Do as I say, not as I do

Stuff reports:

A social media faux pas while en route to a tangi caught Green Party Co-Leader Marama Davidson out as she was “snapped” by her colleague driving over the speed limit on Sunday.

Davidson was travelling to the tangi of former Te Pāti Māori president Whatarangi Winiata when she was exposed by fellow Green MP Hūhana Lyndon, who shared a video of Davidson behind the wheel on Instagram as part of a series showcasing the pair’s journey.

What Lyndon did not account for, however, was the speedometer appearing in full view of the camera, and on it, evidence of what Davidson would later say was a self-proclaimed “error”.

In what can only be described as an inadvertent oversight by Lyndon, the said video showed Davidson was driving at 121kph, 11kph over the designated speed limit on the Kāpiti Expressway.

Having your own colleague pout your speeding is rather hilarious.

The Greens have previously been vocal opponents to speed limit increases, and a party press release last year said the government was “playing politics with people’s lives” when it moved to raise the limits on rural undivided roads.
