And also we want to have a 47 00:02:11,373 --> 00:02:14,253 Speaker 2: chat to you about group travel. So it's on the 48 00:02:14,253 --> 00:02:16,573 Speaker 2: back of an article in the New Zealand Herald. The 49 00:02:16,613 --> 00:02:19,613 Speaker 2: writer's name is En Peckham. He has been a solo 50 00:02:19,893 --> 00:02:22,973 Speaker 2: traveler for most of his life, but he decided to 51 00:02:23,013 --> 00:02:26,013 Speaker 2: give group traveler try. Absolutely loved it. 52 00:02:26,213 --> 00:02:30,053 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, and you can do it at any age, 53 00:02:30,133 --> 00:02:33,933 Speaker 3: can't you. Becas there's the Kontickie tour approach to group travel. 54 00:02:34,013 --> 00:02:35,773 Speaker 3: You'll get on a bus with a bunch of people 55 00:02:35,813 --> 00:02:37,813 Speaker 3: and get absolutely steamed up and down. 56 00:02:37,653 --> 00:02:39,573 Speaker 2: Europe yep or times. 57 00:02:39,853 --> 00:02:42,893 Speaker 3: Or you can go on a group trip with a 58 00:02:42,933 --> 00:02:45,613 Speaker 3: bunch of middle aged people and make some new friends 59 00:02:45,853 --> 00:02:48,813 Speaker 3: and see some cathedrals in Europe or wherever you want 60 00:02:48,853 --> 00:02:49,053 Speaker 3: to go. 61 00:02:49,173 --> 00:02:51,013 Speaker 2: Yeah, and gets steamed as well, if that's your thing. 62 00:02:51,093 --> 00:02:54,813 Speaker 2: But that is after three o'clock point. Yeah, after two o'clock. 63 00:02:55,573 --> 00:02:58,972 Speaker 2: Nat Napier decided to retain their three a m. Bar 64 00:02:59,173 --> 00:03:02,852 Speaker 2: closing times. The council we're looking to try and close 65 00:03:02,893 --> 00:03:06,933 Speaker 2: bars an hour earlier, but it's comments from a particular counselor. 66 00:03:07,093 --> 00:03:08,013 Speaker 2: We want to. 67 00:03:09,053 --> 00:03:12,933 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, because I feel like his attitude was 68 00:03:13,053 --> 00:03:15,333 Speaker 3: one that was closer to the way most people feel 69 00:03:15,413 --> 00:03:17,732 Speaker 3: in New Zealand. I think there's a lot of skeiedy 70 00:03:17,773 --> 00:03:21,532 Speaker 3: cats going around that. You know, you can always describe 71 00:03:21,532 --> 00:03:24,333 Speaker 3: problems and use those to shut down fun and freedom, 72 00:03:24,933 --> 00:03:26,853 Speaker 3: but that doesn't always make you the good guy. Just 73 00:03:26,893 --> 00:03:29,693 Speaker 3: watch the movie Footlots, for example, if you want a 74 00:03:29,733 --> 00:03:32,653 Speaker 3: great movie. Kevin Bacon version and the remake wasn't actually 75 00:03:32,693 --> 00:03:36,133 Speaker 3: too bad either. But as he said, there is only 76 00:03:36,133 --> 00:03:38,253 Speaker 3: one place in Napier open until three a m. And 77 00:03:38,253 --> 00:03:40,373 Speaker 3: it offers a point of difference. You can actually go 78 00:03:40,413 --> 00:03:43,453 Speaker 3: and dance. Not my thing, but plenty of people it 79 00:03:43,573 --> 00:03:46,613 Speaker 3: is for them. And perhaps if we go far back 80 00:03:46,693 --> 00:03:49,053 Speaker 3: enough around this table talking to other council members, he 81 00:03:49,253 --> 00:03:52,013 Speaker 3: was for some dancing was a big thing. I'm not 82 00:03:52,053 --> 00:03:54,533 Speaker 3: prepared to take that away from our community. You're growing 83 00:03:54,613 --> 00:03:56,973 Speaker 3: up and doing their thing and learning about the world. 84 00:03:57,173 --> 00:03:58,973 Speaker 3: How are they going to learn about the world sitting 85 00:03:59,013 --> 00:04:02,613 Speaker 3: at home playing PlayStation and flicking through their phones. So 86 00:04:03,293 --> 00:04:06,093 Speaker 3: I was just thinking about the moral aspect of that, 87 00:04:06,173 --> 00:04:08,253 Speaker 3: because we always take the moral high ground, is always 88 00:04:08,333 --> 00:04:11,973 Speaker 3: taken by the people that want to restrict hospitality. They 89 00:04:11,973 --> 00:04:14,973 Speaker 3: wanted strict options for young people going out, but there's 90 00:04:14,973 --> 00:04:17,773 Speaker 3: an argument that they aren't the moral good guys. And 91 00:04:17,893 --> 00:04:20,213 Speaker 3: actually we owe it to the young people of our 92 00:04:20,253 --> 00:04:23,013 Speaker 3: country to give them options to celebrate and go out 93 00:04:23,053 --> 00:04:25,133 Speaker 3: and be young. And especially if you're in a small town, 94 00:04:25,253 --> 00:04:27,733 Speaker 3: if you don't give those options, they will leave that town. Yeah, 95 00:04:27,733 --> 00:04:29,853 Speaker 3: you're killing the small down, you're trying to say, And 96 00:04:29,893 --> 00:04:32,493 Speaker 3: you're damaging a hospital which hires a bunch of people 97 00:04:32,813 --> 00:04:35,693 Speaker 3: and builds a lot of stuff in communities. So is 98 00:04:35,693 --> 00:04:37,773 Speaker 3: it time to just start going No, you aren't the 99 00:04:37,813 --> 00:04:40,333 Speaker 3: good guys. You people that are trying to shut things 100 00:04:40,333 --> 00:04:42,533 Speaker 3: down all the time and just describe the potential problems, 101 00:04:42,533 --> 00:04:45,293 Speaker 3: because anyone can come come up with a list of problems. 102 00:04:45,573 --> 00:04:47,093 Speaker 3: You guys aren't actually the good guys. 103 00:04:47,133 --> 00:04:49,733 Speaker 2: Time to shame those people. Shame maybe even a cheeky 104 00:04:49,773 --> 00:04:53,013 Speaker 2: taser game. That's a shame. Shame that is after two o'clock. 105 00:04:53,053 --> 00:04:55,493 Speaker 2: Cause right now it's a chat about Princess Diana. A 106 00:04:55,573 --> 00:04:58,653 Speaker 2: new book is on sale in the UK as we speak, 107 00:04:58,653 --> 00:05:01,373 Speaker 2: and we'll be hitting here very soon as well. It's 108 00:05:01,453 --> 00:05:04,973 Speaker 2: called Diana World An Obsession. It's written by Edward White, 109 00:05:05,133 --> 00:05:09,693 Speaker 2: and it explores Diana's lasting cultural impact populist influence. 110 00:05:10,173 --> 00:05:12,573 Speaker 3: Yeah, and what I found interesting I haven't read the book, 111 00:05:12,613 --> 00:05:14,933 Speaker 3: but I've read a couple of articles on the book 112 00:05:15,013 --> 00:05:17,773 Speaker 3: and a couple of quotes from the book. And you know, 113 00:05:17,813 --> 00:05:20,933 Speaker 3: we all know that Diana was a lovely person, etcetera, etcetera. 114 00:05:21,053 --> 00:05:22,733 Speaker 3: But we've all been taught that she was, you know, 115 00:05:22,813 --> 00:05:26,653 Speaker 3: the princess of hearts, the people's princess, and everything she 116 00:05:26,693 --> 00:05:30,213 Speaker 3: did was fantastic. But maybe her lasting legacy isn't as 117 00:05:30,253 --> 00:05:33,733 Speaker 3: great as you might think. As it says in this book, 118 00:05:34,293 --> 00:05:37,693 Speaker 3: her rebellion and vulnerability helped transform the monarchy and sparked 119 00:05:37,733 --> 00:05:40,453 Speaker 3: a wave of emotional populism that persists to the day. 120 00:05:40,813 --> 00:05:45,093 Speaker 3: Diana's openness and empathy changed the public and political discourse 121 00:05:45,533 --> 00:05:49,373 Speaker 3: in the UK, which then transported itself across the world 122 00:05:49,453 --> 00:05:54,453 Speaker 3: emotional transparency and altered expectations of what politicians did she 123 00:05:54,613 --> 00:05:59,453 Speaker 3: in public? Did she just bring on a bunch of 124 00:06:01,173 --> 00:06:05,133 Speaker 3: whinging and whining and overly emotional public figures? Do we 125 00:06:05,253 --> 00:06:08,293 Speaker 3: need to know public figures feelings? Did Diana just make 126 00:06:08,413 --> 00:06:08,893 Speaker 3: things worse? 127 00:06:09,413 --> 00:06:09,613 Speaker 5: Now? 128 00:06:09,693 --> 00:06:12,453 Speaker 3: All we do is here about politicians feelings, and it 129 00:06:12,613 --> 00:06:15,613 Speaker 3: used to be that you were you stood in public 130 00:06:15,693 --> 00:06:19,293 Speaker 3: and you stood steadfast, and you were strong and you 131 00:06:19,333 --> 00:06:21,373 Speaker 3: were powerful and you led the country and how you 132 00:06:21,413 --> 00:06:24,293 Speaker 3: were feeling was was irrelevant until you wrote your punishing 133 00:06:24,293 --> 00:06:25,333 Speaker 3: book after you retire. 134 00:06:25,493 --> 00:06:26,173 Speaker 2: Yeah. 135 00:06:26,253 --> 00:06:30,773 Speaker 3: So as she actually had a negative impact on the discourse. 136 00:06:30,973 --> 00:06:33,293 Speaker 3: And look, I'm looking forward to people really having a 137 00:06:33,373 --> 00:06:36,093 Speaker 3: go about me, at me about this because people love 138 00:06:36,173 --> 00:06:38,093 Speaker 3: Lady Diana and they don't like to hear anything negative 139 00:06:38,093 --> 00:06:38,413 Speaker 3: about it. 140 00:06:38,413 --> 00:06:41,013 Speaker 2: And people, as Princess says, she was called in the UK. 141 00:06:41,053 --> 00:06:44,973 Speaker 3: But she was a very emotional person, especially if you 142 00:06:45,053 --> 00:06:48,493 Speaker 3: compare her to say the Queen, Yes, who I've got 143 00:06:48,533 --> 00:06:51,173 Speaker 3: a lot of a lot of time for you know, 144 00:06:51,253 --> 00:06:56,733 Speaker 3: the Queen Queen Elizabeth viewed services solemn lifelong promise. She 145 00:06:56,813 --> 00:07:00,173 Speaker 3: did not chase popularity or emotional connection, but she focused 146 00:07:00,213 --> 00:07:04,413 Speaker 3: on being a constant, a symbol of stability, tradition and trust. 147 00:07:05,093 --> 00:07:08,133 Speaker 3: Her leadership wasn't emotional because she was in charge a 148 00:07:08,133 --> 00:07:10,133 Speaker 3: lot of people and she knew that being that stable 149 00:07:10,173 --> 00:07:14,293 Speaker 3: thing was an important thing for people to know that 150 00:07:14,293 --> 00:07:17,693 Speaker 3: there was there was something solid there. Whereas Diana all 151 00:07:17,733 --> 00:07:21,173 Speaker 3: over the body shop. Now you know, now whenever anything 152 00:07:21,213 --> 00:07:26,333 Speaker 3: happens to a politician, we we we hear how they feel. 153 00:07:26,373 --> 00:07:29,813 Speaker 3: And I know Diana wasn't a politician, but this what 154 00:07:29,893 --> 00:07:32,173 Speaker 3: I'm reading here argues that that did have an effect 155 00:07:32,213 --> 00:07:35,573 Speaker 3: on politics, and she did have a have a deal 156 00:07:35,613 --> 00:07:39,133 Speaker 3: with Tony Blair and to help get his agenda across 157 00:07:39,133 --> 00:07:42,933 Speaker 3: when Tony Blair took over, and to move away from 158 00:07:43,093 --> 00:07:45,973 Speaker 3: what she saw as the lack of empathy of the 159 00:07:46,373 --> 00:07:49,653 Speaker 3: Thatcher Right era. So she wasn't completely out of politics. 160 00:07:49,693 --> 00:07:51,973 Speaker 3: And also, if you are in the royal family in 161 00:07:52,413 --> 00:07:55,013 Speaker 3: the UK and across the Comwealth, you are you are 162 00:07:55,373 --> 00:08:00,253 Speaker 3: a politician of thoughts, of sorts. But yeah, this book 163 00:08:00,573 --> 00:08:05,813 Speaker 3: suggests that she changed the way all politicians behaved in 164 00:08:05,813 --> 00:08:06,733 Speaker 3: the Western world. 165 00:08:06,533 --> 00:08:08,213 Speaker 2: And was that a good thing? I mean, just on 166 00:08:08,453 --> 00:08:12,933 Speaker 2: the public mourning and the emotional outpouring on her death. Famously, 167 00:08:13,253 --> 00:08:15,533 Speaker 2: that was a very challenging time for Queen Elizabeth. That 168 00:08:15,613 --> 00:08:18,893 Speaker 2: as you said, Queen Elizabeth was always your staunch and 169 00:08:18,933 --> 00:08:21,573 Speaker 2: you grieve in private. That is what we do as 170 00:08:21,653 --> 00:08:24,573 Speaker 2: British citizens and what you should do as a leader. 171 00:08:24,613 --> 00:08:27,213 Speaker 2: And she had to come to terms with trying to 172 00:08:27,373 --> 00:08:31,253 Speaker 2: figure out how to publicly mourn the death of Diana 173 00:08:31,373 --> 00:08:34,413 Speaker 2: and came under immense controversy and stress for letters. 174 00:08:34,413 --> 00:08:34,653 Speaker 5: Again. 175 00:08:34,693 --> 00:08:39,213 Speaker 3: Yeah, unfairly, yeah, unfairly because you know, when she was 176 00:08:39,813 --> 00:08:42,093 Speaker 3: this is what she said when she was twenty one 177 00:08:42,173 --> 00:08:45,533 Speaker 3: years old, the Queen, I declare before you She wouldn't 178 00:08:45,533 --> 00:08:46,093 Speaker 3: have been talking there. 179 00:08:46,213 --> 00:08:47,653 Speaker 2: It was pretty good. Actually, that was a good start. 180 00:08:47,732 --> 00:08:51,853 Speaker 3: Well that was her old queen voice. I declare before 181 00:08:51,852 --> 00:08:54,612 Speaker 3: you all that my whole life, whether it be long 182 00:08:54,732 --> 00:08:57,413 Speaker 3: or short, shall be devoted to your service and the 183 00:08:57,413 --> 00:09:01,093 Speaker 3: service of our great family to which we all belong, 184 00:09:01,573 --> 00:09:03,652 Speaker 3: the family of the Commonwealth. 185 00:09:04,293 --> 00:09:04,693 Speaker 2: Very good. 186 00:09:04,813 --> 00:09:09,853 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so you know, and she kept true to that, 187 00:09:09,892 --> 00:09:10,413 Speaker 3: didn't she. 188 00:09:10,413 --> 00:09:10,732 Speaker 4: She did. 189 00:09:10,892 --> 00:09:13,813 Speaker 3: Then Diana came in and look, let's we have to 190 00:09:13,813 --> 00:09:16,173 Speaker 3: admit that Charlie was a little bit. It was a 191 00:09:16,173 --> 00:09:19,012 Speaker 3: tough dog to keep on the porch. And his eyes 192 00:09:19,012 --> 00:09:21,973 Speaker 3: were her eyes, his eyes were family on Kimala and 193 00:09:21,973 --> 00:09:23,892 Speaker 3: that kind of been easy for her. And she can 194 00:09:23,933 --> 00:09:26,173 Speaker 3: still be a fantastic person, and Diana and we can, 195 00:09:26,333 --> 00:09:28,852 Speaker 3: we can love a lot about her, but that overly 196 00:09:28,892 --> 00:09:31,773 Speaker 3: emotional approach to public life. I don't know if I 197 00:09:31,892 --> 00:09:34,613 Speaker 3: like it. I just watched a video with Meghan talking 198 00:09:34,612 --> 00:09:40,053 Speaker 3: about her life and it made me want to vomit. Yeah, 199 00:09:39,693 --> 00:09:44,293 Speaker 3: and boy, Meghan pro Diana would never not that she 200 00:09:44,333 --> 00:09:47,013 Speaker 3: gets away with that, but I think it's led to 201 00:09:47,053 --> 00:09:50,333 Speaker 3: the kind of horrible emotional hemophiliacs you get like Meghan 202 00:09:50,333 --> 00:09:50,773 Speaker 3: and Harry. 203 00:09:50,852 --> 00:09:51,012 Speaker 6: Well. 204 00:09:51,012 --> 00:09:53,293 Speaker 2: Perhaps maybe it was because it was the first time 205 00:09:53,813 --> 00:09:57,693 Speaker 2: someone in Diana's position did something like that, tried to 206 00:09:57,773 --> 00:10:00,933 Speaker 2: lead with just say empathy or the bleeding heart, whatever 207 00:10:00,933 --> 00:10:02,813 Speaker 2: you want to call it. But a lot of people 208 00:10:02,852 --> 00:10:05,612 Speaker 2: looked at that and see it authentic. Nowadays, I mean, 209 00:10:05,693 --> 00:10:08,772 Speaker 2: Meghan Markle is the opposite of authentic. But when people 210 00:10:08,813 --> 00:10:12,533 Speaker 2: try and undertake that stuff, I think it's seen as 211 00:10:12,653 --> 00:10:14,813 Speaker 2: a little bit fake, a little bit flimsy, a little 212 00:10:14,813 --> 00:10:15,892 Speaker 2: bit non authentic. 213 00:10:16,173 --> 00:10:19,293 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but what about this from the Queen from 214 00:10:19,333 --> 00:10:22,052 Speaker 3: nineteen fifty three, Throughout all my life and with all 215 00:10:22,093 --> 00:10:24,333 Speaker 3: my heart, I shall strive to be worthy of your 216 00:10:24,372 --> 00:10:25,292 Speaker 3: trust you. 217 00:10:25,413 --> 00:10:26,293 Speaker 2: That's a beautiful quote. 218 00:10:26,372 --> 00:10:28,093 Speaker 3: That's what she did. She inmboted that no one knew 219 00:10:28,132 --> 00:10:29,533 Speaker 3: what was going on in her heart and all the 220 00:10:29,533 --> 00:10:32,412 Speaker 3: problems she had with Philip and her family and stuff, 221 00:10:32,413 --> 00:10:34,493 Speaker 3: because that wasn't that wasn't for the public to know. 222 00:10:35,293 --> 00:10:37,892 Speaker 2: Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call. 223 00:10:37,933 --> 00:10:41,053 Speaker 2: How do you feel about Diana's legacy and the way 224 00:10:41,293 --> 00:10:47,333 Speaker 2: that she conducted herself with empathy, worth emotion? Was that 225 00:10:48,012 --> 00:10:49,412 Speaker 2: in the end of bit of a disservice to the 226 00:10:49,453 --> 00:10:52,732 Speaker 2: royal family and perhaps how leaders conduct themselves. Now keen 227 00:10:52,773 --> 00:10:54,373 Speaker 2: to hear from you on this one Oh eight hundred 228 00:10:54,492 --> 00:10:56,333 Speaker 2: eighty ten eighty is the number to call. It is 229 00:10:56,492 --> 00:10:57,733 Speaker 2: sixteen past one. 230 00:10:58,252 --> 00:11:02,533 Speaker 3: How dare you speak il of Diana? I will find 231 00:11:02,573 --> 00:11:05,053 Speaker 3: you stop, says this texture of nineteen nineteen. 232 00:11:05,173 --> 00:11:06,132 Speaker 2: I told you you're a brave man. 233 00:11:06,213 --> 00:11:07,733 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I'll tell you what. We're not going to 234 00:11:07,732 --> 00:11:08,893 Speaker 3: stop into it? 235 00:11:08,933 --> 00:11:09,732 Speaker 4: Can I stop us? 236 00:11:11,693 --> 00:11:15,172 Speaker 1: The big stories, the big issues, the big trends and 237 00:11:15,413 --> 00:11:19,812 Speaker 1: everything in between. Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons used talks. 238 00:11:19,533 --> 00:11:23,853 Speaker 2: That'd be good afternoon. We're discussing the legacy of Princess 239 00:11:23,892 --> 00:11:26,492 Speaker 2: Diana on the back of a new book that is 240 00:11:26,653 --> 00:11:28,973 Speaker 2: in bookstores in the UK as we speak. It's called 241 00:11:28,973 --> 00:11:32,533 Speaker 2: Diana World An Obsession, and it explores Diana's lasting cultural 242 00:11:32,573 --> 00:11:36,652 Speaker 2: impact and populist influence. The book argues that her legacy 243 00:11:36,693 --> 00:11:40,653 Speaker 2: includes a more open monarchy and a lasting strain of 244 00:11:40,693 --> 00:11:42,693 Speaker 2: populism in Britain. 245 00:11:43,252 --> 00:11:46,252 Speaker 3: Well, as I was going to say, As as Diana 246 00:11:46,293 --> 00:11:49,933 Speaker 3: famously said in that interview with Michael Martin Bischer, which 247 00:11:49,973 --> 00:11:52,172 Speaker 3: has obviously been controversial because it turns out that he 248 00:11:52,213 --> 00:11:55,013 Speaker 3: faked the divorce papers to get her into it. Martin 249 00:11:55,053 --> 00:11:58,173 Speaker 3: Vasher is a terrible human bank. But as she said, Diana, 250 00:11:58,732 --> 00:12:01,213 Speaker 3: I lead from the heart, not the head, and that's 251 00:12:01,213 --> 00:12:04,132 Speaker 3: got me into trouble in my work. So you know, 252 00:12:04,813 --> 00:12:07,573 Speaker 3: do as she led to more people leading with their 253 00:12:07,573 --> 00:12:09,813 Speaker 3: heart and not the head, as opposed to the Queen 254 00:12:10,132 --> 00:12:12,293 Speaker 3: who definitely lived with her head and not her heart. Yeah, 255 00:12:12,612 --> 00:12:15,093 Speaker 3: and that's the reason why a lot of people love 256 00:12:15,132 --> 00:12:17,372 Speaker 3: the Queen. They are ups and downs, but by the end, 257 00:12:17,573 --> 00:12:20,973 Speaker 3: people across the Queen's life of service, you find very 258 00:12:20,973 --> 00:12:24,333 Speaker 3: few people that wouldn't say that she was a awesome 259 00:12:24,413 --> 00:12:25,492 Speaker 3: woman of service. 260 00:12:25,573 --> 00:12:28,293 Speaker 2: Yep, she was a rock for the people of Great Britain. 261 00:12:28,293 --> 00:12:31,813 Speaker 2: Oh one hundred and eighteen eighty is the number to call, Glenn. 262 00:12:32,732 --> 00:12:33,253 Speaker 2: How are you? 263 00:12:34,053 --> 00:12:34,973 Speaker 7: Yeah? 264 00:12:35,012 --> 00:12:35,252 Speaker 4: Good? 265 00:12:35,293 --> 00:12:38,733 Speaker 7: Thanks? Yeah, good it guys, good subject. And yes, I 266 00:12:38,732 --> 00:12:40,732 Speaker 7: would like to read that book if it comes to 267 00:12:40,852 --> 00:12:41,933 Speaker 7: Suage in New Zealand. 268 00:12:42,012 --> 00:12:42,573 Speaker 2: Yeah, me too. 269 00:12:43,293 --> 00:12:46,612 Speaker 7: So yeah, So I was a huge fan of Diana 270 00:12:47,293 --> 00:12:51,933 Speaker 7: and Incidentally, the King and I got something in common. 271 00:12:51,973 --> 00:12:54,292 Speaker 7: We were both born in nineteen forty eight. 272 00:12:54,732 --> 00:12:57,293 Speaker 3: Okay, rw you sound a lot younger than that, Glenn. 273 00:12:58,533 --> 00:13:02,453 Speaker 7: Oh thanks guys, thank you pretty and so forth. 274 00:13:02,573 --> 00:13:04,373 Speaker 3: You've got a voice. 275 00:13:05,773 --> 00:13:08,252 Speaker 7: Yes, thank you, thank you. So the biggest difference between 276 00:13:08,533 --> 00:13:13,133 Speaker 7: myself and King Charles, I say, his ears stick out 277 00:13:13,173 --> 00:13:18,373 Speaker 7: more than mine. But the other thing I say to 278 00:13:18,413 --> 00:13:21,213 Speaker 7: my friends, if I was married to the most beautiful 279 00:13:21,973 --> 00:13:25,773 Speaker 7: woman in the world, which was Diana in her day, 280 00:13:26,612 --> 00:13:28,933 Speaker 7: I would not be helping the fence to cheat with 281 00:13:29,852 --> 00:13:35,252 Speaker 7: a woman like Camilla. So there's were the similarity, you know, 282 00:13:35,573 --> 00:13:39,732 Speaker 7: and I changed something. I felt so strongly that when 283 00:13:40,933 --> 00:13:43,893 Speaker 7: King Charles and Camilla were in Auckland a few years ago, 284 00:13:44,132 --> 00:13:47,732 Speaker 7: right I said, I said to one of my friends, 285 00:13:47,852 --> 00:13:49,293 Speaker 7: you know what I feel like doing. I feel like 286 00:13:49,333 --> 00:13:52,173 Speaker 7: going and buying a custard pie and going down to 287 00:13:52,213 --> 00:13:55,013 Speaker 7: the waterfront and biffing it at Charles and say this 288 00:13:55,173 --> 00:13:58,652 Speaker 7: is for Diana what you did to Diana, but I did. 289 00:13:58,813 --> 00:14:00,853 Speaker 7: My friends, don't do that, then you'll. 290 00:14:00,732 --> 00:14:01,372 Speaker 4: Get locked up. 291 00:14:01,933 --> 00:14:04,492 Speaker 3: I think that was good advice. I think that was 292 00:14:04,492 --> 00:14:06,652 Speaker 3: good advice in the India. But but you know, you're 293 00:14:06,653 --> 00:14:08,933 Speaker 3: allowed to there's no such thing as the thought crime. 294 00:14:08,933 --> 00:14:11,293 Speaker 3: You're allowed to imagine it. It makes you feel better. 295 00:14:11,453 --> 00:14:15,293 Speaker 7: I know, I know, honestly, that's That's how strongly I felt, 296 00:14:15,612 --> 00:14:17,532 Speaker 7: and I still do to this day. I got no 297 00:14:17,612 --> 00:14:20,613 Speaker 7: time for King Charles, not at all, not after what 298 00:14:20,773 --> 00:14:23,333 Speaker 7: he did. Same as Tiger Woods. I used to love 299 00:14:23,413 --> 00:14:25,373 Speaker 7: Tiger Woods, and then he went and cheated on his 300 00:14:25,453 --> 00:14:29,213 Speaker 7: beautiful wife Ali Norgren. And I mean, I just got 301 00:14:29,253 --> 00:14:30,013 Speaker 7: no time for that. 302 00:14:30,093 --> 00:14:31,133 Speaker 2: So it sounds like. 303 00:14:31,133 --> 00:14:34,573 Speaker 3: You take a very you think people should take their 304 00:14:34,613 --> 00:14:36,613 Speaker 3: their marriage vows more seriously. 305 00:14:39,733 --> 00:14:43,172 Speaker 7: Well, when you're married to someone that's just so beautiful, 306 00:14:43,613 --> 00:14:45,733 Speaker 7: why would you do that? You've got to be it's 307 00:14:45,733 --> 00:14:48,533 Speaker 7: got to be a screw loose here, I reckon all right. 308 00:14:48,453 --> 00:14:50,613 Speaker 3: Okay, but just just bring it back to the topic 309 00:14:50,653 --> 00:14:55,653 Speaker 3: at hand, Glenn so Yes, Diana obviously went through her struggle. 310 00:14:55,773 --> 00:14:58,493 Speaker 3: She she she had, you know, her problems in life 311 00:14:58,493 --> 00:15:02,653 Speaker 3: and and and Charles treated her poorly. But do you 312 00:15:02,733 --> 00:15:06,813 Speaker 3: think as this this book suggests, you know, it doesn't 313 00:15:06,813 --> 00:15:08,693 Speaker 3: suggest it strongly. It's a small part of the that 314 00:15:09,333 --> 00:15:13,933 Speaker 3: her approach to life, her emotional approach to public service 315 00:15:13,973 --> 00:15:16,693 Speaker 3: and public life, and she is considered as a politician, 316 00:15:16,693 --> 00:15:19,453 Speaker 3: even though she wasn't elected in and it argues that 317 00:15:19,493 --> 00:15:23,373 Speaker 3: this attitude opened up the Western world to behaving like this. 318 00:15:23,893 --> 00:15:28,093 Speaker 3: But do you think that that emotional response where we 319 00:15:28,173 --> 00:15:33,333 Speaker 3: hear from political figures that their feelings on topics and 320 00:15:33,373 --> 00:15:38,573 Speaker 3: their feelings about how they're being treated, do you think 321 00:15:38,773 --> 00:15:42,133 Speaker 3: that that's a good legacy of hers, not her fault, 322 00:15:42,573 --> 00:15:44,213 Speaker 3: that that is her legacy. But do you think do 323 00:15:44,213 --> 00:15:46,493 Speaker 3: you think that the world changing in that direction where 324 00:15:46,653 --> 00:15:48,932 Speaker 3: political people are more emotional, has been a good or 325 00:15:48,933 --> 00:15:49,412 Speaker 3: a bad thing. 326 00:15:51,173 --> 00:15:55,173 Speaker 7: Yeah, look, it's a pretty deep subject. But for me, 327 00:15:55,293 --> 00:15:58,573 Speaker 7: the legacy of Diana is seeing her in Africa with 328 00:15:58,653 --> 00:16:02,053 Speaker 7: those poor little kids. You know, she just had so 329 00:16:02,173 --> 00:16:06,172 Speaker 7: much empathy. Whereas the royals were sort of toffee, no 330 00:16:06,413 --> 00:16:10,253 Speaker 7: stuck up. She just got right down there and got 331 00:16:10,453 --> 00:16:13,133 Speaker 7: hands dirty, and you know, she was just really just 332 00:16:13,213 --> 00:16:14,693 Speaker 7: the most lovely person. 333 00:16:16,093 --> 00:16:19,573 Speaker 3: Isn't it kind of the queen's job to be a 334 00:16:19,733 --> 00:16:22,532 Speaker 3: rock and be a bit stuffy and be an institution. 335 00:16:22,853 --> 00:16:25,493 Speaker 3: I mean, as she said in nineteen seventy seven, when 336 00:16:25,493 --> 00:16:27,493 Speaker 3: I was twenty one, I pledged my life to the 337 00:16:27,533 --> 00:16:29,693 Speaker 3: service of our people, and I asked for God's help 338 00:16:29,773 --> 00:16:32,253 Speaker 3: to make that vowel. Although the vowel was made in 339 00:16:32,253 --> 00:16:34,693 Speaker 3: my salad days when I was green in judgment, I 340 00:16:34,733 --> 00:16:37,893 Speaker 3: do not regret nor retract one word of it. She 341 00:16:38,173 --> 00:16:41,173 Speaker 3: was the same and when in nineteen fifty three as 342 00:16:41,173 --> 00:16:44,253 Speaker 3: she was as nineteen seventy seven, as she was when 343 00:16:44,253 --> 00:16:47,533 Speaker 3: she passed away a few years ago. And there's something 344 00:16:47,573 --> 00:16:50,173 Speaker 3: to be said for that, right. And she had definitely 345 00:16:50,173 --> 00:16:52,773 Speaker 3: gone up and down in her private life. The Queen 346 00:16:52,813 --> 00:16:55,613 Speaker 3: faced a lot of a lot of you know, stresses 347 00:16:55,613 --> 00:16:58,453 Speaker 3: in her private life, but in terms of her public 348 00:16:58,493 --> 00:17:02,373 Speaker 3: facing she was the same. She was steady. And isn't 349 00:17:02,373 --> 00:17:05,733 Speaker 3: that something to be admired from the people at the top. 350 00:17:05,653 --> 00:17:13,053 Speaker 7: Service society the queen as well, you know. But anyway, 351 00:17:13,413 --> 00:17:18,773 Speaker 7: it's a good subject, guys, A better go. 352 00:17:19,173 --> 00:17:20,853 Speaker 3: Is Glenn married? He sounds like a top bloke with 353 00:17:20,933 --> 00:17:23,333 Speaker 3: amazing morals, such a rarity these days. 354 00:17:23,573 --> 00:17:26,453 Speaker 2: That's from He certainly didn't sound the same age as 355 00:17:26,493 --> 00:17:28,653 Speaker 2: King Charles. And I say that with respect to Glenn. 356 00:17:28,653 --> 00:17:29,613 Speaker 2: He sounded like a young man. 357 00:17:29,733 --> 00:17:32,413 Speaker 3: That's from Christina. Is Christina married? It sounds like Glenn 358 00:17:32,413 --> 00:17:33,613 Speaker 3: and Christina could get together. 359 00:17:33,893 --> 00:17:35,053 Speaker 2: We can do it a matchmakers. 360 00:17:35,093 --> 00:17:37,613 Speaker 3: Glenn married, he sounds like a top bloke with amazing man. 361 00:17:38,133 --> 00:17:40,133 Speaker 3: Such a rarity these days. Cheers Christina. 362 00:17:40,493 --> 00:17:43,373 Speaker 2: We'll hop you guys up. Maybe eighty ten eighty is 363 00:17:43,413 --> 00:17:45,653 Speaker 2: an umber cores also a dating service. It's right, so 364 00:17:45,813 --> 00:17:47,733 Speaker 2: we do it all. Yeah, there's just this line in 365 00:17:47,773 --> 00:17:49,973 Speaker 2: this article, and you've alluded to it a lot, you know, 366 00:17:50,013 --> 00:17:53,213 Speaker 2: a lot during this discussion. But so the author White 367 00:17:53,333 --> 00:17:56,053 Speaker 2: he why he resisted linkling Diana directly to Briggs that 368 00:17:56,173 --> 00:17:58,733 Speaker 2: he points out how the political climate in Britain has 369 00:17:58,733 --> 00:18:02,493 Speaker 2: never been the same. Authority is met with less difference. 370 00:18:02,853 --> 00:18:07,013 Speaker 2: Institutions are more open different sorry, institutions are more open 371 00:18:07,053 --> 00:18:09,933 Speaker 2: to outsiders. But this is a politicians weep on camera 372 00:18:09,973 --> 00:18:12,813 Speaker 2: and urge the public to show troubled youths more love. 373 00:18:12,933 --> 00:18:14,693 Speaker 2: So that is that big empathy thing. But a lot 374 00:18:14,693 --> 00:18:20,693 Speaker 2: of the leaders that we really respect throughout history venerate 375 00:18:20,933 --> 00:18:24,093 Speaker 2: they would never cry on camera or never show emotion. 376 00:18:24,373 --> 00:18:28,933 Speaker 2: And I'm thinking Winston Churchill, I'm thinking True Peters, Winston Peters, 377 00:18:29,053 --> 00:18:33,173 Speaker 2: Michael Joseph Savage, because that was something that was ingrained 378 00:18:33,213 --> 00:18:35,853 Speaker 2: in then being a leader. I imagine Winston Churchill breaking 379 00:18:35,893 --> 00:18:37,733 Speaker 2: down and said, it's not fair that Germany wants to 380 00:18:37,733 --> 00:18:40,133 Speaker 2: attack us. He would never do that. He needed to 381 00:18:40,173 --> 00:18:43,053 Speaker 2: be strong for the nation, say we are going to 382 00:18:43,093 --> 00:18:44,293 Speaker 2: be all right, we will take this on. 383 00:18:44,493 --> 00:18:47,253 Speaker 3: You've articulated my point. Well there, Tyler, that's what I'm 384 00:18:47,253 --> 00:18:49,853 Speaker 3: trying to say. Isn't it your job when you're leading people? 385 00:18:50,173 --> 00:18:51,613 Speaker 3: And look, I know what you going to say. Diana 386 00:18:51,773 --> 00:18:53,693 Speaker 3: was married in when she was young and she didn't 387 00:18:53,693 --> 00:18:56,173 Speaker 3: necessarily buy into it or whatever, but she was a 388 00:18:56,173 --> 00:19:00,053 Speaker 3: political figure even though she wasn't voted in. But isn't 389 00:19:00,093 --> 00:19:02,133 Speaker 3: that one of the things you're supposed to do as 390 00:19:02,173 --> 00:19:04,653 Speaker 3: a leader. If you put yourself up and put your 391 00:19:04,653 --> 00:19:06,173 Speaker 3: hand up and say I am going to be a 392 00:19:06,173 --> 00:19:10,013 Speaker 3: political leader in a killer country. One of those things 393 00:19:10,013 --> 00:19:14,253 Speaker 3: that you have to do is portray strength and stability 394 00:19:14,813 --> 00:19:19,093 Speaker 3: and be strong, because if you're not strong, then why 395 00:19:19,133 --> 00:19:21,693 Speaker 3: should the rest of us be strong? And whatever's happening 396 00:19:21,733 --> 00:19:24,532 Speaker 3: in your life. Sure, you know Charles was a bit 397 00:19:24,573 --> 00:19:30,133 Speaker 3: handsy with Camilla, but that was something that and look, 398 00:19:30,213 --> 00:19:33,973 Speaker 3: Prince Philip obviously calls the Queens province, but that's that 399 00:19:34,133 --> 00:19:36,693 Speaker 3: is your private life. If you're in front of people, 400 00:19:37,053 --> 00:19:40,773 Speaker 3: you need to, I believe, be strong and powerful and lead. 401 00:19:41,013 --> 00:19:42,893 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Oh, what one hundred and eighty ten 402 00:19:42,933 --> 00:19:44,493 Speaker 2: eighty love to hear your thoughts on this one. It 403 00:19:44,613 --> 00:19:47,013 Speaker 2: is twenty eight past one. 404 00:19:47,813 --> 00:19:52,133 Speaker 1: Putting the tough questions to the newspeakers, the mic asking Breakfast. 405 00:19:51,893 --> 00:19:53,973 Speaker 3: Back to this business of our economic aims and chief 406 00:19:53,973 --> 00:19:56,613 Speaker 3: Economy of Sharon Zelna is back with all these companies 407 00:19:56,613 --> 00:19:58,773 Speaker 3: that are abandoned in guidance now because they have no 408 00:19:58,853 --> 00:20:01,173 Speaker 3: idea what's going on? Does that make life more difficult 409 00:20:01,213 --> 00:20:01,413 Speaker 3: for us? 410 00:20:01,453 --> 00:20:01,572 Speaker 8: All? 411 00:20:01,653 --> 00:20:03,493 Speaker 9: Well, it does make it more difficult for them, and 412 00:20:03,853 --> 00:20:05,853 Speaker 9: N's case the actual direct tariff on. 413 00:20:05,853 --> 00:20:09,773 Speaker 10: US twelve percent of exports. A good expert, it's not. 414 00:20:09,733 --> 00:20:12,213 Speaker 9: A game changer to the economy, but for some individual 415 00:20:12,253 --> 00:20:14,813 Speaker 9: companies of course it's a very big deal. But the 416 00:20:14,893 --> 00:20:16,813 Speaker 9: main channel through which she won could be effective of 417 00:20:16,933 --> 00:20:21,573 Speaker 9: the flower growth, including in China partners impacting our commodity 418 00:20:21,653 --> 00:20:25,093 Speaker 9: crisses and exports more generally, but also that confidence channel. 419 00:20:25,333 --> 00:20:28,493 Speaker 3: Back Monday from six am the mic asking Breakfast with 420 00:20:28,693 --> 00:20:30,573 Speaker 3: a Vida News Talk ZB. 421 00:20:31,653 --> 00:20:34,333 Speaker 2: Good afternoon, having a great discussion about the legacy of 422 00:20:34,333 --> 00:20:37,693 Speaker 2: Princess Diana. It is after a new book that is 423 00:20:37,733 --> 00:20:39,533 Speaker 2: on sale in the UK as we speak. It will 424 00:20:39,573 --> 00:20:41,573 Speaker 2: be coming to our shores of course, Edward White is 425 00:20:41,613 --> 00:20:44,573 Speaker 2: the author and the book is called Diana World, an Obsession, 426 00:20:44,653 --> 00:20:48,893 Speaker 2: but it explores her lasting cultural impact and her populist influence. 427 00:20:49,373 --> 00:20:52,173 Speaker 2: But it does make the argument that Britain was forever 428 00:20:52,293 --> 00:20:55,773 Speaker 2: changed when it came to that style of leadership and 429 00:20:55,893 --> 00:20:58,413 Speaker 2: politicians weeping on camera and urging the public to show 430 00:20:58,413 --> 00:21:00,973 Speaker 2: troubled youths more love was certainly a feature of that. 431 00:21:01,533 --> 00:21:03,533 Speaker 3: Yeah, so you don't have to blame Diana for it, 432 00:21:03,413 --> 00:21:06,013 Speaker 3: but according to this, and it would seem to be 433 00:21:06,053 --> 00:21:07,853 Speaker 3: true if you look into it, that she changed the 434 00:21:07,893 --> 00:21:11,053 Speaker 3: way politicians behaved. This Texas is I want to see 435 00:21:11,093 --> 00:21:13,893 Speaker 3: politicians crying. They should be humans. I want to hear 436 00:21:13,933 --> 00:21:16,973 Speaker 3: that they are hurt by things, so we know not 437 00:21:17,133 --> 00:21:19,013 Speaker 3: what to say. I guess the special means, so we 438 00:21:19,133 --> 00:21:21,373 Speaker 3: know not to say those things to them. I want 439 00:21:21,413 --> 00:21:23,733 Speaker 3: to know what's happening in their hearts and in their lives. 440 00:21:23,933 --> 00:21:26,653 Speaker 3: You want robots to lead you. The Queen was a robot. 441 00:21:27,173 --> 00:21:29,693 Speaker 3: She had no personality of her own. I want to 442 00:21:29,693 --> 00:21:33,093 Speaker 3: be led by people with a heart like Diana. And 443 00:21:33,093 --> 00:21:34,373 Speaker 3: of course you're going to text and say that they 444 00:21:34,413 --> 00:21:37,533 Speaker 3: didn't lead us, but but they are political figures. And 445 00:21:38,093 --> 00:21:40,973 Speaker 3: they did lead to more emotional behavior from other people. 446 00:21:41,013 --> 00:21:41,373 Speaker 4: Diana. 447 00:21:41,773 --> 00:21:43,493 Speaker 3: All right, so that person. 448 00:21:43,213 --> 00:21:45,733 Speaker 2: It's a detext. I could feel the emotion in that text. 449 00:21:45,773 --> 00:21:49,133 Speaker 2: I'm going to say. And this Texas says, at the 450 00:21:49,413 --> 00:21:52,893 Speaker 2: time the future queen had to be a virgin of 451 00:21:53,053 --> 00:21:58,133 Speaker 2: noble birth without any blemishes like affairs, which Camilla wasn't 452 00:21:58,173 --> 00:22:00,973 Speaker 2: at the time. Blame on hundred years one hundred years 453 00:22:01,013 --> 00:22:04,013 Speaker 2: of palace protocol. William told the palace snubs to get 454 00:22:04,053 --> 00:22:07,813 Speaker 2: stuffed when he married Kate, and they did. Steve from Tikowiti. 455 00:22:07,373 --> 00:22:09,413 Speaker 3: Well, it's funny say that, Steph from Tickerwitty, because I 456 00:22:09,413 --> 00:22:14,773 Speaker 3: would say that that William married the most queen like 457 00:22:15,293 --> 00:22:16,493 Speaker 3: royal for quite some time. 458 00:22:16,693 --> 00:22:16,893 Speaker 11: Yeah. 459 00:22:17,253 --> 00:22:20,493 Speaker 3: She may have been the daughter of a what was 460 00:22:20,533 --> 00:22:22,213 Speaker 3: it was, I think it was a pilot, was he? 461 00:22:23,853 --> 00:22:26,213 Speaker 2: No? 462 00:22:27,453 --> 00:22:30,293 Speaker 3: Yeah, the Middleton's Yeah, So I don't know whether she 463 00:22:30,373 --> 00:22:36,373 Speaker 3: was a virgin or not. Absolutely. I don't think that's 464 00:22:36,493 --> 00:22:38,493 Speaker 3: that's that's the part that we necessarily want to keep 465 00:22:38,613 --> 00:22:40,693 Speaker 3: or focus on. But I would say that Kate Middleton 466 00:22:41,373 --> 00:22:45,493 Speaker 3: does seem to demonstrate that sort of stoic Queen Elizabeth 467 00:22:45,933 --> 00:22:49,013 Speaker 3: approach to being in public life, absolutely more than the 468 00:22:49,093 --> 00:22:51,733 Speaker 3: likes of Megan or Diana did, which is interesting that 469 00:22:51,773 --> 00:22:55,133 Speaker 3: William picked someone like Kate to be his partner, someone 470 00:22:55,213 --> 00:22:56,413 Speaker 3: who's very solid. 471 00:22:56,733 --> 00:22:59,052 Speaker 2: Yeah, she's pretty stoic, but with a touch of Diana 472 00:22:59,133 --> 00:23:01,213 Speaker 2: in there. And Kate, I mean you see that with 473 00:23:01,253 --> 00:23:04,413 Speaker 2: some of the things that she does. But yeah, I 474 00:23:04,453 --> 00:23:07,253 Speaker 2: mean I think that balance between Kate and the Queen 475 00:23:07,293 --> 00:23:10,893 Speaker 2: should probably meet. Lean more to Queen Elizabeth hundred. 476 00:23:11,053 --> 00:23:16,893 Speaker 3: I can't believe you guys think that the Kings of 477 00:23:16,973 --> 00:23:21,093 Speaker 3: England were stoic. They were creeps. And Winston Churchill was 478 00:23:21,093 --> 00:23:24,053 Speaker 3: a drunk and had wild mood swings. Look at that 479 00:23:24,173 --> 00:23:29,173 Speaker 3: old weird Trump guy. He's a role. He uses Winston 480 00:23:29,333 --> 00:23:33,693 Speaker 3: Churchill as a royal model. Now, yeah, maybe Winston was. 481 00:23:34,253 --> 00:23:36,093 Speaker 3: Winston Churchill was a bit of a drunk here and 482 00:23:36,133 --> 00:23:41,093 Speaker 3: there and enjoyed a champagne or two, but in public 483 00:23:41,333 --> 00:23:43,933 Speaker 3: he was very powerful and strong. We shall meet them 484 00:23:43,973 --> 00:23:45,773 Speaker 3: on the beaches, yeah you know. 485 00:23:46,493 --> 00:23:48,572 Speaker 2: Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call. 486 00:23:48,613 --> 00:23:51,373 Speaker 2: We've got headlines coming up, but we're keen to check 487 00:23:51,413 --> 00:23:55,173 Speaker 2: to you on this one.

A new trial date will 493 00:24:12,573 --> 00:24:17,013 Speaker 12: be set.

Call quick, gents. 537 00:26:11,453 --> 00:26:15,893 Speaker 15: I'm just about stinish lunch. What trigger in my call 538 00:26:15,933 --> 00:26:18,173 Speaker 15: was yet a gentleman on gosh, I can't remember his name, 539 00:26:18,213 --> 00:26:22,133 Speaker 15: but from what I understood, he was so anti Charles 540 00:26:22,173 --> 00:26:25,053 Speaker 15: based on purely if you had such a beautiful wife 541 00:26:25,053 --> 00:26:28,693 Speaker 15: as Diana, why would you do that? So that that 542 00:26:28,813 --> 00:26:32,093 Speaker 15: seemed to be the sort of, you know, the premise 543 00:26:32,133 --> 00:26:35,733 Speaker 15: of this sort of point of view. Now, I mean, 544 00:26:35,773 --> 00:26:38,613 Speaker 15: I don't particularly care about the Royals, you know, established stuff, 545 00:26:38,933 --> 00:26:42,653 Speaker 15: tuffy nose, stuffy, et cetera. But and I don't particularly 546 00:26:42,653 --> 00:26:47,373 Speaker 15: like Charles either. But he's not a bad person now 547 00:26:48,213 --> 00:26:52,053 Speaker 15: since Diana unfortunately passed away in that he doesn't he 548 00:26:52,133 --> 00:26:55,013 Speaker 15: not raise two children on his own, you know, they 549 00:26:55,093 --> 00:26:57,653 Speaker 15: turn up reasonably role. I mean, the troubles were sort 550 00:26:57,653 --> 00:27:00,253 Speaker 15: of happening. Now that's not really to do with him. 551 00:27:00,293 --> 00:27:03,613 Speaker 15: That's to do with their own intermarriage, you know, relationships whatever, 552 00:27:05,093 --> 00:27:07,613 Speaker 15: so you know, And I mean like Diana was not 553 00:27:07,893 --> 00:27:11,053 Speaker 15: she didn't said on cloud some sort of angelic bean, 554 00:27:11,573 --> 00:27:16,933 Speaker 15: you know. So I sort of remember the sort of 555 00:27:17,093 --> 00:27:20,093 Speaker 15: the psyche when Diana passed away, the hatred towards Charles 556 00:27:20,333 --> 00:27:24,173 Speaker 15: been all the stuff. You know, it's flightly embarrassing to 557 00:27:24,173 --> 00:27:26,493 Speaker 15: see the sort of behavior. You know, you actually got 558 00:27:26,533 --> 00:27:30,173 Speaker 15: to think about Diana again. No one's perfect, absolutely, but 559 00:27:30,253 --> 00:27:33,693 Speaker 15: she knew how she how to manipulate the media as well, 560 00:27:35,253 --> 00:27:36,973 Speaker 15: so she was put you know, she there was a 561 00:27:37,013 --> 00:27:39,573 Speaker 15: degree of expediency in her behavior as well. 562 00:27:39,853 --> 00:27:42,053 Speaker 3: I mean, even the way she did her makeup for 563 00:27:42,133 --> 00:27:46,213 Speaker 3: the Michael this Year interview, even though we know now 564 00:27:46,253 --> 00:27:47,373 Speaker 3: that there was a very dodge in here, was a 565 00:27:47,453 --> 00:27:50,733 Speaker 3: terrible human being, but that we know for a fact 566 00:27:50,773 --> 00:27:54,173 Speaker 3: that she said, make me a lot incredibly depressed in there. 567 00:27:55,413 --> 00:27:58,293 Speaker 15: And in a way actually I mean again don't really 568 00:27:58,293 --> 00:28:00,013 Speaker 15: have any type of charlds either, but I mean, if 569 00:28:00,013 --> 00:28:02,333 Speaker 15: you're going to be shallow about it and talking about beauty, 570 00:28:03,093 --> 00:28:06,893 Speaker 15: the fact that he chose Camilla and he's you know, that. 571 00:28:06,853 --> 00:28:08,853 Speaker 3: Could be argued to be a positive about a person 572 00:28:08,893 --> 00:28:11,813 Speaker 3: that so if you go, well, he chose someone because 573 00:28:12,013 --> 00:28:14,453 Speaker 3: he had a close connection to her and he saw 574 00:28:14,493 --> 00:28:17,773 Speaker 3: Camilla as his soul mate over someone that was arguably 575 00:28:17,813 --> 00:28:20,093 Speaker 3: I don't know, I'm not going to go and rate them. 576 00:28:20,373 --> 00:28:22,893 Speaker 3: Arguably bitter looking could be seen as strength of character. 577 00:28:22,893 --> 00:28:24,173 Speaker 3: Couldn't it Chris. 578 00:28:25,053 --> 00:28:28,093 Speaker 15: Yeah, but then you know sort of court of public 579 00:28:28,133 --> 00:28:32,213 Speaker 15: opinion and the sort of media and you know, tabloids 580 00:28:32,213 --> 00:28:33,853 Speaker 15: and all that kind of stuff that they don't focus 581 00:28:33,933 --> 00:28:36,013 Speaker 15: on that sort of thing. They focus on the sort 582 00:28:36,053 --> 00:28:38,693 Speaker 15: of aesthetic side of things, you know, and and and 583 00:28:38,333 --> 00:28:41,133 Speaker 15: what sort of scandal might sell and you know, and 584 00:28:41,173 --> 00:28:44,133 Speaker 15: then people people themselves can't rationalize it, so they just 585 00:28:44,253 --> 00:28:45,653 Speaker 15: end up believing. 586 00:28:47,613 --> 00:28:49,133 Speaker 3: Thank you so much for your call.

Welcome 624 00:30:29,693 --> 00:30:31,813 Speaker 3: to the show Mike, you've got a story about Diana. 625 00:30:32,813 --> 00:30:33,053 Speaker 7: I have. 626 00:30:33,493 --> 00:30:35,413 Speaker 13: I'm going back thirty years ago when I met my 627 00:30:35,453 --> 00:30:39,573 Speaker 13: wife's cuby Gill, and we were living in London and 628 00:30:39,613 --> 00:30:42,053 Speaker 13: her mother and father had some friends who were very 629 00:30:42,093 --> 00:30:44,813 Speaker 13: wealthy in Earle's Court in London, so the Asters would 630 00:30:44,853 --> 00:30:47,973 Speaker 13: be housed at the house for six months while they 631 00:30:47,973 --> 00:30:50,653 Speaker 13: came out to New Zealand her to escape the winter 632 00:30:50,733 --> 00:30:53,253 Speaker 13: over there. Anyway, we jumped at it as just like 633 00:30:53,293 --> 00:30:55,813 Speaker 13: a three bedroom, a three story house in the middle 634 00:30:55,813 --> 00:30:58,133 Speaker 13: of Shales Court. It was a way out of ours vam. 635 00:30:58,213 --> 00:31:01,293 Speaker 13: So we go in there and we take over the house. 636 00:31:02,773 --> 00:31:04,653 Speaker 13: The reason they wanted us to take it over, we 637 00:31:04,693 --> 00:31:06,173 Speaker 13: didn't get it at the end. It was such an 638 00:31:06,213 --> 00:31:09,773 Speaker 13: egotistical thing is that she had a maid who was 639 00:31:09,813 --> 00:31:13,973 Speaker 13: also Diana's maid part time, but we didn't know this. Anyway, 640 00:31:13,973 --> 00:31:15,213 Speaker 13: the maid comes in and we sued to have to 641 00:31:15,213 --> 00:31:18,293 Speaker 13: pay her twenty quick a week whatever it was, and 642 00:31:18,333 --> 00:31:21,893 Speaker 13: the name and the name of the lady was Lily. Now, 643 00:31:21,893 --> 00:31:24,093 Speaker 13: the funny thing was that I'm a musician, have played 644 00:31:24,093 --> 00:31:26,133 Speaker 13: guitar and play piano, and I'm in there and she 645 00:31:26,213 --> 00:31:28,093 Speaker 13: used to just come over to me all the time, Michael, 646 00:31:28,253 --> 00:31:30,293 Speaker 13: please come to the church. It was a Filipino lady 647 00:31:30,773 --> 00:31:33,813 Speaker 13: come to the church and play for us. And I 648 00:31:33,853 --> 00:31:35,813 Speaker 13: was like, not really, but I was always plugging, and 649 00:31:35,813 --> 00:31:38,013 Speaker 13: I was like, what's it like, you know, working for Diana. 650 00:31:38,053 --> 00:31:39,813 Speaker 13: It's like I can't tell you because of the official 651 00:31:39,853 --> 00:31:42,373 Speaker 13: secret sect and whatever else. But he had only job. 652 00:31:42,653 --> 00:31:44,693 Speaker 13: It's bizarre when you actually go into it and actually 653 00:31:44,773 --> 00:31:47,453 Speaker 13: understand it. Her only job was she'd go in the morning. 654 00:31:47,533 --> 00:31:50,173 Speaker 13: She'd opened the blind, pull the blanket back, and SAI, 655 00:31:50,213 --> 00:31:55,013 Speaker 13: good morning, your majesty. That was her job. Get it 656 00:31:55,133 --> 00:31:58,853 Speaker 13: gets more and more weird, but anyway, so that was 657 00:31:58,893 --> 00:32:00,373 Speaker 13: her job. And then she'd come and clean the house 658 00:32:00,413 --> 00:32:02,773 Speaker 13: twice a week. Now, over the period that we were there, 659 00:32:02,813 --> 00:32:05,013 Speaker 13: I actually became quite friendly with it, and she started 660 00:32:05,013 --> 00:32:08,133 Speaker 13: taking me into a confidence and every morning she said, Michael, please, 661 00:32:08,133 --> 00:32:10,413 Speaker 13: please played piano on the song, play play the gospel songs. 662 00:32:10,573 --> 00:32:13,813 Speaker 13: Played piano for her. And then one day she sat 663 00:32:13,853 --> 00:32:15,733 Speaker 13: down next to me and she turned around she said, 664 00:32:15,733 --> 00:32:18,333 Speaker 13: I want to tell you something about Diana, so I 665 00:32:18,373 --> 00:32:21,453 Speaker 13: see her go on, so the boss too. It was 666 00:32:21,613 --> 00:32:23,813 Speaker 13: one day she'd gone in there two years earlier. She 667 00:32:23,893 --> 00:32:26,653 Speaker 13: was crying and Diana said, Lily, Lily, whatever's the matter? 668 00:32:26,813 --> 00:32:29,653 Speaker 13: She said to, my mother is about to die. Within 669 00:32:29,813 --> 00:32:32,373 Speaker 13: sixteen hours, she was on a plane in business class 670 00:32:32,373 --> 00:32:36,093 Speaker 13: to the Philippines. Diana that organized that for her. Now, 671 00:32:36,613 --> 00:32:38,733 Speaker 13: anyone who'd done that, I thought, that's got to be 672 00:32:38,773 --> 00:32:39,373 Speaker 13: a good person. 673 00:32:39,773 --> 00:32:41,173 Speaker 3: Is a good person. I mean, she had the money 674 00:32:41,213 --> 00:32:42,933 Speaker 3: to do it, but she's but you have just have 675 00:32:43,053 --> 00:32:47,093 Speaker 3: the thought to do it. Is beautiful, isn't it so much? 676 00:32:47,613 --> 00:32:49,253 Speaker 3: Are you saying that you would have had the ability 677 00:32:49,293 --> 00:32:54,053 Speaker 3: if you're taking up the option to come and play 678 00:32:54,133 --> 00:32:55,653 Speaker 3: for Diana? What was the church? 679 00:32:56,733 --> 00:32:58,653 Speaker 13: No, I actually met Diana las long as it goes, 680 00:32:58,693 --> 00:33:01,413 Speaker 13: but that's a different story altogether. No, it wasn't that. 681 00:33:01,733 --> 00:33:03,893 Speaker 13: It's just that she became very friendly with me. She 682 00:33:03,973 --> 00:33:06,893 Speaker 13: started to tell me some really weird stuff. Now I 683 00:33:07,013 --> 00:33:09,933 Speaker 13: am actually a Royalist. I must be the only person 684 00:33:09,933 --> 00:33:14,533 Speaker 13: from the Blue Words, but I am. And she started 685 00:33:14,533 --> 00:33:17,053 Speaker 13: telling me things, and it changed my perception totally about 686 00:33:17,053 --> 00:33:21,373 Speaker 13: the royals. So, for an example, with Charles, if Charles 687 00:33:21,373 --> 00:33:23,493 Speaker 13: would walk into a room that he's walked into a 688 00:33:23,573 --> 00:33:26,653 Speaker 13: hundred times, and let's say a booth that was supposed 689 00:33:26,693 --> 00:33:28,373 Speaker 13: to be placed on the table was an inch either 690 00:33:28,493 --> 00:33:30,773 Speaker 13: side of where there should be. That person would be fired, 691 00:33:32,093 --> 00:33:34,493 Speaker 13: or a photograph wasn't exactly where they should be on 692 00:33:34,573 --> 00:33:37,813 Speaker 13: a table, or that person would be fired if it 693 00:33:38,013 --> 00:33:40,733 Speaker 13: was just anywhere that. So you can imagine, let me 694 00:33:40,773 --> 00:33:42,893 Speaker 13: time to go into a room, it's exactly how it 695 00:33:43,013 --> 00:33:46,053 Speaker 13: should be and nothing is out by the slicest milimeter. 696 00:33:46,373 --> 00:33:48,213 Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's kind of like Mike hosking it and 697 00:33:48,293 --> 00:33:52,213 Speaker 3: news tucks. He'd be very much trying to get everyone 698 00:33:52,253 --> 00:33:54,773 Speaker 3: fired if they move his a little bits of CRUs 699 00:33:55,213 --> 00:33:56,613 Speaker 3: such as fody leaves lying around. 700 00:33:56,693 --> 00:34:00,533 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't know where it is. 701 00:34:00,573 --> 00:34:04,333 Speaker 13: But it's really quite strange when you when when you 702 00:34:04,373 --> 00:34:07,093 Speaker 13: actually got into it. But the bottom line to what 703 00:34:07,173 --> 00:34:09,613 Speaker 13: I took from that, it was a beautiful thing that 704 00:34:09,652 --> 00:34:11,533 Speaker 13: Diana did. And about a year later, I used to 705 00:34:11,533 --> 00:34:14,413 Speaker 13: work in Chelsea and I'd gone into the office on 706 00:34:14,453 --> 00:34:16,692 Speaker 13: a Friday to drop my business off and just as 707 00:34:16,693 --> 00:34:18,733 Speaker 13: I got into the office, this guy walks in and 708 00:34:18,773 --> 00:34:21,173 Speaker 13: he must have been not six foot ten, and he 709 00:34:21,293 --> 00:34:23,493 Speaker 13: was built like the back end of the brickhouse. And 710 00:34:23,533 --> 00:34:24,893 Speaker 13: he come up and he turned. I said, do oh 711 00:34:25,013 --> 00:34:27,053 Speaker 13: was a card X y Z? And I said, I 712 00:34:27,173 --> 00:34:28,973 Speaker 13: to mine. He says move it, and I said, just 713 00:34:28,973 --> 00:34:30,253 Speaker 13: give me a minute, and he come up to me. 714 00:34:30,333 --> 00:34:32,413 Speaker 13: He just towered over and he said move it. So 715 00:34:32,493 --> 00:34:34,573 Speaker 13: I said, okay, So any I go downstairs with him 716 00:34:34,613 --> 00:34:36,692 Speaker 13: and mover. And it's Diane. She's waiting to get house. 717 00:34:36,693 --> 00:34:38,253 Speaker 13: She used to go to the gym above where I 718 00:34:38,293 --> 00:34:40,773 Speaker 13: used to work. So I said to her the story 719 00:34:40,773 --> 00:34:43,333 Speaker 13: about Lily, and I try towards you up moller. And 720 00:34:43,413 --> 00:34:46,373 Speaker 13: she was just so beautiful. She was truly a beautiful person, 721 00:34:46,413 --> 00:34:49,213 Speaker 13: I believe, because it's very easy to make someone very 722 00:34:49,253 --> 00:34:51,373 Speaker 13: beautiful through pr and the way he promote them and 723 00:34:51,413 --> 00:34:54,413 Speaker 13: all that and whatever else. But the way she actually 724 00:34:54,533 --> 00:34:56,933 Speaker 13: the way she came across, and it always stuck with 725 00:34:56,973 --> 00:34:59,293 Speaker 13: me what she did for this poor little Filipino lady 726 00:34:59,613 --> 00:35:01,333 Speaker 13: who was heart broken and she had on a plane. 727 00:35:01,413 --> 00:35:02,692 Speaker 13: I just thought that was a beautiful thing. 728 00:35:02,773 --> 00:35:03,053 Speaker 4: Really. 729 00:35:03,253 --> 00:35:05,613 Speaker 3: Yes, well, thank you so much for sharing your story. 730 00:35:05,693 --> 00:35:09,093 Speaker 2: Great stories. Yeah, I mean that is I mean, Mike 731 00:35:09,173 --> 00:35:11,693 Speaker 2: has been in that situation. But that is a compelling 732 00:35:11,813 --> 00:35:15,293 Speaker 2: argument for Diana, and some would say she was she 733 00:35:15,653 --> 00:35:17,653 Speaker 2: took a punt doing what she did, how she acted 734 00:35:17,693 --> 00:35:19,733 Speaker 2: in public and putting we're in her heart on a 735 00:35:19,773 --> 00:35:22,493 Speaker 2: sleep that was arguably quite a brave thing for her 736 00:35:22,533 --> 00:35:24,413 Speaker 2: to do, because she came under quite a bit of 737 00:35:24,453 --> 00:35:24,893 Speaker 2: stick for that. 738 00:35:25,173 --> 00:35:27,533 Speaker 3: That may be true, Tyler, but the argument isn't that. 739 00:35:27,573 --> 00:35:29,252 Speaker 3: The thing that's not being pushed forward here is whether 740 00:35:29,293 --> 00:35:32,172 Speaker 3: Diana was a good person or not. It is that 741 00:35:32,213 --> 00:35:36,293 Speaker 3: whether her emotional approach and look, everyone, no matter how 742 00:35:36,373 --> 00:35:39,173 Speaker 3: nice she was, would admit that she did use She 743 00:35:39,213 --> 00:35:42,573 Speaker 3: did emotionally manipulate people. That is well documented. Even the 744 00:35:42,573 --> 00:35:45,973 Speaker 3: biggest fans of evil say that. But that emotional public 745 00:35:46,173 --> 00:35:51,573 Speaker 3: response that she put out there affected and enabled other 746 00:35:51,653 --> 00:35:56,253 Speaker 3: people or empowered I guess other politicians going forward to 747 00:35:57,373 --> 00:36:00,212 Speaker 3: hide behind a wall of empathy as well. So when 748 00:36:00,213 --> 00:36:03,293 Speaker 3: something goes down, you just the waterworks come out, and 749 00:36:03,293 --> 00:36:04,733 Speaker 3: then all of a sudden you're allowed to hassle. 750 00:36:04,893 --> 00:36:06,693 Speaker 2: Oh on one hundred and eighty ten eighty, do you 751 00:36:06,733 --> 00:36:08,733 Speaker 2: agree or disagree? It is nine to two. 752 00:36:10,373 --> 00:36:13,933 Speaker 1: Matt heath Tyler Adams taking your calls on eight hundred 753 00:36:14,053 --> 00:36:18,173 Speaker 1: eighty it's mad Heathen Tyler Adams. Afternoons News Talk. 754 00:36:18,013 --> 00:36:23,293 Speaker 2: Said, news Talk said, Robin, very good afternoon to you. 755 00:36:23,333 --> 00:36:24,893 Speaker 2: How are you good? 756 00:36:24,973 --> 00:36:27,253 Speaker 16: Thank you? And I've been thinking about what I wanted 757 00:36:27,253 --> 00:36:30,173 Speaker 16: to say and it suddenly hit me that maybe Donald 758 00:36:30,253 --> 00:36:34,652 Speaker 16: Trump is the opposite and he didn't get that lesson. 759 00:36:36,573 --> 00:36:41,293 Speaker 3: Would say that, which particular lesson is that Robin, Sorry, 760 00:36:41,573 --> 00:36:44,813 Speaker 3: which particular lesson is that Robin empathy? 761 00:36:45,013 --> 00:36:48,373 Speaker 16: That he didn't learn how to be empathetic. So he's 762 00:36:48,413 --> 00:36:50,773 Speaker 16: almost opposite, isn't there, I'm going to do this, I'm 763 00:36:50,813 --> 00:36:52,173 Speaker 16: going to do that. I'm going to do that. 764 00:36:52,413 --> 00:36:55,133 Speaker 3: So you're saying like that, you're saying he's more like 765 00:36:56,253 --> 00:36:57,853 Speaker 3: you're saying Robin that he's more like the Queen. 766 00:36:57,893 --> 00:37:05,053 Speaker 16: Then no, no, he's opposite, extreme to empathetic. I would think, right. 767 00:37:04,933 --> 00:37:07,613 Speaker 3: No, but he but what he does, which is like 768 00:37:07,733 --> 00:37:12,533 Speaker 3: Diana shere his emotions and so you always know how 769 00:37:12,573 --> 00:37:15,973 Speaker 3: he feels about a particular issue. Whereas what we're kind 770 00:37:15,973 --> 00:37:17,853 Speaker 3: of saying is what the Queen did is she kept 771 00:37:17,893 --> 00:37:20,373 Speaker 3: all that behind and tried to be a rock for 772 00:37:21,573 --> 00:37:24,893 Speaker 3: her people. So what her personal emotions never came into play. 773 00:37:24,933 --> 00:37:28,333 Speaker 3: You never knew what they were. She was steady, you know, 774 00:37:28,453 --> 00:37:30,093 Speaker 3: she pledged to be that way, and she was that 775 00:37:30,133 --> 00:37:31,453 Speaker 3: way for seventy five years. 776 00:37:32,453 --> 00:37:35,813 Speaker 16: Thank you for explaining that. And so I will rephrase 777 00:37:36,013 --> 00:37:41,293 Speaker 16: and say that for me, I quite like somebody who 778 00:37:41,693 --> 00:37:45,853 Speaker 16: in you know, that's head of state or head of 779 00:37:46,853 --> 00:37:53,933 Speaker 16: Evan government, not to have not to be like that, 780 00:37:54,493 --> 00:37:58,253 Speaker 16: not to show their emotions all the time. It's times 781 00:37:58,293 --> 00:38:02,773 Speaker 16: where it is important to show emotions. Diana was a wife, 782 00:38:02,893 --> 00:38:06,373 Speaker 16: so that's that's the position. You can actually be like 783 00:38:06,453 --> 00:38:10,533 Speaker 16: that rather than be the one in control. But jas, 784 00:38:10,853 --> 00:38:13,652 Speaker 16: I think we shouldn't really judge. But I think it's 785 00:38:13,693 --> 00:38:16,013 Speaker 16: really wonderful that the person's brought out this book because 786 00:38:16,013 --> 00:38:18,813 Speaker 16: I don't think anybody's ever raised this question, and I 787 00:38:18,853 --> 00:38:20,813 Speaker 16: think it's a question that needs to be raised. 788 00:38:21,133 --> 00:38:22,573 Speaker 3: Oh well, thank you so much for you call Robin. 789 00:38:22,693 --> 00:38:26,453 Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you very much. A couple of texts to finish, Guys, 790 00:38:26,773 --> 00:38:29,773 Speaker 2: we will never see the likes of Queen Elizabeth the 791 00:38:29,813 --> 00:38:34,253 Speaker 2: Ion again. The way media Watch mocked Mike Hosking for 792 00:38:34,333 --> 00:38:36,613 Speaker 2: crying on here when she died exposes them for the 793 00:38:36,613 --> 00:38:40,013 Speaker 2: solest people that they are. Give me a constitutional monarchy 794 00:38:40,133 --> 00:38:42,893 Speaker 2: over socialism any day of the week. 795 00:38:43,293 --> 00:38:45,373 Speaker 3: And this person says, hey, guys, I think Diana was 796 00:38:45,493 --> 00:38:48,253 Speaker 3: very manipulative person. She married into a family knowing Charles 797 00:38:48,293 --> 00:38:50,493 Speaker 3: was in love with Camilla, looks have nothing to do 798 00:38:50,573 --> 00:38:53,212 Speaker 3: with it. He loved Camilla and she loved him end 799 00:38:53,253 --> 00:38:56,493 Speaker 3: of it. And no, I don't think politicians should do 800 00:38:56,533 --> 00:38:58,533 Speaker 3: the sniveling and crying in public. 801 00:38:58,733 --> 00:39:02,613 Speaker 2: Yeah, very good discussion. Really enjoyed that. Right coming up 802 00:39:02,733 --> 00:39:06,293 Speaker 2: after the news at two o'clock, are we taking too 803 00:39:06,453 --> 00:39:10,893 Speaker 2: many things away from young members of our towns. We 804 00:39:10,933 --> 00:39:13,413 Speaker 2: want to have a chat about what they did in Napier. 805 00:39:13,493 --> 00:39:17,533 Speaker 2: They wanted to close the bars an hour earlier, but 806 00:39:17,693 --> 00:39:20,093 Speaker 2: they decided not to do that. But one counselor in 807 00:39:20,133 --> 00:39:23,013 Speaker 2: particular was pretty hot on the fact that they don't 808 00:39:23,013 --> 00:39:26,053 Speaker 2: seem to be catering for the younger members of towns 809 00:39:26,133 --> 00:39:27,973 Speaker 2: around New Zealand. So that is coming up by we 810 00:39:27,973 --> 00:39:29,652 Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to 811 00:39:29,653 --> 00:39:32,853 Speaker 2: call News, Sport and Weather on its way. We'll see 812 00:39:32,893 --> 00:39:42,053 Speaker 2: you on the other side News Talks. It'd be very 813 00:39:42,133 --> 00:39:44,613 Speaker 2: very good Afternoon View All afternoon. 814 00:39:44,893 --> 00:39:48,613 Speaker 1: It's Matt Heathen, Taylor Adams Afternoons News Talk. 815 00:39:48,493 --> 00:39:54,813 Speaker 2: ZIB Good afternoon to you. Welcome into the show. So 816 00:39:55,173 --> 00:39:58,533 Speaker 2: we're going to get into a topic very very shortly, 817 00:39:58,573 --> 00:40:01,293 Speaker 2: the local alcohol policy and Napier they are going to 818 00:40:01,333 --> 00:40:04,333 Speaker 2: retain it at three a m. The bar closing times 819 00:40:04,373 --> 00:40:08,053 Speaker 2: after council reversal. So originally they looked to a c 820 00:40:08,733 --> 00:40:11,573 Speaker 2: those bars at two am instead of three am, but 821 00:40:11,733 --> 00:40:15,373 Speaker 2: after a passionate push by one of their councilors, Richard McGrath, 822 00:40:15,653 --> 00:40:17,373 Speaker 2: they are no longer going to do that, and he 823 00:40:17,413 --> 00:40:18,933 Speaker 2: had a great quote. 824 00:40:18,653 --> 00:40:21,013 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, And it just got me thinking about 825 00:40:21,053 --> 00:40:26,013 Speaker 3: the idea of morality and how currently all the virtue 826 00:40:26,173 --> 00:40:27,733 Speaker 3: is put in the hands of people that try and 827 00:40:27,773 --> 00:40:32,493 Speaker 3: shut down bars and close things early and put restrictions 828 00:40:32,573 --> 00:40:36,613 Speaker 3: on activities. But there is an argument that they are 829 00:40:36,613 --> 00:40:38,173 Speaker 3: not the good guys. And I just thought this was 830 00:40:38,213 --> 00:40:42,053 Speaker 3: a fantastic line from councilor Richard McGrath to his other 831 00:40:42,093 --> 00:40:46,213 Speaker 3: council people. The likes he goes. He looked around the 832 00:40:46,213 --> 00:40:48,693 Speaker 3: council table and making up his mind. The likes of 833 00:40:48,733 --> 00:40:51,172 Speaker 3: the three o'clock in the morning is for eighteen to 834 00:40:51,213 --> 00:40:53,293 Speaker 3: twenty five year olds and that is not us. He said. 835 00:40:53,813 --> 00:40:55,733 Speaker 3: There is only one place in aper open until three 836 00:40:55,773 --> 00:40:57,973 Speaker 3: am and offers a point of difference. You can actually 837 00:40:58,053 --> 00:41:01,173 Speaker 3: go and dance. Not my thing, but for plenty of 838 00:41:01,173 --> 00:41:04,053 Speaker 3: people it is. And perhaps if we go back far 839 00:41:04,213 --> 00:41:06,652 Speaker 3: enough around the table, for some dancing was a big 840 00:41:06,693 --> 00:41:09,093 Speaker 3: thing I'm not prepared to take that away from our 841 00:41:09,093 --> 00:41:11,613 Speaker 3: community who are growing up and doing their thing and 842 00:41:11,693 --> 00:41:13,772 Speaker 3: learning about the world. How are they going to learn 843 00:41:13,773 --> 00:41:16,493 Speaker 3: about the world sitting at home playing on a PlayStation. 844 00:41:17,413 --> 00:41:19,493 Speaker 3: And I just thought that was a really, really good point. 845 00:41:19,533 --> 00:41:23,853 Speaker 3: And anyone surely we know these things from the Footloose 846 00:41:24,013 --> 00:41:26,173 Speaker 3: movie from nineteen eighty four with Kimbo Bacon. It was 847 00:41:26,493 --> 00:41:31,173 Speaker 3: remade recently. Both movies are fantastic movies. But if you 848 00:41:31,173 --> 00:41:33,173 Speaker 3: are a small town and not look, Napier's not that 849 00:41:33,253 --> 00:41:36,693 Speaker 3: smaller town. It's a fantastic place. Napier, it's not the 850 00:41:36,733 --> 00:41:40,173 Speaker 3: biggest place. And it does struggle with the young people leaving. 851 00:41:40,893 --> 00:41:44,733 Speaker 3: So when you do make rules like they're closing bars early, 852 00:41:44,813 --> 00:41:47,493 Speaker 3: so there's so young people walk around and go there's 853 00:41:47,493 --> 00:41:49,732 Speaker 3: no nightlife here, there's nothing for me to do here. 854 00:41:49,773 --> 00:41:53,053 Speaker 3: There's no community here, there's no culture here. They up 855 00:41:53,093 --> 00:41:57,253 Speaker 3: sticks and move to other towns. Is it behoven? I 856 00:41:57,253 --> 00:42:02,133 Speaker 3: guess upon councils and people in charge to make sure 857 00:42:02,253 --> 00:42:05,773 Speaker 3: there are the things available for the young people to 858 00:42:05,853 --> 00:42:09,013 Speaker 3: do that they want to do, such as going out 859 00:42:09,013 --> 00:42:11,533 Speaker 3: to clubs to three am in the morning. Yeah, because 860 00:42:11,613 --> 00:42:14,733 Speaker 3: you know your hometown Nelson, for example, Tyler, you go 861 00:42:14,853 --> 00:42:17,413 Speaker 3: back there and nothing's open that late anymore, is it? 862 00:42:17,413 --> 00:42:20,613 Speaker 2: It's not the same because I think they reversed their decision. 863 00:42:20,613 --> 00:42:22,693 Speaker 2: They had it at three am when I was eighteen, 864 00:42:22,733 --> 00:42:25,093 Speaker 2: and that was great. That was so many people going out. 865 00:42:25,133 --> 00:42:26,893 Speaker 2: There was only about three or four bars, and there's 866 00:42:26,893 --> 00:42:30,133 Speaker 2: still actually a few of closed down Sadley. But then 867 00:42:30,373 --> 00:42:34,413 Speaker 2: the council decided to try and change that and reduced 868 00:42:34,413 --> 00:42:36,573 Speaker 2: it to two am. Then this idea about you know, 869 00:42:36,613 --> 00:42:39,053 Speaker 2: the lock and policy, and what they ended up doing 870 00:42:39,173 --> 00:42:41,453 Speaker 2: is it just started to kill the nightlife. The people 871 00:42:41,493 --> 00:42:44,093 Speaker 2: are Nelson and you go back now and it's dead. 872 00:42:44,253 --> 00:42:45,973 Speaker 2: Last time was in Nelson and I went out on 873 00:42:45,973 --> 00:42:47,773 Speaker 2: a Saturday night to say, I just wonder how the 874 00:42:47,773 --> 00:42:50,693 Speaker 2: old club street is doing these days, and there was 875 00:42:50,733 --> 00:42:51,373 Speaker 2: nothing going on. 876 00:42:51,493 --> 00:42:53,493 Speaker 3: And we're a tourist country, right, So it's not only 877 00:42:53,533 --> 00:42:54,933 Speaker 3: the locals that you don't want to leave the town, 878 00:42:54,973 --> 00:42:56,893 Speaker 3: the young people and you want to give them something 879 00:42:56,893 --> 00:43:00,093 Speaker 3: to do, but it's also tourists. Tourists come to New 880 00:43:00,173 --> 00:43:03,013 Speaker 3: Zealand they go there's absolutely nothing to do. Yeah, and 881 00:43:03,453 --> 00:43:06,453 Speaker 3: that's a really bad lock. It makes us look depressing, 882 00:43:06,573 --> 00:43:09,573 Speaker 3: So do we need to tell the skiddy's that they've 883 00:43:09,573 --> 00:43:12,252 Speaker 3: got it wrong more often. When you tell that more often, 884 00:43:12,333 --> 00:43:14,652 Speaker 3: and do what Nap has done and make sure there 885 00:43:14,733 --> 00:43:18,013 Speaker 3: is places that people can go and have fun. You 886 00:43:18,013 --> 00:43:21,093 Speaker 3: can always describe problems and use them to shut down 887 00:43:21,133 --> 00:43:23,613 Speaker 3: fun and freedom, but it doesn't always make you the 888 00:43:23,613 --> 00:43:26,573 Speaker 3: good guy. Yeah, as I say, wats foot loose? 889 00:43:26,693 --> 00:43:30,692 Speaker 2: Yeah, they can good the karality story. They canceled the dancing, Yeah, 890 00:43:32,373 --> 00:43:33,252 Speaker 2: we know how that ended. 891 00:43:33,573 --> 00:43:33,732 Speaker 11: Well. 892 00:43:33,733 --> 00:43:36,413 Speaker 3: It ended in a very aggressive dance and a factory 893 00:43:36,453 --> 00:43:38,453 Speaker 3: and a very very angry dance in a forest. 894 00:43:38,453 --> 00:43:41,333 Speaker 2: Great music name. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty. Do 895 00:43:41,533 --> 00:43:45,613 Speaker 2: councils have their younger members of their towns and cities 896 00:43:45,653 --> 00:43:49,093 Speaker 2: in mind?

There'll be more to 922 00:45:07,613 --> 00:45:10,533 Speaker 2: come on that story as the afternoon progresses, but in 923 00:45:10,573 --> 00:45:13,093 Speaker 2: the meantime we'll go back to this particular topic that 924 00:45:13,133 --> 00:45:15,093 Speaker 2: we are talking about. It is on the back of 925 00:45:15,173 --> 00:45:19,573 Speaker 2: Napier deciding to reverse their proposed local alcohol policy. That 926 00:45:19,693 --> 00:45:23,293 Speaker 2: policy would have seen their bars close at two am 927 00:45:23,373 --> 00:45:26,293 Speaker 2: instead of three am. They've seen the light and decided 928 00:45:26,333 --> 00:45:29,533 Speaker 2: to keep it at three am. And it was one 929 00:45:29,613 --> 00:45:36,653 Speaker 2: particular quote from their counselor, their counselor rich McGrath, who said, 930 00:45:36,733 --> 00:45:39,533 Speaker 2: I quote, the likes of the three o'clock in the 931 00:45:39,573 --> 00:45:41,853 Speaker 2: morning is for eighteen to twenty five year olds and 932 00:45:41,973 --> 00:45:44,213 Speaker 2: that is not us. There's only one place in Napier 933 00:45:44,253 --> 00:45:47,013 Speaker 2: open till three am, and it offers a point of difference. 934 00:45:47,093 --> 00:45:49,333 Speaker 2: So love to hear your thoughts. Do councils actually look 935 00:45:49,373 --> 00:45:51,693 Speaker 2: after the younger members of these towns? 936 00:45:51,773 --> 00:45:51,973 Speaker 4: Yeah? 937 00:45:52,013 --> 00:45:53,933 Speaker 3: And on the Bob Jones thing, we'll try and get 938 00:45:53,973 --> 00:45:56,133 Speaker 3: hold of Barry Soper, who was a very good friend 939 00:45:56,173 --> 00:45:59,172 Speaker 3: of Bob Jones over many times and commentated on him 940 00:46:00,053 --> 00:46:01,013 Speaker 3: a lot over the years. 941 00:46:01,013 --> 00:46:03,453 Speaker 2: Obviously, Yep, we'll get to him very shortly. But in 942 00:46:03,493 --> 00:46:06,973 Speaker 2: the meantime, Ronder, you're a counselor in Napier, is that right? 943 00:46:07,813 --> 00:46:10,933 Speaker 2: I am good to chat with you. So you were 944 00:46:10,933 --> 00:46:13,772 Speaker 2: in this council meeting, you know your fellow councilor Richard 945 00:46:13,813 --> 00:46:14,652 Speaker 2: McGrath very well. 946 00:46:14,773 --> 00:46:17,653 Speaker 3: Were you four again, We were you four again two 947 00:46:17,693 --> 00:46:23,373 Speaker 3: pm two am or three pm, three am, four three pm, 948 00:46:23,413 --> 00:46:24,973 Speaker 3: three am. 949 00:46:25,053 --> 00:46:27,773 Speaker 17: Richard did a great speech, but he wasn't the only one. 950 00:46:28,093 --> 00:46:30,493 Speaker 17: It's just that they've picked up on one person's speech. 951 00:46:31,453 --> 00:46:35,973 Speaker 17: A lot of us spoke out about, particularly in my 952 00:46:36,013 --> 00:46:39,773 Speaker 17: point of view. I've brought up three boys who've managed 953 00:46:39,773 --> 00:46:43,773 Speaker 17: to make it to the twenties, thank god. And you know, 954 00:46:43,853 --> 00:46:48,413 Speaker 17: going out to local bars is much safer than going 955 00:46:48,493 --> 00:46:51,212 Speaker 17: to the parties that I have gone and picked them 956 00:46:51,293 --> 00:46:56,013 Speaker 17: up from. And that was that was a real probably 957 00:46:56,013 --> 00:46:59,373 Speaker 17: another really strong point that we did, that you're actually 958 00:46:59,413 --> 00:47:02,173 Speaker 17: our young ones, they're actually safer and a premise where 959 00:47:02,293 --> 00:47:05,093 Speaker 17: people looking out for them, watching out for them, the security, 960 00:47:05,293 --> 00:47:10,212 Speaker 17: then they are at a party with no control. So yeah, 961 00:47:10,253 --> 00:47:12,613 Speaker 17: I was totally for keeping it. I grew up here. 962 00:47:12,893 --> 00:47:15,213 Speaker 17: We used to have lots of night here in the 963 00:47:15,253 --> 00:47:18,613 Speaker 17: eighties and nineties. There was lots of fun, and why 964 00:47:18,653 --> 00:47:20,093 Speaker 17: should we take that away from us? 965 00:47:20,373 --> 00:47:24,853 Speaker 3: Do you think, yeah, does it lead to you know, 966 00:47:24,933 --> 00:47:28,093 Speaker 3: young people leaving your town? I mean, Nape is beautiful place, 967 00:47:28,253 --> 00:47:31,413 Speaker 3: fantastic area to live in, but you know, there might 968 00:47:31,453 --> 00:47:33,453 Speaker 3: be other opportunities in other cities. And if there's no 969 00:47:33,573 --> 00:47:36,173 Speaker 3: nightlife for the young people. Do you think that that 970 00:47:36,173 --> 00:47:38,733 Speaker 3: that's you know, a motivation for them to leave to 971 00:47:38,813 --> 00:47:39,773 Speaker 3: bigger places. 972 00:47:40,533 --> 00:47:43,413 Speaker 17: I think the kids leave because you know, kids do leave. 973 00:47:43,533 --> 00:47:46,652 Speaker 17: Or my boys are overseas at the moment. So we 974 00:47:46,733 --> 00:47:48,533 Speaker 17: don't have a university here. We have an e T 975 00:47:48,973 --> 00:47:52,252 Speaker 17: but which does keep some of our young ones here. 976 00:47:52,933 --> 00:47:55,933 Speaker 17: But you know it is they want to go and 977 00:47:55,973 --> 00:47:58,692 Speaker 17: see the big world and other places. Having a night 978 00:47:58,733 --> 00:48:02,652 Speaker 17: life is important, and you know, I think COVID has 979 00:48:02,733 --> 00:48:07,573 Speaker 17: really hurt that industry big time and obay, here our 980 00:48:07,613 --> 00:48:10,853 Speaker 17: hospitality struggling, and so why should we put restrictions on 981 00:48:10,893 --> 00:48:14,013 Speaker 17: them when you know we we need them to keep 982 00:48:14,053 --> 00:48:17,212 Speaker 17: going because I believe that, you know, the tourists will 983 00:48:17,213 --> 00:48:19,893 Speaker 17: come back and the fun will come back hopefully, and 984 00:48:19,933 --> 00:48:21,573 Speaker 17: the places need to be open for that to have. 985 00:48:22,173 --> 00:48:25,453 Speaker 3: And how lame does Hastings look now when they're closing earlier? 986 00:48:26,653 --> 00:48:28,893 Speaker 17: Well, it was one of the debates because they wanted 987 00:48:28,973 --> 00:48:31,333 Speaker 17: us to be the same, because we know we're quite 988 00:48:31,333 --> 00:48:34,933 Speaker 17: close together, but why should we be the same.

Anyone's 1137 00:56:20,053 --> 00:56:22,333 Speaker 3: specific ones that you can remember around that time. 1138 00:56:23,613 --> 00:56:27,453 Speaker 18: Well, I remember the foundation of the New Zealand Party 1139 00:56:28,053 --> 00:56:33,813 Speaker 18: and it was a wonderful for the media because the 1140 00:56:33,853 --> 00:56:35,933 Speaker 18: media I don't think I've ever been locked after as 1141 00:56:35,933 --> 00:56:40,213 Speaker 18: well at any political conference that the wine and the 1142 00:56:40,213 --> 00:56:42,493 Speaker 18: beer flowed throughout the conference. 1143 00:56:42,533 --> 00:56:44,253 Speaker 11: The food was sublime. 1144 00:56:44,453 --> 00:56:48,093 Speaker 18: So Bob really knew how to look after the media, 1145 00:56:48,213 --> 00:56:52,293 Speaker 18: even though he got frustrated with the media very much. 1146 00:56:52,133 --> 00:56:53,373 Speaker 11: So from time to time. 1147 00:56:53,853 --> 00:56:56,453 Speaker 18: But when it came when it came to the election, 1148 00:56:57,613 --> 00:57:01,493 Speaker 18: you know, Bob was in his element and he spoke 1149 00:57:02,333 --> 00:57:06,413 Speaker 18: when he was on stage very quietly for him and 1150 00:57:06,493 --> 00:57:10,772 Speaker 18: quite deliberately, a man who got his message across, and 1151 00:57:11,133 --> 00:57:15,093 Speaker 18: no one left any meeting not understanding what Bob Jones meant. 1152 00:57:15,293 --> 00:57:17,893 Speaker 3: Yeah, I had a great story and you can maybe 1153 00:57:17,933 --> 00:57:19,933 Speaker 3: confirm or deny this, but it was on the way 1154 00:57:19,973 --> 00:57:22,613 Speaker 3: to a television debate and Bob Jones was going to 1155 00:57:22,653 --> 00:57:27,853 Speaker 3: debate David Longi and Rob Muldoon And as he was 1156 00:57:27,893 --> 00:57:30,693 Speaker 3: being driven in, Bob Jones noticed that he was had 1157 00:57:30,693 --> 00:57:33,973 Speaker 3: pulled up beside the car of Rob Muldoon and for 1158 00:57:34,013 --> 00:57:35,973 Speaker 3: a joke, he got his driver to give it a 1159 00:57:35,973 --> 00:57:39,173 Speaker 3: little bang. He got us drive to turn into it 1160 00:57:39,173 --> 00:57:41,573 Speaker 3: and give it a little bang and then drove off. 1161 00:57:41,973 --> 00:57:43,173 Speaker 3: Do you know if that's true. 1162 00:57:44,053 --> 00:57:47,693 Speaker 18: Well, I've heard the story, but look, I would have 1163 00:57:47,813 --> 00:57:51,453 Speaker 18: my doubts about it because it will have been an LTD. 1164 00:57:52,053 --> 00:57:55,453 Speaker 11: In those days that Muldoon cohorts. 1165 00:57:55,453 --> 00:57:59,293 Speaker 18: She used to get around it, and they were revered cards, 1166 00:57:59,653 --> 00:58:02,213 Speaker 18: and I think it would take even somebody bigger than 1167 00:58:02,253 --> 00:58:05,373 Speaker 18: Bob Jones to nudge one of those cars. 1168 00:58:05,493 --> 00:58:09,413 Speaker 2: Yeah, he had obviously a competitive public image Bowie, but 1169 00:58:09,453 --> 00:58:11,933 Speaker 2: also a wicked sense of humor. But from what you're saying, 1170 00:58:11,973 --> 00:58:14,133 Speaker 2: it sounds like he didn't hold a grudge if he 1171 00:58:14,213 --> 00:58:14,973 Speaker 2: if he could help it. 1172 00:58:16,253 --> 00:58:17,053 Speaker 11: No, he didn't. 1173 00:58:17,253 --> 00:58:20,493 Speaker 18: Actually some people that he held a grudge for, but 1174 00:58:21,373 --> 00:58:27,173 Speaker 18: probably the ones that he have grudges were fairly deserved, 1175 00:58:27,213 --> 00:58:31,213 Speaker 18: I would imagine. But no, Bob was not unlike dare 1176 00:58:31,213 --> 00:58:34,453 Speaker 18: I say it another old mate who's in politics, Winston Peters. 1177 00:58:34,853 --> 00:58:38,413 Speaker 18: That Peters and I have had, you would have to say, 1178 00:58:38,613 --> 00:58:44,653 Speaker 18: a volatile relationship over the years. But Bob, like Winston Peters, 1179 00:58:45,133 --> 00:58:50,893 Speaker 18: they generally wouldn't hold grudges and would get over things. 1180 00:58:50,973 --> 00:58:54,293 Speaker 18: And Bob was very like that. He wrote a very 1181 00:58:54,293 --> 00:58:57,613 Speaker 18: good column He used to write very good columns up 1182 00:58:57,693 --> 00:59:02,693 Speaker 18: until relatively recently online and that was rather ironic in itself. 1183 00:59:03,013 --> 00:59:07,893 Speaker 18: And that Bob he never liked much to do with 1184 00:59:08,013 --> 00:59:10,893 Speaker 18: teak And if you were at a dinner table with 1185 00:59:10,973 --> 00:59:13,853 Speaker 18: him with a cell phone, the likelihood is that the 1186 00:59:13,893 --> 00:59:15,893 Speaker 18: cell phone would end up on the water. 1187 00:59:16,053 --> 00:59:17,933 Speaker 11: Joe. He hated them so much. 1188 00:59:18,573 --> 00:59:21,573 Speaker 3: Yeah, he once reached out to me though by an email, 1189 00:59:21,613 --> 00:59:23,573 Speaker 3: to complain about my grammar and an article I wrote 1190 00:59:23,573 --> 00:59:27,653 Speaker 3: for the Herald. So he was very very staunch on grammar. 1191 00:59:27,973 --> 00:59:30,653 Speaker 3: So you know, one of the most famous instants in 1192 00:59:31,333 --> 00:59:35,253 Speaker 3: his in his legacy, I guess, is the Rod Vaughan situation. 1193 00:59:36,493 --> 00:59:39,493 Speaker 3: How do you remember that going down back in the day. 1194 00:59:40,413 --> 00:59:44,093 Speaker 18: Well, I remember when Bob was he was convicted of 1195 00:59:44,093 --> 00:59:47,773 Speaker 18: assault for it. And find two thousand dollars, and he 1196 00:59:47,853 --> 00:59:50,573 Speaker 18: said to the judge, can I pay another two thousand 1197 00:59:50,653 --> 00:59:51,933 Speaker 18: dollars and do it over again? 1198 00:59:53,493 --> 00:59:55,533 Speaker 2: Of course, you know, great sad to hear. 1199 00:59:55,573 --> 00:59:57,173 Speaker 11: I don't know what the judge thought if he didn't 1200 00:59:57,173 --> 00:59:59,173 Speaker 11: allow him. It didn't allow him to pay it. 1201 00:59:59,213 --> 01:00:05,453 Speaker 18: But no, again, it'll be interesting if Vard was around, 1202 01:00:06,173 --> 01:00:10,453 Speaker 18: which I don't think he is unfortunately, but he and 1203 01:00:10,493 --> 01:00:14,413 Speaker 18: Bob probably I would imagined and patched things up. Bob 1204 01:00:14,573 --> 01:00:19,973 Speaker 18: was really hosed off about his fishing spot, upset by 1205 01:00:20,013 --> 01:00:22,813 Speaker 18: the blades of a helicopter and that's what really pissed 1206 01:00:22,853 --> 01:00:25,813 Speaker 18: him off, and that's why he said upon the journalist. 1207 01:00:26,013 --> 01:00:28,773 Speaker 3: Well, he was a huge boxing enthusiast, Sir Bob Jones, 1208 01:00:28,853 --> 01:00:32,293 Speaker 3: wasn't he? And that punch did actually break Rodvaughn's nose, 1209 01:00:32,333 --> 01:00:35,053 Speaker 3: so obviously had some skills. So that was a lifelong 1210 01:00:35,693 --> 01:00:39,413 Speaker 3: love and he was involved and Joseph Parker early on 1211 01:00:39,893 --> 01:00:41,133 Speaker 3: as well, wasn't he Bob Jones? 1212 01:00:41,213 --> 01:00:45,213 Speaker 18: Yes, Well, he started boxing when he was at university, 1213 01:00:45,853 --> 01:00:51,453 Speaker 18: and indeed he was the university lightweight boxing champion I 1214 01:00:51,453 --> 01:00:53,333 Speaker 18: think for a number of years. 1215 01:00:53,733 --> 01:00:56,453 Speaker 11: So he was very deaft with his fists. There's no 1216 01:00:56,453 --> 01:00:57,053 Speaker 11: doubt about that. 1217 01:00:57,173 --> 01:00:59,573 Speaker 18: But the only time he used them, as to my 1218 01:00:59,733 --> 01:01:04,053 Speaker 18: knowledge and anger, was against Rod Vaughan on that fateful day. 1219 01:01:04,053 --> 01:01:07,973 Speaker 3: And to Rangie, yes, So if you could, and putting 1220 01:01:07,973 --> 01:01:10,413 Speaker 3: on this bot here, you know, sum up your thoughts 1221 01:01:10,533 --> 01:01:14,893 Speaker 3: on Sir Bob Jones, you know, personally and publicly in 1222 01:01:14,933 --> 01:01:17,213 Speaker 3: a couple of sentences, that would be awesome. 1223 01:01:17,933 --> 01:01:18,293 Speaker 4: Barry. 1224 01:01:19,613 --> 01:01:23,093 Speaker 18: Well, I'm very sadden that Bob is no longer around 1225 01:01:23,093 --> 01:01:27,893 Speaker 18: because he was a character plus and a very enjoyable 1226 01:01:27,973 --> 01:01:32,093 Speaker 18: company A laugh a minute, and I think the world 1227 01:01:32,133 --> 01:01:36,013 Speaker 18: won't be quite the same, certainly for me, without Bob 1228 01:01:36,093 --> 01:01:36,933 Speaker 18: Jones being in it. 1229 01:01:37,253 --> 01:01:40,053 Speaker 2: Yeah, Barry, thank you very much for having a chat 1230 01:01:40,093 --> 01:01:42,773 Speaker 2: with us.

So how did you 1463 01:13:15,133 --> 01:13:16,333 Speaker 3: first get to know Sir. 1464 01:13:16,213 --> 01:13:19,812 Speaker 4: Bob well Years ago? I was doing a show called 1465 01:13:19,812 --> 01:13:22,053 Speaker 4: Eating Media Lunch and a lot of it used to 1466 01:13:22,133 --> 01:13:25,852 Speaker 4: be archive based, and when we'd look at some archives stuff, 1467 01:13:25,893 --> 01:13:30,172 Speaker 4: Bob Jones featured very, very heavily, particularly through the nineteen 1468 01:13:30,213 --> 01:13:33,772 Speaker 4: seventies and then into the nineteen eighties, the early to 1469 01:13:33,812 --> 01:13:36,452 Speaker 4: mid nineteen eighties with the formation of the New Zealand Party, 1470 01:13:37,093 --> 01:13:42,732 Speaker 4: and so he was heland large over the New Zealand 1471 01:13:42,772 --> 01:13:45,492 Speaker 4: political landscape. Fact just open news in landscape as a whole. 1472 01:13:45,492 --> 01:13:47,133 Speaker 4: So we thought it'd be a great person to reach 1473 01:13:47,133 --> 01:13:49,093 Speaker 4: out and talk to it. When you did reach out 1474 01:13:49,133 --> 01:13:50,692 Speaker 4: to Bob Jones, this is the thing you call him 1475 01:13:50,772 --> 01:13:53,612 Speaker 4: up on his landline at home, and he's always an't 1476 01:13:53,652 --> 01:13:56,173 Speaker 4: to the phone and he'd have a chat to you, 1477 01:13:56,333 --> 01:13:58,893 Speaker 4: and he always gave you time. And so I was 1478 01:13:58,973 --> 01:14:02,133 Speaker 4: very really lucky that he gave me a bit of 1479 01:14:02,133 --> 01:14:03,852 Speaker 4: time over the years, and I got to intertraim a 1480 01:14:03,853 --> 01:14:05,772 Speaker 4: few times and got to go to his house and 1481 01:14:05,812 --> 01:14:06,612 Speaker 4: all sorts of stuff. 1482 01:14:06,853 --> 01:14:09,933 Speaker 3: What was he like to spend time I'm worth personally 1483 01:14:10,053 --> 01:14:13,412 Speaker 3: outside of the public image. 1484 01:14:12,572 --> 01:14:18,053 Speaker 4: Well, he is incredibly affable and very hospitable. When he 1485 01:14:18,093 --> 01:14:19,852 Speaker 4: went to his house, I went over there once and 1486 01:14:20,732 --> 01:14:22,532 Speaker 4: he made lunch for us. Well he didn't make lunch, 1487 01:14:22,612 --> 01:14:27,572 Speaker 4: but has made lunch for us and he was walking around. 1488 01:14:27,652 --> 01:14:31,412 Speaker 4: He shared so much of himself. He was a great wreck, 1489 01:14:31,933 --> 01:14:35,452 Speaker 4: an amazing conversationalist, even if at times it was more 1490 01:14:35,492 --> 01:14:37,812 Speaker 4: of a listening exercise for the other person involved in 1491 01:14:37,812 --> 01:14:41,372 Speaker 4: the conversation. You were definitely happy to listen because his 1492 01:14:41,492 --> 01:14:44,732 Speaker 4: stories were second to none. I mean, his Muldoon's stories 1493 01:14:44,772 --> 01:14:47,333 Speaker 4: were next level. Because of course he was great mates 1494 01:14:47,333 --> 01:14:49,652 Speaker 4: with Muldoon and then formed the New Zealand Party in 1495 01:14:49,732 --> 01:14:52,492 Speaker 4: nineteen eighty three because he didn't believe what Muldoon was 1496 01:14:52,532 --> 01:14:55,333 Speaker 4: doing was right and essentially split the vote and really 1497 01:14:55,412 --> 01:14:58,372 Speaker 4: changed New Zealand history. I mean, is there a man 1498 01:14:59,013 --> 01:15:02,372 Speaker 4: who's changed New Zealand politics more? I'm not sure. 1499 01:15:02,532 --> 01:15:06,452 Speaker 3: It would have been a very different country if Muldoon 1500 01:15:06,532 --> 01:15:09,132 Speaker 3: had got back. And you've told me a great story 1501 01:15:09,133 --> 01:15:12,253 Speaker 3: in the past that that's I think it's hilarious. And 1502 01:15:13,372 --> 01:15:15,973 Speaker 3: you and Sir Bob Jones are smoking cigars and a 1503 01:15:16,013 --> 01:15:19,373 Speaker 3: TV and Z studio long after that was the considered 1504 01:15:19,412 --> 01:15:20,452 Speaker 3: an absolute crime. 1505 01:15:22,452 --> 01:15:24,093 Speaker 4: We set up an interview with him, and we thought 1506 01:15:24,093 --> 01:15:26,092 Speaker 4: it would be good to do it like a nineteen 1507 01:15:26,173 --> 01:15:28,973 Speaker 4: seventies interview in black and white, so we created a 1508 01:15:29,013 --> 01:15:31,093 Speaker 4: set that looked like a nineteen seventies set, and then 1509 01:15:31,093 --> 01:15:33,772 Speaker 4: we approached TV and Z. Of course strict no smoking 1510 01:15:33,853 --> 01:15:36,093 Speaker 4: rules of TV and ZED in the studios in the 1511 01:15:36,772 --> 01:15:40,173 Speaker 4: late nineties early two thousands understandably, but we asked for 1512 01:15:40,173 --> 01:15:44,852 Speaker 4: an exemption and in a strange tournam events, they allowed 1513 01:15:44,933 --> 01:15:47,133 Speaker 4: us to smoke cigars in the studios. I don't think 1514 01:15:47,173 --> 01:15:50,652 Speaker 4: that'll ever happen again. So we drank red wine chatted away. 1515 01:15:51,173 --> 01:15:53,572 Speaker 4: The planned interview was about half an hour long. It 1516 01:15:53,692 --> 01:15:55,253 Speaker 4: went for an hour and a half because once Bob 1517 01:15:55,293 --> 01:15:58,572 Speaker 4: started talking, you couldn't stop them, and we ended up 1518 01:15:58,612 --> 01:16:01,612 Speaker 4: polishing off two bottles of wine. Next thing you know, 1519 01:16:01,652 --> 01:16:03,652 Speaker 4: he said to me, he goes, Jeremy, I've got to 1520 01:16:03,652 --> 01:16:06,532 Speaker 4: go and meet Barrymore. So come with me. You're coming 1521 01:16:06,532 --> 01:16:07,973 Speaker 4: with me. We're going to meet Barrymore. I've got to 1522 01:16:08,013 --> 01:16:10,452 Speaker 4: go to a speech. And the blab I mean, he was, 1523 01:16:10,772 --> 01:16:12,612 Speaker 4: you know, he's a couple of of the wine deep. 1524 01:16:12,692 --> 01:16:14,253 Speaker 4: Next thing you know, I'm out. I'm going out to 1525 01:16:14,293 --> 01:16:17,173 Speaker 4: Barrymore's house with him. He's dragging me around somewhere else. 1526 01:16:17,893 --> 01:16:20,972 Speaker 4: But that's the kind of guy he was. He as 1527 01:16:20,973 --> 01:16:23,333 Speaker 4: soon as he kind of sussed you out quite quickly, 1528 01:16:23,333 --> 01:16:25,173 Speaker 4: and if he decided that he liked you, after that, 1529 01:16:25,893 --> 01:16:27,173 Speaker 4: there was nothing he didn't share. 1530 01:16:28,133 --> 01:16:30,452 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I've heard stories of people banging on 1531 01:16:30,492 --> 01:16:32,452 Speaker 3: the doors of that studio trying to get in because 1532 01:16:32,492 --> 01:16:35,652 Speaker 3: even though it was sanctioned that you could be smoking cigars, 1533 01:16:35,692 --> 01:16:37,452 Speaker 3: only not the whole company was buying. 1534 01:16:39,173 --> 01:16:39,372 Speaker 21: Yeah. 1535 01:16:39,372 --> 01:16:43,013 Speaker 4: Well, once we went to his Wellington office and he 1536 01:16:43,213 --> 01:16:45,213 Speaker 4: invited us up there for drinks, and so we went 1537 01:16:45,293 --> 01:16:48,133 Speaker 4: up there and it's a huge office, I mean it 1538 01:16:48,173 --> 01:16:51,772 Speaker 4: was giant, big drinks cabinet, and poured us a glass 1539 01:16:51,772 --> 01:16:53,492 Speaker 4: of wine and then I saw I said, I did 1540 01:16:53,492 --> 01:16:54,973 Speaker 4: you make this had a huge balcony. I said, do 1541 01:16:54,973 --> 01:16:56,133 Speaker 4: you mind if I go and have a cigarette in 1542 01:16:56,133 --> 01:17:00,532 Speaker 4: the balcony? Is Nate you must smoke inside? I said no, 1543 01:17:00,532 --> 01:17:02,333 Speaker 4: I'd rather smoke outside of smoking at the time. He 1544 01:17:02,372 --> 01:17:06,092 Speaker 4: said no, no, no, I insist you have to smoke inside. 1545 01:17:06,213 --> 01:17:09,293 Speaker 4: So he forced you to smoke and side. He was 1546 01:17:09,412 --> 01:17:12,093 Speaker 4: very funny as a sad loss and I feel for 1547 01:17:12,133 --> 01:17:12,652 Speaker 4: his family. 1548 01:17:13,532 --> 01:17:17,492 Speaker 3: So, Jeremy, we've had we've had someone text throw and 1549 01:17:17,532 --> 01:17:20,452 Speaker 3: that news of Bob Jones and has put the man 1550 01:17:20,532 --> 01:17:22,612 Speaker 3: in order in this fashion. And see if you agree 1551 01:17:22,652 --> 01:17:33,133 Speaker 3: with that? He said, businessman, drinker, politician, author, boxing fan, drinker, philanthropist, smoker. 1552 01:17:33,372 --> 01:17:34,652 Speaker 3: Would you agree with that order? 1553 01:17:36,173 --> 01:17:39,812 Speaker 4: He definitely did all of those things. Tricky, tricky to 1554 01:17:39,933 --> 01:17:41,652 Speaker 4: know which order to put them in. I think it 1555 01:17:41,732 --> 01:17:43,812 Speaker 4: sort of depends on how he's feeling at the time. 1556 01:17:44,173 --> 01:17:45,772 Speaker 4: I think at one stage we went around to his 1557 01:17:45,812 --> 01:17:48,053 Speaker 4: place and he said, I've given up the bozer. Dog 1558 01:17:48,133 --> 01:17:50,133 Speaker 4: just told me that's not good for me. And then 1559 01:17:50,173 --> 01:17:53,093 Speaker 4: by about by about an hour into it, he said, 1560 01:17:53,093 --> 01:17:57,412 Speaker 4: should be crack into a red So we're having a 1561 01:17:57,492 --> 01:18:01,093 Speaker 4: glass of glass of red wine.

The 1611 01:20:15,532 --> 01:20:18,852 Speaker 3: officer was called It was Ken McLeod, and they ended 1612 01:20:18,933 --> 01:20:23,372 Speaker 3: up becoming friends after Bob Jones absolutely ripped into him 1613 01:20:23,412 --> 01:20:26,852 Speaker 3: and gave his number on the radio show, and Bob 1614 01:20:26,893 --> 01:20:30,973 Speaker 3: wrote a lovely obituary when Ken passed. So there you go, 1615 01:20:31,133 --> 01:20:31,732 Speaker 3: that is lovely. 1616 01:20:31,853 --> 01:20:34,333 Speaker 2: Yeah, Phil, you've got a story about Sir Bob. 1617 01:20:35,652 --> 01:20:36,732 Speaker 10: Yeah, I don't know. 1618 01:20:36,933 --> 01:20:40,093 Speaker 21: It might be the fishing trip one, but I think 1619 01:20:40,093 --> 01:20:43,213 Speaker 21: it's possibly a different one. But just before I do, 1620 01:20:43,412 --> 01:20:45,293 Speaker 21: I was thinking, like, I don't know how to put it, 1621 01:20:45,372 --> 01:20:47,892 Speaker 21: but I was going to say, what a sort of 1622 01:20:47,973 --> 01:20:50,572 Speaker 21: nice way to die at home, surrounded by your family 1623 01:20:50,612 --> 01:20:52,253 Speaker 21: and your own home, you know, if you're going to 1624 01:20:52,293 --> 01:20:57,093 Speaker 21: go out. Yeah, yeah, I couldn't think of a better, 1625 01:20:57,253 --> 01:21:01,133 Speaker 21: better way. But yeah, like Verry Soper said, because this 1626 01:21:01,253 --> 01:21:03,972 Speaker 21: story I think was sort of how he was quite 1627 01:21:04,372 --> 01:21:07,572 Speaker 21: he sounded. I made me think he was quite force right, 1628 01:21:07,612 --> 01:21:10,053 Speaker 21: and like he saved said, you knew he left you 1629 01:21:10,173 --> 01:21:12,053 Speaker 21: no doubt what he was talking about, if he had 1630 01:21:12,053 --> 01:21:15,293 Speaker 21: an opinion a sort of thing. But I heard I 1631 01:21:15,333 --> 01:21:17,213 Speaker 21: think it was on the TV that I heard him. 1632 01:21:17,333 --> 01:21:19,412 Speaker 21: It was either him being interviewed. I might have been 1633 01:21:19,412 --> 01:21:21,652 Speaker 21: watching him being interviewed, and at the time he had 1634 01:21:21,652 --> 01:21:24,812 Speaker 21: got into a bit of strife, and I think it 1635 01:21:24,812 --> 01:21:27,933 Speaker 21: was Bob Jones, because I think he had gone overseas 1636 01:21:27,973 --> 01:21:30,293 Speaker 21: and hired out a section of a river on some 1637 01:21:30,412 --> 01:21:35,093 Speaker 21: wealthy English farm or countryside and somehow got in the 1638 01:21:35,213 --> 01:21:38,253 Speaker 21: headlines or whatever, you know, and the guy was interview 1639 01:21:38,293 --> 01:21:40,013 Speaker 21: was hitting him up about that, saying, oh he's a 1640 01:21:40,053 --> 01:21:42,492 Speaker 21: bit extravagant, isn't it. You know, how who do you think? 1641 01:21:42,572 --> 01:21:45,492 Speaker 21: You know, Yeah, your high this whole river and shut 1642 01:21:45,572 --> 01:21:47,652 Speaker 21: it off, you know, to no one else, conflesing that 1643 01:21:47,772 --> 01:21:51,133 Speaker 21: sort of thing. And I can't remember who he said, 1644 01:21:51,133 --> 01:21:53,492 Speaker 21: but he said back to the interview he said, oh, well, 1645 01:21:53,532 --> 01:21:55,452 Speaker 21: you know, maybe it is sort of thing, but he 1646 01:21:55,933 --> 01:21:58,173 Speaker 21: tried to deflect the sort of heat off. And I 1647 01:21:58,173 --> 01:22:00,412 Speaker 21: suppose he said, and I can't remember who the guy was, 1648 01:22:00,452 --> 01:22:04,772 Speaker 21: It might have been rich White, Fay Rich White or 1649 01:22:04,812 --> 01:22:08,333 Speaker 21: some big, big mobile guy who owned the media or something. 1650 01:22:08,732 --> 01:22:10,492 Speaker 21: He said, well, at least it's not as bad as 1651 01:22:10,492 --> 01:22:12,532 Speaker 21: this Spellow, who I can't remember. 1652 01:22:13,093 --> 01:22:14,253 Speaker 5: Quite as well as Richway. 1653 01:22:14,253 --> 01:22:16,293 Speaker 21: He said, well, at least it's not as bad as 1654 01:22:16,293 --> 01:22:20,053 Speaker 21: this speller rich White will say, who ran out of 1655 01:22:20,053 --> 01:22:22,532 Speaker 21: petfrell going and his car ran out of petrol going 1656 01:22:22,612 --> 01:22:24,452 Speaker 21: over the Auckland Bridge. So he just hopped out and 1657 01:22:24,572 --> 01:22:27,052 Speaker 21: left the car and walked off and and brought another one. 1658 01:22:27,293 --> 01:22:29,732 Speaker 3: I remember that story, was that Ray Widwright that did that? 1659 01:22:29,853 --> 01:22:32,173 Speaker 3: Because I remember that famous story growing up in Dneed 1660 01:22:32,213 --> 01:22:34,053 Speaker 3: and that I thought it was we heard this down 1661 01:22:34,133 --> 01:22:38,133 Speaker 3: in Dunedin that a guy driving a Porsche just ran 1662 01:22:38,133 --> 01:22:39,652 Speaker 3: out of gasole on the Oakland to have a bridge 1663 01:22:39,652 --> 01:22:43,452 Speaker 3: and abandoned the car. I didn't know that was Ray Ridgewright. 1664 01:22:44,372 --> 01:22:47,412 Speaker 21: Well, I'm not one hundred percent sure on that, because 1665 01:22:47,732 --> 01:22:49,412 Speaker 21: my memory is a bit patchy on the story. If 1666 01:22:49,412 --> 01:22:51,692 Speaker 21: I always remember him saying like, wow, not as bad 1667 01:22:51,692 --> 01:22:54,572 Speaker 21: as this guy who was super wealthaid he just ran 1668 01:22:54,572 --> 01:22:56,652 Speaker 21: out of petrol and just left his car in the 1669 01:22:56,692 --> 01:22:59,253 Speaker 21: middle of the Auckland Bridge.

Yes, when Rod Vaughn rocked up 1673 01:23:10,492 --> 01:23:14,372 Speaker 3: on a helicopter. And I think that the punch was 1674 01:23:14,452 --> 01:23:18,852 Speaker 3: primarily for the damage it was doing to Bob Bob's fishing. 1675 01:23:18,973 --> 01:23:21,492 Speaker 2: Yeah, according to Barry Soaper, which makes a lot of sense, 1676 01:23:22,372 --> 01:23:24,692 Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to call. 1677 01:23:24,732 --> 01:23:26,972 Speaker 2: Gidde guys.

Bob had unbeknownst to me that I'd been 1983 01:38:41,333 --> 01:38:46,372 Speaker 5: trying to contact or he was Bob in those days 1984 01:38:46,572 --> 01:38:50,213 Speaker 5: and tur inter viewing, and he just really wanted up 1985 01:38:50,213 --> 01:38:52,372 Speaker 5: at a piece and quiet and get away from the media. 1986 01:38:53,093 --> 01:38:57,692 Speaker 5: He had achieved commencing what he had done with that party. 1987 01:38:58,452 --> 01:39:01,053 Speaker 5: It commits what he wanted to achieve, and he was 1988 01:39:01,333 --> 01:39:04,812 Speaker 5: treated treated to the Tongra River to enjoy a bit 1989 01:39:04,853 --> 01:39:08,692 Speaker 5: of quiet fishing. And we pretty readily interrupt, did they? 1990 01:39:11,253 --> 01:39:13,132 Speaker 3: Yeah, because when you look at the footage, it looks 1991 01:39:13,213 --> 01:39:16,732 Speaker 3: like you flew over the top of him first with 1992 01:39:16,772 --> 01:39:21,892 Speaker 3: the cameraman filming before you landed to let the Rod 1993 01:39:21,933 --> 01:39:25,412 Speaker 3: Vaughn and the cameraman out.

They somehow knew that 1996 01:39:30,133 --> 01:39:33,333 Speaker 5: he was on the river, and I assume from that 1997 01:39:33,333 --> 01:39:36,532 Speaker 5: that that had been pre arranged. But it was a 1998 01:39:36,532 --> 01:39:39,892 Speaker 5: bit of a surprise later when it obviously hadn't been 1999 01:39:39,933 --> 01:39:42,972 Speaker 5: pre arranged when the urgent drop place when they tried 2000 01:39:42,973 --> 01:39:47,452 Speaker 5: to interview him. That was a less welcoming for the 2001 01:39:47,532 --> 01:39:48,492 Speaker 5: TV crew. 2002 01:39:48,772 --> 01:39:50,933 Speaker 2: I bet. And so where were you, John? Were you 2003 01:39:51,053 --> 01:39:54,812 Speaker 2: and the and the chopper when Sir Bob launches out 2004 01:39:54,893 --> 01:39:57,572 Speaker 2: of the bushes and runs straight at Rod Vaughn. 2005 01:39:59,772 --> 01:40:03,293 Speaker 5: Correct? I was carrying in the helicopter keeping the east 2006 01:40:03,333 --> 01:40:06,053 Speaker 5: and running getting ready to take off and leave the 2007 01:40:06,093 --> 01:40:08,492 Speaker 5: scene as quickly as I could. I did from one 2008 01:40:08,572 --> 01:40:11,052 Speaker 5: moment when I first started, I thought, well, you can't 2009 01:40:11,053 --> 01:40:14,732 Speaker 5: do that. I need to stop that. But he was 2010 01:40:14,853 --> 01:40:17,213 Speaker 5: even though he was stressed up and all his fishing 2011 01:40:17,253 --> 01:40:22,452 Speaker 5: gear and parkers, he effects right born pretty quickly and 2012 01:40:22,452 --> 01:40:25,732 Speaker 5: then attempted to snatch the camera off the cameraman and 2013 01:40:26,253 --> 01:40:28,933 Speaker 5: I assume the attempt to throd in the river, but 2014 01:40:29,013 --> 01:40:33,572 Speaker 5: the cameraman held onto that quite firmly, and I was 2015 01:40:33,572 --> 01:40:35,372 Speaker 5: trying to get them in the helicopter and get out 2016 01:40:35,372 --> 01:40:37,452 Speaker 5: of there, because by that time I was aware of 2017 01:40:37,452 --> 01:40:42,892 Speaker 5: that we weren't welcome and it wasn't going to be 2018 01:40:42,933 --> 01:40:46,133 Speaker 5: good for anyone involved. And of course it subsequently ended 2019 01:40:46,213 --> 01:40:50,852 Speaker 5: up and charges of assault and all sorts of nonsense 2020 01:40:50,893 --> 01:40:55,133 Speaker 5: going on, and I was interviewed several times by the 2021 01:40:55,173 --> 01:40:57,652 Speaker 5: police to be pretty careful what I said and did. 2022 01:40:58,293 --> 01:41:00,572 Speaker 3: Yeah, and hadly your fault.

Some 2113 01:45:34,973 --> 01:45:36,492 Speaker 2: great texts coming through. We'll get to a few of 2114 01:45:36,492 --> 01:45:38,932 Speaker 2: those in a minute. But Jeremy, you used to fish 2115 01:45:38,973 --> 01:45:39,692 Speaker 2: with su Bob. 2116 01:45:40,973 --> 01:45:45,293 Speaker 6: Yes, Well, good afternoon everybody and listeners, etc. I was 2117 01:45:45,612 --> 01:45:50,333 Speaker 6: had the pleasure of meeting Robert Jones and Too Ringy 2118 01:45:50,412 --> 01:45:56,932 Speaker 6: and the company of my father I pen Rice years ago, 2119 01:45:58,253 --> 01:46:00,372 Speaker 6: who was the bank manager at why Ca and I 2120 01:46:01,333 --> 01:46:04,412 Speaker 6: but also at tie Happy. So then the congregation of 2121 01:46:05,333 --> 01:46:09,812 Speaker 6: those men around those situations would meet at Too Ranging 2122 01:46:09,853 --> 01:46:15,812 Speaker 6: and then of course Sabob would commander Major Jones Paul. 2123 01:46:15,812 --> 01:46:17,612 Speaker 6: But there are the other men fishing, et cetera. And 2124 01:46:17,612 --> 01:46:20,732 Speaker 6: then those men were notable men and very good men 2125 01:46:20,772 --> 01:46:24,492 Speaker 6: on the fly at four am in the morning and 2126 01:46:24,652 --> 01:46:29,412 Speaker 6: then quite perilous conditions, et cetera. And then watching all 2127 01:46:29,452 --> 01:46:33,293 Speaker 6: of those sorts of things and then having some mild 2128 01:46:33,293 --> 01:46:34,772 Speaker 6: discussions with those guys. 2129 01:46:34,812 --> 01:46:36,093 Speaker 4: They got on very very well. 2130 01:46:36,652 --> 01:46:41,213 Speaker 6: And of course there was lots of cigarette smoking et cetera, 2131 01:46:42,532 --> 01:46:46,293 Speaker 6: because he was you know, he was a smoke and 2132 01:46:46,293 --> 01:46:48,892 Speaker 6: so was my father, et cetera. And you know, they 2133 01:46:48,933 --> 01:46:53,093 Speaker 6: could be walking the waterways, et cetera, and then you know, 2134 01:46:53,173 --> 01:46:56,452 Speaker 6: occasional courts. But you were dead right in the summary 2135 01:46:56,532 --> 01:47:00,093 Speaker 6: that you've given previously, he was a very private man, etcetera. 2136 01:47:00,652 --> 01:47:03,333 Speaker 6: But then I know from being the son of a 2137 01:47:03,372 --> 01:47:06,012 Speaker 6: bank manager et cetera, and then having the acquaintance et cetera, 2138 01:47:06,093 --> 01:47:08,133 Speaker 6: and sitting on the outside that he was a very 2139 01:47:08,853 --> 01:47:13,452 Speaker 6: he was a very generous and kind and empathetic person 2140 01:47:13,732 --> 01:47:17,972 Speaker 6: and was much respected and helped many of the people 2141 01:47:17,973 --> 01:47:21,293 Speaker 6: in the community in to any et cetera. And then 2142 01:47:21,372 --> 01:47:24,692 Speaker 6: had quite great respects. And then of course, you know 2143 01:47:24,732 --> 01:47:27,452 Speaker 6: it was a great boxer and those sorts of things. 2144 01:47:27,492 --> 01:47:29,333 Speaker 6: So and then we've heard the other stories. There's no 2145 01:47:29,412 --> 01:47:32,572 Speaker 6: need to go into that. But then the interesting thing 2146 01:47:32,692 --> 01:47:36,773 Speaker 6: is several years ago or some years ago, when he 2147 01:47:37,173 --> 01:47:41,372 Speaker 6: ventured into the building of the building in Wellington which 2148 01:47:41,372 --> 01:47:44,333 Speaker 6: he wanted to do in all timber, I managed to 2149 01:47:44,692 --> 01:47:47,333 Speaker 6: talk and discuss that with them, et cetera, because he 2150 01:47:47,772 --> 01:47:51,333 Speaker 6: actually built the Robert Jonestown Auckland, et cetera. And that 2151 01:47:51,492 --> 01:47:54,012 Speaker 6: was a building that I was involved with the control 2152 01:47:54,093 --> 01:47:57,173 Speaker 6: systems company that I was working for. And then so 2153 01:47:57,253 --> 01:47:59,932 Speaker 6: I got into discussions with him with this building in Wellington. 2154 01:48:00,013 --> 01:48:03,692 Speaker 6: I think he was slightly frustrated around you planning laws 2155 01:48:03,732 --> 01:48:06,372 Speaker 6: and trastic so far and things, and then it couldn't 2156 01:48:06,412 --> 01:48:10,172 Speaker 6: really be achieved when the time, you know, I discussed 2157 01:48:10,173 --> 01:48:14,972 Speaker 6: with him as interest in building you know, very very 2158 01:48:16,173 --> 01:48:20,572 Speaker 6: important structures and a very confined and restricted space. And 2159 01:48:20,612 --> 01:48:24,412 Speaker 6: then he was a very brilliant man. He's actually a 2160 01:48:24,492 --> 01:48:29,293 Speaker 6: brilliant architect and work with architects and things, and so 2161 01:48:29,412 --> 01:48:33,092 Speaker 6: then I think that, you know, he had great respect. 2162 01:48:33,612 --> 01:48:36,213 Speaker 6: And then particularly with other people as well that were 2163 01:48:36,772 --> 01:48:39,812 Speaker 6: around in that area. There was another chap called Bob Jones, 2164 01:48:40,452 --> 01:48:44,692 Speaker 6: who was famous, et cetera, master mariner that drove there 2165 01:48:44,893 --> 01:48:49,532 Speaker 6: her across the straight, et cetera, under circumstances which were 2166 01:48:51,213 --> 01:48:53,253 Speaker 6: you know, have been in the media and whatever. So 2167 01:48:53,333 --> 01:48:55,692 Speaker 6: then all of those men, all of those men would 2168 01:48:55,732 --> 01:48:58,692 Speaker 6: congregate for a you know, for you for drinks at 2169 01:48:58,692 --> 01:49:02,333 Speaker 6: the end of it. And then my father always liked 2170 01:49:02,333 --> 01:49:04,412 Speaker 6: to have a little drink, et cetera, but he actually 2171 01:49:04,492 --> 01:49:08,452 Speaker 6: liked to have his dinner and a Geordy boy. But 2172 01:49:08,492 --> 01:49:11,053 Speaker 6: then mister Jones would say, you were just hang on 2173 01:49:11,293 --> 01:49:13,053 Speaker 6: and just you know, we're just gonna we're just going 2174 01:49:13,133 --> 01:49:15,852 Speaker 6: to punish this conversation and then you can you then 2175 01:49:15,853 --> 01:49:20,773 Speaker 6: you can have you with much much for bolity and unpal. 2176 01:49:20,572 --> 01:49:24,812 Speaker 2: Sounds like it.
