Mallard implies MPs who take the train are drunk
The better Chris Bishop does as a local MP, the more Trevor Mallard tries stuff like this, showing how desperately scared they are that they are going to lose Hutt South to him.
Could you imagine the outrage if a National MP smeared a Green MP, and implied the reason they took the train was because they were drunk.
This is not just any MP, but the MP whom Labour says should be the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Is this a standard of behaviour compatible with being an presiding officer of Parliament?
Trevor Mallard has now deleted his reply, but that doesn’t change the fact he did it.
I don’t know why he ever thought it was a good idea. It really just shows how desperately scared they are of Bishop winning.
