1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:00,600 Speaker 1: Barry Soper. 2 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 2: Hello, good afternoon, Andrew Um. 3 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:13,399 Speaker 1: Please accept my ah uh you know adaham, I yeah, 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. You know what I means. 5 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:17,600 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. 6 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, well I well do. And certainly that's what Takout 7 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 2: Ferris said the dead of light night last night, when 8 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 2: the Privileges Committee basically said to him he had to 9 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 2: apologize for being in contempt of Parliament. Now you'll remember 10 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 2: he blatantly lied himself about whether he had called MP's 11 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 2: liars when he's giving a speech last September, and we 12 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,160 Speaker 2: played it yesterday. But he did, apparently last night say 13 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 2: in Mardi that he apologizes, and that was missed, of 14 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 2: course by many, and that infuriated New Zealand first Shane Jones, 15 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 2: who told Parliament was again contemptuous by delivering the apology 16 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: only in Maldi. Get a load of the Jones fury. 17 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 3: This member beats to a drum where he believes he's impervious, 18 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 3: he's beyond any of this criticism because he's blessed with 19 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 3: some pure non muggles. Mildi blood. Shame on you for 20 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 3: bringing your own people into disrepute. Shame on your leaders 21 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 3: for not insisting you show faka iti, you showed humility. 22 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 3: There is no honor in this arrogant No honor in 23 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 3: this childish, no honor in this contentious display of disregard 24 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 3: for what it means to be a parliamentarian. 25 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 2: You know. And Jones was furious, genuinely I think. I mean, 26 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 2: he's very theatrical in parliament. But just a few minutes ago, 27 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 2: Katuta Ferris, I should say Takuta Faris. I should get 28 00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 2: it right because I'll be told off about that. But 29 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 2: a few minutes ago he was on his feet in 30 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 2: the debating chamber. He said that apologizing and Maori means 31 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 2: much more to his people than it does in English. Now, 32 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 2: in fairness to him, we do have two official languages 33 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 2: in New Zealand. We have three. 34 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: Well, sign language, he could have done it, and if 35 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: he done it in sign language, I would have asked 36 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: for an English translation as well. You know, I just 37 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,239 Speaker 1: think that we've got three official languages. 38 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 2: And he knows, I know, he knows he is being arrogant. 39 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 2: He knows he was pushing the boundaries and there's nothing 40 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 2: that can be done about it. But it's the sheer 41 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 2: arrogance that will go with him through his parliament. 42 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: Can I to say to mister Ferris, It makes me 43 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 1: think that perhaps he went his sincere in your apology, 44 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 1: because you're actually being cantankerous and being obtuse. Yes, so 45 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 1: there we go, Kenneth Papermill. Where are we at? 46 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 2: Well? Interestingly this afternoon, now you know people had sort 47 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 2: of I think forgotten a bit about Pearl Kinleith. Two 48 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 2: hundred and thirty mill workers were about to lose their 49 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 2: jobs there next year the machine stopped working. I remember 50 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 2: covering disputes there in the early eighties when they went 51 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 2: on a three month strike. You probably don't. 52 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: Know, no, I remember well. 53 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 2: I remember Jiggs was a federational labor trouble. 54 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: Downmill, down mill, it really was. 55 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 2: And so and I've stopped in Penrose the recycling plant 56 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 2: that stopped in December. Two hundred and thirty workers will 57 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 2: lose their jobs next year. And so there seemed to 58 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 2: be some hope though for the Kinleith workers in Parliament 59 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 2: this afternoon, when Labour's Willie Jackson was asking the Employment 60 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 2: Minister Louise Upston to expand about what Winston Peters had 61 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 2: told workers last year. I listen and see what you think, 62 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 2: does she. 63 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 4: Agree with Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters who told workers 64 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 4: at the Kinleath mill last year that Kinleath Miller is 65 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 4: the lifeblood of the way Cuttle and that targeted government 66 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 4: intervention is sometimes necessary to ensure the survival of a 67 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 4: business and a community. It is so can the workers 68 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 4: of Kinleath Mill have confidence that their jobs and livelihoods 69 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 4: are secure? 70 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 5: Mister speaker, I always agree with the Deputy Prime Minister 71 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 5: and I know very well how important the Kinleath employment 72 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 5: is in that community. And that is why as a 73 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 5: government we are looking at options. 74 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 3: Ah. 75 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 2: Now that's fascinating, isn't it. 76 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: Well, why why are they looking at options? Look, it's 77 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: a private market, is it. They've got markets in China 78 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: they've collapsed. It's a private business. It's none of the 79 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 1: government's business. We're in a very fisty mood today, Andrew. 80 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: The thing is, you know, when you look at and 81 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: having covered that dispute, kinlead Tako is totally depend on 82 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: yes on that mill. 83 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 2: Although you could say that Matara down near where I 84 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 2: come from, they had a paper mill down there, They 85 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 2: had a freezing works down there. They were closed down. 86 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 2: The close the town hasn't closed down, but you know, Kinley, 87 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 2: that's fairly isolated, and I was talk so I don't 88 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 2: know what the government's going to do, but you know, 89 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 2: we wait and see you certainly that's the indication that 90 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 2: we got. 91 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: Well, I know that in the area now they're actually 92 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: shipping an unprocessed logs straight to make your port, and 93 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: Kui rail and is working along with the port to 94 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: make that easier so that we can actually have some 95 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: mills and have some more work in Tacoa. Nobody wants 96 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: Takaroa to die, but you can't artificially infleet an entire 97 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: sector that has collapsed. 98 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 2: Well, it sounds as though the government's about to do 99 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 2: something though. If you listen to Louise upstairs. 100 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: Okay, Barry, now, remember you're talking about Heather tomorrow and mccon. 101 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: Oh okay, because I'm getting texts the whole time from people, 102 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: go what's happening with Heather?
