| 00:00 - 00:03 | Morena. After the karakia and waiata |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | we must discuss Palestine. |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | But this is our jurisdiction. Wellington. |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | Land of public servants and broken pipes |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | We are just the council of this small town. |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | But Twitter says there are more important things |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | Palestine, trans activism, international culture wars. |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | Sir, but the ratepayers...We have put their rates up 12.8% |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | They might see these as out of our remit |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | Water, roads, transport, rubbish collection. |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | This is what the people care about. |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | Leave this room if you have ever had an independent thought. |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | Are all the ratepayers bigots? |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | Bigots are not welcome in my city! |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | Wellington is inclusive! |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | Palestine must be protected and only Wellington Council can do it. |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | The people of Wellington must be taught |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | about the evil of Israel and Israel people... |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | There's a name for them but I can't remember! |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | We are tolerant! Inclusive! Kind! |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | And the people who disagree with us? |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | Banish them! Not in my Poneke! |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | Some might say that isn't...tolerant or kind... |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | Tolerance and kindness are only for people I like! |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | How will we get everyone to think the same? |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | Be nice to them? No! |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | We cancel them! Threaten their jobs. |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | Public humiliation. That is the key. |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | Call everyone a racist! Or a Nazi! |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | I hear everyone hates those guys... |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | They will applaud our virtue signals! |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | Praise our rainbow crossings and trans flags! |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | They will love our kaupapa! |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | Sing our waiata and stand for our karakia! |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | They will follow us on TikTok! |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | Those TikToks were good, godammit! |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | That's it. I'm cancelling fireworks on Matariki! |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | There will be no fireworks this Matariki in Pōneke. |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | Matariki is a time for reflection and setting intentions. |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | This does not require f***ing fireworks! |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | Wellington is inclusive! Not fun! |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | It is better for everyone to be miserable together! |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | That is true inclusiveness. |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | F***ing old white men. It's all their fault. |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | Marama says they are responsible for all violence. |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | She is right. Unless they identify as women, of course. |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | Maybe we should ban them from Wellington. |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | Anyway, Palestine. Let's hold a hui about it. |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | And don't forget to tweet about it. |
