  • Summary

  • John MacDonald was joined by National’s Vanessa Weenink and Labour’s Duncan Webb this morning for Politics Friday. They discussed whether the new gang patch law will make a difference to crime numbers, and why the Government is pushing on with the boot camp legislation while the trials are ongoing.

    They also discussed behaviour in Parliament, particularly following Erica Stanford’s apology after insulting Jan Tinetti in the House. Is it time for more serious action? Are standards slipping?

    Labour MP Duncan Webb claims Education Minister Erica Stanford has muttered insults in the House for some time.

    Stanford apologised yesterday after Education shadow-minister Jan Tinetti accused her of using a swear word to describe her.

    Parliament's microphones and Hansard recording did not pick it up.

    Webb raised a point of order, and told John MacDonald that Stanford is a repeat offender.

    He says this is just one instance where the Minister over-stepped the mark, and he decided it shouldn't, couldn't continue.
