1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: Very so passing your political correspondence with us.

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 2: Hey, Barry, good afternoon, Heather.

3
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: Okay, So I see Luxon went read in the face

4
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: when he was asked about Andy Coulster.

5
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 2: Well, yes, he wasn't quite about to announce the Social

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 2: Investment Agency new head of it.

7
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: Oh sood he had had this actually got ahead of itself.

8
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: Well ye, what happened was the press release was issued

9
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: about the same time that Christopher Luxon was speaking to

10
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: journalists yes on his way into caucus, and he didn't

11
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: realize clearly that it had been released. And then push

12
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: part way through, he was told, well, we've already got

13
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: a copy of the release, So that made him a

14
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 2: but red face. I think he was sort of caught

15
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 2: on the hop on that one. But Andy Coster is

16
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 2: really interesting to me because I remember all the brew

17
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 2: haha at the time when he was appointed over others

18
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: like Mike Clement, a hard nosed old cop at the

19
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 2: time by Desindhar Dun because the Prime Minister, along with

20
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: the Minister of Police, but the Prime as the final

21
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: say on who the commissioner is. And this was sort

22
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: of out of left field, if you like. Andy cost

23
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 2: to taking the job and he's been the subject, as

24
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: we all know, of much criticism. Simon Bridges, you remember

25
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 2: the Strikeforce raptor man. When he was the head of

26
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: the National Party. He described him as a woke Commissioner

27
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: of Police, which is pretty unusual for a politician of

28
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 2: that elk to do that. But I've got to say

29
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 2: Chris Luxon wouldn't hear an ill spoken word against Commissioner

30
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: cost and was quite defensive of the outgoing cops record.

31
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 3: I'm the leader of the National Party and I'll just

32
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 3: say to you, when we came to power, mart Mitchell

33
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 3: wrote a lovely four page Leader of Expectations and he's

34
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 3: an exceptionally good job for us. I'm very proud of

35
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 3: I think he's an exceptional good job. Now he's done

36
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 3: a really good job. You might want to be little

37
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 3: at with those sort of questions, but the Pointer, well,

38
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 3: I'm not Simon Bridges. If you have noticed, I'm the

39
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 3: leader of Chris lux and the leader of National Party

40
00:01:59,360 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: promise rom his O.

41
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: Somebody pointed this out to me. It might have been Yeah,

42
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: I realized it was actually pointed out to me yesterday.

43
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: He's getting quite shirty with the media, am Yes, and

44
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: it's a.

45
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 2: Bit of pushback, and I think it's probably time that

46
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: Luxon did that, because he's been too placid up until now.

47
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 2: And look at all Winston Peter has taken a leaf

48
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 2: out of his book. I mean lost, He's not lost

49
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: nothing in the way he treats the media if they

50
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 2: get annoyed. I remember old Jerry Brownly once and Paddy

51
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: Gold remember this. Paddy wrote some stories that Jerry wasn't

52
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: all broadcast, some stories that Jerry wasn't happy about it.

53
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: Jerry literally refused to speak to him when he came

54
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 2: across for bridge runs and normally politicians speak to everyone.

55
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: Hey, is Takouota Ferris in trouble tomorrow?

56
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: Well, yes, I remember last week the Maldi party. Ferris

57
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: accused his parliamentary colleagues of being liars. Then in the

58
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: next breath he told one himself here he is to

59
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: remind you lies.

60
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 4: In other words, many in this house are masters of it,

61
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 4: and it is a.

62
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 3: Disservice to those who voted you into your positions.

63
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: He made the allegation that members of his parliament lies

64
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 2: there should be stopped on the tracks.

65
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 4: Right then, My apologies, I didn't quite pick that up

66
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 4: but if that is what the members said, then he

67
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 4: should withdraw and apologize as quickly as possible.

68
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: I haven't made that statement.

69
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: A well, you know, Parliament has forgotten that he did

70
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: make that statement, and I believe there'll be more about

71
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: it tomorrow. He's got to set the record straight the privileges.

72
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: He's had a privilege's complaint laid against him and he's

73
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: gotten until midday tomorrow to respond to that complaint, presumably

74
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: apologize to the House in the afternoon. If he doesn't

75
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 2: do that, then it's over to the Speaker and Jerry

76
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: Browne I think would probably be of a mind to

77
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 2: send him to the Privileges Committee.

78
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: With Karen saw.

79
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: Oh well, this is a great piece from Carrenture. I

80
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: felt today. Now everybody knows that the Children's Commissioner, she

81
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: was herself foster child, and she left no one in

82
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: any doubt about how she feels about children coming under

83
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: the care of a rung of tamaiki. Chure was being

84
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: questioned by the Greens Kaarrangi Kata about contracted services being

85
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: cut to a rung a tamriiki, but she was passionate

86
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: to say the least children.

87
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 4: Do come to the attention of dung atomediqi when those

88
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 4: who are supposed to care for them have failed and

89
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 4: autung Atomitiki has to come in at a child's worst

90
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 4: moment and actually make sure that they are taken care of.

91
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 4: It is disgusting that autong atomiki has to exist. People

92
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 4: need to step up and start taking care.

93
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: Of their children.

94
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: Here here, Yeah, a lot of people will agree with that.

95
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: Do you think the Greens are doing the right things

96
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: thing taking us to a meeting.

97
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: Well, it's got the potential of dragging it out even

98
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 2: longer that you imagine they've now put down October seventeen,

99
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 2: when the lall get together at sex thirty at night,

100
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: or their delegates will and decide wh they will enact

101
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: the wocker jumping legislation will in the meantime, of course,

102
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 2: Darlene Tanner could play them at the game again and

103
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 2: appeal the decisions. So this could go on and on

104
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: and on. Yeah.

105
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: Interesting, and the part of me hopes it does because.

106
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: It's you just like you, just like seeing somebody being

107
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: an irritant. Well, if you pick it, you're got to

108
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: live with it.

109
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: Thank you, I appreciate it. Very sober senior political correspondent

110
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:23,080
