This afternoon there was a debate on the Privileges Committe decision on Maori MP Takuta Ferris calling all (I assume) non Maori Party Politicians liars way back on 28 September. It took a bloody long time to get to making a decision but it was well worth the wait.

Well not really for the decision which was read in a monotone by Deputy Committee Chairman Duncan Webb, followed by Scott Simpson in a similar monotone. Both droned on then The Mex had a brief go and then as the old song goes – ALONG CAME JONES on this occasion The Magnificent Shane Jones.

Shane Jones stood up and was absolutely magnificent and he ripped Ferris up into little pieces as he pointed out that Ferris was a disgrace to Maori and all New Zealanders.

Words in a post like this will never do this Shane Jones speech justice and as soon as I can find a You Tube video of his speech and make no mistake there will be one, I will add it to the post.

Thanks to Tom Hunter the video is here: Jones here.

FINALLY: In true TV news bulletin fashion neither TV1 or TV3 bothered to cover this at all.
