Labour's Trevor Mallard has once again been kicked out of the debating chamber during question time, for calling the Prime Minister a chicken.

The opposition was angry at the government for transferring questions on youth unemployment from the Prime Minister to social development minister Paula Bennett.

Labour leader Phil Goff wanted John Key to answer.

That prompted Mr Mallard to say un-parliamentary things about Mr Key, leading speaker Lockwood Smith to order Mr Mallard out of the House.
