1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: To Party Mardi is imploding. It'll be no surprise to 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: you given what's happened over the last month. 3 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:09,400 Speaker 2: This decision was not taken lightly. Many hope the end 4 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 2: would be reconciliation. It could not be achieved. We acknowledge 5 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,760 Speaker 2: the mummy our people have built, and we think our 6 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 2: National Council for upholding our color and the best interest 7 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 2: of our movement throughout. 8 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,319 Speaker 1: Helmet Modlick is well by the way Ferris and Kapa 9 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: King now become independents and they say that they will 10 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: fight this. We'll see where that goes. Helmet Modlik is 11 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: nate toi ewchief executive with me this morning. Good morning Mardena, 12 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 1: good to have you on the show. What is your 13 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it's not a great look for to 14 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 1: Party Mahdi, But what happens with the Maldi electric vote 15 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: now do you think? 16 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it will depend on what plays out over 17 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 3: the next probably the next six months or so. It's 18 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 3: to state how bitterly disappointing it is for the married 19 00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 3: community to see the dynamic that's played out so publicly 20 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 3: and resulting in this fractious outcome. Yeah, hard to overstate it. 21 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: Do you know what exactly. You know, some of that 22 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: Ferris and couple King have actually done. 23 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 3: Well. I think it's fair to say that the actions 24 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 3: and conversations that have gone on initially behind the scenes 25 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 3: and then more recently in all two public ways, online 26 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,759 Speaker 3: as well as over the media, has really been a 27 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 3: combination of small and not so small actions that have 28 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 3: just irritated each got thought about it. It seems to 29 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 3: be pretty orthodox sort of personality power politics type actions 30 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 3: are common. Well, that's always you're going to have a 31 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 3: serious ego if you're going to be in politics, and 32 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 3: it's it seems to parallel pretty similarly the sorts of 33 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 3: things we should play out in other parties at this 34 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 3: At this stage though, in the electoral cycle and give 35 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 3: and the strategic issues and play for to party MALDI 36 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 3: and the progressive side of the political spectrum, it's it's 37 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 3: serious helmet. 38 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: Does Labor win out of this? You know, do we 39 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 1: get Maori voters on the Maori role going back to Labor. 40 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 3: That's that's clearly got to be one of strategic options. 41 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,399 Speaker 3: That's why I say it depends on what plays out 42 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 3: over the sixty nine months. The you know, the there's 43 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 3: no point winning a battle if you lose the war, 44 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 3: and the war at this point in time is seen 45 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 3: the Coalition and it's egregious attacks on the Murray community 46 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 3: and over the last couple of years seeing them removed 47 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 3: from office. That's the war and this this battle that's 48 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 3: playing out into party Mali has has been decidedly unhelpful 49 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 3: and winning that battle, that war. 50 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: Sorry, Helmet model.
