1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: Barry Sopa, our senior political correspondent, raps a political week

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: that was for us. Welcome back, Barry, thank you, nice

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: to talk to you again. Here. Look, okay, set aside

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: how we feel about what happened in politics yesterday. It

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: is difficult I understand that. Set aside how we feel

6
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: about it. Let's talk about the impact of this. Right,

7
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: this is good for the Mary Party, isn't it? All

8
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: that carry on? That's good for them.

9
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 2: Well, it depends on whether people that vote for the

10
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: Maori Party like to see that sort of ban.

11
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: Yes they do, Yes, they do, because if they don't

12
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: say no Barry, because okay, so let's say this is

13
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: really crude. But let's say you are somebody who cares

14
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: deeply about Mary issues. You've got three different parties on

15
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: the left to vote for if you're not voting for

16
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: somebody on the right. Right, So you've got Labor, You've

17
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: got the Greens because they're all swimming in the same space,

18
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: and you've got the Marty Party. The Mary Party's point

19
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: of difference is that they are radical, outspoken, rude, act

20
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: up like the performance. The performance aspect is what has

21
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: driven them to this point. That's what their voters want.

22
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: They just keep growing.

23
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 2: The thing that concerns me is that, you know, like

24
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: I said earlier, that this certainly stands the possibility of

25
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 2: becoming worse, and because we've got sex masters now of

26
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 2: Select Committee hearings. But the Maori Party would do well

27
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: to reflect on how they do behave in the debating

28
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 2: chamber because the Speaker's patience has obviously been tested to

29
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: the limit now and I just hope that they are

30
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: dealt to in some significant way rather than being slapped

31
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: on the wrists with a wet bus ticket. Because when

32
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: you look at the wider Mildi Party, I mean the

33
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: Maori Party is there simply because there's seven Moldy seats.

34
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: Some would say they're racist seats anyway, they shouldn't be

35
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: there for Maori in particular.

36
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: Why not have Well, they're an anacronism and unnecessary right

37
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: now they are well, you.

38
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: Know, John Key talked about doing away with them and

39
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: then used the Maori Party as an insurance policy when

40
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 2: he formulated his first MMP government. So the Maori Party

41
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: then were quite happy that they were there to stay.

42
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 2: But you know, the more they test Parliament like this,

43
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: I think the less likely Parliament's patience is going to

44
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: be with the wider Parliament. The Labor Party is playing

45
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: a very dangerous game here, I think, because that display

46
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 2: yesterday was nothing short of disgraceful and if the Labor

47
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 2: Party who also joined it on the Huka along with

48
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 2: the Greens, the Labor Party have got to reflect on

49
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: that because if it wants to get into.

50
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: Government, he doesn't want to be.

51
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 2: Well, they may well have to, I would think, certainly

52
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 2: have to New Zealand.

53
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: New Zealand Middle News like your Farmer ENTI happy hopeul

54
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: go blue or red is not going to go red

55
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: if if you know, if the Red team is in

56
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: with the Marty Party right, the stuff's too offensive today.

57
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: So they may be basically cocking their own goose.

58
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally be careful about that. So, I mean, if

59
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: it's been like this this week before the Heko arrives,

60
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,119
Speaker 1: what's it going to be like when the heck is there.

61
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: Well, to me, I'm quite concerned about what's going to

62
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: happen at Parliament on Tuesday because it'll be the last

63
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: time that Gang members, for example, are going to be

64
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 2: able to display their patches and so I would imagine

65
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: they'll be out all mass at Parliament.

66
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: Aren't You're going to be at Parliament for a nice

67
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: little cocktail function with a whole lot of a whole

68
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: lot of benighted people.

69
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: Well, yes, it'll be interesting to see how that's going

70
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: to come off, because you'll have the screaming outside the

71
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 2: bee hive and side people clinking cocktail glasses. So I

72
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: don't know how that's going to go down, but at

73
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: least I'll be there on the ground to have a

74
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 2: look and see what happens. But it does concern me.

75
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: We've seen the violence at Parliament when Trevor Mallard provoked

76
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: protesters in the anti the mandate anti mandate issue during

77
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 2: the COVID thing, So worries me that.

78
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: Do you think it would go down if Jerry turned

79
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: on the sprinklers.

80
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 2: I don't think Jerry is that unwise. You know, he's

81
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 2: had a hell of a week. You know, when you

82
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 2: consider he banned a journalist, he suddenly reversed that decision,

83
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: and then he had to put up with his rabbel

84
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: in Parliament yesterday. I mean, it's not been a good

85
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: week for Jerry. Not that he could have done anything.

86
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: I think about what happened in Parliament yesterday and then

87
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 2: stand there because there's no point in trying to yell

88
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 2: over the top of these yahoos, because you know you

89
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 2: wouldn't be heard. And I think he did the right

90
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: thing wait for the harker to finish because the public

91
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 2: galleries were still going, but at least he could be

92
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 2: heard before he suspended parliament and walked out in I

93
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 2: think discussed.

94
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,920
