1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Can we get Parmer back to work? Just saying at

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: a time when the Prime Minister is urging us to work, work, work, work,

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: work for growth, growth, growth, growth, growth, Parliaments playing around

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: with all sorts of unproductive publicity stunts. So we had Winston.

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: He's still banging on two days later about using altai

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: or in the house ten minutes debating time we spent

7
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 1: on the topic yesterday. There's no bill on the floor

8
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 1: asking for a name change. We know the sorts of

9
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: people who like to feel good by saying altail or

10
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: New Zealand, but it's not a thing. Whatever happened to

11
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: free speech? By the way, Winston if Ricardo wants to

12
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: say artail or, just roll your eyes and move on.

13
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: No bill, no story, but a lot of time debating,

14
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: and Winston's voters, you know, are lapping it up. I'm

15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: glad you're entertained. Meanwhile, the Treaty Principal's bill continues to frustrate.

16
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: Yesterday we had Jenny Shipley and Chris Finnisson being up

17
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: to rail against the law, and they really did rail

18
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: against it too. Earlier Hekia Parata had a crack. It

19
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: is quite amazing to see the parade of National Party

20
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: ground who have been so keen to come out against

21
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: the bill, which shows that the bill is not part

22
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: of the National Party DNA. It never has been. And

23
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: we know this because we know the bill's not going through.

24
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: Ask the Prime Minister. It is a plaything of act

25
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: and it's eight percent support and no disrespect to those people.

26
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: I know you care deeply about the general idea, but frankly,

27
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: the bill is a dog, badly written and you don't

28
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: have any coalition partner supporting it. It is sucking up

29
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 1: vayuable time and energy and money. It's doing nothing for

30
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: our productivity or our economy, and that is the number

31
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: one thing right now. It's not going to happen, and

32
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: yet the fast rumbles on. Glad you're entertained for more
