Plaudits for Question Time

Posted by Grant Robertson on December 18th, 2009

Hard on the heels of the Brownlee/Parker exchange, parliamentary question time last night received the Wellingtonista award for Best Live Performance in Wellington. I think this was only partly tounge-in-cheek as with Parliament TV, In-The-House and the real thing available to Wellingtonians (for free) it really is theatre for the masses! I happily received the award on behalf of my fellow Parliamentarians, and told the audience that I hope Lockwood will find a place for the certificate on the wall somewhere.

The folks at Wellingtonista do a great job celebrating everything Wellington on-line, and I have really enjoyed their awards night the last couple of years. You can find the full list of winners on their website.

    See how interesting and informative Question time can be when you have a speaker who is not a party hack hell bent on protecting her party.
