I don't know what size aircraft Twyford was on, but generally cellphone use is restricted on IFR operations (instruments) but smaller aircraft use VFR (visual). It's once a cellphone is in the air and actively using quad frequency bands to try to talk to numerous cellphone towers, that it's more risky and creating possible interference.

It's certainly a warning to all of us that cellphones should be on flight/aircraft mode as we enter an aircraft.
It doesn't matter what size aircraft he was on. They'd been told to turn off their phones and he didn't. Jacinda sacked him from the Civil Aviation portfolio which is a good indication he did something he shouldn't have !

None of that means didly squat. Twyford broke the rules. He should expect at least to be stood down during the investigation as this is what he wanted of Brownlie in 2014. After the investigation he should get at least a $2,000 fine which is what Brownlie got.
(As an aside I'm not sure I really want to be flying any more with Julie Ann Genter now the Minister. She going to have conniptions when she sees its pretty much men flying planes.)

Your knowledge of aviation is extremely low so to me that indicates that any of your opinions of other matters is also at that level and can be ignored.

Panic setting in JT? If this had been a National Party offender you would have been the first one screaming for blood.

Ive only looked at snippets in the past, but yes it does seem similar, except less humour more rancour. Its a concerted planned malicious attack from National though through Brownlee, pushing buttons and boundaries, parliament/we dont need it . Mallard wants to clean it up with better behaviour and more decency and efficiency.
And National are ahead on the extra questions count thanks mainly to Jones's snipes. But ironic in that Mallard was one of the culprits in past years. And he needs to resolve the"stupid little girl" issue one way or the other...
National are between a rock and a hard place and with less privileges, access to info etc, it must be pretty galling, frustrating for them after 9 years having those things. But to the public their behaviour is reinforcing the worst stereotype about politicians when they see this bitchiness.

........and better with numbers than the kids down at Treasury
See recently he ha started using big words like liquidity as well .....like balaming the banks for not providing this liquidity by lending zillions to developers .....at the same time Robertson is probably imploring the banks through Orr not to get into reckless lending on property developments

National are the opposition, it is their responsibility to challenge the government, perhaps you have forgotten that Labour suffered nine years of it and are destined to return to it - it is inevitable as is the cycle of power, but apparently their behaviour was OK during that time whereas similar behaviours by National are not.
You should school yourself on how parliament works, how the House works and why it works that way, it is democracy in action, whether you like the process or not. Pick on something with meaning and substance, it's easy although unfortunately distracting to be drawn into commentating on the 'behaviours' of parliament, as it has little do per se with power or challenging power.
Look through the rhetoric and bluster to the message and the intent, as well as the response, as you might find it intriguing instead of being caught up in the process and demonstrating your naivety of the 'show' that surrounds it.
