1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,239
Speaker 1: It's happened again. Unfortunately, the Malori Party has hijacked parliament

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: once again with a hucker. It played out like this

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: or any kaipit who's their new MP, who's replacing the

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: late tash Taka Takatai. Tash Camp delivered her maiden speech

5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: because today's her first day in parliament obviously, and afterwards

6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: there was a song and the public gallery was involved,

7
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: and she stepped out of her seat into the aisle

8
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: onto the floor to receive the song. As soon as

9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: the song ended, someone and it sounded like it was

10
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: somebody up in the public gallery, started to hucker. She

11
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: started to hucker back. I think from news reports that

12
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: I've read that one of the other MP's Hanadraftzi might

13
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: be cluck also started to hucker. Jerry Brownlee, the Speaker,

14
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: said on no, not that, and he said that was

15
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: not the agreement that had been struck. But they didn't stop.

16
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,319
Speaker 1: They basically ignored him. He got to his feet, at

17
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: which point the house is usually supposed to stop everything

18
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: it's doing and go quiet to allow him to speak.

19
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: They just completely ignored him. He threw his hands in

20
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: the air. He then suspended the house walked off in

21
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: the camera feed cut. He's comeback subsequently very unhappy about it,

22
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: and I'm going to bring you up to speed and

23
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: all of that now. The thing is, though, before you

24
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: get angry about it, don't bother wasting energy on being

25
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: angry at the Maori Party for doing this, because that's

26
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: a kin to wasting energy on getting angry at an

27
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: alcoholic for getting drunk if you put beer in front

28
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: of them, or getting angry at a toddler for packing

29
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: a tantrum if they're tired. This is what the Maori

30
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: Party does, right. This is the stuff that they thrive on.

31
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: They thrive on performance, they thrive on sticking the middle

32
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: finger to authority. It's basically what they would call their

33
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: co pappa. I'm just surprised that Jerry Brownly got hoodwinked

34
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: so easily into making an agreement with them and thinking

35
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: this wouldn't happen, or maybe he didn't, or maybe someone

36
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: in Parliament didn't get hoodwinked, because it looks like someone

37
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: was prepared for this. As soon as that hucker started,

38
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: the Cameron never cut back to the Maori Party or

39
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: the gallery. It stayed on Jerry and as soon as

40
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,279
Speaker 1: he suspended Parliament. The feed cut. Now what that means

41
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: is you never really see the Maori Party doing the

42
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: hucker or anyone doing the huker. You can just kn't

43
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: of hear it in the background, but you can't see it.

44
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: That basically the Maori Party of the ability to do

45
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: what they did previously, strip the crisp professional parliamentary tvfe'ed,

46
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: put it on their social media and hope the thing

47
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: goes viral. It's not going to happen this time because

48
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: that footage is not there for them now. It is

49
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: not ideal obviously having Parliament's rules broken like this for

50
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: obvious reasons, but it is not unexpected. So I think

51
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: given all things, the best outcome may be the one

52
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: that was achieved today, which is just a blackout. For

53
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,839
