1 00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: The only drive show you can trust to ask the questions, 2 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:11,040 Speaker 1: the answers and give the analysis. Here the duplicy Ellen 3 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: Drive with One New Zealand and the power of satellite 4 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: mobile news dog zimb. 5 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 2: Good afternoon, Christopher Luxon has been heckled. Winston Peters told 6 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 2: off the hecklers, and Madama Davidson gave the government a 7 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 2: what the heck? It's just another day at White Tonguey, 8 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 2: isn't it. Our political reporter on the spot is Ethan Griffiths, 9 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 2: who's with us High Ethan gotta hear that on the 10 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 2: scale of things in compared to past White Tonguey's, this 11 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 2: is not the reaction to the politicians. Hasn't been all 12 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 2: that bad this year, has it? Now? 13 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 3: It's been pretty tame if I'm honest. I mean it 14 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 3: was very interesting. David Seymour, who copped it a lot 15 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 3: last year, copped basically nothing this year. He had very 16 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 3: few heckles. The Prime Minister Chris Luxon obviously got quite 17 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 3: a few more, which was was interesting to most of 18 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 3: us who are standing there on the pipe by watching it. 19 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 3: And Winston Peter's as well, in typical fashion, hit back 20 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 3: to the people that were we're heckling him. But look, 21 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 3: all in all, it was it was pretty tame. 22 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 2: This year, there's been a little bit of talk I've 23 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 2: noticed of a much higher police and security presence, although 24 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 2: the government ministers tried to sort of shut that down. 25 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:13,279 Speaker 2: Was it higher than normal? 26 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean all of us have been talking. There's 27 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 3: a lot of there's a lot of police presence here. 28 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 2: Man. 29 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 3: We're not talking just cops either. We're talking about drones 30 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 3: that police are flying. We've seen cops with you know, 31 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 3: the long sticks with mirrors on the end of them 32 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 3: to look for suspicious things under cars. And the Diplomatic 33 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 3: Protection Service as well. I mean that has really geared 34 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 3: up this year. Everyone seemingly has diplomatic protection at the moment. 35 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 3: And there are lots of cops right there's cops all 36 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 3: around pie here and obviously in the evenings as well, 37 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,199 Speaker 3: when they've got nothing to do, they've been doing things 38 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 3: like doing license checks at bars and drink driving and 39 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 3: things like that. So there is a huge police presence 40 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 3: here that GYP. 41 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 2: Has it been any explanation for why. 42 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 3: No, not so far. We did. We did have a 43 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 3: statement from the district commander up here Matsuhui, who said 44 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 3: that this is months in the planning and is pretty typical. 45 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 3: But it certainly does seem like there has been an 46 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 3: increased presence, which is odd given we haven't seen that 47 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 3: much protest action this year. 48 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 2: Yes, now I understand there's been a bit of drama 49 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 2: involving the Maori Party. 50 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is very interesting.
