Finlayson: 'Ritual disembowelling' of Todd Muller a lesson to other MPs Finlayson: 'Ritual disembowelling' of Todd Muller a lesson to other MPs Wed, 30 Jun 2021, 12:20PM Former National MP Chris Finlayson says if Judith Collins' "ritual disembowelling" of Todd Muller is what it takes to stop MPs sniping about each other to media, then he fully backs it. Finlayson has spoken out about the plight his party is in, saying former PM John Key had told them after the 2020 election to either quit leaking or quit the party, and Key was right. Asked about Judith Collins' move to force Todd Muller to resign after he was dobbed in for making unflattering comments about Harete Hipango to Newsroom, Finlayson told the NZ Herald that MPs had to learn "to stop sniping about your colleagues".
