  Speaker 1: Bad news this morning for any productive, hard working, busy
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: members of our society. In other words, all of you
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: listening to the show this morning, Good morning. The climate
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: protesters who brought Wellington to its knees, remember that rush
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: hour traffic to a standstill. While they're going to be
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: back at it again soon, mark my words. You will
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: see more idiots gluing themselves to the motorways. You'll see
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the map sailing down Mount Victoria, hanging signs from the gantries,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the roads closed, the police doing not what they should be,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: basically chaos to start your day. Why the Crown has
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: walked away from, abandoned the prosecution of more than twenty
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: of these guys over the protests in Wellington. These guys
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: are now off on their merry little way. They're from
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the Restore Passenger Rail group, remember them. Some were awaiting
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: retrial after juries couldn't come to a verdict on whether
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: they endangered transport. Hello, anyway, there's lots of hands that
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: should be in cuffs that will soon be covered in glue. Again,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: how do we know this? They told us. One of
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: the nutters says he hopes the crown decision sets a
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: precedent that protesters won't be prosecuted for future climate change activism.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: We had numpties sleeping in coal carts trying to shut
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: down the Stockton mine on the West Coast over easter.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Dangerous stuff, expensive stuff. I remember a woman stuck in
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: traffic on State Highway one, missing her chemotherapy appointment at
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: hospital because of these guys. Their point emissions are bad
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: for the climate, But tens of thousands of cars sitting
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: idle stuck in traffic while some climate hero gets us
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: five seconds of TikTok fame ab sailing onto a state
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: highway would surely, if anything, make those emissions worse. Also,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: did you know they hire gas guzzling diesel vans to
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: ferry them to and from their stunts. Yeah, I found
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: that out after the fact. Hypocritical losers. Even Torri Farno
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: said they were dumb. Torri Farno, these people are not
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: about climate solutions, They're about themselves. I'm all for constructive
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: discussion on how our small country can play its part,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: But every time I see an ambulance stuck in traffic
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: chalk just because of some unnecessary attention seeker like this,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: it makes me want to let the planet burn just
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: despite them. Sadly, the rest of us can look forward
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: to dealing with much more of this in the months
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: and years ahead. For more familiar edition with Ryan Bridge,
