Tamati Coffey and Melissa Lee traded barbs in an exchange that was caught on audio today.
Tamati Coffey has been called out after telling fellow MP Melissa Lee to "stick to your job, love".
The two television personalities-turned MPs traded barbs at the end of a select committee hearing at Parliament today.
In an exchange captured on audio, National MP Lee suggests to a staffer thereshould be two microphones when two Ministers appear in front of the Economic Development, Science and Innovation Committee.
But things get a little heated when Labour's Coffey weighs in.
"Hey, hey, stick to your job love," he says. "Ordering around the microphones."
National's Judith Collins later tweeted about the exchange saying she had to tell Coffey that calling a senior female MP 'love' was completely inappropriate.
You will be unsurprised to learn that I have had to tell a woke first term Male Labour MP that addressing a senior National woman MP ( not me) as ‘love’ is not appropriate either.
