The problem I have is that it is not Trevor Mallard's job (as speaker of the house) to decide that the sprinklers should be turned on because you think that the silly sausages outside will become uncomfortable and go home if they get a little muddy.
The problem I have is that he has been (the one and only) speaker of the house for a very long time.
When it became time for people to wear face masks it became obvious that he's mostly deaf and relying on lip reading.
The problem, however, is that he is just one man and he's been doing it for ages. In his sheepskin throne which is f*ck*ng laughable... But when you look at how he handles things like 'disorder' or several people talking at once. Whether he thinks that interjections are warranted or unreasonable. Etc etc etc. He is one man who has weilded too much power in parliament.
He has given far too much leeway or free reign to 'letting the boys be boys' talking over other people etc and come down far too harshly shutting down diverse candidates who are more humble or nervous or even respectful in their demenor. Etc. He has wielded too much power diverting attention from real issues that are being discussed in order for him to be the centre of attention getting to chide or chastise politicians for their conduct...
There really should be more than one speaker and they should be on rotation or similar. There needs to be a diversity in the candidates. Different races. Different ages. Different genders etc. An element of randomness. But where the speakers are learning from teh other speakers, too. Learning to be better. Seeing how they handled things. Thinking about how certain things that each one of them does is really a genuine strength of them and trying to emulate that.
There is no sense of progression or developmoent or working together here. There is just one f*ck*ng idiot throwing his weight around... Protecting a small group of idiot cronies who treat the NZ population as imbicels or slaughter animals.
While they pat themselves on the back for their positions on their sheepskin thrones.
And the protestors blow their duck lures...
Oh yeah, they do.
I wonder how much longer before things come down to guns. And what kind of overseas support the people of NZ will have then.
Shane Reti (NZ politicain) is busy passing himself off as a politician of Tonga? Asking (ordering?) Musk to move satellites into positions that were paid for for Tonga occupation? Is that how it goes? Some rogue ex-American got the royal family of Tonga to buy up sattelite space... But of course we can't launch anything in to orbit...
Rocket lab is simlarly a US enterprise... I don't know that they have the capacity to launch anything into orbit, either.
Nobody with the capaccity to do math or science can function in NZ (nobody with the capacity ot do much of anything.... I mean arts and culture and languages etc are also off the table)...
Just litensing to the speaker of the house bleeting...
