The Herald has now reported that one of the plaintiffs stood for Vision NZ, Hannah Tamaki’s party, and 1News reports another is closely connected to Destiny Church.

Was in a meeting about kids’ hockey and others were talking about how going away for national tournament was so important & such a fun experience for kids. I said “really, because I hated it, it was really stressful”. Couldn’t understand that someone could have a different experience than them.

How do we end up with different rulings from Chair and Speaker? Aren’t the same people advising them, and supplementary question - shouldn’t PCO and the Clerk have foreseen these issues and advised the Speaker, to avoid this embarrassment?

Would that be giving the House the power to legislate, though? Effectively a Henry VIII clause for the House instead of the Executive?
