1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: The peran Aura performance the Seymour reaction ah both indicative.

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: I would have thought of all that is wrong with

3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: this country in terms of race relations. It is not

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: harmonious race relations. It is not well debated, it's not cordial.

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: It is not better than it has been. The PM

6
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: seems to get it. Seymour doesn't. There's no point in

7
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: heading north each year for goodness sake. You're simply treated

8
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: poorly by rude people this year and Seymour's speech, have

9
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: you missed it all? The mic was removed twice, the

10
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: backs were turned, the people tried to sing over the

11
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: top of them. It's the same old, same old. There's

12
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: always a grievance, there's always somebody to hate on. They

13
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: defend it by telling you how angry they are this

14
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: year it's the Principal's bill. But at no point does

15
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: anyone accept that just because you disagree doesn't mean you

16
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: have to be rude. Rudeness is not justified simply because

17
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: you are on the opposite side of the debate of

18
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: the page. It is why most of us have tuned

19
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: out of the National Day a long time ago. Then

20
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: the Rugby Union, the guardians of our national game the

21
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: Peranura scenario unfolded because we live in the country where

22
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: Mari issues are too often acquiesced to in an excessive manner.

23
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: Piranara is just a player, and a player and a team.

24
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: His race does not trump the and yet it's very clear,

25
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: as per the story on Wednesday, that he was allowed

26
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: to blackmail awoke collective into a sort of submission. The

27
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: Innzu was woke enamored by the modern day practices because

28
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: it's inept and has been for years. Organizations, groups and

29
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: businesses who are not sure of themselves sway in the

30
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,839
Speaker 1: wind and as such are captured by whatever's currently cool

31
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: marridam in public life or public service or the zeitgeist.

32
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: For a while got cool. Everyone had to say chia,

33
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: call it the motu token it up to look like

34
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: you were part of the gang. That tide has turned,

35
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: or if it's not turned, its turning. But because the

36
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: Nzar were submerged in it, the Peranara scenario was allowed

37
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: to unfold with all the indecision and panics so eloquently

38
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: recounted in the story. If you haven't read it, it's

39
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: as much about Peranara and as arrogance as it is

40
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: about governance and ineptitude, whether in White Hangey or in

41
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: this case, Turin. It is this sort of nonsense that

42
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: prevents progress and we are all paying the price. For

43
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: more from The Mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to news

44
