I’m amazed the Military Manoeuvres Bill is running so high.

I believe it's Richard Prosser's speech about how New Zealand First will be voting against the bill based on the threat of a Finnish invasion. Not quite virulent, but people were trying to make it happen at the time.

It is a variety! It runs the gamut from lite-jazz to lite-reggae. And alllll the inoffensive noodling in between. :)

Bit worried about what appears to be long feelers in the bottom left corner of the camera on this clip from the Marriage Equality Debate. And wasn’t that a missed opportunity to showcase some NZ music to a huge audience as we waited for the result.

House that!
So how has it affected the conduct of the House and the behaviour of MPs?
