MPs are on the clock
Members of Parliament are on the clock when they in the House. So if they want to flip the birdie, sleep, or otherwise act improper, they should do it, like the rest of us, in their own homes. The ban on taking photos or television footage showing MPs acting stupid is not only stupid, its just plain wrong.
If my MP decides to sleep during his working day, then not only do I want photos taken of him, I want them blown up to poster size and plastered all over his area and over parliament. I’m not allowed to sleep on the job, nor should he.
I want continuous live coverage of the entire House, streamed over the Internet, available to all New Zealander’s to see what their elected officials are doing when they are suppose to be working.
