1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Yes to a four year term. Please, our politicians are

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: too short sighted. Think about infrastructure, think about productivity, think

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: about immigration settings. Basically, take your pick at any long

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 1: term problem in this country. We need longer terms. Yes,

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: it will suck if it's not your party that you

6
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,159
Speaker 1: like in at the time that it's introduced, but it

7
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: needs to happen for the better of the country, doesn't it.

8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: The government's looking at this because it is in the

9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: coalition agreements with both AT and New Zealand First. No

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: strict timings in those coalition agreements. But on Friday, Luxon

11
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: was talking to a Bloomberg Q and A and seemed

12
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: to indicate that we might have a referendum on this

13
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: at the next election. It's a no brainer. We have

14
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 1: big problems in short terms in this country. The big

15
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: question is who will get the first one? Will it

16
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: be you know that lot? Will it be your lot?

17
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: Those are the big questions, and also will it be

18
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: a binding referendum, which is what New Zealand First is

19
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: obviously pushing for. Nine two nine two is the number

20
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 1: to text, I say, just do it, get it done.
