Barry Soper: Trevor Mallard should resign for his disgraceful behaviour
OPINION
Trevor Mallard should resign from The Speaker s job before he faces a vote of no confidence when Parliament resumes sitting in February.
National s lost confidence in him and Labour, the party that preaches well-being and kindness, surely will have no choice but to vote against his continuing in the role.
It s been confirmed that the almost $334,000 in legal costs have been paid out by the taxpayer. Why? Well Mallard had the rules changed after he made his outrageous comment to protect him from having the pay the bill for something he clearly knew would go against him.
