Are Labour shafting Ross Robertson?

I've heard from a fairly reliable source that the highly respected will not be nominated by as an Assistant Speaker, but instead Sue Moroney is favoured.

This is not confirmed. Moroney seems a competent sort, but Roberston is held in high regqard by most as a very fair Assistant Speaker. It has been suggested to me some MPs are angry with him for not retiring and letting new blood come through, so they will punish him by taking his prized role off him.

I guess we'll find out by early December when the roles are elected.
