The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail.Alright, you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites! We assembled The Chiefs for a timely pod to discuss campaigning while governing! Typically with The Chiefs, we discuss issues from the perspective of people who think about them NOT as campaigners do, i.e. what might be ideal in a political sense, but rather, what's possible to deliver in a governing sense.But because these guys are 3 of the best political minds in the country, and we're right in the middle of Campaign 45, I want to change it up a bit. We'll spend about half our time today talking about how each of them would be advising the various campaigns given the current state of play. And then, for Part 2, I want to cover how they'd deal with managing a PMO or leader's office in a campaign like this one with actual news in it, i.e. Trump. How do you function juggling campaigning and daily governing in challenging times? What's the relationship with the bureaucracy?You know them, three former Chiefs of Staff to some of Canada's most accomplished heads of government:Ian Brodie – first Chief of Staff to Stephen Harper, and central to the founding of the CPC. Now … Professor of Political Science at the University of Calgary.Tim Murphy – former Chief of Staff to Paul Martin. Now ...  the newly installed EVP and Chief Strategic Affairs Officer at AECON.Brian Topp – former Chief of Staff to Rachel Notley in Alberta, Deputy Chief to Roy Romanow in Saskatchewan, one of the architects of Jack Layton's Orange Wave.

This week on the Raw Politics podcast: what voters want on climate change policy, will ministers ditch the foreshore repeal, plus Ayesha Verrall's faux pasClimate change is hard and changing New Zealanders' attitudes and behaviour seems harder still for this Government and its predecessors. Should the coalition accept that's the reality and go slow and low in its ambitions for change?The Raw Politics podcast looks at the coalition's latest report on methane from farm animals – a dense scientific fig leaf that could allow ministers to let NZ do less to cut emissions.Newsroom political editor Laura Walters, senior political reporter Marc Daalder and co-editor Tim Murphy ask if the national and international mood on dealing with climate change is enabling National, Act and NZ First to give up, even if just a little, on our national targets.For our second topic, Murphy recaps the short history of the foreshore, seabed Māori customary rights and the Marine and Coastal Areas Act. And he explains the Government's latest options to either withdraw its urgent repeal Bill or stay staunch and restrict Māori from winning claims in the courts.Would the ruling coalition get egg on its face if it backs down, or would that act to lower tensions that exist in Crown relations with Māori over other controversial measures like the Treaty Principles Bill?The panel asks if Labour's Ayesha Verrall went too far in her personal comments against Health NZ chair Lester Levy – and whether that took the focus off the actual scandal of the health commissioners trying to game their annual budgets.--------------------This week's recommendations:Tim: Jonathan Milne's scoop revealing Health NZ and Lester Levy were stopped by the auditor-general from shifting costs from this year into last, in what could have been embarrassing for the last, Labour governmentMarc: RNZ's story on the oil and gas lobby asking the Government to underwrite fossil fuel explorationLaura: A piece by Tom Hunt from The Post on the Vision for Wellington lobby group and their communications with the PM and other senior Government ministers --------------------Raw Politics will be available every Friday here on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube too.Read more on Newsroom - https://newsroom.co.nz

This week on the Raw Politics podcast: The hikoi's over, now for a half year of claim and counterclaim, dissent and debate. Plus: NZ speaks out of both sides of its mouth at COP29.Prime Minister Christopher Luxon did not meet the Treaty Principles Bill hikoi crowd, sees “nothing” of merit in the Act-proposed law but the Parliament his Government dominates will spend six months debating a “divisive” measure.That's because he has accepted there needs to be “aeration” of people's views on the Treaty, and his party acceded to Act's pressure to include the Bill in the coalition agreement. So, having made this legislative bed, Luxon will now have to lie in it.Newsroom political editor Laura Walters and co-editor Tim Murphy look at how Luxon has played his cards so far, and how he might withstand an ongoing storm of criticism from Māori and others.For Act's David Seymour, a possible nominee for most effective politician of the year before this latest play, the hearings on his Bill will finish just as he receives his coalition-deal-bauble of becoming Deputy Prime Minister until 2026.While he's successfully grabbed the political ground this year, and will no doubt use the new position to continue pushing his policies and views, is there a risk that Act will repeat the sins of its own past in straying away from economic reform, personal freedoms, minimising the state and ending waste, and be diverted by race and stunts?For our second topic, Laura talks to regular Raw Politics panelist Marc Daalder who is reporting for Newsroom at the COP29 climate summit in Baku, Azerbaijan. He describes the pressures and expectations facing the 60,000 attendees in seeking answers on carbon finance and agreements to hold the world to the Paris targets.And we hear how the New Zealand climate minister Simon Watts has performed, with messages for an external audience that might not fly so easily to the domestic crowd.--------------------This week's recommendations:Tim: A story from Stuff's Tony Wall who was with the Mongrel Mob in Ōpōtiki on the eve of the ban on gang patches and consorting.

As Donald Trump prepares to enter the White House for a second term, the reasons people voted him into office are becoming more clear. For Micki Witthoeft, it's cause for celebration. Her daughter, Ashli Babitt, was shot and killed by a police officer after storming the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Today, Witthoeft is confident Trump will stand by his word and pardon everyone involved. “He said his administration's going to be one on ‘promises made and promises kept,' ” she said. “I felt like he was talking right to me.”But it's not the same sentiment for all voters. This week on Reveal, we look at the many contradictions behind Trump's victory, with stories from hosts Hanna Rosin and Lauren Ober of the new podcast from The Atlantic, We Live Here Now; Mother Jones reporter Tim Murphy; and Reveal producer Najib Aminy. We delve into January 6ers seeking pardons, “messy middle” voters who split their ballots, and members of the Uncommitted movement who wouldn't vote for Kamala Harris despite being opposed to Trump.  Support Reveal's journalism at Revealnews.org/donatenow Subscribe to our weekly newsletter to get the scoop on new episodes at Revealnews.org/weekly Instagram

On this week's Raw Politics podcast: The Act and Māori parties at point-blank range, plus the risk of the Crown apology petering outParliament saw two historic days this week, one of great solemnity and unity, the other a raucous and high-stakes stand-off between political foes over the Treaty of Waitangi.Raw Politics looks first at the volatile reception for Act's Treaty Principles Bill at its first reading, how parties performed to their voting bases, and what lies ahead now in select committee hearings over the next six months.Newsroom political editor Laura Walters and co-editor Tim Murphy, co-piloting the panel with both Marc Daalder and Sam Sachdeva on assignment overseas, look beyond the heat of Thursday's drama to search for any light in the arguments both ways for a law change.Before the first reading, Act leader David Seymour had claimed the bill was not “divisive”. National leader Christopher Luxon responded that it was divisive. Parties traded allegations over the origins of division.The optics of the three opposition parties standing together in haka, but the three parties of government divided by Act's proposed law, were a first this parliamentary term.The panel discusses the motivation of the National speakers who spoke from remarkably similar talking points, dissing Act while seeking credit for their party's approach to individual Treaty and race measures.Then it's onto the milestone moment of the Crown Apology to victims of abuse in state care – an occasion unlike the Treaty Principles Bill first reading, that could be the beginning of meaningful, lasting change.But will it? Or might the goodwill and hope and promises of Tuesday dissipate as the bureaucracy, politicians and voters tire of the complexity and burden of creating a just system of redress.--------------------This week's recommendations:Tim: A report by the US broadcaster ABC on satirical site The Onion swooping in and buying from liquidators the assets, brand and database of the far-right InfoWars site that went bankrupt after owner and shock jock Alex Jones claimed the Sandy Hook school massacre was fake.Sam: Marc's morning-after opinion column on the US election and the threat of Trump to democracyLaura: Tim's story with David Williams on Newsroom revealing Parliament's Speaker Gerry Brownlee relented on Monday to allow journalist Aaron Smale to attend the Crown apology.--------------------Raw Politics will be available every Friday here on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube too.Read more on Newsroom - https://newsroom.co.nz

Well, that appears to be the Act Party's strategy launching its Treaty Principles Bill in Parliament with not a single vote in support of it passing likely from any of Parliament's other five political parties.Raw Politics looks at the political motivations behind a Bill widely judged to be dead-on-arrival and the challenges it presents to everyone from the Waitangi Tribunal to the National, NZ First and opposition parties.Newsroom senior political reporter Marc Daalder, national affairs editor Sam Sachdeva and co-editor Tim Murphy discuss the introduction of the Bill, with no fanfare and in the absence of its solo advocate Act leader David Seymour.Parties have undermined their coalition partners in the past, withdrawing support for proposals or making untenable conditions to prevent their passing.

In 2020, as elections officials counted votes in Phoenix, protesters swarmed outside the Maricopa County election center. Many held flags; some had AR-15s. Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was there yelling into a bullhorn, “Burn in hell, Joe Biden.” They claimed the election was stolen. Since then, dozens of court cases across the country have all found no evidence of widespread fraud. Despite that, election workers in Arizona's Maricopa County and across the country continue to be threatened, harassed, and doxxed.“Top election officials throughout the state have been turning over at the rate of a lunch shift at Taco Bell,” said Stephen Richer, the Maricopa County recorder. Richer, a Republican, says he voted for Donald Trump in 2020, but since taking office in 2021, he has spent a lot of his time working to dispel the election lies Trump helped create. And he's faced ongoing death threats for steadfastly pushing back on those lies.  This week on Reveal: Mother Jones reporter Tim Murphy takes listeners inside the recently fortified election center in Maricopa County, where Richer's staff are on a mission to demonstrate to voters that the election process is free and fair and deserving of their trust. Murphy joins a public tour, one of at least 150 that have occurred since January 2021.Meanwhile in Georgia, new members of the State Election Board try to rewrite the rules to favor Trump. Mother Jones national voting rights correspondent Ari Berman unpacks the battle for control of the election results in the crucial swing state.Also on this show, a Reveal exclusive from the archives: an interview with Kamala Harris that has never before been broadcast. Nina Martin sat down with Harris when she was attorney general of California.

Tim Murphy is the CEO of Boomers Parks. With a rich career background that spans various sectors within the entertainment and hospitality industries, Tim has brought significant transformations to Boomers Parks since taking on the role in June 2020. Under his leadership, the company has seen a focus on improving food and beverage offerings, repurposing real estate, and enhancing team engagement. His initiatives have not only increased profitability but also improved the overall guest experience. In this interview, Tim talks about high-quality food, repurposing retail, and the power of people. High-Quality Food “The investment in enhancing food and beverage quality also enhances the attraction component of the business as well.” Tim emphasizes the pivotal role that high-quality food plays in the success of Boomers Parks. By investing in better food and beverage offerings, Boomers Parks has significantly increased the length of guest stays, which in turn boosts overall spending. Tim explains that the introduction of high-quality food items, while retaining fan favorites like pizza and hamburgers, has kept guests satisfied and engaged longer. The approach has shifted the typical visit duration from 90 minutes to three or four hours, resulting in higher per capita spending across various attractions within the parks. The strategic focus on food quality extends beyond merely offering better meals. It creates a comprehensive guest experience that encourages visitors to spend more time on-site. This, in turn, leads to increased spending on attractions and games. Tim's philosophy demonstrates that enhancing one aspect of the park, such as food quality, can have a ripple effect on overall business performance, making it a crucial element of the park's operations. Repurposing Retail “I believe there's a plethora of locations to go to. And the good thing for those in the FEC space is landlords are flexible.” Tim Murphy sees immense potential in repurposing vacant retail spaces for family entertainment centers (FECs). With many big-box retailers closing down, there is an abundance of available real estate that can be transformed into engaging indoor entertainment venues. Tim highlights that spaces ranging from 20,000 to 50,000 square feet are ideal for FECs, providing ample room for various attractions while being manageable and cost-effective. The flexibility of landlords with these vacant properties presents a unique opportunity for FEC operators. Tim notes that landlords are often willing to offer favorable terms, such as reduced rent and funding for tenant improvements, to fill their empty spaces. This not only revitalizes unused properties but also creates new destinations that draw foot traffic, potentially benefiting the surrounding businesses. By repurposing retail spaces, Boomers Parks can create controlled environments less affected by weather, ensuring consistent and enjoyable guest experiences. The Power of People “We want to be competitive with wages...but what else do we want to be able to offer and remind our team members that we're doing differently than other potential opportunities for them to go to?” Tim underscores the importance of people in the success of Boomers. He believes that fostering a supportive and engaging work environment is crucial for both employee satisfaction and guest experience. Under his leadership, Boomers has developed a set of core values that include safety, inclusion, and accountability. These values are not just posted on walls but are actively lived and reinforced through regular training and communication. To attract and retain top talent, Boomers offers competitive wages and additional perks such as free meals, snacks, and drinks for employees during their shifts. The company also implements a points-based reward system, where employees can earn points for exceptional performance and redeem them for gift cards, merchandise, or trips. This consistent recognition of good work helps build a motivated and dedicated team. By focusing on the well-being and development of their employees, Boomers Parks ensures that their team is committed to delivering outstanding service, thus enhancing the overall guest experience.   For those interested in learning more about Boomers Parks or exploring franchising opportunities, Tim can be contacted directly at tim@boomersparks.com.

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail.One of my favourite things about this gig, is the panel conversations we put together here on the pod. I think they're unique conversations, with a level of experience and depth of thinking all-too rare these days in media.This series is one of my favourites… The Chiefs are back! Making their 5th appearance here on The Herle Burly, 3 former Chiefs of Staff to some of Canada's most accomplished heads of government.Ian Brodie – first Chief of Staff to Stephen Harper, and central to the founding of the CPC. Now … Professor of Political Science at the University of Calgary.Tim Murphy – former Chief of Staff to Paul Martin … now CEO and ManagingPartner at McMillan LLP.Brian Topp – former Chief of Staff to Rachel Notley in Alberta … Deputy Chief to Roy Romanow in Saskatchewan … and one of the architects of Jack Layton's Orange Wave. Today, he's a founding partner at GT&co.We struck this panel to discuss the issues from the perspective of people who think about them NOT as campaigners do — i.e., what might be ideal in a political sense — but rather, from the POV of what's possible to deliver in a governing sense. And so today, 7 days after the federal budget and its suite of measures, we'll do a situation assessment of the government and all the parties. So, all the governing grist you could ever want, packed into the next hour.Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

DENNIS ANYONE? with Dennis Hensley
Author Tim Murphy ("Speech Team"): "I Don't Even Think I Knew What Mincing Meant"

DENNIS ANYONE? with Dennis Hensley

Dennis is joined via Zoom by novelist Tim Murphy to discuss his latest novel Speech Team, which he describes as a book about "small T trauma." The book is about four friends in their 40's who were on their high school speech team who reunite and decide to confront the teacher who led the group and said some f-ed up things to each of them back in the 80's. Tim talks about how this is his most autobiographical novel yet and how he actually prefers to write about characters who are less close to home. Dennis, who was also on his high school speech team in Arizona, compares notes and memories with Tim about what the experience meant to them and they each recall the different "cuttings" they performed at tournaments. Dennis also asks Tim about his earlier novel, Christadora, and how he was able to write so vividly and accurately about the worlds of addiction, recovery and early AIDS activism. Other topics include: his substack Caftan Chronicles where he does long-form interviews with gay men of a certain age, the Phil Collins song that reminds him of his favorite speech team memory, how he sometimes cried when he writes and the pride he takes in having "stuck with writing all these years out of some base belief that something would come out of it." https://thecaftanchronicles.substack.com/
