Time for action

Written by  Milking It

OPINION: If David Seymour's much-trumpeted Ministry for Regulation wants a serious job they need look no further than reviewing the rules and regulations governing members of the so-called House of Representatives.

Instead of making some effort to help with the governance of the country, which they are actually paid to do - the Māori Party and the Greens in particular are using parliament as a high-profile platform to disrespectfully shout about some of their bizarre causes.

It seems that a few of them just come into parliament to yell and scream and then bugger off on full pay to do other things and join other protests around the country - again, at the taxpayers' expense.

Do they have any respect for the hard-pressed workers of the country who are paying for their extravagances?

Milking It suspects not.

So, Seymour needs to spark his department into action and return the debating chamber back to a civilised state.
