1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: So on a day of a resignation at a fairly

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: high level, we also have a confession in court from

3
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: another high profile operator. The problem with high profile is

4
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: it tends to be high wire. Of course, more is

5
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: expected of you because of your role, or is it

6
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: Andrew Bailey from the details available as we've been discussing

7
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: this morning, which aren't many, didn't commit a sackable offense.

8
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: As far as I can work out, putting your hand

9
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: on the arm of a person you're having a lively

10
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: discussion with is very cool or acceptable, but in and

11
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: of itself it's not the end of a Korean But

12
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: the trouble with Bailey is the loser thing in some way,

13
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: shape or form, was always going to haunt him. So

14
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: a small infringement by way of a follow up misdemeanor

15
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: was always going to be larger than it would have

16
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: been with a clean sheet. Also lux and set the

17
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 1: behavior bar high the precedent, is there any trouble you're out?

18
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: Contrasts that to Caleb Clark, who has pled guilty to

19
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: dangerous driving and failing to stop for the police. Maximum sentence,

20
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: which will happen in June, is many thousands of dollars

21
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: and several years of jail time. His lawyer wants the

22
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: discharge without conviction. Unlike Bailey, he has an offer to

23
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: quit as far as I know. So the question becomes

24
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: is it a sackable offense? Drink driving has been established

25
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: with a number of incidents over the years with high

26
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: profile convictions not to be a sackable offense. So the

27
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: president is set there. But what about dangerous driving? And

28
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: more worryingly, with the message it sends failing to stop

29
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: for the police? Failing to stop with a view to

30
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: what scarper not get caught, evade the law, get away

31
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: with it. Law and order, of course, been a major

32
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: election issue in the police's role in getting on top

33
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: of law breaking has been a major focus for most

34
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: of us of late. If I, as a high profile operator,

35
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: was up on charges this morning of failing to stop

36
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: or dangerous driving, would you expect me to be sacked?

37
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: Would this workplace beyond whatever happens in court? Expect to

38
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: see some sort of resignation from me? I suspect yes?

39
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: Or does profile only count in politics where no law

40
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: was broken but emotions got you sacked instead? What does

41
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: an all black have to do illegally to be sacked

42
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: as an All black. For more from the mic Asking
