Points of Order

Television New Zealand—Fiji Government

BrownleeGERRY BROWNLEE (National—Ilam) Link to this

I raise a point of order, Madam Speaker. The issue I raised is a serious one. A democratically elected Government in the Pacific has been overthrown, and it would be completely inappropriate for Commodore Bainimarama to have been assisted in any way by New Zealand’s State-owned broadcaster. I wonder whether we might expect a ministerial statement on this matter later in the afternoon.

CullenHon Dr MICHAEL CULLEN (Leader of the House) Link to this

I emphasise again that there is no ministerial responsibility. If the member would like to seek leave to put immediately, without debate, a motion deploring Television New Zealand’s actions, I would certainly have no objection to that.

WilsonMadam SPEAKER Link to this

The matter that Mr Brownlee raised was not actually a point of order; it was more a point of debate. But we have had a response. We shall move on now.
