Personal Explanations — Oral Questions—Question No. 1 to Minister, 13 December
← Employment Relations (Trial Periods) Amendment Bill
Employment Relations (Trial Periods) Amendment Bill →
Time unknown
Point of order. I seek leave of the House to make a personal explanation regarding question time on Wednesday, 13 December.
ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Teanau Tuiono): Leave is sought for that purpose. Is there any objection? There is none.
CHLÖE SWARBRICK: During question time on Wednesday, 13 December, I made comments intended to challenge the content of the Prime Minister’s answer to oral question No. 1. I can understand how this statement could be interpreted to be a personal reflection against the Prime Minister. It was not my intention to make a personal reflection on the Prime Minister in this House, and to that effect I apologise to this House. I recognise that that should have happened at the time.
