- 0:00Speaker 1: The political winners and losers from a bombastic day in
- 0:03Speaker 1: the House yesterday. Labour loser Willie Jackson did his best
- 0:07Speaker 1: to take the headlines, didn't he, But to Party Mardy's
- 0:10Speaker 1: choreographed stage production well and truly stole his thunder and
- 0:14Speaker 1: with it they've probably stolen any hope of Labour regaining
- 0:18Speaker 1: the Malori seats they lost at the last election. Why
- 0:20Speaker 1: would you vote for to Party Mardy light in Labor
- 0:23Speaker 1: when you can have the real deal. It's highly unlikely
- 0:26Speaker 1: Labor will lead the next government for a number of
- 0:29Speaker 1: reasons which we've canvassed on this program many times. So
- 0:31Speaker 1: why wouldn't you protest vote to Party Malory In twenty
- 0:34Speaker 1: twenty six, Despite Willie's protestations about the NAT supporting AX
- 0:39Speaker 1: Bill in the first reading, Casey Costello made a really
- 0:41Speaker 1: interesting point in the debate about Labour's own track record
- 0:45Speaker 1: on Treaty principles. They did a deal with New Zealand
- 0:47Speaker 1: first the Treaty Principal's deletion Bill back in two thousand
- 0:51Speaker 1: and five on first reading, and then later voted it down.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Does that sound for million years? That's because it is.
- 0:56Speaker 1: It's because the same thing is happening now. On the right,
- 1:00Speaker 1: they are a winner. They have shrewdly led this debate
- 1:03Speaker 1: for their base, from premeditated dramatic instagram ops in the
- 1:07Speaker 1: House to fronting the party adjacent lead protest across the
- 1:10Speaker 1: Harbor Bridge, to encouraging yesterday voters to sign up to
- 1:14Speaker 1: the Maldi role during White Hetty's speech against the bill.
- 1:18Speaker 1: They have outmaneuvered and out gunned Labor on all fronts,
- 1:22Speaker 1: and they won't care what Middle New Zealand's reaction is
- 1:24Speaker 1: to the antics in the House. Therefore, politically it's a win.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Luxen winner of sorts, flying the coop to Peru turned
- 1:32Speaker 1: out to be and avoiding all this chaos probably the
- 1:34Speaker 1: best idea he's had in a little while. Seymour winner
- 1:38Speaker 1: for his base who support this bill. The result speaks
- 1:41Speaker 1: for itself. It passed, even if only the first reading.
- 1:45Speaker 1: The biggest loser Parliament and Decorum, Barry soaper On with
- 1:50Speaker 1: Heather yesterday said this was an unholy mess, the likes
- 1:54Speaker 1: of which he had not seen in the House before,
- 1:56Speaker 1: and it's hard to argue with that. The question now
- 2:00Speaker 1: is whether the same antics will be used to disrupt
- 2:03Speaker 1: the Justice Select Committee and If so, what, if anything
- 2:08Speaker 1: will and can be done about it? For more from
