1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:00,920
Speaker 1: Barry Sober Senior.

2
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 2: You forgot your mic there, I'll tell you what.

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: Hey, Okay, So Mike Mitchell be absolutely thrilled at what

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: the cops have done.

5
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: Well, it is incredible when you think you know that

6
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 2: bust that we saw. That total of one hundred and

7
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 2: thirty seven chargers have been laid against the gang members

8
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 2: and their associates. That included seventeen so called office holders,

9
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: ten patched members and fourteen gang prospects. So it was

10
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: a real round up these Common Heiros, many of them

11
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: have come from Australia and we hadn't heard from them

12
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 2: before we heard of five Ozo ones. And I've got

13
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 2: to say it was a proud Policemanister Mark Mitchell who

14
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: outlined the booty the cops took from the gang.

15
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 3: I'd also like to acknowledge your outstanding police force who

16
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 3: announced today the conclusion of three significant operations targeting the

17
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 3: Common Heros operations Scuba, Brewer and Avon. The operations have

18
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 3: seniorly every member of the Common Heroes in New Zealand

19
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 3: face chargers. Seized two hundred and six kilograms of methamphetamine,

20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 3: nine point two million dollars in assets seized, one point

21
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 3: two seventy five billion in cash, five properties, fourteen vehicles,

22
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 3: had fifteen firearms.

23
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: More than two one hundred Was it two hundred two

24
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 2: hundred kilograms of lot of drug's name methamphetament? Absolutely incredible,

25
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: there was. It was an inter governmental raid. Customs corrections

26
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 2: and in their revenue were all part of the investigations.

27
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: The insignia was taken down. You will have seen from

28
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: christ Church for their headquarters in Woollaston. And if anybody

29
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: ever thought that gangs are not involved in the drug trade,

30
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: just have a look at the slot and they'll be.

31
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: I would imagine other gangs are similarly involved, will not imagine.

32
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: It's pretty pretty common knowledge that they are. So let's

33
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 2: hope that the police met out the same sort of

34
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: message that they've issued to the common gyros.

35
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: Has Chippy jumped on the plane yet.

36
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: No, he hasn't. He goes on Thursday. He's off to

37
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: the UK's going to a Labor Party annual conference in Liverpool.

38
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: He said he'll be taking partner number of panel discussions

39
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 2: and speaking events at the conferences. Away for quite a

40
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: long time. He doesn't get back until October the first,

41
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: so he's having a bit of a time there Opposition

42
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: leaders are allowed one big trip a year and this

43
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: is it. And hopefully for him he'll learn something from

44
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: the British Labor Party. He's said he'll be meeting with

45
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 2: think tanks, economists and writers in both Liverpool and in

46
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 2: London where he'll go to after the conference. But the

47
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: Prime Minister gave Hipkins lessons and lesson in economics before

48
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: he leaves, followed by Winston Peters, who basically added insult

49
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: to injury.

50
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 4: How does it start? You have an eighty four percent

51
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 4: increase in spending, It drives record levels of inflation, that

52
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 4: drives high levels of interest rates, that puts their me

53
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 4: into recession, that drives unemployment. That is the history of

54
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 4: economics that we've been trying to articulate to that member

55
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 4: and also his former government about why they got it

56
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 4: so wrong. Take some responsibility. We are where we are

57
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 4: today because of woeful, uneducated economic management.

58
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 5: They're on on Winston Peters cadas the Preme Minister. Does

59
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 5: he not think he should contact the UK Prime Minister.

60
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 5: Kastarma about a visitor said, did he come to his

61
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 5: conference and warn them that slighting poles are contagious?

62
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 3: Rude?

63
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: Hey, what did he say about the polls? Actually sounds

64
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: like he's pretty philosophical about it.

65
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: Well, like all politicians, he'd like to be liked more,

66
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: but he's not liked enough. I mean when you look

67
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: at the net favorability that's been a big drop for him,

68
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: fell sixteen points to minus ten percent, and just thirty

69
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: one of the polls respondent said they had a positive

70
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: view of the Labor leader. Now you know, with polling

71
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: life like that, of course the Labor Party will be

72
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 2: looking over their shoulders wondering what they can do. I'm

73
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: sure that Chris Hopkins is seen as a care taker

74
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 2: leader of the Labor Party. Just how long he lasts

75
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 2: is a matter for the party itself.

76
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: It sounds like the party is not going to roll him,

77
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: and I think that's the smart thing to do at

78
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: the moment. Why would they roll them.

79
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: Well, that's true because they know that if they go

80
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 2: into the next election, the likelihood is they'll be beaten again,

81
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: and so it's better, I would imagine. But then people

82
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: are very ambitious in politics heither, and whilst you might

83
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: think they do themselves a favor by holding off, many

84
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: of them.

85
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 1: Don't ambition Aside right. They can be ambitious all they like,

86
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: can go for it if they want to. But for

87
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: the benefit of the Labor Party itself, there's no need

88
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: to roll.

89
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 2: Well, no there's not. But and the other thing is

90
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: who is the leader in waiting in the Labor Party,

91
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,679
Speaker 2: you know Barbara Head and Edmunds. I think it could

92
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 2: be a good future leader of the Labor Party. I mean,

93
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 2: she's got a good labor background. Died when she was four.

94
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 2: She grew up being brought up by her father on

95
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: a benefit. She essentially got into the beehive, not as

96
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 2: many do as in a paracheck of the party. In fact,

97
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: she was a private secretary to Michael Woodhouse from the

98
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 2: National Party as Revenue Minister. She's a tax lawyer and

99
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 2: was also working for Judith Collins at one stage when

100
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 2: she was Revenue Minister and they described her as first class.

101
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: And how many children has she got?

102
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 5: Eight?

103
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: Thank you, absolutely, very so. That's amazing, very so for
