Maggie Barry standing orders

After Maggie Barry suggested during the paid parental debate that Labour MPs without children aren't that well qualified to talk on the issue of , had a hash tag of #maggiebarrystandingorders. Pete George has some of the better ones:

  • Happy birthday @jacindaardern! Although it's not MY birthday so I really shouldn't comment…
  • only Maggie Barry may cite #maggiebarrystandingorders in the house
  • You can only talk about asset sales if you have three TradeMe stars or more.
  • Maggie Barry seems quite happy to talk about euthanasia. Maybe it's a cry for help
  • Only MPs named Sarah can talk about CERA
  • MPs wanting to talk about taser will have to have been tased.
  • Maggie, I have 2 children so can talk about Paid Parental Leave twice as much.
  • No more references to Willie Apiata by MPs who haven't rescued comrades under enemy fire
  • We can't talk about #maggiebarrystandingorders because we're not Maggie Barry
  • MPs wanting to talk about taser will have to have been tased.
  • You can't make decisions about New Zealand unless you've never left the country.
  • No-one in or ACT can talk about public transport
  • Under #maggiebarrystandingorders only can speak on .
  • @DavidClarkNZ must be on the minimum wage to put forward a minimum wage bill
  • Louisa Wall must get married wage to put forward a marriage bill

All quite funny. I would point out though that I am a regular public transport user, unlike a certain former Green MP who didn't even have a card despite decades of going on about the importance of public transport in Wellington!
