Speaker 1 (00:00):
One man, if I can get him off his smobile phone,
who said alone to me is Shane Jones. The Prince
of the province is the self titled Martua. Now, Shane,
you were on the back of the biggest burn last
night at the Rural Support Trust debate, and i'll paraphrase
what Karen MacNulty said. He described you as the self
titled Prince of the provinces and he said the only
(00:21):
thing Shane Jones has in common with the Prince is
they're both waiting for the king to die. And I
thought that was an excellent burn. But we all know
Winston is ageless.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
It is life threatening for the Matua to talk about
the long activity of Winston Peters. Sadly, the longer he lives,
the shorter Chippy's life will be.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Well.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
I was talking to Chippy earlier on He's barged and
ahead of you today. But anyhow, Chippy was here and
we were talking about this potential bill for the Paris
Degree in twenty thirty. If we don't meet our commitments,
we if Chippy's in charge, we might have to pay
five billion dollars.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
We can't afford to do that.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
You heard it here Winston, and I will never ever
send one razu to buy the Congo credits to satisfy
the appetite, I'll puff the magic dragon can get buggered.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
You were speaking also, when were you speaking? I heard
you somewhere. You were going on about the mining.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Was that this morning?
Speaker 2 (01:32):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
It was it Federated Farmers. I apologize.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
I've been to so Rabobank Breakfast the situation or the
Soapi report, and then I saw you pontificating at Federated
Farmers and you were you were just doubling down on mining.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Lock. How come it's acceptable to bring Indonesian coal into
the ports of Toadugger, put it on a truck or
a train, and then send it to Huntley when all
the white huddle underneath the footprints, underneath the cow pads
is whiteader coal. Why can't we dig our own minerals up,
(02:10):
exploit our own resources to keep the lights on when
it's necessary, rather than rely upon Indonesian coal? And then
sing all these kumbay Our songs stroking Papa Tunuku earth
Mother and pretending that somehow Chloe's got the right Wyata.
We're going to save ourselves from the planet, burning a
(02:32):
load of bloody rubbish.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Well, that's been well received by the punters here.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Well, Chloe was an interested spectator at your speech at
Federated Farmers this morning. She wasn't exactly doing cartwells when
you were talking about mining.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
No, no, no no. If I was to introduce Chloe
as to how to twirl and swing a POI I
would probably have gone and disembar owled or taken a
denachorized a sheep a ram and made a pair of
poise for her to twirl. How does that sound for
(03:12):
southern gentleman, Jamie.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Well, let's talk about a couple of Northland gentlemen, yourself
and of course the King Winston Peters. He'll be here tomorrow.
If you come back this time tomorrow, Winston will be
on the show. Are you a New Zealand first an act?
Are you going to cannibalize or try to cannibalize the
national vote? Because you're all after the vote of these
people out here, the farmers. So here's a chance to
(03:38):
pitch to mystery creek Shane Jones.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Well, I've got to tell you, cockies, there is a
mystery here in this creek that's yet to be solved.
Where is the tent that the Labor Party never put
up next to New Zealand first sight, there's empty space
reflective of the policy manifesto of the Labor Party. Where
(04:05):
is that tent? I'm told that Chippy has hired Karen
McNulty to undertake an investigation. Who is responsible for the
disappearance of the tent? He needs, he needs assistance and
they've got an underemployed policeman to help them. I can
(04:28):
tell you what the result will be because it's the
Labor Party.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Too many chiefs and not enough You mean Indians?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Do you mean? I say here, I say buttericks that
I say but a chicken rather than you, because you'll
just get in trouble. Chippy, the Labor Party came out
yesterday with some policy because it's been a long time coming,
and it was basically as I read it. He disagreed.
He talked about rural school buses here earlier. But I
(04:59):
see this is a sub subsidy for urban New Zealand
when it comes to public transport, because most of these
people out here don't have access to public transport.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah, well, all my kids, most of them, they live
up in Manganui, and then around Awnui north of Kaitaire.
Other than a spare horse or borrowing Auntie's vehicle, there's
no public transport in that part of Northland. So all
of the champagne swilling people swiggers who live in Auckland
(05:31):
you're going to get a subsidy, But most of the
cockies and their children you're not going to get it.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Did you just say swingers in Auckland, so I said,
Swillen said swimmers. I wasn't sure what he was up to.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Hey, I got my beautiful wife in the audience. She's
already giving me the evils, so stop encouraging me.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I don't need to.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Shane Jones, thank you so much, mate, always appreciate it.
The Prince of the province is Shane Jones.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Right.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Could have filled out the rest of the hour with them,
but we've got other people to talk to.
