1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: There may be something to the weeks of allegations we've

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: been hearing about the voter for orden Auckland. A judge

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: has avoided the results of the Puppatoy Toy subdivision in

4
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,239
Speaker 1: the Alltarta Puppatoy Toy Local Board elections. And this is

5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: after claims that seventy nine people didn't vote even though

6
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 1: votes were cast in their name. V Housier brought the

7
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: case into the former deputy chairman of that local boarding

8
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: with us high Ve.

9
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 2: More than Heather.

10
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: So is basically what's been going on here is somebody

11
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: or groups have been going around stealing voting papers from letterboxes.

12
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: You know, what we do know is that there was

13
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 2: groups of people who did the cast avert what showed

14
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 2: as voting in the system. There were also groups of

15
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 2: people who didn't was here voting. People met the effort

16
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 2: to go and cast a special vote, only to be

17
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: told that they had already had already voted.

18
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: Now we know of seventy nine. Is the suggestion that

19
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: it's bigger than that.

20
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I guess that the postal ballot voting system,

21
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: it will a bit how to to it's easy to

22
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 2: interfere with, but half accountability. So the numbers that we

23
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: were able to gather is a minimum, but we weren't

24
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: able to ring fence on maximum. So that really kind

25
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 2: of opened up Pendor's box, and as the judge described

26
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 2: it in the hearing, it was kind of like the

27
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 2: tip of the iceberg.

28
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, now, V, this this is a pretty good

29
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: argument for why we need to get rid of the

30
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: postal voting system, don't you think.

31
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, the postal ballot voting system had known risks, and

32
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: everyone knew of the risks in place with having a

33
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 2: postal ballot voting system. Unfortunately, in Papatito, the risks that

34
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 2: we all knew of came to fruition and so it

35
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: lit a bit unseiling. But I am feeling quite relieved

36
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: that the issues that were raised and experienced in the

37
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 2: community was brought to the forefront and the judge ultimately

38
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: made a ruling that I think put us in good

39
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: position to make some good changes about our electoral system

40
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: and needs to move away from the post developed vading system.

41
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: All right, V, thank you very much for your time. V.
