1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: So we're cracking down on the kids. We're going to

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: crush the cars. We're going to crush the smartphones, which

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: all sounds nice and lovely, but it'll come down to enforcement.

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: For all the time Judith Collins spent in the scrap

5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: metal yards for photo ops, it's not quite the crusher

6
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: that those photo ops made her out to be. She wasn't.

7
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: And the five years after they passed the law, guess

8
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: how many cars they crushed? Three? But that was a

9
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: three strike solution. Mark Mitchell, the destroyer is moving us

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: to a first strike program. So you're gone in sixty

11
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 1: second street race. You just won away of those from

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: the destruction of your car or potentially your car ending

13
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: up on the turner's auction website. If you've tried to

14
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: get some sleep in an area where this convoy or

15
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: one like at some sabaru at three am in the

16
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: morning and there are dozens of them, very annoying, very distracting,

17
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: can't sleep. I can see why they're doing this, So

18
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,319
Speaker 1: why not double down on the crusher thing? But it's

19
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: about enforced, isn't it. And that's the same with the phones.

20
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: The phones, the tiktop problem far bigger than the car

21
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: one because it affects well most kids. About ninety percent

22
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: of kids when they get to high school have a smartphone.

23
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: So this is interesting because we moved beyond a members

24
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: bill now to a government bill, so a social media

25
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: ban of some sort is officially on the agenda. The

26
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: problem with enforcement here is obvious. How do you you

27
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: know when there are so many workarounds, how do you

28
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: make sure they're not going on social media? And the

29
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: enforces will not be the police, It will be the parents.

30
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,279
Speaker 1: And here is the problem with that. Most parents spend

31
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: time on social media, spend more time on social media

32
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: than their kids. Nearly half of KIWI teams say that

33
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: their parent is at least sometimes distracted by their phone

34
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: when they're talking to them. What sort of an example

35
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: is being set here? Is it like telling you not

36
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: to smoke while you're puffing away on a pack of

37
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: Winning Blues on the couch. Enforcement of whatever rules we

38
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,559
Speaker 1: pass to manage the impulses of our teenagers will ultimately

39
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: be determined by how successful those measures are in being enforced.
