Teesworks: Mayor Ben Houchen brands MP liar and a coward

Speaker Trevor Mallard says he almost immediately regretted rape comment

MALLARD: I DID NOT CONNECT COMPLAINTS TO MAN Proceedings were brought against Mallard by a parliamentary staffer, who said he felt bullied out of Parliament by the Speaker after Mallard falsely described allegations of “sexual assault” as rape. Mallard had been discussing a complaint of a “sexual assault” contained in the Debbie Francis review of Parliament on Radio NZ in 2019, when he said he interpreted that as rape. “We are talking about serious sexual assault, well that, for me, that is rape. That is the impression I get from the report,” Mallard said. ROBERT KITCHIN/Stuff Trevor Mallard faced a tough reception from National MPs who have been calling for his resignation.
