It is completely unacceptable for Jacinda and the Greens to pass the buck on Mallard over his latest grotesque abuse of power…
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern speaks to Trevor Mallard about trespass decisions
The Prime Minister says she has spoken to Speaker Trevor Mallard about the decision to trespass former MPs, including New Zealand First leader Winston Peters.
“I have encouraged him to give the opportunity for all of the parties within Parliament to discuss the issue,” Jacinda Ardern said.
She said the Parliamentary Service Commission, a group made up of representatives of all parties, would meet on Tuesday afternoon to discuss “how the issue of trespass notices is dealt with on Parliament’s grounds”.
The Speaker has responsibility for Parliament’s grounds, Ardern said, but “it is an issue where he is ultimately having to decide whether past members of Parliament are treated exactly as everyone else is”.
It was reported earlier on Tuesday that the Speaker said he didn’t make decisions about the notices himself and instead delegated it to Parliamentary security. Newshub has contacted Parliamentary Services for comment.
Ardern said ultimately, the decision sits with the Speaker.
…no no no!
After all the shit Mallard has done, the false smearing of rape against a Parliamentary staffer because Trev was getting down with the kids and their new woke definition of rape, his provocation on Thursday Stupid Thursday that created a 10 hour live stream recruitment video for extremists, his basic bitch warehouse bargain basement psy-ops using the spraying of water and loud music at night which provoked the riot on Parliament’s lawns and now his trespassing of politicians from Parliament all combine to make Trevor YOUR problem Prime Minister.
This is now on YOU Prime Minister.
You have a control freak who is obscenely abusing political power in a manner that if performed by the right would have every member of the Left screaming.
The Left’s collective tribal silence is a stain on our collective honour which is why I have called Mallard out from the beginning.
At least one left wing commentator has to have some honour moving forward past the Dumb Lives Matter protest and I intend that person to be me!
The reason the wider Left are so silent is because many of the Middle Class Wellington Marxists screamed for the Police to bash the smelly lumpenproletariat Nazis because they had their work from home privilege threatened by angry scary brown poor people whom they claim at Wellington dinner parties to care about.
This is woke edge lord Clint Smith, high priestess of the Wellington woke demanding Andrew Coster be sacked for not bashing the smelly lumpenproletariat Nazis…
…the Woke Left never enjoy having their hypocrisy pointed out when they are so busy virtue signalling their righteousness.
If John Key had started trespassing politicians from Parliament, the Left would have been in an uproar – Mallard does it and everyone is tribally silent.
What is the point of being political if you have no values?
What Mallard is doing is madness and covering for him is unacceptable.
As for the Greens!
The disgusting manner in which they have capitulated to Mallard’s trespass abomination vomits in the face of every protestor and shits on their long history of protest!
For shame Greens for shame!
Once again it is embarrassingly ACT who have stood for our civil rights when the State abuses its power!
Mallard must quit or be removed, that’s the only way this madness ends.
You can’t trespass politicians from Parliament for meeting with protestors no matter how much you dislike the protestors.
I did not agree with the Dumb Lives Matter protest, you all know that, but I fiercely defended their right to protest. That so many on the Left have ignored those values to get some vengeance punches into the lumpenproletariat because they had the audacity of upturning woke aesthetics of the Left being everyones saviours is crass and so very fucking middle class.
What a surprise the Greens caved in.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.

Well listening to Luxon and the way all other party’s voted it seems it’s not just the left Martin (when it comes to ex MPs)
The Speaker is nominated by the House and appointed by the Governor General. Is it as simple as saying the Prime Minister can have him booted? You seem to think so Martyn but is that the case?
Seems to me that Jacinda’s saying that Mallard’s the guy who calls all the shots, and that she’s just the little woman in the background encouraging him to share. Bullshit.
All protest is good protest.
What a surprise the Greens caved in?
Nah.
Entirely predictable. Middle class wankers.
That’s why they’re shining in the polls…
Good one, but please stop inferring that Marx has anything to do with the wanky woke left.
At last someone agrees on that point–do many middle class people really hold a marxist world view where by the capitalist class and finance capital are replaced via an organised and mass supported fundamental shift in class power? i.e a revolution. I would not have thought so.
Using “marxist” as a pejorative in this way as post modernists and alt rightists do just encourages confusion. It is important to use political terms accurately, the right do it on purpose, but avowed lefties should not buy into such “Jordan Peterson messaging”.
Vote Jacinda, vote against democracy.
Vote National, vote dirty politics.
Vote greens for 1 man 1 vote, 1 woman 2 votes.
Yes, I cant help wondering if they have considered this in terms of breaching the ToW? Equal treatment under the law for all the ordinary people of NZ. How about Race Relations or Bill of Rights?
Weak of Ardern.
I have two friends who are pro vax who visited the protest, cause they wanted to see for themselves what was going on. Will they now be trespassed.?
The solution is simple for the Greens. All James Shaw needs to do is identify as a woman and then accuse the greens of trans phobia if they try and get rid of him. Hell he can keep his suits, his genitals and even change his birth certificate.
And everyone here thought this was going to be unfair for men….
Very witty and thoughtful comment.
Ultimately Labour decides the Speaker of the House. Mr Mallard is also a Labour MP.
SO..
Imagine being that person (PM Ardern) and trespassing the man whom allowed you be become Prime Minister..
Trespassing leaders of political parties, former MPs, even the former deputy Prime Minister.. a man whom countless times represented NZ on the international stage.
The only low rent in NZ is the Labour Party.. #Despot
#Despot – I like it!!!
Mr Mallard seems to be regaining some sense, having now dropped some trespass notices.
The USSR, Yugoslavia, China and others all had vaccine mandates. And everyone accepted them. And all QAnon types were sent to the gulag.
Vaccine mandate are more Marxist than the anti-vax filth ever will be.
Rule are rules Marama said. It seems the left have lost their will to resist anything. The Greens were a vote option in next election but after this woke capitulation and James ‘Noah’ Shaw going on the telly yesterday saying we need to build an ark because sea level rise is going to kill us all (well maybe just inconvenience a few rich seafront landowners, in the unlikely event that humans could ever influence ocean depth anyway) I may veer away from the left for a while. NZ First?
Jody. Dumping Labour may be a small price to pay for getting rid of the socially destructive sex-obsessed Greens. NZ First could be an option but they’ve previously had some dubious candidates, and were not necessarily appreciative of a couple of their good ones. TOP have consistently mustered up high quality candidates with solid track records as achievers out in the real world – no professional politicos that I’m aware of, some, or maybe all of them have professional and work qualifications which most of the myopic bunch up in Parliament wouldn’t even understand. Getting onto their emailing list might be enlightening. The ghastly Greens, and I’m not sure to what extent Labour, exemplify the worst of the wokeness which is impacting majorly and madly on undeserving folks lives in the UK, USA, and elsewhere. The National Party aren’t even mediocre, but they could win by default, or by having greater expertise in dirty politics than in anything else. It’s all quite depressing.

Fair comment, except, please change the Marxist bashing record. Every Marxist I know, including myself , supported the anti mandate folks right to protest.
The anti-mandate crowd had every right to protest but setting up camp and blocking streets was idiotic and a major own goal because of course the leftist government would seize upon the opportunity to use it as a mini Jan 6th insurrection and a stick to wield against their political enemies. With the partial benefit of hindsight, the minute a mallet was raised over the first tent peg, the police should have cleared Parliament grounds and towed every illegally parked vehicle. Police hesitation to act decisively only made the situation worse as the days turned into weeks in my opinion.

All rights must by their nature, have boundaries. Protesting reasonably is a right but there needed to be an end and other people who have accepted the protest even applauded it, have a right to see it concluded especially when it was a diffuse group of miscontented people. If it was to achieve something that benefited all then it would have had more support for continuance. But just to complain and show the finger because people were upset – huh?
I’m bloody upset most of the time but probably a majority of NZs are and the government knows it and they know they are skating on thin ice which is why they watch the polls closely to see what they can get away with or whether they have to do some placating policy actions. Unfortunately it’s a sport and badly plaid old boy! What do we do, violence amongst the poor in wealth, mind and spirit is increasing, and their numbers also, and neither logic, or values or good practice or efficiency sway this army of mercenaries with their attendant machiavellian goblins grown and trained in wealth nurseries of the world’s unseen universities, creating a hegemony that pulls in more good people who find it hard to synthesise their values and culture and the prevailing sheen of the tinsel.. We are simple Hobbits, a bit cunning but losing so far,. We need to do better or will be ushered out before we realise it fully.
Fredona Blaming the police may be an error of judgment. The protest could have petered out the first weekend if Mallard, probably aided and abetted by Jacinda and Grant, hadn’t polarised the situation and behaved like a juvenile hoon. This brought sympathisers flocking to Wellington from all over New Zealand, including rubber neckers and the permanently disgruntled. If there was nothing to hide about the mechanics of what went on, Ardern would not have assiduously avoided having any sort of review of that protest, apart from
the IPCA inquiry into the conduct of the police, which will take months to be completed, by which time the inept politicians hope that the dumb populace will have forgotten about it. Not so.
At this point Labour must be intentionally trying to lose? Everything they are doing is driving different groups away. The only people who still love them are rich scumlords like Luxon?
ex kiwi. ‘Many a true word is spoken in jest’.
As Minister of Education under Clarkenfuhrer, the vile Mallard closed our Grey Valley schools and is long past his use by date
That someone could even use a term like “Clarkenfuhrer”–I actually laughed for a split second–is pretty dim.
Grow up some of you fuckwits–ACT are not fascists, thought they lean towards corporatism as evidenced by their role in the Supercity, and parking wardens are not “parking nazis”. Terminology is important if you want to be taken even half seriously.
