1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 1: Let's check in with politics now. It is fourteen minutes 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: away from five news talks. He'd be very Soper, Senior 3 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: political correspondence with us in Wellington today. Get a berry, 4 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 1: a Ryan. 5 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 2: I thought i'd better come down to the capital to 6 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 2: see what the air was like following the non decision 7 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 2: on the fairies yesterday. And I'll tell you what, you 8 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 2: could cut the air with a knife. I think. I 9 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 2: don't think I've seen the challenge that this coalition has 10 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 2: faced as big as this one. They're all talking at 11 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 2: cross purposes. I mean Winston Peters, the new Minister of Rail, 12 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 2: he's been stressing the mess that privatization in the past 13 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 2: led New Zealand Rail. To David Seymour, he's been hailing 14 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 2: the partial privatization. He says up to forty nine percent 15 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 2: should be flogged off to private enterprise. You'll remember, of course, Ryan, 16 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 2: the name Ed Burkert, won't you. 17 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: He was the previous Minister of Railways. 18 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 2: Wasn't the minister? He was the owner of Wisconsin Rail 19 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 2: that came in and bought New Zealand Rail in nineteen 20 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 2: ninety three. 21 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: And oh come on, Barry, I was barely born at 22 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:11,639 Speaker 1: that point. 23 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 2: Exactly and then to know exactly. That's that's why I 24 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 2: knew it was a very unfair test. But look ed 25 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 2: burkertt that was the last time it was privatized. Was 26 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 2: brought back by the government because it was an absolute debarcle. 27 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 2: And really interestingly, if you see the exchanges between Winston 28 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 2: Peters and David Seymour at the moment he was being 29 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 2: interviewed today, Winston Peters was he said, you're talking to 30 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 2: the minister in charge, not the minister who was not 31 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 2: in charge. And he said of Seymour, he's wrong with 32 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 2: the figures he used, he's wrong on the question of 33 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 2: privatization and he's wrong on the question of what it's 34 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 2: going to cost. Now, the new Minister of Rail he 35 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 2: was caught, i've got to say, flat footed in Parliament 36 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 2: this afternoon when he was asked to respond to what 37 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 2: the Prime Minister had been telling the media and live 38 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 2: in today his Labour's TAGI utakri to Winston Peters in 39 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 2: the House this afternoon. 40 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 3: Is the Prime Minister correct when he said today? But 41 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 3: for right now we've got a good solution and if 42 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 3: we can improve on it, great and if not we 43 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 3: move forward with that solution. 44 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 4: If not, why not? 45 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 5: Well again, I have to confess that I did not 46 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 5: hear the Prime ministers say that, and until I do, 47 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 5: I will not confirm what I should make of it, 48 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 5: other than to say the Prime Minister is in the 49 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 5: best possible space at this point in time because he 50 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 5: has got the main solution, a united government that is 51 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 5: setting out to correct a grievous fiscal wrong. 52 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 3: Has Cabinet already confirmed a preferred replacement option for the 53 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 3: Cookstrait fairies? If so, what is it? 54 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 2: The answer that question is no, Yeah, I think they 55 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 2: were on the verge of announcing it yesterday. They had 56 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 2: a plan in place, and our old mate Winston came 57 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 2: and pulled the plug and said, look, I can get 58 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 2: a better deal than that. I can get a roll on, 59 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 2: roll off fairies for rail and that's what he's going after. 60 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 2: So i'll tell you what. This is going to be 61 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 2: the biggest test that Winston Peters has faced in this government. 62 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a lot of the balls and has court 63 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: really isn't it? The multi Party? What's going on here? 64 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: The Multi Party advocating against police action on the gangs. 65 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 2: But it's sort of their rais on detra defending gangs 66 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 2: at the moment that young woman who made the harker 67 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 2: it might be Clark. She was asking the Minister of 68 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 2: Police today if he accepted the findings of the New 69 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 2: Zealand Police that there was essentially structural racism in the force. Well. 70 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 2: Casey Costello was standing in for Mark Mitchell today and 71 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 2: she said that the rhetoric being used about the police 72 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 2: by the Maldi party when it comes to gangs is 73 00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 2: just unacceptable. 74 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 4: Here's Costello, and it is a disservice to them to 75 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 4: have a narrative that suggests our police are anything but 76 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 4: the consummate professionals. They are the fourteen percent of New 77 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 4: Zealand police that are themselves Mary. What is ignored in 78 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 4: this narrative is the sixty percent of victims who are 79 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 4: themselves Mary. Does he think that it is appropriate for 80 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 4: armed police to barricade the road and intimidate and harassed 81 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 4: Barno attending the tonguey of the loved one to enforce 82 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 4: the gang patch back. I think that is a very 83 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 4: wrong and flawed reflection of the response of police at 84 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 4: Marti Tungy. 85 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 2: So the old gangs have certainly got a voice in 86 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 2: Parliament at the moment. 87 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: Ryan, what about hairdresses? Some regulations is going to be 88 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: looking at at their operations. 89 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 2: What's that about, Well, you know it's the Minister of 90 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 2: Regulation of course, or removing it. David Seymour, he's on 91 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 2: the wall path now. He reckons that hairdressers are facing 92 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 2: unnecessary regulations. And I think you I wouldn't know this 93 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 2: because I don't go, but you would. You know. I'm 94 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 2: sure you've had a tipple tonsorial tipple in the in 95 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 2: the barbershop or the hairdresser, Ryan from time to time. Well, 96 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 2: that's against regulations. We're not allowed to be offered a 97 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 2: drink by a hairdresser. Also, dogs are prohibited other than 98 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 2: guy dogs. And so he's wanting to bring, he says, 99 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 2: hairdressing into the twenty first century, and he's going to 100 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 2: be removing regulations under a review that's expected to be 101 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 2: completed in the first quarter of next year. 102 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: Goodness, how did they used to cut hair back in 103 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 1: the day when you last went Berry? I can't remember, Ryan, 104 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: and Candasan's very quickly find and Candasan's coming here basically 105 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: because the Aussie is banned because they didn't like what 106 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: she said. And we banded it because they had banned her, 107 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: and now we've unbanded her. 108 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 2: You've absolutely got it in one. I just think New 109 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 2: z Yiland has shown that it can stand on its own. 110 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 2: If people don't like Candice Owns, don't go and listen 111 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 2: to her. But you know, the freedom of speech Union, 112 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 2: of course is hiling. This is a great success and 113 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 2: for the freedom of speech at most certain years. 114 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: Barrisopa, thank you very much.
