Parliament is in clean-up mode after the wheels came off entirely during an explosive late-night session.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is fuming and scolded House Speaker Trevor Mallard on Wednesday for re-litigating sexual assault allegations against a former parliamentary staffer who he d already falsely accused of rape.
But the Prime Minister stopped short of sacking Mallard to the horror of the National Party which has labelled him a disgrace and a bully.
There was barely a peep from Mallard on Wednesday when Newshub approached him for a response. He said he s prevented by court suppression order and mediation agreement from commenting outside the parliamentary process.
