The Speaker of the House is clamping down on people teasing Gerry Brownlee about his weight.
Trevor Mallard ended Question Time early today after an exchange between Brownlee and NZ First MP Shane Jones, following yet another personal insult being levelled at the National MP.
Brownlee interjected in a question to Jones about his recent trip to China and Japan, heckling "table the snaps."
Jones misheard this as "table the snacks", to which he replied "don't worry, pork belly was there Gerry".
Mallard was not impressed.
