1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Politics was centric credit check your customers and get payment certainty.

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 2: Just go on quarter to five news Talk ZEBB. A

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 2: senior political correspondent, Barry Soper is in Wellington with us today.

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 2: Hey Barry, good afternoon, Right Ken, we can touch on

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 2: the inconsistencies. Can we over the conscience vote on Easter

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 2: trading in Sunday advertising.

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 3: Yes, it's fascinating, isn't it. That You've got to remember

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 3: they'll keep holy the Sabbath because the first reading of

9
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 3: the advertising at the weekends bill that was successful ninety

10
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 3: four to twenty nine. But it seems the cruciffixion and

11
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 3: the rise of Jesus. A couple of days later at

12
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 3: Easter trading, we people have broken the law essentially to trade.

13
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 3: Easter trading has been defeated again seventy four votes to

14
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 3: forty nine. So the retailers won't be able to trade

15
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 3: at Easter weekend. But it's incredible, isn't it. At a

16
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 3: time Ryan, when you think if ever of the retailers

17
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 3: were facing it tough at the moment, that the MPs

18
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 3: would have thought, well, let's give them a break.

19
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: Which MPs are we talking about? I mean, who was

20
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 2: largely in four and four and again.

21
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 3: Well, if you look at the Easter trading seventy four,

22
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 3: we're against in forty nine four, I would imagine the

23
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 3: whole of the National Party voted for. But you know

24
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 3: they don't do the breakdowns of who voted what, and

25
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 3: so you know, it's funny. It's a conscience vote.

26
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is weird in mansistent. Yeah, it is Lake Alice,

27
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 2: a torture survivor's art to get compensation.

28
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you know a dreadful period in our history

29
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 3: that was they can either choose an expedited payment, a

30
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 3: quick payment for one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, or

31
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 3: they can lodge acclaim and that'll be viewed by an

32
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 3: independent arbiter and they'll make a determination on their mouths. Now,

33
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 3: these were many of them with kids and they were

34
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 3: getting shock treatment, which was absolutely shocking. They in fact

35
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 3: have got until April next year. Those are the ones

36
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 3: that want the expedited payment, or they can delay it

37
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 3: until September next year if they want to negotiate a payment. Well,

38
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 3: payments will be all done by the end of next year. Now.

39
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: The Minister Erica Stanford said all the organs of State

40
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 3: were notified about the torture of children, but it seems

41
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 3: no one was listening.

42
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 4: Dozens more complaints and concerns were made to every government

43
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 4: department that had some connection or responsibility Forlake Alice. Complaints

44
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 4: were made to police officers, social workers, kads of Departments

45
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 4: of Social Welfare, Education and Health, the Medical Council, Yombusman

46
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 4: District inspectors, doctors and nurses, and none was sufficiently acted on.

47
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 4: The Crown utterly failed survivors and we owed the majority

48
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 4: of care and protection.

49
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 3: You'd have to say that was absolutely the case.

50
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah, no arguing with that. The final clash of

51
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: the leaders in the House for the year.

52
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Prime Minister and the leader of the Opposition.

53
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 3: Given the clash, they will no doubt certainly be pleased

54
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 3: see the last of each other. As Parliament draws to

55
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 3: a close for the year, they're having the adjournment debate.

56
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 3: At the moment Chris Luckson has just been on his

57
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 3: feet and Chris Hopkins followed him. But earlier on during

58
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 3: question time. Here they are with Chris Luckson defending the

59
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 3: record of his Finance Minister, Nichola Willis.

60
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: Nichola Willis is going to go down as the best

61
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: finance minister in as country they ever seen, because by god,

62
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: what a mess she has picked up, and she is

63
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: cleaning house and she's getting the job done, and she

64
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: has delivered a value for money, reliable, sensible faery solution

65
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: of rail, combatible fairies, and our great Minister of Rail's

66
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: got a limited window to try and improve upon it.

67
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: Otherwise we're going to get new fairies twenty twenty nine.

68
00:03:59,040 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: Don't you worry about it?

69
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 5: So why does he think he's the most unpopular prime

70
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 5: minister in New Zealand's history? And what does he think

71
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 5: Nichola Willis is more likely to replace next year the

72
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 5: inter Island Fairies for him, his prime Minister.

73
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that is a bit wrench, isn't it.

74
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: Isn't that a bit ratch?

75
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: How are the conversations with David Parker and Kerr McNulty

76
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: working out sun They're getting on very well.

77
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 3: Haven't they.

78
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 2: Goodness? Okay, all right? And just finally Shane Jones while

79
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 2: he's having a bit of fun too, well, look he.

80
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 3: Was at his lyrical best, I've got to say, as

81
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 3: he was lauding the success of his regional summits. He's

82
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,559
Speaker 3: been holding up and down the country in his mind,

83
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 3: Jones told Parliament he hasn't a sceric of doubt about

84
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 3: how well they were received.

85
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 6: Unheralded popularity. The summits have been an opportunity to meet

86
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 6: and greet people. Occasionally there have been one of three

87
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 6: protesters as I've sought to engage regard variety Kiwis. But

88
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 6: the days of those mung being meddlers are over. Without

89
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 6: a doubt. Taranaki will enjoy a boost with offshore mining opportunities. Sadly, no,

90
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 6: that's enough from the Kumua munches, not going to have

91
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 6: any and International Gas and Oil Explorer announced at six

92
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 6: point thirty this morning they're no longer withdrawing from New

93
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 6: Zealand and on your behalf New Zealand. I claim a

94
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 6: little credit for that.

95
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 3: I've got to say. It's a great way to go out,

96
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 3: isn't it, Because you know, he is probably i think

97
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 3: one of the most humorous and able speakers in the

98
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 3: place at the moment. Yeah.

99
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 2: That, well, they're a bit short on those, aren't they They.

100
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 3: Not in the past week. We had great orators in

101
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 3: the old days and they're not quite the same today.

102
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 3: So he's the pick of the bunch at the moment,

103
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 3: I think.

104
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 2: Long may he rain, Uncle Shane, thank you so much.
