Points of Order — Privilege—Freedom of Speech
I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker.
💬 SPEAKER: A further point of order?
No, no. It’s speaking to the point of order. You interrupted my flow.
💬 SPEAKER: The one that I’ve already just ruled on?
Well, no, the previous one.
💬 SPEAKER: Well, Mr Brownlee, I think you’re beginning to trifle—
I’m sorry, but here we’ve got a situation where you now appear to have clarified for the public of New Zealand that if a member of Parliament threatens another member of Parliament, saying that if they take a particular action in the House—
Order! Order! The member will resume his seat.
