1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: Tried to tradement news. Yes, today you'll know this with

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: the death of Depati Marti, MP Tacker Titajh Camp and

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: now there will be a by election in her seat

4
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: of Thommachimikodo, which she won by just forty two votes

5
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: against Labor incumbent Penny Henade at the last election. Jason

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: Wall's our political editor, Jason, good morning.

7
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 2: Good morning.

8
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: So when is the by election likely to be held?

9
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 2: Do we know all these details? We don't actually know. Yes,

10
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 2: there was a couple of points yesterday where we tried

11
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: to get some information, but it was really just not

12
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: the time to be asking those questions yesterday. Technically it's

13
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 2: got to be the Governor General that well basically gives

14
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: it though the green light. We know that this will

15
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 2: happen because the seat is, as we know now vacance.

16
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:45,959
Speaker 2: That's the Tamaki Mikoto Auckland Marty seat up there. So

17
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 2: we're still waiting to get a few of those details

18
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 2: at this stage, but it won't be very long, I

19
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 2: would imagine.

20
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: Do you think Penny will run again? As he obviously

21
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't have said anything, but do you think he will?

22
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: I think he probably will. I think he's definitely the

23
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 2: front runner in that seat to only lose by forty

24
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 2: two votes, and you know there was some controversy behind

25
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: those votes, with the Manu Mara as well being in

26
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 2: the headlines not so long ago. So I would say

27
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 2: say that it's pretty I would say it's pretty likely

28
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: to almost certain that Pini Hennade would run in that

29
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: seat and would be likely to win. TEA Party MARTI

30
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: would need to find a new candidate, but it would

31
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 2: be hard to find somebody that would have better that

32
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 2: name recognition than Pennie Hennoe.

33
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: Unless John Tommerhead he runs himself.

34
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: I was just about to say there is one caveat

35
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 2: to that that Tamahay does decide to run, but you know,

36
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: he had a you know, he's a he's a controversial figure.

37
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: He is these days is more in the background, pulling

38
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: the strings of the parties in being in in the limelight.

39
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: But even then, you know, I think that Pini Henaday,

40
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 2: you know, he's he's he's been in the he's been

41
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: in the headlines. He's been a part of the Auckland

42
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: March be seen for a long time. He's very well known.

43
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: I think that he'd probably still have a very good

44
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: good chance in that case.

45
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,880
