00:00:01

00:00:01
>> Yeah.
00:00:02
>> Sadly, yes.
00:00:05
>> I've had that feeling before, Willie. It
00:00:07
used to be your mother. She'd call it
00:00:09
Winston. Can I see you privately?
00:00:10
>> I do like him. And uh sorry there my my
00:00:14
Labour mates who might be watching this
00:00:15
today. Yeah, I do like him, but but
00:00:17
complex, you know, because you know,
00:00:19
he's great company and then he comes out
00:00:21
with some of the most crackpot ideas.
00:00:22
He's got this problem with New Zealand,
00:00:24

00:00:25
Ali at all. I mean, for goodness sake,
00:00:28
out of there. Cut it out. Cut it out,
00:00:31
Winston. You know, and he's got Shane
00:00:33
Jones with him. Shane, you know, I don't
00:00:35
know if you know, is one of the best
00:00:36
multil language speakers in the country.
00:00:38
And old Shane, pussycat Jones, doesn't
00:00:40
say a word.
00:00:41
>> Go
00:00:43
Shane Jones. It's my
00:00:46
party, lady. It's my
00:00:48
>> And Winston's going, "No, we're not. We
00:00:50
are new. We're both Winston. Cut it
00:00:52
out." So, no. Fascinating uh character.
00:00:55

battles and but you know those that's
00:00:58
that's what happens.
