Mark Parton, who was a social-media consultant before he was elected to the Legislative Assembly, published a short video that mocked the institution's rules.

Ms Burch ordered Mr Parton this morning to delete both videos.

"The implication in the second video is that I am opposed in some way to democracy and that I am not being impartial in my duties in singling out Mr Parton," Ms Burch said. "I would remind members that there is an election due in October this year and there may be over 100 candidates seeking to be elected to this place," Ms Burch said

However, while he deleted the first video, which featured Mr Stanhope's portrait, he initially refused to delete the second.

How juvenile. Radio presenter and social media consultant turned politician. You aren't allowed to use legislative facilities for electioneering, rules is rules.

who'd have thought - a Liberal politician breaking the rules.

another liberal flopknob - who would have thought? 🤡

He does have the PM's tantrum at the speaker as a role model

Just so I understand.... it's ok if they tell bald-faced lies to us, but it's not ok if they impugn each other...?

Why are politicians using TikTok?

Good on Mark.. we need to remember his name, he may be one of the honest ones.

China spy teacher defends right to serve as NZ MP | Sky News AustraliaNew Zealand Politician Dr Jian Yang has defended his right to serve in the country's parliament after it surfaced he spent a decade teaching English to Chinese spies.\n\nDr Yang became an MP in 2011 but it wasn't until 2017 that it emerged he'd spent a decade at Chinese military institutions.\n\n'It is just incredible in the extreme that that could be happening in our country,' Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters said. \n\nDespite having worked at the spy school, Dr Yang denied he was himself a spy and his loyalty was to New Zealand.\n\nDr Yang's re-selection as a National candidate earlier this year was confirmed in a Chinese-only language statement.\n\nNZ Opposition Leader Todd Muller described the MP as a 'hard worker' who 'serves Auckland well'.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia Huh? We really have to stop playing the nice guy to China. Everything they do they do to hurt Australia... we KNOW this for a fact now. Now teach kiwi spies Chinese. They’re going to need it.
