Watch as Speaker Trevor Mallard addresses the Governance and Administration Select Committee.
House Speaker Trevor Mallard has apologised unreservedly for falsely accusing a former parliamentary staffer of rape, which led to a $333,000 taxpayer-funded legal settlement. 
Mallard appeared before the Governance and Administration Select Committee in Wellington on Wednesday where he was grilled by National MPs who have been calling for him to apologise to Parliament.

'Taxpayer invoice' mascot booted from hearing as Speaker Trevor Mallard apologises 'unreservedly' for making false allegation


I m here today because I believe deeply in parliamentary accountability and transparency, Mallard told the committee. 
Addressing the committee chair, National MP Barbara Kuriger, Mallard said: I rang you to offer to appear before the committee because I felt it was important to put on record an apology and offer some context and clarifications around recent events.
Mallard made the accusation after the Debbie Francis report into bullying and harassment at Parliament was made public in May last year. He was commenting on a sexual assault accusation in the report. 
The report did not identify the accused offender, which Mallard said was integral to the review, but he did acknowledge at the time that he knew who the offender was and that the staffer had been stood down. ....

Speaker Trevor Mallard ensured there was a clause permitting him to be answerable to Parliament included in his settlement agreement with the man he alleged was a rapist.
The clause means he can share details of the defamation case when he appears before a select committee on Wednesday and why he revealed he cost taxpayers more than $330,000 in legal costs.
Mallard will front to the special meeting of the Governance and Administration Select Committee to answer questions about the payout after being sued for making the false accusations about the former parliamentary staffer. ....

OPINION:
Trevor Mallard should resign from the Speaker s job, I believe, 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 wellbeing 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 to pay the bill for something he should have known would go against him. ....
