1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: Bad news this morning for any productive, hard working, busy

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: members of our society. In other words, all of you

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: listening to the show this morning, Good morning. The climate

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: protesters who brought Wellington to its knees, remember that rush

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: hour traffic to a standstill. While they're going to be

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: back at it again soon, mark my words. You will

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: see more idiots gluing themselves to the motorways. You'll see

8
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: the map sailing down Mount Victoria, hanging signs from the gantries,

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 1: the roads closed, the police doing not what they should be,

10
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: basically chaos to start your day. Why the Crown has

11
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: walked away from, abandoned the prosecution of more than twenty

12
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: of these guys over the protests in Wellington. These guys

13
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: are now off on their merry little way. They're from

14
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: the Restore Passenger Rail group, remember them. Some were awaiting

15
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: retrial after juries couldn't come to a verdict on whether

16
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: they endangered transport. Hello, anyway, there's lots of hands that

17
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: should be in cuffs that will soon be covered in glue. Again,

18
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: how do we know this? They told us. One of

19
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: the nutters says he hopes the crown decision sets a

20
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: precedent that protesters won't be prosecuted for future climate change activism.

21
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: We had numpties sleeping in coal carts trying to shut

22
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: down the Stockton mine on the West Coast over easter.

23
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: Dangerous stuff, expensive stuff. I remember a woman stuck in

24
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: traffic on State Highway one, missing her chemotherapy appointment at

25
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: hospital because of these guys. Their point emissions are bad

26
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: for the climate, But tens of thousands of cars sitting

27
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: idle stuck in traffic while some climate hero gets us

28
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: five seconds of TikTok fame ab sailing onto a state

29
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: highway would surely, if anything, make those emissions worse. Also,

30
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: did you know they hire gas guzzling diesel vans to

31
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: ferry them to and from their stunts. Yeah, I found

32
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: that out after the fact. Hypocritical losers. Even Torri Farno

33
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: said they were dumb. Torri Farno, these people are not

34
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: about climate solutions, They're about themselves. I'm all for constructive

35
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: discussion on how our small country can play its part,

36
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: But every time I see an ambulance stuck in traffic

37
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: chalk just because of some unnecessary attention seeker like this,

38
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: it makes me want to let the planet burn just

39
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: despite them. Sadly, the rest of us can look forward

40
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: to dealing with much more of this in the months

41
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: and years ahead. For more familiar edition with Ryan Bridge,
