If I behaved in work meetings like this I would be severely reprimanded, or sacked. Cut his fucking pay, or something, if he can't answer straight forward questions without being a cunt.
And the award for the worst performance of projection, goes to David Seymour.

WTF do you mean 'agree in principle', like I mean the other comments are good, but its a dumb policy and I have no idea why Hipkins thinks otherwise.
