meal break <{1><[1>and i think they're entitled to that privacy voc a million or not <{2><[2>if i won lotto tomorrow i'd give them the <{3><[3>million cos i know what my husband went through it just about wore him out <[1><.>well <[2>okay then <[3>okay then i can see okay <{><[>nice to talk to you <[>well thank you very much sharon <{><[>you have a very nice weekend my daughter went off to hawaii

he rang my daughter she was on leave from her job and tut in the diplomatic service he said meet me in hawaii we might as well finish the week <{><[>off there <[>what her boyfriend pardon? her <{><[>boyfriend <[>no her husband oh her husband <{><[>word <[>oh yes no no he's quite an important man really in his own world he's not an m p though <{><[>laughs <[>laughs just a matter of time <,> bye bye <&>1:27 <&>advertisements not transcribed <&>3:33 we're at <.>the moment it's thirteen minutes past eleven as i'm sure it is at your place and here's barney good morning yes good morning sharon how are you all right you? oh not too bad i was out in the orchard a while ago and um er spraying copper kocide on <.>our on our blueberries and um er the thought came to me about this kiwicard yes and i thought i'd ask you now is it basically a um a subsidised health card <&>4:00 YES it shows that you don't have to pay <,> anything or only part of the overnight in the hospital charge and sundry other medical charges <.>m um <.>m um mainly targeted to the poor and the disadvantaged <.>o <.>o obviously well the country's been divided into three <,> <{><[>those who <.>have <[>right so that'd be the first group would it they have nothing and the second group if they have <,> partially abated family support are eligible to a <.>kiwi for a kiwicard that will give them <,> some financial advantage but not the same amount that group ONE get mhm if you're in group three which means you have more than twenty three or so thousand a year depending on the number of children you don't get a card is that all clear um absolutely so <.>the um the um er the dependants who would be dependent on that er well er you know well <.>they they wouldn't be able to afford it i guess er <.>sh er sharon so er the only way they could get any help is to probably <{><[>um er collect a kiwicard <&>5:00 <[>no well if you're a beneficiary if you get a student allowance if you get full family support if you're a superannuitant with a certain income level that doesn't go above a certain amount if you're a childless <.>non beneficiary again with a ceiling of income you get the card mm you get a card and SOME of the perks that go with it if you have partially abated family support and that varies because of the number of children you might have group three that's the people who don't get a card are national superannuitants single ones who earn more than seventeen thousand two hundred and seventy nine mm and on it goes <{><[>um <,> childless <.>non beneficiaries and families ABOVE the family support abatement point i've got a table here ask me a question i've got the answer <[>mm ha ha that's very good well so what's <{><[>your point <[>the point i'd like to raise is the fact that um um do you think the kiwicard <.>cou could be the thin <.>e end of the wedge <,> um in respect of um er because <&>6:00 they threw out <.>a out this i d card in australia <.>ty some type <.>of er card er er a <.>few er a few years ago and um <,> um <,> er <.>i i can understand that this kiwicard would um would be a great blessing <.>a as far as all the er government <.>d er departments are concerned no because the budget allowed for government departments to yep swap information that's <{><[>it yeah yes right <[>so two things have have happened the kiwicard is to show whether you're eligible for certain welfare benefits in the health area right <{><[>right <[>and there's the other crosschecking which is called an information exchange and that allows people to get together in a c c inland revenue um <,,> oh um inland revenue um justice department <{><[>word <[>yes immigration that sort of thing <{><[>and and department of social welfare <[>right right <&>7:00 well you KNEW all this didn't you well <.>i <.>i <.>i i have i have got that yes and um but the point is this that um it's the thin <.>en end of the wedge in THIS respect i believe sharon that um that bible prophecy is getting closer and closer as er far as the mark of beast is concerned oh i don't think the mark of the beast is likely at the moment do you <.>we the greatest beast on the planet <.>is <.>is is man's inhumanity to man laughs so true and of course um that's how <.>i <.>i it has <.>all all begun hasn't it well i don't think the kiwicard is going to be the start of the mark of the beast i really don't do you <.>w yes i do <{><[>why <[><.>i i really do <.>u <{><[>um sharon and i wondered if um there's a lot of um er churches out there who may have some of the answers <[>i mean <.>h WHAT and um how this um how this mark of the beast <.>is is er beginning to take shape well tell us how the mark of the beast is starting to take shape with a kiwicard that allows <{><[>people to have some help with their <&>8:00 health costs <[>laughs okay OKAY OKAY sharon the er point <.>i i i believe would be er nineteen eighty five <,> they brought out this eftpos which is um <{><[>an invisible money transaction <[>which didn't work well it didn't work and it's not <{><[>invisible you can see it on your bank statement <[><.>cash cashless trade society so that is the beginning though er even though <.>i it <{><[><.>hasn't <,> it hasn't word <[>well look let us short circuit this <.>logical this <{1><[1>illogical thing and tell us what the end is if this is the beginning what is the <{2><[2>end <[1>laughs <[2>okay the um money as we have it now has been partly taken over by <.>the by the um bankcard tut and er in time to come <,> <{><[>and with the introduction of um <[>but LISTEN you don't have to have a bankcard you can <,> really stymie the beast by not having any credit cards <{><[>at all <[>laughs but <.>th um the most important thing though sharon is this that it's not going to be <&>9:00 short circuited it's going to er plug away it's going to come to pass so if the beast is going to come to pass why ARE you worried about the kiwicard <{1><[1>if it is inevitable that <{2><[2>the beast is going to be with us soon why don't we just get on with our lives and wait for HIM IT <,> won't be a woman of course <[1>not one bit <[2><.>i <.>i laughs oh <.>that's that's <.>one that's <.>w that's thankful for that too sharon i'm <.>i <.>i i'm pleased <.>y <.>y you have that sorted out but um there'd be a lot of people out there <.>who who would be er <.>a <.>a <.>a wee bit um <,> anxious i guess well you're only adding to their anxiety with your wild talk about the mark of the beast and if as <{><[>you say <[>do you think it's wild er sharon i think it's wild i also think it's stupid and irresponsible because if the beast is coming there's nothing we can do about it <,> if credit cards are <,> helping the beast <{><[>get here <[>do you think it's a warning though sharon oh god look MEN have been <,> <{><[>ruining the world for centuries the mark of the beast has nothing to do with it <&>10:00 <[>laughs yeah you think so well what are <.>you i mean <{><[>are a representative of the beast or something <[>well <.>i <.>i <.>i <.>i <.>i i believe this now though sharon that um when it does come we are going to <.>m have that decision of either taking it or rejecting it and if we do take it <.>it's it's clearly said that um er that we do not belong to god any more well that's a decision that each individual must make <{><[>on his or her relationship with god <[>perfect perfect absolutely perfect and <.>it's <.>r <.>a and i think <.>it it's clear that um we need to be made aware of um um <.>o <.>o of exactly how it's going to take shape <.>an and um and do something <{><[>about it <[>well you haven't told me how it's going to take shape apart from having a credit <{><[>card <[>okay the credit card <.>i <.>i is is going to be taken over by a um <.>a a laser laughs <.>a a laser mark in either your right hand <.>or or your forehead sharon so? right so um that's going to be our um transposed of <.>our er of our <.>i identification card our <{><[>i d <,> <.>a <.>an and our bank and our bankcard <&>11:00 <[>and who's going to do this look we've had this conversation before this is pointless oh sharon hang on a minute just <.>a <.>just just settle down <{><[>for a minute <[>well who is going to force us to have this <{><[>mark word on our forehead <[>laughs jenny shipley <.>ha has forced us er <.>t to <{><[>take a health cut <[>oh so missus shipley is the beast's agent is <{><[>she <[>mm well it's a beginning of it er sharon golly it's a beginning of it <{><[>and um <[>and maybe a lot of people are worried too about that i know and er er er although you may think that this er call <.>is is irresponsible but actual fact i think <.>i <.>i it makes people aware really of the things to come people have been saying that the world will end that <{><[>doom is nigh <,,> that we will be extinct and they've been saying it for centuries <[><.>i i agree with you and it's all for nought absolutely <{><[><.>an <[>so what makes you any more credible really and isn't it a question of our own individual relationships with god really not something to be discussed on talkback to <&>12:00 put the wind up people who are already anxious <,> they can read revelations just as i am sure you have done and make their own decisions yes indeed and it's certainly coming to pass though sharon <,> <{><[>and that's word <[>all right well we'll <.>w watch with interest okay my dear okay <{><[>bye bye <,> well now i think he's perhaps better off back in the orchard <&>12:18 <[>bye
