Christopher Finlayson made a real hash of the house this morning. Tried to push the Judicial Matters Bill, a relatively minor bill with nothing urgent in it under urgency. Not the done thing even for minor constitutional reform.
His attempt fell apart when despite being in the house he forgot to take a the call necessary to progress the bill. We then went on to the student loan legislation.
For someone who is the government’s chief legal officer his lack of understanding of process was surprising to say the least.
Maybe “he’s relaxed about it”, like his boss
So what is the bill?
Maybe he will slip in the suffix QC for himself?
Brownlee made a few mistakes at the start of the term, where was the big fella from Chch today..?
