1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: It is being reported as a scrap, which I'm not 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 1: sure is accurate, but if it is, it is a 3 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 1: shame and probably a lesson for the combatants who are 4 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:09,639 Speaker 1: both supposed to be on the same side. But under 5 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,399 Speaker 1: the MMP, I ask you this simple question, is anyone 6 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: really on the same side? See what's happening here is 7 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,799 Speaker 1: ACT are concerned about acc and their current desire to 8 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 1: solve safety issues in the manufacturing sector. But by putting 9 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,760 Speaker 1: a race based lens across it, here we go again. 10 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 1: ACC want people who have got some answers or run 11 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: some programs for injuries to MARII and PACIFICA. This of course, 12 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: is not what the government is supposed to be about, 13 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: and a cabinet edict says so the shame of this 14 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: is both sides, In fact, all three sides. I thought 15 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 1: we're on the same page on the same issue. They 16 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: campaigned on the issue. They campaigned on it because the 17 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: last government got so obsessed with mari issues and language 18 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: and acquiescing to everything cultural. A large sway of the 19 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: vote has got thoroughly seckin tired of it all. So 20 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: why are we here after a year and a half. 21 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: And while we're here in a cabinet instruction. Why are 22 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: we here? It's beyond me the fact ACC or any 23 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: government department is still trying this on. I would have thoughts. 24 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: The real problem and goes to a theme that we've 25 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: highlighted too often this term and on this program, and 26 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: that is a public service who don't appear to be 27 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: neutral or operating under the instruction of the government of 28 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: the day, but rather to their own beat. There is 29 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: no good news in two parties seemingly debating a formally 30 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: agreed approach with each other, and there is no good 31 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: news in a department continuing to do something they shouldn't 32 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,559 Speaker 1: be doing. We have enough to deal with at the moment, 33 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: don't you think without previously agreed approaches being re litigated 34 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: or disavowed. Obviously, work safety is not a race based problem. 35 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: It's an industry problem or a sector problem. ACC should 36 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: know this, and even if they didn't, they should be 37 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: following instruction, act or on the right side of this. 38 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: But they shouldn't have to be, given the point of 39 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: government is enactment of policy, not endless relitigation.
