1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: Jamie McKay, hosts of the Countries of That's Evening, Jamie,

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: I hear that. So Shane Jones was on the show

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:06,359
Speaker 1: and he was just having.

4
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 2: A crack, was he, oh, just having a crack, racking

5
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 2: up the Greenies? You name it. Look, we were going

6
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 2: to talk He was filling in for Winston Peter's on

7
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 2: yesterday's show, and we were going to talk about live

8
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 2: animal export, which will.

9
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: Jamie are you there? The Greenies have cut his line.

10
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: They have We're going to talk about the live animal export.

11
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: Greenies have cut the line. Hey while I've actually speaking

12
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: of which this is actually important. So we'll see if

13
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: we can get Jamie up. I just got to tell

14
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: you quickly. Transpower is asking households north of Walkworth who

15
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: do not have power to please reduce the power outage.

16
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: They the power usage. Rather, they say they don't yet

17
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: know when the power is going to be back on

18
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 1: for everyone, but it's going to take at least until

19
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: late tomorrow at the earliest, so you're in for the

20
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: long haul. Northland people with power are being told to

21
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: use less, for example, turn off the heaters, turn off

22
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: the lights and rooms you're not using, use your large

23
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: appliance as sparingly only change your electric vehicles as needed

24
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: six twenty five and Jamie mckaye's back are, they say, Jamie.

25
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 2: Well, someone turned the power out into needing apologies for that, Heather.

26
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: So anyhow, he tees off against Jill to send his

27
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 2: new political program about leading with kindness and empathy. And

28
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 2: I suggested to him that there's probably a few frogs

29
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: and lizards around the country who reckon he should sign

30
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 2: up for this program here But anyhow, I'm just quoting

31
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 2: him here. He said, Martua Shane Jones from Kaitaia always

32
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: speaks about himself. I'm the third person is not going

33
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: to tolerate ever any of that jewy eyed naivete. It'll

34
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: be a long day in hell. Before I joined that

35
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: pearl clutching group, and then I suggested to him that

36
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 2: perhaps he could learn to speak to people with hope

37
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: and optimism rather than fear or blame, to unite rather

38
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 2: than divide, and away he went again. He said, just

39
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: sind us over there emotionally colonizing another part of the world,

40
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: and the less I encounter of it the better. And

41
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: then we got to live animal export. And this is

42
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: where he really took off. Said, I think we should

43
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: go ahead sooner rather than later with exporting animals. And

44
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: if a few rams die on the way, well that's

45
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: just part of life. We can't preserve every single creature

46
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: in the pursuit of fiscal solvency. Get real. So that's

47
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: but to have change.

48
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: You've been wavering on this, you haven't been sure we

49
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: you sit on the live animally exports. Has he changed

50
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: your mind? Has he firmed you up? A?

51
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: Look, honestly, it's a it's a very divisive it's a

52
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 2: divisive issue and I think I've said to you that,

53
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 2: to this to you before, Heather. I think New Zealand

54
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: farming has split down the middle on this one. Yes,

55
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: it's a half billion dollar income earner, but there are

56
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,399
Speaker 2: some negatives with it as well. But I will say,

57
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 2: you know, like the animal wealthy standards on these live

58
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 2: exports ships is vastly different to what we had in

59
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: the past.

60
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, what's the problem with the median barriers?

61
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 2: Ah, well, the median barriers. Let me have a look

62
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 2: at that one. I thought we were talking about the

63
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: Ravo farmer comfort.

64
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by the medium barriers.

65
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: All right, Well, go with the meat barriers, or you

66
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 2: don't even start me on the orange cones here that

67
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 2: we'll just go with the median barriers at the moment.

68
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: So the rural contractors say the median barriers and barriers

69
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 2: are making roads unsafe and causing them stress for those

70
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: driving tractors with lines of cars behind them. These are

71
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 2: the tractors with the mowers or the silence makers or

72
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 2: whatever as they're making the way down. Obviously the cars

73
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: can't get passed if there's a median barrier in the

74
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: middle of the road. So therese contractors driving tractors on

75
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 2: long stretches a road are being faced with abuse and

76
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: being clipped by other drivers who can't pass them because

77
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: of those barriers. The guy who's running the rural contractors

78
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 2: group a chat by the name of Andrew Olsen said, look,

79
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: our members are telling us it's becoming quite stressful because

80
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: they're traveling down the road and they're tractors or machinery

81
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 2: which they're entired to do, and then they end up

82
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: with dozens of cars with impatient drivers like me behind them.

83
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: He said it can be easily fixed by just putting

84
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 2: casting bays or areas where contractors could easily and safely

85
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: pull over the others past and extra camper van drivers

86
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: could follow that leaders Well, it's actually not a bad piece.

87
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: It's not a bad idea at all, Jamie. Thank you
