Question time usually deals with questions from Members of Parliament to Ministers.
Today there are four from a Member to another Member:
QUESTIONS TO MEMBERS
1. ANDREW WILLIAMS to the Chairperson of the Local Government and Environment Committee: When will the Local Government Act 2002 Amendment Bill be reported back to the House and approximately how many written submissions have been received on the Bill?
2. ANDREW WILLIAMS to the Rt Hon Winston Peters: What is the intention of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (Amending Primary Function of Bank) Amendment Bill?
3. ANDREW WILLIAMS to the Rt Hon Winston Peters: How will the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (Amending Primary Function of Bank) Amendment Bill help the Reserve Bank pursue a balanced macro-economic policy?
4. ANDREW WILLIAMS to the Rt Hon Winston Peters: Why is the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (Amending Primary Function of Bank) Amendment Bill needed now?
At least three of those could be candidates for patsy question of the day.
Yeah when I saw that I immediately saw it as a Winston stunt.
Didn’t hang around for it. At work we all watched Question One, knowing Kim Dotcom was in the public gallery. But even that went on too long so we went back to work pronto.
God almighty I ran into Winston in a stationery shop last week, he was buying his cigarettes. A blast from a long ago past. How did he get back, again? Oh yes. John Key and the “tea party,” Thanks John.
I made the mistake of listening through them…what a disgraceful performance and a waste of QT.
