1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Barriosopersen your political correspondence with us now, Barry, Hello, good afternoon, Heaven.

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 2: Andrew Bailey, Yeah, I mean he's done a Mayor Corpo,

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 2: Mayor corpor Ma Maxima corpor Isn't he really he's front

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 2: foot at it. You've got to say. Goodness only knows

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 2: though what he was up to when he was at

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 2: this warehouse. I mean to tell a person that was

7
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 2: there to take a bottle of wine and go home

8
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 2: and if off. It's not the behavior you would expect

9
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 2: of a cabinet minister, and certainly that was reinforced by

10
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 2: the Prime Minister this afternoon. He said that he was

11
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 2: disappointed by Andrew Bailey's contact and fell well short of

12
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 2: what would be expected of a cabinet minister. Well, Andrew Bailey,

13
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 2: he usurped the Prime Minister because he wrote not just

14
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 2: the company that he had visited, but to the man

15
00:00:54,480 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: that he had he says insulted on the on the

16
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: warehouse floor. So you know, he's really been terribly contrite

17
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: about it. But I guess I have spoken to him briefly,

18
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: but he said he was being lighthearted and I know

19
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: you're going to talk to him after five o'clock. But

20
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 2: there are times when you can be lighthearted, maybe with

21
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 2: somebody you know, but with a perfect stranger. They could

22
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: take it.

23
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: Back and sort of see how this was a joke though,

24
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: Right If you go to the warehouse, there's one worker

25
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: there and you go, hey, listen, get a bottle of

26
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: one and go home. Nobody else is here, go, I'm

27
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: you loser, don't work anymore. Like, you can see how

28
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: that could actually just be not intended to insert yeah exactly.

29
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 2: And look Andrew Bailey. I know him very well. When

30
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: I was commuting between Auckland and Wellington, I'd have on

31
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: the old occasion a drink with him in the Quarry Club.

32
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: He's an awfully nice man and as the most non

33
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: offensive person that I've come across in many a long

34
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 2: year in politics. And I did sort of wonder whether

35
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: he was suited to politics because he was far too

36
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: nice for the business. This man is an adventurer extraordinariy

37
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: with some of the things he's done. He's done the

38
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 2: coast to coast three times, he's done Ironman, He's dragged

39
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 2: a sled to the North Pole and the South Pole.

40
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, his background is incredible probably the

41
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: most incredible background of any politician. But you know, this

42
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: lapse in judgment I think is probably even beyond Andrew

43
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 2: Bailey when he reflects on it himself.

44
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: Barry, now you have been walking around telling us that

45
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: you think that Darlene is not gone.

46
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 2: He's not gone. You know, you would expect that the Greens,

47
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: as they did last night, wrote to the Speaker and

48
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 2: said we want the wocker jumping legislation and vote. Now,

49
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 2: normally that would be a straightforward case. The Speaker would

50
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: take it on board. Although don't forget, it's never been

51
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: tested before, so this is the first time it's actually

52
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 2: been used, ironically by the Greens who was so vehemently

53
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 2: opposed to it. But what I suspect is that the

54
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: Speaker will probably look at the Court of Appeal and

55
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: she's successfully made a bid for her case to be

56
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: viewed by the Court of Appeal on whether the Greens

57
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 2: were right and sacking her in the first place. Now,

58
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: if the Court of Appeal decides that they were right,

59
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: it could throw everything into chaos that the Greens would

60
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 2: be held in some way to account. She's obviously outside

61
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,559
Speaker 2: the Greens now, but who knows.

62
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: So are you saying, because the Greens expect now that

63
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: they've written to Jerry, Jerry's She's going to take it

64
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: and start the process and she's gone, never mind what

65
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: the Court of Appeal is going to do. But are

66
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: you saying that there is a chance that he will

67
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: pause because her case has already been accepted by the

68
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: Court of Appeals. For the decision from the Court of

69
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: Appeal Before he makes.

70
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 2: A decision, he has to, you know, I mean, if

71
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: due process is to be followed, he can.

72
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: Take broken the news to Chloe, because she was beaming

73
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: last night, she was thrilled.

74
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: Well, I think Chloe is naive and she's been naive

75
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: since the beginning of.

76
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: This Barry, this is going to be utterly devastating to

77
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: the Green have to sit through potentially monks of course, make.

78
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: Them look even more foolish, and they're looking.

79
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: Today quite Do we have a Court of Appeal days, No,

80
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: we don't.

81
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 2: So you know the way the court system moves in

82
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 2: this country. And maybe after the next election that she

83
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 2: gets before the Court of Appeal, Oh, how good is that?

84
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 2: I'm joking. I mean, it will be much sooner than that.

85
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 2: But you know, I mean, she's dragged it out and

86
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: she's done it quite successful.

87
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: Is it like three Nils.

88
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 2: Disgusted the public and my viewers that here's a woman

89
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 2: hanging on in Parliament when she's got no place to

90
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: be there. Nevertheless, she's played the Greens at what has

91
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: been a fairly ghastly sort of vein.

92
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: If you are right, such is the outcome of deliberative democracy.

93
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: Chloe's face, Barry, thanks very much, really appreciate it. We'll

94
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: I read the political week that was with you later.
