Yep, 42 00:02:02,293 --> 00:02:04,133 Speaker 2: the ultimate saying. If you're trying to lose weight, becau 43 00:02:04,133 --> 00:02:05,453 Speaker 2: I'm running a marathon. At the end of the year 44 00:02:05,493 --> 00:02:07,453 Speaker 2: you are, and I don't want to carry an extra 45 00:02:07,493 --> 00:02:09,693 Speaker 2: ten kg around the whole forty two k right. 46 00:02:09,573 --> 00:02:09,933 Speaker 3: Makes sense. 47 00:02:09,973 --> 00:02:11,813 Speaker 2: So I'm on the big cut. Okay, I'm on the 48 00:02:11,853 --> 00:02:13,173 Speaker 2: cut for running the marathon. 49 00:02:13,013 --> 00:02:14,013 Speaker 3: Rut your man shake right there? 50 00:02:14,293 --> 00:02:17,653 Speaker 2: Yep, yep. So someone told me this when I wasn't dneeded. 51 00:02:18,252 --> 00:02:22,572 Speaker 2: You're not hungry, you're thirsty. You're not hungry, you're thirsty. 52 00:02:22,613 --> 00:02:25,213 Speaker 2: See that's the thing, your mind, your brain doesn't know 53 00:02:25,653 --> 00:02:28,413 Speaker 2: the difference between hungry and thirsty. So often we eat 54 00:02:28,532 --> 00:02:30,053 Speaker 2: just because we need, but when we actually need a 55 00:02:30,053 --> 00:02:32,453 Speaker 2: glass of water. Right, And I've been on the record 56 00:02:32,493 --> 00:02:34,933 Speaker 2: before saying I find water too boring to drink. So 57 00:02:35,053 --> 00:02:38,533 Speaker 2: I found these little droplets, these little flavor droplets that 58 00:02:38,573 --> 00:02:39,972 Speaker 2: you get at the souper market. You just squired a 59 00:02:40,013 --> 00:02:41,572 Speaker 2: couple of drops of flavor in there and drink a 60 00:02:41,573 --> 00:02:44,013 Speaker 2: glass of water. So you're not hungry, you're thirsty. So 61 00:02:44,133 --> 00:02:48,412 Speaker 2: before you go and shove the thirteenth cheese roll in 62 00:02:48,453 --> 00:02:50,893 Speaker 2: your face like I was doing down in Dneed and 63 00:02:50,933 --> 00:02:53,173 Speaker 2: just try that, maybe try a glass of water and 64 00:02:53,493 --> 00:02:55,132 Speaker 2: don't if you think water's too boring, just a couple 65 00:02:55,173 --> 00:02:56,853 Speaker 2: of these little droplets. I should find the brand of them. 66 00:02:56,853 --> 00:03:00,573 Speaker 2: They're really good. There must be nuclear nuclear strength flavor 67 00:03:00,573 --> 00:03:01,972 Speaker 2: because you only need a few drops in there. 68 00:03:02,173 --> 00:03:02,373 Speaker 4: You know. 69 00:03:02,413 --> 00:03:04,013 Speaker 3: That really annoys me because I thought what was going 70 00:03:04,053 --> 00:03:05,692 Speaker 3: to come out of your mouth was absolute bollocks, and 71 00:03:05,733 --> 00:03:08,132 Speaker 3: I was getting ready to ridicle you acally makes it 72 00:03:08,453 --> 00:03:11,053 Speaker 3: that that's a good saying. Actually that the Mormons do 73 00:03:11,133 --> 00:03:13,532 Speaker 3: that when they because they live a long time, the Mormons, 74 00:03:13,653 --> 00:03:15,293 Speaker 3: and they make sure they drink plenty of water and 75 00:03:15,293 --> 00:03:16,972 Speaker 3: then they don't have to have so much food. 76 00:03:17,293 --> 00:03:19,213 Speaker 2: Yeah right, okay, So I think the ones that I've 77 00:03:19,293 --> 00:03:23,573 Speaker 2: been having are these ones the water drops from.

He's a good man. 104 00:04:29,173 --> 00:04:31,053 Speaker 3: Just got off the phone with him. He said it 105 00:04:31,053 --> 00:04:32,533 Speaker 3: was up to twenty eight thousand now. 106 00:04:32,413 --> 00:04:35,333 Speaker 2: Wow, So it's everyone knows that it's possibly the most 107 00:04:35,493 --> 00:04:37,773 Speaker 2: iconic pub in New Zealand, one hundred and sixty two 108 00:04:37,853 --> 00:04:39,533 Speaker 2: years old. As you said, as soon as that came 109 00:04:39,533 --> 00:04:42,253 Speaker 2: on the market, I texted my lovely partner and said, 110 00:04:42,733 --> 00:04:45,253 Speaker 2: this looks so cool. We could just move down there. 111 00:04:45,293 --> 00:04:47,733 Speaker 2: We could become publicans. We could be pillars of that 112 00:04:47,813 --> 00:04:51,333 Speaker 2: small community in the Codrona Valley. This beautiful life, meeting 113 00:04:51,333 --> 00:04:53,813 Speaker 2: people from all around the world as we serve them 114 00:04:53,893 --> 00:04:56,213 Speaker 2: drinks and delicious pub Nacho's. 115 00:04:55,853 --> 00:04:58,053 Speaker 3: Yep, I'd watch that TV show. 116 00:04:58,613 --> 00:05:00,373 Speaker 2: It's a very romantic idea, and I think a lot 117 00:05:00,373 --> 00:05:02,053 Speaker 2: of people have this idea and a lot of people 118 00:05:02,093 --> 00:05:04,053 Speaker 2: looking at the end of the twenty eight thousand people 119 00:05:04,093 --> 00:05:07,013 Speaker 2: are imagining that simpler life. But is it a simpler life, 120 00:05:07,853 --> 00:05:11,973 Speaker 2: because maybe maybe there's some things we should look out 121 00:05:12,013 --> 00:05:13,973 Speaker 2: for before we just pack up our life here and 122 00:05:15,013 --> 00:05:16,213 Speaker 2: start running a rural pub. 123 00:05:16,293 --> 00:05:18,573 Speaker 3: Yeap, if you've been through something similar, we'd love to 124 00:05:18,613 --> 00:05:21,613 Speaker 3: hear from you on that. After three o'clock, after two o'clock, 125 00:05:21,733 --> 00:05:24,053 Speaker 3: after seven weeks of evidence, six days of summing up, 126 00:05:24,053 --> 00:05:26,333 Speaker 3: in six and a half days of jury deliberation, the 127 00:05:26,453 --> 00:05:30,293 Speaker 3: verdict was finally delivered in the Mushroom Cook Trail yesterday. 128 00:05:30,573 --> 00:05:32,773 Speaker 3: Many many people around the world were waiting for it, 129 00:05:32,933 --> 00:05:35,493 Speaker 3: and of course, Aaron Patterson was found to have murdered 130 00:05:35,493 --> 00:05:37,893 Speaker 3: her a strange husband's parents done in Gail Patterson along 131 00:05:37,893 --> 00:05:41,653 Speaker 3: with gale sister Heather Wilkinson. But what did you think 132 00:05:41,733 --> 00:05:44,213 Speaker 3: of that verdict? And I've got to say, honesty, call here. 133 00:05:44,293 --> 00:05:46,373 Speaker 3: I was shocked that they found her guilty. I thought 134 00:05:46,413 --> 00:05:47,173 Speaker 3: she was guilty. 135 00:05:47,293 --> 00:05:47,853 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I. 136 00:05:47,853 --> 00:05:50,493 Speaker 3: Thought that long sitting there going through the evidence for 137 00:05:50,533 --> 00:05:52,933 Speaker 3: a week and a bit, are gonna find her not guilty? 138 00:05:52,933 --> 00:05:53,133 Speaker 4: He y? 139 00:05:53,213 --> 00:05:57,013 Speaker 2: And in that time, yeah, you wondered whether because it's 140 00:05:57,013 --> 00:05:59,453 Speaker 2: actually quite hard to prove beyond reasonable doubt that someone 141 00:05:59,493 --> 00:06:01,893 Speaker 2: who's making a beef Wellington has the purpose of killing 142 00:06:01,893 --> 00:06:04,893 Speaker 2: people with that beef Wellington. So yeah, just what do 143 00:06:04,893 --> 00:06:06,813 Speaker 2: you think of the what do you think of the verdict? 144 00:06:06,933 --> 00:06:09,173 Speaker 2: We one hundred and eighty ten eight. I was sitting 145 00:06:09,213 --> 00:06:10,973 Speaker 2: at a long table full of a whole lot of 146 00:06:10,973 --> 00:06:14,333 Speaker 2: relatives and friends in Dunedin a couple of days ago, 147 00:06:14,413 --> 00:06:16,333 Speaker 2: and everyone at the table was talking about it all 148 00:06:16,373 --> 00:06:19,013 Speaker 2: walks of life. So everyone had an opinion. So I 149 00:06:19,013 --> 00:06:20,933 Speaker 2: thought we'd open it up to the callers. What do 150 00:06:20,933 --> 00:06:24,133 Speaker 2: you think of the result in the mushroom murder. 151 00:06:24,333 --> 00:06:26,173 Speaker 3: Yes, there's going to be a great chat after two o'clock, 152 00:06:26,213 --> 00:06:27,733 Speaker 3: but right now, let's have a chat about this. So 153 00:06:27,773 --> 00:06:29,973 Speaker 3: as we know the second second phase of the COVID 154 00:06:30,053 --> 00:06:33,693 Speaker 3: nineteen inquiry has begun. Many voices so far from business, 155 00:06:33,773 --> 00:06:37,933 Speaker 3: tourism and events. They're vented frustration over the COVID response. 156 00:06:37,973 --> 00:06:41,653 Speaker 3: The Royal Commission of Inquiry will run until Thursday, but 157 00:06:41,773 --> 00:06:45,253 Speaker 3: many are still asking the question if former Prime Minister 158 00:06:45,533 --> 00:06:48,533 Speaker 3: Cindra Adurn will be called up to weigh in. It 159 00:06:48,573 --> 00:06:51,773 Speaker 3: has been reported that the Royal Commission of an Inquiry 160 00:06:51,853 --> 00:06:55,453 Speaker 3: has requested that she does appear or give information and evidence. 161 00:06:55,453 --> 00:06:58,413 Speaker 3: She can't be compelled to return if she is overseas, 162 00:06:58,453 --> 00:07:01,653 Speaker 3: but should she morally come back to front the inquiry? 163 00:07:01,933 --> 00:07:04,893 Speaker 2: Yees so one undred and eighty ten eighty. If the 164 00:07:04,933 --> 00:07:07,453 Speaker 2: aim of the Royal Commission is to strengthen our readiness 165 00:07:07,453 --> 00:07:11,013 Speaker 2: for future pandemic, which it states to be, surely she 166 00:07:11,053 --> 00:07:13,173 Speaker 2: would like to help. So, you know, if the government 167 00:07:13,213 --> 00:07:17,133 Speaker 2: got absolutely everything right, then she could highlight that this 168 00:07:17,173 --> 00:07:19,973 Speaker 2: is the playbook for future pandemics, what we did in order, 169 00:07:20,093 --> 00:07:23,013 Speaker 2: this is the playbook. If there were some mistakes, and 170 00:07:23,053 --> 00:07:26,133 Speaker 2: there always are some mistakes, she could surely offer insights 171 00:07:26,333 --> 00:07:30,013 Speaker 2: into how those mistakes were made and what she thinks 172 00:07:30,053 --> 00:07:31,933 Speaker 2: could be done in future. Because she's in a very 173 00:07:31,973 --> 00:07:35,773 Speaker 2: rare position of a person that we had almost military light. 174 00:07:36,453 --> 00:07:39,813 Speaker 3: You know what, do you call it? A state of 175 00:07:39,853 --> 00:07:43,373 Speaker 3: emergency type powers oversight on pretty much everything? 176 00:07:43,493 --> 00:07:45,453 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, or it is the whole thing just to 177 00:07:45,493 --> 00:07:48,773 Speaker 2: beat up as as has been suggested by some that 178 00:07:49,333 --> 00:07:51,733 Speaker 2: you know, that's just a platform for conspiracy theorists and 179 00:07:51,733 --> 00:07:52,413 Speaker 2: it's a witch hunt. 180 00:07:52,493 --> 00:07:52,733 Speaker 5: Yeah. 181 00:07:52,773 --> 00:07:54,893 Speaker 3: Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number 182 00:07:54,933 --> 00:07:57,693 Speaker 3: to call. Chris Hipkins, the leader of the Opposition for Labor, 183 00:07:57,733 --> 00:08:01,333 Speaker 3: of course, was in with Kerrie Woodham this morning and 184 00:08:01,453 --> 00:08:03,293 Speaker 3: here's a little bit of what he said when it 185 00:08:03,333 --> 00:08:06,453 Speaker 3: came to just cinder to do in returning for this inquiry. 186 00:08:06,733 --> 00:08:09,933 Speaker 6: I'm being cautious not too to venture a comment on that. 187 00:08:09,973 --> 00:08:11,893 Speaker 6: And it's not because I'm trying to avoid it. It's 188 00:08:11,893 --> 00:08:14,773 Speaker 6: because a Royal Commission needs to operate independently and I 189 00:08:14,773 --> 00:08:17,653 Speaker 6: don't think me or David Seymour should be telling them 190 00:08:17,653 --> 00:08:20,253 Speaker 6: who they should and shouldn't be calling to appear before them. 191 00:08:20,453 --> 00:08:22,693 Speaker 7: But isn't it the moral thing to do, like if 192 00:08:22,733 --> 00:08:27,133 Speaker 7: it defines your government. The only reason you got back in. 193 00:08:27,173 --> 00:08:28,973 Speaker 2: Was because of the COVID response. 194 00:08:28,693 --> 00:08:30,533 Speaker 6: And as I said, I'm not telling the Royal Commission 195 00:08:30,533 --> 00:08:32,853 Speaker 6: whoy should and shouldn't call, or how they should conduct 196 00:08:32,893 --> 00:08:34,652 Speaker 6: their hearings. And I don't think the government should be 197 00:08:34,732 --> 00:08:35,333 Speaker 6: doing that either. 198 00:08:35,533 --> 00:08:38,413 Speaker 7: But do you think that it would make sense for 199 00:08:38,493 --> 00:08:41,413 Speaker 7: the person who was making the decisions based on the 200 00:08:41,413 --> 00:08:44,293 Speaker 7: best advice that she was receiving to be here to 201 00:08:44,372 --> 00:08:45,893 Speaker 7: answer questions around the results. 202 00:08:45,892 --> 00:08:48,852 Speaker 6: Well, I'm not trying to dodge it because I'm trying 203 00:08:48,892 --> 00:08:51,133 Speaker 6: to be cute. I just don't think it's appropriate for 204 00:08:51,173 --> 00:08:53,973 Speaker 6: me to tell the Royal Commission or Jinder Idurn how 205 00:08:53,973 --> 00:08:55,933 Speaker 6: they should be approaching it. I think those are questions 206 00:08:55,933 --> 00:08:56,773 Speaker 6: for them, not for me. 207 00:08:57,413 --> 00:08:59,973 Speaker 7: Do you think that there are concerns for Justinder A 208 00:09:00,053 --> 00:09:01,532 Speaker 7: Dune's safety coming back here? 209 00:09:02,773 --> 00:09:05,053 Speaker 6: I mean, I know, having spoken Toesinda on a number 210 00:09:05,053 --> 00:09:08,093 Speaker 6: of occasions, I think there are a small group of 211 00:09:08,132 --> 00:09:12,132 Speaker 6: peop people who do threaten her safety and we should 212 00:09:12,132 --> 00:09:15,533 Speaker 6: be upfront about that. And they're not They're not idle threats. 213 00:09:15,573 --> 00:09:18,132 Speaker 6: These are serious threats to her safety and that of 214 00:09:18,213 --> 00:09:20,693 Speaker 6: her family. And these are not very nice people who 215 00:09:20,732 --> 00:09:21,973 Speaker 6: are making those kind of threats. 216 00:09:22,173 --> 00:09:24,052 Speaker 7: Will you be attending in person. 217 00:09:25,533 --> 00:09:27,852 Speaker 6: At the moment the Royal Commission have sort of changed 218 00:09:27,892 --> 00:09:29,612 Speaker 6: their mind A couple of times on what they want. 219 00:09:29,813 --> 00:09:31,612 Speaker 6: So we're still talking to them about what it is 220 00:09:31,612 --> 00:09:33,772 Speaker 6: that they want from us, so that that conversation is 221 00:09:33,773 --> 00:09:36,413 Speaker 6: still happening. No, but if they ask you, I've said 222 00:09:36,413 --> 00:09:37,773 Speaker 6: that I'll cooperate with the Royal Commission. 223 00:09:37,892 --> 00:09:40,492 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, that's interesting, he says, you do want to 224 00:09:40,533 --> 00:09:41,892 Speaker 2: be cute? He's kind of cute. There wasn't I saw 225 00:09:41,933 --> 00:09:43,693 Speaker 2: him out there? Is a kind of a cute little guy. 226 00:09:43,732 --> 00:09:47,213 Speaker 2: Isn't the old chippy Some people say that, yeah, it's 227 00:09:47,252 --> 00:09:50,012 Speaker 2: just a little Yeah, she definitely looks a lot younger 228 00:09:50,012 --> 00:09:53,613 Speaker 2: than he is, but that's by by the bye. That 229 00:09:53,653 --> 00:09:56,132 Speaker 2: one about safety is an interesting one, I would say, 230 00:09:56,132 --> 00:09:58,013 Speaker 2: I think that's absolutely no reason if you if you 231 00:09:58,093 --> 00:10:00,612 Speaker 2: believe it's the right thing to do, then there's people 232 00:10:00,612 --> 00:10:04,573 Speaker 2: that have risked their safety and a lot in a 233 00:10:04,612 --> 00:10:06,893 Speaker 2: lot more direct ways to do the right thing for 234 00:10:06,933 --> 00:10:10,333 Speaker 2: their country than coming with every security to talk at 235 00:10:10,333 --> 00:10:13,453 Speaker 2: a at a commission. And while she's overseas, she can't 236 00:10:13,492 --> 00:10:16,132 Speaker 2: be compelled to do it. But you know, surely they 237 00:10:16,132 --> 00:10:18,252 Speaker 2: would accept a zoom conversation. 238 00:10:18,653 --> 00:10:21,493 Speaker 3: Absolutely, So eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the 239 00:10:21,653 --> 00:10:23,453 Speaker 3: number to call. What do you think should the former 240 00:10:23,453 --> 00:10:27,173 Speaker 3: Prime minister, just Sindra Adourn come back to front this 241 00:10:27,293 --> 00:10:29,933 Speaker 3: inquiry and give the information that she does have over 242 00:10:29,973 --> 00:10:32,053 Speaker 3: that period. Love to hear your thoughts on this. 243 00:10:32,333 --> 00:10:34,532 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I was saying before, let's play the ball, 244 00:10:34,573 --> 00:10:36,773 Speaker 2: not the man, which doesn't quite work because we're not 245 00:10:36,773 --> 00:10:37,693 Speaker 2: talking about a man here. 246 00:10:38,093 --> 00:10:39,293 Speaker 3: Good point or a ball. 247 00:10:39,333 --> 00:10:42,372 Speaker 2: It's a meta thought. But anyway, so I guess I 248 00:10:42,413 --> 00:10:44,133 Speaker 2: would hope we could focus on the argument and not 249 00:10:44,173 --> 00:10:48,093 Speaker 2: the person. Address the issue, not the individual, critique ideas, 250 00:10:48,132 --> 00:10:50,852 Speaker 2: not identities. Do you like this? Engage with the substance, 251 00:10:50,933 --> 00:10:53,732 Speaker 2: not the speaker. Very good, challenge the message not the messenger. 252 00:10:53,852 --> 00:10:56,573 Speaker 2: It's a lot of alliteration. Yeah, thank you you on that. 253 00:10:56,933 --> 00:10:59,013 Speaker 2: But this person is kicked back already on that saying 254 00:10:59,053 --> 00:11:01,412 Speaker 2: but it's all about the person because she made everything personal, 255 00:11:01,533 --> 00:11:04,132 Speaker 2: she used shame to control, and she set identity groups 256 00:11:04,252 --> 00:11:05,012 Speaker 2: against each other. 257 00:11:05,293 --> 00:11:05,533 Speaker 4: See. 258 00:11:05,533 --> 00:11:08,293 Speaker 2: But I would say that person's making an argument there, 259 00:11:08,573 --> 00:11:12,732 Speaker 2: so that I would consider that text message there is 260 00:11:12,813 --> 00:11:15,453 Speaker 2: as playing the ball, not the man exactly. 261 00:11:15,573 --> 00:11:15,732 Speaker 4: Yeah. 262 00:11:15,813 --> 00:11:17,852 Speaker 3: Yeah, what I gather from that text message is she 263 00:11:17,892 --> 00:11:21,413 Speaker 3: should actually absolutely come back. So can you get your views? Oh, 264 00:11:21,453 --> 00:11:23,492 Speaker 3: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. 265 00:11:23,492 --> 00:11:27,532 Speaker 2: Yeah, should just into a Deurn morally? Should she be 266 00:11:27,533 --> 00:11:31,893 Speaker 2: coming to speak to the Royal Commission on the inquiry 267 00:11:31,892 --> 00:11:33,292 Speaker 2: into the COVID nineteen. 268 00:11:33,012 --> 00:11:36,013 Speaker 3: Yep, let's get into it.

Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons used talks. 271 00:11:45,293 --> 00:11:49,373 Speaker 3: That'd be very good afternoon. She It is twenty past 272 00:11:49,413 --> 00:11:51,612 Speaker 3: one and we are talking about the second phase of 273 00:11:51,612 --> 00:11:54,932 Speaker 3: the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the COVID nineteen response. 274 00:11:55,012 --> 00:11:57,132 Speaker 3: And the big question is will be former Prime Minister 275 00:11:57,252 --> 00:12:00,893 Speaker 3: Justinda A. Durn appear to give evidence or give information 276 00:12:01,012 --> 00:12:02,932 Speaker 3: what she knew during that period, and she knew a 277 00:12:02,973 --> 00:12:04,932 Speaker 3: lot being the Prime minister. Oh eight, one hundred and 278 00:12:04,933 --> 00:12:06,733 Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty is the number to call this. 279 00:12:06,813 --> 00:12:08,573 Speaker 2: Text of beliefs that we shouldn't even be talking about 280 00:12:08,573 --> 00:12:09,173 Speaker 2: this issue at all. 281 00:12:09,252 --> 00:12:10,732 Speaker 3: Oh, okay, you guys shouldn't. 282 00:12:10,973 --> 00:12:14,652 Speaker 2: It's funny just the spoiler starts with you guys shouldn't 283 00:12:14,653 --> 00:12:15,933 Speaker 2: be talking about this. 284 00:12:15,933 --> 00:12:17,252 Speaker 3: This inquiry is a witch hunt. 285 00:12:17,252 --> 00:12:19,892 Speaker 2: Why ask questions about our response when the world has 286 00:12:19,973 --> 00:12:22,253 Speaker 2: already decided it was the best response in the world. 287 00:12:22,813 --> 00:12:25,533 Speaker 2: You two should be thanking Jacinda that you and your 288 00:12:25,573 --> 00:12:28,573 Speaker 2: loved ones are alive. Without her, you probably wouldn't be. 289 00:12:29,533 --> 00:12:33,132 Speaker 2: Probably that's a big goal. No, she shouldn't appear and 290 00:12:33,213 --> 00:12:35,333 Speaker 2: you should stop talking about it, and you should be 291 00:12:35,372 --> 00:12:36,573 Speaker 2: working to stop the inquiry. 292 00:12:36,852 --> 00:12:40,013 Speaker 3: Wah, working to stop the inquiry. I don't know do 293 00:12:40,053 --> 00:12:42,253 Speaker 3: we have that power. I don't think we have that power. 294 00:12:42,492 --> 00:12:45,412 Speaker 2: We don't have anywhere near that. Actually, it's quite a 295 00:12:45,413 --> 00:12:47,173 Speaker 2: compliment you think we've got the power that we could 296 00:12:47,813 --> 00:12:50,973 Speaker 2: Tyler and I could work to stop Aurora real inquiry. 297 00:12:52,093 --> 00:12:55,612 Speaker 3: Plenty of great teas coming through this one, says Hi. 298 00:12:55,732 --> 00:12:55,933 Speaker 4: There. 299 00:12:55,973 --> 00:12:58,653 Speaker 2: Absolutely Adurn should be compelled to front up to the 300 00:12:58,653 --> 00:13:01,653 Speaker 2: COVID inquiry. Well, I think they can't compel her if 301 00:13:01,653 --> 00:13:02,492 Speaker 2: she's out of the country. 302 00:13:02,653 --> 00:13:03,333 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right. 303 00:13:03,813 --> 00:13:05,733 Speaker 2: She fled to New Zealand after stepping down his PEM, 304 00:13:05,892 --> 00:13:07,773 Speaker 2: knowing that she had lost the confidence of the people. 305 00:13:08,012 --> 00:13:10,573 Speaker 2: If she doesn't turn up, it will confirm what many 306 00:13:10,612 --> 00:13:14,012 Speaker 2: people think. Cheers Tony. Yeah, I thought it was interesting 307 00:13:14,053 --> 00:13:16,453 Speaker 2: what Ryan Bridge said in an article in The Herald. 308 00:13:16,813 --> 00:13:19,732 Speaker 2: He said she's making money off books and all sorts, 309 00:13:19,933 --> 00:13:24,532 Speaker 2: while many businesses here never recovered from the lockdowns. I mean, 310 00:13:24,693 --> 00:13:29,252 Speaker 2: if we're talking about a moral obligation, so rightly or wrongly, 311 00:13:29,293 --> 00:13:33,973 Speaker 2: the decisions she made have led to hardship for some businesses. 312 00:13:34,093 --> 00:13:34,293 Speaker 4: Yeah. 313 00:13:34,492 --> 00:13:38,013 Speaker 2: Absolutely, And you could argue, argue back and forth on this, 314 00:13:38,413 --> 00:13:41,213 Speaker 2: but surely she wants to She have given the opportunity 315 00:13:41,252 --> 00:13:43,772 Speaker 2: to come forward and argue that the decisions she made, 316 00:13:44,053 --> 00:13:48,173 Speaker 2: whilst hard on the businesses, were ultimately the best possible 317 00:13:48,213 --> 00:13:49,093 Speaker 2: outcome for the country. 318 00:13:49,213 --> 00:13:51,813 Speaker 3: Yeah. I wonder if part of the feeling out there, 319 00:13:51,813 --> 00:13:54,213 Speaker 3: Matt is maybe if you're a business owner, love to 320 00:13:54,252 --> 00:13:56,652 Speaker 3: hear from you on this that we are five and 321 00:13:56,693 --> 00:13:58,453 Speaker 3: a bit years down the track now and I've gone 322 00:13:58,453 --> 00:14:00,612 Speaker 3: through Absolute Hall and back a lot of those people 323 00:14:00,612 --> 00:14:02,653 Speaker 3: who ran businesses and not just business owners, a lot 324 00:14:02,653 --> 00:14:05,693 Speaker 3: of people and when we start talking about the former 325 00:14:05,693 --> 00:14:08,732 Speaker 3: prime minister and we know you know how so a 326 00:14:08,732 --> 00:14:12,012 Speaker 3: good chunk of the population feels about that period. Now, 327 00:14:12,973 --> 00:14:15,693 Speaker 3: the idea of her coming back to give evidence there, 328 00:14:15,892 --> 00:14:17,333 Speaker 3: I think there'd be a feeling out there that a 329 00:14:17,372 --> 00:14:19,973 Speaker 3: lot of people just don't want to hear from her anymore. 330 00:14:20,253 --> 00:14:22,973 Speaker 3: They are done with that period. Hopefully things is a 331 00:14:22,973 --> 00:14:24,693 Speaker 3: bit of light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully 332 00:14:24,733 --> 00:14:27,373 Speaker 3: for people that have been to Helen back in those instances, 333 00:14:27,533 --> 00:14:29,213 Speaker 3: and they might be looking at this and saying, you 334 00:14:29,293 --> 00:14:31,373 Speaker 3: know what, I don't care if she comes back. I 335 00:14:31,373 --> 00:14:33,733 Speaker 3: don't care if she goes overseas. I just want to 336 00:14:33,773 --> 00:14:36,773 Speaker 3: be done with this thing, rather than the idea that 337 00:14:37,133 --> 00:14:40,453 Speaker 3: she has information that could help us. God forbid if 338 00:14:40,453 --> 00:14:41,533 Speaker 3: we face something like this again. 339 00:14:41,613 --> 00:14:43,253 Speaker 2: Well yeah, I mean, do you think that there's a 340 00:14:43,333 --> 00:14:45,093 Speaker 2: chance there'll be another pandemic at something? 341 00:14:45,253 --> 00:14:46,133 Speaker 3: Absolutely so. 342 00:14:46,213 --> 00:14:49,693 Speaker 2: If the Commission's core purpose is to strengthen our readiness 343 00:14:49,693 --> 00:14:54,052 Speaker 2: for future pandemics by learning from our responses to this 344 00:14:54,213 --> 00:14:57,213 Speaker 2: COVID nineteen, then whether people don't want to hear from 345 00:14:57,333 --> 00:14:59,733 Speaker 2: or not, you wouldn't need to check into the Royal 346 00:14:59,773 --> 00:15:02,013 Speaker 2: Inquirer if you don't want to hear from her. But 347 00:15:02,053 --> 00:15:04,933 Speaker 2: it seems to me that the Royal Inquiry would have 348 00:15:05,013 --> 00:15:07,532 Speaker 2: questions for her, And if she wants to strengthen our 349 00:15:07,653 --> 00:15:10,573 Speaker 2: response and future, then she'd be a pretty good person 350 00:15:10,653 --> 00:15:13,573 Speaker 2: in my opinion, to come and give you know, her 351 00:15:13,693 --> 00:15:16,613 Speaker 2: rationale for the decisions that she and her government made. 352 00:15:16,653 --> 00:15:19,173 Speaker 3: Absolutely oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the 353 00:15:19,333 --> 00:15:21,973 Speaker 3: a number of call, plenty of texts coming through on 354 00:15:22,093 --> 00:15:25,053 Speaker 3: nine two ninety two.

I'm just sort of 421 00:18:25,093 --> 00:18:27,733 Speaker 2: looking it up. Is it all their travel or just 422 00:18:27,853 --> 00:18:28,613 Speaker 2: some of their travel. 423 00:18:29,173 --> 00:18:32,773 Speaker 10: It just says all their fairs, their all their travel. 424 00:18:33,973 --> 00:18:36,173 Speaker 3: It is a nice package for former prime ministers, no 425 00:18:36,213 --> 00:18:37,693 Speaker 3: doubt about that, Graham. And I think you've got a 426 00:18:37,693 --> 00:18:40,333 Speaker 3: fair point there while you're still on the taxpayer teat 427 00:18:40,413 --> 00:18:43,813 Speaker 3: so to speak. Yeah, that is another compelling. 428 00:18:43,933 --> 00:18:48,253 Speaker 2: And if she came back to New Zealand's then obviously 429 00:18:49,053 --> 00:18:50,933 Speaker 2: security would be provided as well. 430 00:18:51,613 --> 00:18:56,812 Speaker 10: Yeah, yes, like it is ministerial plicing whatever they call 431 00:18:56,853 --> 00:18:57,173 Speaker 10: it is. 432 00:18:58,373 --> 00:19:01,333 Speaker 2: I wonder if she would go and I'm massively speculating 433 00:19:01,373 --> 00:19:04,173 Speaker 2: here because she's worth a lot of money now should go? Actually, 434 00:19:04,213 --> 00:19:07,093 Speaker 2: I'll give up that newity. It means I'm obligated to 435 00:19:07,133 --> 00:19:07,453 Speaker 2: go back. 436 00:19:08,533 --> 00:19:09,653 Speaker 10: I'd like to see her do that. 437 00:19:10,173 --> 00:19:13,173 Speaker 2: What about Morley Graham? So outside say she didn't get 438 00:19:13,213 --> 00:19:15,933 Speaker 2: this travel. You know that they get the travel paid 439 00:19:15,933 --> 00:19:16,573 Speaker 2: for by the government. 440 00:19:16,613 --> 00:19:22,013 Speaker 10: And well, she came from the what do they call it, 441 00:19:22,053 --> 00:19:23,093 Speaker 10: the something truth. 442 00:19:23,893 --> 00:19:27,213 Speaker 11: And she used a single truth, that's it. 443 00:19:27,653 --> 00:19:29,933 Speaker 10: And she used to come out and say we should 444 00:19:29,973 --> 00:19:32,532 Speaker 10: do this, we should do that. Now we're saying that 445 00:19:32,893 --> 00:19:35,213 Speaker 10: she should do that, and that is come back and 446 00:19:35,573 --> 00:19:38,573 Speaker 10: tell us what she thought should have been done or 447 00:19:38,613 --> 00:19:39,493 Speaker 10: shouldn't have been done. 448 00:19:39,573 --> 00:19:43,653 Speaker 2: Well, there's no way, even if she is very happy 449 00:19:43,653 --> 00:19:47,253 Speaker 2: and proud of her response, there's absolutely no way that 450 00:19:47,933 --> 00:19:50,133 Speaker 2: there weren't mistakes and weren't things that could have been 451 00:19:50,253 --> 00:19:54,253 Speaker 2: done better. I mean, we've never you go. 452 00:19:54,293 --> 00:19:56,413 Speaker 10: So we've never had an apology. We've never had an 453 00:19:56,453 --> 00:19:59,213 Speaker 10: apology about all the people that weren't allowed back, all 454 00:19:59,253 --> 00:20:02,813 Speaker 10: the residents and New Zealanders that weren't allowed back in 455 00:20:02,853 --> 00:20:05,493 Speaker 10: the untry. They had to go into a rattle. And 456 00:20:05,533 --> 00:20:09,333 Speaker 10: then there was all the people that had a family 457 00:20:09,373 --> 00:20:12,253 Speaker 10: that died and they couldn't see them. It was torture 458 00:20:12,293 --> 00:20:15,133 Speaker 10: looking through a window at a rest home with their 459 00:20:15,173 --> 00:20:17,733 Speaker 10: loved ones in bed dying there, and they couldn't even 460 00:20:17,773 --> 00:20:20,013 Speaker 10: say goodbye to them all go and touch them or 461 00:20:20,213 --> 00:20:23,173 Speaker 10: hold their hand. I'm sure you know there should be 462 00:20:23,213 --> 00:20:24,093 Speaker 10: an apology for that. 463 00:20:24,533 --> 00:20:26,573 Speaker 2: Thank you so much for your call, Graham. That was 464 00:20:26,573 --> 00:20:29,292 Speaker 2: an interesting one. Always for me. I believe that there 465 00:20:29,333 --> 00:20:33,573 Speaker 2: should be some absolutely carved in stones things that New 466 00:20:33,653 --> 00:20:35,693 Speaker 2: Zealand citizens get, and one of them that is, if 467 00:20:35,733 --> 00:20:37,973 Speaker 2: you've got a passport, you have to be able to 468 00:20:38,013 --> 00:20:40,213 Speaker 2: get back into this country. You have to be allowed 469 00:20:40,653 --> 00:20:43,413 Speaker 2: back into the country. If you've got a passport, exactly. 470 00:20:43,573 --> 00:20:46,573 Speaker 2: You can't be a loss if you've got a solution 471 00:20:46,653 --> 00:20:49,013 Speaker 2: to a problem that involves not allowing people back into 472 00:20:49,053 --> 00:20:51,413 Speaker 2: the country who have a New Zealand passport, then I 473 00:20:51,453 --> 00:20:53,213 Speaker 2: don't think you've got a solution to the problem. 474 00:20:53,293 --> 00:20:56,413 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, nicely said I can't disagree with that. O 475 00:20:56,533 --> 00:20:59,133 Speaker 3: one hundred eighty eight ten eighty is the number to call. 476 00:20:59,413 --> 00:21:02,013 Speaker 3: And I'll just mention to Ian Taylor, of all people, 477 00:21:02,053 --> 00:21:04,693 Speaker 3: he spoke to Ryan Bridge last night and he did 478 00:21:04,693 --> 00:21:08,093 Speaker 3: agree that our former Prime Minister Disner Adune should appear. 479 00:21:08,613 --> 00:21:12,053 Speaker 3: And Sir Ian Taylor, I think he's been known to 480 00:21:12,573 --> 00:21:16,093 Speaker 3: be on a certain side of the political realm and 481 00:21:16,253 --> 00:21:18,973 Speaker 3: very interesting to hear his thoughts. But he was why 482 00:21:19,013 --> 00:21:20,813 Speaker 3: he tried to play a part in the early days 483 00:21:20,813 --> 00:21:23,493 Speaker 3: of COVID nineteen with ideas on how people could have 484 00:21:23,533 --> 00:21:26,613 Speaker 3: a bit more freedom of movement. So clearly there are 485 00:21:26,733 --> 00:21:29,093 Speaker 3: a lot of people across the political aisle who think 486 00:21:29,133 --> 00:21:31,893 Speaker 3: it is a good idea for not just our Prime minister, 487 00:21:32,013 --> 00:21:34,053 Speaker 3: but a lot of people involved to come back to 488 00:21:34,053 --> 00:21:34,693 Speaker 3: give evidence. 489 00:21:34,813 --> 00:21:35,053 Speaker 5: Yeah. 490 00:21:35,093 --> 00:21:37,773 Speaker 2: Ann Taylor said that the bee kind and team of 491 00:21:37,813 --> 00:21:41,093 Speaker 2: five million messages rang hollow as the pandemic progressed as 492 00:21:41,133 --> 00:21:43,693 Speaker 2: a quote from him. Let them do their inquiry by zoom. 493 00:21:43,733 --> 00:21:46,093 Speaker 2: Call says this text the safest option for Jacinda and 494 00:21:46,133 --> 00:21:48,373 Speaker 2: her family because there are far too many loonies here 495 00:21:48,413 --> 00:21:51,053 Speaker 2: in New Zealand who hate her. An apology from Jacinda 496 00:21:51,213 --> 00:21:52,413 Speaker 2: is not going to fix anything. 497 00:21:53,053 --> 00:21:53,253 Speaker 12: Yeah. 498 00:21:53,373 --> 00:21:55,733 Speaker 2: I always think it's interesting with apologies.

Yeah, oh yeah, I'm just I'll mull that over. 500 00:22:00,293 --> 00:22:03,373 Speaker 3: Whether an apology would fix anything? Maybe not. Would it 501 00:22:03,373 --> 00:22:05,093 Speaker 3: give anybody gratification?

Before one 531 00:23:47,293 --> 00:23:49,093 Speaker 2: hundred and eighty ten eighteen, he was saying, well, she's 532 00:23:49,093 --> 00:23:53,893 Speaker 2: paid a annuity, so she is being paid still by 533 00:23:54,253 --> 00:23:56,813 Speaker 2: the taxpayers. Yep, so she has that's part of the 534 00:23:56,813 --> 00:23:59,173 Speaker 2: moral obligation that she has to come back and speak 535 00:23:59,213 --> 00:24:01,373 Speaker 2: to this royal inquiry. So I just thought i'd get 536 00:24:01,413 --> 00:24:02,613 Speaker 2: to the bottom of the facts of this. 537 00:24:02,693 --> 00:24:03,973 Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, right, So how much? 538 00:24:04,053 --> 00:24:07,333 Speaker 2: So they receive an annual annuity exprementis is calculated at 539 00:24:07,333 --> 00:24:10,333 Speaker 2: ten thousand, nine hundred per full years served, up to 540 00:24:10,373 --> 00:24:13,933 Speaker 2: a maximum of fifty four thousand, five hundred a year. 541 00:24:14,413 --> 00:24:16,733 Speaker 2: So she was over five years, so she would get 542 00:24:16,853 --> 00:24:20,013 Speaker 2: fifty four thousand, five hundred a year from as an annuity. 543 00:24:20,133 --> 00:24:20,533 Speaker 3: Not bad. 544 00:24:20,853 --> 00:24:24,533 Speaker 2: And upon their death, their surviving spouse or partner is 545 00:24:24,573 --> 00:24:28,052 Speaker 2: eligible for half of that amount. Now, the travel entitlements, 546 00:24:28,093 --> 00:24:30,533 Speaker 2: because I think we might have led you astray a 547 00:24:30,613 --> 00:24:33,293 Speaker 2: bit before, or Graham might have, but you know, blessed Graham, 548 00:24:33,293 --> 00:24:36,133 Speaker 2: great cool.

She managed to 568 00:25:18,973 --> 00:25:20,933 Speaker 14: do these things without them holding on to her. 569 00:25:21,293 --> 00:25:21,533 Speaker 17: Now. 570 00:25:22,493 --> 00:25:25,853 Speaker 14: Her job was what she did. She did it poorly, 571 00:25:25,933 --> 00:25:30,532 Speaker 14: in my opinion. She locked everybody away. She sat up 572 00:25:30,573 --> 00:25:33,733 Speaker 14: there at lunch time. I didn't watch it at lunchtime, 573 00:25:33,813 --> 00:25:38,693 Speaker 14: with what's his name? Who's gone south now? And the doctor. 574 00:25:40,173 --> 00:25:44,613 Speaker 3: Bluefield I had, I didn't. 575 00:25:44,813 --> 00:25:45,173 Speaker 15: Sorry. 576 00:25:45,213 --> 00:25:48,493 Speaker 14: I wasn't the greatest fan of any of them, so 577 00:25:48,533 --> 00:25:51,613 Speaker 14: I try not to mention their names. I have forgotten them. 578 00:25:52,973 --> 00:25:56,893 Speaker 14: They should those three alone should be their answering questions, 579 00:25:57,013 --> 00:26:00,893 Speaker 14: because together they made these decisions that ruined people's lives. 580 00:26:01,413 --> 00:26:04,533 Speaker 14: She wouldn't set them. She played the biggest I am 581 00:26:04,573 --> 00:26:08,733 Speaker 14: I've ever been the ever come across she personally, she 582 00:26:09,413 --> 00:26:12,973 Speaker 14: up hit my family. When my husband died, my daughter 583 00:26:13,053 --> 00:26:15,253 Speaker 14: would have been away and she made the trip home. 584 00:26:15,293 --> 00:26:17,453 Speaker 14: She got into the hotel at for thirty in the 585 00:26:17,533 --> 00:26:24,253 Speaker 14: afternoon and the funeral started at once and she wasn't 586 00:26:24,333 --> 00:26:30,173 Speaker 14: allowed out later. She also fed all the wrong food 587 00:26:31,253 --> 00:26:34,133 Speaker 14: to the Maori children up north to get them to 588 00:26:34,133 --> 00:26:36,693 Speaker 14: come to have an injection. Now, I had all the 589 00:26:36,733 --> 00:26:40,733 Speaker 14: injections recent not recently, about two months ago, had the 590 00:26:40,773 --> 00:26:44,532 Speaker 14: one purned out. It's my choice. I didn't. My doctors 591 00:26:44,533 --> 00:26:49,213 Speaker 14: said they're available. It's my choice, and I never touch 592 00:26:49,453 --> 00:26:53,533 Speaker 14: would have never had any problem with COVID. My husband, 593 00:26:53,573 --> 00:26:56,093 Speaker 14: who was dying a cancer that did exactly the same thing. 594 00:26:56,533 --> 00:27:00,253 Speaker 14: He had rip me out. He didn't get COVID. 595 00:26:59,853 --> 00:27:03,053 Speaker 2: What what would you do just I mean, this is 596 00:27:03,213 --> 00:27:06,013 Speaker 2: kind of off topic, Jane, from what we're talking about 597 00:27:06,053 --> 00:27:08,133 Speaker 2: and the moral obligation for an ex prime minister to 598 00:27:08,133 --> 00:27:11,693 Speaker 2: come and talk to a Royal inquiry. But what do 599 00:27:11,693 --> 00:27:13,532 Speaker 2: you think just you know, a couple of things that 600 00:27:13,573 --> 00:27:15,773 Speaker 2: you would have done different. And of course we're looking back. 601 00:27:15,813 --> 00:27:17,333 Speaker 2: In the heat of the moment, people are going to 602 00:27:17,333 --> 00:27:19,293 Speaker 2: make mistakes. But looking back now because that's what the 603 00:27:19,333 --> 00:27:21,693 Speaker 2: Royal Inquiry is about, is so, so you know the 604 00:27:21,693 --> 00:27:25,013 Speaker 2: core purpose is to strengthen our response for future pandemics. 605 00:27:25,333 --> 00:27:27,813 Speaker 2: So what do you think could have been done different? Jane? 606 00:27:29,413 --> 00:27:37,453 Speaker 14: About everything? Honestly, just about everything, I mean completely ruined 607 00:27:37,453 --> 00:27:39,893 Speaker 14: the children's education. I would say, they're not draw a 608 00:27:40,013 --> 00:27:43,093 Speaker 14: year one nta one. They don't have to do that. 609 00:27:43,613 --> 00:27:45,533 Speaker 14: There's a lot of children that would have been disappointed. 610 00:27:45,853 --> 00:27:48,093 Speaker 14: The rest of them would have been absolutely thrilled to 611 00:27:48,613 --> 00:27:52,333 Speaker 14: get it for nothing. Well, that doesn't help in this years, 612 00:27:52,373 --> 00:27:55,453 Speaker 14: in the next years exams, that won't help them when 613 00:27:55,453 --> 00:27:58,813 Speaker 14: they go to the university or to try to get 614 00:27:58,853 --> 00:28:03,413 Speaker 14: into building and all the other things that I mean, 615 00:28:03,613 --> 00:28:06,333 Speaker 14: anything they wished to do. They were part of that 616 00:28:06,413 --> 00:28:08,653 Speaker 14: year that was given it, which meant them lazy and 617 00:28:08,693 --> 00:28:10,973 Speaker 14: they got they and you won't hear anything else out 618 00:28:11,013 --> 00:28:13,292 Speaker 14: of me from that. It was just the way that 619 00:28:13,333 --> 00:28:15,653 Speaker 14: she'd say, God with our lives. 620 00:28:16,053 --> 00:28:16,213 Speaker 4: Yeah. 621 00:28:16,253 --> 00:28:18,573 Speaker 3: I think if you call Jane, yeah, yeah, and you 622 00:28:18,613 --> 00:28:20,213 Speaker 3: made that very clear. And look, there'll be a lot 623 00:28:20,213 --> 00:28:23,532 Speaker 3: of people feeling as Jane feels. Clearly it hit her 624 00:28:23,573 --> 00:28:24,453 Speaker 3: on a personal level. 625 00:28:24,733 --> 00:28:29,133 Speaker 2: I wonder if the expre Minister believes that she could 626 00:28:30,333 --> 00:28:33,773 Speaker 2: prove to someone like Jane by talking to the Royal 627 00:28:33,773 --> 00:28:37,173 Speaker 2: Inquiry and show why the decisions were made. 628 00:28:37,333 --> 00:28:39,773 Speaker 3: Absolutely, I think that would go a long way. And 629 00:28:39,853 --> 00:28:42,653 Speaker 3: talk about apology. I don't know about apologies, but absolutely 630 00:28:42,733 --> 00:28:44,933 Speaker 3: explaining and giving the context. 631 00:28:44,733 --> 00:28:47,493 Speaker 2: Every step of the way why you made this decision 632 00:28:48,213 --> 00:28:50,493 Speaker 2: while people say, well, look look what it's done to 633 00:28:50,893 --> 00:28:53,293 Speaker 2: education in our country. Yep, you know, look what it's 634 00:28:53,333 --> 00:28:56,013 Speaker 2: done to you know, our economy, all these kind of things. 635 00:28:56,053 --> 00:28:59,293 Speaker 2: An answer every question and this is why we did it, 636 00:28:59,493 --> 00:29:01,173 Speaker 2: this is why we had to do it at that point. 637 00:29:01,333 --> 00:29:03,413 Speaker 3: I want to see that the thought processes because, as 638 00:29:03,453 --> 00:29:06,213 Speaker 3: you said before, when and it was a situation that 639 00:29:06,413 --> 00:29:09,853 Speaker 3: was unprecedented and I hate that word was around the world. 640 00:29:09,853 --> 00:29:12,293 Speaker 3: There was confusion about what was the right way forward, 641 00:29:12,293 --> 00:29:15,493 Speaker 3: but there were no mistakes made. But to front up 642 00:29:15,653 --> 00:29:18,373 Speaker 3: and say we got it wrong, but here's why we 643 00:29:18,453 --> 00:29:20,573 Speaker 3: made that decision at the time, I think would go 644 00:29:20,733 --> 00:29:25,653 Speaker 3: some way to not alleviating or offering an apology, but 645 00:29:25,733 --> 00:29:29,493 Speaker 3: an explanation is the very least that should be offered here. 646 00:29:29,693 --> 00:29:31,013 Speaker 2: Yeah, have you read a book? 647 00:29:31,413 --> 00:29:32,613 Speaker 3: No?

So you you think that she 672 00:30:30,653 --> 00:30:33,173 Speaker 3: doesn't need to return necessarily, Lynn. 673 00:30:34,133 --> 00:30:38,053 Speaker 18: So I believe I would think from what I know 674 00:30:39,333 --> 00:30:42,493 Speaker 18: about governments, I would think they will no doubt be 675 00:30:42,773 --> 00:30:47,853 Speaker 18: sending just in the questions that she will no doubt 676 00:30:49,253 --> 00:30:56,653 Speaker 18: the answering. And I believe Auckland have a different perspective 677 00:30:56,933 --> 00:31:01,853 Speaker 18: than us through the down I have on the way 678 00:31:01,933 --> 00:31:02,573 Speaker 18: things wink. 679 00:31:03,293 --> 00:31:05,973 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, Matt you you were up here during 680 00:31:06,013 --> 00:31:08,333 Speaker 3: that time, me and Lynn warns. Is that a fair statement? 681 00:31:08,853 --> 00:31:09,053 Speaker 5: Ah? 682 00:31:09,133 --> 00:31:11,253 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I don't think there's many people that 683 00:31:11,333 --> 00:31:14,013 Speaker 2: support that, that that final lockdown, the length of it. 684 00:31:14,853 --> 00:31:18,413 Speaker 2: I think even the most ardent supporters of the response 685 00:31:19,653 --> 00:31:23,933 Speaker 2: would would question the you know, the rationale of that, 686 00:31:24,053 --> 00:31:27,213 Speaker 2: the length of the last lockdown when we were waiting 687 00:31:27,253 --> 00:31:29,573 Speaker 2: for numbers to change that we could have no say 688 00:31:29,613 --> 00:31:33,053 Speaker 2: on you know that that. I mean, boy up here 689 00:31:33,213 --> 00:31:35,173 Speaker 2: while watching all you people around the rest of the 690 00:31:35,173 --> 00:31:38,853 Speaker 2: country partying and skipping around and going to bars. 691 00:31:38,293 --> 00:31:42,693 Speaker 18: Well, I'm an out hunger, so we went partying and 692 00:31:42,813 --> 00:31:45,253 Speaker 18: tearing on here. 693 00:31:44,893 --> 00:31:47,653 Speaker 2: We Sorry, I was talking to Tyler. 694 00:31:47,733 --> 00:31:50,893 Speaker 3: Yeah, he was talking to me specifically, nobody else. 695 00:31:54,173 --> 00:31:58,933 Speaker 18: I know my sister, she's in mostun and I know 696 00:31:59,093 --> 00:32:02,693 Speaker 18: they were pretty free, but she wore masks where she 697 00:32:02,733 --> 00:32:09,613 Speaker 18: went me because she's eighteenth. They were like South Island 698 00:32:09,733 --> 00:32:13,653 Speaker 18: were quite open. But my husband's a teacher and he 699 00:32:13,813 --> 00:32:19,653 Speaker 18: had online teaching, which wasn't pain in the bus we 700 00:32:19,653 --> 00:32:24,933 Speaker 18: were we had COVID ourselves. We called it from school. 701 00:32:27,213 --> 00:32:31,973 Speaker 18: So yes, I think she should. She will. I would 702 00:32:32,053 --> 00:32:36,533 Speaker 18: think she will be answering the questions they had for her. 703 00:32:37,133 --> 00:32:40,013 Speaker 2: Yeah, oh well, okay, well yeah, we'll see though we 704 00:32:40,053 --> 00:32:41,293 Speaker 2: haven't got an answer on that yet. 705 00:32:41,333 --> 00:32:44,693 Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, yeah, I get where Limb's coming from. 706 00:32:44,733 --> 00:32:46,493 Speaker 3: But at the very least, and a lot of people 707 00:32:46,493 --> 00:32:48,893 Speaker 3: are teaching this that she could give evidence via a 708 00:32:48,973 --> 00:32:50,933 Speaker 3: video link. Would you have any issue with that? I 709 00:32:50,933 --> 00:32:53,813 Speaker 3: think the bare minimum. And I've set through one of 710 00:32:53,813 --> 00:32:56,613 Speaker 3: these Royal Commissions of Inquiry with Pike River and there 711 00:32:56,693 --> 00:32:59,253 Speaker 3: is no stone left unturned. If they can help it, 712 00:32:59,253 --> 00:33:02,013 Speaker 3: if they can compel people. It is very in depth 713 00:33:02,413 --> 00:33:05,733 Speaker 3: type of inquiry. And the ability to see somebody, to 714 00:33:05,813 --> 00:33:08,133 Speaker 3: see their mannerisms and to see them present, and to 715 00:33:08,173 --> 00:33:10,573 Speaker 3: try try and challenge some of the things they're saying 716 00:33:10,733 --> 00:33:13,213 Speaker 3: that is incredibly important. That is something you cannot get 717 00:33:13,213 --> 00:33:15,693 Speaker 3: from a written statement. Written statement is a cop out. 718 00:33:15,733 --> 00:33:19,533 Speaker 3: It's got to be a video, you know, turn up 719 00:33:19,613 --> 00:33:22,653 Speaker 3: via video link or in person hopefully and be challenged 720 00:33:22,693 --> 00:33:25,133 Speaker 3: by some of the questions from the lawyers and others 721 00:33:25,133 --> 00:33:25,773 Speaker 3: that will be there. 722 00:33:26,013 --> 00:33:28,693 Speaker 2: This Texas says, I agree with the other text. This 723 00:33:28,773 --> 00:33:31,173 Speaker 2: kind of discussion and inquiry will lead to more death 724 00:33:31,293 --> 00:33:34,013 Speaker 2: next time there is a pandemic. I bet you were 725 00:33:34,053 --> 00:33:36,053 Speaker 2: a kind of dirt bag who didn't wear a mask. 726 00:33:36,293 --> 00:33:38,613 Speaker 2: Truth be known, we should still be wearing masks. But 727 00:33:38,733 --> 00:33:42,693 Speaker 2: conspiracy theorists like you are willing to risk lives. Yeah, 728 00:33:42,813 --> 00:33:44,773 Speaker 2: the stuff I mean, we haven't actually given any opinion 729 00:33:44,773 --> 00:33:48,773 Speaker 2: on anything. Exactically, it would be a ridiculous claims the 730 00:33:48,773 --> 00:33:51,293 Speaker 2: sext a head that you shouldn't have an inquiry to anything, 731 00:33:51,493 --> 00:33:53,733 Speaker 2: because I think the idea of this inquiry is quite 732 00:33:53,773 --> 00:33:57,373 Speaker 2: the opposite from risking lives. Yeah, it's to strengthen our 733 00:33:57,373 --> 00:33:58,333 Speaker 2: response in the future. 734 00:33:58,453 --> 00:34:01,013 Speaker 3: We are used to being accused of crimes we haven't committed. 735 00:34:01,053 --> 00:34:03,253 Speaker 3: But keep those texts coming through. On nineteen ninety two, 736 00:34:03,413 --> 00:34:05,613 Speaker 3: take your quick break and more of your calls. If 737 00:34:05,653 --> 00:34:07,453 Speaker 3: you can't get through, keep trying.

Great to have your company. We are 743 00:34:22,693 --> 00:34:25,733 Speaker 3: talking about Dame Jacinda doing the former Prime minister and 744 00:34:25,773 --> 00:34:28,453 Speaker 3: ask the question should she return to New Zealand in 745 00:34:28,493 --> 00:34:30,613 Speaker 3: person to give evidence at the Royal Commission of a quarry. 746 00:34:30,693 --> 00:34:33,973 Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're in the gray era of morality, so 747 00:34:34,013 --> 00:34:38,813 Speaker 2: we're asking should morally speaking, should she return this Texas 748 00:34:38,853 --> 00:34:43,013 Speaker 2: says I worked in a frontline role on pandemic planning, 749 00:34:43,093 --> 00:34:46,413 Speaker 2: specifically around how to deal with mass casualties. I sat 750 00:34:46,533 --> 00:34:48,933 Speaker 2: in on briefings every morning. I was told to prepare 751 00:34:48,973 --> 00:34:51,533 Speaker 2: for twenty percent of our population to die. We were 752 00:34:51,533 --> 00:34:55,413 Speaker 2: sourcing refrigerated shipping containers and secure areas for storage as 753 00:34:55,453 --> 00:34:58,413 Speaker 2: we were told our mortuaries would be overwhelmed. I spoke 754 00:34:58,453 --> 00:35:00,653 Speaker 2: with a family member who was also leading the response, 755 00:35:00,693 --> 00:35:03,533 Speaker 2: but from a health perspective. She was shocked and couldn't 756 00:35:03,533 --> 00:35:05,933 Speaker 2: believe the numbers I was being told. She was receiving 757 00:35:06,053 --> 00:35:09,933 Speaker 2: the complete opposite info both government organizations. Who the heck 758 00:35:10,013 --> 00:35:12,813 Speaker 2: was coming up with the numbers and the modeling. If 759 00:35:12,853 --> 00:35:16,533 Speaker 2: we were receiving wildly different modeling, then who was briefing 760 00:35:16,573 --> 00:35:18,853 Speaker 2: the Prime minister? This all needs to come out. The 761 00:35:18,973 --> 00:35:21,573 Speaker 2: data was off from the beginning. This caused every decision 762 00:35:21,613 --> 00:35:23,693 Speaker 2: made from then on to be completely out of step 763 00:35:23,733 --> 00:35:27,613 Speaker 2: with reality. I'm still dumbfounded how we got to that point. Yeah, 764 00:35:27,653 --> 00:35:34,413 Speaker 2: and look at the time, it was unknown's everywhere, absolutely 765 00:35:34,493 --> 00:35:37,173 Speaker 2: unknowns everywhere. I remember when the first lockdown was happening 766 00:35:37,173 --> 00:35:39,293 Speaker 2: and I was driving home in my truck to you 767 00:35:39,493 --> 00:35:43,293 Speaker 2: to give an inspirational gladiator speech to my kids that 768 00:35:43,333 --> 00:35:45,813 Speaker 2: we were going to come out of this stronger. And 769 00:35:46,173 --> 00:35:49,053 Speaker 2: I remember just driving home not knowing anything, being quite scared. 770 00:35:49,813 --> 00:35:51,853 Speaker 2: And I think everyone across the country it was a 771 00:35:51,853 --> 00:35:55,053 Speaker 2: big unknown absolutely. But we need to look at that 772 00:35:55,093 --> 00:35:57,732 Speaker 2: because because because that's you would hope that the Rural 773 00:35:57,733 --> 00:36:00,853 Speaker 2: Inquiry looks into, as this person said, how the data 774 00:36:00,933 --> 00:36:03,973 Speaker 2: was collected, how the modeling was made, it was done, 775 00:36:04,293 --> 00:36:07,933 Speaker 2: and how that was spread out through the various government agencies. 776 00:36:08,333 --> 00:36:10,893 Speaker 3: That's exactly the information they need, and did text her 777 00:36:10,933 --> 00:36:12,813 Speaker 3: if you haven't got in touch with the Royal Commission 778 00:36:12,813 --> 00:36:15,053 Speaker 3: of Inquiry, please do, because that's the information they need 779 00:36:15,093 --> 00:36:19,373 Speaker 3: to hear. Christopher, how are you this afternoon?

Butcher shops examples in all towns 785 00:36:34,253 --> 00:36:38,333 Speaker 12: were closed completely, some bankrupted, A couple committed suicide over 786 00:36:38,373 --> 00:36:41,253 Speaker 12: it because they lost everything they owned. I know one 787 00:36:41,293 --> 00:36:43,493 Speaker 12: butcher shop that had to throw thirty thousand dollars off 788 00:36:43,493 --> 00:36:45,732 Speaker 12: a meat and did have been because they weren't allowed 789 00:36:45,733 --> 00:36:48,093 Speaker 12: to open, and there was no logical reason for it. 790 00:36:48,293 --> 00:36:51,293 Speaker 12: I want to know who lobbied it, how the pressure 791 00:36:51,333 --> 00:36:55,133 Speaker 12: came about and had a decisions revenus corruption from the 792 00:36:55,173 --> 00:36:57,933 Speaker 12: big suppliers or what, because. 793 00:36:59,093 --> 00:37:02,773 Speaker 2: Never made that never made sense to me. Why you know, 794 00:37:02,853 --> 00:37:06,973 Speaker 2: if someone's flying food, you know how you make how 795 00:37:07,013 --> 00:37:07,773 Speaker 2: you make that decision. 796 00:37:07,853 --> 00:37:09,493 Speaker 10: You know the. 797 00:37:09,453 --> 00:37:12,373 Speaker 12: Exact same principle that they used a supermarket standing in 798 00:37:12,413 --> 00:37:14,692 Speaker 12: a queue and a line hits to the adding line cues. 799 00:37:14,693 --> 00:37:16,453 Speaker 12: Why would you have the same thing outside your local 800 00:37:16,493 --> 00:37:17,013 Speaker 12: butcher shop. 801 00:37:17,293 --> 00:37:19,533 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with your Christopher.

I don't think there was any sort of 804 00:37:23,413 --> 00:37:25,933 Speaker 3: corruption involved. I believe if I'm being diplomatic here, and 805 00:37:25,973 --> 00:37:27,453 Speaker 3: I don't know. This is the whole point of the 806 00:37:27,493 --> 00:37:30,173 Speaker 3: Royal Commission of Inquiry that at the time they probably 807 00:37:30,173 --> 00:37:32,933 Speaker 3: wanted to reduce the number of places that people were 808 00:37:33,093 --> 00:37:36,292 Speaker 3: going to converge and supermarkets were a one stop shop 809 00:37:36,293 --> 00:37:38,013 Speaker 3: for most of the things you needed. But it made 810 00:37:38,093 --> 00:37:41,413 Speaker 3: no sense when those traffic light systems came out. They 811 00:37:41,453 --> 00:37:44,573 Speaker 3: were confused. I remember ringing ministries and saying can you 812 00:37:44,613 --> 00:37:46,893 Speaker 3: do this? Can you do that? They had no answers. 813 00:37:47,093 --> 00:37:49,533 Speaker 3: There was so much confusion about what you could and 814 00:37:49,573 --> 00:37:51,293 Speaker 3: couldn't do. Could I go down to the butcher's. Could 815 00:37:51,293 --> 00:37:53,373 Speaker 3: I go to the supermarket? My partner's crooked, she's the 816 00:37:53,373 --> 00:37:54,973 Speaker 3: one that goes to the supermarket. Can I do that? 817 00:37:55,413 --> 00:37:57,493 Speaker 3: It was a confusing time and they didn't know the answer. 818 00:37:57,573 --> 00:38:00,493 Speaker 2: And there was really interesting decisions which I supported at 819 00:38:00,493 --> 00:38:03,293 Speaker 2: the time, around leaving bottle stores, you know, being able 820 00:38:03,293 --> 00:38:06,053 Speaker 2: to get alcohol throughout the entire thing and health crisis 821 00:38:06,093 --> 00:38:07,013 Speaker 2: alcohol was available. 822 00:38:07,133 --> 00:38:08,213 Speaker 3: Yeah. 823 00:38:08,453 --> 00:38:08,652 Speaker 2: Yeah. 824 00:38:08,813 --> 00:38:11,013 Speaker 12: There's also another aspect of it that I want to 825 00:38:11,053 --> 00:38:14,013 Speaker 12: know is the government had a complete pandemic plan that 826 00:38:14,253 --> 00:38:16,213 Speaker 12: was written to the last big one that killed all 827 00:38:16,213 --> 00:38:18,172 Speaker 12: those people, and they shrew it straight in the burn 828 00:38:18,293 --> 00:38:21,533 Speaker 12: and started from scratch. Why didn't they extract the original 829 00:38:21,573 --> 00:38:23,252 Speaker 12: government pandemic plan. 830 00:38:24,253 --> 00:38:26,733 Speaker 2: No, I'm not I'm not aware of this, Christopher. 831 00:38:27,413 --> 00:38:30,053 Speaker 3: How long ago was their plan put in place, Christopher, 832 00:38:30,253 --> 00:38:31,893 Speaker 3: the one you're talking about. 833 00:38:32,533 --> 00:38:34,653 Speaker 12: After the last pandemic when we lost all those people 834 00:38:35,013 --> 00:38:35,453 Speaker 12: years ago? 835 00:38:37,333 --> 00:38:40,173 Speaker 2: Well, I mean the Spanish flu situation. 836 00:38:40,613 --> 00:38:43,573 Speaker 12: Yeah, they wrote a complete pan and was all written 837 00:38:43,613 --> 00:38:45,493 Speaker 12: in government, sitting on the files, ready to go, and 838 00:38:45,533 --> 00:38:46,573 Speaker 12: they just ignored it. 839 00:38:47,053 --> 00:38:50,533 Speaker 3: Again playing devil's advocate. My thinking around that was that 840 00:38:50,653 --> 00:38:53,093 Speaker 3: was a plan designed in nineteen twelve, and in twenty 841 00:38:53,133 --> 00:38:55,093 Speaker 3: twenty five, there's been a lot changes there, so that 842 00:38:55,093 --> 00:38:57,573 Speaker 3: would that plan would need to be updated quite considerably. 843 00:38:57,653 --> 00:38:59,893 Speaker 2: Well nineteen eighteen, Oh sorry, nineteen eighteen. 844 00:39:00,893 --> 00:39:03,453 Speaker 12: Yeah, that's true that they maybe had to adapt it 845 00:39:03,493 --> 00:39:07,773 Speaker 12: from modern technologies and things, but diseases don't actually change. 846 00:39:07,853 --> 00:39:10,853 Speaker 12: I mean, any disease that kills its host dies. 847 00:39:11,253 --> 00:39:11,453 Speaker 17: Yeah. 848 00:39:11,493 --> 00:39:12,853 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, thank you so much for you, Corll Chris buth. 849 00:39:12,933 --> 00:39:15,613 Speaker 2: Let's keep this going after two o'clock because we've got 850 00:39:15,853 --> 00:39:19,172 Speaker 2: full lines and so many texts coming through.

So do 869 00:40:19,453 --> 00:40:21,053 Speaker 2: you think the person that was in charge in that 870 00:40:21,133 --> 00:40:25,053 Speaker 2: time should should face the panel and answer their questions 871 00:40:25,533 --> 00:40:29,173 Speaker 2: in the hopes of strengthening our future responses. This Texas 872 00:40:29,213 --> 00:40:33,213 Speaker 2: says the new role model is basing figures extrapolated on 873 00:40:33,333 --> 00:40:36,613 Speaker 2: high population density. One figure suggested seventy thousand per day. 874 00:40:37,093 --> 00:40:40,493 Speaker 2: You talk about educations, et cetera, standards deteriorating, police, armed 875 00:40:40,533 --> 00:40:45,733 Speaker 2: forces lost staff because of vaccinations, doesn't score tenants, cause problems. 876 00:40:46,413 --> 00:40:49,493 Speaker 2: So lockdown, open up, and the brain train followed. We're 877 00:40:49,493 --> 00:40:52,773 Speaker 2: living with many residual aspects effects and what about the 878 00:40:52,813 --> 00:40:55,293 Speaker 2: ongoing of printing money.

However, I will address the question, and that 892 00:41:25,893 --> 00:41:29,853 Speaker 16: is absolutely if the leader is elected and has a 893 00:41:29,853 --> 00:41:33,013 Speaker 16: short term as prime minister that has such a devastating 894 00:41:33,093 --> 00:41:36,813 Speaker 16: result on the future of the country, then absolutely she 895 00:41:36,813 --> 00:41:39,252 Speaker 16: should come back. I don't see why she wouldn't. She's 896 00:41:39,253 --> 00:41:42,293 Speaker 16: building a career out there on her short term as 897 00:41:42,293 --> 00:41:45,653 Speaker 16: a Prime minister here in New Zealand, and New Zealand's 898 00:41:45,653 --> 00:41:48,133 Speaker 16: still trotting along trying to recover, like a lot of 899 00:41:48,173 --> 00:41:49,293 Speaker 16: other countries. 900 00:41:48,853 --> 00:41:49,573 Speaker 20: Around the world. 901 00:41:51,733 --> 00:41:54,172 Speaker 16: My question to the Commission when I wrote to them 902 00:41:54,293 --> 00:41:57,813 Speaker 16: was first my own personal experience, but the second question 903 00:41:58,053 --> 00:42:01,172 Speaker 16: was why would you leave because we did not have 904 00:42:01,453 --> 00:42:04,133 Speaker 16: We did have COVID here and I'm so sorry for 905 00:42:04,173 --> 00:42:08,253 Speaker 16: the people that had it and the people that lost people. However, 906 00:42:08,413 --> 00:42:10,173 Speaker 16: what I couldn't understand. 907 00:42:09,773 --> 00:42:10,973 Speaker 15: Is why they would keep. 908 00:42:11,493 --> 00:42:14,333 Speaker 16: The way that it was spreading was people coming into 909 00:42:14,333 --> 00:42:17,893 Speaker 16: the country, people returning home, all the flights that were 910 00:42:17,933 --> 00:42:19,933 Speaker 16: full as they were coming into the country, So why 911 00:42:20,013 --> 00:42:23,213 Speaker 16: were those flights flying into the biggest city in New Zealand. 912 00:42:23,493 --> 00:42:26,893 Speaker 16: I just didn't understand it. I thought, we've got facilities 913 00:42:27,053 --> 00:42:32,732 Speaker 16: in other airports that can take international flights. I mean, Christ, 914 00:42:33,053 --> 00:42:35,093 Speaker 16: I mean, I'm not saying Christ you should have been 915 00:42:35,293 --> 00:42:38,333 Speaker 16: punished or anything. It's just that it had Burnham, It's 916 00:42:38,373 --> 00:42:43,773 Speaker 16: got facilities. It's a smaller international airport where you don't 917 00:42:43,773 --> 00:42:48,333 Speaker 16: have so many million people that can spread the disease. 918 00:42:48,813 --> 00:42:51,693 Speaker 16: Putting people in lockdown for two weeks when there was 919 00:42:51,733 --> 00:42:55,573 Speaker 16: no accommodation was another problem. There is a lot to 920 00:42:55,613 --> 00:42:59,533 Speaker 16: be learnt from this. But they kept they kept flights 921 00:42:59,533 --> 00:43:03,732 Speaker 16: going into Auckland, so Auckland then kept experiencing lockdown because 922 00:43:03,733 --> 00:43:04,933 Speaker 16: they kept getting cases. 923 00:43:05,093 --> 00:43:08,853 Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember at the time that wondering that, and 924 00:43:08,853 --> 00:43:11,373 Speaker 2: I'm just trying to remember now. Someone might tell me 925 00:43:11,413 --> 00:43:13,853 Speaker 2: on nine two, niney two, you can you remember, Jane 926 00:43:13,893 --> 00:43:16,413 Speaker 2: what their reasoning was, because it just seems so logic, 927 00:43:16,693 --> 00:43:19,213 Speaker 2: as logical as you say, Jane, that if we're going 928 00:43:19,253 --> 00:43:23,133 Speaker 2: to keep flying people into our biggest city and you know, 929 00:43:23,693 --> 00:43:26,293 Speaker 2: the economic hub of the country, then that's going to 930 00:43:26,333 --> 00:43:29,413 Speaker 2: keep getting locked down. And I remember just I remember 931 00:43:29,493 --> 00:43:31,172 Speaker 2: just a lot of people saying that at the time, 932 00:43:31,173 --> 00:43:32,893 Speaker 2: but there was a reason why they didn't do it. 933 00:43:32,973 --> 00:43:34,373 Speaker 2: I just can't. I can't remember now. 934 00:43:35,293 --> 00:43:38,893 Speaker 16: Well, you see, I don't understand it. Well, I don't 935 00:43:38,893 --> 00:43:40,533 Speaker 16: know what they were saying at the time because I 936 00:43:40,613 --> 00:43:43,253 Speaker 16: had to leave the country. I had the opposite problem 937 00:43:43,573 --> 00:43:45,692 Speaker 16: because my mother was living in America and I had 938 00:43:45,693 --> 00:43:49,453 Speaker 16: to fly to America because she was very badly hurts. 939 00:43:49,533 --> 00:43:51,213 Speaker 16: I mean, she was, you know, in the late eighties, 940 00:43:51,253 --> 00:43:53,933 Speaker 16: early nineties, and she was she nearly lost her leg 941 00:43:53,973 --> 00:43:55,893 Speaker 16: in a car accident. So I had to get out 942 00:43:55,933 --> 00:43:57,613 Speaker 16: of the country. First I had to ring to get 943 00:43:57,653 --> 00:44:00,333 Speaker 16: permission to get out of the country. Then you go 944 00:44:00,453 --> 00:44:04,613 Speaker 16: to the sort of you know, empty airport in New Zealand. 945 00:44:04,653 --> 00:44:06,973 Speaker 16: Were actually wonderful. They flew me out. I was almost 946 00:44:06,973 --> 00:44:09,732 Speaker 16: the only one on the plane because they were coming 947 00:44:09,813 --> 00:44:12,853 Speaker 16: back from States. I was flying into LA. They were 948 00:44:12,853 --> 00:44:17,413 Speaker 16: coming back full but going empty. And then when I 949 00:44:17,533 --> 00:44:20,893 Speaker 16: was there and after I could bring them home, I 950 00:44:20,893 --> 00:44:24,733 Speaker 16: couldn't get on a flight. And when you've got three months, 951 00:44:24,933 --> 00:44:27,373 Speaker 16: it took several months for her to get out of 952 00:44:27,413 --> 00:44:32,093 Speaker 16: the hospital. But then I had to ring and get 953 00:44:32,613 --> 00:44:35,733 Speaker 16: a quarantine room. Then I had to get a ticket, 954 00:44:35,773 --> 00:44:38,293 Speaker 16: a air ticket, and one wouldn't give me one without 955 00:44:38,293 --> 00:44:42,293 Speaker 16: the other. And I'd read the embassy. I ran the 956 00:44:42,333 --> 00:44:45,133 Speaker 16: consulate in LA and she was saying, look, give me 957 00:44:45,173 --> 00:44:47,533 Speaker 16: a call if you find out anything. I mean, this 958 00:44:48,533 --> 00:44:52,493 Speaker 16: was happening everywhere. No one knew anything. There's no communication. 959 00:44:52,653 --> 00:44:54,973 Speaker 16: And this was well into the pandemic. I mean I'm 960 00:44:55,013 --> 00:44:55,973 Speaker 16: talking about. 961 00:44:58,653 --> 00:44:58,933 Speaker 15: August. 962 00:44:59,253 --> 00:45:01,653 Speaker 16: It was late. It was like July August. 963 00:45:02,693 --> 00:45:06,172 Speaker 3: And sorry to jump in there, Jane, I'm just looking 964 00:45:06,173 --> 00:45:08,212 Speaker 3: at a story from twenty twenty one. At the time, 965 00:45:08,453 --> 00:45:12,533 Speaker 3: national were calling for MiQ facilities to be outside of Auckland, 966 00:45:12,533 --> 00:45:15,613 Speaker 3: and that was very fair criticism is that Auckland was 967 00:45:15,613 --> 00:45:17,652 Speaker 3: the hot spot at the time and to ship more 968 00:45:17,693 --> 00:45:20,853 Speaker 3: people in there and bust them into these hotels clearly 969 00:45:21,093 --> 00:45:22,933 Speaker 3: was not conducive. 970 00:45:22,413 --> 00:45:24,933 Speaker 2: To members, saying clearly on the radio, fly them into 971 00:45:25,053 --> 00:45:27,853 Speaker 2: the Giggle, it's got a fantastic airport, long runway. Give 972 00:45:27,933 --> 00:45:29,212 Speaker 2: the international planes down there. 973 00:45:29,573 --> 00:45:32,853 Speaker 3: So Chris Bishop at the time, he made some compelling 974 00:45:32,973 --> 00:45:36,013 Speaker 3: arguments about why these MiQ facilities needed to be outside 975 00:45:36,093 --> 00:45:38,973 Speaker 3: of Auckland. But the government at the time here was 976 00:45:39,053 --> 00:45:41,253 Speaker 3: that the quote from a government spokesperson, a range of 977 00:45:41,293 --> 00:45:44,533 Speaker 3: factors are taken into determining the best locations that MiQ, 978 00:45:44,813 --> 00:45:47,853 Speaker 3: including access to medical facilities and public health units and 979 00:45:47,973 --> 00:45:51,773 Speaker 3: international travel arrivals. That was all they said on this 980 00:45:51,813 --> 00:45:54,533 Speaker 3: particular case. But I think the subtext was from memory 981 00:45:55,093 --> 00:45:58,813 Speaker 3: that they didn't have enough facilities. They weren't They had 982 00:45:58,813 --> 00:46:01,333 Speaker 3: to rely on these hotels, primarily the ones up in 983 00:46:01,373 --> 00:46:04,533 Speaker 3: Auckland had the conditioning units and had the space and 984 00:46:04,533 --> 00:46:07,933 Speaker 3: were able to be quarantined easily, rather than some of 985 00:46:07,973 --> 00:46:10,172 Speaker 3: the other hotels around the country. That was the ration 986 00:46:10,213 --> 00:46:12,172 Speaker 3: now at the time I think that's wrong ration now, 987 00:46:12,413 --> 00:46:14,933 Speaker 3: But basically they were chasing their tale from memory that 988 00:46:14,973 --> 00:46:17,053 Speaker 3: they didn't know what to do. There was talk of 989 00:46:17,133 --> 00:46:20,533 Speaker 3: dedicated MiQ facilities being built in rural areas. Never got 990 00:46:20,573 --> 00:46:23,253 Speaker 3: that far. But yeah, clearly again mistakes. 991 00:46:22,813 --> 00:46:27,333 Speaker 2: Made, all right. So we're discussing whether Dame Jisinda Ardun 992 00:46:27,613 --> 00:46:32,213 Speaker 2: should return to face the Royal Commission on COVID nineteen. 993 00:46:32,813 --> 00:46:35,293 Speaker 2: I understand she's been asked, but we don't know what 994 00:46:35,333 --> 00:46:37,133 Speaker 2: her response to it is. But does she have to 995 00:46:37,133 --> 00:46:40,453 Speaker 2: be there because if she's overseas, right, they can't compel 996 00:46:40,493 --> 00:46:41,093 Speaker 2: her to attend. 997 00:46:41,253 --> 00:46:42,813 Speaker 3: No, but a. 998 00:46:42,853 --> 00:46:44,493 Speaker 2: Zoom call would be sweet as, wouldn't it. 999 00:46:44,573 --> 00:46:44,853 Speaker 21: Yeah? 1000 00:46:44,853 --> 00:46:46,853 Speaker 2: I mean, I mean the whole COVID thing was about 1001 00:46:46,933 --> 00:46:47,933 Speaker 2: zoom calls, wasn't it. 1002 00:46:48,053 --> 00:46:48,533 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1003 00:46:49,293 --> 00:46:51,652 Speaker 2: We were suddenly working from home on zoom calls, so 1004 00:46:52,053 --> 00:46:53,373 Speaker 2: surely that can continue. 1005 00:46:53,053 --> 00:46:55,013 Speaker 3: Right, make zoom great again? Yeah? Oh, eight hundred and 1006 00:46:55,013 --> 00:46:57,133 Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty is the number to call. Should our 1007 00:46:57,133 --> 00:46:59,493 Speaker 3: former Prime Minister, just under a dune, return to New 1008 00:46:59,613 --> 00:47:02,693 Speaker 3: Zealand to provide information to the Royal Commission of Inquiry. 1009 00:47:02,773 --> 00:47:03,773 Speaker 3: Love to hear your thoughts. 1010 00:47:03,933 --> 00:47:06,213 Speaker 2: I'll just give you a quote here from Ryan Bridge 1011 00:47:06,213 --> 00:47:09,093 Speaker 2: from early edition and here al now many New Zealand 1012 00:47:09,133 --> 00:47:12,493 Speaker 2: businesses never recovered from lockdowns. Well Deurn has profited from 1013 00:47:12,493 --> 00:47:13,093 Speaker 2: book deals. 1014 00:47:13,173 --> 00:47:18,013 Speaker 3: There we go. It is fourteen past two. 1015 00:47:17,253 --> 00:47:21,413 Speaker 1: Your home of afternoon Talk, Mad Heathen Taylor Adams Afternoons 1016 00:47:21,653 --> 00:47:24,773 Speaker 1: call eight hundred eighty ten eighty used talk said. 1017 00:47:24,573 --> 00:47:29,333 Speaker 3: Be afternoon, and that is what we are discussing. Should 1018 00:47:29,373 --> 00:47:31,613 Speaker 3: our former prime ministers under a don return to give 1019 00:47:31,653 --> 00:47:33,413 Speaker 3: evidence to the Royal Commission for Sex. 1020 00:47:33,453 --> 00:47:35,173 Speaker 2: It says, hey, I don't want censorship, but all the 1021 00:47:35,213 --> 00:47:41,053 Speaker 2: media outlets having their favorite epidemiologists with a mixed MSG main. 1022 00:47:41,413 --> 00:47:45,293 Speaker 3: Messages, that's texts, that's that's could speak for messages. 1023 00:47:45,413 --> 00:47:48,413 Speaker 2: Mixed messages heightened fears and added confusion to what we 1024 00:47:48,413 --> 00:47:50,893 Speaker 2: should do. Sometimes it's good to call it out, but 1025 00:47:50,933 --> 00:47:54,453 Speaker 2: there should be consequences for reporting that what is not 1026 00:47:54,453 --> 00:47:56,853 Speaker 2: true and is just fear mongering. Wow, yeah, I mean 1027 00:47:56,853 --> 00:47:58,333 Speaker 2: how much of reporting is fear mungering? 1028 00:47:58,613 --> 00:47:59,773 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly. 1029 00:48:00,253 --> 00:48:00,453 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1030 00:48:01,373 --> 00:48:04,413 Speaker 3: I think I think some of those those experts, they 1031 00:48:04,453 --> 00:48:07,773 Speaker 3: were experts, but there was there was confusion there about 1032 00:48:07,933 --> 00:48:12,133 Speaker 3: who was right and what strategy was going to work best. 1033 00:48:12,133 --> 00:48:15,333 Speaker 3: And I think a bit more honesty, no honesty, isn't 1034 00:48:15,333 --> 00:48:16,853 Speaker 3: the right word. They've been as honest as they could, 1035 00:48:16,893 --> 00:48:20,573 Speaker 3: but a bit more being upfront and say we think 1036 00:48:20,853 --> 00:48:23,693 Speaker 3: this is the situation, but we don't really know because 1037 00:48:23,693 --> 00:48:25,413 Speaker 3: the whole world is still trying to figure this out 1038 00:48:25,453 --> 00:48:27,413 Speaker 3: along with the rest of us. Might have gone a 1039 00:48:27,413 --> 00:48:30,173 Speaker 3: bit better to say you need to do this because 1040 00:48:30,213 --> 00:48:31,413 Speaker 3: this is going to do happen. 1041 00:48:31,653 --> 00:48:35,573 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, I think there's a thing that happens where 1042 00:48:35,693 --> 00:48:38,813 Speaker 2: where you get this kind of emergency powers where it 1043 00:48:38,813 --> 00:48:41,893 Speaker 2: becomes a lot easier to make very draconian decisions, and 1044 00:48:41,893 --> 00:48:43,573 Speaker 2: then another one, and then another one, another one. The 1045 00:48:43,573 --> 00:48:46,493 Speaker 2: first one's difficult, but then that works, and it's a 1046 00:48:46,493 --> 00:48:50,493 Speaker 2: lot easier to shut things down as you afforded more power, 1047 00:48:50,493 --> 00:48:51,172 Speaker 2: if you know what I'm saying. 1048 00:48:51,253 --> 00:48:52,692 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, fair point, And so. 1049 00:48:52,813 --> 00:48:56,493 Speaker 2: Probably it would have surprised the government how far they 1050 00:48:56,533 --> 00:48:58,493 Speaker 2: went by the end of it. If you'd said to 1051 00:48:58,493 --> 00:49:00,493 Speaker 2: them at the start, this is where you're going to go, 1052 00:49:00,973 --> 00:49:03,013 Speaker 2: they might have been quite surprised. Now, I think you're right, 1053 00:49:03,733 --> 00:49:06,533 Speaker 2: Matt and Tyler covid how comes Sweden had no lockdowns, 1054 00:49:06,573 --> 00:49:09,093 Speaker 2: quarantine or mandates and had better out come in anywhere 1055 00:49:09,093 --> 00:49:11,413 Speaker 2: else and then needs to pay back the millions she 1056 00:49:11,493 --> 00:49:13,253 Speaker 2: took and be dragged back to New Zealand. I don't 1057 00:49:13,253 --> 00:49:15,293 Speaker 2: know anyone suggested she'd be dragged back and put on 1058 00:49:15,373 --> 00:49:18,413 Speaker 2: trial together with Hipkins. Well, I don't know about that. 1059 00:49:18,453 --> 00:49:21,893 Speaker 2: But what we're asking is should she morally come back 1060 00:49:21,933 --> 00:49:26,413 Speaker 2: and speak to the Royal Inquiry? I mean, I don't 1061 00:49:26,413 --> 00:49:29,013 Speaker 2: know if i'd edicate her being dragged back to do it. 1062 00:49:29,493 --> 00:49:31,213 Speaker 3: No, No, I don't think there's any need for that. 1063 00:49:31,813 --> 00:49:34,413 Speaker 3: As we mentioned, maybe a video would suffice. 1064 00:49:34,613 --> 00:49:37,733 Speaker 2: She ruled by fear, says this Texter Graham, Welcome to 1065 00:49:37,773 --> 00:49:38,133 Speaker 2: the show. 1066 00:49:39,693 --> 00:49:43,573 Speaker 21: Yeah, hi, hey, I'll just try and keep this brief. 1067 00:49:43,613 --> 00:49:48,373 Speaker 21: But Desinda a done. She was the PM at the time, 1068 00:49:49,973 --> 00:49:54,293 Speaker 21: and like all good CEOs of a company. But drawing 1069 00:49:54,333 --> 00:50:00,893 Speaker 21: a parallel there, there is where the buck stops when 1070 00:50:00,933 --> 00:50:07,692 Speaker 21: there's a problem. Now, yes, there are questions about how 1071 00:50:07,733 --> 00:50:10,493 Speaker 21: it was matten, how COVID was managed, and the like. 1072 00:50:11,453 --> 00:50:17,133 Speaker 21: That is exactly why Desinda A Durn should be made 1073 00:50:17,533 --> 00:50:21,093 Speaker 21: to appear before the commission. 1074 00:50:21,533 --> 00:50:25,133 Speaker 2: Do you think, Graham, that all ex prime ministers should 1075 00:50:25,173 --> 00:50:29,732 Speaker 2: be made to appear and justify the decisions they made. Say, 1076 00:50:29,773 --> 00:50:32,973 Speaker 2: for example, I'm just pulling something out of my out 1077 00:50:32,973 --> 00:50:34,773 Speaker 2: of my mind here, there's no particularly as I'm saying that, 1078 00:50:34,813 --> 00:50:36,973 Speaker 2: you know, the blowout blowout of the City rail link, 1079 00:50:37,013 --> 00:50:40,413 Speaker 2: for example, it's now pushing six billion dollars. Should the 1080 00:50:40,653 --> 00:50:42,853 Speaker 2: people I think was John Key at the time, should 1081 00:50:42,893 --> 00:50:46,133 Speaker 2: he be when we want to look into something, should 1082 00:50:46,253 --> 00:50:49,013 Speaker 2: they be compelled by virtue of being Prime Minister be 1083 00:50:49,093 --> 00:50:52,013 Speaker 2: compelled to come back and justify their decisions down the track? 1084 00:50:55,053 --> 00:51:01,213 Speaker 21: Not necessarily, but we are talking about a national problem 1085 00:51:01,453 --> 00:51:08,853 Speaker 21: in which involved loss of life, which involved restriction of movement, 1086 00:51:09,173 --> 00:51:15,413 Speaker 21: restriction of speech, the whole bang. And this is a 1087 00:51:15,453 --> 00:51:22,453 Speaker 21: whole new level, you know, when compared to a project like. 1088 00:51:22,693 --> 00:51:23,453 Speaker 5: Like city rail. 1089 00:51:24,653 --> 00:51:27,973 Speaker 3: Excuse me, Graham, if she doesn't buy video rather than 1090 00:51:28,013 --> 00:51:29,853 Speaker 3: in person, would that still get the job done? 1091 00:51:31,173 --> 00:51:31,253 Speaker 9: No? 1092 00:51:31,613 --> 00:51:33,973 Speaker 5: She should appear? Why person? 1093 00:51:34,173 --> 00:51:34,893 Speaker 3: Why in person? 1094 00:51:36,773 --> 00:51:43,333 Speaker 21: Because it's easy to just just feign what you're saying, 1095 00:51:43,773 --> 00:51:47,373 Speaker 21: whereas if you're sitting in front of an inquiry with 1096 00:51:47,533 --> 00:51:52,252 Speaker 21: a committee, there that there's body language, there's all these 1097 00:51:52,333 --> 00:51:56,333 Speaker 21: sorts of things which you cannot get unless that person appears. 1098 00:51:56,733 --> 00:52:00,333 Speaker 2: What do you say, Graham? Around Chross Hopkins this morning 1099 00:52:00,453 --> 00:52:04,212 Speaker 2: had concerns around her security, her safety if she came back. 1100 00:52:04,253 --> 00:52:06,813 Speaker 2: Do you think that's valid. 1101 00:52:08,053 --> 00:52:11,413 Speaker 21: Well, it may well be, because let's face it, j 1102 00:52:11,533 --> 00:52:16,652 Speaker 21: Sindra Adurn has has wiled a lot of kiwis. I 1103 00:52:16,693 --> 00:52:21,013 Speaker 21: mean just before she she handed her notice in has 1104 00:52:21,093 --> 00:52:26,373 Speaker 21: been out of fuel. She was getting death threats sweetly 1105 00:52:28,333 --> 00:52:31,533 Speaker 21: and and you know that that that's not good. That 1106 00:52:31,533 --> 00:52:37,252 Speaker 21: that says a lot. Yeah, But the fact remains, as 1107 00:52:37,333 --> 00:52:42,093 Speaker 21: per any CEO in the business world, they must front 1108 00:52:42,693 --> 00:52:47,013 Speaker 21: and answer questions in front of the shareholders. 1109 00:52:47,693 --> 00:52:49,573 Speaker 3: Fair enough to Graham, Yeah, and I think a lot 1110 00:52:49,613 --> 00:52:51,933 Speaker 3: of people would agree with that, that sentiment that if 1111 00:52:51,973 --> 00:52:54,373 Speaker 3: you are in his analogy or the CEO of a 1112 00:52:54,413 --> 00:52:57,652 Speaker 3: business and your business goes belly up or something goes wrong, 1113 00:52:57,813 --> 00:53:00,013 Speaker 3: most most of the shareholders as if she would like 1114 00:53:00,013 --> 00:53:01,453 Speaker 3: you to front up to say what the hell happened? 1115 00:53:01,613 --> 00:53:03,493 Speaker 2: And it has been as it has has been pointed 1116 00:53:03,533 --> 00:53:07,733 Speaker 2: out Boris Johnson who took a thorough a thorough ribbing 1117 00:53:09,413 --> 00:53:13,333 Speaker 2: for his response and various cakes that he had when 1118 00:53:13,373 --> 00:53:15,133 Speaker 2: he was Prime Minister over this time in the UK, 1119 00:53:15,573 --> 00:53:20,172 Speaker 2: he fronted up to the equivalent investigation in the UK. 1120 00:53:20,293 --> 00:53:25,293 Speaker 2: So there is precedent for for for providing testimonies to 1121 00:53:25,333 --> 00:53:25,772 Speaker 2: these things. 1122 00:53:25,853 --> 00:53:28,453 Speaker 3: Yeah.

Was this during the pandemic? 1129 00:53:50,773 --> 00:53:51,013 Speaker 10: Was it? 1130 00:53:52,413 --> 00:53:59,453 Speaker 22: Yeah? We flew out there on the day that that 1131 00:53:59,453 --> 00:54:03,453 Speaker 22: that COVID was announced and so we went off shore. 1132 00:54:03,693 --> 00:54:07,973 Speaker 22: We decided to go and we went through Singapore, Vietnam, 1133 00:54:08,973 --> 00:54:13,013 Speaker 22: Thailand and so it was so we were away right 1134 00:54:13,053 --> 00:54:15,813 Speaker 22: at the time this was all occurring, and it was 1135 00:54:15,853 --> 00:54:20,133 Speaker 22: really fascinating to watch how the other countries took on 1136 00:54:20,213 --> 00:54:24,773 Speaker 22: board their immediate processes to try and keep people separated 1137 00:54:24,813 --> 00:54:27,853 Speaker 22: and stop people from catching COVID. And of course they'd 1138 00:54:27,853 --> 00:54:31,293 Speaker 22: been through it ten years previously with SARS, so they 1139 00:54:31,293 --> 00:54:35,533 Speaker 22: were well acquainted with what was going on. But the 1140 00:54:35,613 --> 00:54:38,333 Speaker 22: interesting thing for us was when we got back to 1141 00:54:38,413 --> 00:54:43,013 Speaker 22: New Zealand, there was just absolutely nothing going on at 1142 00:54:43,053 --> 00:54:46,933 Speaker 22: the border and we just couldn't believe it from what 1143 00:54:46,933 --> 00:54:49,652 Speaker 22: we'd seen in the other countries and how detailed they 1144 00:54:49,693 --> 00:54:55,533 Speaker 22: were about separation and making people, making sure people were 1145 00:54:55,573 --> 00:55:02,173 Speaker 22: socially distancing temperature readers in the shopping centers and things 1146 00:55:02,253 --> 00:55:05,253 Speaker 22: like that. It was just you went from a very 1147 00:55:05,253 --> 00:55:10,573 Speaker 22: sophisticated countries that were managing it really well from the 1148 00:55:10,613 --> 00:55:13,173 Speaker 22: outset to what we had in New Zealand when you 1149 00:55:13,213 --> 00:55:16,413 Speaker 22: came in and it was just like total incompetence. We 1150 00:55:16,573 --> 00:55:22,053 Speaker 22: were just astounded when we came back through customs and so, Greg, 1151 00:55:22,093 --> 00:55:22,293 Speaker 22: do you. 1152 00:55:22,293 --> 00:55:28,493 Speaker 2: Think that just Cinder should should, morally speaking, face the 1153 00:55:28,613 --> 00:55:31,933 Speaker 2: Royal Inquiry and answer questions like you have there? Why 1154 00:55:32,213 --> 00:55:36,252 Speaker 2: was our response so in your words, what did you say? 1155 00:55:37,253 --> 00:55:38,253 Speaker 2: Well inadequate? 1156 00:55:39,213 --> 00:55:46,692 Speaker 22: It was abusinal. Look, I yes she probably should come back, 1157 00:55:46,773 --> 00:55:50,533 Speaker 22: but you know, and I'm not necessarily defending her. But 1158 00:55:51,013 --> 00:55:55,093 Speaker 22: what I found the worst was that the government were 1159 00:55:55,133 --> 00:55:59,853 Speaker 22: relying on using consultants to help them understand what was 1160 00:55:59,893 --> 00:56:03,533 Speaker 22: going on. And to me, that's where the problem lies 1161 00:56:03,613 --> 00:56:07,253 Speaker 22: because we went further when we got back to our hotels. 1162 00:56:07,293 --> 00:56:10,853 Speaker 22: We came back my daughter and said, look, we're going 1163 00:56:10,893 --> 00:56:13,533 Speaker 22: to have a problem here. We started a system called 1164 00:56:13,573 --> 00:56:15,813 Speaker 22: I Stay when people could fly back into New Zealand 1165 00:56:15,853 --> 00:56:18,413 Speaker 22: and stay in our hotel for two weeks to make 1166 00:56:18,453 --> 00:56:21,292 Speaker 22: sure that they didn't have COVID and could be free 1167 00:56:21,333 --> 00:56:23,213 Speaker 22: before they went home. So they had to stay in 1168 00:56:23,253 --> 00:56:26,533 Speaker 22: their hotel completely self isolate. They weren't allowed to out 1169 00:56:26,573 --> 00:56:31,573 Speaker 22: of their room, and we never had one instance of 1170 00:56:31,693 --> 00:56:35,813 Speaker 22: anyone catching COVID. And the whole time we ran that program. 1171 00:56:36,253 --> 00:56:38,813 Speaker 22: When we got into COVID, we thought we had to 1172 00:56:38,853 --> 00:56:41,053 Speaker 22: try and save our hotel somehow because it was on 1173 00:56:41,133 --> 00:56:43,893 Speaker 22: to get shut down and someone got COVID. So we 1174 00:56:43,933 --> 00:56:47,173 Speaker 22: managed to find a product that can eliminate COVID, so 1175 00:56:47,173 --> 00:56:51,493 Speaker 22: we put it into our hotels and again nobody got COVID. 1176 00:56:51,733 --> 00:56:54,252 Speaker 22: But when I approached the government to try and get 1177 00:56:54,253 --> 00:56:56,133 Speaker 22: them to have a look at this product that we 1178 00:56:56,933 --> 00:56:59,693 Speaker 22: brought in, I could not get anyone. 1179 00:57:00,413 --> 00:57:02,013 Speaker 2: What was the product? 1180 00:57:02,053 --> 00:57:02,292 Speaker 3: Greg? 1181 00:57:03,933 --> 00:57:06,053 Speaker 22: Well, are you happy for me to mention what it is? 1182 00:57:07,173 --> 00:57:07,493 Speaker 19: Okay? 1183 00:57:07,733 --> 00:57:10,093 Speaker 22: So it's a product. It just simply it looks like 1184 00:57:10,173 --> 00:57:12,933 Speaker 22: you can put into an air conditioning system or it's 1185 00:57:13,053 --> 00:57:17,053 Speaker 22: or get a tabletop version. It's called respair. Basically, in 1186 00:57:17,133 --> 00:57:20,973 Speaker 22: simple terms, it takes the ambient air temperature and converts 1187 00:57:21,013 --> 00:57:25,653 Speaker 22: it into into low levels of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide 1188 00:57:25,733 --> 00:57:29,093 Speaker 22: kills all the bacteria in the air, including COVID, including 1189 00:57:29,853 --> 00:57:34,453 Speaker 22: you know, the flu and and people with asthma and viruses. 1190 00:57:34,493 --> 00:57:36,533 Speaker 22: It kills all that sort of stuff, just kills it dead. 1191 00:57:36,733 --> 00:57:38,453 Speaker 22: And you can't catch COVID. 1192 00:57:38,733 --> 00:57:40,933 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's interesting, well, very interesting though. 1193 00:57:40,973 --> 00:57:46,773 Speaker 2: And as a letter to dead desinder from n Taylor recently, 1194 00:57:46,933 --> 00:57:51,173 Speaker 2: he complains that they weren't open to the government, wasn't 1195 00:57:51,213 --> 00:57:52,773 Speaker 2: open to ideas from business community. 1196 00:57:52,933 --> 00:57:54,853 Speaker 3: A lot of people felt frustration around that. Thank you 1197 00:57:54,933 --> 00:57:57,973 Speaker 3: very much, Greg, Joan, we got about a minute before 1198 00:57:57,973 --> 00:57:58,613 Speaker 3: the headlines. 1199 00:58:00,653 --> 00:58:05,573 Speaker 23: Oh yes, Graftinon. I'm not I just make my position clear. 1200 00:58:05,613 --> 00:58:08,373 Speaker 23: I'm not a supporter of the synta, but I do 1201 00:58:08,573 --> 00:58:12,653 Speaker 23: have a little bit of sympathy. I think she did 1202 00:58:12,693 --> 00:58:18,373 Speaker 23: what she thought was the right thing, and the doctor 1203 00:58:18,413 --> 00:58:24,853 Speaker 23: that was working along with her and the other specialists. Yeah, 1204 00:58:25,053 --> 00:58:32,093 Speaker 23: I think I was young when the polio vaccine came out. 1205 00:58:32,773 --> 00:58:35,773 Speaker 23: I know that's a whole different thing, but what I 1206 00:58:35,853 --> 00:58:40,653 Speaker 23: saw in this pandemic was the defiance, the social defiance. 1207 00:58:41,013 --> 00:58:42,533 Speaker 10: Don't tell me what to do. 1208 00:58:42,653 --> 00:58:44,773 Speaker 20: We've researched it, We've done this. 1209 00:58:45,333 --> 00:58:48,573 Speaker 23: If we'd had social media when polio was going on, 1210 00:58:49,813 --> 00:58:50,853 Speaker 23: we would still have it. 1211 00:58:51,093 --> 00:58:55,613 Speaker 2: Well, Jane, and initially there was huge compliance from from 1212 00:58:55,653 --> 00:59:01,693 Speaker 2: the country. Initially no, no in the COVID response and initially, 1213 00:59:02,813 --> 00:59:06,093 Speaker 2: initially we're all in lockstep with the with the instructions, 1214 00:59:06,093 --> 00:59:08,293 Speaker 2: and then some people done well. But if that's true 1215 00:59:08,453 --> 00:59:12,493 Speaker 2: what you're saying, Joan, about hindsight, does that that's more 1216 00:59:12,773 --> 00:59:16,093 Speaker 2: all the more reason for just are done to come 1217 00:59:16,093 --> 00:59:18,333 Speaker 2: in front the Royal Inquiry, isn't it because she was 1218 00:59:18,453 --> 00:59:21,013 Speaker 2: there and she has that hindsight to look and say, 1219 00:59:21,013 --> 00:59:22,333 Speaker 2: this is why we did it, this is what we 1220 00:59:22,453 --> 00:59:25,293 Speaker 2: what in retrospect we got wrong. So would you do 1221 00:59:25,333 --> 00:59:27,693 Speaker 2: you think morally, as the person that was in charge 1222 00:59:27,693 --> 00:59:30,333 Speaker 2: at that time, that she should come back and face 1223 00:59:30,373 --> 00:59:31,173 Speaker 2: the Royal Inquiry. 1224 00:59:32,933 --> 00:59:35,853 Speaker 23: Yes, I think there's we need to learn from this 1225 00:59:35,893 --> 00:59:36,893 Speaker 23: whole experience. 1226 00:59:37,253 --> 00:59:39,333 Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you for you called, Joan. I appreciate that. 1227 00:59:39,533 --> 00:59:42,453 Speaker 3: Very good discussion. Thank you everyone who takes through.

I think it's a good discussion, and I 1230 00:59:46,533 --> 00:59:50,213 Speaker 3: think the majority would say that she should come back 1231 00:59:50,293 --> 00:59:52,373 Speaker 3: and tell the inquiry what she knows. 1232 00:59:52,453 --> 00:59:55,173 Speaker 2: Yeah. If genuinely the Commission's core purposes to strength in 1233 00:59:55,253 --> 00:59:58,413 Speaker 2: New Zealand's readiness for future pandemics. By learning from responses, 1234 00:59:58,453 --> 01:00:02,293 Speaker 2: she'd be key information that we would that we could 1235 01:00:02,333 --> 01:00:05,813 Speaker 2: we could use to make that decision and look excellent 1236 01:00:05,853 --> 01:00:07,773 Speaker 2: playing of the ball and not the man from everyone 1237 01:00:07,853 --> 01:00:09,853 Speaker 2: today in the last Now, that was pretty pretty good, 1238 01:00:09,893 --> 01:00:13,733 Speaker 2: good good chat.

The world was 1274 01:02:14,013 --> 01:02:18,173 Speaker 13: talking about the Mushroom Cook trial, the trial of Aaron Patterson, 1275 01:02:18,173 --> 01:02:20,773 Speaker 13: and after seven weeks of evidence, six days of summing up, 1276 01:02:21,013 --> 01:02:24,013 Speaker 13: and six and a half days of jury deliberation, they 1277 01:02:24,013 --> 01:02:27,653 Speaker 13: took their time. The verdict was obviously delivered yesterday afternoon 1278 01:02:27,653 --> 01:02:30,173 Speaker 13: that she was guilty on all counts. She was found 1279 01:02:30,213 --> 01:02:33,013 Speaker 13: to have murdered her estranged husband's parents done and Gail Patterson, 1280 01:02:33,053 --> 01:02:35,893 Speaker 13: along with Gail's sister Heather Wilkinson, and the attempted murder 1281 01:02:35,893 --> 01:02:37,373 Speaker 13: of another who survived. 1282 01:02:38,133 --> 01:02:41,333 Speaker 2: So did you follow this trial now last week?

Tyler on the 1285 01:02:44,893 --> 01:02:47,973 Speaker 2: show and got huge amount of calls on it. And 1286 01:02:48,013 --> 01:02:50,653 Speaker 2: this was before the jury was going in to deliberate, 1287 01:02:51,013 --> 01:02:54,093 Speaker 2: and at the time there was talk Mike Coskings said 1288 01:02:54,133 --> 01:02:57,013 Speaker 2: he thought the trial the deliberation would last forty five minutes. 1289 01:02:57,093 --> 01:02:59,253 Speaker 2: I went on holiday and didn't really check the news 1290 01:02:59,293 --> 01:03:01,653 Speaker 2: because if you work at news talk z'b sometimes you 1291 01:03:01,693 --> 01:03:02,893 Speaker 2: need to break from the news so I went on 1292 01:03:02,933 --> 01:03:06,693 Speaker 2: holiday down in the pretty city Dunedin and had a 1293 01:03:06,693 --> 01:03:08,893 Speaker 2: fantastic time, didn't check the news, and when I came 1294 01:03:08,933 --> 01:03:11,533 Speaker 2: back online with the news, I was immediately like I 1295 01:03:11,573 --> 01:03:13,933 Speaker 2: was immediately thinking what happened with the mushroom lady? Yeah, 1296 01:03:13,973 --> 01:03:15,693 Speaker 2: and it hadn't even be decided at that point that 1297 01:03:16,733 --> 01:03:18,973 Speaker 2: we finally got the verdict. But what do you think 1298 01:03:18,973 --> 01:03:21,013 Speaker 2: about it?

And 1461 01:10:31,253 --> 01:10:33,452 Speaker 2: he didn't know that. I thought that was that was 1462 01:10:33,492 --> 01:10:34,972 Speaker 2: a major moment when he went. 1463 01:10:36,013 --> 01:10:37,452 Speaker 17: I thought everybody knew that. 1464 01:10:37,732 --> 01:10:40,532 Speaker 2: Yeah, so did I And I definitely thought that his 1465 01:10:41,293 --> 01:10:44,372 Speaker 2: you know that the council would have told them that. 1466 01:10:44,692 --> 01:10:47,173 Speaker 2: But but but anyway, yeah, I did not know that. 1467 01:10:47,213 --> 01:10:48,132 Speaker 2: But I will continue. 1468 01:10:49,213 --> 01:10:52,092 Speaker 17: But I'll tell you one other thing. That guy that's 1469 01:10:52,652 --> 01:10:55,133 Speaker 17: bringing you and told you he's a solicitor. Yeah, I 1470 01:10:55,133 --> 01:10:56,652 Speaker 17: don't ever get you on a case. Mate. 1471 01:10:58,652 --> 01:11:01,532 Speaker 3: Yeah was she she? I mean I was reading, well, 1472 01:11:01,572 --> 01:11:03,732 Speaker 3: I was reading this morning, Brian. She paid big bucks 1473 01:11:03,732 --> 01:11:05,972 Speaker 3: for that solicitor. He was a big I am over 1474 01:11:05,973 --> 01:11:06,452 Speaker 3: in Australia. 1475 01:11:06,492 --> 01:11:09,812 Speaker 2: It wasn't this solicitor though, I mean, are you with me, Brian? 1476 01:11:09,893 --> 01:11:12,532 Speaker 2: That doesn't sound real this text. She is absolutely innocent. 1477 01:11:12,572 --> 01:11:14,732 Speaker 2: I am a lawyer and have been in contact with 1478 01:11:14,812 --> 01:11:17,213 Speaker 2: other Australian lawyers. We will get this poor lady out. 1479 01:11:17,253 --> 01:11:19,492 Speaker 2: There's something about that that doesn't ring through. I don't 1480 01:11:19,532 --> 01:11:21,972 Speaker 2: know my lawyer might be telling me. Did lawyers prefer 1481 01:11:22,013 --> 01:11:24,213 Speaker 2: to themselves as lawyers in the situation? I'm not sure? 1482 01:11:26,772 --> 01:11:29,732 Speaker 2: But Fellas Fellas just hit me out here. It's already 1483 01:11:29,732 --> 01:11:32,612 Speaker 2: a great Netflix series. How good would it be for 1484 01:11:32,652 --> 01:11:35,213 Speaker 2: one more twist Brian that she was innocent all along? 1485 01:11:35,412 --> 01:11:37,333 Speaker 2: Just there one final episode. 1486 01:11:38,812 --> 01:11:43,053 Speaker 17: It's not going to happen, mate, Yeah. 1487 01:11:42,412 --> 01:11:42,732 Speaker 10: All right? 1488 01:11:42,772 --> 01:11:45,973 Speaker 2: And one final question, Brian, what what led you into it? 1489 01:11:46,013 --> 01:11:49,173 Speaker 2: Because there's there's murder trials around the world and such 1490 01:11:49,173 --> 01:11:52,093 Speaker 2: an interesting one, but what about this one made you 1491 01:11:52,173 --> 01:11:54,293 Speaker 2: follow it? What drew you in? Do you think? Brian? 1492 01:11:55,093 --> 01:11:58,372 Speaker 17: Well, the first thing was that four people looked like 1493 01:11:58,372 --> 01:12:01,933 Speaker 17: they were going to die. Yea, but that really got me. 1494 01:12:02,133 --> 01:12:04,492 Speaker 17: You know, they go to a metal and for them 1495 01:12:04,532 --> 01:12:06,652 Speaker 17: are going to die. And this is the point that 1496 01:12:06,692 --> 01:12:13,372 Speaker 17: you haven't made floats for all got poisoned. She ate 1497 01:12:13,973 --> 01:12:19,732 Speaker 17: supposedly the same meal and nothing, absolutely nothing. 1498 01:12:20,293 --> 01:12:22,892 Speaker 2: I thought that. I thought that testimony she had that 1499 01:12:22,933 --> 01:12:26,093 Speaker 2: she tried to run that line that she was beliemic 1500 01:12:26,173 --> 01:12:28,173 Speaker 2: without us saying she was beliemic, and she had a 1501 01:12:28,213 --> 01:12:31,093 Speaker 2: whole lot of cake afterwards, and that maybe she threw 1502 01:12:31,173 --> 01:12:33,093 Speaker 2: up and that's why she didn't die. There wasn't a 1503 01:12:33,093 --> 01:12:36,133 Speaker 2: lot of credibility in that evidence from her that a 1504 01:12:36,173 --> 01:12:36,973 Speaker 2: lot of people. 1505 01:12:39,812 --> 01:12:42,492 Speaker 25: She's a loser man. 1506 01:12:43,013 --> 01:12:45,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, hey, thank you so much. Thank you so 1507 01:12:45,293 --> 01:12:46,892 Speaker 2: much for your call, Brian, appreciate it. 1508 01:12:47,013 --> 01:12:50,173 Speaker 3: Good to hear from an Australian. Clearly Brian was knee 1509 01:12:50,213 --> 01:12:52,213 Speaker 3: deep in that trial. Thanks very much, Brian. 1510 01:12:52,492 --> 01:12:54,572 Speaker 2: The Stick says, No, the text don't make you guilty, 1511 01:12:54,612 --> 01:12:57,092 Speaker 2: but I think the fact she feed them poisonous mushrooms 1512 01:12:57,133 --> 01:12:59,333 Speaker 2: probably done. Yeah, I think that was a key, key 1513 01:12:59,412 --> 01:13:01,772 Speaker 2: part of the evidence the jury would that we're considering there. 1514 01:13:02,213 --> 01:13:03,253 Speaker 3: But I still think that. 1515 01:13:03,372 --> 01:13:05,772 Speaker 2: I still think because a lot of people hate they're 1516 01:13:05,772 --> 01:13:09,612 Speaker 2: in laws, right, but normally for him motive and look, 1517 01:13:09,772 --> 01:13:12,572 Speaker 2: people are saying, look, she's crazy, sure, and maybe it 1518 01:13:12,572 --> 01:13:15,253 Speaker 2: doesn't make sense, and there's some people that just do 1519 01:13:15,452 --> 01:13:19,372 Speaker 2: things for reasons we can't understand, right. Yeah, absolutely, I 1520 01:13:19,412 --> 01:13:23,732 Speaker 2: get that, but I feel like there needed to be 1521 01:13:24,053 --> 01:13:27,013 Speaker 2: a bigger thing that had happened to her for it 1522 01:13:27,053 --> 01:13:29,412 Speaker 2: to be a motive. And that doesn't mean she didn't 1523 01:13:29,412 --> 01:13:32,013 Speaker 2: do it. I just still think coming out the other end, 1524 01:13:32,093 --> 01:13:35,932 Speaker 2: the motive is unclear and that leaves a few questions. 1525 01:13:36,372 --> 01:13:39,412 Speaker 2: And for this person who's definitely a lawyer with the 1526 01:13:39,452 --> 01:13:42,812 Speaker 2: definite true text definitely happen is getting some lawyers to 1527 01:13:42,812 --> 01:13:43,932 Speaker 2: get in Australia to get her. 1528 01:13:43,893 --> 01:13:46,253 Speaker 3: Out, so Matt thinks she might be innocent. What do 1529 01:13:46,333 --> 01:13:49,133 Speaker 3: you say at one hundred ten addies another to call 1530 01:13:49,213 --> 01:13:50,333 Speaker 3: it is ten to three. 1531 01:13:50,452 --> 01:13:51,932 Speaker 2: Great call from Brian, Thank you. 1532 01:13:54,173 --> 01:13:56,572 Speaker 1: The issues that affect you and a bit of fun 1533 01:13:56,612 --> 01:14:00,133 Speaker 1: along the way. Matt Heath and Taylor Adams Afternoons News 1534 01:14:00,173 --> 01:14:02,493 Speaker 1: TALKSB News TALKSB. 1535 01:14:02,612 --> 01:14:05,133 Speaker 3: We are talking about the verdict and the Mushroom Coock trial, 1536 01:14:05,213 --> 01:14:08,213 Speaker 3: the trial of Aaron Patterson. She was found guilty on 1537 01:14:08,412 --> 01:14:12,012 Speaker 3: all counts, three of murder and one of attempted murder. 1538 01:14:12,053 --> 01:14:15,612 Speaker 3: One person survive the infamous Beef Wellington dinner or lunch. 1539 01:14:15,652 --> 01:14:18,293 Speaker 3: I should say plenty of techs coming through on this, Matt. 1540 01:14:18,333 --> 01:14:20,612 Speaker 2: Just because they haven't worked out the motive yet, it 1541 01:14:20,652 --> 01:14:23,652 Speaker 2: doesn't mean that there isn't one. She killed them, She's alive, 1542 01:14:24,093 --> 01:14:25,212 Speaker 2: end of story. 1543 01:14:25,572 --> 01:14:25,812 Speaker 10: Yeah. 1544 01:14:25,812 --> 01:14:28,452 Speaker 2: Look, I'm just it just feels a little bit weird 1545 01:14:28,452 --> 01:14:31,053 Speaker 2: for me, and I've locked at all the evidence and 1546 01:14:31,133 --> 01:14:34,133 Speaker 2: it is damning, but it just seems it just leaves 1547 01:14:34,173 --> 01:14:36,532 Speaker 2: a little gap for me that there isn't a really 1548 01:14:36,652 --> 01:14:40,333 Speaker 2: clear motive. And maybe I've watched too many Midsummer murders. 1549 01:14:40,532 --> 01:14:43,452 Speaker 2: You know, maybe I've watched too many. I'll tell you 1550 01:14:43,452 --> 01:14:45,213 Speaker 2: what show though, that you've got to watch. Have you 1551 01:14:45,253 --> 01:14:45,973 Speaker 2: watched Department Q? 1552 01:14:46,333 --> 01:14:48,933 Speaker 3: No, I haven't yet. I've been hearing great things about it. 1553 01:14:49,013 --> 01:14:51,133 Speaker 2: Department Q. I think might be the greatest show I've 1554 01:14:51,173 --> 01:14:54,892 Speaker 2: ever watched. It's on Netflix, Scottish. It's based on some 1555 01:14:55,213 --> 01:14:59,012 Speaker 2: Denmarky and Danish novels. Denmark in Danish novels, I believe, 1556 01:14:59,173 --> 01:15:02,692 Speaker 2: but it's set in Scotland and Edinburgh. It is such 1557 01:15:02,772 --> 01:15:05,572 Speaker 2: a fantastic show. I absolutely loved it. But that's soft topic. 1558 01:15:06,133 --> 01:15:08,253 Speaker 2: Matt thinks everyone is innocent, makes me think he is 1559 01:15:08,333 --> 01:15:11,612 Speaker 2: guilty of something, and the sense says Matt thinks Mark 1560 01:15:11,652 --> 01:15:14,052 Speaker 2: Lundy is innocent for if sake. 1561 01:15:14,572 --> 01:15:16,492 Speaker 3: Well, I just just see the best thing of everybody, 1562 01:15:16,492 --> 01:15:18,812 Speaker 3: don't you, Matt, I just E and Paterson. 1563 01:15:18,893 --> 01:15:21,093 Speaker 2: I just think there's some questions around London. I just 1564 01:15:21,133 --> 01:15:22,333 Speaker 2: think there's some questions, you know. 1565 01:15:22,492 --> 01:15:24,973 Speaker 3: All right, eighty ten eighty get Alistair and. 1566 01:15:24,933 --> 01:15:28,172 Speaker 2: I think there's some questions around mushroom lader get a Alistair. 1567 01:15:28,372 --> 01:15:31,012 Speaker 2: Wel from to show your thoughts thank you. 1568 01:15:31,293 --> 01:15:34,692 Speaker 25: Yeah, looks on balance, I think she probably is guilty. 1569 01:15:34,732 --> 01:15:36,173 Speaker 25: But I mean, I think the thing we all need 1570 01:15:36,173 --> 01:15:39,253 Speaker 25: to remember is that none of us sat through ten 1571 01:15:39,293 --> 01:15:42,333 Speaker 25: and ten weeks of evidence and then spend seven days 1572 01:15:42,333 --> 01:15:44,812 Speaker 25: sort of working it all through like the jury that 1573 01:15:45,372 --> 01:15:47,133 Speaker 25: you know. I think we've got snippets and here we 1574 01:15:47,133 --> 01:15:49,253 Speaker 25: can say, well, this piece or that piece of the 1575 01:15:49,253 --> 01:15:51,692 Speaker 25: whole story. And I think it's really important that we, 1576 01:15:52,173 --> 01:15:54,053 Speaker 25: you know, we trust their judgment because they're the ones 1577 01:15:54,053 --> 01:15:56,293 Speaker 25: that have heard the whole thing. The one thing that 1578 01:15:56,372 --> 01:15:59,333 Speaker 25: I think is kind of strange with all this, and 1579 01:15:59,492 --> 01:16:03,253 Speaker 25: could probably only happen in Australia, is that while she's 1580 01:16:03,253 --> 01:16:05,812 Speaker 25: been in prison, yours penal system has put her in 1581 01:16:05,812 --> 01:16:07,093 Speaker 25: the kitchen work. 1582 01:16:07,572 --> 01:16:07,772 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1583 01:16:09,133 --> 01:16:11,933 Speaker 25: To me, it's, you know, no surprises. 1584 01:16:13,213 --> 01:16:15,212 Speaker 3: So is that true. I didn't read that she's actually 1585 01:16:15,293 --> 01:16:16,852 Speaker 3: in work in the kitchen as we speak. 1586 01:16:17,293 --> 01:16:21,372 Speaker 25: Yeah, it was in the heralds this morning, kidding. 1587 01:16:23,532 --> 01:16:26,052 Speaker 2: It was interesting that she was in and it makes sense. 1588 01:16:26,133 --> 01:16:27,692 Speaker 2: I don't I don't know why I didn't think of this, 1589 01:16:27,772 --> 01:16:29,492 Speaker 2: but the way they took the photos of her arriving 1590 01:16:29,532 --> 01:16:32,012 Speaker 2: at court, it didn't look like she was coming from prison. 1591 01:16:32,053 --> 01:16:34,052 Speaker 2: But she has been in prison for the last two years, 1592 01:16:34,492 --> 01:16:36,852 Speaker 2: and I guess they can't show that shot because it 1593 01:16:36,853 --> 01:16:38,892 Speaker 2: makes her look guilty, if you know what I mean 1594 01:16:39,213 --> 01:16:44,053 Speaker 2: by virtue of coming in and handcuffs and such. But yeah, 1595 01:16:44,053 --> 01:16:47,093 Speaker 2: it So what do you think? And this is a 1596 01:16:47,093 --> 01:16:49,492 Speaker 2: difficult question. I absolutely agree with you that the jurists 1597 01:16:49,532 --> 01:16:52,173 Speaker 2: have sat through so much more evidence than than we 1598 01:16:52,253 --> 01:16:54,812 Speaker 2: have listened to our podcasts and reading our articles and 1599 01:16:54,853 --> 01:16:57,333 Speaker 2: such and our wild speculations. But what piece of evidence 1600 01:16:57,333 --> 01:17:00,293 Speaker 2: did you think was the most damning alistair? 1601 01:17:01,572 --> 01:17:04,133 Speaker 25: The two things for me. One was the fact that 1602 01:17:04,173 --> 01:17:08,253 Speaker 25: she had searched about just kept mushroom. 1603 01:17:08,452 --> 01:17:10,092 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty why. 1604 01:17:09,933 --> 01:17:12,372 Speaker 25: Would you do that? Why would you do that? And 1605 01:17:12,412 --> 01:17:14,452 Speaker 25: the second thing that they you know, when with the 1606 01:17:14,652 --> 01:17:17,013 Speaker 25: d hydrated when they found it and you know, why 1607 01:17:17,013 --> 01:17:22,812 Speaker 25: would you dispose of it if it's perfectly well working appliant. Yeah, 1608 01:17:23,053 --> 01:17:25,253 Speaker 25: when they found that there was traces of dipcap and 1609 01:17:25,293 --> 01:17:29,692 Speaker 25: that as well. So it's like to me, I'm thinking, well, motives, Yeah, okay, 1610 01:17:30,293 --> 01:17:31,892 Speaker 25: one of the previous callers said, you and we don't 1611 01:17:31,933 --> 01:17:35,372 Speaker 25: necessarily know what the motive is. My understanding yet that 1612 01:17:35,452 --> 01:17:39,333 Speaker 25: it's Osaily wasn't one. But I mean, if you turn 1613 01:17:39,372 --> 01:17:42,293 Speaker 25: that around and go, well, why would she google didcat mushrooms? 1614 01:17:42,452 --> 01:17:45,773 Speaker 25: Why would there be traces of dipcat mushroom into the 1615 01:17:46,093 --> 01:17:49,652 Speaker 25: hydrated She hadn't deliberately gone out and looked for it. 1616 01:17:49,973 --> 01:17:52,092 Speaker 2: Hey, we've got to go to the news.

Seven past three, and we 1627 01:18:22,213 --> 01:18:25,333 Speaker 3: are talking about the verdict in the Aaron Patterson trial. 1628 01:18:25,372 --> 01:18:28,972 Speaker 3: The mushroom cook found guilty on all accounts, three of murder, 1629 01:18:29,013 --> 01:18:33,093 Speaker 3: one of attempted murder. But Matt Heath has some questions 1630 01:18:33,612 --> 01:18:34,732 Speaker 3: about that jury's verdict. 1631 01:18:34,772 --> 01:18:37,412 Speaker 2: Look, I'm just not satisfied with the lack of motive 1632 01:18:37,452 --> 01:18:40,612 Speaker 2: being proved, Okay, So I'm just questioning that I just 1633 01:18:40,652 --> 01:18:43,732 Speaker 2: think that that I would want a stronger motive. I'm 1634 01:18:43,772 --> 01:18:45,812 Speaker 2: not saying she didn't do it, but it just leaves 1635 01:18:45,853 --> 01:18:47,213 Speaker 2: a little bit of hole in the story that no 1636 01:18:47,213 --> 01:18:49,812 Speaker 2: one's given me a really, really strong motive. But I 1637 01:18:49,933 --> 01:18:51,293 Speaker 2: have a theory here. 1638 01:18:51,293 --> 01:18:52,173 Speaker 3: It is here, it is. 1639 01:18:52,213 --> 01:18:56,253 Speaker 2: It's a controversial theory cobbled together with half pieces of 1640 01:18:56,253 --> 01:18:57,892 Speaker 2: information and a lot of ignorance. 1641 01:18:57,933 --> 01:18:59,932 Speaker 3: That's the theories we do here on the Afternoon Show. 1642 01:19:00,333 --> 01:19:02,692 Speaker 2: But it is known when you if you've been following 1643 01:19:02,692 --> 01:19:05,132 Speaker 2: the case, that she was known as a super sleuth 1644 01:19:05,452 --> 01:19:08,333 Speaker 2: on in the true crime group that she was involved 1645 01:19:08,372 --> 01:19:11,733 Speaker 2: and on Facebook, which she was very active on Facebook, 1646 01:19:12,492 --> 01:19:14,532 Speaker 2: very very interested in the true crime world as a 1647 01:19:14,572 --> 01:19:16,293 Speaker 2: lot of people are. A lot of people are that 1648 01:19:16,372 --> 01:19:19,212 Speaker 2: you met. The podcast, the True Crime podcast is huge. 1649 01:19:19,452 --> 01:19:21,572 Speaker 2: You look at all the murder shows that people love. 1650 01:19:21,732 --> 01:19:24,732 Speaker 2: You've got your Broken Wood Mysteries. You've got they're called 1651 01:19:24,732 --> 01:19:27,692 Speaker 2: Cozy Keller shows, aren't they. You've got your you know, 1652 01:19:27,772 --> 01:19:30,093 Speaker 2: Midsummer Murders. There's hundreds of these shows right on. 1653 01:19:30,133 --> 01:19:32,412 Speaker 3: Netflix Documentary there's a new one each week about a 1654 01:19:32,452 --> 01:19:32,972 Speaker 3: true crime. 1655 01:19:33,093 --> 01:19:35,492 Speaker 2: Absolutely, and look, I'm a huge fan of Egarth the 1656 01:19:35,572 --> 01:19:38,532 Speaker 2: Christie and the heirdkle Priors. I like the new one. 1657 01:19:38,532 --> 01:19:40,772 Speaker 2: I like the Haunting of Venice, I like I like 1658 01:19:41,133 --> 01:19:43,852 Speaker 2: Kennis Branner as herkle Puro. It's not they're not as 1659 01:19:43,893 --> 01:19:45,973 Speaker 2: I'm pronouncing it terribly, but that doesn't matter anyway. I 1660 01:19:45,973 --> 01:19:48,772 Speaker 2: love all that stuff. But I've got a theory she's 1661 01:19:48,772 --> 01:19:51,572 Speaker 2: on these on these cases, right, And the way that 1662 01:19:51,652 --> 01:19:55,133 Speaker 2: she reacted in court when she was giving evidence that 1663 01:19:55,452 --> 01:19:58,652 Speaker 2: she decided to just check if the police was stupid 1664 01:19:58,772 --> 01:20:01,253 Speaker 2: enough to have left her phone online so she could 1665 01:20:01,253 --> 01:20:03,932 Speaker 2: attempt to wipe it right, right, And the way she 1666 01:20:04,013 --> 01:20:08,692 Speaker 2: was running multiple sim cards, right, And and the fact 1667 01:20:08,933 --> 01:20:13,013 Speaker 2: that she committed a crime, if in fact she did, well, 1668 01:20:13,053 --> 01:20:16,372 Speaker 2: she's been found guilty of it. That was quite old school. 1669 01:20:16,772 --> 01:20:19,092 Speaker 2: It's a poisoning with a beef Wellington, where you invite 1670 01:20:19,133 --> 01:20:20,092 Speaker 2: people around a table. 1671 01:20:21,173 --> 01:20:22,772 Speaker 3: It's very Agatha Christie. 1672 01:20:23,053 --> 01:20:27,293 Speaker 2: Was she this is my theory. Was she just trying 1673 01:20:27,293 --> 01:20:32,973 Speaker 2: to see if she could pull off a crime, a 1674 01:20:33,133 --> 01:20:36,333 Speaker 2: clever murder, and get away with it. Was that what 1675 01:20:36,372 --> 01:20:38,972 Speaker 2: she was doing. Maybe it's a hell of a theory. 1676 01:20:39,532 --> 01:20:41,652 Speaker 2: So there's a low hatred of the in laws. 1677 01:20:41,692 --> 01:20:42,692 Speaker 3: She just wanted to say. 1678 01:20:42,772 --> 01:20:45,572 Speaker 2: There's a little bit of hatred of laws there, but 1679 01:20:45,893 --> 01:20:48,532 Speaker 2: not enough that I can see for the ultimate motive 1680 01:20:48,572 --> 01:20:51,412 Speaker 2: to do it. But wouldn't it be crazy if she 1681 01:20:51,652 --> 01:20:55,173 Speaker 2: just got into her head pulling off you know, you know, 1682 01:20:56,053 --> 01:20:58,412 Speaker 2: you know, pulling off an incredible crime like she's read 1683 01:20:58,452 --> 01:21:02,812 Speaker 2: about and written about and and you know, and listened 1684 01:21:02,812 --> 01:21:05,212 Speaker 2: to these crazy crimes. 1685 01:21:05,452 --> 01:21:07,013 Speaker 3: That would be a hell of a story. I mean, 1686 01:21:07,013 --> 01:21:09,093 Speaker 3: it's almost like a gone girl, such a where she's 1687 01:21:09,772 --> 01:21:13,092 Speaker 3: conducted this elaborate plan to try and get away with murder. 1688 01:21:13,213 --> 01:21:15,452 Speaker 2: Yeah, and she thinks she's clever. She had a whole 1689 01:21:15,492 --> 01:21:17,932 Speaker 2: lot of ways of trying to do things. As I said, 1690 01:21:17,973 --> 01:21:20,972 Speaker 2: the different sin cards, she had, the different colored plate 1691 01:21:21,013 --> 01:21:25,812 Speaker 2: allegedly that she was eating off. She's doing this crime 1692 01:21:25,893 --> 01:21:29,412 Speaker 2: with mushrooms, which is such a bizarre crime, which I 1693 01:21:29,412 --> 01:21:31,052 Speaker 2: think is one of the reasons why we're so interested 1694 01:21:31,053 --> 01:21:33,013 Speaker 2: in the case because it's so weird and sort of 1695 01:21:33,013 --> 01:21:33,612 Speaker 2: old fashion. 1696 01:21:33,772 --> 01:21:36,092 Speaker 3: The beef Wellington always come back to the Beef Wellington 1697 01:21:37,093 --> 01:21:40,092 Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty. Is Matt on the money with this theory? 1698 01:21:40,853 --> 01:21:44,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you think about this whole case, Maureen? 1699 01:21:44,293 --> 01:21:46,732 Speaker 2: You followed it closely, Yeah. 1700 01:21:46,732 --> 01:21:51,852 Speaker 20: Very very closely, And I think your theory is absolutely rubbish. 1701 01:21:53,253 --> 01:21:58,293 Speaker 24: You said it, motive, motor, greed, money in a woman's 1702 01:21:58,333 --> 01:22:01,572 Speaker 24: score and now all of those factors. And the other 1703 01:22:01,652 --> 01:22:05,292 Speaker 24: thing is I've read it every trans you know, every 1704 01:22:05,293 --> 01:22:09,612 Speaker 24: transcript from the each day's you know try and it's 1705 01:22:09,692 --> 01:22:12,412 Speaker 24: just been so interesting. And then if you look at 1706 01:22:12,492 --> 01:22:17,772 Speaker 24: today's ABC News, it's got a lot of background information. Now, 1707 01:22:18,732 --> 01:22:24,532 Speaker 24: mushroom lady actually passed the exam to be air traffic controller. 1708 01:22:25,333 --> 01:22:27,932 Speaker 24: Now this is sort of twenty years ago, and there 1709 01:22:27,973 --> 01:22:30,852 Speaker 24: were so many people and only three got through. Now, 1710 01:22:30,893 --> 01:22:34,372 Speaker 24: she's a very clever woman to be able to pass 1711 01:22:34,412 --> 01:22:35,012 Speaker 24: that exam. 1712 01:22:35,652 --> 01:22:37,452 Speaker 2: Did you think that though she If she is such 1713 01:22:37,452 --> 01:22:41,333 Speaker 2: a clever woman and this is a premeditated murder, do 1714 01:22:41,372 --> 01:22:45,773 Speaker 2: you think that she made some pretty obvious mistakes? 1715 01:22:46,853 --> 01:22:50,772 Speaker 20: Yes, she got she yes, yes, I mean there was 1716 01:22:50,973 --> 01:22:53,572 Speaker 20: right at the beginning. I think it was before the 1717 01:22:53,572 --> 01:22:57,612 Speaker 20: case started. Her husband had been admitted to hospital some 1718 01:22:57,853 --> 01:23:05,213 Speaker 20: time before the mass based mushroom concoction. So you know, 1719 01:23:05,253 --> 01:23:08,612 Speaker 20: maybe maybe she tried it then and it didn't quite 1720 01:23:09,253 --> 01:23:12,452 Speaker 20: you know, it didn't work, or she didn't have enough mushrooms. 1721 01:23:12,492 --> 01:23:16,732 Speaker 20: I don't know, but she had. She's not a stupid woman. 1722 01:23:16,893 --> 01:23:18,732 Speaker 20: She knew what she was doing. 1723 01:23:19,572 --> 01:23:22,932 Speaker 2: She's not mad, she's evil, right, that's interesting. And when 1724 01:23:22,933 --> 01:23:25,692 Speaker 2: you say a woman scorned, how was she scorned? Mareen? 1725 01:23:25,853 --> 01:23:28,852 Speaker 20: Well, she wanted she still liked her husband. I mean, 1726 01:23:28,893 --> 01:23:32,372 Speaker 20: you've got to read everything. She still she wanted her 1727 01:23:32,412 --> 01:23:34,572 Speaker 20: husband to come for lunch. They still had you said, 1728 01:23:34,572 --> 01:23:36,772 Speaker 20: the checks is going backwards and forwards. You know, they 1729 01:23:36,812 --> 01:23:41,652 Speaker 20: were quite friendly. You know, maybe she's still you know, 1730 01:23:41,973 --> 01:23:47,452 Speaker 20: underknown to us. She wanted him in her life. She wasn't. 1731 01:23:47,853 --> 01:23:50,372 Speaker 20: She wasn't short of money because she didn't hear it 1732 01:23:50,412 --> 01:23:53,572 Speaker 20: at nineteen million dollars when Grannie died. 1733 01:23:54,372 --> 01:23:56,253 Speaker 2: That's a strange part of it because she seemed to 1734 01:23:56,253 --> 01:23:58,293 Speaker 2: live quite a frugal life. 1735 01:23:58,652 --> 01:24:01,173 Speaker 20: Yes, but look at the house, wasn't you know, it 1736 01:24:01,253 --> 01:24:03,372 Speaker 20: wasn't a little shack up in the bush. 1737 01:24:05,013 --> 01:24:07,852 Speaker 2: When you say that she she because there were times 1738 01:24:07,893 --> 01:24:10,973 Speaker 2: when she instigated the breakup though, weren't there because they 1739 01:24:10,973 --> 01:24:13,372 Speaker 2: were together and separated a number of times, her and 1740 01:24:13,412 --> 01:24:13,972 Speaker 2: her husband. 1741 01:24:15,532 --> 01:24:18,732 Speaker 20: But yeah, I think I think they were. I think 1742 01:24:18,893 --> 01:24:22,852 Speaker 20: there was several occasions when they separated and then you know, 1743 01:24:22,893 --> 01:24:26,532 Speaker 20: gone back together. And the other thing you said was, 1744 01:24:26,612 --> 01:24:29,253 Speaker 20: you know you couldn't understand why it took so long 1745 01:24:29,293 --> 01:24:31,692 Speaker 20: for the jury to come to the verdict, but that 1746 01:24:31,812 --> 01:24:35,972 Speaker 20: judge would have directed them to do everything by the book, 1747 01:24:36,492 --> 01:24:40,213 Speaker 20: because who wants to have another trial lasting nine and 1748 01:24:40,293 --> 01:24:42,492 Speaker 20: a half week and you've got to pay. 1749 01:24:42,333 --> 01:24:46,372 Speaker 2: For accommodation and Moreenie did say, as I was saying before, 1750 01:24:46,692 --> 01:24:50,013 Speaker 2: that the lack of motive was something that could be 1751 01:24:50,253 --> 01:24:52,772 Speaker 2: in her favor, didn't he I'm not getting the words right, 1752 01:24:53,173 --> 01:24:55,372 Speaker 2: So that might have made them deliberate a bit longer, 1753 01:24:55,933 --> 01:24:56,213 Speaker 2: you know. 1754 01:24:56,492 --> 01:24:59,173 Speaker 20: Discussing the moment so much that they had to go 1755 01:24:59,333 --> 01:25:01,892 Speaker 20: back over. I mean it was it was a lot 1756 01:25:01,973 --> 01:25:05,852 Speaker 20: to absorb, you know, you just think over seven to nine. 1757 01:25:05,652 --> 01:25:08,052 Speaker 2: Weeks, so much digital for evidence. 1758 01:25:09,093 --> 01:25:11,973 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I still can't see her as a criminal mastermind, 1759 01:25:12,013 --> 01:25:16,013 Speaker 3: Maureen that if she had been planning this for months. 1760 01:25:16,093 --> 01:25:18,973 Speaker 3: Just the fact that she looked up death cap mushrooms 1761 01:25:18,973 --> 01:25:21,732 Speaker 3: on her own device and then was caught trying to 1762 01:25:21,772 --> 01:25:24,293 Speaker 3: get rid of the dehydrator at the local waste factory 1763 01:25:24,333 --> 01:25:28,573 Speaker 3: where CCTV was very obvious if you're aware a criminal mastermind, 1764 01:25:28,812 --> 01:25:30,652 Speaker 3: clearly she might not have been a dummy, but she 1765 01:25:30,732 --> 01:25:31,972 Speaker 3: made some stupid mistakes. 1766 01:25:32,532 --> 01:25:35,732 Speaker 20: She did make some stupid mistakes, but don't clever people 1767 01:25:35,893 --> 01:25:38,093 Speaker 20: in the end make stupid mistakes. 1768 01:25:38,133 --> 01:25:41,092 Speaker 2: She did seem arrogant in some ways as well, Maureen, 1769 01:25:41,173 --> 01:25:43,293 Speaker 2: that example I was saying before where she was saying, 1770 01:25:43,293 --> 01:25:45,052 Speaker 2: I was going to check if the cops, the police 1771 01:25:45,093 --> 01:25:47,293 Speaker 2: was stupid enough to leave my phone on. There was 1772 01:25:47,293 --> 01:25:48,972 Speaker 2: a certain amount of arrogance to that comment. 1773 01:25:49,013 --> 01:25:51,693 Speaker 1: Didn't you think there was arrogance? 1774 01:25:51,772 --> 01:25:53,253 Speaker 20: And I mean, at the end of the day, you've 1775 01:25:53,253 --> 01:25:54,852 Speaker 20: got to feel sorry for her kids, don't you. 1776 01:25:54,853 --> 01:25:55,013 Speaker 4: Oh? 1777 01:25:55,253 --> 01:25:58,732 Speaker 2: Absolutely? Boy? Hey, but you say that she wanted her 1778 01:25:58,772 --> 01:26:02,532 Speaker 2: husband back. You think if her husband had turned up 1779 01:26:02,532 --> 01:26:06,133 Speaker 2: to the Beef Wellington extravaganza that she would have taken 1780 01:26:06,133 --> 01:26:06,852 Speaker 2: his life as well. 1781 01:26:07,173 --> 01:26:12,012 Speaker 26: That was part of He would be dead, Yeah, it'd 1782 01:26:12,013 --> 01:26:12,293 Speaker 26: be dead. 1783 01:26:12,372 --> 01:26:15,652 Speaker 20: Yeah, yeah, I mean who knows. Who knows what goes 1784 01:26:15,732 --> 01:26:21,013 Speaker 20: through the mind of someone who can make beef well Wellington. 1785 01:26:21,333 --> 01:26:25,133 Speaker 20: I've never made it, actually, so don't worry. I'll stick 1786 01:26:25,213 --> 01:26:26,173 Speaker 20: to my shortbread. 1787 01:26:26,492 --> 01:26:27,452 Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you so much. 1788 01:26:28,293 --> 01:26:31,572 Speaker 3: And Maureene just quickly, Maureene has messaged through that article 1789 01:26:31,612 --> 01:26:34,253 Speaker 3: on on ABC's whoever read it? That the background about 1790 01:26:34,253 --> 01:26:35,252 Speaker 3: who was there in prisoners? 1791 01:26:35,372 --> 01:26:37,452 Speaker 2: Was it nineteen million dollars or two million dollars? 1792 01:26:37,532 --> 01:26:39,333 Speaker 3: I thought it was two million dollars that was the 1793 01:26:39,333 --> 01:26:41,652 Speaker 3: inheritance she got from her grandmother. I mean, that's a 1794 01:26:41,652 --> 01:26:43,532 Speaker 3: hell of a lot of money in anyone's standards, But 1795 01:26:43,973 --> 01:26:45,333 Speaker 3: fourteen I didn't read that. 1796 01:26:45,372 --> 01:26:48,133 Speaker 2: If she inherited nineteen million dollars as a Texan who 1797 01:26:48,133 --> 01:26:50,333 Speaker 2: gets that? Could she have been set up? Is there 1798 01:26:50,372 --> 01:26:53,492 Speaker 2: another angle to it? Hey, look, there's been about one 1799 01:26:53,492 --> 01:26:55,892 Speaker 2: thousand text saying that my theory is idiotic, and I 1800 01:26:55,973 --> 01:26:58,612 Speaker 2: accept that, But this textasy is Matt, your theory might 1801 01:26:58,652 --> 01:27:00,052 Speaker 2: not be as silly as it sounds. 1802 01:27:00,532 --> 01:27:02,692 Speaker 3: Left of that, there's no context. I mean, why isn't 1803 01:27:02,692 --> 01:27:05,813 Speaker 3: it as silly as it sounds. She's on true crime podcasts. 1804 01:27:05,973 --> 01:27:08,052 Speaker 3: I mean, she's a big fan of true crime podcast 1805 01:27:08,492 --> 01:27:12,092 Speaker 3: on a true crime group that she's commenting on constantly 1806 01:27:12,173 --> 01:27:16,132 Speaker 3: on Facebook, and then she commits a murder that seems 1807 01:27:16,973 --> 01:27:21,692 Speaker 3: the perfect, perfect murder for a true crime podcast. Does 1808 01:27:21,772 --> 01:27:24,093 Speaker 3: no one else think that's a coincidence that perhaps she 1809 01:27:24,732 --> 01:27:27,812 Speaker 3: was so embroiled in the world that she started to 1810 01:27:27,812 --> 01:27:30,133 Speaker 3: believe that she was clever than in people and that 1811 01:27:30,173 --> 01:27:33,293 Speaker 3: she could put together this this murder and get away 1812 01:27:33,293 --> 01:27:35,532 Speaker 3: with it. I mean, I don't see, I don't see 1813 01:27:35,532 --> 01:27:37,053 Speaker 3: why everyone's calling me such a more on for that. 1814 01:27:37,812 --> 01:27:39,492 Speaker 3: I've said way stupid of things in this on the 1815 01:27:39,532 --> 01:27:41,532 Speaker 3: show and got less hate. Keep keep them coming at 1816 01:27:41,532 --> 01:27:45,093 Speaker 3: Matt nine two ninety nine two. It is sixteen past three. 1817 01:27:45,093 --> 01:27:48,532 Speaker 3: Back very shortly the more of your calls, very good afternoon, 1818 01:27:48,612 --> 01:27:51,013 Speaker 3: nineteen past three. We're talking about the verdict and the 1819 01:27:51,013 --> 01:27:54,052 Speaker 3: Aaron Patterson trial. The mushroom Cook guilty on all counts. 1820 01:27:54,133 --> 01:27:56,973 Speaker 3: Matt thinks his questions to be asked, and maybe she 1821 01:27:57,093 --> 01:28:01,253 Speaker 3: got so infatuated with true crime and her Facebook group 1822 01:28:01,572 --> 01:28:03,812 Speaker 3: that she tried to see if she could pull off 1823 01:28:03,853 --> 01:28:04,652 Speaker 3: the ultimate murder. 1824 01:28:04,772 --> 01:28:06,932 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's my theory and I'm sticking with it. So 1825 01:28:07,053 --> 01:28:10,772 Speaker 2: that's why she could pay for such a flash defense. 1826 01:28:11,053 --> 01:28:13,093 Speaker 2: Was that that money that she got from her grandmother 1827 01:28:13,173 --> 01:28:17,293 Speaker 2: that she should a two million dollar bequests? That's quite interesting. Hey, guys, 1828 01:28:17,333 --> 01:28:19,372 Speaker 2: I still don't think she is guilty of murder. Why 1829 01:28:19,372 --> 01:28:23,013 Speaker 2: would she want to kill them? Yeah's the motive? Yeah, Yes, 1830 01:28:23,173 --> 01:28:25,013 Speaker 2: here's the theory for you. Maybe all along she just 1831 01:28:25,053 --> 01:28:27,253 Speaker 2: wanted to be infamous. She may have had such a 1832 01:28:27,372 --> 01:28:30,412 Speaker 2: mundane life that she thought I'll just plan a murder, 1833 01:28:30,452 --> 01:28:32,372 Speaker 2: but not a very good murder, so I go to court, 1834 01:28:32,412 --> 01:28:35,133 Speaker 2: get convicted and have everybody talking about me. How's that? Well, 1835 01:28:35,173 --> 01:28:37,253 Speaker 2: everyone is talking about her. If I tell her that 1836 01:28:37,333 --> 01:28:38,532 Speaker 2: was her goal, then she's achieved it. 1837 01:28:38,612 --> 01:28:40,333 Speaker 3: Yeah, well done. She's getting a movie in her name, 1838 01:28:40,372 --> 01:28:40,972 Speaker 3: that's for sure. 1839 01:28:42,612 --> 01:28:44,972 Speaker 2: Matt, you are absolutely right. Department Keew was the best 1840 01:28:44,973 --> 01:28:47,492 Speaker 2: series I've ever watched. I believe they are making a 1841 01:28:47,492 --> 01:28:49,732 Speaker 2: follow up series from Mickey. Yeah, he goes, So someone 1842 01:28:49,732 --> 01:28:52,612 Speaker 2: agrees with my theory that Department U is a great show. 1843 01:28:52,893 --> 01:28:54,093 Speaker 3: Phil, what do you reckon? 1844 01:28:56,772 --> 01:29:00,012 Speaker 26: Well, just before I get onto that, since I can't 1845 01:29:00,013 --> 01:29:01,492 Speaker 26: bring it twice, I know you're going to do the 1846 01:29:01,532 --> 01:29:05,652 Speaker 26: old Corona Hotel as Kadrona Okale as well. And I've 1847 01:29:05,652 --> 01:29:07,652 Speaker 26: seen a little bit on TV about it, and yeah, 1848 01:29:07,692 --> 01:29:09,492 Speaker 26: I thought, what a neat thing it would be to 1849 01:29:09,572 --> 01:29:12,612 Speaker 26: boy and a lovely little lifestyle and community to live 1850 01:29:12,652 --> 01:29:15,972 Speaker 26: in with the people around it. Now, so that's that one. 1851 01:29:16,732 --> 01:29:16,932 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1852 01:29:16,933 --> 01:29:20,173 Speaker 26: I don't think Matt there is as crazy as as 1853 01:29:20,253 --> 01:29:24,052 Speaker 26: some people might think. It's down to a bit o cave. 1854 01:29:24,133 --> 01:29:26,532 Speaker 26: She had a bit of an arcissistic personality, then she 1855 01:29:26,612 --> 01:29:30,692 Speaker 26: might have wanted to just do that. And also I'm 1856 01:29:30,732 --> 01:29:35,173 Speaker 26: sure it has happened before you know, you could look 1857 01:29:35,692 --> 01:29:39,612 Speaker 26: look and find cases where people did commit herus crimes 1858 01:29:40,173 --> 01:29:42,213 Speaker 26: inus crimes like murder and not just to try and 1859 01:29:42,253 --> 01:29:46,053 Speaker 26: get away with it, you know, to be smart. And 1860 01:29:46,053 --> 01:29:50,333 Speaker 26: and the Texas before mentioned that as well, that sort 1861 01:29:50,333 --> 01:29:51,892 Speaker 26: of thing, And I just can't think of the word 1862 01:29:51,893 --> 01:29:53,612 Speaker 26: to you. But yeah, it's not it's not out of 1863 01:29:53,612 --> 01:29:59,093 Speaker 26: this world. But yeah, I was going to say too, 1864 01:29:59,133 --> 01:30:01,053 Speaker 26: like I can't believe she's working in the kitchen and 1865 01:30:01,093 --> 01:30:02,852 Speaker 26: the Aussie thing in the present. I'd go on a 1866 01:30:02,933 --> 01:30:03,773 Speaker 26: hunger strike. 1867 01:30:05,213 --> 01:30:07,812 Speaker 3: Exactly. Phil, Thank you for so much for giving us 1868 01:30:07,812 --> 01:30:10,412 Speaker 3: a buzz a couple of texts coming through here. 1869 01:30:10,572 --> 01:30:13,253 Speaker 2: Hi, Matt, I absolutely agree with your theory. She seemed 1870 01:30:13,253 --> 01:30:16,532 Speaker 2: to be the epitome of a narcissist personality, confident in 1871 01:30:16,572 --> 01:30:19,612 Speaker 2: creating the perfect crime. I mean, it could be if 1872 01:30:19,612 --> 01:30:21,652 Speaker 2: it wasn't. I mean, and you know, when you're talking 1873 01:30:21,652 --> 01:30:24,733 Speaker 2: about these things, there are three people that died. Absolutely, 1874 01:30:25,013 --> 01:30:29,253 Speaker 2: But it does feel a lot like a Midsummer murder plot, 1875 01:30:29,293 --> 01:30:32,052 Speaker 2: doesn't it, or a broken Wood mystery plot the whole. 1876 01:30:32,093 --> 01:30:38,293 Speaker 2: And I think that's why it's it's captured the imagination 1877 01:30:38,372 --> 01:30:40,492 Speaker 2: of the world because it's such an old school crime 1878 01:30:40,812 --> 01:30:45,612 Speaker 2: and So if you accept that, Tyler and you lovely listeners, 1879 01:30:45,612 --> 01:30:48,173 Speaker 2: If you accept that, and then you also have the 1880 01:30:48,213 --> 01:30:51,372 Speaker 2: information that she was obsessed with true crime stories to 1881 01:30:51,412 --> 01:30:54,333 Speaker 2: the point where she was on true crime forums talking 1882 01:30:54,333 --> 01:30:56,213 Speaker 2: about it. Doesn't that seem like a little bit of 1883 01:30:56,213 --> 01:30:56,813 Speaker 2: a coincidence? 1884 01:30:56,893 --> 01:30:59,732 Speaker 3: So you think this is almost like a heavenly creature situation. 1885 01:30:59,853 --> 01:31:03,173 Speaker 3: Pauline Parker, she was in a fantasy land and she 1886 01:31:03,333 --> 01:31:05,412 Speaker 3: just decided that, Hey, you know what would make my 1887 01:31:05,452 --> 01:31:07,092 Speaker 3: life good? Murdering four people? 1888 01:31:07,812 --> 01:31:10,372 Speaker 2: Yeah, well maybe who knows, Maybe she's crazy, who knows, 1889 01:31:10,412 --> 01:31:13,213 Speaker 2: But but it just seems a coincidence to me that 1890 01:31:13,652 --> 01:31:16,212 Speaker 2: she was interested in true crime and then she committed 1891 01:31:16,253 --> 01:31:20,333 Speaker 2: the most trumed crime podcast built for a true crime podcast, 1892 01:31:20,452 --> 01:31:22,852 Speaker 2: murder that's ever been committed in the history of humanity. 1893 01:31:22,893 --> 01:31:25,133 Speaker 3: It's getting more compelling this theory. Oh eight hundred eighty 1894 01:31:25,213 --> 01:31:27,213 Speaker 3: ten eighty is the number to call. It is twenty 1895 01:31:27,213 --> 01:31:27,892 Speaker 3: two past. 1896 01:31:27,652 --> 01:31:35,053 Speaker 1: Three, Matt Heath and Taylor Adams afternoons call oh eight 1897 01:31:35,173 --> 01:31:38,013 Speaker 1: hundred eighty ten eighty on youth Talk said the. 1898 01:31:37,732 --> 01:31:41,333 Speaker 2: Twenty five past three tim your thoughts on the mushroom 1899 01:31:41,452 --> 01:31:42,333 Speaker 2: Lady verdict? 1900 01:31:43,772 --> 01:31:49,173 Speaker 5: Okay, good aftern Gentlemen, First up, she's a vile Harodin. 1901 01:31:50,253 --> 01:31:56,372 Speaker 3: And yeah, I'm I'm just googling harodon I haven't heard 1902 01:31:56,372 --> 01:31:57,532 Speaker 3: that phrase, but I like it. 1903 01:31:58,692 --> 01:32:01,772 Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it sort of fits here. It was made 1904 01:32:01,772 --> 01:32:04,892 Speaker 5: for hair. I think there's a few around. But anyway, 1905 01:32:05,412 --> 01:32:07,812 Speaker 5: I'll probably get some stick for that, but it is 1906 01:32:07,853 --> 01:32:08,333 Speaker 5: what it is. 1907 01:32:08,412 --> 01:32:08,973 Speaker 3: Yeah, carry on. 1908 01:32:10,173 --> 01:32:13,812 Speaker 5: She sounds like a pretty much a narcissist and yes, 1909 01:32:14,093 --> 01:32:18,493 Speaker 5: totally ego driven. And I'm sure she's very clever and intelligent. 1910 01:32:18,612 --> 01:32:22,133 Speaker 5: She sounds like she's a lot more clever than I am. 1911 01:32:22,452 --> 01:32:25,333 Speaker 5: But I'm clever enough not to go and try and 1912 01:32:25,412 --> 01:32:26,652 Speaker 5: knock over three people? 1913 01:32:26,973 --> 01:32:28,852 Speaker 2: Are there three people you want to knock over? Tom? 1914 01:32:29,652 --> 01:32:33,053 Speaker 5: No, that's the thing there, there's the start of it there. 1915 01:32:33,853 --> 01:32:37,572 Speaker 5: And even if they even if they're aware, oh, I 1916 01:32:37,572 --> 01:32:39,812 Speaker 5: don't know, I'd go for a walk or something, or 1917 01:32:40,893 --> 01:32:44,333 Speaker 5: you know, I don't know, Dan had a kick a 1918 01:32:44,372 --> 01:32:46,253 Speaker 5: banana box out in the yard or something. 1919 01:32:46,532 --> 01:32:48,732 Speaker 2: I'm sure your family, your family will be happy to 1920 01:32:48,732 --> 01:32:51,173 Speaker 2: hear this, Tim. 1921 01:32:50,372 --> 01:32:56,213 Speaker 5: They'll be extended. Actually, and actually i am. I'm a 1922 01:32:56,333 --> 01:32:57,092 Speaker 5: very good cook. 1923 01:32:58,013 --> 01:33:00,853 Speaker 2: But you know, is there a beef Wellington in your repertoire? 1924 01:33:02,173 --> 01:33:05,253 Speaker 5: Actually there isn't. It's not something You're cackled, you know what, 1925 01:33:05,333 --> 01:33:06,692 Speaker 5: because I'm not clever enough. 1926 01:33:07,013 --> 01:33:13,093 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm a one part guy. Yeah, thanks for 1927 01:33:13,133 --> 01:33:16,372 Speaker 2: you cool, Tim, I appreciate that. Look, Okay, let's be honest. 1928 01:33:16,452 --> 01:33:19,293 Speaker 2: How many of us have googled death cat mushrooms since 1929 01:33:19,293 --> 01:33:21,973 Speaker 2: the murder happened. Are we incriminating ourselves by doing so? 1930 01:33:22,333 --> 01:33:22,492 Speaker 5: Good? 1931 01:33:22,572 --> 01:33:24,692 Speaker 2: Well, I mean the next step is committing murders with 1932 01:33:24,772 --> 01:33:26,893 Speaker 2: death cat mushrooms. Besides, you don't know, and it'll be 1933 01:33:26,973 --> 01:33:29,213 Speaker 2: checking your history. You're allowed to look at them, don't 1934 01:33:29,253 --> 01:33:31,972 Speaker 2: you know that every middle aged woman loves a true 1935 01:33:32,053 --> 01:33:36,372 Speaker 2: crime podcast, including me. Therefore that sort of rule. So 1936 01:33:36,532 --> 01:33:38,692 Speaker 2: that's pushing back on my theory that she was into 1937 01:33:38,812 --> 01:33:41,213 Speaker 2: true crime podcasts in the true crime world and then 1938 01:33:41,213 --> 01:33:45,892 Speaker 2: she committed a true crime type murder. Therefore that perhaps 1939 01:33:45,933 --> 01:33:47,293 Speaker 2: that was her motive to try and see if she 1940 01:33:47,333 --> 01:33:51,412 Speaker 2: could pull one off. But if every single woman is watching, listening, 1941 01:33:51,452 --> 01:33:53,972 Speaker 2: and watching these, then it doesn't really help my theory, 1942 01:33:54,013 --> 01:33:56,293 Speaker 2: does it. Matt, Your theory is so stupid it might 1943 01:33:56,293 --> 01:33:56,932 Speaker 2: actually be true. 1944 01:33:56,933 --> 01:34:02,852 Speaker 3: Thanks Muzzu. And this one here, Matt and Tyler Dave 1945 01:34:02,893 --> 01:34:05,852 Speaker 3: the Mad Scotsman here, Matt, your bang on the money mate. 1946 01:34:05,893 --> 01:34:07,972 Speaker 3: She was trying to prove to herself that she could 1947 01:34:08,732 --> 01:34:11,293 Speaker 3: worry not about the moronic non believers.

If she's 1960 01:34:43,772 --> 01:34:47,612 Speaker 27: a true crime podcast or your true crime person, surely 1961 01:34:47,692 --> 01:34:49,692 Speaker 27: she'd realize that the first thing the cops would do 1962 01:34:49,732 --> 01:34:52,693 Speaker 27: would be long to see what she'd be googling about mushrooms. 1963 01:34:52,893 --> 01:34:54,213 Speaker 21: So that's one thing. 1964 01:34:55,532 --> 01:35:00,133 Speaker 27: The other thing is said anyone look into her relationship 1965 01:35:00,173 --> 01:35:04,253 Speaker 27: with her ex. I read he'd reread you know, he'd 1966 01:35:04,293 --> 01:35:06,732 Speaker 27: read of course as children, but he'd been around for 1967 01:35:06,772 --> 01:35:09,412 Speaker 27: about five years and that only start arguing in the 1968 01:35:09,492 --> 01:35:12,492 Speaker 27: last few months.

It would 1975 01:35:35,053 --> 01:35:37,692 Speaker 2: be interesting to find out because the word woman scorned 1976 01:35:37,692 --> 01:35:39,892 Speaker 2: has been thrown around quite a bit in the text machine. 1977 01:35:40,013 --> 01:35:43,253 Speaker 3: Yeah, great discussion.

It's always 2077 01:40:57,933 --> 01:41:00,173 Speaker 11: amazing when it snows bringing people out, you know, that's 2078 01:41:00,213 --> 01:41:04,532 Speaker 11: always a really really fun time, beautiful time, you know, 2079 01:41:05,372 --> 01:41:06,732 Speaker 11: very different to the rest of the country. When you 2080 01:41:06,772 --> 01:41:09,852 Speaker 11: get to snow on the ground around the business. It's 2081 01:41:10,853 --> 01:41:13,253 Speaker 11: I don't know, there's so many Prince Harry coming out 2082 01:41:13,293 --> 01:41:15,253 Speaker 11: with Roy's member. I've got married and had kids in 2083 01:41:15,293 --> 01:41:18,732 Speaker 11: the time we've been here. It's just too many really. 2084 01:41:19,173 --> 01:41:21,013 Speaker 2: Yeah, and so and what we you miss the most 2085 01:41:21,053 --> 01:41:23,293 Speaker 2: about it when when you when you leave and where 2086 01:41:23,293 --> 01:41:23,812 Speaker 2: are you going? 2087 01:41:24,572 --> 01:41:26,532 Speaker 11: Well, we're going to stay local with a family. We're 2088 01:41:26,532 --> 01:41:28,572 Speaker 11: going to stay living here, but we actually plan to 2089 01:41:28,812 --> 01:41:30,812 Speaker 11: preps travel around Australia for a year when we get 2090 01:41:30,812 --> 01:41:34,692 Speaker 11: the time and everything sorted. Just once again, like the 2091 01:41:34,732 --> 01:41:37,412 Speaker 11: memories of owning it. That will be the sad thing 2092 01:41:37,452 --> 01:41:39,772 Speaker 11: for me, not owning it. But it is time for us, 2093 01:41:39,853 --> 01:41:41,133 Speaker 11: this time for us to go. 2094 01:41:42,253 --> 01:41:44,412 Speaker 2: So a lot of people are obviously looking at this. 2095 01:41:44,532 --> 01:41:46,093 Speaker 2: And as soon as I saw that it was on 2096 01:41:46,133 --> 01:41:49,213 Speaker 2: the market, the Katrona Hotel, I texted my I text 2097 01:41:49,293 --> 01:41:51,932 Speaker 2: my partner, I said, we should buy this, We should 2098 01:41:52,093 --> 01:41:54,492 Speaker 2: we should move there. There's a really romantic idea of it. 2099 01:41:54,532 --> 01:41:56,573 Speaker 2: You move there, you become a member of the community, 2100 01:41:56,652 --> 01:41:59,852 Speaker 2: you serve people at such an iconic place. But how 2101 01:41:59,893 --> 01:42:02,612 Speaker 2: hard is it to actually run something like the Kadrona Hotel, 2102 01:42:02,652 --> 01:42:05,692 Speaker 2: Because I imagine the romantic idea of it. The rubber 2103 01:42:05,732 --> 01:42:07,213 Speaker 2: hits the road pretty soon, and there's quite a lot 2104 01:42:07,213 --> 01:42:08,132 Speaker 2: of hard work involved. 2105 01:42:09,013 --> 01:42:11,013 Speaker 11: Yeah, there's not not mean like for your feed up 2106 01:42:11,133 --> 01:42:15,452 Speaker 11: drinking and wine in front of the fire. It's oh, 2107 01:42:15,532 --> 01:42:17,452 Speaker 11: it's hard. It's been grunt of a business these days. 2108 01:42:17,452 --> 01:42:20,973 Speaker 11: We've nearly got fifty staff all year round. You know, 2109 01:42:21,213 --> 01:42:23,093 Speaker 11: in the old days, winter was bigger than summer. Now 2110 01:42:23,093 --> 01:42:25,852 Speaker 11: summ's bigger than winter.
