1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,720 Speaker 1: Barry Soper, Welcome to the program. 2 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 2: Good afternoon, Andrew. 3 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 1: Nice to see you for the second to see you 4 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: for the second time today because we all came in 5 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,120 Speaker 1: for Simon Wilson's retirement speech, which was a very fine 6 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: speech and his memory about journalism nearly goes back as 7 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 1: far as yours. 8 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,919 Speaker 2: Not quite nearly. I don't remember him that as a 9 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,159 Speaker 2: student at Victoria University, so nine and for years is 10 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 2: very good. 11 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 1: Speech is very funny. Now, Parlon's youngest MP, the infamous 12 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: hacker dancer and paper ripper, made some announcement that she's 13 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: going to make an announcement on white Tongey. 14 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, Hannah Raffiti Mip Clark, she sees and she's sort 15 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 2: of teasing us, I think, because I'd like to know 16 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 2: what the announcement could possibly be. She told her Instagram followers, 17 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 2: all two hundred and seventy one thousand of them, that 18 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,279 Speaker 2: there will be some sort of collaboration between herself and 19 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 2: the Green MP for Wellington Central, Tamitha paul So and 20 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 2: it's going to be announced on White Tangy Day. But 21 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 2: what on earth could they be doing? I mean, could 22 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 2: it be that the Maldi Party are going to lose 23 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 2: another MP. 24 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, could she be forming Tiputti Junior, Well, 25 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: who knows, you know, New Labor, new Maldi Party, I 26 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: mean New Greens. 27 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 2: But she's saying that, you know, we'll certainly be doing 28 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 2: something together. And they did something together earlier this week 29 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 2: when the electoral amendment bill came up, that's the one 30 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 2: denying voting to people on the day and denying prisoners voting. 31 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 2: And she said they delayed it until tag temmed and 32 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 2: delayed it until nine thirty pm. So they've worked together. 33 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 2: But that's just filibustering. So that's a great claim to 34 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 2: fame on this one. And you know, who knows what 35 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 2: White tonguey. 36 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: Day Febry six, White Tonguy Day. By the way, of 37 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: those two hundred and seventy one thing followers, most are 38 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: actually overseas because she's the biggest hour overseason. 39 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 2: She is here. 40 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: I would have to say, well because of the video 41 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,119 Speaker 1: ripping up the legislation, which is which is a great 42 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 1: piece of video. And by the way, you don't say 43 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: collaboration when you're talking about twenty one year old. You 44 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: say co lab. They pronounced your co lab between table exactly. 45 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 2: I didn't do that Muldoon's day. 46 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: And while all of that is happening, the Maori parties 47 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: lawyer is going to stand for the Greens. Yeah, swazis, Well. 48 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 2: Who knows you know that? I'm told she's a well 49 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 2: known treaty activist Tanya Waikato. I hadn't heard of her before, 50 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 2: but nevertheless she was the the Maldi party's lawyer, and 51 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 2: they say she's a seasoned litigator, familiar face after protesting 52 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 2: several government policies, and the Treaty Principal's Bill was absolutely 53 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 2: one of them. She said, She again a bit of 54 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 2: a secret, won't be announcing her intention probably until around 55 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 2: February next year. Well, who knows. I might be Clark 56 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 2: and Tamotha Paul and this one could have something in common. 57 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: And we have something Winter Peters, Okay, he's doing his 58 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: end of year interviews with everybody. He's going to be 59 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: on with me during the summer breakfast after the new year. 60 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: And this morning's revelation is a tease on which party 61 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: he could coalesce with after the election, which would be 62 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: would never be their mart because he never tells you 63 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: who he's going. 64 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 2: Well, no he doesn't, And what he said to the 65 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 2: interviewer on this occasion was that, look, he'll be putting 66 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 2: it to bed if you like, before Christmas. Well that's 67 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 2: next week, so it's over the next few days. I 68 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,119 Speaker 2: try to get in contact with him today to ask 69 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 2: him has he changed his mind? Could he go with 70 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 2: labor when Chris Hopkins is the leader of labor because 71 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 2: he's always said he won't go with labor. Whilst Chris 72 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 2: Hopkins is the leader, well not about to replace Hipkins 73 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 2: given their polling before the next election, so who knows 74 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 2: what he's going to announce. And I'm sorry here, I 75 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 2: am it's a mystery round this whole pol text today. 76 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: Your whole report has been one big mystery, big, one 77 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: big tease. It could be that it's the end of 78 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: the year, and of course this is the last time 79 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: you do with us except for at six when you're 80 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 1: going to look back on the whole year.
