1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: Okay, Barry, so seeing your political correspondence with us.

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 2: Hey Barry, good afternoon. He right, run us through what

3
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 2: just happened. Well, I've never seen anything like it in

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 2: more than forty years of covering Parliament. The Speaker lost

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 2: control absolutely, and it's by no fault of his own.

6
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 2: It's by the fault of the MPs in the debating

7
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 2: chamber and in particular Rawi white to Tea. He's named

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 2: Hannah Rafiti Maipi Clark. She's that very young MP for

9
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 2: the Maldi party. She led off what was going into

10
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:43,279
Speaker 2: the body of the Parliament and towards David Seymour. Rawi

11
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 2: White to Tea was right there with her, and so

12
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 2: was Debbie no Riwa Packers.

13
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 3: This is the hacker.

14
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 2: They went right up to David Seymour's desk, very intimidating.

15
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: I was watching it and you know it's it was

16
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 2: much worse than what Juliannejener did with Matt Doosey. And

17
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 2: she was brought before the Privileges Committee when the House

18
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 2: resumed after a considerable time. David Seymour wanted, essentially why

19
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: to Tea to be sent to the Privileges Committee as well,

20
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 2: and I'm sure more action will be taken because Parliament

21
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: can't be like that. It became just a mess and

22
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: out of order. The Opposition set out to embarrass the

23
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: Prime Minister in question time before all this unfolded, before

24
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 2: the big debate. Nikola Willis she was standing in for

25
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: Chris Luckson today. She was none too kind about the

26
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: bills sponsored David Seymour.

27
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,559
Speaker 3: Here she is I do not think it makes sense

28
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 3: or will be enduring for Parliament to simply set down

29
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: its interpretation of the treaty and then seek a majority

30
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 3: of the public to confirm it and referend him. That

31
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 3: is a crude way to handle a very delicate subject.

32
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: What does it say about his leadership when his soon

33
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: to be deputy Prime Minister accused him of being quote

34
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: clearly nervous end quote about the bill and the National

35
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: Party of being quote afraid of taking on hard issues

36
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: end quote, with him doing nothing to dissuade the public

37
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: of that notion.

38
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 3: David Seymour is responsible for his own statements and in

39
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 3: this case they are wholly incorrect.

40
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: So there's no love lost between David Seymour and the

41
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: National Party. But then it was down to the fiery debate.

42
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: David Seymour as the bill's sponsor. He kicked it off

43
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 2: and was calm and considered. I've got to say, compared

44
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: with what followed, He's Seymour, followed by labor fire brand

45
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: Willie Jackson.

46
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 4: The commencement claused says the principles of the spill only

47
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 4: come into force if a majority vote for it to

48
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 4: do so and referendum. The big change here is the

49
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,239
Speaker 4: idea that each person has a say on the rules

50
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 4: they live under. Even people who are convinced this bill

51
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 4: will not become law are determined to stop it being discussed,

52
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 4: and that's why you hear so much outspoke and criticism

53
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 4: of it. They know that whether or not this bill

54
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 4: becomes law in this term of Parliament, it's only a

55
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 4: matter of time before its logic prevails. That's why they

56
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 4: say kill the bill, because they can't kill the idea

57
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 4: behind the bill.

58
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 5: The government's own lawyers, mister Speaker who said that this

59
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 5: poll will undermine Mildy rights. But still David Seymour persists

60
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 5: with this disgusting piece of legislation. I said some time

61
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 5: ago that he was a most dangerous politician in New

62
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 5: Zealand and that has come to pass. This is to you,

63
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 5: David Seymour. You feel hatred and misinformation in this country.

64
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 5: You bring out the worst in New Zealanders. You should

65
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 5: be ashamed of yourself and you are alive.

66
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: See. And he was pulled up on that, and he

67
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: was kicked out of the house for it. Rvalry waited tea.

68
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: He clearly stirred up those in the public galleries and

69
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 2: opposition parties with this contribution to.

70
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 6: Tease your white tong is superior to any person and

71
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 6: any law if it created in this house at are

72
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 6: seemed to be pulling the strings and running the country

73
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 6: like the KKK with a swipe card to the beehive.

74
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 6: And Luxon doesn't even care there's.

75
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 5: A ghost in his chair.

76
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 6: Uncle one game, but sent your pocket to governor over themselves.

77
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 6: They've assumed governance over us. When will we begin to

78
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 6: assume governance ourselves?

79
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 2: See? And to me, you know that's that rhetoric is

80
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 2: worrying to say the least. Now the Maori Party leadership

81
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 2: joined by their members and I've got to say Labors

82
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 2: came out of his seat. They launched to do a

83
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: deafening harker and that, and they approached David s Labors

84
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: Labors to yep, he sorry, penny, he carry on sorry,

85
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 2: wrong name, and the speaker he lost all control and

86
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: suspended house. Here's the racket that followed from the public galleries.

87
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 6: The gallery is to be cleared.

88
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 2: What I've never seen hatred like that in Parliament before,

89
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: with a speaker throwing up his hands as you heard

90
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: at the beginning there and walking out. It's an absolute disgrace.

91
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 3: Barry, thank you appreciate your time on that one.
