1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Jason wolves up political editors with me. Now, Hey, Jason, hey,

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: have are you going to trash me for twenty minutes

3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: after I've finished my cross with you today? Or is

4
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: that only a yesterday thing? Oh have you been? Have

5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: you been feeling sore about it? This whole saw? Thank

6
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: you very much. I'm not even finished with you. You

7
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: wait until six thirty when I'm going to rip into

8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: you again. I wait with baited breath, and I'm sure

9
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: you're gonna let me come back on to have my

10
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: right reply. Right, No, absolutely not. You didn't slot. You

11
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: get your slot at this time, and even then you

12
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: should be lucky that you've got it.

13
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 2: Jason Thanky, Hey, tell me what happened when she said

14
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 2: the word, because it sounded like it went completely silent.

15
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. The air from the room just evaporated,

16
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: because it is the first time that we've heard any

17
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: MP in the house say the word. And that's the

18
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: sea word, and you know the word that I'm talking about.

19
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: The air just evaporated from the room. And I was

20
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: up in the house watching everybody's kind of pulled back

21
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: a little bit because they couldn't believe that it happened.

22
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: That was apart from the act MP's that obviously knew

23
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: that it was going to go how it was going

24
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: to go down. And I was told by my colleagues

25
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: down here who were in the corridor of the Press

26
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,279
Speaker 1: Gallery offices, that you heard sort of the ripple throughout

27
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: the entire corridor of people that were watching on Parliament TV.

28
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 1: And it was almost like the air had been taken

29
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: away down here as well. But it was one heck

30
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: and sorry, one heck of an afternoon because it started

31
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: with jan Toinetti. For god knows what reason decided to

32
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 1: ask about that Andrea Vance Sunday Star Times piece over

33
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 1: the weekend, why I don't know, haven't listened to how

34
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: it went down in the House.

35
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 3: Does she agree with Andrea Vance who said about the

36
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 3: Equal Pay Amendment bill quote, it is a curious feminist moment,

37
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 3: isn't it. Six skill bosses, Willis who hyped squad, Judith Collins,

38
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 3: Eric Stanford, Louise Upston, Nichola Gregg and Brook van Velden

39
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 3: all united in a historic act of economic backhanding other women.

40
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: So when you hear it like that, it's very stark

41
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: and you're wondering why labors dredging this back up because

42
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: it's going to backfire on them, and oh boy did it.

43
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: After some back and forth that was about whether or

44
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: not Brooke was allowed to answer the part of the question,

45
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: she hit back with the speaker with this.

46
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 4: Mister speaker, I'm a strong woman and I can speak

47
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 4: for myself.

48
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: Absolutely, that's good. And you only get to do that

49
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: and so you can hear the applause in the background,

50
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: and you're not good for Brook. So after some more

51
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: back and forth she got the opportunity to respond, and

52
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: hear she did.

53
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 4: And I do not agree with the clearly gendered and

54
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 4: patronizing language that Andrea Vance used to reduce senior cabinet

55
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 4: ministers to girl busses, height squads, references to girl meth and.

56
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: Making sure I had the right clip there. That could

57
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: have been a disaster. But obviously, as I said, so fine,

58
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 1: it's fine nowadays if the media use that word, don't

59
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: you know what apparently it is. But after question time

60
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: here's what she told reporters.

61
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 4: We should not need to face myself genestic abuse. And

62
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 4: I've been standing up for myself and for other female

63
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 4: senior members of this cabinet.

64
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: Now despite all of this going on, the Labor leader

65
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: Chris Hopkins has still yet to weigh in on the

66
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: language used on that column and say anything negative about

67
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: it at all.

68
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 3: That I'm not going to criticize the editorial decisions of newspapers.

69
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 3: They often newspapers often publish things I disagree with, and

70
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 3: that's the nature of democracy. We live in a free country.

71
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 3: We live in a country of free speech.

72
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: So I think the Labor's absolutely butchered it today. I

73
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 1: can't believe how badly this is backfired on them. It's

74
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: right as a shocker. Hey, and what about the Greens.

75
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 3: What's your favorite thing in their absolutely nutty unicorn budget?

76
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: How much time do you have? Let me count the

77
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: reasons I reckon. The jet tax is thee The jet

78
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: tax is good, which is a five thousand tax. It's

79
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: five thousand per person tax here and then five thousand

80
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: per person when you leave as well. Listen, this is

81
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: not going to happen. Eighty eight billion dollars worth of

82
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: d taxes, as well as taking the government's debt fifty

83
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: three point eight percent of GDP currently around forty percent.

84
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: It's a lot of money. Now, I'll tell you what

85
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: my favorite thing about today was listening to the government

86
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: parties react to this, because they were clearly having quite

87
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Have listened to Seymour.

88
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 2: Look, this is just left wing trump Ism. It's South

89
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 2: Pacific populism, which says your problems are caused by this success.

90
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 2: We're going to pull them down in order to solve

91
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 2: your problems.

92
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: Chris Luxon wasn't very happy either. Oh, it's actually clown

93
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: show economics is what it is. I mean, it's an

94
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: absolute circus. And of course we had Winston Raymond Peters Well,

95
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: I got the manifesto by Clay Marx and Marama Ingles

96
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: and so at that point he pulled out a copy

97
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: of the Greens policy and on the front was replaced

98
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: with a big red page with a hammer and sickle

99
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: on the front of it. So he's had a fun

100
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: day as Winston.

101
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 3: Oh we all.

102
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: Hey, by the way, quickly, do you want to tell

103

Speaker 1: in my opinion, and I stand by it. Heather who's
