Trevor Mallard has been under fire recently and his conduct has bought into question the entire role of the Speaker of the House.
OPINION: People hate politicians. Last night it was easy to see why. Indeed, the debate on Tuesday night about Trevor Mallard’s defamation case and the sexual assault allegation at the centre of it made it easy to see something else too: Why women are often terrified of coming forward with complaints about sexual misconduct in the workplace. The conviction rate is low, the court process horrid for many, and if your complaint concerns a workplace like Parliament, it could soon become a political plaything.

OPINION:
There s a lot of talk about who will be the next leader of the National Party. The real question is: where will they lead it to? Simon Bridges, Todd Muller and Judith Collins had all clearly aspired to be leader for many years and dedicated their political careers to that end – climbing the greasy pole to the top. But when they got there, they suddenly found they didn t know what they wanted to do with all that power once they had it. No vision for their party. Worse, no vision for New Zealand. So, they failed as leaders.

due to commence in 2022.
