He had his own agenda, and he was sticking to it, to denigrate the man who he wrongly labelled a rapist. The only concession he made was the man's life was ruined alright, but only when he committed a serious sexual assault against his accuser. His outburst this week calls into question whether he understands what a serious sexual assault is. As an example, a shocked Judith Collins was even accused by a silly interviewer of not caring about the victims of sexual assault when she was talking about his performance in Parliament. Jacinda Ardern cares about it, delivering the harshest rebuke of a Speaker in living memory for using Parliament in the way he has, but still telling us she has confidence in him.
