1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: Politics with centric credit, check your customers and get payments certainty.

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 2: Thirteen away from five. Barry Soper, senior political correspondent, is

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 2: with us in studio. Hey Barry, Good afternoon, Heather. What

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,120
Speaker 2: do you make of the liquor licensing rule changes?

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: Well, I think they're long overdue. Actually, that's been very

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: restrictive in communities. Under the reforms, only people from the

7
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: local community would be able to object to new license applications,

8
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: while applicants would gain a formal right of reply. So

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: that's a good change. The other changes will allow, and

10
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: you'll be happy with this one. When you go to

11
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: the hair dresses, you'll be able to have a drink legally,

12
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: So wineries, breweries and distilleries in fact off licenses. They'll

13
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: let hair dresses and barbers serve small amounts of alcohol

14
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: without a license. But then I guess the question is asked,

15
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: isn't it what's a small amount of alcohol? So I

16
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: don't know how they can be around that.

17
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 3: One small to you might be someone else with gigantic quantity.

18
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: Precisely you come out, come out of the air dress,

19
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: are looking rather wonky. But then to tie the point,

20
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: it's interesting Nicole McKee, who's the Associate Justice Minister. She

21
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: said the changes also included harm reduction measures, she tells us,

22
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: including barring delivery services from serving highly intoxicated buyers.

23
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 4: Here, she is Uber Eats is one example where they

24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 4: already have measures in place to make sure that they

25
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 4: are delivering to the correct people. We want to ensure

26
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 4: that that's across all delivery services, and it will be

27
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 4: incumbent upon them to ensure that they do not serve

28
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 4: or deliver to those that are already well intoxicated in

29
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 4: those that are underage. There is a bit of a

30
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 4: loophole there in the deliveries, and so I'm making sure

31
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 4: that we are managing that and closing it.

32
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: How on earth they're going to do that, I don't know.

33
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: You imagine if you're an Uber driver, you turn up

34
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: to an address somebody's pissed at the door and wants

35
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: to take delivery of more alcohol that you're going to

36
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: tell them, no, you're not allowed to have it as

37
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: you're drunk. I mean, that's really putting a.

38
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: Lot as well that No.

39
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: I just I think it could create for Uber drivers

40
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: and the like other delivery people a real problem. Well,

41
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: if somebody's boozed and you're, you know, you're keeping the

42
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: liquor from them. I wouldn't like to be in that position.

43
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 3: No fair enough, okay, So explain to me how this

44
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 3: electric office rent is working.

45
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: Well.

46
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: I think it's a bit of a storm and a

47
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: teacup actually, because they're saying Chris Luxen he has a

48
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: rental property that he's letting out to Parliamentary Services for

49
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: his electorate office. And look, if you've got a property

50
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: you might be your elector office. There could be I

51
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: guess some would see a conflict of interest there, but

52
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: he's made it quite public that he earns about forty

53
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars a year for his office. But it's

54
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: not only that Labor's doing the same thing. They're getting

55
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: out officers as well. And these are officers that Labor

56
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: Properties Limited own, so they're all doing it. I can't

57
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: see there's anything wrong in it. I mean, if you've

58
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 1: got to if you've got to have an electorate office,

59
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: you've got the landlord's got to be somebody.

60
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: Well, I think that Barry.

61
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 3: The problem is the perception that these guys are making

62
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 3: making bank of us because they are all right, they're

63
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 3: getting into it.

64
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 2: They should be getting.

65
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 3: Into it and serving the people of New Zealand, not

66
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 3: making bank. And every single one of them based well

67
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 3: that's not many of them are making bank.

68
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: Well, you know, you own a building, you own an office,

69
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: you want an electorate office, So would you sooner pay

70
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: another line?

71
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, Barry, I just answered. Sorry, gee, sorry,

72
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: I answer. I answered your question. Answer to your question. Hey,

73
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: can I have you seen have you heard what John

74
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 2: Tom said.

75
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: About I was going to talk about it, but look,

76
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: tell me what I think. The comments are disgraceful, to

77
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: be perfectly honest, and this is typical of John Tammerherdy.

78
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: And I've got to say the Mouldi Party, there are

79
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: a bunch of protesters. They have seats in parliament unfortunately,

80
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: so I guess you've got to talk about what they

81
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: say and what Tamahiriy has said, not just that, he

82
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: said much worse than that about Nazi Germany.

83
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 3: It's just not all Hey, Barry, thank you very much,

84
