There Jenny. I thought 28 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: the power cut was mid afternoon because I was I 29 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: was watching question Time and somebody was reporting the power cut, 30 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: and I thought, well, hold on, question Time is going 31 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: to go into the dark. I've never seen anything like 32 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: this in my life. And it didn't.

You could have 36 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 4: played spotlight and question Time. That would have been. 37 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be called? Would so they function as well. 38 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 2: I know that Lloyd Booler stopped me on the tiles 39 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 2: on the way into Parliament and he was very concerned 40 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 2: that the power had gone out, which I had no 41 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 2: idea the power had gone out, and he thought that 42 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 2: NIMA should be mobilized, and I said, relax, Lloyd, it's 43 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 2: just the powers. 44 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: Bloody, those bloody journalists.

The council asked for the money, 103 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: they said, look, how about we spend it on a bridge. 104 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 4: No, but the problem was that the government changed its 105 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 4: priorities and didn't prioritize cycling and walking, so that bridge 106 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 4: was no longer fund. Everyone loves the bridge, great bridge, 107 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 4: no complaints there, but because of the government's priorities changing 108 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 4: on transport, that bridge wasn't funded. And so instead of 109 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 4: just coughing up the money, they went and took it 110 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 4: out of housing money and said, oh, there you go, 111 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 4: we'll have it now. So everyone wants the bridge agreed 112 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 4: on that, but they've pinched it at a money that 113 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 4: was meant for building more houses. 114 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 2: And because it's text person money and unlike you guys 115 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 2: who just think you can just borrow and spend Anthrid 116 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 2: every week, we. 117 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 3: Can't cut money. 118 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 2: As at well.

Is 177 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: that what you're saying. 178 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 4: We'll release our environment policy before the election and will 179 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 4: make clear what our position is on those areas. 180 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 3: But we're not doing that today, right. 181 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: That's fine, So your environment policy will contain the information 182 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: As a potential voter I need to know as to 183 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: whether those sort of things are going to see the 184 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: light of day or not. 185 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 4: It'll put our position clear on mining in terms of 186 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 4: where these jobs and where we think there's benefit there 187 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 4: in other areas where we think that they're not working, 188 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 4: so we'll be clear. 189 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 2: Might hang on a second. There's a mess of conflict here. 190 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 2: Jinny was on the radio with us a couple of 191 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 2: weeks ago saying absolutely not. There will not have any 192 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 2: bolt ons. They will not increase the CGT. You know, 193 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 2: it's not a stalking horse. So they were alemant about that. 194 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 2: Why can't they be element about this policy with the Greens, 195 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 2: why can't they provide certainty? 196 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: I think that's going to be one of the issues 197 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,239 Speaker 1: in the campaign generation from both sides, in the sense 198 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: that people want and this is where Peters has got 199 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: himself into trouble over the years because he does that, well, 200 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: let the people vote first, or that crap. We want 201 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: to know what's you know, at the extreme end of 202 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: the spectrum, what am I voting for? 203 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 4: That's fear And we're our environment spokesperson and we'll work 204 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 4: together to have a clear policy that comes out before 205 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 4: the election so people know exactly what they're getting, and 206 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 4: so that the view that we're just going to rule 207 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:34,559 Speaker 4: that all mining is not case. 208 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 1: No, no, no, that's fine. You can have your own mining policy. 209 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: That's that's fine, and you'll be a more moderate version 210 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: of the Greens. But I mean you're going to be 211 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: if you're in the election in government with the Greens. 212 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: And I just want to know if I'm I'm looking 213 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: at you guys, do I get the nutters with you 214 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: or not? 215 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 4: Well, no, Mark's got a scis no. The view the 216 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 4: view that is that we all have an environment policy 217 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 4: that lays it clear what our position is. 218 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 3: On mine and we'll include bottom line clear idea. 219 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 4: Well, it'll say where we see this benefit from warning 220 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 4: for the New Zealand economy where it does generate jobs, 221 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 4: and in other areas where it's probably detrimental to other 222 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 4: pure that's. 223 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: Your advantage, isn't it, Because at least in looking at 224 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: you guys, we know where you're at with Act, where 225 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: you're at with New Zealand. First you've got a track 226 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: record there there will be some bottom lines or not, 227 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: whatever the case may be, so people have an understanding 228 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: of what's possible what's not right. 229 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, and look our tea right now. In a world 230 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 2: of uncertainty, the best thing that a government can do 231 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 2: is provide certainty for people. Provide certainty for people in 232 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 2: terms of whether they want to make a big investment 233 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 2: a small investment planning for the future. They want to 234 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 2: have certainty. They want to know what they can expect 235 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 2: in the coming years. And so I just think that 236 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 2: it's incumbent upon all parties, especially the government, right now, 237 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 2: to signal exactly what we're going to do and how 238 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 2: we're going to do it, just very quickly. MIKEA, I 239 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 2: didn't you get a chance to talk about the Hutbridge steal. 240 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 2: Very simply. It was a pragmatic approach where they moved 241 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 2: some money so they could deliver a walking bridge that 242 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 2: the council asked for. Kieran mac and Oldie Jinny. I 243 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 2: think even Hipkins tried to go Chris Bishop yesterday it 244 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 2: fell flat. They got nowhere to go. 245 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: It was a good pragmatic system, Juny. 246 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 3: I have no problem with no problem with the bridge. 247 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 3: It's effect you took. 248 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, you support the bridge. 249 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 4: They canceled it. Your government canceled that bridge because we. 250 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 2: Didn't cancel anything. 251 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 3: We're under your government. 252 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 2: And we're not millions and millions and millions of dollars 253 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 2: into very expensive cycle ways when we're going to be 254 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 2: investing into our rise and get people made. 255 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 3: So don't take money out of housing when people are homeless. 256 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: Quick question, we haven't done any. Quick question. Where's Chippy 257 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: getting married? 258 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 3: I do not know. 259 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: I do not know that. 260 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 3: Do you expect and if I did? 261 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 4: I don't know, I think I would get in trouble 262 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,199 Speaker 4: for talking problem on the radio. 263 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: Would you expect an invite?
