Speaker of the House Gerry Brownlee intends to discuss Green MP Ricardo Menendez March’s f-bomb – which he dropped in Parliament on Tuesday night.
Menendez March heckled “Your party introduced this bill as it was, come on, f***, you voted for the bill without those amendments.” during Labour MP Paul Twyford’s speech on immigration.
Speaker of the House Gerry Brownlee was listening-in to Afternoons on Newstalk ZB, and called to discuss.
Brownlee told Simon Barnett and James Daniels “There used to be a book of banned words in parliamentary debate.”
Brownlee said “Menendez March’s comment was overheard on a microphone, an interjection. So, it wasn’t part of the debate, formally.”
