Friday Faceoff: Wayne Guppy and Dame Kerry Prendergast debate the c-word column and standards in Parliament

It’s been quite a week in Parliament.

Workplace Relations Minister Brooke van Velden dropped the c-word, quoting a controversial opinion piece by Andrea Vance. Meanwhile, the Te Pati Maori co-leaders were suspended for 21 days and yesterday Labour MP Willie Jackson was booted from the house.

How low have the standards of behaviour dropped in our Parliament? 

Also, a single Wellington bus lane enforcement camera on Cambridge Terrace has made nearly $800,000 in just two months, with thousands being stung.  Is this about enforcement or revenue gathering?

To answer those questions, Upper Hutt mayor Wayne Guppy and former Wellington mayor Dame Kerry Prendergast joined Nick Mills for Friday Faceoff.
