With Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern due back at Parliament soon, Speaker Trevor Mallard has laid down some strict rules to media on taking photographs or filming her daughter Neve.
Ardern's family, including partner Clarke Gayford and baby Neve, will be moving into Wellington's prime ministerial residence Premier House near the Beehive next week.
After speaking to Ardern, Mallard has issued a warning to political media that any filming or taking photos of Neve, even if inadvertent, could result in being stripped of their right to be at Parliament.
Mallard is keen to make Parliament more family-friendly and has been snapped with the children of other MPs in posed photos.
There are seven MPs with babies: Labour's Ardern, Kiri Allen, Willow-Jean Prime and Kris Faafoi and National leader Simon Bridges and MPs Tim van der Molen and Chris Penk. Two more are expecting new babies soon – Labour's Chris Hipkins and Green MP Julie-Anne Genter.
