The Circus that our Parliament has become requires the dress of a clown the etiquette and protocols have been extinguished.
Will this disrespect spread to other gatherings on sacred grounds.

I wonder if it’s time to stop calling them the coalition of chaos. If only they were. Rather they are doing exactly what they said with alarming precision and execution. Martyn correctly predicted that Seymour would be running the show and he is. The stunt Bill is proof. No National government before this one would have tolerated the ACT stunt. All Doug Graham’s work is at risk.

Am I the only one who sees why this was brought foward a week .Both Luxon and Peters are out of the country and would have known that a long way out from this week .Both decided that if they were not here they could escape all responsability for the resulting up roar .
Shrewd but at the same time weak as piss .They both have enabled the racist prick and now cant stand up to him so they once again get Maori to do the heavy lifting .

Clearly not Nathan, have you seen how poor Karen Chhour and Nicole McKee are and the appalling portfolio’s they have. Or have you not been paying attention to the smoking or gun legislation. Thankfully Te Pati Māori do have “Good Maori” as you put it, at least in regard in comparison to the two appalling ACT names you put up.
Now, about Finlayson’s opinion? I note Seymour’s response that Finlayson is old and has been out of politics too long. Does that mean Seymour’s been in politics too long, given this appalling bill?

In reply to Ennius.

You’re totally on the wrong side of this Ennius, probably in the category of what Finlayson describes as not liberal conservative traditionalists.
I admire Findlayson, I can’t say the same of today’s National MPs or supporters…

Seymour has not historical Maori in him, otherwise this bill would not have been drafted.

In reply to gordon walker. It isn’t strange at all. The minister was not in parliament. Maipi-Clarke was.
