1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,759 Speaker 1: Parliament's been thrown into disarray again today, with the Maori 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: Party again caught up in a hakka controversy. It's somewhat 3 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 1: overshadowing the party's big reset, which was supposed to change 4 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: the narrative after some pretty weird internal stuff. Former leader 5 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: or Flavel was watching the reset and it is with 6 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: us high it or does it feel to you like 7 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: an error pulling the hakka stunt on this day? 8 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I don't know whether alreadiny had any 9 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 2: part to play, and that I think it was accepted. 10 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 2: Protocols has always been to allow a way to take place. 11 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 2: In the past, there's been hot so that it followed, 12 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 2: there hasn't been a big deal. And I'm wondering why 13 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 2: even now that it is such a big deals simply 14 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 2: a part of finishing over away at there's nothing in 15 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 2: it about it. Let it ride, it would have finished 16 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 2: and then everybody carry on. Seems to have gone to 17 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 2: another place. Unfortunately. 18 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: Now what do you what are you making of this reset? 19 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: I mean, it seems like it's stealing with a couple 20 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: of things here. The first is tightening up on discipline, 21 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: in the second is releasing policy and wanting to be 22 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: taken seriously. Are they actually going to tighten up on discipline? 23 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: What does that mean for Copper Kenny. 24 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 2: Well, there's probably there's quite a lot of lot going 25 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 2: on in the party at the moment, and I think 26 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,119 Speaker 2: the idea of a reset is probably appropriate right now, 27 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 2: bearing in mind that there's been a few issues that 28 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 2: they've had to deal with over the last couple of 29 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 2: months or so, and there's an election coming around the 30 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 2: around the corner in another year or so. They signaled 31 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: a desire to work with the Green and the Labor 32 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 2: Party and therefore probably does need to I suppose, give 33 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 2: a different view about how they see their role in politics. 34 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 2: So it's a good move to have a reset. Whether 35 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 2: that trans what that means in terms of translating into 36 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 2: policy gains, what means in terms of taking an approach 37 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 2: to the country and indeed reflecting the original cope of 38 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,559 Speaker 2: the party Maori, I think still remains to be seen. 39 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: Do you think cople Kenny is safe in her position 40 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: in the party? 41 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 2: I think I think, well, who knows, but I think 42 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 2: she's done it. She has done a wonderful job. Know 43 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 2: she's she's a staunch in her beliefs, and where she 44 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 2: wants to go. She's considered, she knows where she wants 45 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 2: to go. And I've always enjoyed the interactions that I've 46 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 2: had with her because she talks from a real common 47 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 2: sense position. So I mean, in the end, there's there's 48 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 2: a number of things with there's a number of things 49 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,679 Speaker 2: even bringing Hunnah forward. And as unfortunate as you say 50 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 2: that that things happen on today because already had the 51 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 2: moment and it was a big day for her and 52 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 2: her final and it could have been about about more 53 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 2: about that than anything else. But I mean, at least 54 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 2: there's a resetting and focusing on the future, which hopefully 55 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 2: will be the best interests of the party in the country. 56 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, Haye to Goorddor, thank you as always or Fleavel, 57 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: former Marti Party co leader.
