1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: In her seemingly never ending ability to surprise. Tory Farnaw

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: fronts on the local ZB morning show in her beleaguered

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: capital yesterday and scores herself. Scores herself. What would you

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: score yourself, Tory? She scored herself nine out of ten. Now,

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: if she'd come from comedy, I could have seen the

6
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: joke she was making. But she doesn't come from comedy,

7
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: which is not to say her reign hasn't been comedic.

8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: She is the Meagan Markel of local body politics, so

9
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 1: self absorbed she doesn't appear cognizant as to just how

10
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: destructive and useless she is. I know I wasn't even

11
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: going to comment on far now, given it's a local issue.

12
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: She's announced she's off, and the sooner the far Era

13
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: of terror ends the better. But but flying the ointment,

14
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: she is still standing, as you well aware, for a

15
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: seat and bringing potentially all her nine out of ten

16
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: madness with her. Now the guard rails on this part

17
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: of her future are, of course in the hands of

18
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: the public of the Capital. You don't have to have

19
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: more of this. You can, in fact vote for somebody else.

20
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: But I suppose the flip side of that is in

21
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: a democracy. She's free to take her record and put

22
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: it in front of you and put it to the test.

23
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: Takes a special sort of narcissist to think of herself

24
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: so highly having just been bundled out of the big race,

25
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 1: because she knows she can't win. If she is nine

26
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: out of ten, she should be bolting home. But that's

27
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: the problem with narcissists, isn't that they continue to bluster

28
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: her even when they know the game is up. She

29
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: has also got the wider problem by remaining as part

30
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: of the wider picture. See she puts people off. Local

31
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: body politics is crying out for decent, hard working, competent contributors.

32
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: But who in their right mind is interested in sitting

33
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 1: around a table with buffoons a bunch of do gooding

34
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: lifers who as often as not and not actually able

35
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: to get work in the normal real world. Not all

36
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: of Wellington's many problems, of course, are on Tory, but

37
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: she led the team that wrought the havoc and the

38
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: stuff she inherited she didn't help. Her. Advice to poor

39
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: old Nick Mills, who had to listen to this tripe yesterday,

40
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: was every time you see a road cone, you see progress.

41
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: See it's that sort of fairy tale, fanciful nonsense most

42
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: of us realize isn't remotely true. Maybe that's her ultimate problem.

43
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: Maybe she lives in her head, in her head well

44
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: and is a riviera, and Torri's the queen of that riviera.

45
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: The pipes didn't burst, the city boomed, and Tory oversaw

46
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: a renaissance. Maybe that's how all narcissists delude themselves. For
