WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND - AUGUST 09:  Green co-leader James Shaw prepares for a television interview following the resignation of co-leader Metiria Turei at Parliament on August 9, 2017 in Wellington, New Zealand. Turei has come under fire following her admissions that she enrolled at a false address to vote for a friend and lying to Work and Income to keep her benefit in the 1990s.

The Speaker of the House was left tongue-tied in Parliament yesterday after a request from Green Party Co-Leader James Shaw. 

"If you are looking at further reforms I wonder if we could take a look at the rule that requires gentlemen to wear ties," Shaw asked speaker Trevor Mallard. 

Former National Leader Simon Bridges is keen to keep the accessory in rotation tweeting: "It may not be the biggest issue the world faces but men who come to Parliament should wear ties.

"It's not a bar, or a club, or a business, it's a national Parliament."

Should men wear ties to work?
