In 2017, Trevor Mallard, Speaker of the New Zealand House of Representatives, sure was eager to welcome kids to NZ Parliament….
He made an effort to:
-
Hold MPs’ babies in his speaker’s chair during parliamentary debates
-
Allowed babies to be fed in the house
-
And planned for a children’s playground on one of parliament’s front lawns
