1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: Very so, per senior political correspondence with Us haller Berry. 2 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 2: Good afternoon, hither I got the inside tip for the 3 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 2: Melbourne Drew I drew changing of the guard. There you go, 4 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 2: paying over one hundred dollars at the TP. 5 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: You're going to be really rich if that comes in. 6 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,160 Speaker 2: Well, at least I got into the sweep. 7 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,919 Speaker 1: Hey, so is the Maori Party finally feeding the White 8 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,479 Speaker 1: feeding frenzy? Well, yes they are, which I finally talking 9 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: to the PARKI how media. 10 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 2: Now fascinating Whitey Tea, who of course has been overseas 11 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 2: recently in China with a cup of Harker Group. He 12 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,520 Speaker 2: arrived at Parliament this morning alongside his father in law, 13 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 2: John Tammaherry, who happens to be the president of the party, 14 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 2: and his own wife Kurrie Tamahiri White t who's Tamahiri's 15 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 2: daughter who works for Whitey Tea or the party at Parliament. 16 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 2: So they were standing nearby White Tea when he talked 17 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 2: to the media. Talk to the media in English, which 18 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 2: was great because he's refused to up until now. It's 19 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 2: hardly surprising though that Ytt supports the position being taken 20 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,919 Speaker 2: by his father in law, considering you're standing just almost 21 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 2: beside him. He wants Kapa, KINGI and Pharis expelled from 22 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 2: the party. 23 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 3: I support all the sentiments laid out by John Tommyheday 24 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 3: in this post. We've been able to build this party 25 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 3: from no MPs and within one term to six MPs, 26 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 3: so we know what it takes, we know what the 27 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 3: work requires in order to build a movement, and we 28 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 3: will always be committed to ensuring that the our people 29 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 3: have a voice in this house. The thing is their 30 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 3: MPST you can't even invoke if you're if that's the 31 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 3: question you're asking about the waker jumping thing. Because they 32 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 3: are MPs of those particular interates. Their electrics will decide 33 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 3: whether they stay in the house or not come twenty 34 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 3: twenty six. 35 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 2: So they'll be around for a while, but they could 36 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 2: be around his independent MPs if they're kicked out of 37 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 2: the party. Interestingly, a spokesperson for the National EWIS Chairs 38 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 2: Forum that will be considering the issue. The spokesperson, Braiden Barber, 39 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 2: has been quoted as saying Tamahry's social media post Yes Today, 40 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 2: which was where he said they were greedy, was the 41 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 2: one of the main faults. She said his comments were unhelpful. 42 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 2: Now there's been, of course a petition out to get 43 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 2: rid of Tamma Harry. So this is a mess. 44 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: So Baden Barber and the EWEE Council co chairs, the 45 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: EWE Chairs Forum is actually meeting their meeting right now, 46 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: aren't they. I think yeah, I think the meeting right now. Anyway, 47 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: we're talking to Baden after half past six. What's going 48 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: on with the rough sleepers? 49 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 3: Well? 50 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 2: I found the line of questioning by Chris Hipkins in 51 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 2: the House today quite interesting. It was out of the 52 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 2: box and Parliament this afternoon. Literally that's what it would 53 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 2: mean for the rough sleepers in our city's CBDs if 54 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 2: it was true. That is, it came out of questions 55 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 2: fired by Labours Chris Hipkins to the man whose job 56 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 2: he wants, the Prime Minister, Chris Luxen, You judge, have 57 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 2: a listen. 58 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 4: Is the government considering a law change to bean homeless 59 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 4: people from central business districts? 60 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: There have been no cabinet decisions or discussion on that. 61 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 4: Tommy supplementary question. If booting people out of emergency accommodation 62 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 4: has fixed the homelessness problem, why is the government now 63 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 4: considering changing the law to ban homeless people. This government 64 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 4: has delivered housing affordability for people who want to purchase 65 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 4: a house or to rent a house. 66 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's interesting. I've talked around the traps today. 67 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 2: Apparently Tama Poltuka, he's been talking to community housing providers 68 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 2: suggesting that a law is on the way. The providers 69 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 2: are meeting on Friday now they're probably considering what they've 70 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: been told. Who knows, but apparently banning homeless people from 71 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 2: the CBD will begin in Auckland and Simeon Brown, the 72 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 2: Minister for Auckland, has been talking with Wayne Brown about it. 73 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 2: Now that's as far as I know. I haven't been 74 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,839 Speaker 2: able to get it confirmed, but certainly there's been talk 75 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 2: about it. 76 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: How would it work practically? Would you designate what you considered. 77 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 2: To the CD So where do they go? Do they 78 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 2: go then to the suburbs? Well, the Nimbies I think 79 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 2: would be a bit upset about that. 80 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, are you suggesting this is a bad idea? 81 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 2: Well, you know, I mean it's a bad idea having 82 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 2: anybody sleeping rough and what do you do about it? Well, 83 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 2: I suppose you can have emergency house And we saw 84 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 2: all of that that wasn't a great success by the 85 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 2: labor government. But what do you do with them? 86 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,119 Speaker 1: Okay, it's a question really, you know, very so, Senior 87 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: political correspondent.
