1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,159 Speaker 1: Chris Hipkins came on, well, became undone. I thought yesterday 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: two times and you would hope given there's literally no 3 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: pressure on him right now, and basically he gets to 4 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: spend his day's bagging the government. He might want to 5 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:11,480 Speaker 1: sharpen up a but given next year is going to 6 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: be a whold different kettle of fish. So mistake number one. 7 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: He attempted to gain points on Palestine by suggesting David 8 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 1: Seymour was holding the government to some sort of ransom 9 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:21,799 Speaker 1: and if it wasn't for the veto, they would have 10 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,799 Speaker 1: declared support for statehood by now. Now. What Seymour said 11 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: was he Mass would need to be demilitarized. Now, apart 12 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 1: from the fact that's not radical or new or an 13 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 1: already widely held view by many who want to recognize Palestine, 14 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: what is it Hipkins are saying he doesn't mind he 15 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: Mass or Hamass being a terror group. Would he be 16 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: happy with the two state solution with ha Mass at 17 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: the control panel if he does? No problem? Say so 18 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: bet you he won't. Though Mistake number two, for reasons 19 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: best known to himself, he got trapped into a discussion 20 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: about his tax policy. What tax policy you're asking exactly, 21 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,959 Speaker 1: but he somehow managed to suggest that even though there 22 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: isn't a tax policy, what there is is broad agreement 23 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: around a world tax and a capital against tax. And 24 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: then the bullet in the foot He couldn't rule in 25 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: or rout the possibility that the family home was part 26 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: of that tax capture. Now tip one drop the Middle East. 27 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: No voters moved in this country on a place that 28 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: has been a disaster z own for decades. And the more 29 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,479 Speaker 1: you look like you tolerate terrorists, the more you put 30 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: Middle New Zealand off you. Then mistake number two. If 31 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,759 Speaker 1: you're stupid enough to even hint that a family home 32 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: could be part of a new tax, give up right 33 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 1: now because you toast. As history shows, a CGT with 34 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: a family home exempt has been trialed and rejected multiple 35 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: times by his own party. Irony of ironies, it was 36 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: Hepkins himself with the Captain's call that dropped it last time. 37 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: So not only is he clearly not committed or convinced, 38 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: he seemingly may have been hijacked by some left leaning 39 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: radicals inside his own camp to get the family home involved. 40 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: So a party that can tolerate him mass and tax 41 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: your family home, what could possibly go wrong?
