1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,840 Speaker 1: We got a new plan to deal with Auckland Transport 2 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: New Zealand first has produced a members build that have 3 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,120 Speaker 1: pulled and then passed. Will scrap them and return the 4 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: power to Auckland Council. Not surprisingly the Mayor Wayne Brown's 5 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 1: into it and you see them First Leader Winston Peter's 6 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: with us on this good morning to you, good mind, 7 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: you got any numbers worked out? If it gets pulled, you've. 8 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 2: Been voting numbers? Yeah, Well, of current sense prevails, it'll 9 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 2: go hosing through Parliament. Because this was set up in 10 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 2: two thousand and nine. It's been a serious as failure 11 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 2: and it's gone on year after year, massive complaints. The 12 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 2: whole city is if the advice and nothing's been done, 13 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 2: and we decided we need to do something about it 14 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:39,480 Speaker 2: and do it now. 15 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: Was it set up incorrectly just to explain it to 16 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: the rest of the country because they seem apowering to themselves. 17 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,520 Speaker 2: Certainly, you see it from the very beginning. It lacked 18 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 2: any democratic oversight and certain where you get issues about accountability, 19 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 2: court decision making and no transparency INWD cases between the 20 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 2: eight and the mayors. Has been a poet and as 21 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 2: a consultation with the communities they. 22 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: Felt like it, can you do anything about it? Or 23 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: can Wine Brown do anything about it? Or the council 24 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: do anything about it? If the bill doesn't get pulled, 25 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: in other word, consent to central would central government move 26 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 1: if they had to? 27 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 2: What the reality is that the mayor can't do a 28 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 2: thing about other councilors can't do a thing about it, 29 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 2: then we need to change the wrongful establishment of this 30 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 2: critical infrastructure in central government. Well, we'll see you very 31 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 2: quickly when they have a look at this legislation exactly. 32 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: All right, A couple of things while I've got you 33 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: for this Friday morning. Shane Jones and his attitude towards 34 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: the judiciary. Do you have an issue with his comments 35 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: or not? Really? 36 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 2: The reality was she made a comment in a circumstance 37 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: where it was overheard, not intended for public consumption in 38 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 2: any way, shape or form, and that is unfortunate because 39 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 2: there is a separation of powers and there is a 40 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 2: respect between both organizations and both listens, whether Pepoli's government 41 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 2: or judiciary. So in the sense Shane has read very clear, 42 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 2: if I made a comment based on someone's background, of course, 43 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 2: which was a fact, if you had in your past 44 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 2: been a member of you know, the left reading socialist 45 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 2: or comunist organization. Then the question is not that person 46 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 2: should be surveyed now, but is it true or not? 47 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 2: In fact it's true, no doubt about that. He just 48 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 2: got longing overheard by someone who actually report that. 49 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: What about the totalitarian thinking that he was talking about yesterday? 50 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: Does he need talking to or not? 51 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: But if you're talking about the Treaty of White any tribunal, 52 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 2: didnyte any tribunal? It's not record, it's not the House 53 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 2: of Lords, and it's not an upper house. It is 54 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 2: not a supreme body in this country. There are the 55 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 2: concerns about that. And I'm not joining a Shange's comments 56 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 2: other than to say there is a serious anxiety about 57 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: the powers of the sign attack unto itself and sort 58 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 2: of what you might call a semi judicial make work 59 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 2: scheme receiving all sorts of applications and presiding over things 60 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 2: never commimated when it was established in ninety seventy five, 61 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 2: or its powers were expanded in Nearis by Jeffrey Palmer. 62 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: So please so pleased to hear you say that, because 63 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 1: I've asked the Prime Minister about the several times, and 64 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: he's much kinder with them than you are. But explain 65 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: to me why, in a country with less than no 66 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: money we continue to fund an organization that has well 67 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: passed its use by a date. The historical grievances by 68 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: and larger been sorted, and they're in the business now 69 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: of pumping out almost daily urgent reports. What's the point of. 70 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 2: That, wells a fair question is a serious political issue. 71 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 2: We're not going to resilve from that in terms of 72 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 2: challenging what's going on here that the original mandate descripted 73 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 2: by Parliament, agreed by cost, the political divide has long 74 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 2: since changed and many of us so I'm not happy 75 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 2: with what's going on. And we're saying so because in 76 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 2: the end we were sitting out back being to try 77 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 2: and trick the past, if that is possible, although it's 78 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 2: very difficult to do that. We're trying to trick what 79 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 2: could be fixed up and get on being one country. 80 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 2: As Finncooper said in nineteen seventy five, exactly. 81 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: Your thoughts on the passing of the Mary King, as very. 82 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 2: Said that he's on the throne for eighty years. The 83 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 2: King ey Donn or King movement will be in the ragment, 84 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 2: and so will many who, as I say, not part 85 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 2: of the king a donna, but respect its establishment, will 86 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 2: be passing on there severe sincere condulences and as a 87 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 2: very sad now he was sixty nine years of age, 88 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 2: not a terribly old time to be in my eighty 89 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 2: years on the throne. And now there's going to be 90 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 2: the honey, so speak, a long process and then a 91 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 2: successor has to be appointed. 92 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: Appreciate your time.
