1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 1: What a contrast Saturday night was he at Eden Park

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: Rugby as good as you could possibly want. For all

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: the hype and the worry of the week, the All

4
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: Blacks reminded us that when it comes together, when it

5
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: really matters and records of significance are on the line,

6
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: there was no side in the world that can touch them.

7
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,479
Speaker 1: We won well, we never looked like we would lose,

8
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: and when you know you're that good, there's no reason

9
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: to believe you won't win the rest of the season. Meantime,

10
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,240
Speaker 1: in the by election, what a shocking reminder of several things.

11
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: One give an MMP we no longer need Maory seats.

12
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: Two given those who argue for Maory seats to do

13
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: so at least in part because Murray need to see

14
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: themselves represented and they need the chance to participate. Why

15
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 1: don't they The turnout was appalling. It was a joke.

16
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: Three What does the result tell you about the Labour Party? Four?

17
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: What does the result tell you about the Marory Party?

18
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: Let's deal with three. First, the seat's been Henay's for

19
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: three terms until he lost last time by forty two votes.

20
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: Not great, but not the end of the world. Yet

21
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: Saturday they rejected him spectacularly. Not only couldn't they get

22
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,319
Speaker 1: the vote out, those that did turn up didn't want

23
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: Heneray All Labor. You can argue all you want about

24
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: by elections and history and turnouts, but this was embarrassing.

25
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: But back to four, this was not a win for

26
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: the candidate either. This was a win for the party.

27
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: The candidate didn't seem up to much. Worryingly, that doesn't

28
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: seem to matter, which indicates in most races, we don't

29
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: vote for the individual, we vote for the party. The

30
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: Maori Party will be worried because they too fail to

31
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: get the vote out, But boyd I guess by the

32
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: fact that they seem to have the Maory vote such

33
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: as it is stitched up, so the All Blacks march

34
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: on after one of the great matches. The Marory Party

35
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,639
Speaker 1: take a win that was worryingly troubled, and the Labor

36
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: Party must really be wondering if the size of this

37
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: rejection is potentially there to be played out again next

38
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: year short of them doing something pretty spectacular between now

39
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: and next October and November. For more from the Mic
