ACT MP Simon Court has come under fire in the last few days for comments he made to a submitter in a select committee meeting about menstrual products. 

During a hearing on benefit sanctions a female submitter was outlining concerns about period poverty and the impacts menstrual products can have on a low-income family budget. 

In response to these concerns Court asked if she was aware of, or had people around her aware of, a menstrual cup - outlining its cost and where to buy it. He was heavily criticised by Te Pati Maori, and later Labour for ‘mansplaining’, calling his comments ‘deeply offensive’ as he doubled down. 

For our weekly catch up with the ACT Party Producer Evie spoke to Simon Court about these comments. They also spoke about the Destiny Church protest at Auckland Pride over the weekend, as well as the Director General of Health’s resignation, the third key health role resignation in recent weeks. 

Last week the Treaty Principles Bill was voted down at its second reading, the vote was 112 opposed, to 11 in favour - with only the ACT Party supporting the bill. 

During the reading, MPs from all  parties submitted their views on the bill. Labour Leader Chris Hipkins calling it a ‘grubby little bill’ that would ‘forever be a stain on our country.’ National’s Paul Goldsmith saying the bill was ‘a crude way to handle a very sensitive topic.’ And Te Pati Maori’s Hana Rawhiti Maipi Clarke who has continually strongly opposed the bill saying ‘this bill hasn't been stopped; this bill has been absolutely annihilated.’ 

ACT Leader David Seymour sustains that he will continue to push the bill, but Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has vehemently denied entertaining any other iteration of the issue. 

For our weekly catch up with the ACT Party Producer Evie spoke to Simon Court about the demise of the bill. 

They also discussed a members bill from ACT’s Dr Parmjeet Parmar aiming to remove university opportunities based on race, as well as a new study revealing female MPs are experiencing higher levels of abuse.
