1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: Another advice ignored story. So the trouble with advice is

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: it's not automatically right, or more often than not, the

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: media seems to think it counts for something, hence their

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: obsession with coverage. Latest example Paul Goldsmith ignored advice around

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: move on orders. Now the media plays these advice stories

6
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 1: up because it suits their increasingly obvious bias against the government.

7
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: But when you read the advice, it's a mixture of

8
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 1: the vague, the wrong and the made up. Now the

9
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: best part is the bit that says evidence listen to this,

10
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: evidence of a growing public disorder problem is limited. Are

11
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: they serious? They obviously work from home and looked out

12
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: the kitchen window at morning tea time and didn't see

13
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: any disturbances. Is there a person who who's walked down

14
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: Queen Street or cland Courtney Place in Wellington or their

15
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: environs and not seen the trouble and upset? The wanks

16
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: apparently can't see they go on police data showing prosecutions

17
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: for such offenses has declined in recent years. I repeat,

18
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: are they serious? What do you reckon? That is? Hey,

19
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: why do you reckon that is? Just because you didn't

20
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: prosecute someone doesn't mean it didn't happen. They also, in

21
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: a very political way, go on to lump all homeless

22
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: and rough sleepers into the same category. The media does

23
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: the same thing. It makes the very obvious and deliberate

24
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: mistake of assuming all homeless and rough sleepers are the

25
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: same and like anyone else in life. They are not.

26
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: And the move on orders are not about anyone and everyone,

27
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: But they are about the ones who cause the trouble,

28
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: who abuse the shopper and stop the proprietor getting into

29
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: their business. And as far as I can see, the

30
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: aforementioned isn't actually mentioned in the advice at all. You know,

31
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: the poor bloke who owns a business and wouldn't mind

32
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: opening his door. At some point, the wonks might want

33
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: to ask about rights. As much as you might want

34
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: to argue for the right of a drug craze lunatic

35
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: to be able to say what they want to do

36
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: what they want where they want, you might like to

37
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: wonder if a punter should be able to go about

38
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: their business unhinted out here in the real world. Of course,

39
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: the answer is yes. Hence the government move on orders.

40
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: That move reads the mood of the community and is

41
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: welcome and will be effective, and like the ramraids, like

42
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: the shop smashings, will be dealt with. The question left

43
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: is if that's the quality of advice that ministers get.

44
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: I see some reasonably large and obvious savings to be

45
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: made for more from the My Asking Breakfast. Listen live
