1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: Afternoon. Trevor Mallard is being sued by a teenager for 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: turning the sprinklers on the protests at Parliament in twenty 3 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,559 Speaker 1: twenty two. The girl was eleven at the time. She's 4 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: accusing him of causing mental anguish, humiliation and dehumanization by 5 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: weaponizing baby Shark, and she's seeking forty thousand dollars in damages. 6 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: Tudor Clee is the lawyer taking the case and with 7 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: us now hate Tudor. 8 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 2: Good afternoon, Tudor. 9 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 1: While I love that you're suing him and he absolutely 10 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 1: does deserve this. This is not going to succeed, is it. 11 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 2: Well? I think it is, and that's why we're taking 12 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 2: the case. I mean, ultimately, it's a case about whether 13 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 2: or not this child was degraded and having extrements slided 14 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 2: into her and being blasted with music is, on the 15 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 2: face of it, my view, degrading. And if it isn't, 16 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 2: then what is it? 17 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: Are you doing this pro bono? 18 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 2: Yes? 19 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: I am Why? 20 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 2: Well, I think that we've got to a point where 21 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 2: we can even have consensus about whether or not it's 22 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,759 Speaker 2: wrong to flood excrement into children order to blastom with music. 23 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 2: And I think that something has to be done about. 24 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: Just because you said it twice, what do you mean 25 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: by by flood excrement into children? 26 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 2: Well, so there doesn't seem to be any dispute that 27 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 2: Trevor Mallard flooded the Parliament grounds like he told police 28 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 2: that he was going to do it, he did it 29 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 2: the next day, he went at the News and said 30 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 2: he did it. A week after he told Audrey Young 31 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 2: at the Herald that he was aware that there was 32 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 2: excrement in the grounds and that's what he was flooding 33 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 2: the water through it. So the police described it as 34 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 2: a quagmire of quagmire of human feces and mud by 35 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 2: the next day. So again there doesn't seem to be 36 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 2: any dispute about the sanitation issues that were there. And 37 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 2: so the question is that is this how we treat 38 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 2: people in New Zealand? Kind of like that. 39 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: I love that he's getting his come ups, but this 40 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: is exactly the kind of long bow that's been drawn 41 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: in this case. It would appear that makes it really 42 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: unlikely it's going to succeed. 43 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 2: Well, if it doesn't succeed other then at least we 44 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 2: know moving forward that if you have a protest of 45 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 2: parliament and you disagree with the people, then you open 46 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,959 Speaker 2: the sewage and you flood them out. And if that's 47 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,839 Speaker 2: how if that's what the case is, then I think 48 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 2: that everyone. 49 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: Look, I'm not a fan of Truva Mallied, but I 50 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: feel like you are exaggerating what's happened here. He didn't 51 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: open the sewage, did he. I mean he played the 52 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: macrena at people like a child and then turned on 53 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: the sprinklers, knowing full well that they would likely to 54 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: be damaged. I mean, if we stick to the facts, 55 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 1: what he did was was head like a dickhead. Right, Yeah, 56 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: I'm not going to argue with that. Sure, Okay, have 57 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: you heard from him? 58 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 2: No? I haven't. I mean, it's it's obviously in a 59 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 2: court process. But so the asway is that it's just progressing. 60 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: Okay, And when is this likely to actually go to court? 61 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 2: I would say probably about a year to get a 62 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 2: try they realistically. 63 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 1: Okay, are you worried at all about wasting court time here? 64 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 2: No? Absolutely not. I think these sollegitimate questions that need 65 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 2: to be answered. 66 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: Okay, you the best of luck. I really appreciate your time. 67 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: We'll keep an eye on it. That's tu toically a 68 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: lawyer taking the case.
