He's accused two South Auckland councilors 4 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 2: of not turning up to council enough, but then they've 5 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 2: hit back with stats that show they actually turn up 6 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 2: more than he does, and then he's accused them of 7 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 2: quote doing what they always do, being Pacific victims. Monaco 8 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 2: ward counselor Philippina is with us right now. 9 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: Hey, elf, Hi, they congratulations to by the way, Yeah, 10 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 1: thanks Mary, that's all right. 11 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 2: It was seven months ago, but I'm going to take 12 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 2: I know, thanks. 13 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: That was the first time first time I've spoken. Now. Yeah, 14 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: interesting how he's sitting out at PACIFICA. I wonder what 15 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 1: happens if because of my MOLDI blood. I wonder if 16 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 1: that's next. 17 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 2: Well jeez, now, how did it get into the race thing? 18 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 2: This seems bizarre to me that it suddenly went from 19 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 2: attendance to this. 20 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. And and but this is what happens 21 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: when you have somebody that wants to get yes people 22 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: around that table. This is what happens. I mean, the 23 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: port we stop that from going overseas the operations. I mean, yeah, 24 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 1: I think he just wants people to bow down to 25 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: him and I'm not that person. Definitely not else. 26 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: You are, I mean, according to the stats, you are, 27 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 2: definitely You and lotso are definitely turning up to council 28 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: more than he does, which is a laugh. But what 29 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 2: about the workshops, he says the workshops is a different matter. 30 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 2: Are you turning up to the workshops as well? 31 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: So we go online for the workshops, we may turn 32 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: up for the workshops. But I know, from my perspective, 33 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: if I don't end up going to the workshops, if 34 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: I'm doing other council business, I take the time to 35 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: talk to the staff or get people to bring me 36 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: back the information. Now, when he said in the starter 37 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: call that that's where all the work's done, all the 38 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: work gets done at those committee meetings, the Committee of 39 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: the Whole and the governing body meetings, that's where the 40 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: decision has made. So I don't know which tangent he's 41 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: trying to get on, but you know, playing the racist 42 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: card that that is not the card that he should 43 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,559 Speaker 1: be playing. So you know that's why. But even the workshops, 44 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: what happens is that there are discussions I go to 45 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 1: those workshops, whether they be in person or online by 46 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: tend and if I don't, I end up going back 47 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: to the staff or getting information off Nexus, which is 48 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: the app that council uses to have all the information. 49 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: So I don't know where he's going. 50 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 2: You guy's going to be able to sort this out. 51 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: Oh not with Wayne, because Wayne is the type of 52 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: person that wants his way in no way that's it's 53 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: it's either his way or the highway. So we won't 54 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: sort it up this way because he'll he'll just keep 55 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: on using it because it's election and he wants his 56 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: yes people to be around that table, and he convinced 57 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: obviously some people to run under his ticket. I'll be 58 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: watching to see how much he puts into their campaign 59 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: when the financial and the expenses come out. That's what 60 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: I'll be doing. 61 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 2: Well, thanks very much for your time, best of luck 62 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 2: with everything.
