I was sitting behind him in a National Standards meeting and he was using his touch phone to video and record ‘discreetly’ Anne Tolley, Sam Lotu-Iiga and other members of the publics questions and comments. We all realised he was doing it, and at one point Anne said something like “If you want a copy of the slides Trevor i’ll send them to you”.

If I was a parent genuinely concerned about what was going on, someone who cares about my children’s progress who comes along to one of these meetings I don’t think I’d want my voice to be used in the Labour party caucus- he’ll probably bring us segments in the house or try and table his phone.

I have to question whether this is the best use of time for a constituency MP- and the use of tax payers money for him to fly up to Auckland to ‘hold’ Carol Beaumont’s hand. Time that he could be using to solve cases in his community, perhaps teaching children how to read considering he’s so concerned. Concerned about children’s progress enough to spend recess here videoing a public meeting.

Speaks for itself. More strange behaviour.
