1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: ACT Leader David Seymour has confirmed a change to the 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: Treaty Principal's Bill, which was discussed in cabinet yesterday. He 3 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: says the government agreed on its broader outline and the 4 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 1: bill will now go to Parliament's drafters. One of those 5 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: annoyed Willie Jackson, Labor Malori Development spokesperson Willie more than 6 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,120 Speaker 1: a good morning, Martyn. 7 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 2: Are Ryan good to talk with you, mate? Yeah? 8 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: Good to have you on the show? Does that is 9 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: that music to your ears? Are you now on board 10 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 1: with all this? 11 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 2: Will he cut of that? Right? I mean, the whole 12 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 2: thing is a joke. It's it's interesting though that he's 13 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 2: made some type of concession, you know, because of the 14 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 2: bloke is you know how Seamoul has been going. It's 15 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 2: all we are the world and everybody's got the same rights, 16 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 2: and there's been no concession whatsoever has there in terms 17 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 2: of indigenous or malory right. So you know, that is 18 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 2: a little bit of a background, I would say, because 19 00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 2: you know, he's never ever said that was any sort 20 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 2: of rights in terms of hapui or whatever. So I 21 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 2: find that interesting. But that's certainly not going to convince 22 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 2: us of the merits of this this the drive with 23 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 2: us is to actually extinguish indigenous rights. That's that, that's 24 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 2: just the reality. 25 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: But he's just specifically changed his bill to include them. 26 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 2: Oh, it's just nonsense. The driver, the drive of the 27 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 2: bill is to make it very clear that Maori don't 28 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 2: have special rights. He hasn't he has not said that 29 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 2: he's going to acknowledge. You know, there's an acknowledgement there, 30 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 2: and that's and that's good. But but he's trying to 31 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 2: give everyone the same indigenous rights that especially allocated for Maudi, 32 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 2: particularly in an article two, in in article three, and 33 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 2: and and this is some sort of this is some 34 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 2: sort of strategy I think, to try and give him 35 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 2: an opportunity to see if he can get national across 36 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 2: the line. I don't think he's got any chance of 37 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 2: that at the moment. You never know. 38 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: In your opposition to this, you you there's a lot 39 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: of talk from labor MPs saying, what my reading of 40 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: it is here, we aren't adult enough to debate in 41 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: an issue like this. Is that a bit condescending? 42 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 2: Well, it's not just labor MPs who are saying that 43 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 2: they that there should be no debate. You just had 44 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 2: four hundred Christian readers who come out and said that 45 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 2: the whole bill is a total waste of time. 46 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: So the public can't be trusted. 47 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 2: Well, sorry, who's saying the public can't be trusted? 48 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: Well you are. You're saying we're not adult enough to 49 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: have a. 50 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 2: I'm saying no, No. What I'm saying, mate, is that 51 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 2: I think we've got a dishonest politician and dishonest party 52 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 2: who should know better. You know, the treaty has been 53 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 2: clearly entrenched in terms of New Zealand history. The articles 54 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 2: of the treaty have been recognized by the top judges 55 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 2: of this nation and the top leaders of this nation 56 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 2: on either side. And we should just continue along this 57 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 2: trek totally trying to upset the apple cart. And I 58 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 2: think it's disgraceful. 59 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: But this spills about the principles, not the articles. 60 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 2: Right, Well, it's about the principles, obvious, it's about the principles, 61 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 2: but they've been derived from from the articles. The principles 62 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 2: have been derived from the articles. The judges and New 63 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 2: Zealand politicians have recognized the principles or may have been 64 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 2: in true since nineteen eighty seven. Yes, that's correct. So 65 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 2: it's really important that we continue along this trek. He's 66 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 2: just trying to upset the apple cart, and he keeps 67 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 2: making out that Mary's are not anything special in our history, 68 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 2: has got nothing to do with what's happening today. The 69 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 2: reality is Mary have been tracking backwards for many, many years, 70 00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 2: and recognizing the principles has given Mary opportunity in terms 71 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: of the treaty settlements process Ryan, in terms of Mali television, 72 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 2: Maori broadcasting, Malty radio. It's given Mary an opportunity to 73 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 2: get back in terms of equity, and governments have recognized that. 74 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: Are you proud of your record? I mean, would we 75 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: be here today if you guys didn't misstep on co 76 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: governance as Chippy said you did. 77 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 2: Are you disappointed? 78 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: Are you disappointed in not in Seemoor, but in yourself? 79 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 1: Will you No? 80 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 2: I'm actually disappointed in you because because we need broadcasters 81 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 2: like you, you know who who understand what we were 82 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 2: trying to do over six years, and we got more 83 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 2: change for Maudi than any other government in history. I 84 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 2: think you'd recognize that. Your mate who's following you, recognizers 85 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 2: that anything's we've got too much change almost the hostinings. 86 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 2: That's just that there's just a reality. But what what 87 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 2: Chippy does say is we could have taken the public 88 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 2: a bit better with us, and I say that that 89 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 2: might well be right. But I'm proud of a co governor. 90 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 2: So I'm proud of much a tiny I'm proud of 91 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 2: Mutoticky Day, the holiday that is for all New Zealanders, 92 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 2: and I think we just got so much change over 93 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 2: six years and a lot of key we should be 94 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 2: proud of that. This is about partnership. It's not about 95 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 2: Mary's wanting to do stuff on their own. I want 96 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 2: to partner up with you and Mike Costkins and enjoy 97 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 2: Maturichi Day. You know.
