If we want our representatives to be able to represent, it's important the rules of the house are clear and consistent - not invented on the fly by Speakers' whims.
Even if he won't admit it, Brownlee's been around long enough to know that he made a mistake. Let's hope the precedent doesn't stick.

Good read.
New respectful behaviour in the house to counter the attacks against politicians, esp women, online by coming down like a tonne of bricks on a female MP may have missed the mark.

The debut album of my alt-country band The Bitter Brothers is now available on your ghastly streaming platform of choice: all original but for one cover called Trouble And Woe. Mildly apprehensive about taking Kyla's double bass on the road but it's bound to be generally a wholesome experience. 🪕

As of this month I've lived in Lyall Bay longer than anywhere apart from my childhood home in Island Bay. Even longer than at the Casa Nova Sauna on Cuba Street.

Just me on Sunday night tuning my first bass guitar that was a 16th birthday present from my dad in 2000. It was made in Japan in 1983.

My fiancée and I just saw our son stand up and take a few steps. Walking before Christmas. Just as I predicted. Very proud.

It's not often that I read a book in under a week but Darksaber by Kevin J Anderson was a real ripper. Working my way back through the old 90s Star Wars novels of my youth. #starwarseu #starwarsexpandeduniverse

Finally got around to starting #terminatorresistance that I bought years ago during a #Steam sale. They totally nailed the desolate, haunting atmosphere punctuated by sudden mechanical violence. I wish it were a bit more open-world as I feel very much guided along so far.
