Speaker Gerry Brownlee
The country's political reporters are in a stand-off with the Speaker Gerry Brownlee over his contemplation of a temporary ban of Stuff Digital from Parliament.
Brownlee is set to make a ruling on Stuff's access to the Parliamentary precinct after raising concerns about some of its reporting last month.
The story that prompted the Speaker's ire related to Social Development Minister Louise Upston claiming an accommodation allowance of $1000 per week - which she is entitled to - to live in her Wellington apartment.
