00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Barry Sober, Senior political correspondence with.

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 2: US Hallo Barry, Good afternoon, Heaven.

3
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: J mcskimming is pleaded guilty.

4
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 2: Well, isn't it incredible? I can't remember a top policeman

5
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: like this ever being charged. And it'll see no doubt

6
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 2: the Minister of Police wiping his brow Mark Mitchell because

7
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 2: he came so close to being the Commissioner of Police.

8
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 2: It's recommended by Mark to the Prime Minister. The Prime

9
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 2: Minister then refers it up to the Governor General and

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: the appointment is made for five years. And you just

11
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: imagine if they'd made a different choice and jevn mcskimming

12
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: would now be the Commissioner of Police or would have been.

13
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 2: So the government escaped the bullet there, there's no doubt

14
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,959
Speaker 2: about that. And I've got to say if you look

15
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: at the statement from the Commissioner of Police Richard Chambers,

16
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 2: very strong. Indeed, he said his behavior was disgraceful and

17
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: it's right that he has been held to account for it.

18
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 2: He said it's not only criminal, it goes against the

19
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: core values of the police and really it has dented

20
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 2: the police. This just disgraceful. So I understand you're going

21
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: to be talked to, talking to Mark Mitchell and he'll

22
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: have more disailer.

23
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, now, did this some business with the school boards

24
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: and the Treaty of Whitehanguy blow up in Parliament?

25
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: Well, not really blew up, but certainly it showed how

26
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: passionate the Minister of Education, Erica Stanford is about it.

27
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: The government's of course, removing the requirement for schools to

28
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: give effect to the Treaty of waitang the other boards

29
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: with the government saying the crown its responsibility is the

30
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: Treaty of Waitangi and it shouldn't be volunteer boards of schools.

31
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 2: And you can understand that the Education Minister was asked

32
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: to justify the removal of the treaty requirement by the

33
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: school boards. The questions were being fired by the troubled

34
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: Maldi party's co leader Debi no Riwa Packer, sitting whispering

35
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: to each other behind her. Directly behind her where the

36
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: party's troublesome MPs Marimino Carpakini and Takuta Ferris. Eric Is Stanford,

37
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 2: though she was charged as she answered the questions. Here

38
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: she is.

39
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 3: Achievement data or Tamardiki. Mardi has been declining for decades.

40
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 3: The gap is yawning. And if we want to talk

41
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 3: about a treaty breach, that is it. The evidence that

42
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 3: I have is it only ten percent of Marty's students

43
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 3: are at curriculum for mathematics by the time they go

44
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 3: to high school, seventy eight percent, more than a year behind.

45
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 4: What message does the minister think this sends to Tomata

46
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 4: Ki Mardi's sitting in classrooms today that their language, their

47
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 4: culture and identity no longer belong in the system meant

48
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 4: to uplift them.

49
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 3: What it sends is the signal that we take our

50
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 3: core crown responsibility for upholding the Treaty very seriously when

51
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 3: it comes to raising achievement for Marti's students, and we

52
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 3: are the first government in a very long time to

53
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 3: see any of those results turn around.

54
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: And you don't often hear a minister's reply being applauded,

55
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 2: but she certainly much longer than I played you then.

56
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, interesting from debing Yard. So Mike Davidson has made

57
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: in speech this is the new bossy.

58
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, well he's the replacement for the non binary Benjamin Doyle.

59
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: Mike Davison made has made in speech Davidson, as far

60
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 2: as I know, is thankfully he hymn, which is a

61
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 2: great relief to me. But he says the major problems

62
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: facing the country is climate change, and he's advocating public transport,

63
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: bikes and electric cars, and he says he's going to

64
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: be keeping the blow torch on the government.

65
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 5: I stand in this house today concerned for our future.

66
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 5: Our communities are struggling, and the environment is under attack,

67
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 5: and politics across the globe and here in New Zealand

68
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 5: is becoming more confrontational and toxic. We are failing out, Tamareki.

69
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 5: But while I'm concerned, there is hope. Over the next

70
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 5: twelve months, I will work with my Green colleagues to

71
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 5: hold this government to accounts, to challenge them, and to

72
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 5: show that people of al Tierrale what a government with

73
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 5: a greenheart will offer our country, a country that upholds

74
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 5: the Titi old white hangy, that takes real action on

75
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 5: climate change and lifts people out of poverty.

76
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: There you go, That's what the Greens are offering is

77
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: so go out and vote next year because they'll be

78
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 2: part of the coalition. Government of Labour has anything to

79
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 2: do with it. You, But it is true isn't it.

80
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: What I'm saying is unless Labour can win in its

81
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 2: own role.

82
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: I'm still on your complete inability to just handle different pronouns.

83
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: I am glad Bushy's gone to glad Bussy's gone. So

84
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: that the BSA complains about you and your inability to

85
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: do it.

86
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: End well, the BSA should end. That's what I thought.

87
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,080
