I believe. 6 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: I mean, Barbara started it to be fair, but you 7 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 1: leapt on with alacrity and I think you were probably 8 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: under Nichola's skin by the end of question time yesterday. 9 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 2: Oh well, yeah, that's that's not just the aim, but 10 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 2: also to highlight New Zealanders that the government's not taking 11 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 2: action on the cost of loving. 12 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: Okay, I thought I thought it was the point of 13 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: question time to get under the skin of the opposition. 14 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 2: I think too, But there is a greater point as well. 15 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,639 Speaker 1: Okay do you think do you think Mark she got 16 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: under try and be a political about this. Nicola had 17 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: a bit of a gas. Yeah, but Nikola had a 18 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: bit of like if you were watching it, by the 19 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: time she was ready to hit someone, wasn't she. 20 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 3: Well, firstly, I'd say Nicholas got a very tough skin. 21 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 3: Have been a finance minister in New Zealand, you have 22 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 3: to have that. It's a prerequisite. Number Two. I wasn't 23 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 3: actually in the house yesterday because I was at the 24 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 3: funeral of one of the people that we lost at 25 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 3: the Mount. 26 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,559 Speaker 1: Well, have a look at question time and see because 27 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: I'm interested because it's election year and that's I mean, 28 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: you would agree with us generally though, wouldn't you mark 29 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: The point of question time is it gives the side 30 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: a bit of fizz. In other words, you know, you're 31 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: geed up if you have a good question time, labors 32 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: jewed up if they have a good question time. 33 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 3: Well, you're a follower of it. And I have to 34 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 3: say that most people, if they're going to have a 35 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 3: look at Parliament TV, they will have a look at 36 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 3: question time. And I think that I think you've you've 37 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 3: got the ability to be able to figure out through 38 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 3: body language and questions and all the rest of it, 39 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 3: whether there's a good line of questioning. At the end 40 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 3: of the day. It's when I was in opposition, it's 41 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 3: a really important part for opposition to have to hold 42 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 3: the government to account. So yeah, it's an important part 43 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 3: of our democracy. But talking about democracy, I just wanted 44 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 3: to share a thought with you as we can into 45 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 3: the election this year. Here we go, I took the 46 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 3: Schnauzer sere and I took out a little Schnauzers for 47 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 3: walk on the beach. This morning. I was thinking back 48 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 3: to the campaign in twenty eleven. Well, they on them 49 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,679 Speaker 3: come home. No, we let them off there on the 50 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 3: leash when we got to get the end and we 51 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 3: look off they have a good run around. 52 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 4: Well, what are the sign pooh beags? 53 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 3: We have our poo bags, but. 54 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 4: What are the signs about being on the leash. 55 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 3: They don't be off the leash, off the leash at 56 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 3: that time morning. But anyway, twenty eleven campaign, i'd come 57 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 3: back from overseas. I'd been involved in delivering the elections 58 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 3: in the Ark for the first time. We are candidates 59 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 3: over there, set roadside bombs and blew each other up. 60 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 3: And I came home and the biggest story we had 61 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 3: running was the teapot tapes. Remember the teapot tape. 62 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: Very much so, and some key down and new market 63 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: at the cafe. 64 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 3: It's good to be home made, I thought, it's good 65 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 3: before we can talk, and that's a very good ta. 66 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: Actually, I've been thinking about that lately. I've been thinking 67 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: about it lately because at the moment we're fascinated with 68 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: things that are bursting into flames. So if you followed 69 00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: the media, there was a Karen and off Rent the 70 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: boost into flames. The school obviously in Taupa was sad, 71 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: but it was just bursting into flames. There was a 72 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: bus on flames. And that's I'm thinking ultimately though, in 73 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: a world that's falling apart at a rate of knots, 74 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: if you can talk about a car on an off 75 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: ramp as a headline, then it's kind of sad. 76 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 4: But you know what I mean, No, I agree that. 77 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 3: So that's my point exactly, is that we live in 78 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 3: paradise that actually we're tracking in the right direction. We're 79 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 3: doing really well as a country, and we should stop 80 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 3: and take a brief and say, you know what, we're 81 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 3: bloody lucky to live in New Zealand. 82 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 4: Last campaign, we're bloody lucky to be in New Zealand. 83 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 4: Vote National. 84 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 2: I think though, that it's interesting you say that about 85 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 2: Christian Time, Mike, because I think it has really changed. 86 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 2: Like when I was first, you know, working in as 87 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 2: a political advisor back in the two thousands, question Time 88 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 2: always featured on the news every single night if there 89 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 2: was a bit sparky, and that's really changed. Last night 90 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 2: was a bit of a rarity to have that it 91 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 2: was to be texts featuring sohivily and the news. So 92 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 2: those all those little clips get used in social media. 93 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 2: So that's where it has changed, so that there's smaller 94 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 2: segments being used on things like Instagram or TikTok, and 95 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 2: that's where they're more widely viewed, and people watch that 96 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 2: more than they would do probably the. 97 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: Way I agree, and it is partly because the media 98 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: doesn't value the political process anymore, because they if you 99 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: walk into most newsrooms and go how about that debate, 100 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: how about that exchange today? They go, oh, no, that'll 101 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: take too long, a bit boring. No one's interested in that. 102 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: There's a car on fire and on off ramp. 103 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 3: And then well yeah, in all finness to our journalists, 104 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 3: especially the ones in the press gallery, is there's so 105 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 3: much pressure on them now with a clickbait twenty four 106 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 3: hour cycle, get something up that's going to get the 107 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 3: maximum amount of eyes reading it, which sort of pushes 108 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 3: them away from doing any real in depth type stuff 109 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 3: and actually pulling the layers back and doing Some agree 110 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 3: with that you know, some balance journalism. 111 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: I need Mark just quickly before I get to Ginny 112 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 1: and the Willie problem. That this retail group, the Sunny thing. 113 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: Are you happy with the way it unfolded? I mean 114 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: my criticism would be you didn't need it. Sunny ended 115 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: up your whole bunch of stuff you'd already told you. 116 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: And on this I agree with Jenny. I mean, yes, 117 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: crimes come down, Yes it's better than it was. Yes, 118 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: you've solved a problem partially, But what was the point. 119 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 4: Of all that? 120 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 3: Well? I mean, number one, you can't question Sonny Kelshell's 121 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 3: pasionate crime, but it. 122 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 1: Does mean you appoint him to anything. I mean, you 123 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: can't know, but you can't criticize my passion either. But 124 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: I haven't got a job for the government. 125 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 3: No, But but we wanted to give so, you know, 126 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 3: Carolyn is for the beg ind of town, right, the 127 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 3: guys that have got multimillion dollar budgets to deal with 128 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 3: loss prevention, all that sort of stuff. We wanted to 129 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 3: focus in on our semes, our small and medium sized 130 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 3: businesses that don't they've been doing it really tough. They've 131 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 3: been running on the margins, you know. And and he 132 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 3: was he's the guy that's really been a very strong 133 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 3: voice for them, So we wanted to make sure that 134 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 3: we formalized that voice. That we bought Ford strong policy, 135 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 3: which has happened, and we take that into the House 136 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 3: and we start. 137 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 4: Thing that in places. You stand behind it. It was 138 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 4: a success, it was a good idea. 139 00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 3: Absolutely, it hasn't been well. 140 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 2: It's been a rolling a rolling wall of stories that 141 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 2: are negative for the government. So if I if I 142 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 2: was the minister, I wouldn't have appointed him, but he 143 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 2: was appointed. I think it was a political appointment that 144 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 2: completely backfired on the government and they wasted millions of 145 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 2: dollars nine hundred dollars a day let me finish, please, 146 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 2: nine hundred dollars a day, a flash office, a whole 147 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,239 Speaker 2: lot of catering for zero outcomes. And you've got someone 148 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,799 Speaker 2: with real skin in the game, Carolyn Young, who walks 149 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 2: away because she can't work with it. 150 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 4: So this is very this is very I think. 151 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 2: It has been a real labor for the government and 152 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 2: that's why they've pulled the plug on it early. It's 153 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 2: really failed. 154 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 3: So this is very interesting. Labor were an abject failure 155 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 3: and looking after our small businesses when they're in government right, 156 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 3: Sunny COWSHL has done more engaged with more meetings, more 157 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 3: feedback take and represented and brought forward the policies that 158 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 3: they want that were completely totally missing in the previous government. 159 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 3: And they're still out there sizing him for going out 160 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 3: and engaging with the very people that have been on 161 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 3: the front lines and have been subjected to the violent 162 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 3: retail crime that we're trying to purge.
