Which party were these Youth MPs from?
The Herald reports:
Several cases of potentially defamatory comments, breaches of privacy and unsupported assertions were found in Youth MPs’ draft speeches by officials tasked with reviewing them before delivery during a Youth Parliament overshadowed by censorship claims earlier this year.
For example, edits were suggested after speeches implied MPs were “accepting bribes or promotion in exchange for supporting certain policies” or made “accusations that funding was misappropriated”, according to the Ministry of Youth Development (MYD).
So some Youth MPs were planning to make defamatory allegations of bribery and theft. No prizes for guessing which party the MPs they were representing would have been from.
