It looks like it's 6 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 2: actually going like unseasonably well. Nick Mills, Wellington Mornings host 7 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 2: and Mark Sainsbury broadcaster is with us on the huddle. 8 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:22,760 Speaker 2: Hull are you. 9 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 3: Too right to both of you? 10 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 2: Says how are you feeling about? Just so you triggered? 11 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 4: Look the thing with just and I mean there's two 12 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,319 Speaker 4: things and you it's great you nailed both of them. 13 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 4: One was I was really surprised she took it to 14 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 4: begin with the Dame, because you know, Helen Clark would not, 15 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 4: Jim Bolger would not, you know. And I found it 16 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 4: really really hot. And as you say, well, you could 17 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 4: argue you're going to use it to you know, gives 18 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 4: you a bit of status to do greater good. I mean, look, 19 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 4: and the other thing is she is regarded totally differently 20 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 4: overseas than what she is here. There's a lot of 21 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 4: people here who just simply hate it. And I remember 22 00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 4: when they're remember running in the Grant Roberts at once 23 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 4: some it was a book launch, just something, and he 24 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 4: said to me the DPS have told him not to 25 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 4: leave the building for two days. Thinking. I remember thinking 26 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 4: at the time, is this what we've come to? So 27 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 4: there's all that sort of true Away from New Zealand, 28 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 4: I mean outside of New Zealand, she's very highly regarded. 29 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 4: Did lady used John Key as the same role? 30 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 3: You know? 31 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 4: I mean you could say it's all very well from 32 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,839 Speaker 4: say that today today extend the hand to a former 33 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 4: prime minister who could be useful. 34 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a fair point that you make it. We 35 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 2: didn't and when John Key, I mean after John Key, 36 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 2: we're actually pretty fine. Fettal as a country, we're much 37 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 2: more stuffed and really need the pr at the moment, 38 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 2: what do you think, Nick, Are you triggered by her 39 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 2: or are you feeling just like chill vibes at the moment. 40 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think anybody should get a dame 41 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 3: hood or a knighthood when you're under about fifty or 42 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 3: fifty five. I've got a real problem. I always thought 43 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 3: that there was a lifetime of commitment to something, a 44 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 3: lifetime of doing something to create that, So I've got 45 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 3: a real problem with these young people picking them up. 46 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 3: That's the first thing. Secondly, life changed for Jasinda Ardurm 47 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 3: when she opened a school in christ Church, well somewhere 48 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 3: down south. You remember it when she came in the 49 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 3: van and everyone was banging on the van. Oh you know, 50 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 3: she was just opening a school. I mean we've never 51 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 3: seen anything like that before in New Zealand. So yes, 52 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 3: she's very popular, or was very popular internationally. They thought 53 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 3: of her as this, you know, smart young woman that 54 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 3: was running this country and taking us through COVID and 55 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 3: what a great effort. But I think it was was. 56 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 3: I don't think it's current, and I think that Chippy's 57 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 3: living in the past. But if she thinks that she 58 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 3: can represent us and doing it, sure, I reckon. 59 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 2: She's still a big deal overseas. I mean she was 60 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 2: at the on the sidelines of the Democratic Convention. The 61 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 2: Prince and Princess of Wales have made a video and 62 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 2: put it on their socials so that they can be 63 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 2: associated with her, and she's all over the newspapers. Man, 64 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 2: I reckon, she's got star pours door. 65 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 3: She was sidelined. She was sidelined on that convention. That's 66 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 3: what it really got to me is they made a 67 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 3: big deal about it. She was out the back door 68 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 3: talking to someone that no one ever knew. It wasn't 69 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 3: a big deal. 70 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 4: Run a lot of stuff inside. But put it this way, 71 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 4: if they decide to have a New Zealand, we want 72 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 4: business to come to New Zealand, do it New Zealand 73 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 4: House in London?

That they would put an observer 136 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 3: in like it's nearly Christmas. Right in Wellington. It's nearly Christmas, 137 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 3: it's nearly the end of the year. Nothing's going to 138 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 3: happen before the end of the year. Then we're back 139 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 3: at February March, before everyone puts their feet under the table. 140 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 3: Then it's April, May, June, July, August, before an election. 141 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 3: They won't do a damn thing. They will just put 142 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 3: it back on Willingtonian's to vote the right way at 143 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 3: the next election, now, you know, and some of me 144 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 3: says that's the right thing to do. It is a disaster. 145 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 3: I watched that special meeting. I've never wasted three hours 146 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 3: of my life ever before, the same way that the 147 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 3: actual council is. The whole council is an absolute disaster. 148 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 3: It really is. But I mean, if Simon hasn't done anything, now, 149 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 3: when is he going to do something? 150 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 2: I reckon he does something by the end of the 151 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 2: night sayings, I'll tell you what. What I think was 152 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 2: fascinating is so Tory calls a meeting with Simeon to 153 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 2: try to stop him intervening. Then she has the meeting 154 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 2: with Simeon and they don't even mention government intervention. Isn't 155 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 2: that weird? 156 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 4: It's very weird. Well it's you know, like, don't mention 157 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 4: the war, the most telling thing that has been And Tolly, 158 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 4: you know who was brought in this commissioner across in 159 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 4: total and she made that. I mean that it's a 160 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 4: very big step to take it. It is a very 161 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 4: very big step. And it's politically risky as well. You 162 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 4: got a lot of voters are going to go, what 163 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 4: are you doing interfering? They're our sort of stuff up 164 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 4: to leave them to us. So I agree with Nick. 165 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 4: I think they'll think no, I think they'll hold off. 166 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 2: Okay, interesting, have you brought anything at t musains O? 167 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 3: Yes? 168 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,679 Speaker 4: What I was crap?
