1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: Gail Parata and it balls saving grace. She's quit his

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,439
Speaker 1: national selector and gone out making a number of suggestions

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: over the way the Nolin Tarusaga has been handled. Gail

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: Parata is with us.

5
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 2: Good morning, morning mate.

6
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: Let's start this really simply your level of concern and

7
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: upset at this whole business one. You couldn't give a

8
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: monkey's ten. You're apoplectic. Where are you at?

9
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 3: Well, maybe a safe seven?

10
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: A safe seven. You don't quit because nothing's going wrong.

11
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: What led you to speak out the way you have?

12
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 3: Or absolutely disappointed in the whole process of how our

13
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 3: neckborne news don't come about? With standing day Nolling down,

14
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 3: I believe that day Nolling and debbyfore are the best

15
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 3: coaches to take our Silver Firs team forward. The visionary,

16
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 3: they are, intelligence, the tactical, and smart, all the things

17
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 3: that you need in world class coaches. And so that's

18
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 3: one of the key reasons why I decided to step down.

19
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: Did you tell all this to Jinny and Matt?

20
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 3: No. I just gave them my notice and said that

21
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 3: I was disappointed with the whole process. That's as much

22
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 3: as I said.

23
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: And were they in shock or surprised?

24
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 3: Well, they were all leave when I get my my

25
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 3: resignation leader in.

26
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 2: So that's disappointing.

27
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: So can you confirm for us this is simply about

28
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: a handful of players that didn't like the way that

29
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: Noles runs. The thing is is it that simple?

30
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 3: That is? Is that simple? There's about thirty one people

31
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 3: in the silver events environment, that's including management and other athletes,

32
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 3: and they spoke to five silver events plus two junior

33
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 3: silver events? You know, why did they not speak to everyone?

34
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 3: So that's really really disappointing.

35
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: So can we say it's seven out of thirty one

36
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: who have problems?

37
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 3: Yes?

38
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: Right, and the problems they have are what just Nol's

39
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: who approach is just what a bit aggressive, a bit

40
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: over whatever the case may be.

41
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 3: Is that is well, that's what they're saying. I don't

42
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 3: know that exact part what it is, Like everyone else,

43
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 3: I'm in the dark. But what I can say is

44
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 3: that series against the New South Wales Swiss where we

45
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 3: got Trump wasn't a good look for our national team

46
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 3: and so you've probably deserve to get a bit of

47
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 3: a blast about that.

48
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's that's all it's about. It's about Noel

49
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: said we lost and We've got to do better. Let's

50
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: pull up our socks, get on with this and work

51
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: a bit harder, be a bit fedter, etcetera.

52
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 2: This is all it's about.

53
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 3: Absolutely. I believe that it is because I know noleye.

54
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 3: I've been in the civil fans environment many years as

55
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 3: a coach with Nolan and also as the national selector,

56
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 3: and I have never never seen any well. Unsafe is

57
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 3: the word that's been touted that Noley from Nolen at all?

58
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 2: Is there an environment?

59
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: And this is the value of what you've done, Gail,

60
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: because we get an insight because they're not talking. Is

61
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: there an environment with a Netball New Zealand at management

62
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: level that that's sort of I'm not happy and I'm

63
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: unsafe that that sort of talk would be taken on

64
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: board and acted upon. Would you have described that as

65
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: a place where that happens before this or not?

66
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 3: I would honestly not know. Mike. Are you talking about

67
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 3: ethnical news Viellas, Yeah, Oh yeah, sorry, No. I suppose

68
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 3: my role has just been as well in that end

69
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 3: where the civil films aren't really so I'm not sure

70
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 3: about that side.

71
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: Do you look at a player well from a selector's

72
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: point of view, Then do you look at a player's

73
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,399
Speaker 1: robustness beyond the court, the ability to pass the ball

74
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: and hold their position. Do you look at the mental

75
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: so called mental fragility of a player? I mean, is

76
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: that an issue?

77
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 3: Absolutely, absolutely as part of our selections. And you can

78
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 3: read this specially if you have the experience of working

79
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 3: with athletes for years, you do look at that side.

80
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: Because the thing that concerns I think a lot of

81
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: us is that it's not like no one knows who

82
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: Noling Tarua is or what she's about. I mean, she

83
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: is one of the most esteemed operators in the sport

84
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: and has been for decades. And what is this tell

85
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: us about. You can get a couple of young people

86
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: upset and suddenly you're on the sideline.

87
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's why it's very scary to be a

88
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,839
Speaker 3: coach right now. I mean, you know, the job is demanding,

89
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 3: often voluntary, for many long hours, and you know that

90
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 3: type of thing can happen to any coach and next

91
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 3: minute they don't have a job again.

92
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, how would you have handled it?

93
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: A view of the boss, Well, they needed to be

94
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 3: due process, they needed to be transparent, fairness, in there

95
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 3: as well. You know, one, they should never have done

96
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 3: a review with five or seven athletes. That was just

97
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 3: wrong right from the beginning. I understand there hasn't been

98
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 3: a formal complaint either, so you know, there's been no

99
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 3: other process to follow really.

100
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: So because the problem with us now, Gail is we've

101
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: lost you, We've lost no Lane. How long does this

102
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: need to go and how many more people do we

103
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: need to lose?

104
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 3: Well, fortunately it's going to go to the end of

105
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 3: the year because she's been down to then. But yeah, again,

106
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 3: I just think it's a ridiculous decision that Nipple has

107
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 3: made and you know, from five consumed athletes and here

108
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 3: we are.

109
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, so your message to Jinny Wiley and Matt.

110
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 3: Winner as what, well, they need to reinstate Dave Nolen

111
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 3: and d Befoller so we can get on a you know,

112
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 3: we've been preparing for the last four years for the

113
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 3: Commonwealth Games in the Nipple World Cup. This is now

114
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 3: delaying our process forward for that. The new coaches don't

115
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 3: know the athletes right now, I mean, the brand new

116
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 3: to them, and we're the ones that know exactly what

117
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 3: the athletes can do and what our plan was. So

118
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 3: they need to reinstate day Nolin and Dy before that.

119
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: All right, Gail, appreciate it very much. Girl Parata, there's

120
