He has just joined Portugal's 62 00:03:24,053 --> 00:03:27,093 Speaker 3: under fifteen squad, following his very famous dad into the 63 00:03:27,093 --> 00:03:30,053 Speaker 3: world of professional soccer.

Are you a nepo baby? Yeah, it's the question, 69 00:03:43,973 --> 00:03:46,813 Speaker 2: or did you refuse to be a nepo baby? And 70 00:03:46,813 --> 00:03:48,733 Speaker 2: that's an unfair way to put it, but you know, 71 00:03:49,013 --> 00:03:51,013 Speaker 2: did you go into your dad's plumbing business? Did you 72 00:03:51,173 --> 00:03:54,373 Speaker 2: take over the family farm? Are you in a position 73 00:03:54,413 --> 00:03:57,333 Speaker 2: where you'd love your kids to take over but they 74 00:03:57,533 --> 00:04:00,413 Speaker 2: just won't And that is a tragedy. You know, there's 75 00:04:00,493 --> 00:04:03,653 Speaker 2: generations of people that work in running a business and 76 00:04:03,693 --> 00:04:08,933 Speaker 2: then gets to this current age and the kids. Gartner, Nah, 77 00:04:08,973 --> 00:04:10,773 Speaker 2: I don't want to do it. I'm going on my oe. 78 00:04:11,053 --> 00:04:12,813 Speaker 3: Yep, it happens, and we want to hear from you. 79 00:04:12,893 --> 00:04:16,133 Speaker 3: That is after three o'clock. After two o'clock, the conclave 80 00:04:16,293 --> 00:04:19,653 Speaker 3: to find the next pope is underway. They didn't find 81 00:04:19,653 --> 00:04:22,013 Speaker 3: a pope today. It was black smoke out in the chimney. 82 00:04:22,493 --> 00:04:25,173 Speaker 3: But they'll be back into it tomorrow. But we want 83 00:04:25,173 --> 00:04:28,653 Speaker 3: to have a chat ahead of the new pope being elected? 84 00:04:29,133 --> 00:04:30,453 Speaker 3: What do you want out in new pope? 85 00:04:30,533 --> 00:04:32,573 Speaker 2: Yeah, Catholics, what do you want out of the pope? Everyone? 86 00:04:32,573 --> 00:04:34,173 Speaker 2: What do you want out of the new pape? How 87 00:04:34,213 --> 00:04:37,293 Speaker 2: important is the pope? In twenty twenty five where does 88 00:04:37,333 --> 00:04:40,053 Speaker 2: the pope sit in terms of world leaders in this 89 00:04:40,173 --> 00:04:43,013 Speaker 2: current age? And what are the smoke signals mean? Yeah, 90 00:04:43,253 --> 00:04:45,613 Speaker 2: we've there are a lot of questions about the conclave. 91 00:04:45,733 --> 00:04:46,493 Speaker 3: We certainly do. 92 00:04:46,693 --> 00:04:50,413 Speaker 2: And is it true that a woman purportedly attempted to 93 00:04:50,453 --> 00:04:53,013 Speaker 2: become a pope in eighteen fifty five? And think I 94 00:04:53,013 --> 00:04:55,933 Speaker 2: think the story is that Pope Joan she's snuck in 95 00:04:55,973 --> 00:04:58,933 Speaker 2: there eight fifty five and now they check. 96 00:04:59,613 --> 00:05:00,053 Speaker 4: Is that right? 97 00:05:00,493 --> 00:05:01,573 Speaker 3: That's a great story. 98 00:05:01,653 --> 00:05:02,053 Speaker 2: I don't know. 99 00:05:02,133 --> 00:05:03,773 Speaker 3: I don't know. We'll we'll get to the bottom of that. 100 00:05:03,773 --> 00:05:05,893 Speaker 3: Because we're also going to have a chat to Peter Lynon. 101 00:05:06,453 --> 00:05:09,733 Speaker 3: He is a renowned religious experts, So we're going to 102 00:05:09,773 --> 00:05:12,173 Speaker 3: have a chat to them about that process after two o'clock. 103 00:05:12,173 --> 00:05:14,693 Speaker 3: Because right now, let's have a chat about a government 104 00:05:14,693 --> 00:05:16,853 Speaker 3: bill which would allow doc to issue permits for killing 105 00:05:16,853 --> 00:05:20,493 Speaker 3: protected wildlife when building roads or other infrastructure it's needed. 106 00:05:20,493 --> 00:05:23,453 Speaker 3: After some could fuffle with the Mount Messenger bypass project. 107 00:05:23,453 --> 00:05:26,373 Speaker 3: This was a six k new road in Tartanaki. It 108 00:05:26,493 --> 00:05:28,493 Speaker 3: involved two bridges in a two hundred and thirty five 109 00:05:28,533 --> 00:05:31,893 Speaker 3: meter tunnel, but like most infrastructure, the project encroached on 110 00:05:31,933 --> 00:05:36,613 Speaker 3: the territory of protected kiwi and bats and skinks, and 111 00:05:36,733 --> 00:05:39,973 Speaker 3: for years Dock issued permits that basically said construction companies 112 00:05:40,213 --> 00:05:42,693 Speaker 3: needed to try and capture and move the protected species, 113 00:05:42,693 --> 00:05:46,013 Speaker 3: but if they accidentally killed a skink or a kiwi 114 00:05:46,373 --> 00:05:49,133 Speaker 3: during that project, they would not be prosecuted. But that 115 00:05:49,293 --> 00:05:52,773 Speaker 3: was changed after a successful court challenge, so the Minister 116 00:05:52,853 --> 00:05:54,493 Speaker 3: now wants to try and revert it back. 117 00:05:54,333 --> 00:05:56,893 Speaker 2: And the new lord would still require ecological offsets to 118 00:05:56,933 --> 00:06:00,253 Speaker 2: protect wildlife overall. But the question is how much do 119 00:06:00,293 --> 00:06:05,613 Speaker 2: we care about small bats and skinks and even kiwis. 120 00:06:06,053 --> 00:06:08,453 Speaker 2: Should we be more human first in our thinking a 121 00:06:08,533 --> 00:06:10,293 Speaker 2: road makes it better for the humans, shouldn't we just 122 00:06:10,573 --> 00:06:13,653 Speaker 2: go for it. I love a kiwi as much as 123 00:06:13,653 --> 00:06:16,173 Speaker 2: the next person, you know. I get very patriotic when 124 00:06:16,213 --> 00:06:17,973 Speaker 2: I see a kiwi. At the bottom of the Gondlers 125 00:06:18,053 --> 00:06:20,133 Speaker 2: and Queenstown we have to see some Keywis. Is a 126 00:06:20,133 --> 00:06:22,573 Speaker 2: fantastic set up there. It's infra red so they don't 127 00:06:22,573 --> 00:06:24,053 Speaker 2: know you're there, and you watch them running around and 128 00:06:24,093 --> 00:06:26,253 Speaker 2: they look like people whose pants are too long and 129 00:06:26,253 --> 00:06:28,373 Speaker 2: they're falling down at the back, and they're very very good. 130 00:06:28,733 --> 00:06:31,933 Speaker 2: I love a kiwi, but as a key we enough 131 00:06:31,933 --> 00:06:35,173 Speaker 2: to stop something that makes our country more productive, As 132 00:06:35,213 --> 00:06:38,813 Speaker 2: a more productive country will mean less suffering for actual humans. 133 00:06:38,813 --> 00:06:41,053 Speaker 2: Should we just be more human first in all our 134 00:06:41,133 --> 00:06:46,453 Speaker 2: decisions because moving on a few keywis doesn't matter. And maybe, 135 00:06:46,573 --> 00:06:49,053 Speaker 2: and I mean a wider question is what kind of 136 00:06:49,133 --> 00:06:51,613 Speaker 2: key we sticks around when a bunch of people turn 137 00:06:51,693 --> 00:06:53,333 Speaker 2: up with diggers. Yeah, I think the keys would be 138 00:06:53,373 --> 00:06:53,773 Speaker 2: out of there. 139 00:06:53,853 --> 00:06:55,853 Speaker 3: Yeah, if it knew what was good for it, it would 140 00:06:55,893 --> 00:06:58,293 Speaker 3: run for the hills once they saw the developers moving in. 141 00:06:58,533 --> 00:07:00,413 Speaker 3: But it is a fair question that this has long 142 00:07:00,453 --> 00:07:02,573 Speaker 3: been a battle for a lot of developers, not just 143 00:07:02,613 --> 00:07:06,813 Speaker 3: for roads, but for private infrastructure as well. And as 144 00:07:06,813 --> 00:07:09,333 Speaker 3: you mentioned, Matt, there are still parts of that law 145 00:07:09,373 --> 00:07:11,653 Speaker 3: that require them to try and do their best to 146 00:07:12,093 --> 00:07:15,493 Speaker 3: remove those species elsewhere or protect them at test they can, 147 00:07:15,533 --> 00:07:18,413 Speaker 3: because this comes down to the accidental killing of some 148 00:07:18,493 --> 00:07:21,693 Speaker 3: of these skinks and bats and on the odd occasion kiwi. 149 00:07:22,573 --> 00:07:26,693 Speaker 3: And to try and build any sort of infrastructure in 150 00:07:26,693 --> 00:07:29,613 Speaker 3: New Zealand, there's always that risk, always that little bit 151 00:07:29,613 --> 00:07:31,973 Speaker 3: of a risk that you're going to take out what 152 00:07:32,133 --> 00:07:35,133 Speaker 3: is a protected specie and a lot of people freak 153 00:07:35,173 --> 00:07:37,893 Speaker 3: out over that. Should we be really freaking out that much? 154 00:07:37,973 --> 00:07:41,093 Speaker 3: Over over that situation when it means a new road 155 00:07:41,413 --> 00:07:43,333 Speaker 3: that is going to boost productivity in this case for 156 00:07:43,413 --> 00:07:44,293 Speaker 3: the likes of Tartanuki. 157 00:07:44,413 --> 00:07:47,173 Speaker 2: Yeah, is the bettering The lives of tens of thousands 158 00:07:47,173 --> 00:07:50,053 Speaker 2: of humans are worth the loss of the life of 159 00:07:50,453 --> 00:07:50,773 Speaker 2: one or. 160 00:07:50,733 --> 00:07:52,933 Speaker 3: Two kiwis love to hear from you on this one. 161 00:07:52,973 --> 00:07:55,413 Speaker 3: O eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to 162 00:07:55,493 --> 00:07:56,973 Speaker 3: call if you're in the game as well, Really ten 163 00:07:57,053 --> 00:07:58,613 Speaker 3: to get your thoughts on it.

But if they accidentally killed a 176 00:08:40,773 --> 00:08:45,093 Speaker 3: kiwi or a protected gecko, skank, long tailed bat, they 177 00:08:45,132 --> 00:08:47,413 Speaker 3: wouldn't be prosecuted. That was challenging the court, And now 178 00:08:47,453 --> 00:08:48,973 Speaker 3: developers can if they do that. 179 00:08:49,213 --> 00:08:52,573 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm just asking the question, should we be 180 00:08:52,732 --> 00:08:56,333 Speaker 2: more human focused in this discussion? It seems crazy in 181 00:08:56,372 --> 00:09:00,333 Speaker 2: some ways that you would even consider stopping a project 182 00:09:00,333 --> 00:09:03,492 Speaker 2: because it's going to kill some animals that aren't humans. Yeah, 183 00:09:03,533 --> 00:09:05,612 Speaker 2: isn't that kind of crazy? This text would not agree 184 00:09:05,612 --> 00:09:09,892 Speaker 2: with me. Nope, nope, Not a single kiwi should be displaced, 185 00:09:09,973 --> 00:09:12,933 Speaker 2: let alone killed for a motorway. Why are we still 186 00:09:12,973 --> 00:09:16,533 Speaker 2: building roads so people can burn fossil fuels anyway? Actually 187 00:09:16,573 --> 00:09:20,173 Speaker 2: pretty disgusted the government would not move roads for our fauna. 188 00:09:20,612 --> 00:09:21,333 Speaker 2: This is crazy. 189 00:09:22,413 --> 00:09:26,132 Speaker 3: Wow, I mean, so to go on that rationale from 190 00:09:26,132 --> 00:09:30,373 Speaker 3: that texter, you'd spend another couple of billion dollars to 191 00:09:30,453 --> 00:09:32,293 Speaker 3: have the road in an area which is going to 192 00:09:32,293 --> 00:09:35,333 Speaker 3: be incredibly hard to build. Yeah, for the sake of 193 00:09:36,173 --> 00:09:38,333 Speaker 3: a handful of kiwi. Well, it's a hell of an 194 00:09:38,413 --> 00:09:38,973 Speaker 3: argument to make. 195 00:09:39,053 --> 00:09:41,293 Speaker 2: Well, there's a lot of people that are anti road altogether. 196 00:09:41,333 --> 00:09:42,653 Speaker 2: They just think they should be road at all. I'm 197 00:09:42,653 --> 00:09:45,372 Speaker 2: reading Steven Joyce's book At the Moment, it's fantastic read actually, 198 00:09:45,533 --> 00:09:48,453 Speaker 2: and Jesus talks about you know, when you're trying to 199 00:09:48,453 --> 00:09:50,693 Speaker 2: do infrastructure in New Zealand, and that was a week 200 00:09:50,693 --> 00:09:53,213 Speaker 2: while ago. But there are some people whose response to 201 00:09:53,252 --> 00:09:55,252 Speaker 2: you wanting to build roads as no roads. 202 00:09:55,372 --> 00:09:58,253 Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, the more I look into this, you know, 203 00:09:58,293 --> 00:10:01,973 Speaker 3: the argument to me is the Wildlife Protection Act is 204 00:10:02,892 --> 00:10:06,412 Speaker 3: pretty full on in terms of putting wildlife as the priority. 205 00:10:07,453 --> 00:10:11,733 Speaker 3: And we're very proud of our native wildlife here in 206 00:10:11,732 --> 00:10:15,013 Speaker 3: New Zealand and our fauna and florna love them. But 207 00:10:15,813 --> 00:10:19,013 Speaker 3: do we put that do we go to extreme in 208 00:10:19,773 --> 00:10:24,333 Speaker 3: favor of wildlife over progress for our society? And that 209 00:10:24,492 --> 00:10:27,932 Speaker 3: is back to your argument humans over. 210 00:10:28,333 --> 00:10:30,693 Speaker 2: Because I mean, I love a kiwi, but if it 211 00:10:30,732 --> 00:10:34,133 Speaker 2: stops our country more productive as a more productive country 212 00:10:34,213 --> 00:10:38,132 Speaker 2: will mean less suffering for actual humans. Simon your thoughts on. 213 00:10:38,093 --> 00:10:44,453 Speaker 5: This, yeah, well, basically I'm on in two camps because 214 00:10:45,093 --> 00:10:47,813 Speaker 5: we can't decimate the animals and it comes down to 215 00:10:48,132 --> 00:10:51,213 Speaker 5: human nature and we all work for accountants in a 216 00:10:51,252 --> 00:10:56,532 Speaker 5: spreadsheet and not to sacrifice animals purely for profit. 217 00:10:56,973 --> 00:10:59,253 Speaker 6: We've got to have a look at is there a 218 00:10:59,252 --> 00:11:02,732 Speaker 6: better way we can be doing this, and what's proportionate. 219 00:11:02,892 --> 00:11:06,693 Speaker 6: So if you're doing say one hundred million dollar project, 220 00:11:07,413 --> 00:11:10,173 Speaker 6: and to save so species in that area is going 221 00:11:10,252 --> 00:11:14,093 Speaker 6: to add another forty million on it, then that's out 222 00:11:14,093 --> 00:11:17,172 Speaker 6: of proportion. But it's going to cost a one point 223 00:11:17,173 --> 00:11:21,012 Speaker 6: five million out of that one hundred dollars million dollar project, 224 00:11:21,533 --> 00:11:25,573 Speaker 6: and that's quite proportionate. We've got to make those reasonable efforts. 225 00:11:26,053 --> 00:11:28,653 Speaker 2: But would you think that potentially that one point five 226 00:11:28,732 --> 00:11:31,653 Speaker 2: million dollars could do a lot if it's coming out 227 00:11:31,653 --> 00:11:34,813 Speaker 2: of the public purse to help humans? Because there are 228 00:11:34,852 --> 00:11:37,173 Speaker 2: siddinly areas where one point five million would do a lot. 229 00:11:38,453 --> 00:11:40,893 Speaker 6: It kurt, But the ninety eight point five million is 230 00:11:40,892 --> 00:11:42,573 Speaker 6: doing a hell of a lot to help human So 231 00:11:43,933 --> 00:11:46,373 Speaker 6: there in lies the argument. You've got to make some effort. 232 00:11:46,413 --> 00:11:50,293 Speaker 6: You can't just run the bulldozer through and think screw it. 233 00:11:50,612 --> 00:11:56,453 Speaker 6: But the Greenees can't demand that we dedicate a third 234 00:11:56,453 --> 00:12:00,093 Speaker 6: of the budget towards purely conservationianism. 235 00:12:00,612 --> 00:12:03,573 Speaker 2: Simon, do you think there's a hierarchy of animals that 236 00:12:03,732 --> 00:12:07,053 Speaker 2: need to be saved? Would you put the keiwi because 237 00:12:07,053 --> 00:12:10,413 Speaker 2: it's so important to us as a nation above say 238 00:12:11,173 --> 00:12:14,093 Speaker 2: a gecko. Are those kind of considerations important to you. 239 00:12:15,173 --> 00:12:17,053 Speaker 5: Well, this is where they have to have a study, 240 00:12:17,132 --> 00:12:20,132 Speaker 5: and they're like figures that I threw out there, say 241 00:12:20,132 --> 00:12:23,573 Speaker 5: one point five million. I say the first three hundred 242 00:12:23,653 --> 00:12:27,613 Speaker 5: thousand of it is dedicated to a study of how 243 00:12:27,612 --> 00:12:30,252 Speaker 5: many numbers of these animals do we have in the country. 244 00:12:30,453 --> 00:12:31,973 Speaker 5: We're down to our last kiwi. 245 00:12:32,053 --> 00:12:36,093 Speaker 6: Then you can't kill the last kwa in the country. 246 00:12:35,693 --> 00:12:39,013 Speaker 5: You know, Yeah, we're we're down to our last twenty. 247 00:12:39,213 --> 00:12:41,013 Speaker 5: It's proportionate. It's about a legacy. 248 00:12:41,612 --> 00:12:44,453 Speaker 2: Yeah, well I guess, I guess. But something what they're 249 00:12:44,492 --> 00:12:48,133 Speaker 2: not saying is actually killing them. It's being not liable 250 00:12:48,173 --> 00:12:52,453 Speaker 2: for accidentally killing them. And the lords still require ecological 251 00:12:52,492 --> 00:12:55,453 Speaker 2: offsets to protect the wildlife overall, so it might involve 252 00:12:55,533 --> 00:12:58,052 Speaker 2: moving the kiwis rather than killing them. And we're just 253 00:12:58,053 --> 00:13:01,292 Speaker 2: talking about kiwis because as an example, of course, yeah, of. 254 00:13:01,293 --> 00:13:05,333 Speaker 5: Course they can't give one hundred percent guarantee. 255 00:13:04,813 --> 00:13:07,453 Speaker 6: If they're running a border four days and through some land. 256 00:13:08,012 --> 00:13:11,573 Speaker 5: But let's take it the terminus reasonable steps. 257 00:13:11,693 --> 00:13:14,333 Speaker 6: So if you got someone with a bulldozer coming out 258 00:13:14,333 --> 00:13:16,012 Speaker 6: and stomp it on top of the keywi, and he's 259 00:13:16,053 --> 00:13:18,693 Speaker 6: on video, then on their head be it. 260 00:13:18,852 --> 00:13:19,732 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not a good look. 261 00:13:19,933 --> 00:13:23,013 Speaker 2: If there's someone going around kicking kiwis like football's, then 262 00:13:23,173 --> 00:13:24,893 Speaker 2: you know we're going to come after them. But if 263 00:13:24,933 --> 00:13:26,973 Speaker 2: they've made reasonable steps to have a bit of a 264 00:13:27,012 --> 00:13:32,173 Speaker 2: look and do everything you know reasonable and potentially rehouse 265 00:13:32,252 --> 00:13:35,693 Speaker 2: the kiwis where they can, then you're okay with it. 266 00:13:37,012 --> 00:13:39,773 Speaker 5: Yeah, all thinking about how does that? What's the optics 267 00:13:39,852 --> 00:13:42,093 Speaker 5: on the six o'clock news when that story comes out 268 00:13:42,533 --> 00:13:45,093 Speaker 5: and you get some doo gooder, they get a video 269 00:13:45,173 --> 00:13:48,293 Speaker 5: footageure a picture of the dead kiwi on the floor. 270 00:13:49,093 --> 00:13:52,773 Speaker 5: It doesn't relate any part of the story that shows 271 00:13:52,813 --> 00:13:57,493 Speaker 5: the three million dollars in the thirty five other kiwis 272 00:13:57,533 --> 00:14:01,653 Speaker 5: that they saved. They've basically shown an obscure view on 273 00:14:01,693 --> 00:14:02,133 Speaker 5: the news. 274 00:14:02,213 --> 00:14:03,852 Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, thank you for you call Simon. I 275 00:14:03,892 --> 00:14:06,492 Speaker 2: guess it depends what government's in currently whether that would 276 00:14:06,492 --> 00:14:07,732 Speaker 2: make it on the six o'clock news or not. 277 00:14:07,892 --> 00:14:10,813 Speaker 3: Yes, very true, but yeah, when it came to the key, 278 00:14:10,933 --> 00:14:12,813 Speaker 3: it wouldn't be a good look. But that's where why 279 00:14:12,852 --> 00:14:15,293 Speaker 3: it's an emotional argument that if it were some sort 280 00:14:15,293 --> 00:14:18,573 Speaker 3: of obscure worm, would we really care as much? You know, 281 00:14:18,612 --> 00:14:21,213 Speaker 3: it's an emotional argument. The Keywi is a cute, fluffy 282 00:14:21,333 --> 00:14:24,093 Speaker 3: battler in life, and we love it. It's our national icon. 283 00:14:24,133 --> 00:14:27,893 Speaker 3: You know, we backed the keyw But I remember those 284 00:14:27,933 --> 00:14:30,013 Speaker 3: snails on the West coast when they wanted to build 285 00:14:30,013 --> 00:14:33,093 Speaker 3: that mine. And some people freaked out over the snails, 286 00:14:33,133 --> 00:14:35,813 Speaker 3: but most New Zealanders say, wow, do we need them? 287 00:14:35,893 --> 00:14:38,413 Speaker 2: You think it's panda thinking, don't you. Basically you know 288 00:14:38,453 --> 00:14:41,533 Speaker 2: the world wwf as We was putting pictures of pandas 289 00:14:41,613 --> 00:14:43,893 Speaker 2: up and people want to help save pandas because they're cute, 290 00:14:43,933 --> 00:14:46,933 Speaker 2: but they couldn't give a crap about the naked mole rat. 291 00:14:46,773 --> 00:14:49,573 Speaker 3: Exact ugly bang on, bang on, But can you hear 292 00:14:49,613 --> 00:14:51,253 Speaker 3: your thoughts on this?

That's by the by the giant Cody 342 00:17:07,133 --> 00:17:11,333 Speaker 2: snail is quite something. I've got a question right on it. Look, 343 00:17:13,733 --> 00:17:15,933 Speaker 2: I'll postulate this question in just a minute, but first 344 00:17:16,253 --> 00:17:18,373 Speaker 2: let's go to Mia. How are you your thoughts on this. 345 00:17:20,453 --> 00:17:25,053 Speaker 9: I'm probably on the side that I think everything should 346 00:17:25,093 --> 00:17:30,493 Speaker 9: be done to protect the environment where our animals and 347 00:17:30,613 --> 00:17:35,413 Speaker 9: flora exists, because until they go go one, we may 348 00:17:35,413 --> 00:17:38,573 Speaker 9: not know what they actually did to help our environment. 349 00:17:40,493 --> 00:17:46,613 Speaker 9: But just as a side thought, in the UK with motorways, 350 00:17:47,053 --> 00:17:51,893 Speaker 9: do you know they build subway tunnels under the motorway 351 00:17:51,973 --> 00:17:55,893 Speaker 9: so badges and hedgehops and things can move from field 352 00:17:55,893 --> 00:17:58,613 Speaker 9: to field without roofs have been run over. 353 00:17:58,733 --> 00:17:59,693 Speaker 10: So there's a thought. 354 00:18:00,493 --> 00:18:01,333 Speaker 2: It's pretty cute. 355 00:18:01,413 --> 00:18:02,293 Speaker 4: That is very cute. 356 00:18:03,533 --> 00:18:04,813 Speaker 2: It's a cute I know. 357 00:18:04,733 --> 00:18:07,333 Speaker 9: How long it would take the code of snail to 358 00:18:07,373 --> 00:18:08,013 Speaker 9: go under a. 359 00:18:07,933 --> 00:18:12,813 Speaker 3: Tunnel sweeteat little window so people can watch them just 360 00:18:12,813 --> 00:18:14,093 Speaker 3: go about their daily business. 361 00:18:14,293 --> 00:18:16,253 Speaker 2: It's convincing a snail to use the tunnel and not 362 00:18:16,293 --> 00:18:17,733 Speaker 2: go on the road. It's the problem. 363 00:18:17,973 --> 00:18:21,532 Speaker 9: Maybe it's accidental year then no, But I think we 364 00:18:21,573 --> 00:18:23,133 Speaker 9: should do everything we can to. 365 00:18:26,373 --> 00:18:27,973 Speaker 2: I guess you got ask the question though with snails 366 00:18:27,973 --> 00:18:30,293 Speaker 2: are they just idiots? Though? Because I came home from 367 00:18:30,653 --> 00:18:32,373 Speaker 2: in the middle of the night once and I was 368 00:18:32,373 --> 00:18:34,213 Speaker 2: walking down my driveway and the dark, so I not 369 00:18:34,213 --> 00:18:37,213 Speaker 2: wait anyone up and it was crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, 370 00:18:37,253 --> 00:18:38,373 Speaker 2: and I was walking. I was like, what am I 371 00:18:38,373 --> 00:18:40,733 Speaker 2: standing on? So I've got my phone out and turned 372 00:18:40,733 --> 00:18:43,613 Speaker 2: down and it's hor horrible when you realize that. You go, 373 00:18:44,013 --> 00:18:47,893 Speaker 2: I've been crunching snails all and I'm like, you idiot snails. 374 00:18:47,893 --> 00:18:49,973 Speaker 2: Why are there two hundred snails decided to be in 375 00:18:50,053 --> 00:18:52,093 Speaker 2: my driveway when I'm coming home late after a few 376 00:18:52,133 --> 00:18:52,893 Speaker 2: drinks or my mates. 377 00:18:52,933 --> 00:18:54,613 Speaker 3: It's not like they can get out of the way fast. 378 00:18:54,653 --> 00:18:55,773 Speaker 3: You know, You've got to give them a lot of 379 00:18:55,813 --> 00:18:57,693 Speaker 3: time to try and try and run away. 380 00:18:57,813 --> 00:19:00,532 Speaker 2: But my question there if you take it to a 381 00:19:00,533 --> 00:19:03,293 Speaker 2: small economy of my family. If I decided then to 382 00:19:03,293 --> 00:19:06,013 Speaker 2: build a tunnel under that driveway and there's a result 383 00:19:06,053 --> 00:19:09,253 Speaker 2: I couldn't pay to feed my kids, then then I'm 384 00:19:09,693 --> 00:19:11,973 Speaker 2: going to choose the kids over the snails every day. 385 00:19:11,973 --> 00:19:14,373 Speaker 2: And I guess that's what I'm saying when it comes 386 00:19:14,413 --> 00:19:16,253 Speaker 2: to infrastructure in New Zealand, We've got to choose the 387 00:19:16,333 --> 00:19:18,853 Speaker 2: humans over the snails every time. 388 00:19:20,013 --> 00:19:27,253 Speaker 9: Well yeah, sometimes just quickly. 389 00:19:27,293 --> 00:19:29,573 Speaker 3: Mia mentioned in the UK and you would have seen 390 00:19:29,573 --> 00:19:33,813 Speaker 3: this Clarkson's farm where Jeremy wanted to do some He 391 00:19:33,853 --> 00:19:36,293 Speaker 3: wanted to take out some of the animals on his 392 00:19:36,493 --> 00:19:39,013 Speaker 3: farm because there was a high risk that they would 393 00:19:39,013 --> 00:19:43,213 Speaker 3: give his cattle tuberculosis. But then, of course they were 394 00:19:43,493 --> 00:19:48,093 Speaker 3: protected species in the UK, and anything that he tried 395 00:19:48,133 --> 00:19:50,532 Speaker 3: to do, even if it was accidental, he would be 396 00:19:50,613 --> 00:19:53,093 Speaker 3: heavily prosecuted. So he was bugging. He pretty much just 397 00:19:53,133 --> 00:19:55,413 Speaker 3: had to fence that off. They were groundhogs, weren't they. 398 00:19:55,493 --> 00:19:56,413 Speaker 3: I think it was groundhogs. 399 00:19:56,413 --> 00:19:57,173 Speaker 2: I thought they were badges. 400 00:19:57,293 --> 00:19:59,893 Speaker 3: Maybe they're badges. Yeah, I think there was a few species. 401 00:19:59,893 --> 00:20:02,973 Speaker 2: Great show season fours out very. 402 00:20:02,893 --> 00:20:05,893 Speaker 3: Soon, But doesn't that go too far that so because 403 00:20:05,893 --> 00:20:08,532 Speaker 3: there's some badges there, there's a possibility you lose use 404 00:20:08,573 --> 00:20:11,213 Speaker 3: your whole herd because they get to berculosis. But you 405 00:20:11,253 --> 00:20:12,013 Speaker 3: can't do anything. 406 00:20:12,133 --> 00:20:14,413 Speaker 2: Yeah, badges are pretty cool though, I've got to say, 407 00:20:14,453 --> 00:20:16,013 Speaker 2: but they're much bigger than I thought badges. 408 00:20:16,173 --> 00:20:17,373 Speaker 3: Yeah, sizable animal. 409 00:20:18,253 --> 00:20:21,173 Speaker 2: The six says it's bloody ludicrous what they have and 410 00:20:21,253 --> 00:20:24,293 Speaker 2: are spending trying to find a find and save a 411 00:20:24,293 --> 00:20:27,613 Speaker 2: few gecko et cetera. At Mount Messenger, Like Shane Jones said, 412 00:20:27,733 --> 00:20:30,173 Speaker 2: shall we ban the wild pegs and birds from eating them? Too. 413 00:20:30,533 --> 00:20:32,773 Speaker 2: The keys aren't going to hang around once they hear 414 00:20:32,813 --> 00:20:35,573 Speaker 2: a bulldoz of rumbling through. That's from Roscoe. Yeah yeah, 415 00:20:35,613 --> 00:20:37,573 Speaker 2: I mean we're using key as an example, and they 416 00:20:37,613 --> 00:20:41,052 Speaker 2: have been used in this particular situation as well. I mean, 417 00:20:41,093 --> 00:20:43,453 Speaker 2: there are some kiwis in the area, but I mean, 418 00:20:43,653 --> 00:20:46,173 Speaker 2: what kind of kiwi doesn't run off? Yeah, I mean, 419 00:20:46,213 --> 00:20:48,173 Speaker 2: good luck trying to find a kiwi. I spent most 420 00:20:48,173 --> 00:20:50,093 Speaker 2: of my life hoping to see a kiwi and then 421 00:20:50,413 --> 00:20:52,413 Speaker 2: I've only ever seen I've heard them. I've heard them 422 00:20:52,453 --> 00:20:54,173 Speaker 2: in the white takarties, but I've never seen one in 423 00:20:54,173 --> 00:20:57,453 Speaker 2: the wild. I've seen them in captivity. Yeah, but a 424 00:20:57,533 --> 00:20:58,773 Speaker 2: keyw is going to boost, isn't it. 425 00:20:58,933 --> 00:20:59,093 Speaker 11: Yeah? 426 00:20:59,213 --> 00:21:01,373 Speaker 3: Yeah, they don't hang around and that circumstance. Oh wait 427 00:21:01,373 --> 00:21:03,093 Speaker 3: one hundred and eighty ten eighty love to hear your 428 00:21:03,093 --> 00:21:06,573 Speaker 3: thoughts on this one. Humans over wildlife when it comes 429 00:21:06,613 --> 00:21:09,813 Speaker 3: to infrastructure and progress, where do you sit on it? It 430 00:21:09,773 --> 00:21:11,013 Speaker 3: is bang on hup us one. 431 00:21:11,093 --> 00:21:14,812 Speaker 2: And here's my question. There's two buttons. The red button 432 00:21:15,373 --> 00:21:19,173 Speaker 2: kills a human New Zealander you've never met. 433 00:21:19,493 --> 00:21:19,573 Speaker 12: Ye. 434 00:21:20,053 --> 00:21:23,373 Speaker 2: The blue button kills every tarka hay that still lives. 435 00:21:23,733 --> 00:21:27,133 Speaker 2: Oh far out the final Tarka Hay in this country? 436 00:21:28,373 --> 00:21:31,493 Speaker 2: What button do you press?

I really like. 441 00:21:40,173 --> 00:21:41,933 Speaker 2: I think it gets to the root of the question. 442 00:21:42,053 --> 00:21:44,213 Speaker 3: Here can I find any information out about this human 443 00:21:44,533 --> 00:21:46,773 Speaker 3: just just just a few sort of bullet points about 444 00:21:46,813 --> 00:21:50,653 Speaker 3: what they do? You don't know them, nothing, no age, nothing, No. 445 00:21:50,693 --> 00:21:53,613 Speaker 3: That's a tough one. It's not overthink about that. Over 446 00:21:53,653 --> 00:21:54,693 Speaker 3: the headlines. 447 00:21:57,293 --> 00:22:01,493 Speaker 13: US talk headlines with blue bubble taxis it's no trouble 448 00:22:01,533 --> 00:22:04,173 Speaker 13: with a blue bubble.

Where do you sit 467 00:23:17,533 --> 00:23:19,973 Speaker 3: on it? And it's not quite their black and white. 468 00:23:20,293 --> 00:23:23,653 Speaker 3: The situation as it stands is the Minister of Conservation 469 00:23:23,813 --> 00:23:26,493 Speaker 3: wants to return to the status quo where developers, if 470 00:23:26,533 --> 00:23:29,773 Speaker 3: they accidentally killed and protective species wouldn't be prosecuted, but 471 00:23:29,813 --> 00:23:32,933 Speaker 3: they had to make every effort to try and move 472 00:23:32,973 --> 00:23:33,693 Speaker 3: those species on. 473 00:23:33,973 --> 00:23:37,013 Speaker 2: And the question we're asking is should we be human 474 00:23:37,133 --> 00:23:39,653 Speaker 2: first in our thinking? More human first? If a road 475 00:23:39,693 --> 00:23:44,093 Speaker 2: makes it better for humans, shouldn't we just go for it? Now? 476 00:23:44,133 --> 00:23:50,293 Speaker 2: I asked the hypothetical the thought experiment two buttons. Red 477 00:23:50,333 --> 00:23:53,693 Speaker 2: button kills in New Zealander.

If it's a 484 00:24:10,813 --> 00:24:13,453 Speaker 2: New Zealander, the person is probably a loser. Kill them. Well, 485 00:24:13,453 --> 00:24:15,292 Speaker 2: you could argue that the tacker Haes and New Zealander 486 00:24:15,373 --> 00:24:19,893 Speaker 2: as well. Blue every day one for blue. That's one 487 00:24:19,893 --> 00:24:23,292 Speaker 2: for blue. Red for sure. That's liz one death through 488 00:24:23,293 --> 00:24:26,493 Speaker 2: an entire species. This is a no brainer. Mash the 489 00:24:26,533 --> 00:24:29,813 Speaker 2: red button. There's some anti human feeling out there. Red 490 00:24:29,813 --> 00:24:33,013 Speaker 2: button without question or hesitation. Can I press it multiple times? 491 00:24:33,133 --> 00:24:38,173 Speaker 2: Assignment anti and you have a one person in your family? 492 00:24:38,253 --> 00:24:42,253 Speaker 3: Doc, Yeah, you're going. 493 00:24:41,133 --> 00:24:44,133 Speaker 2: This is a crass and irresponsible questions.

This is a show for 501 00:25:06,253 --> 00:25:07,453 Speaker 3: you as well as everybody else. 502 00:25:07,493 --> 00:25:09,653 Speaker 2: I wonder if that red and tied to that texture 503 00:25:10,093 --> 00:25:13,453 Speaker 2: might change my opinion opinion on it. 504 00:25:14,093 --> 00:25:15,853 Speaker 3: Oh, one hundred and eighty ten eighty, love to hear 505 00:25:15,933 --> 00:25:16,573 Speaker 3: your thoughts on it. 506 00:25:16,733 --> 00:25:19,773 Speaker 2: What I don't understand about this? Okay, So I'm going 507 00:25:19,813 --> 00:25:23,933 Speaker 2: to quote the neuroscience Aberget Nuski. You know him, Nuskar, 508 00:25:24,093 --> 00:25:28,093 Speaker 2: Aberget Nuskar. He's a familiar, He's a philosopher. And I'm 509 00:25:28,093 --> 00:25:30,693 Speaker 2: pretty sure I'm getting this right. He said, among eight 510 00:25:30,733 --> 00:25:33,653 Speaker 2: point seven million species, only one has become smart enough 511 00:25:33,693 --> 00:25:37,053 Speaker 2: to ponder the meaning of life, so that one human 512 00:25:37,093 --> 00:25:39,653 Speaker 2: can ponder the meaning of life. Those five hundred Tarka 513 00:25:39,693 --> 00:25:44,133 Speaker 2: Hay can't write yep, taker Hey, can't paint the Sistine Chapel, right, 514 00:25:44,213 --> 00:25:46,133 Speaker 2: I can't write poetry, yep, you know. 515 00:25:46,813 --> 00:25:50,133 Speaker 3: But the beautiful looking birds and I'm sure they do something, 516 00:25:50,173 --> 00:25:52,493 Speaker 3: you know, like all. 517 00:25:51,653 --> 00:25:55,133 Speaker 2: Right, Scott, your thoughts on this? Not necessarily the thought experiment, 518 00:25:55,173 --> 00:26:01,333 Speaker 2: but they're wider question about infrastructure and and our wildlife. 519 00:26:03,653 --> 00:26:05,973 Speaker 8: There's a there's a couple of things I'll take on 520 00:26:05,973 --> 00:26:09,893 Speaker 8: this one. Obviously, sweep the wherever you're going to take 521 00:26:09,933 --> 00:26:12,573 Speaker 8: out bush, for example, if there is to be native 522 00:26:13,133 --> 00:26:17,733 Speaker 8: birds or snails, whatever it might be, give it a 523 00:26:17,733 --> 00:26:21,453 Speaker 8: sweep first, you know, before obviously everyone turns up. You 524 00:26:21,533 --> 00:26:25,053 Speaker 8: have your minders turn up, and you know, while the 525 00:26:25,053 --> 00:26:28,173 Speaker 8: boys are doing their work, to penalize them while they're 526 00:26:28,213 --> 00:26:30,973 Speaker 8: working for hitting something or whatever it might be is 527 00:26:31,893 --> 00:26:34,533 Speaker 8: you know, that's not on They're just doing their job 528 00:26:34,573 --> 00:26:36,133 Speaker 8: at the end of the day. And if a minder 529 00:26:36,213 --> 00:26:38,413 Speaker 8: or the sweepers didn't see it the first time, then 530 00:26:38,813 --> 00:26:41,213 Speaker 8: so be it. You know, it's just a colatteral damage 531 00:26:41,213 --> 00:26:45,493 Speaker 8: if you like. We cannot stop progress. If we do 532 00:26:45,733 --> 00:26:50,253 Speaker 8: our country as a nation, we'll go backwards. We will 533 00:26:50,413 --> 00:26:52,213 Speaker 8: not be able to keep up with the rest of 534 00:26:52,253 --> 00:26:54,693 Speaker 8: the world. And we want tourists to come to this country. 535 00:26:54,853 --> 00:26:57,093 Speaker 8: We want about to get them around the country safely 536 00:26:57,133 --> 00:27:01,373 Speaker 8: and effectively, and also ourselves and also commerce. Now we 537 00:27:01,453 --> 00:27:04,653 Speaker 8: need to build more roads, for example, to attach ourselves 538 00:27:04,733 --> 00:27:07,253 Speaker 8: to the National Highway running down the middle of the country. 539 00:27:07,573 --> 00:27:10,013 Speaker 8: It needs to be four lane and go over to Todonger. 540 00:27:10,613 --> 00:27:12,812 Speaker 8: I believe that State hi Wan also needs to be 541 00:27:12,853 --> 00:27:15,973 Speaker 8: moved off off Desert Road and down State HIWII four 542 00:27:16,053 --> 00:27:21,093 Speaker 8: which has far less closures, and we'll have less less 543 00:27:21,133 --> 00:27:24,853 Speaker 8: impact on the country for freight and transport if we 544 00:27:24,893 --> 00:27:26,613 Speaker 8: went over that way and had a four lane and 545 00:27:26,653 --> 00:27:30,053 Speaker 8: that ran all the way down to Wellington. Now also in. 546 00:27:29,973 --> 00:27:32,773 Speaker 14: That chat, you know, you say, oh you count can we. 547 00:27:32,773 --> 00:27:34,133 Speaker 4: Afford all this well? 548 00:27:34,173 --> 00:27:36,572 Speaker 8: I believe the shared model that National have come up 549 00:27:36,613 --> 00:27:39,053 Speaker 8: with is actually a feasible one where we have the 550 00:27:40,013 --> 00:27:44,653 Speaker 8: overseas companies come in and invest obviously, or you toll it. 551 00:27:44,893 --> 00:27:47,733 Speaker 8: That's another discussion to be had on top of this one, 552 00:27:47,733 --> 00:27:49,253 Speaker 8: but they're all sort of intolinked. 553 00:27:49,733 --> 00:27:51,173 Speaker 2: I believe the country. 554 00:27:50,853 --> 00:27:53,653 Speaker 8: Needs to look forward and it needs to move fast, 555 00:27:53,853 --> 00:27:57,213 Speaker 8: and to do this we need a model that works 556 00:27:57,253 --> 00:28:00,373 Speaker 8: for everyone. And if those little snails happen to be 557 00:28:00,413 --> 00:28:05,173 Speaker 8: in the way while the excavator is going through, that's unlucky. 558 00:28:05,373 --> 00:28:09,133 Speaker 8: But if they got swept first, then fair enough will 559 00:28:09,133 --> 00:28:14,333 Speaker 8: move them. They'll build new homes, but trust me, they'll adapt. 560 00:28:14,933 --> 00:28:17,093 Speaker 8: And I believe the way that roads are built now 561 00:28:17,333 --> 00:28:21,493 Speaker 8: with the way that they construct them and also have 562 00:28:22,253 --> 00:28:25,053 Speaker 8: you know take care of Fishy Mountain Messenger. The work 563 00:28:25,093 --> 00:28:27,333 Speaker 8: that's been done to look after the environment in that 564 00:28:27,453 --> 00:28:32,813 Speaker 8: area is really really quite amazing. The crane sorry if 565 00:28:32,853 --> 00:28:36,453 Speaker 8: you like, the flying fox bringing all the machinery into 566 00:28:36,493 --> 00:28:39,133 Speaker 8: the bush, you know, so they have less impact on 567 00:28:39,173 --> 00:28:42,453 Speaker 8: the environment is really quite amazing. Guys, have a bit 568 00:28:42,453 --> 00:28:46,373 Speaker 8: of a look on the NSTA website and the flyover. 569 00:28:46,413 --> 00:28:50,333 Speaker 8: It's pretty impressive stuff. And that road will save well 570 00:28:50,453 --> 00:28:53,453 Speaker 8: one will save lives for putting that new road in. 571 00:28:53,933 --> 00:28:56,093 Speaker 8: It's extremely hard for the trucks to get up and 572 00:28:56,133 --> 00:28:58,493 Speaker 8: around and through the tunnel. We have to stop to 573 00:28:58,613 --> 00:29:02,493 Speaker 8: let them go right round through the tunnel because they 574 00:29:02,653 --> 00:29:05,613 Speaker 8: take both sides of the road. It's extremely dangerous. So 575 00:29:05,933 --> 00:29:08,453 Speaker 8: it needs to happen. We need to move for what 576 00:29:08,613 --> 00:29:10,773 Speaker 8: is a country. And if some snails get in the way, 577 00:29:10,893 --> 00:29:11,893 Speaker 8: I'm sorry. 578 00:29:12,253 --> 00:29:15,253 Speaker 2: Well what about so how far up though, like you know, 579 00:29:15,373 --> 00:29:18,413 Speaker 2: snails maybe, but doesn't matter what particular species it is. 580 00:29:18,453 --> 00:29:22,973 Speaker 2: If it's displacing, let's just say all the tarka Hae 581 00:29:22,973 --> 00:29:24,933 Speaker 2: and New zealandks I've been using it as example, live 582 00:29:25,013 --> 00:29:27,093 Speaker 2: in that area and they all have to be displaced. 583 00:29:27,173 --> 00:29:30,013 Speaker 2: Is there is there a level that you would that 584 00:29:30,093 --> 00:29:30,933 Speaker 2: you would balance it on. 585 00:29:32,293 --> 00:29:34,333 Speaker 5: I'm sure there are other places that they could like. 586 00:29:34,533 --> 00:29:37,133 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean that the law. The law would 587 00:29:37,133 --> 00:29:40,573 Speaker 2: still require ecological offsets to protect the wildlife overall. But 588 00:29:41,413 --> 00:29:43,333 Speaker 2: I guess the thing is, and even if we have 589 00:29:43,573 --> 00:29:47,693 Speaker 2: these these models where with foreign investment coming and there's 590 00:29:47,693 --> 00:29:49,453 Speaker 2: still we still have to pay back the debt on it. 591 00:29:49,813 --> 00:29:52,533 Speaker 2: And so when you spend more for a piece of infrastructure, 592 00:29:52,573 --> 00:29:55,533 Speaker 2: and you accept this infrastructure will increase productivity and therefore 593 00:29:55,573 --> 00:29:58,893 Speaker 2: more money coming in. But also if you spend more 594 00:29:58,933 --> 00:30:01,573 Speaker 2: on the infrastructure, that money has to come from somewhere, 595 00:30:01,613 --> 00:30:03,613 Speaker 2: and we only have a limit amount of money. So 596 00:30:03,933 --> 00:30:09,133 Speaker 2: you could argue that directly by taking into account overly 597 00:30:09,173 --> 00:30:12,933 Speaker 2: tak into account the needs of a kiwi. You're you 598 00:30:13,013 --> 00:30:15,213 Speaker 2: might not have that money even if it's twenty million 599 00:30:15,253 --> 00:30:18,013 Speaker 2: dollars that you could spend with farmac or you could 600 00:30:18,013 --> 00:30:22,093 Speaker 2: spend on surgery, because we don't we are borrowing money 601 00:30:22,133 --> 00:30:25,213 Speaker 2: right now exactly. So it is a it is a 602 00:30:25,253 --> 00:30:28,893 Speaker 2: real humans versus wildlife situation going on. Would you agree, 603 00:30:28,933 --> 00:30:31,213 Speaker 2: Scott absolutely? 604 00:30:31,413 --> 00:30:34,213 Speaker 5: And you raise very good points there. You scratch ahead 605 00:30:34,213 --> 00:30:34,493 Speaker 5: at some. 606 00:30:34,453 --> 00:30:36,333 Speaker 8: Of the things the government spend money on when you think, 607 00:30:36,333 --> 00:30:38,773 Speaker 8: well that was just why did we do that? You know, 608 00:30:38,853 --> 00:30:43,093 Speaker 8: feasibility studies are a great one. But yeah, I believe 609 00:30:43,133 --> 00:30:43,533 Speaker 8: you're right. 610 00:30:43,773 --> 00:30:45,853 Speaker 5: I think you can't go silly on it. 611 00:30:46,413 --> 00:30:48,613 Speaker 8: I believe you you really do need to just go 612 00:30:48,693 --> 00:30:50,653 Speaker 8: in there, give it a sweep. Okay, Yet we've got 613 00:30:50,693 --> 00:30:53,733 Speaker 8: seven you know, kiwi and some bat Okay, we're going 614 00:30:53,773 --> 00:30:56,693 Speaker 8: to relocate those. Let's do that, move them on and 615 00:30:56,733 --> 00:30:59,453 Speaker 8: then just get into it right. And if mind if 616 00:30:59,493 --> 00:31:01,933 Speaker 8: a guy standing there, you know, with a high design 617 00:31:01,973 --> 00:31:04,733 Speaker 8: and a helmet sees a kiwi there, Scott work moved 618 00:31:04,733 --> 00:31:06,573 Speaker 8: the kiwi and finding her home for it. 619 00:31:06,773 --> 00:31:09,253 Speaker 15: If it gets run over, that's a shame. 620 00:31:09,653 --> 00:31:09,853 Speaker 16: You know. 621 00:31:10,013 --> 00:31:13,373 Speaker 8: Oh man, you watch tex machines go nuts. But you 622 00:31:13,413 --> 00:31:16,413 Speaker 8: know what I mean, we cannot keep stopping because you're 623 00:31:16,453 --> 00:31:19,333 Speaker 8: dead right. It's just going to cost a fortune and 624 00:31:19,373 --> 00:31:21,173 Speaker 8: you're going to You're not going. 625 00:31:21,013 --> 00:31:21,333 Speaker 4: To do it. 626 00:31:21,333 --> 00:31:23,333 Speaker 17: You're not going to complete it's spend too much money 627 00:31:23,413 --> 00:31:24,413 Speaker 17: on snails. 628 00:31:24,613 --> 00:31:26,373 Speaker 8: About that one of the South Iowand guys where they 629 00:31:26,373 --> 00:31:28,733 Speaker 8: went and pulled the snails out and then they put 630 00:31:28,773 --> 00:31:30,933 Speaker 8: them in the chiller and then had it too cold 631 00:31:30,933 --> 00:31:31,693 Speaker 8: and killed them all. 632 00:31:32,013 --> 00:31:35,093 Speaker 3: Yeah, that was I hadn't look on. Some of the 633 00:31:35,213 --> 00:31:37,853 Speaker 3: stands are doing well now that they're okay a new home, 634 00:31:37,853 --> 00:31:39,213 Speaker 3: but yeah, those ones and the Freds was not a 635 00:31:39,253 --> 00:31:39,653 Speaker 3: good look. 636 00:31:39,733 --> 00:31:39,893 Speaker 1: Well. 637 00:31:39,893 --> 00:31:41,613 Speaker 2: One of the great cock ups of all time is 638 00:31:42,173 --> 00:31:44,133 Speaker 2: what island was that? Someone will tell me where they 639 00:31:44,893 --> 00:31:48,373 Speaker 2: were trying to cull the pool kick or to you know, 640 00:31:48,413 --> 00:31:50,613 Speaker 2: make it easier for the taker Hay to live. And 641 00:31:50,653 --> 00:31:53,213 Speaker 2: they went over there and got confused because tacker Hay 642 00:31:53,213 --> 00:31:57,253 Speaker 2: and Porkicko looked very similar. Basically, take looks like a fatter, 643 00:31:57,333 --> 00:32:00,693 Speaker 2: poor kicko and they shot twenty five and there's only 644 00:32:00,733 --> 00:32:03,933 Speaker 2: five hundred. Hey, but Scott, this is an interesting question. 645 00:32:04,013 --> 00:32:05,853 Speaker 2: So you talk about infrastructure, But I was down in 646 00:32:05,933 --> 00:32:09,653 Speaker 2: Littleton for the sale GP when tire day was held 647 00:32:09,733 --> 00:32:13,173 Speaker 2: up because someone record they'd seen a Hect's dolphin in 648 00:32:13,213 --> 00:32:16,693 Speaker 2: the area. What about when it comes to something like recreation. 649 00:32:17,093 --> 00:32:20,533 Speaker 2: I mean, you could argue that the SALGP was bringing 650 00:32:20,533 --> 00:32:22,173 Speaker 2: a lot of money into Littleton and they're never going 651 00:32:22,213 --> 00:32:25,573 Speaker 2: back there again. But what about that when it becomes 652 00:32:25,773 --> 00:32:29,933 Speaker 2: more of a sporting fixture than an ongoing infrastructure situation. 653 00:32:31,333 --> 00:32:33,373 Speaker 8: Yeah, that's an interesting one you raise, and that's probably 654 00:32:33,413 --> 00:32:35,853 Speaker 8: a whole another topic, isn't it, because it becomes more 655 00:32:35,853 --> 00:32:38,293 Speaker 8: of a you know, we would like to have versus 656 00:32:38,333 --> 00:32:42,053 Speaker 8: with the country needs situation. I mean, that's no disrespect 657 00:32:42,093 --> 00:32:45,293 Speaker 8: to the little littleton businesses, because you know they would 658 00:32:45,293 --> 00:32:47,573 Speaker 8: have loved it, especially after COVID and everything. That would 659 00:32:47,573 --> 00:32:50,533 Speaker 8: have been a really good cash injection. So it's an 660 00:32:50,573 --> 00:32:54,293 Speaker 8: interesting one, you raise. It didn't need a balancing point. 661 00:32:54,333 --> 00:32:57,413 Speaker 8: I think versus that sort of situation, I would have 662 00:32:57,493 --> 00:33:00,453 Speaker 8: thought you could have almost put like a nesting down 663 00:33:00,573 --> 00:33:02,133 Speaker 8: like they have in the Gold Coast to keep the 664 00:33:02,133 --> 00:33:05,613 Speaker 8: sharks away from you swimming, you know, so you know, 665 00:33:05,693 --> 00:33:07,733 Speaker 8: that would have probably been a better option. I just 666 00:33:07,733 --> 00:33:10,093 Speaker 8: think they probably needed to investigate how they could have 667 00:33:10,133 --> 00:33:11,613 Speaker 8: done that better. You know. 668 00:33:11,853 --> 00:33:15,333 Speaker 2: Their point was that it never hit any wildlife either, 669 00:33:15,373 --> 00:33:16,893 Speaker 2: and they don't think it was even a thing that 670 00:33:16,893 --> 00:33:20,933 Speaker 2: would happen. But anyway, there was interesting balances between what 671 00:33:20,973 --> 00:33:23,413 Speaker 2: the wildlife is, how much damage it does, and what 672 00:33:23,493 --> 00:33:27,893 Speaker 2: the particular themes, well, what the particular thing you're wanting 673 00:33:27,933 --> 00:33:30,093 Speaker 2: to do. But yeah, hey, thank you so much for 674 00:33:30,093 --> 00:33:31,453 Speaker 2: you call, Scott. I really appreciate that. 675 00:33:31,533 --> 00:33:34,093 Speaker 3: Now, thank you very much, Scott. Now after a play 676 00:33:34,133 --> 00:33:36,373 Speaker 3: some messages I just want to run through. There was 677 00:33:36,413 --> 00:33:38,893 Speaker 3: an algorithm that the Department of Conservation put together in 678 00:33:38,933 --> 00:33:41,693 Speaker 3: twenty eighteen. So they put together a priority list of 679 00:33:41,733 --> 00:33:44,693 Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty species that were going to try 680 00:33:44,733 --> 00:33:47,413 Speaker 3: and save. These were endangered species. And I want to 681 00:33:47,493 --> 00:33:50,013 Speaker 3: run through some of those species and you can tell 682 00:33:50,053 --> 00:33:52,573 Speaker 3: me whether they put that on the list or not. Okay, 683 00:33:52,653 --> 00:33:54,493 Speaker 3: how far are the less on priorities they put it? 684 00:33:55,453 --> 00:33:57,693 Speaker 2: This person says, people say there's other place for takahe 685 00:33:57,813 --> 00:34:00,653 Speaker 2: to go, but the territorial boo kick ors. You see 686 00:34:00,693 --> 00:34:03,373 Speaker 2: them continue to stay around building sites and roads. They 687 00:34:03,373 --> 00:34:05,493 Speaker 2: get killed by crossing the roads. Not advocating for them, 688 00:34:05,533 --> 00:34:09,812 Speaker 2: just stating a fact for people. Scott, Yeah, I mean 689 00:34:09,853 --> 00:34:12,212 Speaker 2: there's annoying things about animals like that you're trying to 690 00:34:12,213 --> 00:34:14,253 Speaker 2: save them. I mean, God, anyone that's been involved in 691 00:34:14,293 --> 00:34:16,493 Speaker 2: trying to refloat a whale. Yeah, you know, I'm trying 692 00:34:16,493 --> 00:34:17,133 Speaker 2: to save you. Mate. 693 00:34:17,133 --> 00:34:18,373 Speaker 3: They don't do themselves any favor. 694 00:34:18,413 --> 00:34:19,373 Speaker 2: And then you're beaching again. 695 00:34:19,493 --> 00:34:21,853 Speaker 3: Yeah, come on, mate, we're trying to help you, help 696 00:34:21,973 --> 00:34:25,053 Speaker 3: us survive for goodness sake, it help help us, help you, 697 00:34:25,133 --> 00:34:28,333 Speaker 3: Tucker Exactly. It is fourteen to two. 698 00:34:29,653 --> 00:34:32,013 Speaker 1: The issues that affect you and a bit of fun 699 00:34:32,093 --> 00:34:36,133 Speaker 1: along the way. Matt Heath and Taylor Adams afternoons News Talk. 700 00:34:35,973 --> 00:34:39,013 Speaker 3: Said, be very good afternoon to you. So you found 701 00:34:39,013 --> 00:34:41,493 Speaker 3: that story. But the accidental shooting of protected tarker. 702 00:34:41,293 --> 00:34:44,333 Speaker 2: Ha, Yeah, this was back in twenty fifteen. Critically engaged 703 00:34:44,253 --> 00:34:47,733 Speaker 2: in taker hair shot in case of mistaken identity, members 704 00:34:47,733 --> 00:34:50,893 Speaker 2: of the doorst deer Stalker's Association have shot four critically 705 00:34:50,893 --> 00:34:54,093 Speaker 2: engaged tacker hair while carrying out a cul of pul 706 00:34:54,133 --> 00:34:58,093 Speaker 2: kick or on Motutapu Island and the Hodaki Golf The 707 00:34:58,133 --> 00:35:02,013 Speaker 2: Deaf set forth the Contpartment of Conversation Conservation to put 708 00:35:02,013 --> 00:35:04,613 Speaker 2: an immediate holt to coloring operations near the threatened species. 709 00:35:04,613 --> 00:35:07,413 Speaker 2: Look in the dear Stalker's Association's defense that were going 710 00:35:07,493 --> 00:35:10,813 Speaker 2: over there to kill the pul kick or to help 711 00:35:10,853 --> 00:35:14,893 Speaker 2: the Tarka hay. They look so similar, very similar coloring, 712 00:35:15,213 --> 00:35:19,133 Speaker 2: very similar coloringavage. The Tarka hay is a lot fatter. 713 00:35:19,933 --> 00:35:22,013 Speaker 2: The island is a protected pest three a haven for 714 00:35:22,053 --> 00:35:25,333 Speaker 2: indagered bird species, and twenty of the critically indangered birds 715 00:35:25,333 --> 00:35:28,853 Speaker 2: were relocated to the island. So that boy, that would 716 00:35:28,853 --> 00:35:31,013 Speaker 2: have been a what a cock up so you go 717 00:35:31,133 --> 00:35:33,973 Speaker 2: tobarrassing and you've killed one percent of the entire population 718 00:35:34,053 --> 00:35:34,613 Speaker 2: of targai. 719 00:35:34,893 --> 00:35:37,533 Speaker 3: Yeah, trying to save them, but from fifty meters away, 720 00:35:37,533 --> 00:35:40,973 Speaker 3: you're right, I mean it's pretty hard to tell the difference. Hey, now, 721 00:35:41,013 --> 00:35:46,613 Speaker 3: I mentioned quickly before. So in twenty seventeen, the Department 722 00:35:46,653 --> 00:35:49,813 Speaker 3: of Conservation had to figure out what indagered species to 723 00:35:49,853 --> 00:35:51,692 Speaker 3: save because there's only so much to go around. Okay, 724 00:35:51,733 --> 00:35:54,133 Speaker 3: So they had an algorithm and they tried to figure 725 00:35:54,173 --> 00:35:56,133 Speaker 3: out what species they were going to try and save 726 00:35:56,413 --> 00:35:58,213 Speaker 3: based on a raft of criteria. So I'm going to 727 00:35:58,293 --> 00:35:59,893 Speaker 3: run through some of those species for you and you 728 00:35:59,933 --> 00:36:01,813 Speaker 3: tell me whether you think they saved them or not. 729 00:36:02,093 --> 00:36:05,333 Speaker 3: The Chatham oyster catcher, only found in the Chatham Islands, 730 00:36:05,333 --> 00:36:07,772 Speaker 3: only around three hundred birds remained. Made it or didn't 731 00:36:07,773 --> 00:36:10,333 Speaker 3: make it? Make it that made it? 732 00:36:10,413 --> 00:36:12,172 Speaker 2: Yeah, three hundred. 733 00:36:12,413 --> 00:36:16,013 Speaker 3: Coupe's grass moth one of New Zealand's roughly fourteen hundred 734 00:36:16,093 --> 00:36:18,933 Speaker 3: endemic moth species. It is only found in sand dunes 735 00:36:19,373 --> 00:36:21,773 Speaker 3: in a spit in Canterbury. Made it or made it? 736 00:36:21,813 --> 00:36:22,493 Speaker 2: Didn't make it? 737 00:36:23,013 --> 00:36:24,973 Speaker 3: Being on now, it didn't like the Kupe's moth. 738 00:36:25,333 --> 00:36:26,773 Speaker 2: When I was growing up, my sister told me that 739 00:36:26,813 --> 00:36:28,853 Speaker 2: moths bite you. She was lying, but it freaked me 740 00:36:28,853 --> 00:36:30,813 Speaker 2: out and made me run down the hall terrified as 741 00:36:30,813 --> 00:36:31,853 Speaker 2: a child. So I've never liked moths. 742 00:36:31,893 --> 00:36:35,373 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, that's fair enough. Then Hamilton's frog and endemic 743 00:36:35,413 --> 00:36:38,653 Speaker 3: frog once widespread, but now most of the global population 744 00:36:39,053 --> 00:36:42,213 Speaker 3: are done for and only a few hundred frogs remain 745 00:36:42,573 --> 00:36:43,213 Speaker 3: in New Zealand. 746 00:36:43,893 --> 00:36:46,893 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're global. Then her kires one, rocky outcrog on 747 00:36:46,933 --> 00:36:48,853 Speaker 2: an island and cook straight. So did they keep the frog? 748 00:36:49,333 --> 00:36:51,853 Speaker 3: What do you reckon? Would you keep the Hamilton's frog? 749 00:36:51,973 --> 00:36:52,133 Speaker 11: Nah? 750 00:36:52,253 --> 00:36:53,533 Speaker 2: Let someone else sort it out overseas? 751 00:36:53,573 --> 00:36:56,613 Speaker 3: All right, you don't think it, but should have made it. Yeah, 752 00:36:56,613 --> 00:36:58,453 Speaker 3: it didn't make it. They don't make it. Didn't care 753 00:36:58,493 --> 00:37:00,733 Speaker 3: about the Hamilton's frog, but there so you got to 754 00:37:00,773 --> 00:37:03,373 Speaker 3: make choices about what you actually care about. Well, you 755 00:37:03,413 --> 00:37:04,213 Speaker 3: can't save everything. 756 00:37:04,333 --> 00:37:06,252 Speaker 2: Yeah, well we do that with humans, don't we look 757 00:37:06,253 --> 00:37:08,933 Speaker 2: at farmac? Very true, Tony, welcome to are your thoughts 758 00:37:08,933 --> 00:37:09,133 Speaker 2: on this? 759 00:37:10,333 --> 00:37:10,533 Speaker 11: Yeah? 760 00:37:10,573 --> 00:37:14,333 Speaker 18: Well I have to start by saying that I love roads. 761 00:37:14,413 --> 00:37:16,692 Speaker 18: I want more roads. I can't get up and down 762 00:37:16,693 --> 00:37:19,973 Speaker 18: the country to see gigs without roads, and the better 763 00:37:20,053 --> 00:37:23,533 Speaker 18: they are, the faster I can go. So having said that, 764 00:37:24,893 --> 00:37:27,893 Speaker 18: I did a quick google and key we are endangered. 765 00:37:29,893 --> 00:37:32,413 Speaker 18: So on the one hand, we've got dock and forest 766 00:37:32,453 --> 00:37:36,812 Speaker 18: and bird spending shiploads what's considerable amounts of money allow 767 00:37:36,893 --> 00:37:42,773 Speaker 18: that to save them and to breed them in captivity. 768 00:37:42,853 --> 00:37:45,413 Speaker 18: And then on the other hand, we've got these other books. 769 00:37:45,573 --> 00:37:48,813 Speaker 18: They're going to potentially just bowl a whole lot. I 770 00:37:48,933 --> 00:37:51,293 Speaker 18: kind of like the Corner a few back who said, 771 00:37:51,613 --> 00:37:54,533 Speaker 18: you know, get people into sweep the area of first 772 00:37:55,053 --> 00:37:56,573 Speaker 18: and I think that's forest. 773 00:37:56,253 --> 00:37:58,413 Speaker 2: And bird that's all part of it. So that's definitely 774 00:37:58,453 --> 00:38:01,693 Speaker 2: going to happen. And basically this law is trying to 775 00:38:01,693 --> 00:38:04,133 Speaker 2: protect people to say if you accidentally kill them, So 776 00:38:04,533 --> 00:38:06,413 Speaker 2: they're not going to just bowl through. They're going to 777 00:38:06,453 --> 00:38:09,493 Speaker 2: get people to go in there and require ecological offsets 778 00:38:09,533 --> 00:38:11,973 Speaker 2: to protect the wildlife overall. So they will do that, Tony. 779 00:38:12,333 --> 00:38:14,213 Speaker 2: There's no one, no one suggesting that they don't go 780 00:38:14,253 --> 00:38:16,533 Speaker 2: through and try and try and do their best to 781 00:38:16,613 --> 00:38:18,413 Speaker 2: move anything on that they can. 782 00:38:19,373 --> 00:38:21,373 Speaker 18: Yeah, but you know that old story. How do you 783 00:38:21,413 --> 00:38:23,973 Speaker 18: know politician's lying is mouth's moving. 784 00:38:25,773 --> 00:38:27,613 Speaker 2: So how many key we do you think there are 785 00:38:29,053 --> 00:38:31,252 Speaker 2: in New Zealand? How many key in total do you think, 786 00:38:31,253 --> 00:38:31,773 Speaker 2: Tony just. 787 00:38:31,733 --> 00:38:38,053 Speaker 18: To guess, oh, I guess five hundred, six hundred. I 788 00:38:38,093 --> 00:38:38,813 Speaker 18: don't really know. 789 00:38:39,373 --> 00:38:42,573 Speaker 2: There are currently sixty. 790 00:38:42,293 --> 00:38:44,293 Speaker 18: Are going to tell me soth sixty. 791 00:38:44,013 --> 00:38:45,733 Speaker 2: Eight thousand kiwis we have in New Zealand. 792 00:38:45,733 --> 00:38:49,893 Speaker 18: Okay, Well, anyway, I still don't want to lose any 793 00:38:49,933 --> 00:38:52,013 Speaker 18: of them.

Mate, are 841 00:41:08,973 --> 00:41:11,133 Speaker 3: very good. Right, let's have a chat about the Pope. 842 00:41:11,533 --> 00:41:16,413 Speaker 3: The conclave is underway as we speak, very mysterious, very cool. 843 00:41:16,653 --> 00:41:19,333 Speaker 3: As we learnt a little bit earlier today, they haven't 844 00:41:19,653 --> 00:41:22,533 Speaker 3: elected a new pope yet. Black smoke means no pope 845 00:41:22,773 --> 00:41:25,813 Speaker 3: and white smoke means pope. Yeah, white, white smoke means pope. 846 00:41:25,853 --> 00:41:26,453 Speaker 3: That isn't easy. 847 00:41:26,533 --> 00:41:29,093 Speaker 2: Yeah, black smoke, no Pope, white smoke Pope. Yeah, so 848 00:41:29,253 --> 00:41:31,732 Speaker 2: still black smoke. So they're in the Sistine Chapel right now. 849 00:41:31,773 --> 00:41:33,172 Speaker 2: The conclave voting. 850 00:41:33,173 --> 00:41:36,413 Speaker 3: Only have one per day. I believe one voting session 851 00:41:36,453 --> 00:41:40,053 Speaker 3: per day. It took two days to elect Pope Francis 852 00:41:40,133 --> 00:41:42,573 Speaker 3: last time they had to do this thirteen years ago. 853 00:41:43,253 --> 00:41:45,373 Speaker 3: But we want to take the conversation a little bit 854 00:41:45,373 --> 00:41:47,573 Speaker 3: wider than who you think the next Pope is going 855 00:41:47,613 --> 00:41:49,373 Speaker 3: to be. I don't actually know any of the names 856 00:41:49,373 --> 00:41:51,693 Speaker 3: that are up for contention. We will go through that 857 00:41:51,773 --> 00:41:54,933 Speaker 3: as the hour continues. But what do you want to 858 00:41:54,933 --> 00:41:57,613 Speaker 3: see in the Pope and how important is the pope 859 00:41:57,613 --> 00:41:58,373 Speaker 3: and modern times? 860 00:41:58,453 --> 00:42:01,013 Speaker 2: Yeah? How as where does the Pope sit in terms 861 00:42:01,013 --> 00:42:03,373 Speaker 2: of world leaders in twenty twenty five? If you're Catholic, 862 00:42:03,733 --> 00:42:05,133 Speaker 2: what do you want to see from this new pope? 863 00:42:05,133 --> 00:42:06,453 Speaker 2: If you're not Catholic, what do you want to see 864 00:42:06,453 --> 00:42:09,333 Speaker 2: from this new pope? Because the Pope Hope, it does 865 00:42:09,373 --> 00:42:10,653 Speaker 2: have a huge influence on the world. 866 00:42:10,693 --> 00:42:11,253 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 867 00:42:11,293 --> 00:42:14,333 Speaker 2: I mean last time accounted, there was over a billion 868 00:42:14,333 --> 00:42:17,573 Speaker 2: Catholics in the world. Yeah, and the Pope speaks to 869 00:42:17,693 --> 00:42:18,772 Speaker 2: us directly to them. 870 00:42:18,973 --> 00:42:21,652 Speaker 3: Huge influence. Yeah, absolutely, I'm gonna say I quite like 871 00:42:21,693 --> 00:42:24,573 Speaker 3: Pope Francis. I thought Pope Francis was a good pope. 872 00:42:24,613 --> 00:42:27,613 Speaker 3: Initially he was controversial, where as many of the popes are, 873 00:42:27,893 --> 00:42:30,613 Speaker 3: But I thought he was a very good pope. Yeah, 874 00:42:30,613 --> 00:42:32,453 Speaker 3: but it will be interesting to see which way they go. 875 00:42:32,613 --> 00:42:35,173 Speaker 3: I mean they went for someone who was considered a 876 00:42:35,213 --> 00:42:37,973 Speaker 3: little bit more liberal with Pope Francis the one the 877 00:42:38,013 --> 00:42:40,533 Speaker 3: pope before him, Pope Benedict, certainly wasn't liberal. He was 878 00:42:40,653 --> 00:42:41,293 Speaker 3: very conservative. 879 00:42:41,453 --> 00:42:45,173 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm more of a pope pious. The ninth the 880 00:42:45,173 --> 00:42:50,853 Speaker 2: longest papacy. He defined the immaculate conception and people infallibility. 881 00:42:50,933 --> 00:42:52,733 Speaker 3: That's a good legacy. How long was he pope for? 882 00:42:52,773 --> 00:42:54,173 Speaker 3: If he was the longest pope, how long was he 883 00:42:54,173 --> 00:42:54,333 Speaker 3: there for? 884 00:42:54,533 --> 00:42:56,173 Speaker 2: He was there for a while. Yeah, I guess you 885 00:42:56,213 --> 00:42:59,293 Speaker 2: got to say Saint Peter was the most legit pope, 886 00:42:59,293 --> 00:43:01,652 Speaker 2: wasn't he the first one? Because he actually used to 887 00:43:01,653 --> 00:43:04,493 Speaker 2: power around with Jesus himself the og. Yes, it's hard 888 00:43:04,533 --> 00:43:06,173 Speaker 2: to beat the og. It's hard to be better than 889 00:43:06,173 --> 00:43:08,333 Speaker 2: Saint Peter. But you know, it is twenty twenty five 890 00:43:08,653 --> 00:43:11,293 Speaker 2: and things have changed, and there's been you know, various 891 00:43:11,293 --> 00:43:15,053 Speaker 2: controversies in the Catholic Church and various rubbing up against 892 00:43:15,373 --> 00:43:19,373 Speaker 2: different different ideas of the day. So, yeah, where do 893 00:43:19,413 --> 00:43:20,453 Speaker 2: you want to see the pope go? 894 00:43:21,333 --> 00:43:23,413 Speaker 3: And how do you feel about the pope in twenty 895 00:43:23,533 --> 00:43:25,373 Speaker 3: twenty five? Love to hear your thoughts on our eight 896 00:43:25,453 --> 00:43:27,933 Speaker 3: hundred and eighty ten eighty and coming up, we're going 897 00:43:27,973 --> 00:43:30,573 Speaker 3: to have a chat worth Professor Peter Linham. He is 898 00:43:30,613 --> 00:43:34,173 Speaker 3: a professor of religious history and very knowledgeable about the 899 00:43:34,213 --> 00:43:37,533 Speaker 3: process with the conclave and what it takes to select 900 00:43:37,533 --> 00:43:39,493 Speaker 3: a new pope. And we'll ask him of course, on 901 00:43:39,573 --> 00:43:43,253 Speaker 3: his thoughts about how the pope is viewed in modern times. 902 00:43:43,453 --> 00:43:46,133 Speaker 2: This person says the pope has absolutely no influence on 903 00:43:46,133 --> 00:43:47,893 Speaker 2: the world anymore. I don't think that's true. It's at 904 00:43:47,973 --> 00:43:49,733 Speaker 2: least had the influence enough for us to be talking 905 00:43:49,773 --> 00:43:53,212 Speaker 2: about it. And as a Catholic, I want a more 906 00:43:53,213 --> 00:43:58,733 Speaker 2: conservative pope. There's this one I found Francis was too liberal. 907 00:43:58,853 --> 00:43:59,093 Speaker 3: Yeah. 908 00:43:59,133 --> 00:44:00,933 Speaker 2: I've got a statue of Benedict at my house, do 909 00:44:01,053 --> 00:44:03,133 Speaker 2: you Yeah, just a little one? Okay, Yeah, where do 910 00:44:03,133 --> 00:44:07,133 Speaker 2: you put that? That is in the kitchen with the 911 00:44:07,173 --> 00:44:08,853 Speaker 2: whiskey glasses. Yeah. 912 00:44:08,893 --> 00:44:11,053 Speaker 3: Oh, eight one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the 913 00:44:11,173 --> 00:44:14,053 Speaker 3: number to call keen to hear your thoughts about the 914 00:44:14,133 --> 00:44:17,333 Speaker 3: new Pope. It is ten past two, coming up. We're 915 00:44:17,333 --> 00:44:19,933 Speaker 3: gonna have a chat with Professor Peter Linum. You listen 916 00:44:19,973 --> 00:44:21,493 Speaker 3: to Matt and Tyler Good Afternoon. 917 00:44:23,093 --> 00:44:27,252 Speaker 1: Your home of afternoon Talk, Mad Heathen Tyler Adams afternoons 918 00:44:27,493 --> 00:44:30,293 Speaker 1: call oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty News Talk. 919 00:44:30,133 --> 00:44:36,293 Speaker 3: Said so, the secret conclave is underway to elect a 920 00:44:36,413 --> 00:44:40,853 Speaker 3: new pope. Professor Peter Linham has written and lectured extensively 921 00:44:41,253 --> 00:44:44,652 Speaker 3: on religious history. Here is a wealth of knowledge when 922 00:44:44,693 --> 00:44:47,173 Speaker 3: it comes to the process behind the conclave and the 923 00:44:47,173 --> 00:44:48,853 Speaker 3: election of a new pope, and he joins us now, 924 00:44:49,013 --> 00:44:52,373 Speaker 3: Professor Lyon in good afternoon, Good afternoon to you. 925 00:44:52,933 --> 00:44:54,973 Speaker 2: So we go right back to the very basics. Who 926 00:44:55,053 --> 00:44:57,652 Speaker 2: can be pope? Who is actually eligible for the job? 927 00:44:58,933 --> 00:45:02,773 Speaker 16: So the popes are drawn from the cardinals of the church, 928 00:45:03,253 --> 00:45:07,652 Speaker 16: and the cardinals the office was created as a specific 929 00:45:07,813 --> 00:45:12,013 Speaker 16: way to create a kind of an elite cabinet for 930 00:45:12,133 --> 00:45:15,252 Speaker 16: the church, and originally there weren't very many of them. 931 00:45:15,373 --> 00:45:17,493 Speaker 16: Now of course we've got one hundred and thirty five, 932 00:45:18,093 --> 00:45:24,293 Speaker 16: but it was originally actually local Italian cardinals who fulfill 933 00:45:24,413 --> 00:45:25,813 Speaker 16: these roles. 934 00:45:25,853 --> 00:45:27,772 Speaker 2: And so it can only be from one of them. 935 00:45:27,933 --> 00:45:30,493 Speaker 2: It can't be I don't know, just someone that's been 936 00:45:30,533 --> 00:45:33,413 Speaker 2: baptized in New Zealand. It has to be a part 937 00:45:33,453 --> 00:45:35,333 Speaker 2: of that group of cardinals. 938 00:45:35,693 --> 00:45:41,692 Speaker 16: Yes, that is a restriction, mind you. Ironically, the cardinals 939 00:45:41,733 --> 00:45:46,453 Speaker 16: don't have to be ordained. They actually technically could include 940 00:45:46,453 --> 00:45:49,973 Speaker 16: a lay person, maybe even a woman, though there's absolutely 941 00:45:50,013 --> 00:45:51,493 Speaker 16: no signs of that happening. 942 00:45:51,893 --> 00:45:52,732 Speaker 2: Well is that true? 943 00:45:52,733 --> 00:45:52,893 Speaker 19: Though? 944 00:45:53,053 --> 00:45:56,253 Speaker 2: Just to jump ahead that there is the Pope Jones 945 00:45:56,293 --> 00:45:59,373 Speaker 2: story true that a woman snuck in there eighty eighty 946 00:45:59,453 --> 00:46:01,853 Speaker 2: five five, and now they check to make sure it's 947 00:46:01,853 --> 00:46:04,333 Speaker 2: a man A great. 948 00:46:04,093 --> 00:46:08,533 Speaker 16: Thought, but all despite the Conclave movie, etc. No, I 949 00:46:08,533 --> 00:46:11,053 Speaker 16: think that's a bit about that. 950 00:46:11,613 --> 00:46:14,692 Speaker 2: So what is the basic process of selecting the new 951 00:46:14,773 --> 00:46:16,373 Speaker 2: pope from these cardinals? 952 00:46:17,613 --> 00:46:20,493 Speaker 16: So this is a really historical thing. It's evolved in 953 00:46:20,493 --> 00:46:23,933 Speaker 16: the process because there were times they didn't always select 954 00:46:23,973 --> 00:46:26,652 Speaker 16: the popes this way, and in fact it's only been 955 00:46:26,693 --> 00:46:29,733 Speaker 16: in the nineteenth century that it got tightened down to 956 00:46:29,813 --> 00:46:34,653 Speaker 16: this kind of secret process. And apparently in twenty thirteen 957 00:46:35,093 --> 00:46:39,413 Speaker 16: somebody did manage to disguise themselves as a cardinal and 958 00:46:39,573 --> 00:46:42,893 Speaker 16: sneak into the election, but it got kicked out by 959 00:46:42,893 --> 00:46:48,413 Speaker 16: the Swiss guards, so it's not quite effectively. The cardinals 960 00:46:48,453 --> 00:46:52,933 Speaker 16: are locked up in the Systeine Chapel and they have 961 00:46:53,053 --> 00:46:56,973 Speaker 16: a small piece of paper on which they can write 962 00:46:57,293 --> 00:47:00,212 Speaker 16: the name of one of their number than they think 963 00:47:00,253 --> 00:47:03,893 Speaker 16: should be pope, and then there will be discussion and 964 00:47:03,973 --> 00:47:08,693 Speaker 16: they pause the meals. Meanwhile, there's a total blackout because 965 00:47:08,693 --> 00:47:12,733 Speaker 16: they do not want cardinals talking on their cell phones 966 00:47:12,773 --> 00:47:13,692 Speaker 16: to the media. 967 00:47:13,813 --> 00:47:14,413 Speaker 20: Or to you or me. 968 00:47:15,653 --> 00:47:20,053 Speaker 16: And they keep doing that four times a day until 969 00:47:20,093 --> 00:47:20,613 Speaker 16: they have a. 970 00:47:20,573 --> 00:47:25,453 Speaker 2: Pope wow and I guess this is a pretty broad question, 971 00:47:25,653 --> 00:47:27,093 Speaker 2: but what are they looking. 972 00:47:26,813 --> 00:47:32,413 Speaker 16: For so effectively? They're looking at someone who can manage 973 00:47:32,573 --> 00:47:37,613 Speaker 16: the global church and who can run the Vatican efficiently. 974 00:47:38,293 --> 00:47:41,653 Speaker 16: I mean it is technically the pope is a monarch, 975 00:47:42,253 --> 00:47:44,733 Speaker 16: is kind of king of the church, and it was 976 00:47:44,773 --> 00:47:47,453 Speaker 16: designed in the days when they had monarchs, and hence 977 00:47:47,613 --> 00:47:52,173 Speaker 16: all the grandeur of the ceremony involved in it. But 978 00:47:52,333 --> 00:47:57,493 Speaker 16: if you can't effectively keep the wheels of the Vatican turning, 979 00:47:57,933 --> 00:48:02,773 Speaker 16: keep raising money to pay for the central apparatus of 980 00:48:02,773 --> 00:48:05,413 Speaker 16: the church, then the whole thing will collapse. And that's 981 00:48:05,493 --> 00:48:10,973 Speaker 16: effectively why Benedict resign in twenty twelve, because he just 982 00:48:11,373 --> 00:48:18,373 Speaker 16: proved incapable, maybe incompetent at running the Vatican Bank, and 983 00:48:18,413 --> 00:48:22,213 Speaker 16: then all the sexual abuse scandals. He just couldn't handle 984 00:48:22,253 --> 00:48:25,533 Speaker 16: it anymore. So you've got to be able to do that. 985 00:48:25,533 --> 00:48:27,333 Speaker 2: That was the first time in six hundred years that 986 00:48:27,373 --> 00:48:28,973 Speaker 2: a pope had stepped down, Am I right. 987 00:48:29,733 --> 00:48:35,413 Speaker 16: Yes, that's right, there's been a few presidents. Francis also 988 00:48:35,813 --> 00:48:38,173 Speaker 16: is the first pope for six hundred years to choose 989 00:48:38,493 --> 00:48:41,933 Speaker 16: a new name, because normally they're drawn from a small 990 00:48:41,933 --> 00:48:45,533 Speaker 16: cluster of names of previous popes, right, and this will 991 00:48:45,573 --> 00:48:50,053 Speaker 16: be so interesting to watch. But whatever the new pope chooses, 992 00:48:50,173 --> 00:48:53,533 Speaker 16: because that's the major clue we'll get of what his 993 00:48:53,693 --> 00:48:54,533 Speaker 16: focus is. 994 00:48:55,093 --> 00:48:58,573 Speaker 3: So, Pope Francis has he appointed many of the cardinals 995 00:48:58,613 --> 00:49:03,172 Speaker 3: that will select his successor. And by looking at at 996 00:49:03,173 --> 00:49:05,533 Speaker 3: some of these cardinals, it is a very diverse group, 997 00:49:05,613 --> 00:49:08,213 Speaker 3: isn't it. There are some countries there that have car 998 00:49:08,373 --> 00:49:13,373 Speaker 3: and as for the first time sales, Sudan, Papua New Guinea. 999 00:49:12,413 --> 00:49:14,253 Speaker 16: And Tonga and Tonga don't forget to. 1000 00:49:14,253 --> 00:49:16,613 Speaker 2: Talk right, tongue and black would be good. 1001 00:49:17,733 --> 00:49:23,172 Speaker 16: So, yeah, this is a really interesting question because yes, 1002 00:49:23,213 --> 00:49:27,013 Speaker 16: he selected almost well well o behalf. I think two 1003 00:49:27,053 --> 00:49:30,573 Speaker 16: thirds of the cardinals are new. They don't know each 1004 00:49:30,573 --> 00:49:35,893 Speaker 16: other particularly well. And so looking at the people he selected, 1005 00:49:36,693 --> 00:49:39,973 Speaker 16: because two things had been born in mind. He presumably 1006 00:49:40,053 --> 00:49:42,493 Speaker 16: wanted the things that he cared about to be reflected 1007 00:49:42,493 --> 00:49:45,813 Speaker 16: in the cardinals, but he also had a big thing 1008 00:49:45,853 --> 00:49:49,373 Speaker 16: about representation of the worldwide church. After all, he was 1009 00:49:49,373 --> 00:49:53,373 Speaker 16: from South America. So the only thing to bear in 1010 00:49:53,413 --> 00:49:56,813 Speaker 16: mind is you can't assume that they all think like Francis, 1011 00:49:57,293 --> 00:50:01,293 Speaker 16: because we already know that the cardinals from Africa were 1012 00:50:01,533 --> 00:50:05,893 Speaker 16: really unhappy when he proposed a process of informal blessings 1013 00:50:05,893 --> 00:50:10,093 Speaker 16: of same sex marriage of same sex relateationships. They said, 1014 00:50:10,213 --> 00:50:11,893 Speaker 16: we're not going to do this in Africa, And these 1015 00:50:11,933 --> 00:50:13,813 Speaker 16: were the cardinal's head selected. 1016 00:50:14,773 --> 00:50:17,813 Speaker 2: How important is the pope in twenty twenty five, Where 1017 00:50:17,813 --> 00:50:20,853 Speaker 2: does it sit in terms of world leaders as a position? 1018 00:50:22,213 --> 00:50:27,493 Speaker 16: Well, the pope of the last fifty years had turned 1019 00:50:27,493 --> 00:50:32,533 Speaker 16: into global figures, and that's a really striking aspect of 1020 00:50:32,573 --> 00:50:35,732 Speaker 16: the ways in which the papacy works. They really are 1021 00:50:35,773 --> 00:50:41,733 Speaker 16: spectacularly public in traveling all around the world, and because 1022 00:50:41,773 --> 00:50:45,053 Speaker 16: of that, I think we can assume these are really 1023 00:50:45,133 --> 00:50:51,893 Speaker 16: important figures, although they've got no formal power. Remember one 1024 00:50:51,973 --> 00:50:57,813 Speaker 16: point four billion Catholics, that's a huge proportion the largest 1025 00:50:57,933 --> 00:50:59,333 Speaker 16: religious group in the world. 1026 00:50:59,773 --> 00:51:03,133 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's incredible. But I mean in different times they 1027 00:51:03,213 --> 00:51:06,413 Speaker 2: have had different influence. I'm just actually listening to a 1028 00:51:06,453 --> 00:51:08,772 Speaker 2: historical broadcast at the moment on ten six see Sex, 1029 00:51:08,813 --> 00:51:12,533 Speaker 2: and a lot of it's about Pope Alexander and sanctioning 1030 00:51:12,573 --> 00:51:15,973 Speaker 2: William the Conqueror's invasion of England. I even think he 1031 00:51:16,133 --> 00:51:20,333 Speaker 2: provided a papal banner for William the Conqueror to attack. 1032 00:51:22,333 --> 00:51:26,133 Speaker 16: Yes, yes, so the pope in the days when church 1033 00:51:26,173 --> 00:51:29,773 Speaker 16: and state were handed in glove. Yes, indeed he authorized 1034 00:51:30,213 --> 00:51:34,093 Speaker 16: the Norman conquest of England and made it very difficult 1035 00:51:34,173 --> 00:51:38,013 Speaker 16: for Harold and that sort of thing you are unlikely 1036 00:51:38,133 --> 00:51:38,693 Speaker 16: to see. 1037 00:51:38,693 --> 00:51:40,293 Speaker 14: Up today happily. 1038 00:51:41,093 --> 00:51:45,053 Speaker 16: But I don't think you still can completely discount the 1039 00:51:45,093 --> 00:51:50,053 Speaker 16: potential influence. For example, the popes made some previous Pope 1040 00:51:50,093 --> 00:51:56,373 Speaker 16: made some very strong remarks about Palestine Israel situation, and 1041 00:51:56,413 --> 00:52:00,733 Speaker 16: that's made American Catholics feel very uncomfortable. And I was 1042 00:52:00,893 --> 00:52:05,333 Speaker 16: most intrigued that apparently one of the right wing capitalist 1043 00:52:05,373 --> 00:52:10,293 Speaker 16: groups in the States has been taking theotential influential cardinals 1044 00:52:10,693 --> 00:52:14,253 Speaker 16: out for lunch in Rome over the last week and 1045 00:52:14,293 --> 00:52:17,653 Speaker 16: a half to make sure that they get somebody who's 1046 00:52:17,693 --> 00:52:20,253 Speaker 16: not too not too socialist. 1047 00:52:19,853 --> 00:52:24,813 Speaker 2: So someone a bit more benedict like going forward. Well, 1048 00:52:24,813 --> 00:52:25,813 Speaker 2: incredibly interesting. 1049 00:52:26,093 --> 00:52:28,773 Speaker 3: Yeah, So gut field, Peter, I know it's very hard 1050 00:52:29,133 --> 00:52:31,253 Speaker 3: to determin it because it is a secret conclave, but 1051 00:52:31,533 --> 00:52:34,173 Speaker 3: I believe, I understand stand. It took two days to 1052 00:52:34,213 --> 00:52:37,613 Speaker 3: select Pope Francis last time. What's your gut field this time? 1053 00:52:37,653 --> 00:52:39,733 Speaker 3: Do you think it will be fast or maybe sometime? 1054 00:52:41,693 --> 00:52:44,973 Speaker 16: I think it will all be done by Friday, right 1055 00:52:45,493 --> 00:52:48,373 Speaker 16: Friday night, I think, I think, I mean, it may 1056 00:52:48,453 --> 00:52:51,333 Speaker 16: take one more vote than it took with Francis, but 1057 00:52:51,493 --> 00:52:54,573 Speaker 16: people pretty quickly get realistic. They hear the results of 1058 00:52:54,613 --> 00:52:56,373 Speaker 16: the votes, so. 1059 00:52:56,293 --> 00:53:00,053 Speaker 2: It's not a sacred ballot ballot, it's you hear, well, 1060 00:53:00,493 --> 00:53:02,253 Speaker 2: you don't know who who all right, right, but you 1061 00:53:02,253 --> 00:53:03,133 Speaker 2: see which way it's going. 1062 00:53:03,213 --> 00:53:06,573 Speaker 16: Yeah, you see which way it's going. And so quite clearly, 1063 00:53:06,693 --> 00:53:10,053 Speaker 16: conversation will have gone on over and they'll come back 1064 00:53:10,293 --> 00:53:16,613 Speaker 16: when they start again tonight, and there'll be an elimination 1065 00:53:16,893 --> 00:53:21,013 Speaker 16: of various the marginal candidates and they'll throw their votes 1066 00:53:21,093 --> 00:53:24,253 Speaker 16: behind other people, and so there'll be a lot of 1067 00:53:24,293 --> 00:53:28,093 Speaker 16: conversations gone overnight. I'd be surprised if it goes beyond 1068 00:53:28,133 --> 00:53:29,093 Speaker 16: five ballots. 1069 00:53:29,373 --> 00:53:31,212 Speaker 2: And do you is it a kind of thing where 1070 00:53:31,253 --> 00:53:35,013 Speaker 2: you know front runners you have names. Obviously when they 1071 00:53:35,013 --> 00:53:37,653 Speaker 2: become the pope they get a new name, but names 1072 00:53:37,693 --> 00:53:39,973 Speaker 2: that are at the top of the top of contention. 1073 00:53:41,373 --> 00:53:44,053 Speaker 16: There's a lot of names being thrown around as being 1074 00:53:44,213 --> 00:53:50,573 Speaker 16: top names. But most key watchers say this is probably 1075 00:53:50,613 --> 00:53:52,933 Speaker 16: one of the most open elections that there have been 1076 00:53:53,013 --> 00:53:57,453 Speaker 16: for ages because of all these new cardinals and there 1077 00:53:57,493 --> 00:54:00,293 Speaker 16: clearly will be people from the South who want another 1078 00:54:01,333 --> 00:54:05,693 Speaker 16: person out of the kind of Italian European domination of 1079 00:54:05,773 --> 00:54:11,733 Speaker 16: the past thousand years. But it's it's a hope can't 1080 00:54:11,773 --> 00:54:16,573 Speaker 16: speak Italian. There will be at a serious disadvantage, and 1081 00:54:16,693 --> 00:54:20,773 Speaker 16: so that might put the pressure and I'm sure the 1082 00:54:20,853 --> 00:54:24,772 Speaker 16: Italians are angling to get another at least another European back. 1083 00:54:25,293 --> 00:54:28,893 Speaker 16: So I find it very very difficult to read lettle 1084 00:54:28,933 --> 00:54:32,692 Speaker 16: Own the conservative versus liberals that's going on. 1085 00:54:33,013 --> 00:54:34,653 Speaker 17: I'm sure very. 1086 00:54:34,653 --> 00:54:37,493 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd like to see a pope Pious. I'd like 1087 00:54:37,533 --> 00:54:39,733 Speaker 2: that name to come back and to use. 1088 00:54:40,333 --> 00:54:46,693 Speaker 16: Rink Oh well, yes, but you certainly want one. His politics, 1089 00:54:47,493 --> 00:54:51,493 Speaker 16: his no runting of the twelfth rubious relationships with me 1090 00:54:51,893 --> 00:54:53,212 Speaker 16: with Anazi Germany. 1091 00:54:53,533 --> 00:54:56,173 Speaker 2: I was, I was pissed, the ninth the longest pope 1092 00:54:56,253 --> 00:55:05,573 Speaker 2: running pope. But yeah, the shock. Okay, so not another pis. 1093 00:55:08,693 --> 00:55:11,253 Speaker 3: Peter. It's been lovely chatting with you. Thank you very 1094 00:55:11,333 --> 00:55:14,933 Speaker 3: much for your expertise and time, and hopefully we'll catch 1095 00:55:15,013 --> 00:55:18,212 Speaker 3: up maybe next week if there is an election of 1096 00:55:18,253 --> 00:55:19,053 Speaker 3: our new pope. 1097 00:55:19,813 --> 00:55:21,652 Speaker 16: Indeed, yes, very good, thank you. 1098 00:55:21,773 --> 00:55:25,093 Speaker 3: That is Professor Peter Lynham. He is a religious expert 1099 00:55:25,253 --> 00:55:28,453 Speaker 3: and scholar of religious history, but keen to get your 1100 00:55:28,533 --> 00:55:33,213 Speaker 3: views on the new pope while the secret conclave is underway. 1101 00:55:34,013 --> 00:55:35,693 Speaker 3: What do you want to see out of your new pope? Oh, 1102 00:55:35,733 --> 00:55:37,973 Speaker 3: eight hundred eighty ten eighty. You can also take nine 1103 00:55:38,013 --> 00:55:40,133 Speaker 3: to ninety two. And where does the pope sit for 1104 00:55:40,173 --> 00:55:43,533 Speaker 3: you in modern times? The influence obviously of the Catholic 1105 00:55:43,653 --> 00:55:46,933 Speaker 3: Church and many Catholic people in the world one point 1106 00:55:46,933 --> 00:55:50,533 Speaker 3: four billions. Peter said, where does that influence it for you? Really? 1107 00:55:50,533 --> 00:55:51,973 Speaker 3: Can you get your thoughts on this one? 1108 00:55:52,053 --> 00:55:54,173 Speaker 2: This textas says, the Catholic religion is a cult and 1109 00:55:54,213 --> 00:55:56,693 Speaker 2: this pope thing just proves it. You guys should not 1110 00:55:56,733 --> 00:55:57,333 Speaker 2: be talking about it. 1111 00:55:57,453 --> 00:56:04,693 Speaker 3: Ah, you go twenty four past two, matd Heathen Tyler 1112 00:56:04,733 --> 00:56:08,133 Speaker 3: Adams afternoons call oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty on 1113 00:56:08,173 --> 00:56:10,813 Speaker 3: you talk, said, good afternoon, twenty six past two, and 1114 00:56:10,813 --> 00:56:12,733 Speaker 3: we're talking about the election of the new Pope. The 1115 00:56:12,773 --> 00:56:18,213 Speaker 3: conclave is underway. No pope early today, but as of tomorrow, 1116 00:56:18,213 --> 00:56:20,653 Speaker 3: I believe it will be four votes per day until 1117 00:56:20,693 --> 00:56:22,893 Speaker 3: you see that white smoke and they elect a new pope. 1118 00:56:23,253 --> 00:56:26,212 Speaker 2: Did you call it the pope? Our pope? This Texas says, 1119 00:56:26,213 --> 00:56:28,253 Speaker 2: why do you say our pope? He's not our pope. 1120 00:56:28,773 --> 00:56:31,093 Speaker 3: And it's a good point, as I mentioned that what 1121 00:56:31,173 --> 00:56:34,212 Speaker 3: were here, here's the piece is the pope. Yeah, there's 1122 00:56:34,253 --> 00:56:34,853 Speaker 3: only one pope. 1123 00:56:34,853 --> 00:56:37,893 Speaker 2: There's only only one pope. Yeah, you know, there's a 1124 00:56:37,893 --> 00:56:40,333 Speaker 2: few Buddha, but there's only one pope exactly. 1125 00:56:40,533 --> 00:56:42,413 Speaker 3: So in that case, he is our pope. And I'll 1126 00:56:42,413 --> 00:56:44,173 Speaker 3: guess say I'm not religious, but I still think he 1127 00:56:44,293 --> 00:56:44,853 Speaker 3: is our pope. 1128 00:56:44,893 --> 00:56:47,293 Speaker 2: This is an interesting question from Tammy. Hi, guys, does 1129 00:56:47,333 --> 00:56:50,533 Speaker 2: the pope always have to be old? I know that 1130 00:56:50,613 --> 00:56:52,853 Speaker 2: you have to be under eighty to vote for the pope, 1131 00:56:53,213 --> 00:56:56,013 Speaker 2: but the pope does tend to I mean, you know, 1132 00:56:56,093 --> 00:56:58,133 Speaker 2: if they threw a guy in in his fifties and 1133 00:56:58,133 --> 00:56:59,533 Speaker 2: you might get a you know, it might get a 1134 00:56:59,573 --> 00:57:00,773 Speaker 2: lot longer run out of him. 1135 00:57:00,853 --> 00:57:02,853 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, when was the last time we had 1136 00:57:02,853 --> 00:57:04,933 Speaker 3: a young pope? So to speak? Fifty would be considered 1137 00:57:04,933 --> 00:57:07,773 Speaker 3: a young pope. Wasn't there a TV show called The 1138 00:57:07,813 --> 00:57:08,973 Speaker 3: Young Pope? 1139 00:57:09,853 --> 00:57:12,733 Speaker 2: Matt and Tyler Unknown by most, there's a genuine prophecy. 1140 00:57:13,253 --> 00:57:15,373 Speaker 2: Is this such a thing? Declaring that the Catholic Church 1141 00:57:15,413 --> 00:57:17,693 Speaker 2: in Rome will be nuclear bomb. Russia will drop a 1142 00:57:17,773 --> 00:57:19,893 Speaker 2: nuke down the chimney of the Vatican. Dennis, Well, that's 1143 00:57:19,893 --> 00:57:22,853 Speaker 2: an interesting take. Yeah, as a Catholic, I'm hoping for 1144 00:57:22,853 --> 00:57:26,053 Speaker 2: the incumbent Pope to have the same widespread acceptance of 1145 00:57:26,093 --> 00:57:30,133 Speaker 2: the vulnerable, the homoseexual community, etc. Whether or not he's 1146 00:57:30,413 --> 00:57:32,613 Speaker 2: important to the world these days is irrelevant. If you 1147 00:57:32,613 --> 00:57:34,413 Speaker 2: are a Catholic. The Pope will always be the most 1148 00:57:34,413 --> 00:57:37,173 Speaker 2: important figure head for the Catholic here on earth. And 1149 00:57:37,173 --> 00:57:40,133 Speaker 2: and there's one point four billion Catholics, so you know, 1150 00:57:40,133 --> 00:57:42,653 Speaker 2: there's a lot of people texting through saying the Pope 1151 00:57:42,693 --> 00:57:45,093 Speaker 2: is irrelevant. The Pope has nothing to do with anything, 1152 00:57:45,453 --> 00:57:48,453 Speaker 2: but anyone that is the leader of a church of 1153 00:57:48,493 --> 00:57:52,933 Speaker 2: one point four billion members as an important person on 1154 00:57:52,973 --> 00:57:55,813 Speaker 2: the planet. There's no way you can you can deny 1155 00:57:55,893 --> 00:57:57,813 Speaker 2: that one point four billion people. 1156 00:57:58,093 --> 00:58:01,333 Speaker 3: And to have a figure like the Pope that commands, 1157 00:58:01,973 --> 00:58:04,573 Speaker 3: you know, the presidents and world leaders come to the Pope, 1158 00:58:04,573 --> 00:58:07,853 Speaker 3: not the other way around. That is incredible influence that 1159 00:58:07,933 --> 00:58:12,573 Speaker 3: they or they often try and get the Pope's influence 1160 00:58:12,653 --> 00:58:14,253 Speaker 3: because it's so incredibly important. 1161 00:58:16,493 --> 00:58:20,333 Speaker 2: After the eggs Benedict experience, nice part. I hope they 1162 00:58:20,413 --> 00:58:22,613 Speaker 2: go for someone outside their usual sphere. Well, they did, 1163 00:58:22,653 --> 00:58:27,173 Speaker 2: with Francis, didn't they He was outside of their usual. 1164 00:58:26,933 --> 00:58:29,773 Speaker 3: Sphere, very liberal Argantinian yep. 1165 00:58:29,893 --> 00:58:32,333 Speaker 2: And now they're looking to go back into this theere. 1166 00:58:32,373 --> 00:58:34,253 Speaker 2: I think yeah. I mean Francis used to be a 1167 00:58:34,293 --> 00:58:36,093 Speaker 2: bouncer at clubs and stuff. 1168 00:58:36,253 --> 00:58:38,333 Speaker 3: When you told me that instead get out.

It's currently underway. The conclave 1223 01:01:21,733 --> 01:01:23,933 Speaker 3: is sitting for as long as it takes into a 1224 01:01:24,053 --> 01:01:27,413 Speaker 3: new pope is elected. One hundred and thirty three cardinals 1225 01:01:27,573 --> 01:01:28,613 Speaker 3: in that meeting. 1226 01:01:29,533 --> 01:01:34,813 Speaker 2: Including our one, right, yes, so is it John Due? 1227 01:01:34,853 --> 01:01:36,493 Speaker 3: It is Cardinal John Due. 1228 01:01:36,733 --> 01:01:39,293 Speaker 2: So if there's one hundred and thirty three voting on it, 1229 01:01:39,413 --> 01:01:42,893 Speaker 2: then and then we've got a zero point seven to 1230 01:01:42,973 --> 01:01:46,533 Speaker 2: five percent of a chance of the Pope being New Zealand. 1231 01:01:46,573 --> 01:01:49,093 Speaker 2: Of course we don't really have that because his name 1232 01:01:49,093 --> 01:01:51,533 Speaker 2: probably won't be banditing about at the at the top 1233 01:01:51,573 --> 01:01:56,213 Speaker 2: of the of the contenders, but arguably a zero point 1234 01:01:56,293 --> 01:01:58,973 Speaker 2: seven five percent chance of the Pope being Kiwi. How 1235 01:01:58,973 --> 01:01:59,613 Speaker 2: good would that be? 1236 01:01:59,813 --> 01:02:02,453 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's better than zero. Yeah, a New Zealand Pope. 1237 01:02:02,453 --> 01:02:03,253 Speaker 3: I think we'd all love that. 1238 01:02:03,413 --> 01:02:04,973 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, and then all these people telling us to 1239 01:02:04,973 --> 01:02:06,973 Speaker 2: stop referring to the Pope is our pope, then we'd 1240 01:02:06,973 --> 01:02:09,213 Speaker 2: have then then we'd be in and good Steve when 1241 01:02:09,253 --> 01:02:12,533 Speaker 2: we were doing that, Uh, learn your thoughts on this. 1242 01:02:13,733 --> 01:02:15,773 Speaker 10: Oh hi, I still got the influence of the pope, 1243 01:02:16,493 --> 01:02:18,533 Speaker 10: and it was Pope Francis at the time. But we're 1244 01:02:18,533 --> 01:02:22,453 Speaker 10: a few years ago. We're in Palermo in Sicily, and 1245 01:02:22,453 --> 01:02:25,653 Speaker 10: that whole area that most of slicely Sicily is very 1246 01:02:25,813 --> 01:02:29,933 Speaker 10: mafia based, and there was a priest there who was 1247 01:02:30,173 --> 01:02:35,653 Speaker 10: very anti the hold that they had on the city 1248 01:02:35,773 --> 01:02:39,653 Speaker 10: and the rest of Palmo and probably Sicily. 1249 01:02:39,813 --> 01:02:42,573 Speaker 2: That the mafia hold, that the mafia had the mafia. 1250 01:02:42,933 --> 01:02:45,933 Speaker 10: Yes, I mean there's size all over the place.

That's really 1252 01:02:50,053 --> 01:02:53,173 Speaker 10: was very odd, and that this priest was very outspoken 1253 01:02:53,293 --> 01:02:55,613 Speaker 10: and very much against them and standing up to them, 1254 01:02:55,613 --> 01:02:59,933 Speaker 10: which was pretty unusual and dangerous. And eventually he was 1255 01:02:59,973 --> 01:03:01,533 Speaker 10: assassinated by the Marfia. 1256 01:03:01,733 --> 01:03:03,213 Speaker 2: Wow, what. 1257 01:03:04,853 --> 01:03:05,093 Speaker 8: Was this. 1258 01:03:07,053 --> 01:03:07,653 Speaker 21: Three years ago? 1259 01:03:08,853 --> 01:03:12,533 Speaker 10: Not that long ago?

Wow, we 1266 01:03:35,373 --> 01:03:39,013 Speaker 10: wanted them regardless. And there was just hundreds of thousands 1267 01:03:39,053 --> 01:03:41,013 Speaker 10: of people there and the Pope came out and they 1268 01:03:41,013 --> 01:03:44,413 Speaker 10: were absolutely crazy. Whatever he said and whatever which he 1269 01:03:44,453 --> 01:03:47,413 Speaker 10: was speaking at it did. People settled down and there 1270 01:03:47,453 --> 01:03:49,933 Speaker 10: actually was as far as when we were there for 1271 01:03:49,933 --> 01:03:53,773 Speaker 10: a few weeks in Sicily and reading and hearings bits 1272 01:03:53,813 --> 01:03:56,933 Speaker 10: and pieces there was, there was no retaliation, and his 1273 01:03:57,173 --> 01:04:00,613 Speaker 10: influence had little things that didn't stop. Mafia didn't rest 1274 01:04:00,693 --> 01:04:03,173 Speaker 10: on them, but it certainly had an influence on the 1275 01:04:03,173 --> 01:04:04,533 Speaker 10: people there not to retaliate. 1276 01:04:04,853 --> 01:04:09,293 Speaker 2: So it was known that the mafia had assassinated this car. 1277 01:04:09,533 --> 01:04:13,733 Speaker 10: Yes, absolutely, absolutely, that's right. I mean they were. They're 1278 01:04:13,773 --> 01:04:16,973 Speaker 10: not shy about it. They have so much control and. 1279 01:04:18,533 --> 01:04:20,533 Speaker 2: So much control it's not and that's not being a 1280 01:04:20,533 --> 01:04:22,373 Speaker 2: good Catholic killing the cardinal, is it? 1281 01:04:22,413 --> 01:04:23,413 Speaker 3: Certainly not?

There's 1349 01:07:40,493 --> 01:07:43,893 Speaker 20: just a few historical facts, only three I'll mentioned for you. 1350 01:07:44,293 --> 01:07:48,333 Speaker 20: Did you know there's been one English Pope, Nicholas Breakspeare, 1351 01:07:48,373 --> 01:07:51,333 Speaker 20: who became Pope Adrian. I forget the number in about 1352 01:07:51,333 --> 01:07:54,933 Speaker 20: eleven hundred and something, right, Pope Nicholas is a scholar here, 1353 01:07:55,373 --> 01:07:58,893 Speaker 20: Nicholas Breakspeare. He was an Oxford student, and he became 1354 01:07:58,973 --> 01:08:03,413 Speaker 20: Pope Adrian. I forget which number right, hour. 1355 01:08:03,573 --> 01:08:06,133 Speaker 2: So teen sixty six when William the Conqueror came in 1356 01:08:06,613 --> 01:08:10,413 Speaker 2: supported my potract can They changed up the church in 1357 01:08:10,453 --> 01:08:12,893 Speaker 2: England a lot to make it more aligned with the. 1358 01:08:12,933 --> 01:08:15,253 Speaker 20: Vatican di And the other thing is the Pope was 1359 01:08:15,373 --> 01:08:18,732 Speaker 20: very much a temporal ruler up till nineteen twenty nine, 1360 01:08:18,853 --> 01:08:22,013 Speaker 20: ruling the center of Italy as the Papal States, and 1361 01:08:22,093 --> 01:08:26,372 Speaker 20: of course Mussolini signed the latter and treaty with the papacy, 1362 01:08:26,772 --> 01:08:29,532 Speaker 20: in which the pope gave up all the temporal powers 1363 01:08:29,772 --> 01:08:32,692 Speaker 20: of those states, and the one square mile of the 1364 01:08:32,772 --> 01:08:35,692 Speaker 20: Vatican became a country, and the pope had to leave 1365 01:08:35,732 --> 01:08:40,253 Speaker 20: the Quirinali Palace and live in the Vatican. And so 1366 01:08:40,372 --> 01:08:42,732 Speaker 20: that's just one of the historical things of it. And 1367 01:08:42,772 --> 01:08:44,973 Speaker 20: at one stage in history there was a sort of 1368 01:08:45,013 --> 01:08:47,772 Speaker 20: schism and there were two popes, one living in Avignon 1369 01:08:47,973 --> 01:08:51,172 Speaker 20: and one in Rome. Wow, how did they the Middle Ages? 1370 01:08:51,253 --> 01:08:52,492 Speaker 2: How did they get sorted out? 1371 01:08:53,612 --> 01:08:56,412 Speaker 20: I can't remember quite you take one, must read more 1372 01:08:56,452 --> 01:09:00,612 Speaker 20: about it. But the latter, and of course the papacy 1373 01:09:00,692 --> 01:09:04,052 Speaker 20: to this day sends diplomats around the world. The papal 1374 01:09:04,133 --> 01:09:07,612 Speaker 20: nuncios are credited to all the countries, so you'll get 1375 01:09:07,612 --> 01:09:10,772 Speaker 20: somebody of the think of an archbishop or something stationed 1376 01:09:10,772 --> 01:09:14,092 Speaker 20: in New Zealand. There'd be one in Australia, one in America, 1377 01:09:14,173 --> 01:09:16,572 Speaker 20: one in Canada, and certainly the people nuncia in the 1378 01:09:16,692 --> 01:09:21,053 Speaker 20: United Kingdom. So they still have quite a power with 1379 01:09:21,093 --> 01:09:21,973 Speaker 20: their diplomacy. 1380 01:09:22,492 --> 01:09:24,892 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, thank you so much for your call, Richard, 1381 01:09:24,973 --> 01:09:28,452 Speaker 2: appreciate that. What's kind of interesting about the Catholic Church. 1382 01:09:28,492 --> 01:09:31,732 Speaker 2: I was reading this interesting theory that the Roman Empire 1383 01:09:31,812 --> 01:09:35,933 Speaker 2: never died, it just transitioned into the Catholic Church. I 1384 01:09:35,933 --> 01:09:39,173 Speaker 2: mean it all comes out of Rome. And you know 1385 01:09:39,253 --> 01:09:43,572 Speaker 2: when around Rome changed from its gods to the Roman 1386 01:09:43,612 --> 01:09:49,093 Speaker 2: gods to Christianity then moved through and in ancient Rome 1387 01:09:49,133 --> 01:09:54,972 Speaker 2: they had you know, religious leaders called Pompeius that became 1388 01:09:55,013 --> 01:09:59,213 Speaker 2: the popes. So the Roman Empire just just pivoted, like 1389 01:09:59,293 --> 01:10:02,972 Speaker 2: all good businesses, into becoming the Catholic Church. 1390 01:10:03,013 --> 01:10:04,612 Speaker 3: That is a hell of a transition, though, wasn't it 1391 01:10:04,612 --> 01:10:07,333 Speaker 3: to go from the Roman gods to say, hey, by 1392 01:10:07,372 --> 01:10:11,092 Speaker 3: the way, Zeus, he's not the man anything. 1393 01:10:10,893 --> 01:10:14,412 Speaker 2: There was Augustus, Wasn't It was Augustus someone or No. 1394 01:10:14,572 --> 01:10:17,932 Speaker 2: Nine two nine two who decided to you know, it's 1395 01:10:17,973 --> 01:10:23,133 Speaker 2: bigger than changing from pounds into decimal currency, isn't it. Here, Yeah, 1396 01:10:23,973 --> 01:10:28,012 Speaker 2: who are changing the whole religion and all your temples 1397 01:10:28,053 --> 01:10:29,733 Speaker 2: will now become cathedrals. 1398 01:10:29,812 --> 01:10:32,052 Speaker 3: Yeah.

What do you 1496 01:15:23,812 --> 01:15:24,772 Speaker 3: want to see in the new pope. 1497 01:15:25,532 --> 01:15:29,412 Speaker 23: Yeah, well, I mean the Pope frances was a great man. 1498 01:15:30,492 --> 01:15:35,013 Speaker 23: But I mean I'm osboard upper Catholic, but I then 1499 01:15:35,053 --> 01:15:38,133 Speaker 23: became a Christian and I'm no longer a Catholic, and 1500 01:15:38,293 --> 01:15:42,333 Speaker 23: so I'm a Christian. But and there are some great 1501 01:15:42,333 --> 01:15:50,372 Speaker 23: people in the Catholic Church. But I'm you know, Francis there. 1502 01:15:50,452 --> 01:15:55,013 Speaker 23: He gave same text couples the Blessing, which is completely 1503 01:15:55,692 --> 01:16:01,133 Speaker 23: anti biblical. Jesus loves the people but hates the sin 1504 01:16:01,253 --> 01:16:08,012 Speaker 23: of homosexuality and gayness and all that. And he and also, 1505 01:16:08,492 --> 01:16:09,572 Speaker 23: you know, I'm going to look at some of the 1506 01:16:09,612 --> 01:16:13,772 Speaker 23: other Christian leaders. I mean, yes, he's the papers are 1507 01:16:14,213 --> 01:16:18,052 Speaker 23: very much just a political leader of the Catholic Church. 1508 01:16:19,492 --> 01:16:21,572 Speaker 23: But I look at some of the now. Well, a 1509 01:16:21,612 --> 01:16:24,133 Speaker 23: couple three years ago, a guy go, I name you 1510 01:16:24,173 --> 01:16:27,812 Speaker 23: probably haven't heard of, Rain hard Bonky, a German guy died. 1511 01:16:28,853 --> 01:16:31,452 Speaker 23: Now I know a guy who worked alongside of him 1512 01:16:31,492 --> 01:16:34,972 Speaker 23: in his crusades and his crusades. He had a passion 1513 01:16:35,013 --> 01:16:39,093 Speaker 23: for the African continent. And if you just people just 1514 01:16:39,213 --> 01:16:43,532 Speaker 23: google his name and what he did. What was the 1515 01:16:43,652 --> 01:16:50,213 Speaker 23: name Ryan hard Bonky? And it does nothing to him 1516 01:16:50,293 --> 01:16:53,493 Speaker 23: to have well than through seven figures at a crusade, 1517 01:16:54,133 --> 01:16:58,772 Speaker 23: huge crusades and over a million, sometimes up to two 1518 01:16:58,853 --> 01:17:03,652 Speaker 23: million will make decisions for Christ? Was he people know 1519 01:17:03,772 --> 01:17:06,173 Speaker 23: much about him? Not a lot. Gerty Graham is another 1520 01:17:06,293 --> 01:17:08,333 Speaker 23: very good man and he passed away a few years 1521 01:17:08,372 --> 01:17:15,133 Speaker 23: years ago and also currently alive. Is what's her name? 1522 01:17:15,412 --> 01:17:19,852 Speaker 23: It just swoops me in our Joyce Meyer. Joyce Meyer 1523 01:17:20,213 --> 01:17:24,053 Speaker 23: doing fantastic ministries all around the world, and people are 1524 01:17:24,053 --> 01:17:27,932 Speaker 23: coming to Christ left right in the center. Ultimately, that's 1525 01:17:28,053 --> 01:17:30,812 Speaker 23: our job to do as Christians, is to bring people 1526 01:17:30,853 --> 01:17:34,652 Speaker 23: to Christ. Now, my question is a pope Francis. Yes, 1527 01:17:34,692 --> 01:17:38,692 Speaker 23: he's a political figure and he went around and did that. 1528 01:17:38,772 --> 01:17:41,093 Speaker 23: He's very well protected and all of that. But what 1529 01:17:41,293 --> 01:17:43,812 Speaker 23: did he do in that era? I'm not criticizing him, 1530 01:17:43,853 --> 01:17:48,412 Speaker 23: don't get me wrong. So you know, does the church 1531 01:17:48,853 --> 01:17:50,132 Speaker 23: need a pope? 1532 01:17:50,572 --> 01:17:50,892 Speaker 18: I mean? 1533 01:17:51,293 --> 01:17:55,692 Speaker 23: And unfortunately the church? Yes, I was brought upper Catholic 1534 01:17:55,732 --> 01:17:58,812 Speaker 23: I told you that. And you know the priest is 1535 01:17:58,853 --> 01:18:02,213 Speaker 23: the number one. I mean, I know some Catholic priests 1536 01:18:02,213 --> 01:18:04,372 Speaker 23: have good relationships with them as friends, which is great. 1537 01:18:04,372 --> 01:18:07,492 Speaker 23: I don't call them father, that's not scriptural. And because 1538 01:18:07,492 --> 01:18:11,853 Speaker 23: we've only got one far souther and heaven and so 1539 01:18:11,853 --> 01:18:14,572 Speaker 23: so if you follow on a mean, you know, it's 1540 01:18:14,572 --> 01:18:17,612 Speaker 23: a very much a political thing and a lot of 1541 01:18:17,692 --> 01:18:23,772 Speaker 23: Catholics they revert these people in these positions and they 1542 01:18:23,812 --> 01:18:25,093 Speaker 23: go ballistic over them. 1543 01:18:25,293 --> 01:18:27,612 Speaker 2: I mean, sorry, Nick, We're going to have to let 1544 01:18:27,612 --> 01:18:29,253 Speaker 2: you go, but I think we got you at your point. 1545 01:18:29,452 --> 01:18:31,892 Speaker 3: When political figurehead the pope, and they're not down on 1546 01:18:31,933 --> 01:18:36,612 Speaker 3: the ground usually converting people to Jesus, but they are 1547 01:18:36,732 --> 01:18:39,492 Speaker 3: responsible for asking their cardinals in church leaders to do 1548 01:18:39,572 --> 01:18:40,093 Speaker 3: that on the ground. 1549 01:18:40,253 --> 01:18:40,412 Speaker 21: Yeah. 1550 01:18:40,452 --> 01:18:42,013 Speaker 2: Sorry, and that cat to cut you off because the 1551 01:18:42,053 --> 01:18:44,532 Speaker 2: news is coming in fast and we can't stop it. 1552 01:18:44,692 --> 01:18:47,213 Speaker 3: No, we cannot as much as we'd like to sometimes. 1553 01:18:47,253 --> 01:18:50,173 Speaker 3: But thank you very much to everyone who phone and 1554 01:18:50,333 --> 01:18:53,772 Speaker 3: text on that discussion.

Welcome back into the show. 1562 01:19:23,933 --> 01:19:25,812 Speaker 3: Now we we're going to chat about going into the 1563 01:19:25,853 --> 01:19:28,333 Speaker 3: family business or following in the footsteps of your parents 1564 01:19:28,372 --> 01:19:30,652 Speaker 3: when it comes to a career, And we may get 1565 01:19:30,692 --> 01:19:32,772 Speaker 3: to that tomorrow because here's what we want to have 1566 01:19:32,812 --> 01:19:35,933 Speaker 3: a chat about over the next hour. Mark Lundy, he 1567 01:19:36,013 --> 01:19:38,612 Speaker 3: has been released from prison after serving more than twenty 1568 01:19:38,692 --> 01:19:42,293 Speaker 3: three years for murder. He maintains his innocence and plans 1569 01:19:42,333 --> 01:19:45,133 Speaker 3: to continue fighting to clear his name. His release has 1570 01:19:45,133 --> 01:19:49,853 Speaker 3: included strict conditions and a suppression order on his living arrangements. 1571 01:19:50,572 --> 01:19:52,933 Speaker 3: But the question we want to put to you is, 1572 01:19:53,572 --> 01:19:56,572 Speaker 3: so we cannot say where Lundy is going to be 1573 01:19:56,692 --> 01:20:00,652 Speaker 3: living now that he has been released from prison, But 1574 01:20:00,893 --> 01:20:05,333 Speaker 3: does it really matter in terms of protecting his privacy 1575 01:20:06,133 --> 01:20:09,652 Speaker 3: and protecting those out of of where he will be 1576 01:20:09,732 --> 01:20:13,253 Speaker 3: trying to reintegrate into society. How much does that really 1577 01:20:13,293 --> 01:20:14,692 Speaker 3: matter in the case of Mark Lundy? 1578 01:20:14,732 --> 01:20:15,372 Speaker 2: Oh, what do you mean? 1579 01:20:15,853 --> 01:20:18,732 Speaker 3: Well, if that is to protect his own privacy and 1580 01:20:18,772 --> 01:20:21,692 Speaker 3: his own ability to reintegrate into society, I can understand 1581 01:20:21,692 --> 01:20:25,492 Speaker 3: part of that. But would anyone in New Zealand really 1582 01:20:26,333 --> 01:20:28,852 Speaker 3: have too much of an issue with Mark Lundy being 1583 01:20:28,893 --> 01:20:29,613 Speaker 3: in their community. 1584 01:20:30,372 --> 01:20:34,053 Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting because there's the first photos of Mark 1585 01:20:34,133 --> 01:20:39,133 Speaker 2: Lundy have been taken. There's a suppression of order of 1586 01:20:39,173 --> 01:20:42,372 Speaker 2: where he is. But people are taking photographs of them 1587 01:20:42,612 --> 01:20:45,652 Speaker 2: and post them somewhere. So what are you saying? Should 1588 01:20:45,652 --> 01:20:48,452 Speaker 2: he be left alone? So is it wrong to take 1589 01:20:48,452 --> 01:20:53,133 Speaker 2: photos of him imprint them? Has he done his time 1590 01:20:53,333 --> 01:20:56,933 Speaker 2: and he should just be left let be? 1591 01:20:57,293 --> 01:20:59,093 Speaker 3: Well that's a little bit of a fantasy, isn't it. 1592 01:20:59,293 --> 01:21:03,093 Speaker 3: I mean, he is a very well known person in 1593 01:21:03,133 --> 01:21:05,892 Speaker 3: New Zealand and there will be many people out there 1594 01:21:05,933 --> 01:21:08,772 Speaker 3: in the community if they see Mark LUNDI many people 1595 01:21:08,853 --> 01:21:10,772 Speaker 3: know what he looks like. They will be taking photos 1596 01:21:10,772 --> 01:21:12,652 Speaker 3: and they will be telling their family and friends that 1597 01:21:12,732 --> 01:21:13,372 Speaker 3: I would say. 1598 01:21:13,452 --> 01:21:16,372 Speaker 2: I would say that most people would know in New 1599 01:21:16,452 --> 01:21:19,173 Speaker 2: Zealand what Mark Lundy looks like. He's got that very 1600 01:21:19,173 --> 01:21:21,932 Speaker 2: distinctive beard that he grew in prison. Actually, I think 1601 01:21:21,933 --> 01:21:24,173 Speaker 2: it's a bit different now than it was for a while. 1602 01:21:24,173 --> 01:21:26,013 Speaker 2: He's had a few looks, as you'd expect. He's been 1603 01:21:26,053 --> 01:21:29,212 Speaker 2: prison for a very very long time. And we all remember, 1604 01:21:29,572 --> 01:21:33,372 Speaker 2: you know, the shot of him at the funeral in 1605 01:21:33,412 --> 01:21:38,333 Speaker 2: two thousand with the blue blockers, and you know it's 1606 01:21:38,333 --> 01:21:40,652 Speaker 2: sort of with his arms around a couple of support people. 1607 01:21:41,133 --> 01:21:42,892 Speaker 2: So people would know who would. But yeah, I mean, 1608 01:21:42,893 --> 01:21:46,852 Speaker 2: what do you think about this? Should should you? He's famous, right, 1609 01:21:46,893 --> 01:21:48,852 Speaker 2: and so if you saw him, you'd be like, that's 1610 01:21:48,893 --> 01:21:52,532 Speaker 2: Mark Lunday, that's Mark Lunday. Should you take a picture 1611 01:21:52,532 --> 01:21:54,852 Speaker 2: of him? Should you go up and talk to him? 1612 01:21:55,213 --> 01:21:55,372 Speaker 8: Oh? 1613 01:21:55,452 --> 01:21:57,492 Speaker 3: Absolutely? What I would do all of the above. What 1614 01:21:57,772 --> 01:21:59,253 Speaker 3: would be the problem with that? Do you think that 1615 01:21:59,293 --> 01:22:01,812 Speaker 3: would be impinging on Mark Lundy's right? Well, look if 1616 01:22:01,853 --> 01:22:03,173 Speaker 3: I went up to and if I saw him on 1617 01:22:03,173 --> 01:22:05,333 Speaker 3: the street and said, hey, it's Mark Lundy, I'm going 1618 01:22:05,372 --> 01:22:08,213 Speaker 3: to go up and say hello, and he told me 1619 01:22:08,372 --> 01:22:11,013 Speaker 3: to bugger off, then I would bugger off whatever he 1620 01:22:11,173 --> 01:22:11,772 Speaker 3: was up for a bit. 1621 01:22:11,652 --> 01:22:12,053 Speaker 2: Of a chat. 1622 01:22:12,093 --> 01:22:13,293 Speaker 3: Then what is wrong with that? 1623 01:22:13,452 --> 01:22:17,173 Speaker 2: Well, well he's paroled, right and with a bunch of conditions. 1624 01:22:17,973 --> 01:22:20,292 Speaker 2: But do that makes him just a member of society? 1625 01:22:20,372 --> 01:22:22,492 Speaker 2: So do you just go up and take pictures of 1626 01:22:22,652 --> 01:22:27,333 Speaker 2: people that you're interested in? I mean, I don't know. 1627 01:22:28,253 --> 01:22:30,052 Speaker 2: I was on a plane with a famous person recently 1628 01:22:30,093 --> 01:22:33,852 Speaker 2: and a bunch of people just taking pictures of them. Yeah. Yeah, 1629 01:22:33,853 --> 01:22:35,532 Speaker 2: I mean it's very different because he's not he's a 1630 01:22:35,572 --> 01:22:38,732 Speaker 2: famous person, but he's not a famous person that makes 1631 01:22:38,812 --> 01:22:40,652 Speaker 2: money from being a famous person. If you know what 1632 01:22:40,692 --> 01:22:43,253 Speaker 2: I mean. So a celebrity has skin in the game 1633 01:22:43,333 --> 01:22:45,932 Speaker 2: because their faces are out there. They're whatever they're doing, 1634 01:22:45,933 --> 01:22:49,133 Speaker 2: they're in movies, they're whatever they're doing. They're making money 1635 01:22:49,133 --> 01:22:52,692 Speaker 2: from their image. So taking a picture of them, they're 1636 01:22:52,732 --> 01:22:54,372 Speaker 2: kind of already in the in the game, if you do, 1637 01:22:54,372 --> 01:22:57,092 Speaker 2: know what I mean. But Mark Lundey is just a dude. 1638 01:22:57,253 --> 01:23:00,092 Speaker 2: And I don't know, like from a news perspective, because 1639 01:23:00,133 --> 01:23:01,692 Speaker 2: just looking at this picture, do we really need to 1640 01:23:01,692 --> 01:23:05,333 Speaker 2: see this picture of Mark Lundy in his car in 1641 01:23:05,412 --> 01:23:09,772 Speaker 2: a car? I don't know, I mean, And I'm looking 1642 01:23:09,812 --> 01:23:12,293 Speaker 2: at in the Herald. Now the Herald spotted a bespecta 1643 01:23:12,333 --> 01:23:15,172 Speaker 2: called Lundy wearing an oversized hoodie, track pants and jendles 1644 01:23:15,173 --> 01:23:17,333 Speaker 2: going for a drive with one of his supporters today. 1645 01:23:17,692 --> 01:23:19,772 Speaker 3: But it's incredibly newsworthy, though, wasn't it. A lot of 1646 01:23:19,772 --> 01:23:21,013 Speaker 3: people would be interested in that. 1647 01:23:21,532 --> 01:23:23,652 Speaker 2: I am interested in it. 1648 01:23:23,772 --> 01:23:25,932 Speaker 3: Yeah, So it's a very fascinating case. 1649 01:23:26,572 --> 01:23:28,692 Speaker 2: I'm hugely interested in the whole case. Yeah, And I 1650 01:23:28,732 --> 01:23:31,172 Speaker 2: am as interested to see the picture and I'm interested 1651 01:23:31,253 --> 01:23:33,932 Speaker 2: to where he is. But should I be, you know? 1652 01:23:34,812 --> 01:23:36,772 Speaker 2: And I also think the whole it's quite interesting his 1653 01:23:36,812 --> 01:23:38,933 Speaker 2: parole terms as well well. I'd love to hear your 1654 01:23:38,933 --> 01:23:40,972 Speaker 2: thoughts on this O way one hundred and eighty ten eighty, 1655 01:23:41,133 --> 01:23:43,372 Speaker 2: whether you think he should just be let be? As 1656 01:23:43,412 --> 01:23:46,092 Speaker 2: this textas says, why would you? Oh, the text machine 1657 01:23:46,133 --> 01:23:47,932 Speaker 2: just blew up a thousand texts came through just when 1658 01:23:47,933 --> 01:23:49,213 Speaker 2: I was trying to read that one out and dropped 1659 01:23:49,213 --> 01:23:51,412 Speaker 2: it to the bottom of the page. But I think 1660 01:23:51,452 --> 01:23:53,412 Speaker 2: it's basically, why the hell would you want to take 1661 01:23:53,452 --> 01:23:55,333 Speaker 2: a picture of Lundy? Yeah, leave him alone. 1662 01:23:55,412 --> 01:23:56,772 Speaker 3: Love to hear your thoughts on this one. I eight 1663 01:23:56,893 --> 01:23:59,972 Speaker 3: hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call. It 1664 01:24:00,053 --> 01:24:03,452 Speaker 3: is twelve past three. A whole bunch of texts have 1665 01:24:03,572 --> 01:24:06,052 Speaker 3: come through. We'll get to some of those very shortly 1666 01:24:06,173 --> 01:24:06,692 Speaker 3: as well. 1667 01:24:07,213 --> 01:24:10,812 Speaker 2: I've got a question. His release conditions included a ban 1668 01:24:11,013 --> 01:24:14,452 Speaker 2: on using social media, including dating sites, and you know, 1669 01:24:14,492 --> 01:24:16,532 Speaker 2: as I said before on the show, I don't know 1670 01:24:16,532 --> 01:24:18,652 Speaker 2: how many people would swipe right on Lundy to start with, 1671 01:24:18,772 --> 01:24:21,692 Speaker 2: but as also a ban on looking at pornography, and 1672 01:24:21,732 --> 01:24:24,093 Speaker 2: he has to hand as digital device is in with 1673 01:24:24,133 --> 01:24:25,972 Speaker 2: passwords so that people can look at it. Why would 1674 01:24:26,013 --> 01:24:28,852 Speaker 2: a person that's been paroled there's been no sexual nature 1675 01:24:28,893 --> 01:24:30,972 Speaker 2: in anything he's been involved in. 1676 01:24:30,933 --> 01:24:31,692 Speaker 3: It's a great question. 1677 01:24:32,213 --> 01:24:34,932 Speaker 2: Why is pornography part of the parole terms? 1678 01:24:35,053 --> 01:24:36,852 Speaker 3: If you know, loves to hear from you. Nine two 1679 01:24:36,933 --> 01:24:38,732 Speaker 3: nine two is the text number, and one hundred and 1680 01:24:38,732 --> 01:24:42,532 Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty. It is twelve past three. Very good 1681 01:24:42,532 --> 01:24:44,572 Speaker 3: afternoon to you. It is fourteen past three, and we're 1682 01:24:44,572 --> 01:24:46,852 Speaker 3: talking about the release of Mark Lundy. He has been 1683 01:24:46,973 --> 01:24:49,612 Speaker 3: released from prison after serving more than twenty three years 1684 01:24:49,692 --> 01:24:52,933 Speaker 3: for murder. He has maintained his innocence all along, and 1685 01:24:52,973 --> 01:24:55,333 Speaker 3: he does plan to continue fighting to clear his name. 1686 01:24:55,372 --> 01:24:59,053 Speaker 3: But his release has included strict conditions and a suppression 1687 01:24:59,173 --> 01:25:00,773 Speaker 3: order on his living arrangements. 1688 01:25:00,973 --> 01:25:03,452 Speaker 2: And I said before, it's strange that there's a ban 1689 01:25:03,772 --> 01:25:06,333 Speaker 2: on him looking at any pornograph. He's not allowed on 1690 01:25:06,412 --> 01:25:09,012 Speaker 2: dating sites, and I said, there's no sexual actu or anything. 1691 01:25:09,053 --> 01:25:12,972 Speaker 2: But I guess back then in two thousand, nineteen ninety nine, 1692 01:25:14,013 --> 01:25:18,133 Speaker 2: he was with a prostitute, wasn't he in the motel room, 1693 01:25:18,452 --> 01:25:23,532 Speaker 2: which at that point was illegal? So maybe that's why. 1694 01:25:23,133 --> 01:25:25,372 Speaker 3: Taken into a consideration, or is that just a general 1695 01:25:25,492 --> 01:25:26,333 Speaker 3: term of being paroled? 1696 01:25:26,333 --> 01:25:28,293 Speaker 2: But you, yeah, I'd like to know that are you 1697 01:25:28,452 --> 01:25:31,892 Speaker 2: generally not allowed to look at a pornography on parole. 1698 01:25:32,612 --> 01:25:34,372 Speaker 2: It's an interesting one. I mean, you could argue that, 1699 01:25:35,612 --> 01:25:38,173 Speaker 2: I don't know, complicated pornography. He might calm people down 1700 01:25:38,213 --> 01:25:39,053 Speaker 2: and stop them doing things. 1701 01:25:39,133 --> 01:25:41,093 Speaker 3: Yeah, but genuine question, I mean, does that mean he 1702 01:25:41,093 --> 01:25:43,293 Speaker 3: can't go down and get a magazine? I suppose it does. 1703 01:25:43,333 --> 01:25:45,412 Speaker 3: I mean it's just a strange part of those conditions. 1704 01:25:45,412 --> 01:25:47,812 Speaker 3: But if you have been paroled, I'd love to hear 1705 01:25:47,812 --> 01:25:48,133 Speaker 3: from you. 1706 01:25:48,213 --> 01:25:50,412 Speaker 2: I mean, Lundy rocking into a dairy to trow and 1707 01:25:50,532 --> 01:25:54,293 Speaker 2: buy an adult magazine, it. 1708 01:25:54,253 --> 01:25:55,053 Speaker 3: Would be a good lot. 1709 01:25:55,173 --> 01:25:57,972 Speaker 2: I've questioned the need to take photos of Lundy, and 1710 01:25:58,013 --> 01:26:00,213 Speaker 2: I believe maybe just leave him alone and take don't 1711 01:26:00,253 --> 01:26:01,772 Speaker 2: take a snap. Tyler is very keen to take as 1712 01:26:01,812 --> 01:26:04,253 Speaker 2: many snaps as he can of Lundy. But if I 1713 01:26:04,293 --> 01:26:06,692 Speaker 2: saw Lundy in a dairy buying a. 1714 01:26:09,093 --> 01:26:11,932 Speaker 3: Stick man yep, an adult make yeah, I'll probably take 1715 01:26:12,013 --> 01:26:15,293 Speaker 3: the truth. There you go and you come across eventually. 1716 01:26:15,652 --> 01:26:19,452 Speaker 2: Craig, welcome to the show. 1717 01:26:19,532 --> 01:26:22,972 Speaker 3: Are you're good?

I believe personally that that's innocent. He 1722 01:26:38,492 --> 01:26:42,173 Speaker 4: brought up an interesting point earlier on the image of 1723 01:26:42,213 --> 01:26:44,412 Speaker 4: a lot of New Zealanders have of Mark Lundy is 1724 01:26:44,853 --> 01:26:49,053 Speaker 4: standing there distraught being held up. My supporters and a 1725 01:26:49,093 --> 01:26:52,093 Speaker 4: lot of Kiwi's thought that perhaps he was putting it on. 1726 01:26:53,053 --> 01:26:55,652 Speaker 4: But what they don't realize is what he was actually 1727 01:26:55,652 --> 01:26:59,213 Speaker 4: watching was thehears leaving with his wife and children in it. 1728 01:27:00,853 --> 01:27:03,652 Speaker 4: Thinking that counter fore he is innocent. His actions were 1729 01:27:03,772 --> 01:27:07,012 Speaker 4: justified one hundred percent. That to me, that wasn't fake, 1730 01:27:07,053 --> 01:27:09,452 Speaker 4: that that was her, That was you and hurt.

I'm saying, I don't know the answer 1801 01:30:30,093 --> 01:30:31,612 Speaker 2: to the question whether he's in a sort or not. 1802 01:30:31,732 --> 01:30:34,412 Speaker 2: He's definitely guilty in the eyes of the law. He's 1803 01:30:34,412 --> 01:30:38,852 Speaker 2: definitely been found guilty. But that's not necessarily the truth, 1804 01:30:38,893 --> 01:30:41,612 Speaker 2: and there are undoubtedly questions about it, but that's not 1805 01:30:41,652 --> 01:30:43,972 Speaker 2: really what we're talking about.

And that is a situation here, and he 1813 01:31:01,692 --> 01:31:04,253 Speaker 3: now has to try and reintegrate into society as best 1814 01:31:04,293 --> 01:31:07,012 Speaker 3: he can. The question we've got is does it help 1815 01:31:07,133 --> 01:31:09,293 Speaker 3: or hinder if he has read recognized in the street 1816 01:31:09,293 --> 01:31:11,333 Speaker 3: of people take photos of them.

He should 1820 01:31:19,412 --> 01:31:21,092 Speaker 2: therefore be allowed to get on with his life. 1821 01:31:21,412 --> 01:31:25,253 Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely.

And what's your view on this? 1825 01:31:34,333 --> 01:31:37,333 Speaker 12: I think that Mark should be left alone. I would 1826 01:31:37,412 --> 01:31:44,172 Speaker 12: welcome them to my community. Of course, I've never believed 1827 01:31:44,173 --> 01:31:48,573 Speaker 12: he was guilty, but that's not for me to say. However, 1828 01:31:49,612 --> 01:31:54,652 Speaker 12: he has twenty three years in prison. I can't imagine 1829 01:31:54,893 --> 01:32:02,652 Speaker 12: what that would have been like if you're innocent. And 1830 01:32:02,692 --> 01:32:06,452 Speaker 12: a look at what happened to Arthur around Thomas. So 1831 01:32:07,173 --> 01:32:13,173 Speaker 12: there have been missed courages, oh, miss carriages of justice. 1832 01:32:13,853 --> 01:32:19,333 Speaker 12: So I just wish him are the best and hope 1833 01:32:19,412 --> 01:32:24,493 Speaker 12: that New Zealand will embrace him back into where every lives. 1834 01:32:24,853 --> 01:32:26,852 Speaker 2: Now, Jill, you happen to think that he is an 1835 01:32:26,853 --> 01:32:31,092 Speaker 2: assenting You've followed the case obviously for quite some time, 1836 01:32:31,452 --> 01:32:33,932 Speaker 2: and you would and you say that you would welcome 1837 01:32:33,973 --> 01:32:37,412 Speaker 2: him into your neighborhood. But if you happen to think 1838 01:32:37,492 --> 01:32:40,852 Speaker 2: that he was guilty, would you still welcome him into 1839 01:32:40,853 --> 01:32:41,773 Speaker 2: your neighborhood. 1840 01:32:45,013 --> 01:32:51,652 Speaker 12: Yes, everyone deserves a second chance. If I thought he 1841 01:32:51,893 --> 01:32:54,892 Speaker 12: was well, you see, I don't think he was guilty. 1842 01:32:56,173 --> 01:32:59,052 Speaker 12: So that's a very hard question really to answer. 1843 01:33:00,253 --> 01:33:05,012 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean yeah, if something that wasn't true was true, 1844 01:33:05,053 --> 01:33:06,852 Speaker 2: how would you feel as as kind of a difficult 1845 01:33:06,893 --> 01:33:11,293 Speaker 2: question to answer, isn't it? As an Jill? But thank 1846 01:33:11,333 --> 01:33:13,093 Speaker 2: you so much for your call. I appreciate that, Jill. 1847 01:33:13,253 --> 01:33:15,692 Speaker 3: Yeap plenty of texts coming through on this guys. I 1848 01:33:15,732 --> 01:33:18,372 Speaker 3: would not be happy to have him in my neighborhood. 1849 01:33:19,093 --> 01:33:22,133 Speaker 3: Wish he hadn't been paroled. I feel there is a 1850 01:33:22,133 --> 01:33:24,293 Speaker 3: difference between the fact he has been found guilty of 1851 01:33:24,293 --> 01:33:26,852 Speaker 3: two murders and has not been cleared by a legal 1852 01:33:26,893 --> 01:33:30,892 Speaker 3: misjustice he has committed murder until he is found to 1853 01:33:31,133 --> 01:33:31,612 Speaker 3: have not. 1854 01:33:33,372 --> 01:33:36,412 Speaker 2: Gen says, just tuned into the run radio Lundy is 1855 01:33:36,452 --> 01:33:38,852 Speaker 2: no longer national news. Leave the guy in peace. Shame 1856 01:33:38,893 --> 01:33:41,892 Speaker 2: on you, regards, Jen. You have just tuned in because 1857 01:33:41,893 --> 01:33:43,492 Speaker 2: we're saying that he is in the national news and 1858 01:33:43,532 --> 01:33:46,092 Speaker 2: there is a photograph of him that has been published. 1859 01:33:46,492 --> 01:33:49,572 Speaker 2: So quite wrong there, Jen, He is in the national news. 1860 01:33:49,652 --> 01:33:53,412 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I mean there's a lot of people texting 1861 01:33:53,452 --> 01:33:55,652 Speaker 3: through saying that he should still be in prison. But 1862 01:33:55,772 --> 01:33:59,173 Speaker 3: unfortunately with our justice system, well maybe not unfortunately, but 1863 01:33:59,253 --> 01:34:02,732 Speaker 3: it is just the way it operates that if you 1864 01:34:02,812 --> 01:34:05,412 Speaker 3: are convicted for a certain period of time and you 1865 01:34:05,452 --> 01:34:07,253 Speaker 3: serve your time, you are a release back out into 1866 01:34:07,293 --> 01:34:08,852 Speaker 3: the community. That is how it works. 1867 01:34:09,053 --> 01:34:12,053 Speaker 2: Yeah. This person said, I'm really disgusted and disappointed in 1868 01:34:12,093 --> 01:34:14,572 Speaker 2: you guys that you think he's done his time. And 1869 01:34:14,933 --> 01:34:17,973 Speaker 2: it's not a that's not a matter of whether we 1870 01:34:18,053 --> 01:34:20,772 Speaker 2: think it or not. He has done his time and 1871 01:34:20,853 --> 01:34:23,213 Speaker 2: has been paroled, so he's still got his parole time. 1872 01:34:23,253 --> 01:34:24,692 Speaker 2: So it's not a matter of whether we think that's 1873 01:34:24,732 --> 01:34:28,852 Speaker 2: the case or not. It is the case. Yeah, And 1874 01:34:28,933 --> 01:34:30,532 Speaker 2: you know, he could have been probably would have been 1875 01:34:30,532 --> 01:34:33,253 Speaker 2: out earlier, almost definitely would have been out earlier if 1876 01:34:33,253 --> 01:34:37,772 Speaker 2: he had said he was guilty. But he's always maintained 1877 01:34:37,772 --> 01:34:40,892 Speaker 2: his innocence, which creates an interesting catch twenty two. That's 1878 01:34:40,933 --> 01:34:44,212 Speaker 2: sort of well known, isn't it that if you maintain 1879 01:34:44,372 --> 01:34:47,812 Speaker 2: your innocence, then you were seen to in some way 1880 01:34:47,933 --> 01:34:51,253 Speaker 2: not have rehabilitated yourself, which is a catch twenty two 1881 01:34:51,333 --> 01:34:53,612 Speaker 2: if you actually are innocent. And I'm not saying lundy is, 1882 01:34:53,692 --> 01:34:59,132 Speaker 2: I don't know. I have, you know, no particular insights 1883 01:34:59,133 --> 01:35:01,612 Speaker 2: into that. I mean, I've read problems with the case 1884 01:35:02,293 --> 01:35:04,372 Speaker 2: that have I initially, like I think most of New 1885 01:35:04,452 --> 01:35:07,812 Speaker 2: Zealand initially just went that guy did it. And the 1886 01:35:07,893 --> 01:35:10,612 Speaker 2: idea in my head that I would ever question it 1887 01:35:10,812 --> 01:35:13,852 Speaker 2: would have been outrageous to me all those years ago. 1888 01:35:14,293 --> 01:35:17,412 Speaker 2: But then you know, reading a lot of what Mike 1889 01:35:17,532 --> 01:35:20,812 Speaker 2: Mike White has written, and you know there are questions. 1890 01:35:20,853 --> 01:35:23,213 Speaker 3: Yep, he's a very good investigative reporter, Mike White. I mean, 1891 01:35:23,253 --> 01:35:25,852 Speaker 3: it is similar to the Scott Watson case. And again 1892 01:35:26,013 --> 01:35:29,372 Speaker 3: no opinion on whether he is guilty or innocent, but 1893 01:35:29,452 --> 01:35:31,492 Speaker 3: he will serve his time and he will be paroled. 1894 01:35:31,492 --> 01:35:33,812 Speaker 3: At the end of that time, and again another case 1895 01:35:33,933 --> 01:35:37,772 Speaker 3: that is infamous. But by the very nature that he 1896 01:35:37,772 --> 01:35:39,852 Speaker 3: has always claimed he has been innocent, he has not 1897 01:35:40,412 --> 01:35:42,452 Speaker 3: been paroled. He has had to serve out his time, 1898 01:35:42,772 --> 01:35:44,732 Speaker 3: and that is the way the justice system works. 1899 01:35:44,933 --> 01:35:47,052 Speaker 2: This six, says guys as part of his parole conditions, 1900 01:35:47,213 --> 01:35:50,012 Speaker 2: might suggest it's illegal to take unsolicited photos of him 1901 01:35:50,053 --> 01:35:52,572 Speaker 2: given the non disclosure of his whereabouts. I mean, in 1902 01:35:52,652 --> 01:35:55,532 Speaker 2: this picture that is in the Herald, you can't see 1903 01:35:55,973 --> 01:35:57,972 Speaker 2: where he is. You can just see him in the car. 1904 01:35:58,213 --> 01:36:02,452 Speaker 2: But it would definitely be illegal to take a photo 1905 01:36:02,492 --> 01:36:07,652 Speaker 2: of him with the sign with a street sign and 1906 01:36:07,692 --> 01:36:11,013 Speaker 2: shot or a welcome to wherever it is. I just 1907 01:36:11,013 --> 01:36:13,572 Speaker 2: think there's something kind of weird about taking pictures of them. 1908 01:36:14,093 --> 01:36:17,412 Speaker 2: You know, that's just something. But it is newsworthy and 1909 01:36:17,452 --> 01:36:19,692 Speaker 2: I'm interested in it, and so it is news, if 1910 01:36:19,732 --> 01:36:21,133 Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So at the same time, 1911 01:36:21,173 --> 01:36:22,732 Speaker 2: I think it's odd to take a picture of him, 1912 01:36:23,053 --> 01:36:25,092 Speaker 2: it is it is newsworthy in a way. 1913 01:36:24,973 --> 01:36:26,812 Speaker 3: And they're going to end up on social media, right 1914 01:36:27,213 --> 01:36:29,572 Speaker 3: Eventually someone's going to take a picture of him and 1915 01:36:29,612 --> 01:36:34,013 Speaker 3: expose where he is living. Chris, you reckon leave him 1916 01:36:34,013 --> 01:36:34,612 Speaker 3: alone as well. 1917 01:36:35,492 --> 01:36:37,492 Speaker 17: Well, I mean, look, you know I live in times 1918 01:36:38,173 --> 01:36:41,892 Speaker 17: and look, Mark Lundy is not as worth as some 1919 01:36:41,933 --> 01:36:43,852 Speaker 17: of them that are walking around here. We have sexual 1920 01:36:43,893 --> 01:36:47,933 Speaker 17: offenders walking around the streets and people on bail or 1921 01:36:48,572 --> 01:36:52,932 Speaker 17: parole or you know whatever serious crime done. Look, Mark 1922 01:36:53,013 --> 01:36:56,052 Speaker 17: Lundy's least the problem worry that we have to worry about, 1923 01:36:56,253 --> 01:37:02,693 Speaker 17: and he's welcome like anybody else to be in the neighborhoods. 1924 01:37:03,093 --> 01:37:05,692 Speaker 17: We can't prove he did it or didn't. I think 1925 01:37:05,732 --> 01:37:09,133 Speaker 17: people have speculating that he did, but they weren't there 1926 01:37:09,173 --> 01:37:12,093 Speaker 17: when that happened. That he's the only one that knows 1927 01:37:12,492 --> 01:37:18,173 Speaker 17: what happened. And yeah, I think it's illegal to take 1928 01:37:18,173 --> 01:37:23,333 Speaker 17: photos of somebody under the current law without permission. Apparently 1929 01:37:23,372 --> 01:37:27,692 Speaker 17: it's a Privacy Act breach unless you say you're going 1930 01:37:27,732 --> 01:37:29,452 Speaker 17: to take a photo of that person in there, all. 1931 01:37:29,452 --> 01:37:29,932 Speaker 22: Right with it? 1932 01:37:30,253 --> 01:37:34,333 Speaker 17: I thought that was the law. But Mark Lundy, I 1933 01:37:34,372 --> 01:37:37,612 Speaker 17: don't see anything high risk of him. He hasn't done 1934 01:37:37,612 --> 01:37:38,452 Speaker 17: sexual offending. 1935 01:37:39,053 --> 01:37:39,492 Speaker 18: He has't. 1936 01:37:39,612 --> 01:37:45,412 Speaker 17: He's not a risk to children. Maybe how well I'm 1937 01:37:45,412 --> 01:37:50,372 Speaker 17: saying that in an opinion because you know, well we 1938 01:37:50,492 --> 01:37:52,852 Speaker 17: can't prove that he did it. And even though he 1939 01:37:52,893 --> 01:37:55,492 Speaker 17: did face the time and he's done it. I think 1940 01:37:55,532 --> 01:37:58,772 Speaker 17: people should just kind of like, you know, think about 1941 01:37:59,372 --> 01:38:01,972 Speaker 17: the rest of the criminals or people who are out 1942 01:38:02,013 --> 01:38:05,612 Speaker 17: there on the street that maybe he's not as high 1943 01:38:05,692 --> 01:38:07,772 Speaker 17: priority as the ones that are out there who are 1944 01:38:07,812 --> 01:38:12,452 Speaker 17: wondering around the more serious problems in their background on 1945 01:38:12,812 --> 01:38:14,133 Speaker 17: what they are do you. 1946 01:38:14,133 --> 01:38:15,213 Speaker 3: Know yea, yeah, so. 1947 01:38:16,652 --> 01:38:17,652 Speaker 17: That's what I was asking. 1948 01:38:17,893 --> 01:38:20,812 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, good on you, Chris. I appreciate that your call. 1949 01:38:21,452 --> 01:38:24,812 Speaker 2: It is generally unlawful. This is from the police dot 1950 01:38:24,933 --> 01:38:27,772 Speaker 2: gut dot NZ. It is generally unlawful to take photos 1951 01:38:27,772 --> 01:38:30,612 Speaker 2: of people in public places. Sorry, It is generally lawful 1952 01:38:30,612 --> 01:38:33,652 Speaker 2: to take photographs of people in public places without their consent. However, 1953 01:38:33,692 --> 01:38:35,972 Speaker 2: you must not film or take photos of people if 1954 01:38:36,013 --> 01:38:38,492 Speaker 2: they are in a place where they can expect privacy, 1955 01:38:38,572 --> 01:38:43,253 Speaker 2: such as a public changing area or a toilet. Yeah, 1956 01:38:43,372 --> 01:38:45,173 Speaker 2: so you can. I mean you're allowed to take You're 1957 01:38:45,213 --> 01:38:47,333 Speaker 2: abut to go up and snap people on the street.

He 1982 01:40:17,893 --> 01:40:20,372 Speaker 3: has been released from prison after serving more than twenty 1983 01:40:20,412 --> 01:40:23,973 Speaker 3: three years for murder. He has maintained his innocence and 1984 01:40:24,013 --> 01:40:26,093 Speaker 3: he plans to continue fighting to clear his name.

But there has 1987 01:40:33,933 --> 01:40:37,492 Speaker 3: been a photo snapped of him already in a car 1988 01:40:37,692 --> 01:40:40,412 Speaker 3: as he has been released from prison. But so we've 1989 01:40:40,412 --> 01:40:42,933 Speaker 3: asked the question, does he deserve the right to be 1990 01:40:43,013 --> 01:40:45,093 Speaker 3: left alone in the community? Oh, one hundred and eighty 1991 01:40:45,093 --> 01:40:45,732 Speaker 3: ten eighty. 1992 01:40:45,692 --> 01:40:48,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, and interesting, you can take a photo of him. Yeah, 1993 01:40:48,253 --> 01:40:50,372 Speaker 2: you can take a photo of anyone out in public. 1994 01:40:50,452 --> 01:40:53,012 Speaker 2: You can if you want. But should you is the question? 1995 01:40:53,412 --> 01:40:54,412 Speaker 2: You can? But should you? 1996 01:40:54,532 --> 01:40:56,333 Speaker 3: Yeah? Yep, need to get your thoughts. 1997 01:40:57,492 --> 01:41:00,452 Speaker 2: Absolutely impossible to enforce the law where you couldn't take 1998 01:41:00,572 --> 01:41:02,732 Speaker 2: photos of people in public because you could be taking 1999 01:41:02,772 --> 01:41:04,772 Speaker 2: a photo when someone just happens to be in the 2000 01:41:04,772 --> 01:41:08,012 Speaker 2: back of the shot for example. And look, I've taken 2001 01:41:08,013 --> 01:41:10,132 Speaker 2: pictures of people before by pretending to take a selfie, 2002 01:41:10,173 --> 01:41:11,612 Speaker 2: but I'm actually taking a picture of them because I 2003 01:41:11,612 --> 01:41:13,772 Speaker 2: think they've got an interesting hair doal or something. 2004 01:41:13,933 --> 01:41:16,692 Speaker 3: So it's a complimentary photo. You've seen something that is 2005 01:41:16,772 --> 01:41:18,492 Speaker 3: kind of a I like the look of that person 2006 01:41:18,532 --> 01:41:19,372 Speaker 3: and just a week. 2007 01:41:19,532 --> 01:41:21,412 Speaker 2: Normally I think they look ridiculous, and I send a 2008 01:41:21,452 --> 01:41:24,612 Speaker 2: picture to a friend. But I'm not a good person, so. 2009 01:41:27,053 --> 01:41:30,293 Speaker 3: And and sorry, what's your thoughts on this? 2010 01:41:31,492 --> 01:41:35,892 Speaker 21: Ah? Hi, guys, I like becoming with a different point 2011 01:41:35,893 --> 01:41:40,093 Speaker 21: of view here. I am a auntie of a young 2012 01:41:40,133 --> 01:41:45,972 Speaker 21: man who was killed and a hate horrible crime. Yeah, 2013 01:41:46,053 --> 01:41:49,892 Speaker 21: and you know, it's really hard on the family thinking 2014 01:41:50,253 --> 01:41:53,053 Speaker 21: this person will ever come out of jail because he 2015 01:41:53,093 --> 01:41:56,973 Speaker 21: could have a life which my nephew will never ever get. So, 2016 01:41:57,893 --> 01:42:01,253 Speaker 21: you know, it's really difficult to think this guy still 2017 01:42:01,253 --> 01:42:06,492 Speaker 21: pleads with absolute innocence. Everything was on CCTV and there 2018 01:42:06,532 --> 01:42:11,173 Speaker 21: was no doubt whatsoever happened. So I find it really 2019 01:42:11,213 --> 01:42:14,773 Speaker 21: hard when what we had to go through in court 2020 01:42:14,853 --> 01:42:18,212 Speaker 21: to prove the intent and prove that he was guilty. 2021 01:42:18,812 --> 01:42:21,452 Speaker 21: I do find it incredibly hard when people say that 2022 01:42:21,492 --> 01:42:27,372 Speaker 21: they're innocent, because the process is just intolerable. It's you know, 2023 01:42:27,893 --> 01:42:30,132 Speaker 21: the guy that was guilty didn't have to prove anything. 2024 01:42:30,133 --> 01:42:32,293 Speaker 21: He didn't have to prove innocence, but we had to 2025 01:42:32,333 --> 01:42:37,173 Speaker 21: prove all of the reasons, the intent, etc. But if 2026 01:42:37,213 --> 01:42:39,572 Speaker 21: this guy Mark he's been let out, you know, I 2027 01:42:39,612 --> 01:42:43,053 Speaker 21: feel for the family. I'm sorry. I don't feel anything 2028 01:42:43,133 --> 01:42:49,173 Speaker 21: towards him not having photos taken of him. He potentially, 2029 01:42:49,253 --> 01:42:53,173 Speaker 21: I guess, took two lives. But I feel for the 2030 01:42:53,253 --> 01:42:56,412 Speaker 21: family knowing that he's out. It must hurt them a 2031 01:42:56,412 --> 01:42:59,412 Speaker 21: lot because that poor little girl never had a chance 2032 01:42:59,452 --> 01:43:03,293 Speaker 21: at life. My nephew would never get married and have children, 2033 01:43:03,772 --> 01:43:05,852 Speaker 21: but his killer could come out and have a life 2034 01:43:05,853 --> 01:43:06,653 Speaker 21: for another. 2035 01:43:06,412 --> 01:43:11,412 Speaker 2: Forty fifty years now, and Gie the situation you're as terrible. 2036 01:43:11,412 --> 01:43:13,732 Speaker 2: And it sounds like you know, with the CCTV footage, 2037 01:43:13,933 --> 01:43:15,892 Speaker 2: and I don't know any details of the case, but 2038 01:43:15,933 --> 01:43:18,572 Speaker 2: it sounds like that is you know, you guys are 2039 01:43:18,612 --> 01:43:21,973 Speaker 2: absolutely sure, But would you agree that it is possible 2040 01:43:22,093 --> 01:43:25,852 Speaker 2: for someone to be wrongly convicted and sent to prison? 2041 01:43:27,732 --> 01:43:30,012 Speaker 21: Like I say, I do find it hard just because 2042 01:43:30,053 --> 01:43:31,572 Speaker 21: what we went through in court. 2043 01:43:31,692 --> 01:43:33,012 Speaker 2: Yeah, I get that, and. 2044 01:43:32,893 --> 01:43:36,652 Speaker 21: What we had to prove that you could actually be 2045 01:43:36,853 --> 01:43:40,772 Speaker 21: arrested and all that investigation happen, and the years and 2046 01:43:40,812 --> 01:43:44,252 Speaker 21: the time it takes for them not to be guilty, 2047 01:43:44,452 --> 01:43:47,452 Speaker 21: But I'm sure, of course it must happen, but I 2048 01:43:47,572 --> 01:43:51,532 Speaker 21: just know to experience what we went through. Man, Yeah, 2049 01:43:51,612 --> 01:43:53,692 Speaker 21: you don't get chosen to you know, you don't get 2050 01:43:53,732 --> 01:43:57,052 Speaker 21: accused of something unless there's a reason. 2051 01:43:58,133 --> 01:44:02,253 Speaker 2: Well, that sometimes happens, and I'm absolutely not saying that 2052 01:44:02,412 --> 01:44:04,452 Speaker 2: it is the case in your case, because it sounds 2053 01:44:04,492 --> 01:44:06,652 Speaker 2: definitely not the case in your case. But there are 2054 01:44:06,692 --> 01:44:10,732 Speaker 2: times when people get accused unfairly, and there definitely has 2055 01:44:10,732 --> 01:44:14,012 Speaker 2: been cases where people have gone away, and the legal 2056 01:44:14,053 --> 01:44:17,772 Speaker 2: system is definitely weighted in the idea that it's better 2057 01:44:17,812 --> 01:44:22,092 Speaker 2: to let and let someone guilty go than put someone 2058 01:44:22,133 --> 01:44:25,173 Speaker 2: innocent in prison, so you know, they beyond reasonable doubt, 2059 01:44:25,253 --> 01:44:27,652 Speaker 2: and there's a there's a high bar to convict someone, 2060 01:44:27,692 --> 01:44:31,892 Speaker 2: which is hard obviously in your case, because it seems 2061 01:44:31,933 --> 01:44:34,812 Speaker 2: like there wasn't any reasonable doubt, you know, if there's 2062 01:44:34,853 --> 01:44:42,253 Speaker 2: CCTV footage and such. But yeah, I mean it's horrible. 2063 01:44:42,293 --> 01:44:44,612 Speaker 2: It's a horrible situation and it's hard to talk to 2064 01:44:44,652 --> 01:44:48,133 Speaker 2: you about it because I can only imagine how you feel. 2065 01:44:48,412 --> 01:44:52,093 Speaker 3: And were you brought into the parole process, was were 2066 01:44:52,173 --> 01:44:54,972 Speaker 3: your thoughts and feelings taken into account? 2067 01:44:57,452 --> 01:45:01,492 Speaker 21: No, the family statements. I'm trying to think of the 2068 01:45:01,532 --> 01:45:06,492 Speaker 21: word that goes towards the decision weren't allowed to be read, 2069 01:45:07,652 --> 01:45:11,013 Speaker 21: the hurt statement. It's kind of thing. So no, so 2070 01:45:11,053 --> 01:45:14,692 Speaker 21: he got given life without parole because that was the 2071 01:45:14,812 --> 01:45:19,812 Speaker 21: minimum sentence he could get. But our feelings and what 2072 01:45:19,853 --> 01:45:23,492 Speaker 21: we've been through were taken into consideration at all. The 2073 01:45:23,572 --> 01:45:28,052 Speaker 21: interesting thing is the judge did say that this person 2074 01:45:28,133 --> 01:45:32,732 Speaker 21: did have to show that had been rehabilitated, etc. And 2075 01:45:32,973 --> 01:45:36,372 Speaker 21: the judge, you know, highly doubted that that could happen 2076 01:45:36,732 --> 01:45:39,892 Speaker 21: due to the actions of this person themselves. So very 2077 01:45:39,893 --> 01:45:42,812 Speaker 21: different too, obviously your scenario. But I thought i'd just 2078 01:45:42,893 --> 01:45:44,052 Speaker 21: ring from the family. 2079 01:45:44,133 --> 01:45:46,932 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, absolutely, Hey, and I'm really really appreciate that, 2080 01:45:47,173 --> 01:45:50,133 Speaker 2: and once again sorry for all you've been through that 2081 01:45:50,133 --> 01:45:52,213 Speaker 2: that must be. I can't even imagine how rough that is. 2082 01:45:52,253 --> 01:45:54,213 Speaker 2: So thank you so much for your call. Really appreciate it. 2083 01:45:55,173 --> 01:45:55,452 Speaker 21: Thanks. 2084 01:45:55,732 --> 01:45:57,852 Speaker 3: Thanks, and oh, e one hundred and eighty ten eighty 2085 01:45:57,933 --> 01:45:59,412 Speaker 3: is the number to call if you want to send 2086 01:45:59,412 --> 01:46:01,253 Speaker 3: a text message more than welcome.

Leave him be, Whereas this text disagrees. 2099 01:46:34,293 --> 01:46:36,412 Speaker 2: I hope Mark Lundy has no peace. He's a convicted 2100 01:46:36,492 --> 01:46:39,333 Speaker 2: murderer that should have been given an actual life long sentence. 2101 01:46:39,572 --> 01:46:42,772 Speaker 2: We're too lenient in New Zealand and have very short 2102 01:46:42,772 --> 01:46:46,572 Speaker 2: memories and sentences. And this Texas says, is twenty three 2103 01:46:46,652 --> 01:46:51,972 Speaker 2: years enough for what he did. Yeah, well, there's those 2104 01:46:52,333 --> 01:46:54,892 Speaker 2: the two sides of the of the conversation. Yeah, but 2105 01:46:55,013 --> 01:46:58,133 Speaker 2: we're really asking the question should he be let be? 2106 01:46:58,532 --> 01:47:01,293 Speaker 2: Should should people go up and tell it take photos them? 2107 01:47:01,973 --> 01:47:04,652 Speaker 2: Tyler thinks yes, Tyler would run up and take a 2108 01:47:04,652 --> 01:47:05,293 Speaker 2: photo with him. 2109 01:47:05,612 --> 01:47:07,972 Speaker 3: Hey, I'm going to requalify that and say I wouldn't 2110 01:47:08,013 --> 01:47:09,732 Speaker 3: take a but you're more than welcome to take a 2111 01:47:09,732 --> 01:47:11,852 Speaker 3: photo of Mark Lunday if you see a mountain about right. 2112 01:47:12,253 --> 01:47:14,213 Speaker 3: I've never taken a photo with anyone. I mean, we'd 2113 01:47:14,253 --> 01:47:16,172 Speaker 3: had a chat about this with the Robbi Williams situation. 2114 01:47:16,293 --> 01:47:19,372 Speaker 3: I've never come up to any celebrity and said hello 2115 01:47:19,492 --> 01:47:20,933 Speaker 3: or asked for a photograph. But if you want to 2116 01:47:20,973 --> 01:47:23,732 Speaker 3: do that, then that is part of a free society. 2117 01:47:24,053 --> 01:47:26,173 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the photo we're talking about is in 2118 01:47:26,213 --> 01:47:29,612 Speaker 2: the Herald, and so arguably it's newsworthy to take a 2119 01:47:29,612 --> 01:47:33,172 Speaker 2: photo of him, although you absolutely can't say where he is. Yeah, 2120 01:47:33,372 --> 01:47:37,492 Speaker 2: that's suppressed. So it's arguably newsworthy. But if you're just 2121 01:47:37,532 --> 01:47:39,652 Speaker 2: a person, what are you taking the photo for? Just 2122 01:47:39,692 --> 01:47:41,333 Speaker 2: so you can tell your mates that you took the photo. 2123 01:47:41,853 --> 01:47:44,492 Speaker 2: I mean, what about someone that goes up and gets 2124 01:47:44,492 --> 01:47:46,412 Speaker 2: a selfie with him? Would you support that? 2125 01:47:46,732 --> 01:47:50,572 Speaker 3: Well, if Mark Lundy said that was okay, I suppose yeah, yeah, 2126 01:47:50,652 --> 01:47:52,692 Speaker 3: I mean, I mean he's incredibly famous. 2127 01:47:52,933 --> 01:47:58,492 Speaker 2: Well, as someone keeps pointing out, he's infamous, famous, infamous. Yeah, 2128 01:47:58,572 --> 01:48:00,133 Speaker 2: depending on the way you look at a lot. Okay, 2129 01:48:00,213 --> 01:48:02,372 Speaker 2: let's put it a different way. Nearly everyone in New 2130 01:48:02,452 --> 01:48:05,732 Speaker 2: Zealand would recognize him if he walked into a room, 2131 01:48:05,853 --> 01:48:08,772 Speaker 2: absolutely right, And that's for a lot of people enough 2132 01:48:08,772 --> 01:48:10,812 Speaker 2: for them to want to take a photo because it's 2133 01:48:10,812 --> 01:48:14,213 Speaker 2: an interesting enough situation that someone that they've seen their 2134 01:48:14,253 --> 01:48:16,933 Speaker 2: face in the media a lot happens to be in 2135 01:48:16,973 --> 01:48:19,492 Speaker 2: the area they are in. Exactly, it's interesting enough for 2136 01:48:19,572 --> 01:48:21,293 Speaker 2: them to take a photograph so they can go to 2137 01:48:21,333 --> 01:48:25,492 Speaker 2: their friends and look, I'm pretending to be holy in there. 2138 01:48:25,612 --> 01:48:27,892 Speaker 2: I probably would think that's pretty interesting, and I might 2139 01:48:27,933 --> 01:48:30,253 Speaker 2: even take a secret photo different sure with my friends. 2140 01:48:30,452 --> 01:48:32,973 Speaker 2: But should I Does that make it? Or is there 2141 01:48:33,013 --> 01:48:33,692 Speaker 2: something wrong with us? 2142 01:48:35,093 --> 01:48:37,492 Speaker 3: Is a number to call Tilly?

Uh, even I might ask him for 2150 01:49:14,612 --> 01:49:16,852 Speaker 15: a cup of tea or coffee or whatever. 2151 01:49:17,053 --> 01:49:17,412 Speaker 4: She won. 2152 01:49:18,933 --> 01:49:22,492 Speaker 15: The thing is she's done his time, and not only 2153 01:49:22,692 --> 01:49:27,012 Speaker 15: ted he called bus the role boat as its pretty hard, 2154 01:49:27,853 --> 01:49:30,173 Speaker 15: so he must be do something in there to go 2155 01:49:30,333 --> 01:49:35,812 Speaker 15: past all the papers. Yeah, that's that's how my feeling 2156 01:49:35,812 --> 01:49:40,293 Speaker 15: about it. I mean to take photo, not now. I 2157 01:49:40,333 --> 01:49:45,012 Speaker 15: can't see why I had to go take photo because 2158 01:49:45,532 --> 01:49:48,772 Speaker 15: to me, the case is not finished. He still one 2159 01:49:49,053 --> 01:49:54,412 Speaker 15: to put the clear slag. So I will take a 2160 01:49:54,412 --> 01:49:57,412 Speaker 15: photo of him if he clear snag, like after Alan 2161 01:49:57,452 --> 01:50:01,093 Speaker 15: Thomas and all those kind of things, before Bowler and 2162 01:50:01,173 --> 01:50:06,213 Speaker 15: all these kind of people. But not now. Yeah, my opinion, well, 2163 01:50:06,333 --> 01:50:08,692 Speaker 15: he done his time. I'll say hello to him and 2164 01:50:09,333 --> 01:50:11,652 Speaker 15: try to know him. Man, go for him. It's just 2165 01:50:11,652 --> 01:50:12,732 Speaker 15: a human being like me. 2166 01:50:13,372 --> 01:50:15,213 Speaker 2: Well, I think if you're cool too, he yeah, thank 2167 01:50:15,213 --> 01:50:18,053 Speaker 2: you very much, and like a very magnanimous person. Absolutely, 2168 01:50:19,412 --> 01:50:21,253 Speaker 2: If you guys think it's okay to take a picture 2169 01:50:21,253 --> 01:50:23,372 Speaker 2: with a convictim murderer, you should you need to get 2170 01:50:23,412 --> 01:50:28,052 Speaker 2: another career. Well, I think we're probably well, we didn't 2171 01:50:28,093 --> 01:50:29,732 Speaker 2: say that. In fact, I said it would be weird 2172 01:50:29,772 --> 01:50:32,812 Speaker 2: to do that, so it's an odd text. But also 2173 01:50:32,933 --> 01:50:34,612 Speaker 2: I think we are in the career of people that 2174 01:50:34,692 --> 01:50:39,692 Speaker 2: do take pictures. We're in love it or lumpet. You 2175 01:50:39,692 --> 01:50:40,452 Speaker 2: and me are in the media. 2176 01:50:40,492 --> 01:50:43,253 Speaker 3: Tyler, yep, one hundred percent. And I can guarantee you know, 2177 01:50:43,293 --> 01:50:45,133 Speaker 3: there was the picture that we're talking about that is 2178 01:50:45,173 --> 01:50:47,492 Speaker 3: in the Herald, that will get a lot of clicks 2179 01:50:47,532 --> 01:50:49,772 Speaker 3: over the next twenty four hours. People are interested in 2180 01:50:49,812 --> 01:50:50,933 Speaker 3: that it is newsworthy. 2181 01:50:51,013 --> 01:50:51,412 Speaker 2: Is it right? 2182 01:50:51,452 --> 01:50:53,053 Speaker 3: There is the question that we're asking you. 2183 01:50:53,293 --> 01:50:55,572 Speaker 2: I certainly wouldn't feel under threat if Lundy moved into 2184 01:50:55,572 --> 01:50:58,652 Speaker 2: my neighborhood. It's not like he's a crazy loon out 2185 01:50:59,333 --> 01:51:00,652 Speaker 2: randomly attacking joggers. 2186 01:51:01,213 --> 01:51:03,253 Speaker 3: Keep those texts on nine two. 2187 01:51:03,532 --> 01:51:05,093 Speaker 2: You know too, he said he's been paroled, so they 2188 01:51:05,133 --> 01:51:08,012 Speaker 2: must know something. But you know, to play devil's advocate, 2189 01:51:08,013 --> 01:51:11,493 Speaker 2: there definitely have people that have been paroled and recently 2190 01:51:11,612 --> 01:51:13,892 Speaker 2: that have gone on you know, the pro board as 2191 01:51:13,893 --> 01:51:15,572 Speaker 2: definitely doesn't get it right one hundred percent of the 2192 01:51:15,572 --> 01:51:17,572 Speaker 2: time for sure, tragically very true. 2193 01:51:18,213 --> 01:51:20,093 Speaker 3: Ross, what's your thoughts on on this? 2194 01:51:21,933 --> 01:51:27,412 Speaker 19: Yeah, the guys, I can't remember the case years ago, 2195 01:51:27,492 --> 01:51:31,093 Speaker 19: so my opinion on where is your fu or not irrelevance? 2196 01:51:31,133 --> 01:51:34,013 Speaker 19: I wasn't done as well and the evidence presented, so 2197 01:51:34,213 --> 01:51:37,612 Speaker 19: I don't know, but my viewers had been prought back 2198 01:51:37,652 --> 01:51:39,853 Speaker 19: into the public eye because. 2199 01:51:42,213 --> 01:51:44,972 Speaker 3: Oh Ross, last year we might come back to Ross. 2200 01:51:45,013 --> 01:51:47,572 Speaker 2: We had the worst phone quality ever and then it 2201 01:51:47,652 --> 01:51:50,093 Speaker 2: disappeared completely. So we'll try and get Ross back on. 2202 01:51:50,293 --> 01:51:53,132 Speaker 3: Yep, let's go to Chris. In the meantime, Hey you Chris, 2203 01:51:54,293 --> 01:51:56,372 Speaker 3: Hi Tyler, how are you very good?

Well, I actually grew up in Palmi, did 2206 01:52:02,853 --> 01:52:05,892 Speaker 24: not know anyone personally, but I was aware of who 2207 01:52:05,893 --> 01:52:09,012 Speaker 24: that person is and we had it on talk back 2208 01:52:09,053 --> 01:52:14,652 Speaker 24: down here in Willington, Wellington today and here I really 2209 01:52:14,652 --> 01:52:16,932 Speaker 24: don't want to say what thoughts I have. I feel 2210 01:52:17,293 --> 01:52:20,253 Speaker 24: in some ways the process has happened and he's been 2211 01:52:20,293 --> 01:52:23,412 Speaker 24: allowed out. But like your earlier caller when she was 2212 01:52:23,452 --> 01:52:28,333 Speaker 24: talking about was it her family member, from my point 2213 01:52:28,372 --> 01:52:33,052 Speaker 24: of view, I think we're forgetting the biggest factor aside 2214 01:52:33,053 --> 01:52:37,333 Speaker 24: from that man, there is a family. After all these years, 2215 01:52:37,412 --> 01:52:41,773 Speaker 24: they're still grieving for their daughter, their sister, their auntie, 2216 01:52:42,173 --> 01:52:48,692 Speaker 24: their niece, and their grandchild. That's the best I can say. 2217 01:52:48,412 --> 01:52:51,852 Speaker 24: They've they've had a living here. They go in a 2218 01:52:51,893 --> 01:52:53,092 Speaker 24: living hell, aren't they? 2219 01:52:53,293 --> 01:52:55,532 Speaker 2: Absolutely? Absolutely? 2220 01:52:56,053 --> 01:52:58,492 Speaker 24: And so I don't want to I don't want to 2221 01:52:58,492 --> 01:53:02,732 Speaker 24: waste any energy on that man. Sorry. You know, the 2222 01:53:02,732 --> 01:53:07,692 Speaker 24: process has happened, you know, I due process with you 2223 01:53:07,732 --> 01:53:10,973 Speaker 24: want to acknowl that or not, but those those are 2224 01:53:11,013 --> 01:53:14,772 Speaker 24: the people that are my thoughts today.

We've got you back. 2238 01:53:44,053 --> 01:53:46,372 Speaker 14: Sorry about that, guys, that's not sure how much you 2239 01:53:46,692 --> 01:53:49,972 Speaker 14: But I say my opinion knows not whether he's guilty 2240 01:53:50,053 --> 01:53:53,852 Speaker 14: or not. I can't actually remember the case. Really, I 2241 01:53:53,893 --> 01:53:56,293 Speaker 14: wasn't one of the twelve with the even unpresented to 2242 01:53:56,333 --> 01:53:59,133 Speaker 14: say where you're guilty or not. He's Damer's time. But 2243 01:53:59,173 --> 01:54:01,932 Speaker 14: what I was trying to my point was I wasn't 2244 01:54:01,973 --> 01:54:03,772 Speaker 14: brought to the mead as the attention that he was 2245 01:54:03,812 --> 01:54:06,213 Speaker 14: getting released today and he was released in the middle 2246 01:54:06,213 --> 01:54:10,212 Speaker 14: of the night, taken to wherever integrate them too the public, 2247 01:54:10,532 --> 01:54:13,333 Speaker 14: how many people they actually know people will past me. Now, 2248 01:54:13,412 --> 01:54:16,612 Speaker 14: I wouldn't know them. Just someone else got pass on 2249 01:54:16,692 --> 01:54:18,213 Speaker 14: the street and it was like, I don't know how 2250 01:54:18,213 --> 01:54:19,572 Speaker 14: many other people will be the same. 2251 01:54:20,333 --> 01:54:24,012 Speaker 2: I find him. Maybe I've looked into the case too much, Ross, 2252 01:54:24,093 --> 01:54:26,173 Speaker 2: but I find them quite distinctive. 2253 01:54:26,652 --> 01:54:28,972 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would recognize them. But as a good point, 2254 01:54:29,013 --> 01:54:30,973 Speaker 3: I mean, we're both in the media. We follow the 2255 01:54:30,973 --> 01:54:33,253 Speaker 3: news very close to cases. 2256 01:54:33,293 --> 01:54:35,453 Speaker 2: When he was last out, when you know the case 2257 01:54:35,613 --> 01:54:38,373 Speaker 2: was being looked at again, he was hanging around in 2258 01:54:38,413 --> 01:54:41,013 Speaker 2: Auckland and a friend of mine was jogging and ran 2259 01:54:41,053 --> 01:54:43,453 Speaker 2: past them and then he called me and said, I 2260 01:54:43,533 --> 01:54:46,653 Speaker 2: just ran past Mark Lundy. Yeah, so some people there. 2261 01:54:46,613 --> 01:54:48,973 Speaker 14: Were people out there that will definitely recognize them. But 2262 01:54:50,213 --> 01:54:51,973 Speaker 14: how many people if they didn't know that he was 2263 01:54:52,013 --> 01:54:54,573 Speaker 14: released today and the photo wasn't release of how he 2264 01:54:54,693 --> 01:54:57,253 Speaker 14: is now, would actually know it was him. 2265 01:54:56,973 --> 01:54:58,413 Speaker 5: But there is people that well. 2266 01:54:58,453 --> 01:54:59,933 Speaker 14: But there's probably a lot of people there. 2267 01:55:00,653 --> 01:55:01,132 Speaker 24: Yeah. 2268 01:55:01,173 --> 01:55:03,293 Speaker 3: And so with all that said, Ross, you reckon leave 2269 01:55:03,333 --> 01:55:03,932 Speaker 3: them alone? 2270 01:55:04,853 --> 01:55:07,373 Speaker 14: Yeah, I think leave him alone. He's done the time 2271 01:55:07,453 --> 01:55:11,493 Speaker 14: that the system found them guilty of in the time, 2272 01:55:12,173 --> 01:55:14,413 Speaker 14: and the prole war was not that easy to get out. 2273 01:55:14,453 --> 01:55:18,733 Speaker 14: As the previous call that said I've been through, not personally, 2274 01:55:18,812 --> 01:55:21,132 Speaker 14: but I have family members that have been through the system, 2275 01:55:21,772 --> 01:55:24,533 Speaker 14: and yeah, it's not an easy thing to get out. 2276 01:55:24,653 --> 01:55:26,693 Speaker 14: So it's obviously jumped through the hopes he said to 2277 01:55:27,213 --> 01:55:30,333 Speaker 14: done the time that's been presented to him. Whether it's 2278 01:55:30,373 --> 01:55:34,413 Speaker 14: guilty or not, it's not my opinion. Yeah, so I 2279 01:55:34,413 --> 01:55:36,933 Speaker 14: think shouldn't leave him alone now. Yeah, but I do 2280 01:55:37,013 --> 01:55:40,533 Speaker 14: feel sorry for the family involved with with the BOFE 2281 01:55:40,573 --> 01:55:43,613 Speaker 14: and the kids and stuff obviously, But whether it's home 2282 01:55:43,693 --> 01:55:44,253 Speaker 14: or not, I don't know. 2283 01:55:44,733 --> 01:55:45,653 Speaker 8: My opinions I don't know. 2284 01:55:46,253 --> 01:55:48,213 Speaker 2: Yes, Well, thank you so much for you call.
