time on ZB since the death of Elizabeth the Second, may I add my gratitude to the many who have praised her exceptional service. In the days since the expected but still devastating news I have been struck by how history is unfolding before our eyes. History is made up of milestones and crossroads and we are in the middle of an astounding period of change that we will all point to in the future. We are at the end of the Second Elizabethan age.  A 70 year period of incredible progress and modernisation, where technology has aided and abetted more individuality and self-determination than ever before. In coincides with the greatest pandemic for 100 years. The most impactful war since the World conflicts of last century.  Brexit and other economic developments changing world trade patterns. A worldwide inflation outbreak. And a climate that is becoming increasingly volatile. I feel people in the future will look back to this point as a significant point in this planet's history and here we are right in the middle of it. So change is in the air. And one of things that may change is the identity of our head of state. Already, many are saying why is a 73 year old Brit 12,000 miles away our head of state. And I get that. But my feeling is if it ain't broke, why fix it. We have a sophisticated political, constitutional and legal system that has evolved from our links with the Crown. As Head of State the King has no real power over our direction as a nation.  We are fully self-governing and autonomous. What he and his system does is provide is an impartial tool for when things go very wrong as they did in Australia in the Gough Whitlam years. For those unaware of the story the Australian Senate ended out in an impasse that crippled the country constitutionally.  Eventually the Governor General Kerr dissolved the Whitlam government, put opposition leader Malcolm Fraser in charge, and called a new election which Fraser won. To take such drastic action requires impartiality and a position beyond impunity.  You can't be seen to have a dog in the fight. The Crown has that position for countries like New Zealand and Australia. Political neutrality. The Armed Forces are also responsible to them which distances the Forces from accusations of political influence. And we get all this for next to nothing. To set up a President or a New Zealand Head of State would take a mountain of money and and bureaucracy. Add to all that the Maori point of view that the deal over nationhood and governance is with the Crown, then it's removal creates a wealth of issues over the Treaty which could become very fractious and further disadvantage Maori or settlers. Some say that we need to separate from the Crown to prove our national identity. To that I say our national identity is strong and independent. And so, if it ain't broke, why fix it?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A couple of observations from the weekend around the passing of the Queen. Piers Morgan came up with the best explanation of what she meant to the British. Look it up, it's thoughtful, insightful, and moving. That's observation number one. In a world of vacuous comment, more people than not these past few days have come to the party with their thoughts in an eloquent and kind fashion. The energy and effort was put in to say more than you would have expected on other occasions. Secondly, Morgan's words reinforce the Queen was more British than she was Commonwealth. Yes, she is mourned all over the world, but no more so than Britain. She was more the Queen of the United Kingdom than she was the Queen of anywhere else. But her global standing is of note as well. The world is full of royal families and most of us don't care about any of them. But the queen elevated the British monarchy to its own unique status. America loves royalty. But not for royalty's sake, they love the British version of royalty. And they love it because it offers them, like it offers us, something better than us or our circumstances. It's above the politics of the day, the discourse of the day, and the discontent of the day. It's a stable, reassuring presence no matter what happens in the world. Another observation though, FaceTime call from our youngest from school at lunch time. We ask whether she's been talking about the Queen. "Not really. It's not really the topic of the day here." There's a pause. "I think most of us just thought she was an old lady and eventually she would die." Ah, the reassuring superficiality of the young But my great joy in the monarchy, especially of late, is the dedication to service and duty. It almost sounds old fashioned saying that. In a post-Covid world where we have indulged ourselves to a ludicrous degree, for the monarch little changed. Little changed as we moved to the country, invented quiet quitting, started the great resignation, and all wound up and bound up in our own wee world of upheaval and change. I wonder how many times the Queen wanted to quietly quit? But duty, service, and a promise made all those years ago overrode it all. They are wonderful, uplifting, life-affirming characteristics that are so sorely and sadly missing too often these days. And you didn't have to be a monarchist to admire that.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Over the last couple of days many words have been spoken and memories shared about the extraordinary reign of Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away on Friday. Britain's longest reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth was a constant through times of unprecedented social change and challenges. She guided the monarchy into the modern era, where it not only survived, but renewed itself. She guided her family through turbulent times in the public eye. While she may not have always got it right, she learnt from her mistakes. As Robert Hardman said to me recently, when I interviewed him about his book Queen of our Times: The Life of Elizabeth II, the Queen never moved ahead of the times – she always made sure to move with the time. She didn't want to be fashionable. She understood the importance of stability, continuity, and permanence. The Queen has been part of most of our lives for all of our lives, but Hardman's definitive and intimate biography created a fondness for the Queen I hadn't felt before. He described the Queen to me in April when I interviewed him as dutiful, modest, reserved, quite shy, a steely resolve, great sense of humour, and as genuinely enjoying the job. It was the last bit about enjoying the job, which comes through strongly in Hardman's book, that struck me most. It made me think about the Queen in a different light. I'd always known she was the epitome of duty and service, but it's quite lovely to know she also enjoyed it. My grandparents had the opportunity to experience some of that warmth in 1986, when they had dinner with Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip aboard the royal yacht Britannia, birthed in Lyttleton. They were terribly nervous – there were strict instructions to be followed and a curtsey to perfect. My grandfather had suffered a stroke and didn't have the use of his left hand and walked with a cane. The thought of getting up the gangway, and him having to cut up his own meal played on my grandparent's minds. There was no need to worry. Their hosts were well briefed on all their guests. They spoke to them as if they knew them, and my grandfather's dinner was subtly presented in a manner he could manage with one arm. It didn't take long before they almost forgot they were dinning with the Queen. I always smiled when my grandmother said that – as if you could forget you were having dinner with the Queen! While no one would have forgiven the Queen for quietly retiring when her rock Prince Philip passed away last year, duty and her love of the job kept her working up to her dying day.

#THEH8TRIX: BLACK TWITTER JOKING ON QUEEN ELIZABETH DEATH?

I was in bed when I heard the news. I can't say I'll remember the moment itself. It didn't have the same shock value as Princess Di's death and unlike most other historically significant events, we know exactly what's coming over the next few days. The pageantry, the choreography, the careful coordination; it's all quite deliberate and precise. I'll be honest. I'm not a huge fan of the institution. I never have been. I prickle at the privilege of hereditary monarchies. I don't like aristocracy. For me and many people of my generation, the monarchy feels like an old-time throwback to empire and an imperial place in the world that Britain no longer holds and should no longer hold. I think it's possible to feel ambivalent (at best) about the institution and what it represents, and at the same time a deep respect for the Queen herself as an individual. In her case, the privileges of the role, the money and castles and special treatment, were surely offset by the extraordinary burden of service. The figure that stuck with me yesterday was 21,000 – the barely fathomable number of private service engagements the Queen undertook during her reign. No one on the face of the Earth will know a life quite like it. The small talk. The handshakes. The mindless monotony of having almost everyone in your company freak out when you walk in the room. One thing that has struck me is the sheer volume of people with memories and anecdotes of the occasions upon which they met the Queen. She was like a beach ball in a crowded stadium, passed along time and again for seventy years. Never stopping. A handful of plebs could reach out to her just for a moment in time, before the beach ball was bopped on. But everyone remembered their moment. In so many of those stories there is a lovely contrast. For the person she was meeting, the person with the story, the interaction was a huge moment, among the most memorable (and sometimes meaningful) few minutes in their life. But for the Queen, we can only imagine that in the vast majority of cases, the interaction represented the exact opposite. Just another Tuesday, just another handshake, just another how-do-you-do. I expect King Charles will have a difficult time maintaining the monarchy's relevance in a modern world. There are many people who feel an allegiance or a loyalty to, or a reverence for the Queen, who don't feel the same for King Charles. There will be scrutiny. There will be criticism. There will be many conversations about Republicanism. Without its matriarch, the Royal family's myriad issues feel all-the-more exposed. Queen Elizabeth II took the throne when meat was still being rationed in Britain in the post-war years, and lived to see the impacts of globalization, mass-digitalization, and the rise of new threats to democracy. In an increasingly tribal and partisan world, she was a steady, neutral force. She was the steady force. I admired the Queen's careful restraint. The Queen lived through arguably the greatest period of change the world has ever seen. And in that period of great change there is no figure on Earth who has represented a greater picture of stability. Queen Elizabeth was the constant. Now, the constant is gone.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In honour of the passing of Queen Elizabeth 11, we're making one of her favourite cake recipes. It's a no-bake cake and this is the original recipe as shared by the Queen's past royal chef Darryn McGrady.  CAKE  225g tea biscuits, like super wine or plain digestives  115g unsalted butter, softened  115g (a scant half cup) caster sugar  120g dark chocolate  1 egg  ICING  225g dark chocolate  Grease a 15cm cake tin – use a spring tin if you have one. Break each biscuit into almond size pieces and set aside. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until pale and creamy. Melt the dark chocolate until just melted and add this to the butter mixture, stirring constantly. Beat in the egg. Fold in the biscuit pieces until they are all coated with the chocolate mixture. Spoon the mixture into the prepared cake ring. Try to fill all of the gaps on the bottom of the tin as this becomes the top once turned out. Chill the cake for at least 3 hours. Gently melt the dark chocolate over a low heat. Once the cake has chilled, turn it out onto a wire rack. Pour over the melted chocolate and smooth the top and sides using a palette knife. Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature. Lift it onto a tea plate and serve in clean slices. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
