1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: As Jason Wowlls joins us our political editor halidays, Oh,

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: good afternoon, thirteen to five. Racism in the House, Tom

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: McClay yelling get Ricudham and Ender's march.

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: Indeed, it was quite the set of Argiebargi in the

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 2: House from a number of different areas. I'll get to

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 2: the accusations of racism soon, but there were some other

7
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 2: light zingers that came beforehand, such as this excellent Shane

8
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 2: exchange between Aischaviril and Shane RETTI have a listen.

9
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 3: Isn't it a bit rich to accuse others of being

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 3: poor governors when one week after his announcement he's still

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 3: not really clear what the management structure of Defatura really is.

12
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 4: Mister speaker, what is not rich as Health New Zealand

13
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 4: because of the deficit that member left.

14
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 3: Does his private health insurance cover injury sustained while being

15
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 3: thrown under the bus by the PM.

16
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 2: I think doctor Shane got the better of doctor Verel there, but.

17
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: Of course he came back so fast. There's quick reflexes,

18
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,559
Speaker 1: quick humor. That's very good, well done.

19
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 2: It is, and you don't often see that from doctor Shane,

20
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 2: who's usually quite clinical and quite black and white in

21
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 2: what he says. But I thought it had quite a

22
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 2: bit you could hear in the background. But the real

23
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 2: problem today happened when a Green Party MP of Ricardo

24
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: Menendez March stood up in the house instead the following.

25
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 5: Just wanted to race a matter of that it take

26
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 5: personal offense to, just as I finished a matter that

27
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 5: I took personal offense to. Oh yeah, So after the

28
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 5: point of forwarder that I did in relationship to Tamitha

29
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 5: Paul's question, Todd McLay, the Minister of Trade, through a

30
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 5: bar back saying, quote, as best as I can understand,

31
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 5: you're not in mexicanal we don't do things like that here.

32
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: So, in case you didn't hear, he said, you're not

33
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: in Mexico now, we don't do that things here. Is

34
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: that what he alleged that Todd McLay said in the house?

35
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: Now Todd McLay, of course being the Trade minister, and

36
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: Riccardo is from Mexico. Well so speaking, Jerry brownly did

37
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: the basically the one thing that he could in this

38
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: instance and asked Todd McLay if he did do it,

39
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: to stand up withdraw and apologize for the comment. So

40
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: the House watched as sheepish Todd McLay stood up and

41
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: addressed his peers.

42
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 5: I withdraw and apologize.

43
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 2: So you can hear in the backgrounds what I say,

44
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, in fact, Chris Hipkins saying good luck

45
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: getting a trade deal with Mexico. Now on that one.

46
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 2: Now speaking to me to outside the house, Riccardo called

47
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 2: out McLay further follow.

48
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 5: Trade minister, who represents this in the world stage. I

49
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 5: think those outright racists and cenapholic comments are I'm defending

50
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 5: off a trade minister.

51
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: And it was Listen, it's just plain stupid from McLay.

52
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 2: I mean there's microphones everywhere. He sits quite close to

53
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: the opposition MP's and of course it's offensive and I

54
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 2: think that he should have probably, you know, he owes

55
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: Ricardo more than just an apology here. I think he

56
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: should probably go and make amends. But it's just as

57
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: stupid distraction for the government.

58
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: I think, yes, indeed, and that's what the House is

59
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: for a bit of this fun. Speaking of the heightened

60
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: levels of tensions here some real stuff. The Maori Wards

61
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: legislation had its third reading today and how did that

62
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: play out.

63
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: Indeed, that is correct. It is just went through the

64
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 2: House and that has been scrapped. It's been repealed. The

65
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 2: third reading went through. You can probably imagine how it

66
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: played out in the house today. Here's a bit of it.

67
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 6: This is a shameful day for our parliament, mister Speaker,

68
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 6: as we pass another piece of legislation that discriminates against Marty,

69
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 6: that treats Marty differently to other New Zealanders.

70
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: So I won't go through the legislation now because everybody's

71
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: pretty underclued up on what it is. But there was

72
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: a lot of opposition to it, including of course by

73
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: Tipati Marti. And here's what MP mari Amino Kappaccini said

74
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 2: about it just moments ago.

75
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,119
Speaker 7: The removal of Mardi Wards is merely another open invite

76
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 7: to race this across this Fenua to the open season

77
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 7: against Ewie Mali. This open invite is welcomed by this

78
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 7: government and in fact it reinforces their agenda that would

79
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 7: see our open and upfront extermination as a people and

80
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 7: whatever sense that may be.

81
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: So, you know, extermination is probably a bit extreme here.

82
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: It's not really surprising given the use of inflammatory language

83
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 2: that's been used by Tipati Marti in the House before.

84
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 2: But the party you know there last week were the

85
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 2: ones that called for a bit more decorum in the House.

86
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 2: So again I said it was ironic at the time.

87
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: Now one person who was not happy about this was

88
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 2: National's James Mega who had had a guts full of

89
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,559
Speaker 2: the opposition today.

90
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 4: So here's a message to the tens of thousands of individuals,

91
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 4: of children, of young people of workers out there in

92
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 4: New Zealand who identify who fuck Papa Maldi, who don't

93
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 4: look like them, who don't think like them, who don't

94
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 4: share their worldview, and who they think don't count. Well,

95
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 4: those people do count, and we share the view that

96
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 4: their individual views count, whether they share the views of

97
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 4: what he Jackson or to Party Maldi, their views count.

98
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 2: So you can tell how worried the opposition is about

99
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: that certain MP with all the background noise. And I

100
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,559
Speaker 2: tell you what, when James Meagher gets up to speak,

101
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 2: he gets a lot of feedback from the opposition, so

102
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 2: I would say he's certainly one to watch good stuff.

103
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: Jason. Can I just say that I've found some of

104
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: the stuff that to Party Malory have seen some of

105
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: their rhetoric to be far more aggressive than anything you've

106
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: ever reported on today.

107
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 2: This is unfortunately getting pretty par for the course, Like

108
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 2: this is not even the first time they've used the

109
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:34,799
Speaker 2: word extermination in the house.

110
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, pot kettle black and I thank you so

111
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,480
