1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:00,600 Speaker 1: Now he's so bad. 2 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 2: Good Andrew, how are you very well? 3 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 1: He is not here because she's gone to Melbourne to 4 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: see Oasis with the Concert Club. And I'm surprised that 5 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: you didn't go as well, because, as I said, when 6 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:11,560 Speaker 1: you walked and I could see you in a mosh 7 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: pit wearing the hat doing the jump. 8 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 2: But someone has to look after the kids. 9 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: So the big story, of course is Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, 10 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,159 Speaker 1: and this affects us because of our constitution. Obviously we 11 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: have to we'll have to react to this properly. 12 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 2: Well we do because at the moment Andrew Windsor is 13 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 2: eighth in line to the throne. Now it's beyond the king, 14 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 2: King Charles to make that change. And the change I 15 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 2: think is inevitable that he will be because he's not 16 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 2: obviously not seen to be fit to be a royal, 17 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 2: so he obviously could never be a monarch, even if 18 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 2: he is eighth in line to it. So there is 19 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 2: legislation that we have to enact to bring that about. 20 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 2: And that's not only in New Zealand, it's in England 21 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,759 Speaker 2: and all those countries who belong to the Commonwealth realm. 22 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,559 Speaker 2: They've got to move the same act, and I think 23 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 2: everybody will. I mean, the audacity of this man, I 24 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 2: think has been incredible. And somebody said to me today 25 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 2: there's a book come out. I think it's called Entitled, 26 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 2: and they've suggested that I read it because it is 27 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 2: about Sarah Ferguson and Andrew and they said, it's unbelievable 28 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 2: reading about entitlement. Oh. 29 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 1: Of course. I started my program by saying that before 30 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: the Epstein stuff, he was already getting up our noses 31 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: because he believed that he should get money. He was 32 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: parlaying their family name all over the place for us 33 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: for almost no influence whatsoever, but he believed that he 34 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: was worth it. I mean, the arrogance of the man 35 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: is astounding. 36 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 2: Is you know, it's an ignomen is ignominious way to 37 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 2: end something like this in somebody's life. But honestly, I 38 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 2: think I don't think there will be any regret comes 39 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 2: to the queen, though, will be turning in her grave 40 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 2: because he was her favorite. 41 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: Son, Yeah, which is probably why she couldn't do it. 42 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: But of course Charles can do it, because you know 43 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 1: how brothers are. And I reckon that. William actually said, look, Dad, 44 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: look when I take over. I want a clean sheet, 45 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: I want a fresh start. 46 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 2: Well, apparently William is planning to remove not royal titles, 47 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 2: but a money paid to anyone that is not a 48 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 2: working royal, So you know he's going to make changes 49 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 2: as well. But the sounds of. 50 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: Things, look, it was very moving radio for me yesterday 51 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: listening to have the show with you, and of course 52 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: the scoop you had Andrew Bailey. It turns out there 53 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: was no complaint and the investigation was only partly fulfilled, 54 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: and he felt that it was bad and so he resigned. 55 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: And of course then we had the whole issue of 56 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: the Prime Minister not being able to answer if he 57 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: could sack him. And I felt very very sad for Andrew. 58 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: Those sorts of things ruin a name. You said a 59 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: very smart things to me this afternoon that you know, 60 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: the first thing if you google Andrew Bailey, the first 61 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: thing will come up is an accusation that was never made. 62 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 2: He had resigned under a class well. In fact, the 63 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 2: only cloud was misrepresentation that he was told that three 64 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 2: witnesses to his behavior and grabbing a young man's arm 65 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 2: above the elbow, and he says he grabbed it he 66 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 2: was jousting with him saying we can do this, and 67 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 2: that was misconstrued and a Department of Internal Affairs inquiry 68 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,119 Speaker 2: hadn't even begun when he was told by the Prime 69 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 2: Minister's offers that in fact, he was. 70 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: Very bad kills him very seriously, very serious, is very bad. 71 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: But what I like then is that you and Heather 72 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: both said, well, this actually explains that car wreck of 73 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: an interview that Mike Hoskin did with the Prime Minister 74 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: where he couldn't answer a question in three minutes time 75 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: about whether he would have sacked and Bailey. So the 76 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: Prime Minister was asked about this overnight. 77 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 2: Yes, he was about midnight last night. He said, then 78 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 2: quite plainly, he would have snacked Andrew Bailey if he 79 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 2: hadn't resigned for what. I'm not sure. But Luxan then 80 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 2: went on to say he had faith in the Department 81 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 2: of Internal Affairs. 82 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 3: I trust DIA and the bottom line is that I 83 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 3: had information at the time and information today. I look 84 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 3: at it and I go Yep. He made the right decision. 85 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 3: It was his choice to resign. There were concerns that 86 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 3: were raised with DIA. They were put to Andrew. He 87 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 3: made a decision to resign and I accepted that resignation. 88 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 2: Well, I've got a letter in front of me from 89 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 2: the Department of Internal Affairs and it simply said that 90 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 2: number one, no formal complaint has was or has been 91 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 2: made about mister Bailey's conduct. The DIA had not commenced 92 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 2: or concluded an investigation into the matter, and yet he 93 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 2: was being told something else. Now, that is a letter 94 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 2: right out of a letter from the DIA. In back 95 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 2: of my I think this man has been badly treated. 96 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 2: He doesn't blame the Prime Minister's department, and probably rightly so, 97 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 2: because they acted on what they had been told by 98 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 2: the DOAH. 99 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: The Prime Minister was just as miss miss misinformed as 100 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: Andrew Bailey was. Yes, gotta go, gotta go, a miss Barry, 101 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: You're back.
