1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,680 Speaker 1: Jason Wool's political editors with us. Now, Hey, Jason, Hey, hmmm, 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 1: so it sounds very much like Jerry thinks this is 3 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: too harsh. 4 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 2: A it does sound like that, I mean, just to 5 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,960 Speaker 2: catch people up. It was quite an unusual situation in 6 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 2: the House today. It's quite unprecedent, unprecedented. The recommendation that 7 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 2: came from the Privileges Committee, as outlined by Jerry Brownly. 8 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,240 Speaker 3: These punishments recommended by the Committee are very severe and 9 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 3: are unprecedented in this Parliament as far as I'm aware, 10 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 3: since the House first met in eighteen fifty four, no 11 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 3: member who's been found guilty of contempt has been suspended 12 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 3: for more than three days. 13 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 2: Which is obviously quite a long time. And he goes 14 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 2: on to point out that a twenty one day suspension 15 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 2: for the co leaders was agreed to buy quite a 16 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 2: narrow margin within the Privileges Committee. Now, remember Tipati Marii 17 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,480 Speaker 2: were giving given an opportunity to speak at said committee. 18 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 2: They did not. They instead called it a quote silly 19 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 2: little committee and did not appear worried at all about 20 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 2: its determinations. Despite this, the committee extend did its deadline 21 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 2: for their determination, allowing Tea Party Mary the opportunity to 22 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 2: submit Tea Party Mary then again declined, and when the 23 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 2: recommendations were being considered, Tea Party Mary then leaked them 24 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 2: on Facebook along with a poll asking supporters how long 25 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 2: they think the committee was going to suspend them for. So, 26 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 2: in short, there was the opportunity for the party to respond, 27 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 2: but Brownlee is giving them yet another chance. 28 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 3: In particular, there's a long standing convention for speakers to 29 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 3: safeguard the fear treatment of the minority un teamed on 30 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 3: that convention by ensuring the House does not take a 31 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 3: decision next week without due consideration. 32 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 2: So therefore there's going to be a debate without a 33 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 2: time limit, when members who can speak for as long 34 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 2: as they like, can speak as many times as they 35 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 2: like on Tuesday. This is in budget week, by the way, 36 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 2: just letting you know. They can also try to pass 37 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 2: motions in a bid to challenge or change how long 38 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 2: the suspension is for, i e. If a member wanted to, 39 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 2: they could move that the suspension be but for four 40 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 2: days rather than twenty one as I understand it now. 41 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 2: Speaking to the ruling was Shane Jones, who I think 42 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 2: makes quite a good point here. 43 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 4: You are expecting a wide ranging debate potentially involving the 44 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 4: three people who did not turn up to the Privileges Committee, 45 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 4: but who may very very well be in the house. 46 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 2: You know. And he's bang on, I think Meanwhile, Ty 47 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 2: Party Marty have taken to the program the Hui, where 48 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 2: Debbie and Arawdi were both brought to tears when they 49 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 2: were discussing how this has affected them. 50 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 5: Country loves my aca, the world loves myka hm, but 51 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 5: that feels like they don't love me. 52 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 2: Then Araladi had a crack at Judith Collins. 53 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 5: For who to label us as nothing should have been 54 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 5: kind of terrorists in this place, you know, as the 55 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 5: unruly natives. And it's sich same rhetoric when we all 56 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 5: phetically being ourselves. 57 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 2: But at the end of it, it was Judith Collins 58 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 2: who had the final word when asked if the twenty 59 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 2: one day punishment was too long. 60 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sure they'll think of that next time that wished. 61 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 3: To behave like that. 62 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 2: And there we have it. 63 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 1: When he says that she's liken them to terrorists, what's 64 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: he referring to. 65 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 2: No idea, She's never done that to my knowledge. It 66 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 2: has never happened. I think he's putting words in her mouth. 67 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 2: That's just not something that the Attorney General would say. 68 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: Okay, And when he's angry with brooker'sy over the sea bomb. 69 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 2: He's not happy. 70 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 3: But this is one of the lowest I've ever seen. 71 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 3: When you go to that sort of tandem language, nothing 72 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 3: is beneath you after that, is it. 73 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 2: So we asked Broke about this today she said it 74 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 2: was rather odd. Now the Speaker has decided that he 75 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: was in fact wrong to allow the question yesterday, and 76 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: he was wrong to have and have not addressed the 77 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 2: use of the word in the house when it happened. 78 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 2: You all know the word that I'm referring to here, 79 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 2: And that's not the only walk back today. Have to 80 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 2: listen to what Chris Hopkins said just before going into 81 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 2: the house. 82 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 6: So, in so far is our quoting from a rather 83 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 6: controversial comment yesterday meant that the Labour Party was contributing 84 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 6: to the distractions around that. I think we will own 85 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 6: that it would have been better if we had quoted 86 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 6: from something else rather than from that particular column. 87 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 2: So essentially they were wrong to do that. But this 88 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 2: is what Chippy said yesterday. 89 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 5: It's Gini's primary Christian in the House today. 90 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 6: It's quoting directly from an article that was published in 91 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 6: the paper. 92 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 5: A widely criticized article. 93 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 6: People, we live in a country of free speek. 94 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 2: So something is obviously gotten to Chris Hopkins. 95 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: Well, the thing that's got to Chris Hopkins is that 96 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: are backfired. 97 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 2: Right, Yes, a big way, in a big way. 98 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: Hey, did you see I'm very excited to tell you 99 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: that there are going to be some people in the 100 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: budget lock up with us. 101 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 2: I knew you were going to bring this up as 102 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,119 Speaker 2: soon as I saw it today. 103 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: Did you think, oh, no, here they come, these economists. 104 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 2: No, I'm going to teach them how to read that budget. 105 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 2: It doesn't okay. You said on air the other day 106 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 2: you called said I had a ba or bugger all 107 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 2: or something like that.

My 111 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 2: argument was never that I was going to sit there 112 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 2: and say, oh, I know best, but rather than everybody else. 113 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 2: My argument was the first take on the numbers is 114 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 2: just a pure this is what it says in the budget, 115 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 2: and then we go to the CTU and then we 116 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 2: go to the Taxpayers Union for reaction. Afterwards, that was 117 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:14,239 Speaker 2: all I was saying. 118 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: Okay, thank you, Jason Heather three days running, Jason Wills, 119 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: Political Editor. 120 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 6: For more from Hither Duplessy Allen Drive, listen live to 121 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 6: news talks.
