What's good for the goose is good for the Mallard
The word hypocrite is banned in Parliament, but not in Beehive Diaries and Speaker Trevor Mallard has found himself charged with it after he settled
a defamation case against him for describing a former staffer's actions as amounting to "rape".
Mallard settled the case out of court, but would not reveal any further details, saying it was subject to a non-disclosure agreement.
