Today in the House, I questioned the new Minister of Consumer Affairs on his past record.
A quirk of Parliamentary procedure is that during Question Time, a Minister is not response for comments that they have made as an MP.
In the case of Mr Boscawen, his comments as a ACT MP run countercurrent to the position of his new colleagues in cabinet.
I guess that Minister Boscawen and Mr Boscawen should meet some time and figure out who is ‘right’ on the costs of climate change.

What a ridiculous farce. In a way, you can understand with collective responsibility of Cabinet that there must be a distinction and indeed the silly events with Winston Peters when he was foreign affairs Minister reinforces the capture for Ministers outside Cabinet too, furstrating as it might be.
But… the Speaker really does LOVE his own voice, pious, preaching from the pulpit with every ounce of assistance possible to his underqualified coalition buddy. Could that man really be any further up himself?
He could be a novelty coin – you know – one with two faces
