1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,840
Speaker 1: And right now we're going to parliament. Jason Wall's our

2
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:04,439
Speaker 1: politically editor, Jason Good afternoon.

3
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 2: Good afternoon, Ryan.

4
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: So has the PM told what's happening here? But the

5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: Prime Minister's basically said I wouldn't use that language. But

6
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: we have had a statement from Winston regardless.

7
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. I mean it was basically being slapped with

8
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 2: a wet bus ticket by the Prime Minister. There was essentially,

9
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 2: you know, just to catch you up if you don't

10
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: know the story by now. Earlier this week, Shane Jones

11
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 2: yelled in the House and the Mexican's Home at Green

12
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 2: Party leader Koe Swarwick during a debate in the Green

13
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 2: say this was a reference to the Mexican born at

14
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 2: Ricardo Menandez March. Now, Jones, I will not was given

15
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 2: an opportunity this morning to clarify these comments with Hosking. Instead,

16
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: he just decided to say the following.

17
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 3: Speaking of which, ironically, and tired and the television news

18
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 3: obsessed themselves last night with your behavior, along with your

19
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 3: leader's behavior towards the Greens in general. Do you do

20
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 3: you stand down? Do you apologize? Do you double down?

21
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 3: What do you do?

22
00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: No?

23
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 4: It's a Mexican stand up, so.

24
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: Obviously he doesn't really care about it too much. We

25
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: asked Winston about the comments on the bridge on the

26
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 2: way to house the house today.

27
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 5: Here's what he said, Ah, look, the house is that

28
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 5: sort of place where a lot of things that have

29
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 5: said absolutely overreacted to, and this is one of classic case.

30
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: Look, so look we are all overreacting, according to Winston.

31
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 5: So in short, if you can't stand in the head,

32
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 5: get out of the kitchen.

33
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: That's what it boils down to for Winston Peters. So

34
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: your question, will the Prime Minister rein in the MPs?

35
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 6: Oh, look, I didn't hear the remarks, and not remarks

36
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 6: that I would make myself, but I obviously have conversations

37
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 6: with colleagues all the time, which.

38
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: As I said, is about the wettest of wet bus

39
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: tickets being slapped on one's wrist that you can get.

40
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: He did go a touch further, there's.

41
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 6: A moment between stimulus and response, just calling everybody as

42
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 6: a as a leader to say, hey, listen, take that moment,

43
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 6: think about what you're going to say before you put

44
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 6: your mouth.

45
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: Into get But that was more of a everybody needs

46
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: to watch what they're saying thing as opposed to, specifically

47
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 2: on Winston and Shane. Now, meanwhile, we had a statement

48
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: come through to us within the last hour from Winston

49
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: Peters's office. It says the Deputy Prime Minister has been

50
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: made aware of concerns raised by the Mexican ambassador with

51
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 2: m FAT that's the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He looks

52
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: forward to seeing the ambassador next week to discuss the matter.

53
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: The Deputy Prime Minister is a huge champion of Mexico

54
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: and New Zealand relations and as demonstrated by his visit

55
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 2: there late last year, he feels nothing but friendship for

56
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: the Mexican people. Now here's the kicker.

57
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 5: Ryan.

58
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: In the heat of the moment, in the robust environment

59
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: of Parliament, sometimes some members say things when provoked that

60
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: on reflection may have been expressed differently. That could be

61
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: described as a walkback. As far as Winston walkbacks go,

62
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: it's essentially him throwing down his hands and saying I'm sorry.

63
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: He doesn't really ever get that close to admitting that

64
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 2: he was wrong. Meanwhile, Ryan, I have a bonus clip

65
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 2: if you're interested. It's the most luxe and two second

66
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: clip that you'll ever hear. Are you interested?

67
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: Oh, you've timed. I'm taking de bait.

68
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 2: Believe it. When I heard it, it was so Christopher

69
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: Lux and have a listen.

70
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 6: What I'd say is that's not what I'd say.

71
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I heard that today. I heard that from the

72
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: stand up. Hey, Shane Jones did get one thing right.

73
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: He's got Willis on his side over the Woke bank

74
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: his thing. What's the latest there?

75
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 2: Well, keeping with the Shane Jones theme, he told the

76
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 2: Australian newspaper earlier this week that the Kiwi subs, the

77
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 2: Kiwi banks or the Kiwi branches of the Ossian banks

78
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: are being driven by unelected, un orientated climate apostles. So

79
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: very Shane Jones. Here's what he told the country on

80
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 2: this issue.

81
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 4: We about a guts full of these work riddled virtue

82
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 4: signaling people who have no accountability what citizen mandated them

83
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 4: to try companies such as coal mining industries to bankruptcy.

84
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 2: So this is in reference to the fact that some banks,

85
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: and specifically he's referencing him being z with drawing lending

86
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: services to some petrol stations on a case by case basis. Now,

87
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: as it turns out, the Prime Minister's not happy with this.

88
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 6: Yes, it's very concerning when we banks actually across not

89
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 6: just Chemibank, but actually across the banking sector. I'm making

90
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 6: those decisions.

91
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: And his Finance Minister, Nicola Willis took it one step further.

92
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 7: I think this is an issue that the Parliamentary Select

93
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 7: Committee should call the bank chief executives back in about,

94
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 7: because while individual banks will make decisions about who they

95
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 7: bank based on their financial, credit worthiness and other factors,

96
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 7: it would be very concerning for New Zealand if banks

97
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 7: as a whole gang together to stop giving finance to

98
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 7: things that New Zealanders need.

99
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: So all the Bank is back in front of MPs,

100
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: says Willis and Ryan one more time for good measure.

101
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 6: What I'd say is it's not what i'd say.

102
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: Jason, thank you very much about Jason Wall's our political

103
