1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,160 Speaker 1: Very so, per senior political correspondence with US. 2 00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 2: Hello Berry, good afternoon, Heather Cattle's Costa. 3 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:05,680 Speaker 1: What did I tell you yesterday? 4 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 2: No? What I tell you? What did I tell you? 5 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,879 Speaker 2: I said he wouldn't be sacked, and he wasn't sacked. 6 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:17,279 Speaker 2: He resigned, Barry, No, he resigned, And no doubt, my 7 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 2: mate Brian Roach will tell you exactly the same. 8 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. 9 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 2: But look, I must say I do feel sorry for Costa, 10 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 2: because you know, he obviously took the word of Javon 11 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,480 Speaker 2: mxcimming from the beginning and never obviously followed up. He 12 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 2: took the word of a senior officer over what was 13 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 2: going on in the background. And I guess you could say, 14 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 2: and I'm not really justifying what happened, but you could say, 15 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 2: as a commissioner of police, you can't be across. 16 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 1: Every Why are you smirking the whole time when you're 17 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: saying I'm not serious? I don't know whether to take 18 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: you seriously or not? Do you Are you really feeling 19 00:00:58,440 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: sorry for Costa? 20 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 3: Not? 21 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 2: I was trying to show you my new gentleman. 22 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: I don't know what is going on with you today, honestly, Okay, 23 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 1: we will deal with you know what, park the subject 24 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 1: because you clearly cannot deal with this seriously on talk 25 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: to Brian roach about it in a few minutes. 26 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 2: So don't care. 27 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: All right, how's it going with scrutiny week? 28 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 2: Well, in the hot seat today was Treasury and interestingly 29 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 2: they told the MPs that they're a little over halfway 30 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 2: through reviewing the state asset ownership, but they insist that 31 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 2: it's not driven by a desire to sell the assets, 32 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 2: although they went on to say that you know they 33 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 2: will if the ministers require it, say what value it 34 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,639 Speaker 2: is of holding onto these assets? So I think reading 35 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 2: between fairly simple lines, you know this has been asked 36 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 2: for I assume by the government and they will be 37 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 2: seeking advice like on New Zealand Post for example, they'll 38 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 2: be looking for advice on with a these assets should 39 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 2: be retained. And there's an argument I guess you can 40 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 2: it cuts both ways, but it's one that will go 41 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 2: on and it'll be I think an election issue that's coming. Well. 42 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: I mean Nationals made it pretty clearly, they got a 43 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: campaign on it. 44 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 2: They want yes, they want to, but then should the 45 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 2: question is should they be using treasury to arm them 46 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 2: going into an election, you know. I mean they are advisors, 47 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 2: but when it comes to policy, they've got to be 48 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 2: able to make it without using treasury. 49 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: Okay, maybe so, but I mean they can, But how 50 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: do you get I mean, it's a legit question that 51 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,519 Speaker 1: they can. No, I'm just trying to figure out a 52 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: way to phrase this correctly. I mean the other government, 53 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: as the government, they are considering selling the assets as 54 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 1: ministers of the Crown. So the difference between the government 55 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: doing it versus the governing party then using that information 56 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: to campaign. I just don't know that you can draw 57 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: a distinction. Well, I don't know that you can. 58 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: Well, you've got one part you're totally opposed to set sales. Well, 59 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 2: New Zealand first indeed has opposed, and then you've got. 60 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 1: More between labor and New Zealand wors just saying. 61 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I would say you're barking up the wrong 62 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 2: tree there. 63 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: Okay. So I know that you were watching Donald Trump 64 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: videos today in the office. 65 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 2: I just enjoy them because there wasn't much news going 66 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 2: on around the place today. So I thought, look, my 67 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 2: old mate, the man that I revere in the presidency 68 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 2: of the United States, I'll ever look what he's saying, Well, 69 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 2: he believes that federal income taxt could soon be abolished 70 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 2: because of the wonderful tariff money that's being brought in 71 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 2: to the United States. He's serious. I've found it rather extraordinary. 72 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 2: He basically struggled to stay awake during the cabinet meeting 73 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 2: that he was holding, but when he did have his say, 74 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 2: he said the United States citizens could soon see themselves 75 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 2: not having to pay any income tax because of the gray. 76 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 3: There's never been anything quite like it. 77 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 2: It's been amazing. 78 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 3: So we're taking in, think of it, hundreds of billions. 79 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 3: Next year it'll be a trillion dollars or more. But 80 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 3: we're taking in all this money at the same time 81 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 3: protecting our country and we're respected again. 82 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 2: They actually respect us. 83 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 3: But we'll be cutting income tax, could be almost completely 84 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 3: cutting it because the money we're taken and is going 85 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 3: to be so large. 86 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, and he also had to say about the wonderful 87 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 2: strike on Iran taking out some nuclear plants back there 88 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 2: in June, and he was very impressed with the stealth 89 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 2: bomber pilot. 90 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,799 Speaker 3: To him, we have a country that's so respected again. 91 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 3: But when the pilots came to see me, and I 92 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 3: gave him a medal. All of them, there were a 93 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 3: lot of handsome people. It looked like Tom Cruise. Actually 94 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 3: it was very good casting. But I like Tom Cruise, 95 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 3: the last of our movie stars probably. He said, did 96 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 3: you really enjoy it? They said, Sarah, we loved it. 97 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 3: We loved it. 98 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, so we've got nothing to worry about too. 99 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: What's your point bearing nothing? I was just no, I'm 100 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: just I'm just wondering, why you, why that? What?
