At least I think the following is a conundrum.
Since Parliament started sitting and the Maiden Speeches started, I watched a fair number but not all, one thing has intrigued me.
That is who is tallest of the current batch of Parliamentarians?
In my view there are two contenders:
Jamie Arbuckle – New Zealand First
Tim Costley – National
I have googled each of them, looked at the Parliamentary website and nowhere can I find how tall either is. I have not seen any photos af them standing in close proximity of each other which would help me.
Who of you will provide the answer?
Is there a contender I have overlooked?
No Minister 
Rawiri……Siggghhhhhsss long and loud…
‘Geez Cuz!!!!!! How many times, E Hoa, does I need to tell youse…. Maori are the tallest in parliament… we stand on our tipunas shoulders and carry their mana with our genetically superior DNA (check our web thing it used to said so and its true anyways!) – we is like actual Giants Bro!!!
So you pakeha (word spat to emphasis its an insult) needs to shut up A!’
Big R (not so big since the stapling but still flubby!) turns away….
‘Anyways Debs where is the gangster rap and ragga happening tonights? And whos bringing the crates and Kai?’

Trev you can only get away with introducing the `tattooed charlatanr’ to the debate if he measures up height wise.
I ruled him well out of all equations.
PDM that is just your Pakeha way of understand language E Hoa!
Rawiri is a GIANT, Tane Mahuta may life!
; )
I give in Trev
Carmel Sepuloni? Or does she just look very tall because she stands next to wee Chippy a lot?
