2
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: fix for Wednesday, the ninth of April. The Reserve Bank

3
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: says it's not clear how global trade wars will affect

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,960

00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: with banks immediately responding by lowering advertised home loan rates.

7
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: It's against a backdrop of Donald Trump's widespread tariffs, including

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: a jaw dropping one hundred and four percent for China

9

Speaker 1: Monetary Policy Committee is divided on what the tariffs mean

11
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: for US. As events are unfolding and uncertainty of bounds,

12
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: people will have slightly different views on which way this

13
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: is all going to land. Green MP Benjamin Doyle has

14
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: addressed media. It's their first appearance since going to ground

15
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: after being bombarded by extreme threats relating to their social

16
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: media activity. Posts from the u s MP's private account

17
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: included Instagram captions the Prime Minister has described as an

18
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: appropriate Doyle says they didn't expect such baseless and violent

19
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: attacks and want it to bring their full self to Parliament.

20
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: This is why when I was advised by the party

21
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: to delete the page before coming to Parliament, I chose

22
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: not to. I can admit that I was politically naive.

23
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: Winston Peters says it's a no brainer to use New

24
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: Zealand wool in government buildings. From July, new bills worth

25
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,080

Speaker 1: Darra wool products in Seid. First Leader says for too

30
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: long the price tag has been the focus, not where

31
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: a product is from. Other smart countries like Ireland elsewhere

32
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: look for their own self sufficiency or a placement of

33
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: imports if they can possibly do it with their own product,

34
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: that just makes sense. Wellington Central MP Tamitha Paul is

38
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: beat police just throw away homeless people's items. And that

39
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: Wellingtonians don't want to boosted visible presents in Parliament today.

40
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: Paul says many communities don't feel safer with police around,

41
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: including Mardi Pacifica and women that as a group of

42
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: people I am proud to represent and I don't care

43
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,200
