That this dreadful individual gets such an honor will hopefully see an end to them. One assumes the previous Chippy government was responsible for it. We’ve commented a few times, and our policy is only to use the ‘Sir’ when the person definitely deserved it; not otherwise.

Former Parliament speaker and Labour Party hack Trevor Mallard is among the five new knights and dames being recognised alongside 146 others on the 2024 New Year Honours list.
Note: In February 2022 the National Party filed a motion of No Confidence in The Mallard:
“That the House has no confidence in the Rt Hon Trevor Mallard as Speaker of the House of Representatives due to his childish, provocative and embarrassing behaviour during the occupation of and protest at Parliament grounds in February 2022, which was counterproductive to resolving the situation and done without the support of the New Zealand Police.”
Garrick Tremain’s view

Well past time to shut the bloody rort down for good.
what a joke
Sad state of affairs when a Wally like that is given a gong.
Please don’t tell me this ‘ Midnight sprinkler’ moron is back in NZ
People like Ardern “The Colgate Queen”, Mallard “The Quacking Duck” and others of the Liebour party and their associates do not deserve to stand next to good New Zealand citizens that have deserved their individual honors’ like, Sir John Kirwin. Giving these criminals an award is a slap in face for NZ DEMOCRACY. Instead they should all be put on Trial for inhumanity crimes committed against NZ citizens for mandating the Covid jab.
from Peter:
Like many fair minded New Zealanders, I am appalled that Mallard received an Honour in the New Year’s Honours list.
The award brings to mind the question of what advice was given to the present cabinet by Internal Affairs in relation to the award.
Some serious thought must be given to an Official Information Request.
