1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,360
Speaker 1: We've got to look at the government. We'll get a

2
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: look at the government's re Right of the Arms Act today.

3
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,359
Speaker 1: Current laws go back to eighty three argument as they're outdated.

4
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: Nicole McKey has led the charge for change. Gwinn Thurlough

5
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: is the CEO of the New Zealand air Storker's Association.

6
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: Good Morning, Good Morning, Make no draft. So is what

7
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: you're getting a surprise or have you got a hint?

8
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 2: No, we're getting a complete surprise. That's been very hush hush.

9
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 2: Why we think it's because there's a lot of risk

10
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 2: of interest groups and the really pro gum people and

11
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 2: the anti gun people getting upset before they read the

12
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 2: whole act. And I think we're as the sort of

13
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 2: middle of the road hunters and gatherers here, we're sort

14
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 2: of also kept in the dark until we see the

15
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 2: full rewrite when it's launched by the government.

16
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: What's your vibe on Nicole McKey? She a sensible person,

17
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: will do right by you, or this could go pear shape.

18
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: Look, she's actually quite well respected, and she's well respected

19
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 2: within the firearms community. And she used to be an educator,

20
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: so she worked for the Mountain Safety Council She with

21
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: EWE groups on a program called Fuckatu Patou, which helped

22
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 2: to get outreach on safety use of firearms. So within

23
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: the community she's seen as someone that might be able

24
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: to walk the fine line between, you know, balancing public

25
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 2: safety and everyone's interest in having the lawful use of firearm.

26
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of trust in her and hopefully

27
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: she uses that wisely when she rewrites the fact.

28
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: All right, we'll see what she has to say today.

29
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,600
