Taxpayers are expected to cover at least $55,000 in legal fees following former Speaker Trevor Mallard's trespassing of Winston Peters from Parliament. Winston Peters was the most high-profile name issued a trespass notice for attending the 23 day vaccine mandate protest outside Parliament earlier this year. Barry Soper, ZB's political editor highlighted that Trevor Mallard has cost the taxpayers a lot in legal fees, especially coming after the $330,000 taxpayers had to foot after Mallard falsely accused a Parliamentary staff member of rape.
