1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Barry soapers here with politics. Hey Barry, good afternoon. Right,

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: so we've got a couple of politicians in hot Water

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: of sorts today and both speaking.

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 2: Yes, Hamish Campbell, who's the Island mp ilm MP. He

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 2: took over from Jerry Brownly. You know, he's a part

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 2: of a sect called I think it's called the Two's

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: or something two by two, and I mean he was

8
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 2: brought up clearly in this sect, and it's an association

9
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: more than a cultivated covered sect by the sound of things.

10
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 2: But they do have meetings in their houses and you know,

11
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,279
Speaker 2: to suggest that he has something to do with what

12
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: they're being investigated for, that's some sexual offenses. You would,

13
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: you know, talk about drawing a long bow. I mean,

14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: I was brought up a Roman Catholic, for goodness sake,

15
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: and you know there's plenty of transgressions in that church.

16
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 2: And to say that because I belonged to the church

17
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: that somehow was involved in that, I think is stretching

18
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 2: the bow far too far, and that's what's happened I

19
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 2: think in this case. Moving on to Benjamin Doylele he

20
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 2: of course goes by those pronouns they and them. He's

21
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 2: fronted up at Parliament today. He said that he in

22
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: fact was naive. He was told by the Greens to

23
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: take down the posts that have caused defense, but he

24
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 2: chose not to. And he said the term bussy, which

25
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 2: has been made a lot of meaning a man's or

26
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 2: not a man's an anus, He said it was a basicly,

27
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: was never said in a sexual context when it came

28
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 2: to him. It was simply a nickname that he had.

29
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: So they have just fronted up to the media and

30
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: they gave their view of how they've been treated here they.

31
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 3: Are I knew coming to Parliament that I would face

32
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: prejudice and homophobia. I knew that people would not like

33
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 3: the way I dress or speak, or the causes that

34
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 3: I advocate for. I knew that I would be under scrutiny,

35
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 3: as is appropriate for every single person that has the

36
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 3: privilege of this position. That I could never imagine or

37
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 3: prepare myself to be attacked in such a baseless, personal

38
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 3: and violent way, that my life and that of my

39
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 3: child would been threatened, That poisonous, transphobic hate and imported

40
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 3: culture wars would be leveled against me and my community.

41
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 2: Threats can't be countenanced. Anywhere. But I'm sorry, I think

42
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 2: he's been the author of his own misfortune by his naivety.

43
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: Yes, naivity maybe, But are these two cases not similar?

44
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: And that you've got you've got insinuations, haven't you of

45
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: untoward things and young people? You've got two MPs And

46
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: you've actually got no hard evidence either on either case.

47
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: So are we what are we doing here?

48
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: Well? You know this is the way politics is sort of,

49
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: you know, it's the press gallery chasing these people.

50
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: All right, Let's move on then, something more important. Wool

51
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: and having their day in the sun today.

52
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: Yes, indeed they It most certainly is and the wool

53
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 2: growers will be very happy about it. From July one,

54
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: government agencies and there are one hundred and thirty of them,

55
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: they'll be required to refurbish with wool. Now standing in

56
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 2: for the Minister of Agriculture Nikolair Gregg clearly got more

57
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 2: than she asked for and extalling the virtues of wall

58
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: in Parliament this afternoon.

59
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 4: Last year, the sector contributed a half a billion dollars

60
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 4: to the economy and this policy will help create jobs,

61
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,119
Speaker 4: drive economic growth in our rural communities and encourage innovation

62
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 4: in our building material industry, and I note missed to

63
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 4: speaker how much you very much enjoy that the walls

64
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 4: of your office are currently covered in wool. Yeah, they

65
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 4: stinking supplement.

66
00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 5: You expected.

67
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: Goodness?

68
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: Perhaps he needs them clean now. The Greens are tam

69
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: of the pool. She's come out swinging, hasn't she?

70
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: What you know that this pole that came out and

71
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 2: it doesn't turn up any surprises at all. Of course,

72
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 2: most people feel safe when they see the police, and

73
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: forty eight percent of Green voters indeed said that they

74
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: feel safe for the bigger presence of the police. And

75
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 2: Wonnington Central, of course, where she's the MP, sixty six

76
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: percent felt more safe with the police on the beat.

77
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 2: And in Auckland, and this is Chloe Swarbrick's electorate, sixty

78
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: two percent said that they felt more safe. So safety,

79
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 2: the safety felt by an overwhelming majority of keywis you'd

80
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 2: think would be enough for the Green MP time of

81
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: the pool to zip it on that front, but she

82
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 2: doubled down in Parliament and.

83
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 6: Is held by a rural malty who have been surveiled

84
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 6: and tormented and prized and raided by the New Zealand

85
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 6: police force. It is held by people who grew up

86
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 6: in neglected and poverished communities who live under the constant

87
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 6: suspicion and surveillance of the New Zealand police. And it

88
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 6: is shared by women who go to the police with

89
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 6: complaints of domestic and sexual violence, who are not believed

90
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 6: and not taken seriously until it is too late. That

91
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 6: is not a minority, a group of people that as

92
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 6: a group of people I am proud to represent, and

93
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 6: I don't care if I'm the only person in this

94
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 6: house with the balls to represent those communities.

95
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 2: Interesting, but look on the crackdown on gangs, those little

96
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 2: puppies removing their patches in the face and the like

97
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 2: doesn't rest well with her either.

98
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 5: The intentional, relational, methodical work that the police were doing

99
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 5: in communities alongside gang leaders. They have decided to throw

100
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 5: that out and say to police officers, we're not going

101
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 5: to increase your pay, but we will make you be

102
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 5: at war with people within your communities.

103
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 2: Poor little puppies.

104
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: The greens where the girls have balls apparently, well.

105
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 2: Maybe she's non binary. I'm not sure.

106
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't think that gives you balls.

107
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 3: What it gives you these days.

108
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 2: Very good.
