Trevor punishes Labour’s outrageous abuse of Health Select Committee
Labour’s questions at a Health Select Committee described as “patsy” prompted House Speaker Trevor Mallard to give National extra questions in Parliament to scrutinise the COVID-19 response.
National MP Chris Bishop complained to Mallard after Labour MP Liz Craig – chair of the Health Select Committee – let officials speak for more than 20 minutes about widely accessible information, during a briefing on Wednesday on the Government’s COVID-19 response.
It prompted National to call for the return of the Epidemic Response Committee to hold the Government to account, after what leader Judith Collins described as “farcical nonsense” at the Health Select Committee.
Every New Zealander should be outraged at dirty filthy Labour party tactics at the Health Select Committee this week, how dare Liz Craig make Chris Bishop politically relevant!
What the hell Liz???
If Labor Party stooges are going to use these vital chances to hold the bureaucrats to account by wasting almost half the time with bullshit, then we do urgently require the Epidemic Response Committee to be re-established.
Labour made Chris Bishop politically relevant, we should never forgive them for that.

Liz nearly hid the fact Covid testing high risk border workers is a disorganised mess with no plan and no idea. And her reasoning was as at least as shit as Megan Woods explanation on why they are disposing of state houses. Kudos ladies!
Quite why she thinks she should receive a pay cheque for her performance on the other hand is a mystery!
I see it a bit differently:
National are sounding increasingly desperate.
– They are desperate to find some iota of political relevance
– They are desperate to hide their internal divisions
– They are desperate to open the borders to the $$$$$$$$$$$$$ world outside
– They are desperate to please their powerful, uber-wealthy overlords, the megacorps and billionaire barons who cannot wait to get their money-hungry claws back into little AO/NZ, before we start to think we might be able to survive without them.
– They are desperate to try and taint the present government’s remarkable success in dealing with the pandemic.
They are trying to raise the pirate ship SS Shambolic from the ocean depths where it sank some time ago. Remember when all those Nat-rats were leaping off it? Throwing themselves overboard before it sank.
To Davey Jone’s locker with the National party.
On the other side, I see the HMS Labour listing from the left to the right, trying to keep an even keel in the middle, but the stormy seas around are giving it a battering. Will Labour batten down their hatches and hope the storm passes? And if their ship breaks apart and starts sinking, will the Lab rats jump overboard? Will captain Jacinda do a long John Key bail or will she go down with her ship next election?
I say time to change course for new lands and calmer seas.
🙂
listing from the left to the right, trying to keep an even keel in the middle,
Yep. Sad but true.
Does this mean the Nats won’t be trying to get rid of Trev now?
meanwhile Newshub promotes story of GP who reckons it will take 205 years to vaccinate NZ at current rate. Total bullshit story but when has that ever stopped anything. Will the doomsayers apologize if NZ makes it’s target? Fuck no. They will take credit for it instead. Business as usual.
Amen
