The Standard gets it wrong

Tane at The Standard blogs about Bob Clarkson:

For those who missed it last time, here's Bob's entire contribution to Parliament since August last year:

* (17 Oct 2007) Interjection : “Bureaucratic!”
* (10 Oct 2007) Interjection : “Tell us the end of the story.”
* (19 Sep 2007) Interjection : “Force?”
* (22 Aug 2007) Interjection : “A bit like the Labour Government.”
* (21 Aug 2007) Interjection : “Yes, I did, actually.”

Now I went over to Hansard to check this out. Now I didn't have time to go through the whole database, so just looked at the last six weeks before Parliament rose.

He made a speech on the first reading of the Mauao Historic Reserve Vesting Bill. He also made speeches during the committee stage of the Building Amendment Bill. He asked an oral question on Tin-based Timber Treatment and also made a speech during the Building Amendment Bill's second reading.

So that is three speeches and a primary question just in November and December.   Yet The Standard ignores all of those, and claims five interjections are his “entire contribution” since August.

I am sure they will do the decent thing, and do a prominent apology to Bob.
