At the start there is a clip where they focus on the bit that got her ejected but after that there is the whole speech leading up to that which is well worth a watch.

This is interesting, because Brownlee doesn't really follow standing orders in making this ruling/suggestion/I don't know what.

The Spinoff has a good summary but this is yet another example of Nactional Fist using their position to deprive Aotearoa voters of their rightful representation.

Not even remotely comparable, this was during her time to speak and didn't interrupt the house.

It's also not even that remarkable compared to what has been said previously in the house, it's interesting that Winston Peters is on her side though.

FFS NAFf are really just doing whatever they want now.

We need to ensure these idiots don't get back in next year.
