1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,079
Speaker 1: Jason Wall's used dogs be political editors with us A Jason,

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: good afternoon.

3
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 2: So did the Greens and Winston have a bit of

4
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 2: a spat?

5
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: Did they? No, they held hands and they hugged and

6
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: said that they were with the best. Of course they

7
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: had a spat. It wouldn't be Parliament with out those

8
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: two going loggerheads. It was quite an interesting one because

9
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: it started with a ministerial statement that Winston Peters gave

10
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: as Foreign Minister, and Winston started the proceedings. It was

11
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: quite pointed, I thought, have a listen.

12
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: We prefer diplomacy to moral outrage. Indeed, ours is a

13
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 2: foreign policy of colletting all the facts, hearing all the perspectives,

14
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: and applying a careful, reasonable, cool headed approach to the situation,

15
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 2: not knee jerk reaction and simplistic moral posturing. Those in

16
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: this House who rush to condemn will call out one

17
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: actor or other, or who demand the government to do

18
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: the same, should plause to reflect on whether they are

19
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: seeking to understand and influence what's going on, or simply

20
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: virtue signal about it.

21
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: Now if you're wondering who he's talking about, it didn't

22
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: take too long for that mystery to be solved in

23
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: the House.

24
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 3: The Green patty condemns the United States unlawful and aggressive

25
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 3: strikes on Iran, and we call on the government to

26
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 3: do the same.

27
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: So with a topic like this, these two, as I said,

28
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: were always going to clash, and that's exactly what happened.

29
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: And it didn't take long for Winston to respond to

30
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: the way that Madame and Davison was speaking to him

31
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: in some of those questions.

32
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 2: But I have to say, when it comes to the

33
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: proxies for Iran that have committed so much terrorism in

34
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: the loss of thousands of lives, harmas his bela, the

35
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 2: hoodies with respect to Iran, when it comes to that,

36
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 2: the Greens have been not a syllable lot of sound,

37
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 2: not a matter lot of murmur, no continents whatsoever.

38
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: And so the Green leadership didn't like that. So they

39
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: went back and forth, back and forth, back and forth,

40
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: before Jerry Brownly had to step in.

41
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: Yes, the Iran's people have been under forty years of

42
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: differents right on with superior that drag thanks five seekings

43
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: to examine it. Neither party here is running speak the

44
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: orum that you'd expect out of past size. But you're

45
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 2: not going to get her both sides to standing orders,

46
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,119
Speaker 2: speakers rolling swe fifty one.

47
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: So we have the government calling for a ceasefire between

48
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: Iran and Israel and Jerry Browne calling for a ceasefire

49
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: between the Greens and New Zealand.

50
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: First, has Chloe been throwing shade at Chris Luckson's travel agender?

51
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: She has. I have a listened to what she called

52
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: it this morning. He him is presently offshore, swanning around,

53
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: swanning around. She reckons, this is the Prime minister who's

54
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: at NATO at the moment. You know, if there was

55
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: a place to be on planet Earth right now, I reckon,

56
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: it would probably be NATO if you're a global if

57
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: you're a world leader. Before that, he was with our

58
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: biggest trading partners, China, meeting at President shi Jingping, just

59
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: swatting around Old Chris Luxen. Yeah, I've been on dozens

60
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: of these trips with the Prime ministers. They don't sworn around.

61
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: They've got quite a packed agenda. And I'll tell you what,

62
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: Nikola Willis wasn't having a bar of her comments.

63
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 3: I think the naive because it is absolutely essential for

64
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 3: New Zealanders that we are well represented on the world

65
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 3: stage and that involves person to person relationships with leaders.

66
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: Defense Minister Judith Collins wasn't impressed either.

67
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: Well, thank the Lord.

68
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 3: I'm not responsible for the Greens and their utterances, but honestly,

69
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 3: the Prime Minister is absolutely flat out doing the same

70
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 3: sort of work at NATO.

71
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: And going to visit our memorials there. I guess that's

72
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: what the Greens do when they're ever sees. So no

73
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: swaning around for these government ministers, not today.

74
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: What was it that Chloe would rather he was doing.

75
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe meander, maybe strutt, I don't know

76
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: which way that she thinks he should be walking.

77
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, I thank you very much, Jason appreciate it.
