1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: Cam Satter say what you like about him. He can

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: certainly write. His head is ups and downs. He's paid

3
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: for some bad behavior, but he has good flow in

4
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 1: his writing. He always had a good contact book. But

5
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: whether those contacts still talk to him as anybody's guess.

6
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: But anyway, he's now renamed Whale Oil to a website

7
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 1: called good Oil, and yesterday he wrote a think piece

8
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: called the coming National Coup. He reckons Christopher Luckson's continued

9
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: bad numbers means the National Party is now seriously talking

10
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: about replacing him as leader. Even cams and on game

11
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: these days, he claims sources inside caucus say that Luxon

12
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: has three months to turn around his numbers. He claims

13
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: that women don't like Luxon, people who believe in anything

14
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: don't like Christopher because nobody knows what he believes. Kam

15
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: Satter says his coalition partners know what they believe, and

16
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: he says the free marketeers can go with Act, the

17
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: Nationalists can go with New Zealand first, so who's going

18
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: to go with Christopher? He says the opposition can smell blood,

19
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: and then he lumps the media into the opposition camp,

20
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,639
Speaker 1: even though of course he is acting like an opposition

21
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: right now with this opinion, but slowly Christopher Luxon seems

22
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: to be losing the support of the center right according

23
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: to cam Slater, not that he had much in the

24
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: first place. To be fair, he was never given a

25
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: honeymoon period. I think the electric could see that he

26
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 1: had a very performative nature in his politics. But these

27
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: are easy editorials to write, and everyone can point out

28
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: the flaws and the problems with anything. Only the truly

29
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: talented can provide a solution. So if the problem as

30
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: Christopher Luxen, what is the answer? Is it Willis? Is

31
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 1: it Bishop? Is it Stamford or is it Simeon? There

32
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: the next four on the list. You want to go deeper?

33
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: Would Mitchell, Goldsmith or Collins be any better than Christopher Luxon?

34
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: Fkam is correct and a coup is coming inside the

35
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: next three months? Could that be National shooting itself in

36
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: the foot? Well, of course it is. Did they learn

37
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: nothing from all the long years in opposition where they

38
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: chopped and changed their leader without going forward in any way,

39
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: shape or form. For more from early edition with Ryan Bridge,
