I'm astounded that what National MP Maggie Barry said in Parliament the other day has exploded in this way.
Is Maggie Barry being set upon because of her very strong views against euthanasia?
This has the whiff of a determined character assassination about it.

National MP Maggie Barry's suggestion that a childless Jacinda Ardern can't speak with authority on child laws has been ridiculed on social media.
On Wednesday, in a debate on extending paid parental leave to six months, Ms Barry asked the Labour MP, "How many kids do you have?" and later added: "Don't be so precious, petal."
The comments were mocked on social media, with Twitter users applying Ms Barry's logic to other areas - including whether only the former TV gardening host could talk with authority on an invasion by triffids.
