Wall's News Talk ZB political editor based to the Press gallery. Morning, Jason, Oh,
good morning, my friend. Hire you very well, thank you.
Very very sad week with the news of Nicky Kay's
passing this week, isn't.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
It indeed very sad? I mean she was only forty
four years old. We knew that she'd been battling breast
cancer for a number of years, but it doesn't mean
that this came as any less of a shock. I
mean the shock waves came thick and fast throughout the
political sphere and you had everybody from Madame and Davidson
to Jacinda durn to the Prime Minister himself paying tribute
(00:41):
to Nicki Kay in the life that she led basically,
I mean the consensus was she was somebody that was
quite easily able to reach across the political aisles and
come to consensuses and work on various different issues. I mean,
she was the pioneering what's called a blue green somebody
who's in the National Party that has sort of a
good environmental hue to their politics, and her footsteps have
(01:05):
colored many others that have come after her. I mean,
you have just got to look at people like Nikola Willis,
who is really cut from quite a similar cloth as
Nicky Kay. So she's going to be really missed along
the political landscape. She hasn't had much to do with
politics in a number of years, but it's still sad
to see her go. And I do remember when I
first started in politics, when she was a minister. She
(01:27):
was always somebody that was quite formidable. She would give
these really really at some points long, the very specific
answers that were always covered in all sorts of details.
And I think that that sort of politician is something
thing that everybody should aspire to be. So yeah, she's
definitely going to be missed.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
We need more people like her in the House sets
for sure. And talking about the government. One year in government,
the coalition government, so how's it looking.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah, it's been one year since they got together in
the room many many times up in Arakland and decided
and then thrashed out the details of the coalition agreement.
You know, I said it at the time. I mean,
we've never had a three way coalition agreement. In New
Zealand's history before, we've had various different iterations of a
coalition and a confidence, support and supply and various others.
(02:15):
But getting the three around the table was always going
to be a tough gat and I've always said that
Chris Luxon did well to be able to get and
enduring a coalition agreement out of that which would stand
the test of the next three years, because you're not
just looking about the things that are happening now, you
look at how you're going to react to things to
come and things that haven't even come up yet. And
(02:37):
I think that you know, it hasn't really been tested
in that sort of regard yet, so we'll have to
wait to see if it really is this ironclad agreement
that Christopher Luxeon claimed it was. But so far it
has the test of time. I mean, you'll see that
things like the Treaty's Coalition of the Treaty's Partnership Bill,
for example, has been a bit testing, but at the
end of the day, they're doing exactly what it said
(02:58):
on the tin in the coalition agreement. They supported it
through the first reading and then not till the second reading,
so you know, they've had some bumps along the way,
but I think all in all it's actually been quite
a good start to the year, and Chris Luxon will
be happy. I think the main thing for him is that,
and it's something that's more or less out of his control,
is that the ocr is heading down, which means mortgag
(03:20):
rates are heading down, which means you've got happy voters
or happier voters.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Interesting. We'll watch this space and from overnight, a world
first social media ban for under sixteen's has been passed
by the Australian Senate. Now this band will come into
force next year. Do you think we'll follow suit on
that one?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Well, it's a funny one because we often struggle to
get really straightforward answers out of Christopher Luxon on a
lot of things, but this is one of the things
where he was actually quite forthright about and he said, yeah,
this is something that we're looking into. He was talking
about this a couple of weeks ago when this was
mooted in a press conference and he said it was
something that the government would be looking into, and I
I wouldn't be surprised to see them push forward. I mean,
(04:02):
there is a precedent, given the fact that the Ausies
have done it. There's a plethora of information and research
out there to suggest how harmful social media is for
young people. So I wouldn't be surprised at all this
season go forward on something like this. It's just sort
of a matter of when they start doing the work.
I mean, they didn't campaign on this, it wasn't in
any of their coalition agreements. But there's a government. They
(04:22):
can decide to do things if they decide to do it,
and I don't think this is going to be one
that actually, you know, gets too much friction from the
likes of David Seymour and Winston Peters. So yeah, I
would say prepare for something similar.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Brave cool well by the Australian Senate, that's for sure.
And what's the story with a police car knows to
tailing a Crown car carrying the Prime Minister. Is there
any more to this one?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
It doesn't seem so. I think that the Prime Minister,
Nikola Willis were is driving to the airport and had
a minor fender bender with a car and when he
was asked about it, he said, oh, thanks for asking that,
I'm fine, and all that sort of stuff. So these
things do happen from time to time. It wasn't like
some mass a big accident where he had an injury
or something like that. The Prime Minister is going to
be safe, so you can all rest assured that he's okay.
(05:07):
We're not sure about the state of the car yet,
but the good thing about the government is they've got
plenty of cars.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
The word will go out to the police though, what's
your distance when you're traveling, when you're following another car.
Be alert? Absolutely, the world needs more alerts, be much
more alert. Mate. Hey have a great weekend and we'll
talk again next week.
