It runs hot, 53 00:02:51,213 --> 00:02:52,893 Speaker 2: I'll say it runs very hot. I noticed in your 54 00:02:52,893 --> 00:02:55,732 Speaker 2: property there's quite a few areas where I could duck 55 00:02:55,893 --> 00:02:57,093 Speaker 2: dump some succulents. 56 00:02:57,333 --> 00:03:00,213 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Well, thank you for noticing that, because I 57 00:03:00,293 --> 00:03:02,412 Speaker 3: was going to say, I don't really want the yuckers. 58 00:03:02,413 --> 00:03:06,532 Speaker 3: But I've got access to Mount Albert Reserve and it's 59 00:03:06,613 --> 00:03:09,053 Speaker 3: right down the bottom, so there's a gate there. So look, 60 00:03:09,252 --> 00:03:11,773 Speaker 3: I'm not immune to just throwing a bit of grass 61 00:03:11,813 --> 00:03:13,853 Speaker 3: clippings and a bit of stuff. I don't just right 62 00:03:13,893 --> 00:03:15,412 Speaker 3: at the bottom, right at the bottom. 63 00:03:15,532 --> 00:03:20,173 Speaker 2: If you throw just like one peeled off succulent leaf. 64 00:03:20,853 --> 00:03:25,013 Speaker 2: Then within about three years, the entirety of Mount hel 65 00:03:25,093 --> 00:03:27,813 Speaker 2: But would be covered in the horrific alien Beast. 66 00:03:27,893 --> 00:03:29,453 Speaker 3: Noah, I could take it a little bit further down 67 00:03:29,493 --> 00:03:31,093 Speaker 3: the fenceway, but yeah, off is there. 68 00:03:31,693 --> 00:03:33,293 Speaker 2: I think you can do that. I think that's okay. 69 00:03:33,373 --> 00:03:34,933 Speaker 2: So what do you do with succulents? If you can't 70 00:03:34,933 --> 00:03:35,813 Speaker 2: take them to the dump. 71 00:03:36,693 --> 00:03:39,693 Speaker 3: You can't burn them. Very difficult to poison them. I 72 00:03:39,773 --> 00:03:40,493 Speaker 3: don't know. 73 00:03:40,773 --> 00:03:42,133 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, if you're poison them, you've still got 74 00:03:42,133 --> 00:03:44,293 Speaker 2: a succulent there, it's just a dead one. Yeah, yeah, 75 00:03:44,333 --> 00:03:44,773 Speaker 2: good point. 76 00:03:44,933 --> 00:03:47,013 Speaker 3: If you know what to do with yuckers, mets All 77 00:03:47,133 --> 00:03:47,773 Speaker 3: is because he's got a. 78 00:03:47,773 --> 00:03:49,773 Speaker 2: Few to get rid of.

Actually, So 95 00:04:37,333 --> 00:04:40,493 Speaker 3: Auckland councilor Julie Faery. She's spoken of the abuse she's 96 00:04:40,573 --> 00:04:43,373 Speaker 3: faced in her several years in council. One of the 97 00:04:43,373 --> 00:04:45,813 Speaker 3: ones that sticks in her mind was being called communist scum. 98 00:04:45,813 --> 00:04:47,813 Speaker 3: But it seems like a lot of elected members up 99 00:04:47,813 --> 00:04:50,053 Speaker 3: and down the country face similar A survey and the 100 00:04:50,093 --> 00:04:53,093 Speaker 3: Auckland Council found eighty one percent of elected members had 101 00:04:53,093 --> 00:04:56,053 Speaker 3: been harassed or bullied by members of the public, and 102 00:04:56,053 --> 00:04:58,373 Speaker 3: that council of Fairy. She went on to say she's 103 00:04:58,413 --> 00:05:01,813 Speaker 3: got several friends who would make great local government elected members, 104 00:05:01,973 --> 00:05:04,053 Speaker 3: but they've told her straight that they will not stand 105 00:05:04,053 --> 00:05:05,213 Speaker 3: because of fear of abuse. 106 00:05:05,613 --> 00:05:09,693 Speaker 2: Week. Should people be scared of abuse? Should we be 107 00:05:09,813 --> 00:05:12,333 Speaker 2: saying that people don't get into politics. You scared of abuse? 108 00:05:12,413 --> 00:05:14,893 Speaker 2: I mean, threats are one thing. Obviously, threats need to 109 00:05:14,893 --> 00:05:16,813 Speaker 2: be dealt with by the police if they're credible. But 110 00:05:17,253 --> 00:05:20,453 Speaker 2: isn't it better to learn to deal with abuse. Isn't 111 00:05:20,493 --> 00:05:22,773 Speaker 2: that what you're supposed to do. If you believe in something, 112 00:05:22,813 --> 00:05:28,813 Speaker 2: then you go into local body or central government ready 113 00:05:28,853 --> 00:05:32,533 Speaker 2: to take the slings and arrows for the cause. Because 114 00:05:32,813 --> 00:05:34,613 Speaker 2: you're never going to live in a world where people 115 00:05:34,693 --> 00:05:36,892 Speaker 2: don't abuse you. It's just not going to happen. 116 00:05:36,933 --> 00:05:38,973 Speaker 3: If you're in the public eye, you cannot escape it. 117 00:05:39,053 --> 00:05:40,693 Speaker 2: So you're going to learn to do If you're walking 118 00:05:40,693 --> 00:05:42,893 Speaker 2: around the office, you're not going to escape it. If 119 00:05:42,973 --> 00:05:45,533 Speaker 2: you're driving in a car, you're not going to escape it. 120 00:05:45,653 --> 00:05:49,373 Speaker 2: Better to learn how to deal with abuse rather than 121 00:05:49,613 --> 00:05:52,973 Speaker 2: expect the world to smooth it south out to be 122 00:05:53,293 --> 00:05:57,173 Speaker 2: this perfect place for you where you never front up 123 00:05:57,213 --> 00:06:01,533 Speaker 2: to any kind of insult. I just don't think it's possible. 124 00:06:02,013 --> 00:06:05,253 Speaker 2: You know there's always going to be abuse. Do you 125 00:06:05,293 --> 00:06:07,773 Speaker 2: want to you think you can change people or change yourself? 126 00:06:07,813 --> 00:06:09,973 Speaker 2: I guess would be the question. I've got to say interesting, 127 00:06:10,053 --> 00:06:13,613 Speaker 2: and even you know in the public I right, even 128 00:06:13,653 --> 00:06:17,533 Speaker 2: if five percent of us are crazy yep. Then then 129 00:06:17,653 --> 00:06:19,173 Speaker 2: that's going to be quite a lot of abuse, because 130 00:06:19,173 --> 00:06:21,693 Speaker 2: the abuse of people abuse a lot. I mean, you 131 00:06:21,693 --> 00:06:23,613 Speaker 2: look at our text machine, like ninety nine percent of 132 00:06:23,653 --> 00:06:26,293 Speaker 2: it is lovely stuff, but there's there's some abuse comes 133 00:06:26,333 --> 00:06:28,893 Speaker 2: through every day. We're constantly getting hassled. Maybe ninety percent 134 00:06:28,893 --> 00:06:31,333 Speaker 2: of it's nice stuff. Ten percent is an abuse just 135 00:06:31,373 --> 00:06:33,493 Speaker 2: come through and sults like there's a bunch coming through now. 136 00:06:34,493 --> 00:06:36,413 Speaker 3: And it's the same people. You're right, Then you go 137 00:06:36,493 --> 00:06:39,453 Speaker 3: back in and see the people even to go with everybody. 138 00:06:39,133 --> 00:06:40,853 Speaker 2: I'm sure they're the same people that are abusing you 139 00:06:41,093 --> 00:06:45,213 Speaker 2: and an eye, Yep, they'll be bloody abusing whoever in 140 00:06:45,253 --> 00:06:47,933 Speaker 2: the weekend, the weekend collective. Yep, they'll be. They'll be 141 00:06:48,173 --> 00:06:50,253 Speaker 2: then they'll be abusing their counselor it's an abuse for 142 00:06:50,333 --> 00:06:53,093 Speaker 2: three going on. So are you going to you're going 143 00:06:53,173 --> 00:06:55,813 Speaker 2: to make the universe change for you or are you 144 00:06:55,893 --> 00:06:58,213 Speaker 2: going to deal with the reality of the universe and 145 00:06:58,333 --> 00:06:59,653 Speaker 2: harden up? That will be my question. 146 00:06:59,733 --> 00:07:01,733 Speaker 3: That's going to be interesting after talk clob But right now, 147 00:07:01,813 --> 00:07:05,013 Speaker 3: let's have a chat about the properties that our politicians own. 148 00:07:05,133 --> 00:07:08,853 Speaker 3: So a dive by The New Zealand Herald has worked 149 00:07:08,853 --> 00:07:12,853 Speaker 3: out that combined MPs are worth three hundred and seventy 150 00:07:12,933 --> 00:07:15,213 Speaker 3: nine million dollars in terms of the property that they've got. 151 00:07:15,213 --> 00:07:17,573 Speaker 3: That's an average of three million bucks across each of 152 00:07:17,613 --> 00:07:19,973 Speaker 3: our one hundred and twenty three members of Parliament. So 153 00:07:20,253 --> 00:07:23,093 Speaker 3: I'll just go through the top three. Actually, do we 154 00:07:23,093 --> 00:07:24,893 Speaker 3: even want to name them? No, I'll go through the 155 00:07:24,893 --> 00:07:27,853 Speaker 3: top three. So the first one was Susie Redmain. She 156 00:07:28,173 --> 00:07:30,693 Speaker 3: is the MP for Rangya Tiki and she owns twenty 157 00:07:30,693 --> 00:07:32,453 Speaker 3: four point three million dollars with a property. 158 00:07:32,493 --> 00:07:34,653 Speaker 2: But one of those is a farm, right correct, So 159 00:07:34,853 --> 00:07:37,933 Speaker 2: she runs she owns an eighteen point five million dollar farm. 160 00:07:38,133 --> 00:07:40,293 Speaker 2: And the interesting thing about this whole list is it 161 00:07:40,333 --> 00:07:44,173 Speaker 2: doesn't take into account debt. Right, No, good point, very 162 00:07:44,213 --> 00:07:48,413 Speaker 2: good point. So do we want like because the question, 163 00:07:48,493 --> 00:07:51,853 Speaker 2: I mean, I guess the implicit suggestion here in this 164 00:07:52,013 --> 00:07:57,053 Speaker 2: article and the conversation is that someone owning property means 165 00:07:57,053 --> 00:08:00,453 Speaker 2: that they may make decisions that are more focused towards 166 00:08:00,453 --> 00:08:03,973 Speaker 2: people that own property. Right, Yeah, that's the implication. Yeah. 167 00:08:04,053 --> 00:08:07,333 Speaker 3: So chrisph Luxen was next at fifteen point two million dollars, 168 00:08:07,333 --> 00:08:11,773 Speaker 3: and then Barbara Crue Taranaki King Country fourteen point six million, 169 00:08:11,853 --> 00:08:14,573 Speaker 3: so again a couple of farmers there, and a lot 170 00:08:14,613 --> 00:08:17,133 Speaker 3: has been made over Christoph Luxeen's property over the last 171 00:08:17,133 --> 00:08:19,973 Speaker 3: couple of years. But it raises a big question, why 172 00:08:20,213 --> 00:08:22,773 Speaker 3: do we care about the value of the property MP's own. 173 00:08:22,893 --> 00:08:25,053 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right one hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two 174 00:08:25,253 --> 00:08:28,413 Speaker 2: nine two. Does it matter that politicians have property? Sixty 175 00:08:28,493 --> 00:08:31,733 Speaker 2: six percent of New Zealander's own property, so you would 176 00:08:31,733 --> 00:08:36,132 Speaker 2: expect there to be some people in Parliament that owned property, yea? 177 00:08:37,173 --> 00:08:39,613 Speaker 2: Or do you think there's there's an upper limited property 178 00:08:39,612 --> 00:08:42,373 Speaker 2: they should own. I mean, arguab left sixty six percent 179 00:08:42,413 --> 00:08:44,413 Speaker 2: of the property, then maybe they should be a lot 180 00:08:44,453 --> 00:08:46,253 Speaker 2: of it. But yeah, I mean it used to be 181 00:08:46,293 --> 00:08:48,813 Speaker 2: that only landlords could vote because you were seen to 182 00:08:48,813 --> 00:08:51,732 Speaker 2: have to own part of the country so you could vote, 183 00:08:51,732 --> 00:08:54,653 Speaker 2: and then they changed that obviously. Do you think it 184 00:08:54,693 --> 00:08:57,773 Speaker 2: makes them corrupt and likely to make choices in the 185 00:08:57,773 --> 00:09:00,333 Speaker 2: benefit of their portfolios? I mean when you go one 186 00:09:00,333 --> 00:09:03,533 Speaker 2: of you know, the farm eighteen point five million dollar farm, 187 00:09:03,612 --> 00:09:05,213 Speaker 2: it would be crazy to say that we don't want 188 00:09:05,252 --> 00:09:09,292 Speaker 2: any farm owners and government because you know, farming such 189 00:09:09,333 --> 00:09:11,813 Speaker 2: a huge butt of our economy, so surely you want 190 00:09:11,852 --> 00:09:13,052 Speaker 2: farmers to be represented in. 191 00:09:13,093 --> 00:09:16,772 Speaker 3: Exactly more so if anything, but I one hundred and 192 00:09:16,813 --> 00:09:20,013 Speaker 3: eighty t and eighty, I will say that if I 193 00:09:20,053 --> 00:09:23,292 Speaker 3: see a politician and I know what politicians get paid, 194 00:09:23,732 --> 00:09:25,613 Speaker 3: see a politician on that list and they don't own 195 00:09:25,653 --> 00:09:29,373 Speaker 3: any property, I'd probably question that more to say where 196 00:09:29,693 --> 00:09:32,813 Speaker 3: are your financial skills? Honestly, No, I've been honest here. 197 00:09:32,852 --> 00:09:33,813 Speaker 2: What age politician? 198 00:09:33,852 --> 00:09:34,053 Speaker 4: Though? 199 00:09:34,892 --> 00:09:37,293 Speaker 3: Look if they're a newcomer and they're in their late twenties, 200 00:09:37,293 --> 00:09:39,693 Speaker 3: and I'd say fair enough, you're still fairly young at 201 00:09:39,732 --> 00:09:41,612 Speaker 3: that stage. And maybe now that you've got a good 202 00:09:41,653 --> 00:09:44,133 Speaker 3: paying job, you'll start to get into the property market. 203 00:09:44,252 --> 00:09:46,093 Speaker 3: Because that's what we're told from an early age is 204 00:09:46,132 --> 00:09:47,773 Speaker 3: that's how you can get ahead in life. It's not 205 00:09:48,213 --> 00:09:50,732 Speaker 3: just to earn money. It's a place to call home, 206 00:09:50,773 --> 00:09:53,533 Speaker 3: but it is something that you can look at at 207 00:09:53,573 --> 00:09:54,133 Speaker 3: your retirement. 208 00:09:54,173 --> 00:09:54,973 Speaker 2: Is a bit of anistic. 209 00:09:55,012 --> 00:09:57,173 Speaker 3: That's what we've always been told in this country is 210 00:09:57,213 --> 00:09:58,853 Speaker 3: that's the way to get on the property ladder and 211 00:09:58,852 --> 00:09:59,492 Speaker 3: build them wealth. 212 00:09:59,573 --> 00:10:02,173 Speaker 2: But the argument I guess that's been put through there 213 00:10:02,453 --> 00:10:04,813 Speaker 2: is saying if you go into parliament and you say 214 00:10:04,973 --> 00:10:10,053 Speaker 2: have three properties, then are you you going to put 215 00:10:10,093 --> 00:10:12,493 Speaker 2: forward policies or vote for policies in a way that 216 00:10:12,492 --> 00:10:15,532 Speaker 2: affects your portfolio. I mean that's that that is the 217 00:10:15,653 --> 00:10:17,612 Speaker 2: argument that's coming from the other side of it. Yeah, 218 00:10:17,653 --> 00:10:19,172 Speaker 2: but I don't. Yeah, it'd be interesting to see what 219 00:10:19,173 --> 00:10:24,053 Speaker 2: people think our weit one hundred and eighty ten eighty years. 220 00:10:24,093 --> 00:10:25,973 Speaker 3: The number come on through and that teachs number as 221 00:10:25,973 --> 00:10:27,893 Speaker 3: we're getting plenty of techs nine two nine two. 222 00:10:27,973 --> 00:10:28,933 Speaker 2: But let's get into this. 223 00:10:29,053 --> 00:10:32,252 Speaker 3: Do you care how much property your local politician or 224 00:10:32,293 --> 00:10:35,573 Speaker 3: any politician owns? And if you do, why love to 225 00:10:35,612 --> 00:10:37,493 Speaker 3: hear from your sixteen past one back in a mop. 226 00:10:38,252 --> 00:10:41,732 Speaker 1: The big stories, the big issues, the big trends and 227 00:10:41,973 --> 00:10:42,973 Speaker 1: everything in between. 228 00:10:43,173 --> 00:10:46,093 Speaker 4: Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons used talks. 229 00:10:46,093 --> 00:10:49,333 Speaker 3: It'd be very good afternoon to you. So we are 230 00:10:49,413 --> 00:10:52,933 Speaker 3: talking about the property portfolios of our politicians? 231 00:10:53,012 --> 00:10:53,853 Speaker 2: Do you care? 232 00:10:53,973 --> 00:10:56,173 Speaker 3: Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is that number 233 00:10:56,213 --> 00:10:56,453 Speaker 3: to call? 234 00:10:56,973 --> 00:10:59,293 Speaker 2: The sixty dozen? Sorry I've already texted, but this is 235 00:10:59,293 --> 00:11:01,892 Speaker 2: a media beat up perspective. Check. New Zealand's property market 236 00:11:01,973 --> 00:11:04,973 Speaker 2: is about two point twenty five trillion. All one hundred 237 00:11:04,973 --> 00:11:07,973 Speaker 2: and twenty MPs combined only own three hundred and seventy 238 00:11:08,053 --> 00:11:11,813 Speaker 2: nine moves by barely zero point zero one seven of 239 00:11:11,852 --> 00:11:16,293 Speaker 2: the total. Had some good maths right there. This is 240 00:11:16,333 --> 00:11:19,772 Speaker 2: the same as the tobacco interests problem, sayss text. The 241 00:11:19,852 --> 00:11:23,732 Speaker 2: National Act are bought and sold by big business and money. 242 00:11:23,973 --> 00:11:27,053 Speaker 2: Of course, it's all National Act with the property. Okay, 243 00:11:27,372 --> 00:11:32,813 Speaker 2: there you go. It's not all national an Act. I 244 00:11:33,213 --> 00:11:36,252 Speaker 2: think you're find that Willy Jackson's up there. Yep, He's 245 00:11:36,252 --> 00:11:39,333 Speaker 2: got a lot of property. Willy Jackson's in there that 246 00:11:39,773 --> 00:11:42,693 Speaker 2: Justin Peters, Winston Peters has got a bit yep. So 247 00:11:43,492 --> 00:11:45,852 Speaker 2: you know, you know, the top four are all national 248 00:11:45,852 --> 00:11:49,093 Speaker 2: but one of those, I think two of those accounting farms. Yes, 249 00:11:49,333 --> 00:11:52,493 Speaker 2: And I think counting farms is kind of interesting because 250 00:11:53,453 --> 00:11:56,613 Speaker 2: as a farmer property or a business, and how much 251 00:11:56,693 --> 00:11:58,733 Speaker 2: is the farm leveraged? Exactly? 252 00:11:58,773 --> 00:12:00,813 Speaker 3: What's the mortgage on that Celia way Brown for the 253 00:12:00,813 --> 00:12:03,012 Speaker 3: Green Party? Two point nine million, so she's up there 254 00:12:03,012 --> 00:12:06,293 Speaker 3: as well. Nine two nine two is that text number? 255 00:12:06,573 --> 00:12:08,893 Speaker 3: Get a Scott's Oh. 256 00:12:08,813 --> 00:12:10,652 Speaker 5: Boys, you've just stolen the thunder? 257 00:12:10,933 --> 00:12:14,293 Speaker 6: Ah? 258 00:12:14,372 --> 00:12:19,413 Speaker 5: Well see you readmade and Barbara Kuruger what's the mortgage 259 00:12:19,453 --> 00:12:20,133 Speaker 5: on their properties? 260 00:12:20,892 --> 00:12:22,493 Speaker 2: It's a good question, and I don't know if they've 261 00:12:22,492 --> 00:12:23,173 Speaker 2: breaking that down. 262 00:12:24,252 --> 00:12:26,333 Speaker 5: No, jealous didn't do any investigation into it. 263 00:12:27,132 --> 00:12:30,013 Speaker 2: I mean that's crucial, isn't it. That's a crucial part 264 00:12:30,053 --> 00:12:30,213 Speaker 2: of it. 265 00:12:31,653 --> 00:12:33,413 Speaker 5: Just a quick question, man, how much is your place 266 00:12:33,453 --> 00:12:34,293 Speaker 5: worth that you just bought? 267 00:12:36,732 --> 00:12:41,573 Speaker 2: I couldn't possibly say, luckily, you know what, Luckily Scott 268 00:12:43,333 --> 00:12:48,413 Speaker 2: radio hosts don't have to declear their property interest heavily leveraged. 269 00:12:49,372 --> 00:12:51,772 Speaker 5: And what's your sorry Tyler, what's your place worth? 270 00:12:52,933 --> 00:12:56,933 Speaker 3: Probably it's down in christ Church, so it is. It's 271 00:12:56,973 --> 00:13:04,693 Speaker 3: definitely suber mill yep, yep. And again heavily leveraged, heavily Scott. 272 00:13:04,732 --> 00:13:06,413 Speaker 2: My property is worth a lot more since I cleared 273 00:13:06,413 --> 00:13:09,413 Speaker 2: out the yackers over the weekend. 274 00:13:11,252 --> 00:13:14,173 Speaker 5: Bottom bottom line is I don't care what your places 275 00:13:14,333 --> 00:13:16,252 Speaker 5: with I don't care what the n s places are with. 276 00:13:18,093 --> 00:13:18,132 Speaker 4: You. 277 00:13:18,333 --> 00:13:20,372 Speaker 5: That's a third world question that we're dealing in the 278 00:13:20,453 --> 00:13:22,893 Speaker 5: first world question. We're dealing with you who cares? 279 00:13:23,293 --> 00:13:25,493 Speaker 3: Yeah, you'd prefer I mean, does that say to you 280 00:13:25,573 --> 00:13:27,453 Speaker 3: that they've been clever in life? That you want to 281 00:13:27,453 --> 00:13:30,532 Speaker 3: see people in those positions that have actually achieved something 282 00:13:30,653 --> 00:13:32,573 Speaker 3: and done well with their finances. 283 00:13:33,453 --> 00:13:35,973 Speaker 5: I don't know. Do they come to the city Redman 284 00:13:36,053 --> 00:13:39,213 Speaker 5: and Barbara Kuruga come from farming families or do their 285 00:13:39,252 --> 00:13:40,812 Speaker 5: husbands come from farming family. 286 00:13:40,653 --> 00:13:44,013 Speaker 3: Barbara Krueger definitely does I know that she's She's been 287 00:13:44,372 --> 00:13:46,973 Speaker 3: many generations of farmers and the Krugers and the Taranaki 288 00:13:47,053 --> 00:13:49,413 Speaker 3: king country. As for Susie Redmain, I'd have to do 289 00:13:49,453 --> 00:13:50,052 Speaker 3: some digging on that. 290 00:13:50,413 --> 00:13:54,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, the original thing you're like one of the other 291 00:13:54,213 --> 00:13:55,973 Speaker 2: things you're saying, Scott. It's an interesting thing to say 292 00:13:56,012 --> 00:13:59,333 Speaker 2: to someone you know you are worth, say your house 293 00:13:59,413 --> 00:14:01,293 Speaker 2: is worth one point five million, and someone saying you're 294 00:14:01,293 --> 00:14:04,533 Speaker 2: a millionaire, but if you are one point three million 295 00:14:04,573 --> 00:14:08,133 Speaker 2: to the bank, you're arguably the exact opposite of a millionaire. 296 00:14:08,132 --> 00:14:10,293 Speaker 2: You're you're a negative one point three milliennire. 297 00:14:10,413 --> 00:14:14,372 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know absolutely so whoever wrote that story, and 298 00:14:14,372 --> 00:14:15,973 Speaker 5: I would love to know how much new places we 299 00:14:15,973 --> 00:14:19,733 Speaker 5: were actually make should have done it. But a research 300 00:14:19,773 --> 00:14:22,733 Speaker 5: and said, so is the property freehold or do you 301 00:14:22,773 --> 00:14:24,773 Speaker 5: have a mortgage on it now? Scott, And I'm guessing 302 00:14:24,813 --> 00:14:27,493 Speaker 5: the farms are runners commercial empathies. You're not going to 303 00:14:27,493 --> 00:14:28,333 Speaker 5: be a lifestyle block. 304 00:14:28,573 --> 00:14:31,253 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think we absolutely a few people would 305 00:14:31,253 --> 00:14:34,933 Speaker 2: say they wouldn't want farmers in government, considering how huge 306 00:14:35,053 --> 00:14:38,933 Speaker 2: the agricultural sector is to our economy, so you'd want 307 00:14:39,253 --> 00:14:43,253 Speaker 2: you would want farming representation in government. But do you 308 00:14:43,253 --> 00:14:46,373 Speaker 2: think Scott, say you're in parliament right and you own 309 00:14:46,733 --> 00:14:50,412 Speaker 2: five houses, say this is a totally hypothetical question, and 310 00:14:50,573 --> 00:14:56,293 Speaker 2: there was a vote and the vote damage your portfofolio portfolio? 311 00:14:57,133 --> 00:15:01,253 Speaker 2: Would you would you be big enough and ethically right 312 00:15:01,293 --> 00:15:03,373 Speaker 2: minded enough if you thought it was the right thing 313 00:15:03,413 --> 00:15:05,853 Speaker 2: to do that you vote for for a way that 314 00:15:05,933 --> 00:15:07,013 Speaker 2: damaged your portfolio? 315 00:15:08,533 --> 00:15:12,533 Speaker 5: Hard to see, it would be hard to envisage a 316 00:15:12,853 --> 00:15:16,653 Speaker 5: question that would impact it to that degree, such as 317 00:15:16,773 --> 00:15:20,773 Speaker 5: the taking away the tax relief in come on rental properties. 318 00:15:21,373 --> 00:15:22,933 Speaker 5: But it's very simple for an MP, if that they 319 00:15:22,973 --> 00:15:26,373 Speaker 5: were in that position, to reduce themselves from the vote. 320 00:15:27,013 --> 00:15:29,733 Speaker 2: But what would you think? So you would you would 321 00:15:29,773 --> 00:15:32,573 Speaker 2: think that that that they should recuse themselves from the 322 00:15:32,653 --> 00:15:37,853 Speaker 2: vote just generally, or if they felt that they had 323 00:15:37,893 --> 00:15:39,493 Speaker 2: a bias on the situation, if you know what I mean, Like, 324 00:15:39,533 --> 00:15:41,733 Speaker 2: do you think that all if it comes to a 325 00:15:41,813 --> 00:15:46,733 Speaker 2: vote on landlords and what tax they can do, that 326 00:15:46,853 --> 00:15:48,693 Speaker 2: anyone that's a landlord didn't vote on that. 327 00:15:51,133 --> 00:15:54,253 Speaker 5: I mean, there has been very little legislation introduced which 328 00:15:54,333 --> 00:15:58,413 Speaker 5: is dramatically or drastically changed the market that much. I mean, 329 00:15:58,453 --> 00:16:01,973 Speaker 5: we introduced healthy homes. Landlords dealt with it. We introduced 330 00:16:01,973 --> 00:16:05,573 Speaker 5: the removal of the ring fencing on the tax deduction, 331 00:16:05,933 --> 00:16:08,973 Speaker 5: not the removal of the tax, just the deduct against 332 00:16:08,973 --> 00:16:13,493 Speaker 5: personal incomes. That didn't affect a lot of landlords. Sit down, 333 00:16:13,533 --> 00:16:15,693 Speaker 5: it didn't affect a lot of landlords who run their 334 00:16:15,733 --> 00:16:19,052 Speaker 5: property professionally and well. Doesn't matter if you're an MP, 335 00:16:19,413 --> 00:16:23,893 Speaker 5: or you're a civil architect or a landscape gardner who 336 00:16:23,973 --> 00:16:26,813 Speaker 5: just have bought a couple of or rental property or 337 00:16:26,813 --> 00:16:28,893 Speaker 5: a couple of rental properties when you're young and smart, 338 00:16:29,133 --> 00:16:36,053 Speaker 5: or a spec builder. Most of it doesn't affect well 339 00:16:36,373 --> 00:16:40,093 Speaker 5: commercial property owners or residential or even rural property owners 340 00:16:40,093 --> 00:16:43,213 Speaker 5: that most of the decisions made in Parliament don't affect 341 00:16:43,253 --> 00:16:45,813 Speaker 5: them to the extent that they would have to consider 342 00:16:45,893 --> 00:16:47,013 Speaker 5: selling their property asset. 343 00:16:47,693 --> 00:16:50,292 Speaker 2: What about capital gains tax which has been brought through 344 00:16:51,133 --> 00:16:53,052 Speaker 2: you know labours saying that that's what they want to 345 00:16:53,053 --> 00:16:55,133 Speaker 2: bring in if they get in a capital gains tax, 346 00:16:55,373 --> 00:16:58,653 Speaker 2: but they keep saying things like it won't include the 347 00:16:58,693 --> 00:17:02,133 Speaker 2: family home because and you could argue that all of them, 348 00:17:02,453 --> 00:17:05,893 Speaker 2: nearly all of them in labor I imagine judging how 349 00:17:05,933 --> 00:17:09,893 Speaker 2: old most politicians are own a family home. So you 350 00:17:09,933 --> 00:17:12,813 Speaker 2: could question, you could say, well, why is it is 351 00:17:12,893 --> 00:17:15,573 Speaker 2: it does not include the family home, and we actually 352 00:17:15,613 --> 00:17:17,013 Speaker 2: know why it is because they know they can't get 353 00:17:17,013 --> 00:17:20,093 Speaker 2: elected with the family home. But you see what I 354 00:17:20,093 --> 00:17:22,373 Speaker 2: mean across the board at the capital gains tax and 355 00:17:22,413 --> 00:17:26,813 Speaker 2: how you sit on that does affect, it does affect. 356 00:17:27,213 --> 00:17:29,653 Speaker 2: You know, you're nearly everyone in parliament. 357 00:17:29,693 --> 00:17:33,973 Speaker 5: I'd say, only from the introduction of the property, and 358 00:17:34,413 --> 00:17:37,773 Speaker 5: again going back to to the redmin and Barbara Kuragan, 359 00:17:38,333 --> 00:17:41,253 Speaker 5: they would put forward that the farm is the main 360 00:17:41,293 --> 00:17:44,013 Speaker 5: place of residence. Yes it's a farm, and yes it 361 00:17:44,093 --> 00:17:47,053 Speaker 5: might be worth eighteen millions, Okay, it's a big dairy operation. 362 00:17:47,373 --> 00:17:50,973 Speaker 5: While I looks at it, that's the main place. That's 363 00:17:51,013 --> 00:17:52,853 Speaker 5: the family home. It just happens to be that the 364 00:17:52,893 --> 00:17:57,773 Speaker 5: family home is on a commercial, commercially run property, but 365 00:17:57,773 --> 00:17:59,693 Speaker 5: it's still the family home. So they would have very 366 00:17:59,693 --> 00:18:02,813 Speaker 5: smart lawyers and very smart accountants, as would all the 367 00:18:02,893 --> 00:18:07,053 Speaker 5: rural community and potentially some of the commercial owning community 368 00:18:07,093 --> 00:18:09,853 Speaker 5: as well. Will work your way around that should it 369 00:18:09,893 --> 00:18:11,453 Speaker 5: ever come in through whatever party. 370 00:18:11,853 --> 00:18:13,853 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think if you, of course Scott appreciate it. 371 00:18:13,933 --> 00:18:17,052 Speaker 3: Interesting point just on the you know, whether they've got 372 00:18:17,093 --> 00:18:19,493 Speaker 3: a conflict of interest and they make a vote, I'd 373 00:18:19,533 --> 00:18:22,293 Speaker 3: still argue, as you mentioned that step before, sixty six 374 00:18:22,333 --> 00:18:25,293 Speaker 3: percent of New Zealand as a homeowners right. So when 375 00:18:25,293 --> 00:18:26,973 Speaker 3: you look at a party like National and I think 376 00:18:26,973 --> 00:18:29,213 Speaker 3: it's different for some of the smallest parties. They've got 377 00:18:29,253 --> 00:18:31,773 Speaker 3: their niche or their area that they're trying to go for. 378 00:18:31,813 --> 00:18:33,853 Speaker 3: But when your National Labor, you want as many people 379 00:18:33,893 --> 00:18:36,893 Speaker 3: as possible across the line. So I would stand by 380 00:18:36,933 --> 00:18:40,093 Speaker 3: they're not voting for self interest, They're voting to represent 381 00:18:40,173 --> 00:18:43,133 Speaker 3: sixty six percent of the population. But many people would 382 00:18:43,213 --> 00:18:45,093 Speaker 3: argue and ken you hear from you, Oh eight hundred 383 00:18:45,093 --> 00:18:46,253 Speaker 3: and eighty teen eighty is that number? 384 00:18:46,333 --> 00:18:50,013 Speaker 2: Have you ever taken a stance on talkback radio that 385 00:18:50,093 --> 00:18:50,893 Speaker 2: benefits you? 386 00:18:51,373 --> 00:18:51,573 Speaker 7: Yeah? 387 00:18:51,613 --> 00:18:57,053 Speaker 1: All the time, the headlines and the hard questions. It's 388 00:18:57,093 --> 00:18:58,693 Speaker 1: the make asking breakfast time. 389 00:18:58,733 --> 00:19:00,253 Speaker 2: Minister is with us? Now do you want to talk 390 00:19:00,293 --> 00:19:02,733 Speaker 2: about the coup? The what the coup? Well, but the 391 00:19:02,773 --> 00:19:05,253 Speaker 2: christ Bishop coup is coming for you. I said, what 392 00:19:05,293 --> 00:19:07,293 Speaker 2: I'm listening. I can be honest, I'm mightly hard to 393 00:19:07,333 --> 00:19:09,293 Speaker 2: take this seriously because I've had all of this before. 394 00:19:11,253 --> 00:19:14,093 Speaker 2: I'm listening to Heather Duplicy, Allen, He's coming for you. Look, 395 00:19:14,293 --> 00:19:16,013 Speaker 2: I don't think that is the case. He is a 396 00:19:16,093 --> 00:19:18,533 Speaker 2: great minister, he's a good friend, and he's doing an awesome job. 397 00:19:18,613 --> 00:19:19,733 Speaker 2: Where has all this come from him? 398 00:19:19,973 --> 00:19:20,453 Speaker 4: I don't know. 399 00:19:20,573 --> 00:19:22,453 Speaker 2: It's hard to take it seriously. As I said before, 400 00:19:22,493 --> 00:19:24,493 Speaker 2: I've been reading this stuff ever since I came here, 401 00:19:24,653 --> 00:19:26,133 Speaker 2: but I'm very focused on what I've got to do. 402 00:19:26,373 --> 00:19:28,813 Speaker 2: You will lead the National Party to the elections in 403 00:19:28,893 --> 00:19:33,173 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six, absolutely, no question, No question. Back tomorrow 404 00:19:33,173 --> 00:19:36,093 Speaker 2: at six am the Mike Hosking Breakfast with a Vida 405 00:19:36,253 --> 00:19:39,133 Speaker 2: News Talk ZEDB News Talk ZEDB. 406 00:19:39,333 --> 00:19:42,133 Speaker 3: So we're talking about the properties that politicians own, and 407 00:19:42,173 --> 00:19:43,453 Speaker 3: there's been a bit of a deep dive in the 408 00:19:43,453 --> 00:19:45,893 Speaker 3: hero about that. The question we put to you is 409 00:19:45,973 --> 00:19:48,813 Speaker 3: do you care if there is a politician that has 410 00:19:49,173 --> 00:19:51,693 Speaker 3: multimillions of dollars worth of property? Does that matter to 411 00:19:51,693 --> 00:19:53,293 Speaker 3: you O eight one hundred and eighty ten eighty. 412 00:19:53,133 --> 00:19:56,853 Speaker 2: Or the reverse, Guys, I'm worried about the large representation 413 00:19:56,933 --> 00:20:00,773 Speaker 2: of less wealthy politicians and government. This clearly influences a 414 00:20:00,813 --> 00:20:04,933 Speaker 2: decision towards supporting poorer people and bettering their own situation. 415 00:20:06,013 --> 00:20:09,013 Speaker 2: I would, as you said, Tyler, And I don't know 416 00:20:09,053 --> 00:20:11,493 Speaker 2: where my opinions come from. They just bubble up from 417 00:20:11,533 --> 00:20:13,493 Speaker 2: the primitive side of my head. But if there was 418 00:20:13,493 --> 00:20:17,773 Speaker 2: a politician in their forties in government and they were 419 00:20:17,773 --> 00:20:20,133 Speaker 2: still renting, I would go, what have you been up to? 420 00:20:20,173 --> 00:20:21,653 Speaker 2: If you've got a drug problem, well. 421 00:20:21,773 --> 00:20:24,893 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, I'll judge them and say there's something going 422 00:20:24,973 --> 00:20:25,253 Speaker 3: on here. 423 00:20:25,453 --> 00:20:27,052 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I've got a dark past. I mean, 424 00:20:27,373 --> 00:20:29,292 Speaker 2: I'm not blaming it. Like people can make their decisions 425 00:20:29,293 --> 00:20:32,693 Speaker 2: about renting. Absolutely in some people, for whatever reason in 426 00:20:32,733 --> 00:20:34,813 Speaker 2: their lives don't own their houses and their forties whatever. 427 00:20:35,453 --> 00:20:37,493 Speaker 2: But if you're a politician and you're putting your hand 428 00:20:37,573 --> 00:20:40,532 Speaker 2: up to lead people, I'd think you'd want to at 429 00:20:40,613 --> 00:20:42,693 Speaker 2: least have the fiscal know how to end up with 430 00:20:42,733 --> 00:20:46,173 Speaker 2: a property. Yeah, after you know, in your forties, right exactly. 431 00:20:46,253 --> 00:20:47,973 Speaker 3: And most of them, I mean, if you're an MP, 432 00:20:48,093 --> 00:20:50,133 Speaker 3: you get paid at least one hundred and eighty thousand dollars. 433 00:20:50,213 --> 00:20:51,453 Speaker 2: Most of them are on more than that. 434 00:20:52,093 --> 00:20:54,013 Speaker 3: If that, if you can't afford a mortgage on that, 435 00:20:54,133 --> 00:20:56,413 Speaker 3: it's just one salary, then you've you know, sometimes got 436 00:20:56,413 --> 00:20:57,933 Speaker 3: a partner who's earning income as well. 437 00:20:57,973 --> 00:20:59,493 Speaker 2: But even if you get but especially if you go 438 00:20:59,533 --> 00:21:01,333 Speaker 2: into politics in late life, so if you're looking around 439 00:21:01,333 --> 00:21:02,853 Speaker 2: at the world and going, I haven't managed to get 440 00:21:02,893 --> 00:21:05,333 Speaker 2: a house, but I'm the kind of person that can 441 00:21:05,373 --> 00:21:07,253 Speaker 2: make the kind of right decisions that mean I should 442 00:21:07,253 --> 00:21:11,052 Speaker 2: be in Parliament. Yeah, exactly. I mean there's probably a 443 00:21:11,093 --> 00:21:12,893 Speaker 2: logical floor in there, and someone can point that out 444 00:21:12,933 --> 00:21:15,973 Speaker 2: on eight hundred and eighteen eighty. But my I'd look 445 00:21:15,973 --> 00:21:19,933 Speaker 2: at them and go, why gambling problem? 446 00:21:20,853 --> 00:21:22,613 Speaker 3: Right, we're a little bit late to the headlines, but 447 00:21:22,653 --> 00:21:24,173 Speaker 3: we've got full wards at the moment. If you can't 448 00:21:24,213 --> 00:21:27,333 Speaker 3: get through, keep trying. After the headlines, we're gonna have 449 00:21:27,333 --> 00:21:30,213 Speaker 3: a chet with Trevor.

Wendy. 476 00:22:55,613 --> 00:22:57,453 Speaker 3: So we are talking about a story in the Herald 477 00:22:57,453 --> 00:23:00,293 Speaker 3: it breaks down how much property politicians own and gives 478 00:23:00,333 --> 00:23:04,133 Speaker 3: a value to that. But Bryce Edwards, he's a political 479 00:23:04,173 --> 00:23:06,853 Speaker 3: analyst and he was speaking to Ryan Bridge this morning 480 00:23:06,893 --> 00:23:10,173 Speaker 3: and Ryan asks Ryan, excuse me why we should care? 481 00:23:10,413 --> 00:23:14,853 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean obviously there's some curiosity about what MPs own, 482 00:23:15,533 --> 00:23:20,213 Speaker 9: but it has some big ramifications for democracy, for policy making, 483 00:23:20,573 --> 00:23:26,733 Speaker 9: for housing justice, for I guess the trust of voters 484 00:23:26,733 --> 00:23:29,933 Speaker 9: in their representatives. Because this really shows that we have 485 00:23:30,373 --> 00:23:35,213 Speaker 9: a parliament of a very rich well three hundred and 486 00:23:35,213 --> 00:23:38,693 Speaker 9: eighty million dollars worth collectively or average three million dollars 487 00:23:38,733 --> 00:23:42,893 Speaker 9: in property each MP. This does mean that these aren't 488 00:23:43,053 --> 00:23:46,573 Speaker 9: ordinary citizens and that they when they're making decisions on 489 00:23:46,613 --> 00:23:49,773 Speaker 9: housing it, you know, there can be something of a 490 00:23:49,773 --> 00:23:52,973 Speaker 9: conflict of interest and it might explain why we don't 491 00:23:53,053 --> 00:23:58,173 Speaker 9: have some big changes to affordable housing over every parliament. 492 00:23:58,293 --> 00:24:01,733 Speaker 2: Essentially, it's an interesting thing. I mean, he's a very 493 00:24:01,733 --> 00:24:04,653 Speaker 2: smart man and I still love when he collated all 494 00:24:04,693 --> 00:24:07,493 Speaker 2: the news together. But a what's housing justice? It's a 495 00:24:07,533 --> 00:24:10,493 Speaker 2: new catchphrase and heard but do you want parliament?

But 634 00:30:42,453 --> 00:30:44,893 Speaker 2: on their resume they said that they had devoted their 635 00:30:45,013 --> 00:30:47,853 Speaker 2: life to something, so they had achieved a lot. Like 636 00:30:47,893 --> 00:30:49,613 Speaker 2: this person a text. It would be a totally different 637 00:30:49,613 --> 00:30:52,773 Speaker 2: thing if on their resume to get elect elected, if 638 00:30:52,773 --> 00:30:56,213 Speaker 2: they listed what they had achieved and it was putting 639 00:30:56,213 --> 00:30:59,933 Speaker 2: this many murderers away, helping this many people, and they 640 00:30:59,933 --> 00:31:03,213 Speaker 2: did it selflessly, and they haven't earned a lot of money, 641 00:31:03,533 --> 00:31:05,773 Speaker 2: then I'd be like, well, that's an awesome achievement and 642 00:31:05,853 --> 00:31:07,973 Speaker 2: you deserve to be in parliament because you've achieved something, 643 00:31:08,333 --> 00:31:10,493 Speaker 2: as you said, Tyler.

Yeah? 666 00:32:09,933 --> 00:32:12,813 Speaker 13: And I mean we do it with everything, whether it's sport. 667 00:32:12,933 --> 00:32:16,933 Speaker 13: We're so so quick to jump on people and being successful. 668 00:32:17,533 --> 00:32:19,133 Speaker 13: You know, they only have to put one toe out 669 00:32:19,133 --> 00:32:21,013 Speaker 13: of the line and they get jumped on. Now, we 670 00:32:21,013 --> 00:32:24,413 Speaker 13: should be proud and happy that we're doing well and 671 00:32:24,493 --> 00:32:27,653 Speaker 13: people can get ahead and do things well, not try 672 00:32:27,693 --> 00:32:29,773 Speaker 13: and hold people back. And let's seems to be what's 673 00:32:29,773 --> 00:32:30,893 Speaker 13: happening at the moment. 674 00:32:31,053 --> 00:32:32,853 Speaker 3: You get on your mart Do you think part of 675 00:32:32,893 --> 00:32:35,933 Speaker 3: it is that, look, politicians trust has gone down a 676 00:32:35,933 --> 00:32:38,173 Speaker 3: little bit. But there's something in people's mind when they 677 00:32:38,213 --> 00:32:41,973 Speaker 3: think of politicians that they don't deserve to have the 678 00:32:42,013 --> 00:32:44,333 Speaker 3: wealth that they've got, or they get worried about how 679 00:32:44,413 --> 00:32:47,733 Speaker 3: much politicians get paid. Where I would hope that someone 680 00:32:47,773 --> 00:32:50,253 Speaker 3: like Peter Beek, for example, he's now a billionaire and 681 00:32:50,293 --> 00:32:52,933 Speaker 3: you see what he's done with that company, and I'm 682 00:32:52,973 --> 00:32:55,373 Speaker 3: sure there are some tool poppy out there people out there. 683 00:32:55,373 --> 00:32:58,733 Speaker 3: When it comes to own house, I'm imagine he owns 684 00:32:59,053 --> 00:33:03,293 Speaker 3: multiple scarm scarm. But there's something about when people think 685 00:33:03,293 --> 00:33:07,653 Speaker 3: about politicians. It is politicians solely who get slammed from 686 00:33:07,693 --> 00:33:10,173 Speaker 3: having anything thing. I've got a house, How dare you? 687 00:33:10,213 --> 00:33:11,973 Speaker 3: How did you get there? Why do you deserve that? 688 00:33:12,133 --> 00:33:13,933 Speaker 3: So what is it about our mentality when it comes 689 00:33:13,933 --> 00:33:14,613 Speaker 3: to politicians? 690 00:33:15,253 --> 00:33:18,933 Speaker 2: Well, I think the thing is tyler the as Bryce 691 00:33:19,013 --> 00:33:22,413 Speaker 2: Edwards was suggesting that you will vote in a way 692 00:33:22,453 --> 00:33:26,013 Speaker 2: to protect your portfolio. But you know, you couldn't argue 693 00:33:26,013 --> 00:33:29,093 Speaker 2: that anywhere. If you if you see if a politician 694 00:33:29,213 --> 00:33:31,773 Speaker 2: rides up to Parliament and a horse, you like this guy, 695 00:33:31,973 --> 00:33:34,893 Speaker 2: this guy is going to be voting uh you know 696 00:33:35,253 --> 00:33:39,373 Speaker 2: pro horse, pr Yeah, you know pro horse. You know 697 00:33:39,653 --> 00:33:42,293 Speaker 2: if you saw David Seymour vaping out the front of Parliament, 698 00:33:42,293 --> 00:33:45,613 Speaker 2: You're like, yeah, he's going to vote pro voping. You know, 699 00:33:45,733 --> 00:33:48,253 Speaker 2: just living in the country, you are affected by everything 700 00:33:48,253 --> 00:33:50,573 Speaker 2: in the country, aren't you. Yep, so you're you are 701 00:33:50,573 --> 00:33:56,013 Speaker 2: going to vote within your your principles. And I mean, 702 00:33:56,093 --> 00:33:58,973 Speaker 2: is there anyone in Parliament that has zero self interest. 703 00:33:59,133 --> 00:34:02,133 Speaker 3: Yeah, good point, Dan, what do you reckon about this? 704 00:34:03,533 --> 00:34:09,933 Speaker 14: I've always enjoy your show.

So he's a trustee of 710 00:34:27,133 --> 00:34:29,053 Speaker 3: a family trust. So they've got a family home in 711 00:34:29,133 --> 00:34:34,533 Speaker 3: upper Huts that's jointly owned. They've got a Rumadi self 712 00:34:34,573 --> 00:34:37,853 Speaker 3: property and that's owned by a trust in. Both properties 713 00:34:37,853 --> 00:34:39,812 Speaker 3: have mortgages with WISPEC Bank. 714 00:34:39,933 --> 00:34:42,373 Speaker 2: Doesn't he have a bat?

He has, 722 00:34:57,173 --> 00:35:00,133 Speaker 2: and he's got this this new partner on the go. Yeah, 723 00:35:00,293 --> 00:35:04,693 Speaker 2: so it's just proposed, so he not speaking from an experience, 724 00:35:05,213 --> 00:35:09,573 Speaker 2: but speaking of experience, you can half your money pretty 725 00:35:09,573 --> 00:35:13,013 Speaker 2: easily when that happens. What's Tony brings on the table. Yeah, 726 00:35:13,093 --> 00:35:15,373 Speaker 2: so so what do you think about that, Dan, Where 727 00:35:15,413 --> 00:35:16,293 Speaker 2: Hopkins sits on the. 728 00:35:16,213 --> 00:35:19,853 Speaker 14: List, Well, it's he's a bloody hypocrite, you know.

It's Chris Knocks for the Insured Herald that's 736 00:35:41,093 --> 00:35:42,013 Speaker 2: put together this list. 737 00:35:43,093 --> 00:35:45,893 Speaker 14: No, no, no, no. What I'm playing is that he he'll 738 00:35:45,933 --> 00:35:48,733 Speaker 14: come out for sure and criticized Lucks and prehaddant. 739 00:35:49,693 --> 00:35:52,212 Speaker 2: Oh yeah he has. Yeah, it's that about a month 740 00:35:52,253 --> 00:35:54,453 Speaker 2: ago he did. Yeah, you're right, you're right, Dan. He 741 00:35:54,493 --> 00:35:57,772 Speaker 2: has been hitting him on on his wealth, yeah, which 742 00:35:57,813 --> 00:36:00,613 Speaker 2: is yeah, you know that only works for that only 743 00:36:00,613 --> 00:36:03,333 Speaker 2: works for his base. I guess there are certain people 744 00:36:03,333 --> 00:36:05,053 Speaker 2: in the place, but you know, there are you know, 745 00:36:05,093 --> 00:36:06,813 Speaker 2: I mean, Willie Jackson's got a lot of property there, 746 00:36:06,853 --> 00:36:09,013 Speaker 2: there are there are labor people that doing very well. 747 00:36:09,293 --> 00:36:11,413 Speaker 2: And you know Chris Hipkins, he's got a beach house 748 00:36:11,493 --> 00:36:15,013 Speaker 2: that's done pretty well exactly.

Economy is a myth, right, 853 00:41:11,493 --> 00:41:14,253 Speaker 3: let's get into this one. This will be an interesting conversation. 854 00:41:14,293 --> 00:41:17,213 Speaker 3: It's about abuse and this was after a Auckland councilor, 855 00:41:17,533 --> 00:41:20,413 Speaker 3: Julie Faery. She has spoken out about the abuse she's 856 00:41:20,493 --> 00:41:23,413 Speaker 3: faced in her several years in council, so one of 857 00:41:23,453 --> 00:41:26,053 Speaker 3: the things she quoted in the story was being a 858 00:41:26,133 --> 00:41:29,213 Speaker 3: communist scum that was something memorable for her, but it 859 00:41:29,213 --> 00:41:30,413 Speaker 3: also seems like a lot. 860 00:41:30,453 --> 00:41:32,893 Speaker 2: How did she cope with being called communist scum? That 861 00:41:32,973 --> 00:41:36,573 Speaker 2: must have boy, she would just spend three days in 862 00:41:36,613 --> 00:41:39,253 Speaker 2: the Burns unit. I mean that's pretty low level. Called 863 00:41:39,293 --> 00:41:42,533 Speaker 2: communist scum every thirty seconds. Yeah, yeah, and I'm not 864 00:41:42,613 --> 00:41:46,573 Speaker 2: being called a fascist. And it seems most elected members 865 00:41:46,573 --> 00:41:49,653 Speaker 2: at Auckland Council, and this is the same around councils 866 00:41:50,173 --> 00:41:54,253 Speaker 2: across New Zealand a facing similar so survey found eighty 867 00:41:54,253 --> 00:41:56,893 Speaker 2: one percent of being rastal bullied by members of the 868 00:41:56,933 --> 00:41:59,533 Speaker 2: public and council of Fairy went on to say she's 869 00:41:59,533 --> 00:42:03,173 Speaker 2: got several friends who would make great local government elected members, 870 00:42:03,173 --> 00:42:05,813 Speaker 2: but they've told her that they will not stand because 871 00:42:05,853 --> 00:42:09,733 Speaker 2: of fear of abuse. So I was at the refuse 872 00:42:09,893 --> 00:42:13,413 Speaker 2: transfer center and the concourse refused transfer center, and when 873 00:42:13,453 --> 00:42:17,093 Speaker 2: I was going through the you know the way thing, 874 00:42:17,093 --> 00:42:18,733 Speaker 2: there was this big sign. It had a picture of 875 00:42:18,733 --> 00:42:20,973 Speaker 2: a woman and it said all her achievements and then 876 00:42:21,053 --> 00:42:25,213 Speaker 2: at the end it said abused. It's an achievement. No, no, 877 00:42:25,813 --> 00:42:27,413 Speaker 2: it was trying to it was making her a person, 878 00:42:27,453 --> 00:42:29,533 Speaker 2: and that the last thing it said that she had 879 00:42:29,533 --> 00:42:32,853 Speaker 2: received abuse. Right, abuse is unacceptable and I was just thinking, 880 00:42:34,293 --> 00:42:36,413 Speaker 2: is that really does that really matter? 881 00:42:37,093 --> 00:42:37,173 Speaker 5: Like? 882 00:42:37,293 --> 00:42:42,133 Speaker 2: Am I this might be a philo philosophical discussion this hour, 883 00:42:42,973 --> 00:42:46,133 Speaker 2: But do we want the world should should people be 884 00:42:46,173 --> 00:42:49,253 Speaker 2: scared of abuse? I mean threats are one thing. Obviously, 885 00:42:50,133 --> 00:42:54,853 Speaker 2: the threats to your personal safety, family, anything like that. 886 00:42:54,853 --> 00:42:57,733 Speaker 2: That's a police issue, right, But isn't it better to 887 00:42:57,813 --> 00:43:01,333 Speaker 2: learn to deal with the abuse rather than expect to 888 00:43:01,373 --> 00:43:04,172 Speaker 2: live in a world where people never say anything mean 889 00:43:04,253 --> 00:43:06,173 Speaker 2: to you? Like you could spend all the money you 890 00:43:06,213 --> 00:43:10,893 Speaker 2: want counsel on these these campaigns to stop people abusing you, 891 00:43:12,093 --> 00:43:14,413 Speaker 2: but it will never make any difference because there's been 892 00:43:14,453 --> 00:43:18,573 Speaker 2: an abuse forever. Yeah, I mean people have been getting 893 00:43:18,613 --> 00:43:25,333 Speaker 2: offended forever. I mean look at the Bible. Alisha, you 894 00:43:25,373 --> 00:43:28,533 Speaker 2: know Alisha when he was he was accosted by juveniles 895 00:43:28,533 --> 00:43:30,893 Speaker 2: on his way up to Bethel, and they mocked his 896 00:43:30,973 --> 00:43:33,213 Speaker 2: lack of hair, yelling, go up, bald head, go up, 897 00:43:33,293 --> 00:43:37,693 Speaker 2: bald head. Poor Alicia. Well these kids got theirs because 898 00:43:37,733 --> 00:43:40,853 Speaker 2: the Alicia cursed the kids and the next day two 899 00:43:40,893 --> 00:43:43,093 Speaker 2: female beers came out of the forest and mauled forty 900 00:43:43,093 --> 00:43:46,333 Speaker 2: two of those juveniles. Yeah, it's actually more complicated that story. 901 00:43:46,373 --> 00:43:48,973 Speaker 2: What go up and bald head meant anyway, as often 902 00:43:49,013 --> 00:43:51,013 Speaker 2: things in the Bible are more complicated. But anyway, people 903 00:43:51,053 --> 00:43:54,373 Speaker 2: have been abused forever, and they will be abused forever. 904 00:43:54,933 --> 00:43:58,053 Speaker 2: That's that's the way of the universe. So and you know, 905 00:43:58,173 --> 00:44:00,533 Speaker 2: any percentage and the percentage of the population that are 906 00:44:00,573 --> 00:44:03,212 Speaker 2: just abusing, maybe let's just say I'm making up this number. 907 00:44:03,253 --> 00:44:06,413 Speaker 2: Five percent do a lot of abusing, unhinged, unhanged. Yeah, 908 00:44:06,773 --> 00:44:09,493 Speaker 2: so you're not going to go into politics because you 909 00:44:09,533 --> 00:44:11,453 Speaker 2: don't want to hear what the five percent have to say. 910 00:44:12,733 --> 00:44:15,013 Speaker 2: It seems like you should just learn to deal with that. 911 00:44:15,173 --> 00:44:18,253 Speaker 2: Do you you know, do you run away from politics 912 00:44:18,293 --> 00:44:21,533 Speaker 2: or do you harden yourself to abuse? Because there's always 913 00:44:21,533 --> 00:44:24,133 Speaker 2: been abuse, don't we want people in charge to be 914 00:44:24,173 --> 00:44:26,853 Speaker 2: the toughest among us who believe in doing the right 915 00:44:26,933 --> 00:44:30,652 Speaker 2: thing despite the slings and arrows, I mean, communists, scum. 916 00:44:31,013 --> 00:44:33,493 Speaker 2: You know, it's pretty low level that there have been 917 00:44:34,333 --> 00:44:36,573 Speaker 2: politicians that have had to risk their life for what 918 00:44:36,653 --> 00:44:38,613 Speaker 2: they believe it. But if you just getting a little 919 00:44:38,653 --> 00:44:42,453 Speaker 2: bit of abuse online, then I mean, I think we 920 00:44:42,533 --> 00:44:46,573 Speaker 2: need to teach children and teach members of society that 921 00:44:47,173 --> 00:44:50,173 Speaker 2: you know, there are ways to deal with abuse and 922 00:44:50,293 --> 00:44:51,773 Speaker 2: it is to be above it. 923 00:44:51,933 --> 00:44:54,732 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is different to what you're talking about here. 924 00:44:54,773 --> 00:44:57,253 Speaker 3: But does that to part of it come into it 925 00:44:57,253 --> 00:45:01,692 Speaker 3: that you remove yourself from where the abuse is happen 926 00:45:01,853 --> 00:45:04,773 Speaker 3: happening aka social media or does that defeat the purpose 927 00:45:04,813 --> 00:45:06,693 Speaker 3: because what you're saying is you're going to face abuse 928 00:45:06,693 --> 00:45:09,172 Speaker 3: in your life and you're going to face in and 929 00:45:09,213 --> 00:45:12,413 Speaker 3: you've got to tackle that head on. If it's not true, 930 00:45:12,813 --> 00:45:15,533 Speaker 3: then it doesn't really matter. If it is true then 931 00:45:15,613 --> 00:45:16,853 Speaker 3: and you wrote about this in your book. 932 00:45:17,053 --> 00:45:20,853 Speaker 2: Oh you're talking about this. Yeah, the stoic principle on 933 00:45:21,173 --> 00:45:23,413 Speaker 2: you know. I'll go into those things, but yeah, I 934 00:45:23,453 --> 00:45:26,493 Speaker 2: mean the basic thing. And as it's said by is 935 00:45:26,493 --> 00:45:31,773 Speaker 2: a guy called Enzulganger who's a great philosopher, a Dutch philosopher. Anyway, 936 00:45:31,813 --> 00:45:34,573 Speaker 2: he put it this way. Someone says something to you, 937 00:45:35,773 --> 00:45:39,813 Speaker 2: insert insult. Is it true? If yes, then it's not 938 00:45:39,853 --> 00:45:43,692 Speaker 2: an insult. Why be offended by it? If no, then 939 00:45:43,733 --> 00:45:45,893 Speaker 2: it's nonsense. So you just ask if it's true or not. 940 00:45:45,933 --> 00:45:49,453 Speaker 2: If it's true what they say. Someone calls you communist scum, 941 00:45:49,453 --> 00:45:52,933 Speaker 2: you go, am I communist scum? And if it's true, 942 00:45:53,053 --> 00:45:55,013 Speaker 2: then that's not an insult that's true and say thank 943 00:45:55,013 --> 00:45:56,813 Speaker 2: you very much, thank you very much for the information 944 00:45:57,173 --> 00:46:00,613 Speaker 2: on both communists and scum. But if it's not true, 945 00:46:00,813 --> 00:46:02,652 Speaker 2: then you go, well, this is nonsense. So how can 946 00:46:02,693 --> 00:46:05,613 Speaker 2: I possibly be offended by something that's not anything that's 947 00:46:05,613 --> 00:46:07,773 Speaker 2: not true? Right? So there's a very simple way to 948 00:46:07,773 --> 00:46:08,813 Speaker 2: put things through true, right. 949 00:46:09,493 --> 00:46:11,253 Speaker 3: I mean it's easy when you get called a fascist 950 00:46:11,253 --> 00:46:13,013 Speaker 3: and a communist at the same time. I mean, you 951 00:46:13,053 --> 00:46:14,933 Speaker 3: realize what both of those things are crazy and you're 952 00:46:14,933 --> 00:46:17,413 Speaker 3: an unhitched five percenter. But love to you your thoughts 953 00:46:17,413 --> 00:46:19,252 Speaker 3: on this. I we one hundred and eighty ten eighty. 954 00:46:19,293 --> 00:46:22,253 Speaker 3: When it comes to people in elected positions, is there 955 00:46:22,293 --> 00:46:25,413 Speaker 3: an element of thick skin that you need? And it's 956 00:46:25,453 --> 00:46:28,213 Speaker 3: confidence in yourself? Right, That's where it comes from. That 957 00:46:28,373 --> 00:46:31,413 Speaker 3: self confidence that I don't really care what's some nump 958 00:46:31,453 --> 00:46:34,413 Speaker 3: they I don't know says, because I know you know, 959 00:46:34,413 --> 00:46:36,093 Speaker 3: I'd never go to that person for advice. 960 00:46:36,253 --> 00:46:41,773 Speaker 2: You embrace all the opinions of the people in your constituents. 961 00:46:41,973 --> 00:46:44,053 Speaker 2: You embrace all their opinions, and then you go through 962 00:46:44,053 --> 00:46:46,693 Speaker 2: and you analyze them. If there's someone yelling abuse at you, 963 00:46:47,813 --> 00:46:50,373 Speaker 2: if it's not true, then you just put that aside. 964 00:46:50,493 --> 00:46:52,453 Speaker 2: But the idea that you would go into politics and 965 00:46:52,493 --> 00:46:56,573 Speaker 2: be shielded from what people say, that's a crazy idea. 966 00:46:56,653 --> 00:46:58,613 Speaker 2: And I just wonder if we're teaching people the wrong thing. 967 00:46:58,653 --> 00:47:01,053 Speaker 2: There's always that words of violent stuff that's been taught 968 00:47:01,093 --> 00:47:04,973 Speaker 2: to people, and I think we need to get back 969 00:47:05,013 --> 00:47:06,772 Speaker 2: to the sticks and stones will break my bones, words 970 00:47:06,813 --> 00:47:09,533 Speaker 2: will never hurt me thin, right, interesting idea? 971 00:47:09,653 --> 00:47:12,573 Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number 972 00:47:12,573 --> 00:47:14,333 Speaker 3: to call?

This 980 00:47:34,293 --> 00:47:38,413 Speaker 3: is from an Auckland elected councilor who said that she's 981 00:47:38,533 --> 00:47:42,573 Speaker 3: faced abuse her whole time in council several years, and 982 00:47:42,613 --> 00:47:44,253 Speaker 3: one of the ones that was memorable to her was 983 00:47:44,333 --> 00:47:45,333 Speaker 3: communist scum. 984 00:47:45,693 --> 00:47:47,533 Speaker 2: And she's saying that a bunch of people won't that 985 00:47:47,613 --> 00:47:49,453 Speaker 2: she knows won't go into politics because they're worried about 986 00:47:49,453 --> 00:47:51,613 Speaker 2: the abuse. Yeah, I think we need to change our 987 00:47:52,053 --> 00:47:55,533 Speaker 2: opinion and teach people to be able to deal with abuse, 988 00:47:55,653 --> 00:47:58,533 Speaker 2: rather than expecting the universe to change such that there's 989 00:47:58,533 --> 00:48:00,453 Speaker 2: no abuse, which has never been the case in the 990 00:48:00,493 --> 00:48:05,093 Speaker 2: history of human kind. Jeremy, welcome to the show. 991 00:48:06,493 --> 00:48:07,773 Speaker 6: How are you very good? 992 00:48:07,853 --> 00:48:10,293 Speaker 2: Thanks for call. 993 00:48:10,573 --> 00:48:14,133 Speaker 7: I quite enjoy getting a little bit of abuse. I've 994 00:48:14,173 --> 00:48:16,893 Speaker 7: been one of my first jobs working at a call seems, 995 00:48:17,093 --> 00:48:19,653 Speaker 7: and I was only one of the ones that quite 996 00:48:19,733 --> 00:48:23,013 Speaker 7: enjoyed taking those calls, or taking those calls off other people, 997 00:48:23,053 --> 00:48:28,533 Speaker 7: because there's something quite satisfying about your response and how 998 00:48:28,573 --> 00:48:33,133 Speaker 7: you respond to it in a way that's professional and 999 00:48:33,173 --> 00:48:35,533 Speaker 7: you're sort of upholding your integrity, but at the same 1000 00:48:35,573 --> 00:48:37,493 Speaker 7: time you're kind of not putting people in their place, 1001 00:48:37,573 --> 00:48:41,453 Speaker 7: but you're just you're it's the truth, and it's quite satisfying. 1002 00:48:41,493 --> 00:48:44,253 Speaker 7: It's the same on social media. I've recently be aborted 1003 00:48:46,133 --> 00:48:49,453 Speaker 7: what on doing on local board and instantly I got 1004 00:48:49,493 --> 00:48:55,813 Speaker 7: immediately abuse online from the usual no named anonymous member 1005 00:48:55,893 --> 00:48:59,373 Speaker 7: on social media. But like I say, it's quite satisfying 1006 00:48:59,373 --> 00:49:02,333 Speaker 7: when you can respond in a sort of professional But 1007 00:49:02,893 --> 00:49:04,733 Speaker 7: I don't know not Ssnami's not the right word, but 1008 00:49:04,853 --> 00:49:08,212 Speaker 7: sort of a way that's quite mission and you kind 1009 00:49:08,213 --> 00:49:09,733 Speaker 7: of I kind of get a kick out of it 1010 00:49:09,773 --> 00:49:12,213 Speaker 7: because you know that those people that are abusing you online, 1011 00:49:12,613 --> 00:49:16,973 Speaker 7: they're abusing you anonymously. They've got no grounds for any 1012 00:49:16,973 --> 00:49:19,093 Speaker 7: of the basis of what you're saying. It's just that 1013 00:49:19,573 --> 00:49:21,133 Speaker 7: you're always just going to get those people. But I 1014 00:49:21,173 --> 00:49:23,733 Speaker 7: can find it oddly satisfying responding to those people. 1015 00:49:24,453 --> 00:49:26,373 Speaker 2: I think it was Marcus Raleis. It was actually Marcus 1016 00:49:26,413 --> 00:49:29,013 Speaker 2: Rallis and Meditations. He wrote the best revenge is to 1017 00:49:29,053 --> 00:49:31,693 Speaker 2: not be like them. So if there's someone that's abusing 1018 00:49:31,733 --> 00:49:35,573 Speaker 2: you and you can be above them and smarter than 1019 00:49:35,613 --> 00:49:40,213 Speaker 2: them and more tolerant and everything that they're not, you 1020 00:49:40,293 --> 00:49:44,213 Speaker 2: actually a makes you feel better about yourself. But it 1021 00:49:44,253 --> 00:49:49,373 Speaker 2: also wins the argument because and it's very infuriating. It's 1022 00:49:49,453 --> 00:49:52,573 Speaker 2: hugely infuriating to be that the you know, they talk 1023 00:49:52,613 --> 00:49:55,293 Speaker 2: about the rock that isn't moved by the river. You're 1024 00:49:55,333 --> 00:49:58,413 Speaker 2: just sitting there being yourself, being professional, doing the right thing. 1025 00:49:58,733 --> 00:49:59,853 Speaker 2: There's no bed to come back. 1026 00:49:59,933 --> 00:50:04,453 Speaker 16: Jeremy one hundred percent agree. And like I say, there's 1027 00:50:04,493 --> 00:50:07,093 Speaker 16: something part of me that like's knowing what's happening on 1028 00:50:07,093 --> 00:50:10,172 Speaker 16: the other side, and then getting wound up by your 1029 00:50:10,253 --> 00:50:13,813 Speaker 16: professional response. I don't know, oddly satisfying, but you're always 1030 00:50:13,813 --> 00:50:16,013 Speaker 16: going to get it. There's always going to be those 1031 00:50:16,093 --> 00:50:19,333 Speaker 16: members on social media who post anonymously who are just 1032 00:50:19,373 --> 00:50:21,813 Speaker 16: going to pick it absolutely everything you say, and you've 1033 00:50:21,853 --> 00:50:23,652 Speaker 16: just got to take it. If you're entering into any 1034 00:50:23,733 --> 00:50:26,293 Speaker 16: kind of politics as water off a duchback, you've got 1035 00:50:26,333 --> 00:50:28,693 Speaker 16: to be integral and too in terms of yourself and 1036 00:50:28,733 --> 00:50:29,373 Speaker 16: what you believe. 1037 00:50:30,213 --> 00:50:32,212 Speaker 7: And I don't think there should stop anyone from doing 1038 00:50:32,253 --> 00:50:33,933 Speaker 7: anything like that, because those are the kind of people 1039 00:50:33,973 --> 00:50:35,933 Speaker 7: we need, and those kind of positions. 1040 00:50:35,973 --> 00:50:36,333 Speaker 5: We need. 1041 00:50:36,373 --> 00:50:39,573 Speaker 7: People that can wear a little bit of abuse. But 1042 00:50:40,173 --> 00:50:41,773 Speaker 7: at the end of the day, you're not there for 1043 00:50:41,853 --> 00:50:43,893 Speaker 7: the abuse. You're there to make a difference within your 1044 00:50:43,933 --> 00:50:46,973 Speaker 7: community or whatever it is you're doing. And that's just 1045 00:50:47,013 --> 00:50:47,773 Speaker 7: a little part of it. 1046 00:50:47,933 --> 00:50:49,573 Speaker 2: And it doesn't mean that the people that are abusing 1047 00:50:49,573 --> 00:50:51,893 Speaker 2: them aren't bad people. I mean, it's not sticking up 1048 00:50:51,893 --> 00:50:53,893 Speaker 2: for the people that are abusing them. They are They 1049 00:50:53,933 --> 00:50:57,013 Speaker 2: are the losers in the situation. They are the people 1050 00:50:57,013 --> 00:50:58,733 Speaker 2: that are screaming into the void. They are the people 1051 00:50:59,253 --> 00:51:03,853 Speaker 2: that are behaving poorly. But it's almost if you allow 1052 00:51:03,893 --> 00:51:06,333 Speaker 2: them to get to you, you're giving them more than 1053 00:51:06,373 --> 00:51:09,133 Speaker 2: they deserve. They want to take a piece off you, 1054 00:51:09,573 --> 00:51:12,053 Speaker 2: and you can you can. You know, as they say, 1055 00:51:12,133 --> 00:51:15,973 Speaker 2: you take offense, So you can choose not to take offense. 1056 00:51:16,053 --> 00:51:18,613 Speaker 2: You know you can. You can. Just if you have 1057 00:51:18,733 --> 00:51:21,853 Speaker 2: not taken offense, then you haven't been offended and you 1058 00:51:21,893 --> 00:51:24,253 Speaker 2: haven't given them the power over you. And that's what 1059 00:51:24,333 --> 00:51:26,293 Speaker 2: I often think. It's so you can walk around. There's 1060 00:51:26,333 --> 00:51:28,573 Speaker 2: there's there's this idea that you can walk around and 1061 00:51:28,613 --> 00:51:31,293 Speaker 2: you'd be really annoyed if you got kidnapped, right, you'd 1062 00:51:31,333 --> 00:51:32,893 Speaker 2: be like they'd be annoying if you got thrown in 1063 00:51:32,893 --> 00:51:35,293 Speaker 2: the back of a van and got kidnapped. Yep, that 1064 00:51:35,333 --> 00:51:38,133 Speaker 2: would suck. But yet we just walk around and hand 1065 00:51:38,173 --> 00:51:40,613 Speaker 2: over our mind to anyone that says something slightly nasty 1066 00:51:40,653 --> 00:51:42,253 Speaker 2: to us. Yeah, and then we spend the rest of 1067 00:51:42,293 --> 00:51:45,093 Speaker 2: the day, maybe sometimes even weeks, just angry about some 1068 00:51:45,213 --> 00:51:47,093 Speaker 2: insult that someone gave us, and we give them the 1069 00:51:47,093 --> 00:51:49,812 Speaker 2: time of day and we get stressed and we've handed 1070 00:51:49,853 --> 00:51:51,692 Speaker 2: over our mind. We've let someone kidnap our mind. 1071 00:51:53,413 --> 00:51:53,693 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1072 00:51:53,733 --> 00:51:56,293 Speaker 7: And I think the more you buy into that, and 1073 00:51:56,293 --> 00:51:59,453 Speaker 7: the more that you respond in a negative way. Like 1074 00:51:59,533 --> 00:52:01,453 Speaker 7: you say, it spurs the mind and it's not going 1075 00:52:01,493 --> 00:52:03,973 Speaker 7: to stop that behavior. And like I say, some of them, 1076 00:52:04,013 --> 00:52:04,333 Speaker 7: you just. 1077 00:52:04,373 --> 00:52:06,213 Speaker 5: Never stop that behavior. That is what it is. 1078 00:52:06,253 --> 00:52:08,333 Speaker 7: I'll always be that way. But I think if more 1079 00:52:08,373 --> 00:52:10,493 Speaker 7: people stand up for themselves and stand up for what 1080 00:52:10,573 --> 00:52:13,252 Speaker 7: they believe in and just speaks the truth, it's never 1081 00:52:13,293 --> 00:52:15,493 Speaker 7: going to be an issue. And maybe you'll stop some 1082 00:52:15,533 --> 00:52:17,813 Speaker 7: of that kind of behavior. Maybe you won't with a lot, 1083 00:52:17,893 --> 00:52:18,813 Speaker 7: but you might with some. 1084 00:52:19,213 --> 00:52:21,013 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you might with some, but then there'll be 1085 00:52:21,013 --> 00:52:23,212 Speaker 2: always other ones. I mean, that's the thing. That's that's 1086 00:52:23,253 --> 00:52:26,333 Speaker 2: the world we live in. You better to sort yourself 1087 00:52:26,333 --> 00:52:30,013 Speaker 2: out than expect the world to sort itself out for you. Yeah, hey, 1088 00:52:30,013 --> 00:52:31,813 Speaker 2: thank you so much for you call, Jeremy. I appreciate it. 1089 00:52:31,853 --> 00:52:34,213 Speaker 3: I mean I've always loved I think maybe it's slightly different, 1090 00:52:34,253 --> 00:52:36,573 Speaker 3: but the kill them with kindness attitude, which is, you know, 1091 00:52:36,693 --> 00:52:39,773 Speaker 3: staying above it. I've always liked that, but sometimes it 1092 00:52:39,853 --> 00:52:42,213 Speaker 3: is hard to do, depending on who's who's thrown out 1093 00:52:42,253 --> 00:52:44,853 Speaker 3: the insults. Sometimes if it's out in public or someone 1094 00:52:44,893 --> 00:52:47,133 Speaker 3: cuts me off, I let my. 1095 00:52:47,133 --> 00:52:47,893 Speaker 2: Anger take over. 1096 00:52:48,093 --> 00:52:50,613 Speaker 3: But I think if I can kill kill them with 1097 00:52:50,693 --> 00:52:53,652 Speaker 3: kindness and stay above them. There is like Jeremy said, 1098 00:52:53,653 --> 00:52:54,333 Speaker 3: it's a nice feeling. 1099 00:52:55,213 --> 00:52:58,973 Speaker 2: Best response to abuse was Chloe Swarbrick when her billboard 1100 00:52:58,973 --> 00:53:02,093 Speaker 2: was to face with woke Lesbo. Her response was just 1101 00:53:02,853 --> 00:53:06,053 Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, now that's a great response. It took 1102 00:53:06,053 --> 00:53:08,333 Speaker 2: to burn away. Yeah, yeah, well done. Gold. 1103 00:53:09,293 --> 00:53:12,013 Speaker 3: Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call? 1104 00:53:12,373 --> 00:53:15,253 Speaker 3: Do we need politicians with some thicker skin in dealing 1105 00:53:15,293 --> 00:53:16,732 Speaker 3: with some of the abuse that they have. 1106 00:53:17,053 --> 00:53:20,013 Speaker 2: And just generally across the board, do we need to reset? 1107 00:53:20,133 --> 00:53:23,373 Speaker 2: I feel like we have moved into a time in 1108 00:53:23,453 --> 00:53:27,172 Speaker 2: the general thinking across New Zealand society where if you 1109 00:53:27,173 --> 00:53:30,973 Speaker 2: are abused, you get upset about it and it wounds 1110 00:53:31,013 --> 00:53:34,533 Speaker 2: you deeply.

And I mean, 1176 00:56:55,933 --> 00:56:59,453 Speaker 17: I like helping people. But those days in farming, or 1177 00:56:59,493 --> 00:57:02,652 Speaker 17: even now, you you grew up and you you were 1178 00:57:02,733 --> 00:57:05,333 Speaker 17: hard minded. I think they were all too soft minded 1179 00:57:05,413 --> 00:57:08,133 Speaker 17: these days to be to let that sort of stuff 1180 00:57:09,453 --> 00:57:12,493 Speaker 17: most of the abuse would they'd never have enough guts 1181 00:57:12,533 --> 00:57:13,693 Speaker 17: to say it to your face. 1182 00:57:15,133 --> 00:57:19,333 Speaker 2: Yeah, And do you think that maybe that the way 1183 00:57:19,333 --> 00:57:21,853 Speaker 2: we're being taught now, and young people are being taught, 1184 00:57:21,893 --> 00:57:25,693 Speaker 2: and their discourse in public, saying that abuse is so 1185 00:57:25,813 --> 00:57:32,253 Speaker 2: bad kind of gives power to the abuser because you're 1186 00:57:32,293 --> 00:57:35,693 Speaker 2: saying that that it does injure people. Where was I 1187 00:57:35,773 --> 00:57:39,973 Speaker 2: say that the message to be the abuse is a loser. 1188 00:57:40,013 --> 00:57:41,053 Speaker 2: I don't care. Let's move on. 1189 00:57:42,613 --> 00:57:45,613 Speaker 17: You know there was there was something in our in 1190 00:57:45,693 --> 00:57:49,613 Speaker 17: our in our older people, and when we were younger, 1191 00:57:49,653 --> 00:57:50,373 Speaker 17: you know, sticks and. 1192 00:57:50,413 --> 00:57:51,893 Speaker 12: Stones would break your bones. 1193 00:57:53,053 --> 00:57:56,373 Speaker 17: That's saying was to teach you to harden up, so 1194 00:57:56,453 --> 00:58:01,093 Speaker 17: you don't react to the person who's you know, throwing 1195 00:58:01,133 --> 00:58:06,693 Speaker 17: a stick in the bone, you know, And it's the 1196 00:58:06,893 --> 00:58:08,093 Speaker 17: I'm saying less, there's more. 1197 00:58:08,413 --> 00:58:11,133 Speaker 12: You don't react, that's your best response. 1198 00:58:11,293 --> 00:58:11,693 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1199 00:58:11,773 --> 00:58:13,813 Speaker 3: Now, I don't know if you ever faced this, Alane, 1200 00:58:13,853 --> 00:58:17,053 Speaker 3: but a lot of people do imposter syndrome, and you know, 1201 00:58:17,093 --> 00:58:18,813 Speaker 3: it's kind of the hidden thing that some people are 1202 00:58:18,813 --> 00:58:20,813 Speaker 3: starting to talk about now. But that's hard, right if 1203 00:58:20,853 --> 00:58:23,093 Speaker 3: you you're a first time counselor and you face that 1204 00:58:23,133 --> 00:58:25,293 Speaker 3: imposter syndrome that a lot of a lot of us face, 1205 00:58:25,573 --> 00:58:28,933 Speaker 3: and then you get that abuse and to your point, Matt, 1206 00:58:29,133 --> 00:58:31,213 Speaker 3: if it's not true, don't buy into it. If it 1207 00:58:31,293 --> 00:58:33,853 Speaker 3: is true, thank them. But a lot of people facing 1208 00:58:33,893 --> 00:58:36,533 Speaker 3: imposter syndrome wouldn't know whether it's true, and they get 1209 00:58:36,613 --> 00:58:39,453 Speaker 3: enough of it and start to dealt themselves. So that 1210 00:58:39,613 --> 00:58:42,493 Speaker 3: can be a difficult thing in public life. I imagine 1211 00:58:42,493 --> 00:58:43,533 Speaker 3: a lane to try and fight that. 1212 00:58:45,213 --> 00:58:52,293 Speaker 17: Ah, well, what's that saying again? If you can't stand 1213 00:58:52,333 --> 00:58:53,613 Speaker 17: the heat, get out of the kitchen. 1214 00:58:53,813 --> 00:58:56,973 Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough to do. And you should. You should 1215 00:58:57,013 --> 00:58:59,173 Speaker 2: be doubting yourself and questioning yourself all the time. So 1216 00:58:59,213 --> 00:59:01,733 Speaker 2: if someone's seeing something through then you should question it 1217 00:59:01,773 --> 00:59:04,293 Speaker 2: and see if there's any logic. And you know, as 1218 00:59:04,293 --> 00:59:05,413 Speaker 2: a leader, I would say. 1219 00:59:06,213 --> 00:59:06,933 Speaker 12: It was regular. 1220 00:59:07,053 --> 00:59:10,973 Speaker 17: Yeah, it was regular. But over that period of time 1221 00:59:13,173 --> 00:59:15,053 Speaker 17: you'll post somebody off. 1222 00:59:16,653 --> 00:59:19,413 Speaker 2: Yeah, that is very true because the first. 1223 00:59:19,573 --> 00:59:22,933 Speaker 17: The first thing that I that I that really hit 1224 00:59:23,013 --> 00:59:26,533 Speaker 17: home in the first six months or so, you are 1225 00:59:26,613 --> 00:59:32,413 Speaker 17: making decisions that affect other people's lives. Yes, yes, and 1226 00:59:32,773 --> 00:59:37,133 Speaker 17: I took that my role seriously, but I didn't let 1227 00:59:37,293 --> 00:59:41,773 Speaker 17: those sort of other comments get you know.

He said that there's 1288 01:02:52,533 --> 01:02:54,973 Speaker 2: a lot of talk these days about people being offended 1289 01:02:55,413 --> 01:02:59,053 Speaker 2: and people taking offense. And he said being offended is 1290 01:02:59,053 --> 01:03:01,253 Speaker 2: actually nothing more than a whine. It has no meaning, 1291 01:03:01,253 --> 01:03:02,973 Speaker 2: it has no purpose, it is no reason to be 1292 01:03:03,013 --> 01:03:05,573 Speaker 2: respected as a phrase. I'm offended by that. Well, so 1293 01:03:05,733 --> 01:03:09,093 Speaker 2: effing what. He's a brilliant man. Even that's the idea 1294 01:03:09,133 --> 01:03:12,213 Speaker 2: that you take offense. This text says, totally agree. Instead 1295 01:03:12,213 --> 01:03:14,573 Speaker 2: of teaching our kids that words only mean something if 1296 01:03:14,613 --> 01:03:17,133 Speaker 2: you let them. But now, words can damage us, I mean, 1297 01:03:17,453 --> 01:03:20,253 Speaker 2: not looking forward that we are heading for what we're 1298 01:03:20,293 --> 01:03:22,013 Speaker 2: heading for with us saying the ones that learn not 1299 01:03:22,053 --> 01:03:24,533 Speaker 2: to worry about words will rule the world. I think 1300 01:03:24,533 --> 01:03:27,413 Speaker 2: they already do absolutely. I mean, if you tail kids 1301 01:03:27,493 --> 01:03:30,693 Speaker 2: that words can hurt you, then words will hurt them. 1302 01:03:31,013 --> 01:03:34,213 Speaker 2: But if you teach them ways to deal with insults, 1303 01:03:34,853 --> 01:03:37,733 Speaker 2: then then they will be They'll do a lot better 1304 01:03:37,733 --> 01:03:40,853 Speaker 2: in life. Because if people can just hurt you with words. 1305 01:03:41,773 --> 01:03:46,293 Speaker 2: It's like June, It's like Mahadeba. His name will be 1306 01:03:46,333 --> 01:03:49,253 Speaker 2: a killing word if you give words that kind of power. 1307 01:03:49,293 --> 01:03:51,173 Speaker 2: I mean, it's very easy to throw words out, especially 1308 01:03:51,253 --> 01:03:54,933 Speaker 2: on the Internet anonymously. So in this you and you 1309 01:03:54,933 --> 01:03:58,653 Speaker 2: will never get the world free of insults. You'll never 1310 01:03:58,693 --> 01:04:00,693 Speaker 2: go through your life without people saying something mean to you, 1311 01:04:00,933 --> 01:04:02,933 Speaker 2: gossiping about you, just in your friends group, on the 1312 01:04:02,933 --> 01:04:05,733 Speaker 2: internet anywhere, let alone when you go into government. 1313 01:04:05,813 --> 01:04:05,933 Speaker 5: Right. 1314 01:04:06,093 --> 01:04:09,373 Speaker 2: Yeah, so, well you're going to train the entire universe 1315 01:04:09,453 --> 01:04:11,653 Speaker 2: just for yourself because you can't handle it. Yeah, it's 1316 01:04:11,693 --> 01:04:12,173 Speaker 2: a good point. 1317 01:04:12,333 --> 01:04:15,293 Speaker 3: Uh, Kathy, you want to have a chat about how 1318 01:04:15,333 --> 01:04:16,253 Speaker 3: you used to handle it. 1319 01:04:17,933 --> 01:04:20,213 Speaker 18: Yeah, well, listen, when I was a kid, while I 1320 01:04:20,293 --> 01:04:22,533 Speaker 18: was listening to Elaine, I realized that she was saying 1321 01:04:22,693 --> 01:04:25,013 Speaker 18: some of the same stuff. When I was a kid, 1322 01:04:25,093 --> 01:04:28,213 Speaker 18: we were taught, as she said, fix and stones will 1323 01:04:28,213 --> 01:04:30,773 Speaker 18: break your phones, but names will never harm you. And 1324 01:04:30,853 --> 01:04:34,173 Speaker 18: so if somebody offended me, it was an immediate thing 1325 01:04:34,213 --> 01:04:35,853 Speaker 18: in those days. You know, it was one kid or 1326 01:04:35,853 --> 01:04:38,493 Speaker 18: a group of kids saying something mean. And you don't 1327 01:04:38,733 --> 01:04:40,973 Speaker 18: sticks and stones and break my phones, but names will 1328 01:04:40,973 --> 01:04:43,093 Speaker 18: never harm me. Walk away. 1329 01:04:43,333 --> 01:04:43,613 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1330 01:04:44,453 --> 01:04:49,373 Speaker 18: Nowadays. Nowadays what happens is a lots of especial young people, 1331 01:04:49,453 --> 01:04:53,573 Speaker 18: the politicians. Also everybody will get an insult on the 1332 01:04:53,653 --> 01:04:58,013 Speaker 18: internet and it stays there forever. It just stays there. 1333 01:04:58,293 --> 01:05:01,173 Speaker 18: And you can't be sitting sitting there typing, typing, typing 1334 01:05:01,213 --> 01:05:05,933 Speaker 18: sticks and stones, sticks and stones, you know, So there 1335 01:05:05,973 --> 01:05:08,173 Speaker 18: isn't that kind of defense. It has to be internal 1336 01:05:08,173 --> 01:05:11,893 Speaker 18: lif And I also want to say something, and I 1337 01:05:11,893 --> 01:05:14,093 Speaker 18: hope this is okay, because when I told this story 1338 01:05:14,133 --> 01:05:17,253 Speaker 18: to other people, that's been a kind of reaction. 1339 01:05:17,453 --> 01:05:21,173 Speaker 2: So bear with Okay, sounds good, Okay. 1340 01:05:21,253 --> 01:05:24,133 Speaker 18: Many years ago, there was I can't remember his name, 1341 01:05:24,173 --> 01:05:27,693 Speaker 18: but there was a very famous beat next poet who 1342 01:05:28,013 --> 01:05:31,413 Speaker 18: got up to a microphone. I'm American. He got up 1343 01:05:31,453 --> 01:05:35,053 Speaker 18: to a microphone at a reading one. 1344 01:05:36,053 --> 01:05:39,053 Speaker 3: Thank you very much there, Katney. I think we've just 1345 01:05:39,213 --> 01:05:41,813 Speaker 3: lost Kathy, but thank you very much for your phone call. 1346 01:05:42,693 --> 01:05:45,253 Speaker 3: One hundred eighty eight is that number to call? Nine 1347 01:05:45,333 --> 01:05:47,213 Speaker 3: two ninety two is the tech. 1348 01:05:49,453 --> 01:05:52,733 Speaker 2: When when the victim is part of a cohort regularly 1349 01:05:52,733 --> 01:05:55,693 Speaker 2: subjected to insult, it is simply wrong to state that 1350 01:05:55,733 --> 01:05:59,293 Speaker 2: they should harden up such rhetoricas old and outdated and 1351 01:05:59,333 --> 01:06:02,213 Speaker 2: the humous race aspires and the main to be advanced 1352 01:06:02,253 --> 01:06:05,373 Speaker 2: not considered abuse anything that stems from it in any 1353 01:06:05,413 --> 01:06:10,333 Speaker 2: arena or cohert to be dealt with. See, I think 1354 01:06:10,333 --> 01:06:13,493 Speaker 2: that is ridiculous. When the victim is part of a 1355 01:06:13,493 --> 01:06:16,453 Speaker 2: cohort regularly subjected to an insult, is simply wrong to 1356 01:06:16,493 --> 01:06:19,533 Speaker 2: state they should harden up. But else what is the 1357 01:06:19,573 --> 01:06:22,173 Speaker 2: other option? Is just to be injured by everything that 1358 01:06:22,213 --> 01:06:23,093 Speaker 2: anyone ever says? 1359 01:06:23,653 --> 01:06:27,213 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, the more I think about this discussion, 1360 01:06:27,293 --> 01:06:31,653 Speaker 3: and you're right logically, and I know that, but the 1361 01:06:31,693 --> 01:06:34,533 Speaker 3: whole thing about backing your judgment, and I do that now, 1362 01:06:34,813 --> 01:06:35,933 Speaker 3: but I didn't used to. 1363 01:06:35,973 --> 01:06:36,493 Speaker 2: As a kid. 1364 01:06:37,013 --> 01:06:39,533 Speaker 3: I needed some reassurance from people around me, and I 1365 01:06:39,573 --> 01:06:42,413 Speaker 3: got that from some family members, but then when friends 1366 01:06:42,453 --> 01:06:45,173 Speaker 3: would doubt me, and then that would get stuck in 1367 01:06:45,173 --> 01:06:46,653 Speaker 3: my head. So it was a wee bit of time 1368 01:06:46,693 --> 01:06:49,373 Speaker 3: before I'd had the self confidence and belief in my 1369 01:06:49,413 --> 01:06:52,453 Speaker 3: own convictions. But I know a lot of people still 1370 01:06:52,493 --> 01:06:55,453 Speaker 3: have that self doubt and whether I can do that, 1371 01:06:55,493 --> 01:06:58,533 Speaker 3: and you still need support around you. But it's the 1372 01:06:58,613 --> 01:07:01,373 Speaker 3: judgment and the insults you trust, right. 1373 01:07:01,293 --> 01:07:04,893 Speaker 2: But that's part of becoming an adult, right, So you know, like, 1374 01:07:04,933 --> 01:07:06,853 Speaker 2: if a kid's bullying another kid, then you need to 1375 01:07:06,893 --> 01:07:09,733 Speaker 2: do something about it. As a teacher, yeah, absolutely, and 1376 01:07:09,773 --> 01:07:12,893 Speaker 2: as a parent and all that kind of stuff. But 1377 01:07:13,013 --> 01:07:17,773 Speaker 2: you're going through life learning the techniques to be an adult. 1378 01:07:18,093 --> 01:07:20,213 Speaker 2: And one of the techniques of being an adult, to 1379 01:07:20,253 --> 01:07:22,613 Speaker 2: be a fully realized and competent adult, is to be 1380 01:07:22,653 --> 01:07:25,773 Speaker 2: able to deal with some of the abuse you're going 1381 01:07:25,773 --> 01:07:27,333 Speaker 2: to get. You're going to get it on the roads, 1382 01:07:27,653 --> 01:07:28,973 Speaker 2: You're going to get it on the internet, if you 1383 01:07:29,053 --> 01:07:31,853 Speaker 2: choose to be on social media, you're if you go 1384 01:07:31,933 --> 01:07:34,653 Speaker 2: into public life. The idea that you could go into 1385 01:07:34,653 --> 01:07:37,413 Speaker 2: public life and some of your constituents aren't going to 1386 01:07:37,453 --> 01:07:40,053 Speaker 2: say something nasty to you, considering at least five percent 1387 01:07:40,093 --> 01:07:44,013 Speaker 2: of them are insane as crazy. So when you're little, 1388 01:07:44,173 --> 01:07:47,693 Speaker 2: absolutely it'll hurt. But then that's why you don't teach 1389 01:07:47,733 --> 01:07:51,253 Speaker 2: them that those words do hurt you. You teach them 1390 01:07:51,293 --> 01:07:53,013 Speaker 2: how to deal with them. And there are some very 1391 01:07:53,013 --> 01:07:54,573 Speaker 2: basic ways that you can do that. 1392 01:07:55,493 --> 01:07:57,333 Speaker 3: I get your point about elected members or in fact, 1393 01:07:57,413 --> 01:07:59,213 Speaker 3: anyone who's in the public eye. 1394 01:07:59,373 --> 01:08:00,973 Speaker 2: You've got to prepare yourself for that. 1395 01:08:01,453 --> 01:08:04,253 Speaker 3: And I'm being you know, I'm talking about myself here, 1396 01:08:04,253 --> 01:08:06,733 Speaker 3: But when you jump into this text machine and we 1397 01:08:06,773 --> 01:08:09,253 Speaker 3: deal with it on a daily basis and learn that 1398 01:08:09,693 --> 01:08:11,733 Speaker 3: five percent are just a little bit nutty, and you 1399 01:08:11,733 --> 01:08:13,413 Speaker 3: have a We laugh about some of the things that 1400 01:08:13,413 --> 01:08:16,053 Speaker 3: they say, but you're quite right. Anyone who gets into 1401 01:08:16,333 --> 01:08:18,572 Speaker 3: to wanting to become a politician, that is part and 1402 01:08:18,613 --> 01:08:19,452 Speaker 3: parcel of the job. 1403 01:08:19,572 --> 01:08:21,293 Speaker 2: Well, this text says one hundred percent agree that we 1404 01:08:21,333 --> 01:08:22,812 Speaker 2: all need to harden up a bit, but we also 1405 01:08:22,813 --> 01:08:25,492 Speaker 2: should not normalize people being allowed or encouraged to abuse 1406 01:08:25,492 --> 01:08:27,372 Speaker 2: people as much as they like, because we all need 1407 01:08:27,412 --> 01:08:30,732 Speaker 2: to harden up either. Well, see that, I would agree, 1408 01:08:30,812 --> 01:08:34,213 Speaker 2: But the thing is that the person that's abusing you 1409 01:08:34,692 --> 01:08:38,133 Speaker 2: is the loser in this situation. Just because you harden 1410 01:08:38,253 --> 01:08:40,092 Speaker 2: up doesn't make them the good person, or them bright 1411 01:08:40,213 --> 01:08:43,013 Speaker 2: or what they're doing. Okay, It just means that they 1412 01:08:43,013 --> 01:08:46,572 Speaker 2: can't affect you. And if you're allowing someone that's abusing 1413 01:08:46,612 --> 01:08:50,252 Speaker 2: you to affect you and take you down just with words, 1414 01:08:50,692 --> 01:08:53,612 Speaker 2: you know, they're not physically attacking you, they're not kidnapping you, 1415 01:08:53,732 --> 01:08:55,652 Speaker 2: but they're taking down with words, then you're giving them 1416 01:08:55,652 --> 01:09:00,052 Speaker 2: a power that they don't deserve. So, in my thinking, 1417 01:09:01,372 --> 01:09:06,372 Speaker 2: the hardening yourself to abuse is actually lowering the person 1418 01:09:06,412 --> 01:09:09,253 Speaker 2: to abuse you. It's taking something away from them. It's 1419 01:09:09,293 --> 01:09:12,053 Speaker 2: making the empathetic and you strong. It's a lot of 1420 01:09:12,133 --> 01:09:12,652 Speaker 2: logic in it. 1421 01:09:12,812 --> 01:09:15,213 Speaker 3: Yes, right, oh, one hundred and eighty ten eighty is 1422 01:09:15,253 --> 01:09:16,372 Speaker 3: that number to call? 1423 01:09:16,532 --> 01:09:20,612 Speaker 2: It is sixteen to three.

Okay, this is from from a 1434 01:09:47,812 --> 01:09:50,213 Speaker 2: philosophical point of view. It'll be a good piece because 1435 01:09:50,213 --> 01:09:51,492 Speaker 2: it's something that I've worked on a lot in my 1436 01:09:51,532 --> 01:09:53,213 Speaker 2: life when I wrote about it heavily in my book, 1437 01:09:53,853 --> 01:09:58,172 Speaker 2: my book on Being Off the Chat Run Being Offended. 1438 01:09:58,612 --> 01:10:00,133 Speaker 2: So I've done a bit of research on it. You 1439 01:10:00,133 --> 01:10:04,172 Speaker 2: know it's going to be good. Chris, how are you boys? 1440 01:10:04,973 --> 01:10:08,093 Speaker 19: I love the tough enough approach about when it comes 1441 01:10:08,133 --> 01:10:14,612 Speaker 19: to you know, people, I've given you crack. If you 1442 01:10:14,732 --> 01:10:17,053 Speaker 19: allow the words of other people that mean nothing to 1443 01:10:17,213 --> 01:10:22,772 Speaker 19: you to like to get to you go to a 1444 01:10:22,853 --> 01:10:27,733 Speaker 19: mental strengthen and coach to do something about that, because 1445 01:10:27,812 --> 01:10:31,133 Speaker 19: people are always going to do that to, especially politicians 1446 01:10:31,213 --> 01:10:34,492 Speaker 19: or people in office. But if you're going to get 1447 01:10:34,492 --> 01:10:39,532 Speaker 19: that job over it, you should expect that anyway. Like wakey, wakey. 1448 01:10:41,692 --> 01:10:44,452 Speaker 19: If anyone ever has a crack at me and it's 1449 01:10:44,612 --> 01:10:47,333 Speaker 19: right and it's a good crack, I'll say, well done, 1450 01:10:47,612 --> 01:10:52,253 Speaker 19: good point. Otherwise, altern around it's for a bad reason 1451 01:10:52,812 --> 01:10:56,772 Speaker 19: and it's not necessarily correct, I'll say, hey, your words 1452 01:10:56,772 --> 01:11:01,772 Speaker 19: are very important, please keep talking. That shuts them up 1453 01:11:01,812 --> 01:11:03,852 Speaker 19: real quick because they know that I don't care and 1454 01:11:03,933 --> 01:11:07,572 Speaker 19: I'm listening to it, you know, especially the old boys 1455 01:11:07,612 --> 01:11:09,492 Speaker 19: at the pub on you know when I was. It's 1456 01:11:09,492 --> 01:11:13,492 Speaker 19: a matter, you know, So you just put everybody back 1457 01:11:13,492 --> 01:11:16,692 Speaker 19: in their place. And the only people that'll ever take 1458 01:11:16,732 --> 01:11:19,852 Speaker 19: crap from are actually my family or my wife's family 1459 01:11:20,213 --> 01:11:23,053 Speaker 19: if they've got a genuine point to make. Yeah that 1460 01:11:23,133 --> 01:11:25,812 Speaker 19: I have to go through this. But like it's all 1461 01:11:25,853 --> 01:11:28,213 Speaker 19: about listening to the people that are important to you 1462 01:11:29,013 --> 01:11:31,452 Speaker 19: and not the ones that aren't. So if you go 1463 01:11:31,572 --> 01:11:34,972 Speaker 19: into a political office and go, oh, someone said bad words, 1464 01:11:35,173 --> 01:11:37,412 Speaker 19: you're even the wrong job. Get out of there. 1465 01:11:37,812 --> 01:11:41,412 Speaker 2: Yeah, and so, but do you think that we're normalizing 1466 01:11:41,452 --> 01:11:44,652 Speaker 2: the idea that people should hide from abuse and not 1467 01:11:44,732 --> 01:11:46,333 Speaker 2: do what they want to do just in case they 1468 01:11:46,372 --> 01:11:51,053 Speaker 2: get abused because you go christ sorry, now you. 1469 01:11:51,013 --> 01:11:54,692 Speaker 19: Go yeah, sorry to interrupt, I reckon, Just give it 1470 01:11:54,732 --> 01:11:56,333 Speaker 19: back to them and go what. 1471 01:11:56,253 --> 01:11:57,213 Speaker 6: Do you do for a job? 1472 01:11:57,933 --> 01:12:01,133 Speaker 19: How why are you writing this email to me at 1473 01:12:01,133 --> 01:12:03,492 Speaker 19: ten point fifteen when you should be at work. Get 1474 01:12:03,492 --> 01:12:08,012 Speaker 19: a job and contribute to New Zealand control, like that's. 1475 01:12:07,853 --> 01:12:08,293 Speaker 5: All you are. 1476 01:12:08,652 --> 01:12:13,412 Speaker 19: If you're only achievements in humanity times that other country 1477 01:12:13,412 --> 01:12:15,293 Speaker 19: could save some money if you're not here, I'll. 1478 01:12:15,133 --> 01:12:17,452 Speaker 2: Tell you what. Another thing that's really powerful is silence. 1479 01:12:18,893 --> 01:12:21,572 Speaker 2: If someone abuses you, however it is, and then you 1480 01:12:21,652 --> 01:12:23,933 Speaker 2: just don't respond for as long as even if you 1481 01:12:23,973 --> 01:12:26,932 Speaker 2: count to seven before you say something back, and then 1482 01:12:26,933 --> 01:12:28,652 Speaker 2: they just have to steal in their own juices of 1483 01:12:28,692 --> 01:12:32,133 Speaker 2: what they said, or then you repeat back to them 1484 01:12:32,133 --> 01:12:35,772 Speaker 2: what they've said. So I am. So you wait seven 1485 01:12:35,812 --> 01:12:38,012 Speaker 2: seconds and repeat what they've said back to them that's 1486 01:12:38,053 --> 01:12:40,612 Speaker 2: a very powerful way because they just have to deal 1487 01:12:40,692 --> 01:12:43,333 Speaker 2: with what they've said and who they are. And so 1488 01:12:43,452 --> 01:12:46,293 Speaker 2: sometimes I mean, I agree with it, Chris, and potentially 1489 01:12:46,333 --> 01:12:48,012 Speaker 2: you just maybe need to think that in your mind, 1490 01:12:48,053 --> 01:12:50,093 Speaker 2: who are you at ten to fifty? But sometimes people 1491 01:12:50,133 --> 01:12:52,133 Speaker 2: are just abusing you because they're screaming into the void 1492 01:12:52,133 --> 01:12:55,253 Speaker 2: and they want a response from someone. They just desperately 1493 01:12:55,333 --> 01:12:57,732 Speaker 2: want to take a piece off someone more powerful than them. 1494 01:12:58,053 --> 01:13:01,173 Speaker 2: They just want to be heard, and so sometimes you 1495 01:13:01,293 --> 01:13:03,213 Speaker 2: just throw a fuel on the fire. Sometimes it's better 1496 01:13:03,253 --> 01:13:05,492 Speaker 2: just to let them scream into the void and leave 1497 01:13:05,532 --> 01:13:07,572 Speaker 2: them alone. Hey, thank you so much for your call, Chris. 1498 01:13:07,572 --> 01:13:10,932 Speaker 3: I really appreciate a couple of texts before we've got 1499 01:13:10,933 --> 01:13:12,173 Speaker 3: to play some messages. 1500 01:13:12,772 --> 01:13:15,532 Speaker 2: Hi, guys. I'm a district councilor in the Lower North Island. 1501 01:13:15,612 --> 01:13:17,572 Speaker 2: I've always taken the view that I am fear game 1502 01:13:17,612 --> 01:13:19,732 Speaker 2: and people can say what they wanted public or online. 1503 01:13:19,772 --> 01:13:21,812 Speaker 2: I never let it bother me and give us back 1504 01:13:21,893 --> 01:13:23,372 Speaker 2: as good as I get. The only time I have 1505 01:13:23,412 --> 01:13:26,732 Speaker 2: been upset by words was when someone referred reference my 1506 01:13:26,812 --> 01:13:29,412 Speaker 2: young kids being abducted from their school and then that 1507 01:13:29,612 --> 01:13:32,973 Speaker 2: I would take notices polishans, politicians are fear game, their 1508 01:13:33,013 --> 01:13:35,053 Speaker 2: families are not. Yeah, I mean that's a different thing. 1509 01:13:35,053 --> 01:13:36,652 Speaker 2: We're talking about a view. So if someone if someone 1510 01:13:36,652 --> 01:13:39,052 Speaker 2: threatens your family or threatens you, then that's a matter, 1511 01:13:39,412 --> 01:13:41,852 Speaker 2: and that's credible. Then that's a matter for the police. 1512 01:13:41,893 --> 01:13:46,173 Speaker 2: That's a criminal matter, and that that's there's recourse for that. 1513 01:13:46,213 --> 01:13:49,412 Speaker 2: You've got it. If someone threatens you bodily, you got 1514 01:13:49,412 --> 01:13:51,892 Speaker 2: to go to the cops. Yeah, very different. Right. It 1515 01:13:52,053 --> 01:13:55,012 Speaker 2: is eight minutes to three when we come back. 1516 01:13:55,253 --> 01:13:57,932 Speaker 3: But of a PSA. But a few strategies that Matt's 1517 01:13:57,973 --> 01:14:01,772 Speaker 3: compiled on what you should do when someone abuses you. 1518 01:14:01,853 --> 01:14:02,532 Speaker 3: That's coming up. 1519 01:14:03,173 --> 01:14:09,852 Speaker 2: Punishing from Heath, abuse me for it. 1520 01:14:07,893 --> 01:14:10,372 Speaker 1: The issue that affect you, and a bit of fun 1521 01:14:10,412 --> 01:14:14,293 Speaker 1: along the way, Matt Heath and Taylor Adams afternoons news talks. 1522 01:14:14,333 --> 01:14:14,692 Speaker 5: That'd be. 1523 01:14:16,612 --> 01:14:19,773 Speaker 3: Very good afternoon to you. It is five to three. 1524 01:14:20,053 --> 01:14:24,053 Speaker 2: Okay, So look, we can control our this is what 1525 01:14:24,093 --> 01:14:25,973 Speaker 2: stoics believe. I'm a big fan of their stoics. We 1526 01:14:26,053 --> 01:14:29,092 Speaker 2: can we can control our internal responses to external events. 1527 01:14:29,452 --> 01:14:32,093 Speaker 2: Other people's opinions and words are external to us. What 1528 01:14:32,173 --> 01:14:34,333 Speaker 2: they say and think is up to them. We can't 1529 01:14:34,333 --> 01:14:36,213 Speaker 2: control that. We live in a world where people will 1530 01:14:36,213 --> 01:14:39,892 Speaker 2: say nasty things, whether we like it or not. We 1531 01:14:40,013 --> 01:14:42,532 Speaker 2: have the power to brush aside ridicule and disrespect and 1532 01:14:42,532 --> 01:14:46,412 Speaker 2: instead focus our energies in more positive directions. That's absolutely truth. 1533 01:14:46,452 --> 01:14:49,253 Speaker 2: Allowing the whims of other people to upset us is 1534 01:14:49,333 --> 01:14:52,333 Speaker 2: a haphazard way to live. You are handing over your 1535 01:14:52,333 --> 01:14:54,972 Speaker 2: tranquility and happiness to anyone who might come your way. 1536 01:14:55,532 --> 01:14:57,732 Speaker 2: That's giving away the only real power you have, the 1537 01:14:57,772 --> 01:15:00,572 Speaker 2: quality of your thoughts. So, I mean, the first question 1538 01:15:00,612 --> 01:15:03,173 Speaker 2: if someone insults you is you can ask is it true? 1539 01:15:03,933 --> 01:15:06,692 Speaker 2: And you put it through this this little spectrum here, 1540 01:15:06,772 --> 01:15:11,652 Speaker 2: this little test yep, is it true? If yes, then 1541 01:15:11,652 --> 01:15:14,093 Speaker 2: it's not an insult. If someone says you stink, and 1542 01:15:14,173 --> 01:15:16,333 Speaker 2: you do sink, stink, then that's not an insult. That's 1543 01:15:16,333 --> 01:15:19,372 Speaker 2: the truth, right, How can you be insulted by the truth. 1544 01:15:20,973 --> 01:15:24,333 Speaker 2: If it's not true, then it's nonsense. And why would 1545 01:15:24,333 --> 01:15:26,173 Speaker 2: you be insulted by nonsense. If someone tells you that 1546 01:15:26,213 --> 01:15:29,173 Speaker 2: you're stinking, you don't stink, then that's just nonsense. So 1547 01:15:29,253 --> 01:15:31,412 Speaker 2: either way, you can't be offended. If it's true, take 1548 01:15:31,412 --> 01:15:34,612 Speaker 2: it on board. If you are communists scum as the 1549 01:15:35,652 --> 01:15:38,333 Speaker 2: thing that started this, you know, look at it and go, 1550 01:15:38,372 --> 01:15:40,652 Speaker 2: am I communist scum? You go, actually, no, I'm not. 1551 01:15:41,133 --> 01:15:45,572 Speaker 2: Therefore I'm not offended by this. It's pretty simple. And look, 1552 01:15:45,612 --> 01:15:48,372 Speaker 2: I think I think that one thing that's really important is, 1553 01:15:48,532 --> 01:15:51,932 Speaker 2: you know the credibility of the insulter. As my friend 1554 01:15:52,053 --> 01:15:55,692 Speaker 2: Maniah always says, Great, Great New Zealand. And when I 1555 01:15:55,692 --> 01:15:58,053 Speaker 2: asked Youart, don't take insults from people you wouldn't take 1556 01:15:58,093 --> 01:16:00,612 Speaker 2: advice from. So that's a great saying that one. So 1557 01:16:00,652 --> 01:16:02,572 Speaker 2: if you're sitting around getting offended by someone that you 1558 01:16:02,572 --> 01:16:05,452 Speaker 2: have no respect for, then you're an idiot, you know, 1559 01:16:05,492 --> 01:16:07,772 Speaker 2: if you wouldn't take their advice, don't take their insults. 1560 01:16:07,893 --> 01:16:11,692 Speaker 3: YEAHSA, and some great knowledge there if you're facing a 1561 01:16:11,692 --> 01:16:12,812 Speaker 3: bit of abuse in your life. 1562 01:16:12,853 --> 01:16:15,133 Speaker 2: And good discussion.

Anyway, I looked next door to my neighbor 2275 01:48:39,053 --> 01:48:42,772 Speaker 22: who had been there since the late fifties maybe sixties, 2276 01:48:43,253 --> 01:48:47,572 Speaker 22: and he had a combination of carpet grass in Indian doob, 2277 01:48:47,652 --> 01:48:53,532 Speaker 22: which is New Zealand coach, and those two combined were amazing. 2278 01:48:53,933 --> 01:48:56,532 Speaker 22: And I said to him, and I always often went over, 2279 01:48:56,652 --> 01:48:59,253 Speaker 22: you know, oh you've got a damn good lawn, and hey, 2280 01:48:59,253 --> 01:49:00,452 Speaker 22: ever do anything with it? 2281 01:49:01,133 --> 01:49:03,492 Speaker 5: And he had this. Anyway, I cleared my. 2282 01:49:03,492 --> 01:49:06,013 Speaker 13: Whole side put in this rescue. 2283 01:49:05,572 --> 01:49:07,612 Speaker 22: But I left a little bit of this Indian dub 2284 01:49:07,692 --> 01:49:10,452 Speaker 22: and the driveway and it crept over into my lawn. 2285 01:49:11,213 --> 01:49:14,132 Speaker 22: And now I've got probably half of it in Indian 2286 01:49:14,213 --> 01:49:18,093 Speaker 22: dobe and half of it in carper grass. Now I 2287 01:49:18,173 --> 01:49:20,572 Speaker 22: don't have to mow my grass very often because in 2288 01:49:20,652 --> 01:49:23,372 Speaker 22: winter time both those grasses go dormant. So I might 2289 01:49:23,732 --> 01:49:27,293 Speaker 22: mow my grass twice in winter, doesn't that fantastic? Don't 2290 01:49:27,333 --> 01:49:29,173 Speaker 22: have to get out and mow my lawn.
