  • "the honourable member will just have to learn to control his anger" - lol

    "i say to the hon darrien hughes that anyone who doesn't think that hon. trevor mallard said was not an insinuation of lying, doesn't have half the intelligence i attribute to the hon darrien hughes"

    Lockwood Smith is probably the best speaker we've had in recent memory: he doesn't suffer fools, administers the house with a degree of humour, and actually forces ministers to answer questions.

  • Speaker should have named him

  • I still dont like the idea in any country, parliament.. that the Speaker is appointed by what ever party/coalition that wins an election. I think the speaker should be elected by the people in whole different system either in a Party different to the partys in the general elections or independant. I just dont like how you can oversee the Parliament in a party (the goverment) because they won without having any bias or tendency towards the opposition.

  • WOW THIS GUYIS AMAZING

  • your speaker seems so cool! our speaker (UK) John Bercow is a idiot

  • Here in the UK he would have been named, but I am impressed with the way Mr Speaker handled it (certainly I doubt UK Speaker Berkow would have been able to handle it quite so well). I always think It's always a pity when things like this happen, as it takes time away from the chamber which could have been used to discuss policy to benefit the people of New Zealand.

  • thar guy reminds me of how i would react towards my teachers(mr speaker)

  • Trevor mallrd - shut the fuck up. This man is the Mark Latham of NZ politics

  • I agree with fragglet - Lockwood Smith looks like a model Speaker. The current British one, John Bercow, isn't a patch on him and interferes far too much. Most NZ Parliamentary procedures is copied from British including the ban on calling another member a liar - Winston Churchill once accused another MP of telling terminological inexactitudes instead :)

  • He's a damned good speaker you've got there. John Bercow is pretty good but I wish we had someone of this calibre.

  • Lockwood Smith is a great Speaker!!! 

  • Lockwood had his grin wiped away but it was soon taken by Key and English
