Another Green MP is under scrutiny for behaviour in the house after letting loose the f-bomb during a fiery debate on immigration.

Green MP Ricardo Menéndez March was recorded as telling Labour’s Phil Twyford, “come on, f…, you voted for the bill without those amendments”.

During the committee stage Immigration (Mass Arrivals) Amendment Bill, Twyford said, “if it wasn’t for the four substantive additional safeguards that are contained in the Minister’s Amendment Paper, we would not be supporting it at the committee stage”.

Menéndez March interjected saying, “Your party introduced this bill as it was, come on, f…, you voted for the bill without those amendments”.

Twyford replied saying, “I’m not sure I can ever remember someone who has displayed such incredible self-righteousness as what I have observed in the House this evening from that member”.
