1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: Barry sop our senior political correspondence with US Barry, Hello. 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:04,520 Speaker 2: Good afternoon, he's got somebody You got. 3 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,199 Speaker 1: An update on the Darling Tana inquiry. 4 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 2: Well, you know it's time there'd be an update, wouldn't 5 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,960 Speaker 2: you think it's been going on for well, in a 6 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 2: couple of weeks time, it will be four months. And 7 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,319 Speaker 2: the last bill that the tax bar was told it 8 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 2: would have to pay or they would have to pay 9 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 2: US forty three thousand dollars, so you can imagine it's 10 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 2: much more than that now. But the update is that 11 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 2: the bert inquiry, that's the barrister or the solicitor who 12 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 2: took up the inquiry on behalf of the Greens, that 13 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:39,919 Speaker 2: has now been complete and the parties that the Greens 14 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 2: and Darlene Tana actually have the report. Now they'll consider 15 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 2: it and then hopefully we'll hear something next week. Now 16 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,639 Speaker 2: it didn't come from the Greens. The Greens have been 17 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 2: like a brick wall on this thing. It was it's 18 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 2: been very difficult for them in terms of saying anything 19 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 2: about it. They Chloe Swa all bricks phones off the hawk. 20 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 2: But yes, that's the good authority I have is the 21 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,759 Speaker 2: report is complete and hopefully we'll hear something next week 22 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 2: as to what will now take place. 23 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: Okay, do you know for a fact it's coming out 24 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: next week? How long do they have to respond to it? 25 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 2: Well, how long is a piece of string? You know 26 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 2: that they've got the report, they've mucked around for four 27 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 2: months now. Obviously their enquirer has come to some sort 28 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 2: of conclusion. So both have been presented with that and 29 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 2: the next. 30 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: Week, well, next week anyway, next week would suit them, 31 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: wouldn't it because it's a recess week, that's right, So 32 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: very hard to be able to track these various MPs 33 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: down in the Drug party. 34 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I would expect. 35 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: It next Speaking of the Green Party, can Goldra's garment 36 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: if she has been convicted practice law? 37 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 2: Yes she can. She can apply in two years and 38 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,559 Speaker 2: it's really over to the law society to side whether 39 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 2: she's a thin and proper person to be practicing law. 40 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 2: It was interesting it today because you know, it had 41 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 2: been a journ the sentencing, and I think there was 42 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 2: an expectation that she might have been discharged without conviction 43 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 2: because she is a lawyer. But I think the judge 44 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 2: was very realistic. I mean, this wasn't just a one 45 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 2: off shoplifting. It was a spree, as the prosecution said. 46 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 2: So now in fact, she will spend the next two 47 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 2: years contemplating what her future is going to be. But 48 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 2: like you, I watched the interview that she gave to 49 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 2: TV and Z and I've got to say it was 50 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 2: a rambling sort of affair. It was a bizarre interview 51 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 2: where Garriman seemed to be talking about herself and the 52 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 2: third person. Have I listened to this bit? 53 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 3: It was bizarre behavior. That's what self sabotage looks like. 54 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 3: It's not like you want to get away with it. 55 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know what I took. It's not 56 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 3: like your going to get anything out of you know, 57 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 3: it is sabotage. But it's sabotage that hurts others in 58 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 3: my case, and you know, beyond the immediate victims being 59 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 3: the shop owners, it's hurting you know, a political party 60 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 3: that I cared deeply about, that I've been in for 61 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 3: years before I ever ran as a candidate, you know, 62 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 3: my parents. 63 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 2: And she also said in the interview that she shotlifted 64 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 2: because she wanted to get out of politics. I mean, 65 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 2: for goodness sake, Because she essentially said she knew should 66 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 2: be found out. Well, I would think for her knowledge, 67 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: there would be easier ways to get out of politics. 68 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 2: You're going into a shop for ext and nicking s. 69 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: For example. The first offense that we're aware of, being 70 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: the Creative Works in Wellington offense is eight days after 71 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: the general election. A general election she did not need 72 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: to stand in if she wanted to leave politics, right, yeah, 73 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: but holloway anyway, heyst I tell you, what, how are 74 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: you feeling about the Trump Biden debate? Are you fizzing 75 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: for it? Oh? 76 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 2: I'm totally fizzing for it. It'll be for the political 77 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 2: tragics like me. It'll be on at one o'clock on 78 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 2: CNN tomorrow afternoon. Now, I got a email from Donald 79 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 2: Trump himself today as he's he said he's upgrading upgrading 80 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 2: me to a diamond Trump status. He said, basically, you 81 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 2: know you are the most exclusive group. 82 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: And how much money are you giving him? Barry? 83 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 2: He said, there are currently zero members and I could 84 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 2: be the first and this diamond club for Donald Trump. 85 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 2: But look, this will be the first time that because 86 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 2: I covered the election the first. It's a shrewd man. 87 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 2: Old Donald Trump, no doubt about that, but four years 88 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 2: ago was the last time these men have shared a stage. 89 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 2: The debate was something of a yelling match. Most of 90 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 2: your listeners will remember this short exchange vote. In fact, 91 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 2: sure you, in fact let people know a senator question. 92 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 2: I'm not going to answer the question answer because the 93 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 2: question the question rational left. I'll tell you what they've 94 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 2: installed now and they did know that was the first debate. 95 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 2: The second debate back four years ago, they had dump 96 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 2: buttons or sorry, mute buttons, and they're going to have 97 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 2: those for this debate tomorrow, So you won't get that 98 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 2: over talking well, you know, to an extend it is, 99 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 2: but I'd actually like to hear what these guys have 100 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 2: got to say. I mean, Biden is now eighty one, 101 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 2: Donald Trump's seventy eight, two old codgers running for what 102 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 2: has always been said as the most powerful position in 103 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 2: the world. You just have to wonder what the world's 104 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 2: come to. 105 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: Too, right, Barry Sobah, Thank you, seeing your political correspondence. 106 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 2: For more from Hither Duplessy Allen Drive, listen live to 107 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 2: news talks it'd be from four pm weekdays, or follow 108 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 2: the podcast on iHeartRadio.
