Speaker Trevor Mallard's warning to bad MPs: Shape up or be publicly exposed.
The Code of Conduct has seven commandments:
1. Show that bullying and harassment, including sexual harassment, are unacceptable - and promising to hold people to account.
2. Speak up if we observe unacceptable behaviour - and expect complaints to be investigated without reprisals against the complainant.
3. Use our position of power or influence to help others, and avoid harm - and ensure power or authority are used for good and not abused.
4. Act respectfully and professionally - and be considerate of people's boundaries and respect their right to a private life.
5. Behave fairly and genuinely, treating others the way we would like to be treated - including being trustworthy stewards of information.
6. Encourage diverse perspectives, and the free and frank expression of views - and provide opportunities for people with different ideas and perspectives.
7. Foster an environment where people feel safe and valued - including being kind and recognising the contributions of others.

What a sham of a government - NZF & Winston who picked Labour (37% poll) to be government openly fighting, disrupting and criticising Comrade Cindy & her bunch of incompetents.

The truth now surfaces for all NZers to see - they should vote accordingly.

Moka. Seriously. Do you think chief BULLY Trevor Mallard has got any authority when speaking about these matters ? He should not be in the position he is in today, full stop. He is the worst and most biased Speaker I've ever seen in Parliament.

Election 2020: New Zealand First Coalition agreement - progress report
New Zealand First has achieved or partially achieved about 80 per cent of the commitments in the agreement which sealed the deal on the Coalition Government in 2017.
Almost 70 promises were made in the Coalition agreement between NZ First and Labour. This is how they've done on the NZ First commitments
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/a...=recommendedv1

80% of bugger all = bugger all.

The big ones (housing, local government revenues & costs) are where they have not been able to get progress on and we now see that in open conflict on major economic directions & initiatives (the last thing NZ can afford is economic confusion):

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/a...ectid=12350559

"This week, however, marked a turning point in Coalition relations as Peters used more extreme language and descriptions for his colleagues in Government. Peters did not just present his own policy yesterday in Invercargill; he suggested others who had been to Invercargill recently had indulged in BS - bovine scatology."

Well, we can see Comrade Cindy & her bunch of incompetents are scratching like mad & getting rattled from the fleas - this is what they get from sleeping in the same bed with the known dog Winston 'Owen Glenn' Peters. Recall how Helen Clark had to hold her nose while attempting to distant herself from Owen Glenn & Winston NO Peters?

We have been lucky - that’s the long and short of it with the quarantine shambles.

That luck may not last if NZ continues to chance our quarantine measures.

In the Herald today - Covid 19 coronavirus: Australia could have up to 500,000 secret infections

Said to be at the higher end of predictions but the number will not be zero. Hard to believe New Zealand's number is zero.

Especially since it isn't.

Especially since it isn't....

Secret infections, that is cases in the community but not known or not counted or both.

They walk among us.

Even less reason to think NZ's number is zero.

Even less reason to think NZ's number is zero.

That doesn't make sense, because the cross-infection rate with no lockdown in place is in the order of 2-5 per infected case, so it would show up really quickly if there was a 'secret infection'. I was briefly in Melbourne a few weeks before we locked down, and the public and tourists there were crammed into buses, trams, queues outside restaurants etc, so I wasn't surprised Covid took off over there.

We have eradicated it, except at the borders. A direct result of the coalition listening to the experts and shutting down hard early, and not keeping anything but the most essential businesses trading. I don't for a moment think that National/Act would have done it as well. Most voters would appreciate this, so I'm expecting a landslide Labour-Green coalition in September.

The point is Artemis claimed he found it hard to believe it was zero, which it isn't. Get with it eZ. Anyway welcome back now that you've crawled out from under your rock. Just in time to remind us how wonderful the Labour party is in time for the election no doubt.
