1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: And Barry So for senior political correspondence.

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 2: Here High Barry, Good afternoon, Hea.

3
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: It's quite noisy in the debating chamber, was it well?

4
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 2: I think we can expect a lot more of this

5
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 2: this year, being election year. And it was a point

6
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 2: that was made as you'll hear from the audio by

7
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 2: Jerry Brownly at the end. But the economy and the

8
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 2: cost of living is locked in to being the whip

9
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 2: that labor uses to lash the government with. But the

10
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: Prime Minister was having none of it. Today. Here are

11
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 2: the two chrises going for it this afternoon.

12
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 3: The economic vandalism of the last mob who didn't understand

13
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 3: the economy at all. You ran this country into it

14
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 3: whole economically. You've got no economic credibility. Look at that

15
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 3: front bench. I wouldn't employ any of them in a

16
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 3: lower middle management job.

17
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 4: If he didn't intend to lower grocery prices when he

18
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 4: became Prime minister, Why did both he and Nikola Willis

19
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 4: advertise across the country that they intended to lower grocery

20
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 4: prices for New Zealanders.

21
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 3: I don't know why you bother coming to this house

22
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 3: every day to ask me questions on the economy. You

23
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 3: are the guy that took the keys to the car.

24
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 3: You crashed it in an almighty ditch. You're stuff the

25
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 3: economy and we're fixing it up.

26
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 5: We've had a perfect demonstration for anyone watching this stuff

27
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 5: to know that it is election here and tensions and

28
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 5: arguments tend to heighten, but behavior should not sterear out.

29
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: Well, I think he's wishing from the Prime minister.

30
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: Yes, well, yes, he's certainly fired up. And because certainly

31
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 2: Chris Hopkins has been banging on about there's the cost

32
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 2: of living, the cost of groceries, and you know it'll

33
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 2: run out of steam, there's no doubt about it. But

34
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: obviously it's fueling the Prime minister.

35
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, good, okay, Well listen, I'm fascinated by this. Is

36
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: this referendum that New Zealand first ones a binding referendum.

37
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: It's a binding referendum. They've got a bill ready to go.

38
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: So Winston is saying there's no point in waiting for this.

39
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: You know, the party's a big parties. He clearly wants

40
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: their support. Unfortunately for Winston, this will go into the

41
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: biscuit and it may well be drawn before the election.

42
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 2: But the difficulty is going to get to get them

43
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: on board. It penalizes Labor getting rid of the Malory

44
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: seats because traditionally they've always gone to Labor. They're not

45
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: there at the moment, but they've always been a sure

46
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: six or seven seats to the Labor Party.

47
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: It still comes out of their list position.

48
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: Well, yes it does, but it's a constituency position, so

49
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 2: it's and there's still you know, there's list votes there

50
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: as well, so you know, I think the disadvantage to

51
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 2: Labor is greater than it is to National. But Winston

52
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: Peters was on his feet in Parliament this afternoon decrying

53
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 2: the Malori seat, surging his colleagues to show courage and

54
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 2: vote with his bill and test the public on the

55
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: topic later this year.

56
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 6: They want a separate parliament, separate laws, separate land. They

57
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 6: hold the majority of the Mara seats and do not

58
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 6: turn up to Parliament, disregard the rules and processes, and

59
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 6: show understand for the system that gives them the seats

60
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 6: they hold. They represent no one. They have proven the

61
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 6: seats they hold are no longer relevant nor serve their

62
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 6: original purpose. With the current Mari seat holders showing how

63
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 6: much of a mess they are in. It's proven that

64
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 6: the time has come for the public to decide if

65
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 6: they are effected development and if they are needed. Fact

66
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 6: as we currently have a record number of Mari in

67
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 6: Parliament and in cabinet, and here comes this new breed

68
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 6: know nothing about the Maray world. They are not for

69
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 6: the Mara people. They are not for the people of

70
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 6: this country. They are for separadism and division, and they

71
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 6: stream racism. They scream racism. It is their oh, just

72
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 6: to make sure that's not glad enough. They're communists as well,

73
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 6: thank you very much.

74
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: So sort of digging the old sword in and then

75
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: twisting it at the end. There but one person who

76
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 2: was there today from the Maldi party was the co

77
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: leader Rivalry Waiter Team, who was rather confident about the

78
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 2: role his party will have after this year's election in November.

79
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 7: The Maori seats are in one of the most powerful

80
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 7: positions it has ever been. It has ever been, and

81
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 7: that frightens people like Winston Peters in New Zealand. Fish

82
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 7: Mary stured so fast in the last five years to

83
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 7: give the power that they had and to realize the

84
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 7: power that we have in regards to determining who the

85
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 7: next prime ministers come November. The seventh. That's just the reality.

86
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 7: So my fingure is to this house national rule it out,

87
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 7: labor rule it out, and let's get this rubbish out

88
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 7: of this house and ensure that the rights of Dewey,

89
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 7: Mary under tutility away Tony are in trench.

90
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 2: Well, I think you know he's probably done the case

91
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 2: or strengthened the case for getting rid of the Mari seats.

92
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 2: I mean, you'll have to look at their party at

93
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 2: the moment to see how ineffective it has been.

94
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: Totally agree with you, all right, official cash right of

95
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: state where it is.

96
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 2: Yes, it's interesting, isn't it. Two point twenty five percent?

97
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: You know the inflation rate is now what the last

98
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 2: figure was three point one percent. Now, that's just outside

99
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: the Reserve Bank's margin the target that they aim for.

100
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 2: And the new governor says that she will be laser

101
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: focused on inflation. So that's why they've left it where

102
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 2: it is to see what happens. But they are expecting

103
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 2: things to get better, which is positive. And I know

104
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: you're talking to her shortly that you know she's done.

105
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 2: I think the right thing today.

106
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: Brilliant Barry, Thanks very much, appreciate it. It's very sober
