Is It Permissible to Say that New Zealands Parliament is Filled with Idiots?
Press Gazette (UK): MPs outlaw satire in New Zealand. New Zealand’s Parliament has voted itself far-reaching powers to control satire and ridicule of MPs in Parliament, attracting a storm of media and academic criticism. The new standing orders, voted in last month, concern the use of images of Parliamentary debates, and make it a contempt of Parliament for broadcasters or anyone else to use footage of the chamber for “satire, ridicule or denigration”. This sounds so outlandish that I can’t believe it’s true. We’ll keep an eye on this and let you know.
