1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: So guy goes to a tip in Wellington, buys an

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: old meural office desk and inside in a lot to

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: draw a case of secret documents, among them staff pay details,

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: termination documents, a sexual harassment complaint. The papers mostly date

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: between nineteen eighty eight and the early two thousands. Dame

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: Kerry Prindergastfa and Wellington MEAs with me now, Dame carry

7
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 1: Good evening.

8
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 2: Good evening, Ryan, Nice to talk to you.

9
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: Nice to talk to you too. Were you surprised that

10
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: this happened?

11
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: Well, incredibly surprised. I mean it's a paulen that confidential

12
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 2: papers are out in the puppet domain and the people

13
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 2: I understand that some relate to are still alive, and

14
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 2: I'm very disappointed. One they've gotten to the media and

15
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: cercely most importantly, they went clear out of the desk

16
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: before it went to the tip.

17
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: Have you heard from Wellington City Council at all today,

18
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: because they have put out a statement they say they're

19
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: doing an internal investigation and they sort of rubbish this.

20
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: I Raymond Morgan a little bit saying he didn't tap

21
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: them off properly enough or something like that.

22
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 2: So I have I have met Worth Matt Prosser, who's

23
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: the chief executive, who has assured me a full internal

24
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 2: investigation that happening. They're doing their best to get the

25
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 2: papers back to give people some sense that the private

26
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: information will be should be resecured. I understand that the

27
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: person who gave them to the media didn't really give

28
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 2: an indication to the course and to adjust the sort

29
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: of sensitive information they had. And I have to say, Ryan,

30
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 2: most people I think would have put it in a

31
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 2: box and delivered it to counsel rather than putting it

32
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: on a website that gave access to the media too.

33
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's probably a fair point. Dame Carey,

34
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: appreciate your time tonight. Dame Carey Prendergas Formamor of Wellington.
