1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: I assume you're as excited as I am, for today

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: is decision day, It's meeting day. It's deal with Darlene Day.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: Oh you thought I was going to talk about Wellington,

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 1: didn't you. It's deal with Darlene Day. Darlene is off

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: the court, as you do. But the party, her former party,

6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: is going to have another meeting and it suggested they

7
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: may even make a decision they need seventy five percent

8
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: to boot her out of Parliament via the walker jumping law.

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: I got no idea whether they'll get that or not

10
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: if you haven't followed this, and I don't blame you.

11
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: Trying to understand the way the Greens think requires tremendous

12
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: patience and quite possibly a lot of cannabis. But they

13
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: don't like walker jumping in the law, so to have

14
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: to use it would rub a lot of them up

15
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: the wrong way. But Darlene with her actions, has already

16
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: rubbed them up the wrong way. So it's just a

17
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: matter perhaps of working out which feels less rubby Tana

18
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,319
Speaker 1: or the law you dislike. Now, at some point, as

19
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: I've suggested before, they might like to look at their

20
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,279
Speaker 1: candidate selection process, because I assume at one of their

21
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: preceding meetings, somebody has had the wherewithal to say something like, hey, guys,

22
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: have you noticed how many halfwits we've ended up selecting

23
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: that have gone on to make fools of us? Couple

24
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: of procedural things you must never forget. The party has

25
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: never released the full report into Ton, and now you

26
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: might want to ask yourself why not. Also, you might

27
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: have noticed how astonishingly long it's taken to get to

28
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: this point, and that might just be a warning as

29
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: to what sort of approach to matters they may take

30
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: should they ever be in power in a cabinet that

31
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: actually requires adults to make sharpest sort of decisions. As

32
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: for today, well, they have to boot her out, one

33
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: because she is a reprobate, but two because they've made

34
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: such a meal of her performance and behavior. Not to

35
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: boot her out is to see her win, and to

36
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: see her win would make absolute fools of the party.

37
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: That's not to say that won't happen, because it's the

38
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: Greens and they're not like the rest of us. But

39
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: it might just be that one of Parliament's bigger embarrassments

40
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: is about to and not a moment too soon. Get
