1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,840 Speaker 1: Barry so Per, senior political correspondence with US Barry, Hello, 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 1: tell me about this claim about the gang rate. 3 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you've got to say. The Prime Minister was 4 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 2: harangued at his post cabinet news conference a few minutes ago. 5 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 2: It was about the police raid on the mongrel mob, 6 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,439 Speaker 2: a mob and a portogy. Recently, the claim was made 7 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 2: that a three year old was left under tendered in 8 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 2: a house for several hours after the mother and the 9 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 2: grandmother were taken away by the police. Apparently, according to 10 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 2: the question or at the press conference, the police prevented 11 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 2: extended family members from getting to the child. Chris Luxon 12 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 2: says he'll look into it, but refuse to apologize for 13 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 2: the police raiding gangs. 14 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 3: And that's really really tragic. And I just said to 15 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 3: you before that's not acceptable. I get that, But equally 16 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 3: what's not acceptable yep, But what's also not acceptable. I've 17 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,599 Speaker 3: said that, But what is also not acceptable. I want 18 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,520 Speaker 3: you to be really clear about this is the gang 19 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 3: behavior is utterly unacceptable. But we said we had come 20 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 3: down on violent crime and that is why we're being 21 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 3: tough on game. Patches, assorting, consulting, aggravating factors are illegal. 22 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 2: Guns. 23 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 3: That's what we're going after, and that's what the police 24 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 3: have new powers to deal with from the end of 25 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:15,839 Speaker 3: the month, responsible for that violence for those we're incredibly challenging, 26 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 3: really unacceptable. 27 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 4: Get it. 28 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 2: I can't imagine for the life of me that if 29 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 2: the police knew there was a three year old unattended 30 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 2: in one of those houses they raised that they wouldn't 31 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 2: have sent somebody in for that child. 32 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 1: How long are they supposed to have left the child? 33 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 2: Several hours? I do not, simply do not believe it, 34 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 2: but no doubt the story will unfold as a result 35 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 2: of that exchange. It is press confect just sort of interest. 36 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: Who was that having a crack at the pen? 37 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 2: I think I don't know. I think it was somebody 38 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 2: from one of the Maori challenge Interesting. 39 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: Okay, cool, cool? Now what do you make of Chris 40 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: Luxon calling voters customers? 41 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 2: Oh? Honestly, he was asked whether he would do anything 42 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 2: differently a year on from his first term, and he 43 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 2: said that he maybe would say that maybe they haven't 44 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 2: moved fast enough in some areas, but he said he's 45 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 2: made mistakes. He could have expressed himself better. Luxon was 46 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 2: pulled up for the way he talks on in the 47 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 2: interview with Radio New Zealand that got him into trouble 48 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 2: with the Wokesters. Have a listen. 49 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 3: It's been a belief system of mine. If you don't 50 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 3: talk to the customer, to to the public, to the people, 51 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 3: the voters, and actually find out what their concerns are. 52 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 3: If you lose touch with the people, you actually don't 53 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 3: have a sense or a feel of what they need 54 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 3: you to deliver for them. I'm the fastest person to 55 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 3: get from entering politics to being Prime Minister. It means 56 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 3: that I come with a different set of skills and 57 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 3: it means that I'm also not going to be perfect 58 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 3: in my answers, and yes I need to work harder 59 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 3: unless corporate speak. 60 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 2: It doesn't worry me in the slightest that he sees 61 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 2: voters as customers. We are customers. I mean we should 62 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 2: be treated like customers and the customers never wrong, of course, 63 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 2: but you know, we should be seen as people who 64 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 2: are expecting something out of a government, and that is 65 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 2: a customer. It might be a voter as well, but 66 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 2: who cares about the terminology. 67 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: Also, I think he needs to stop apologizing for the corporates. 68 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 2: The corporate apologize. 69 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: That is who he authentically is. And this is his problem, 70 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 1: is that he's trying to kind of shared the real 71 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: Chris Luxon to create I think maybe what he thinks 72 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: the customer wants, But actually the customer already voted for that, Chris. 73 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 2: Lucen, you know, so he's delivering for the customer. 74 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 1: He needs to stick with the corporate speak. That's the 75 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: one thing he's actually good at. 76 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 4: Right. 77 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 2: I agree, I don't disagree with it at all. 78 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: Now, what do you make of this case? It's been 79 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: dropped that the free speech alluded us to. 80 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 2: You've got all the Free Speech Union, Jonathan Ailing, he's 81 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 2: the chief executive. He said he was proud for the 82 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 2: union to have managed this case. In March this year, 83 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 2: a chap called Paul Burns spent Sunday, as he regularly does, 84 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 2: on Lampton Key, encouraging public debate on his anti abortion stance. Well, 85 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 2: he had one hundred dollar bills posted to one of 86 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 2: his play cards. When he was approached by some young 87 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 2: people willing to engage in the debate, one of them 88 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 2: said that abortion was. 89 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: Just but the one hundred dollar bills irrelevant because he's 90 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: offering one hundred dollars to someone who can argue against him. Yes, 91 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: that his abortion stance is wrong. 92 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 2: Yes, that's wrong, So that's right. So this young group 93 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 2: of young people came along and he turned the argument 94 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 2: around and he said that they said that they were 95 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 2: anti abortion, and he said, because the world was overpopulated. 96 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: Was okay, because we have to sorry, so the world. 97 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 2: Was overpopulated and anyway, he turned it around, and apparently 98 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 2: this got him arrested. He said, why don't you go 99 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 2: out and kill yourself? It was probably going a bit overboard, 100 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 2: but the police arrested him, initially on a fairly minor 101 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 2: charge of using offensive language. They upgraded it to disorderly 102 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 2: behavior and then moved on to a more aggravated form 103 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 2: of disorderly behavior. Today they withdrew the case in court, 104 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 2: and I think good on them, because that's what should 105 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 2: have been done. And speaking of a free speech hitter, 106 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 2: could any woman vote for this man? Never listened to 107 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 2: another outburst from Donald Trump. 108 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 4: Donald Palmer was all man. And I say that in 109 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 4: all due respect to women, and I love women. But 110 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 4: this guy, this guy, this is a guy that was 111 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 4: all man. 112 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: This man was. 113 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 4: Strong and tough, and I refused to say it, but 114 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 4: when he took showers with the other pros they came 115 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 4: out of there, they said, oh my god, that's unbelievable. 116 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 2: I had to say it. 117 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: Was he talking about his willing of course, let us 118 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: go married. It wants women to vote for him. For 119 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 1: more from Hither Duplessy Allen Drive, listen Life news Talks. 120 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,799 Speaker 1: It'd be from four pm weekdays, or follow the podcast 121 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio.
