Pot Kettle Black

Here is Annette King in Parliament on 15 May 1997 following Rt Hon Winston Peters touching Hon John Banks on his arm; shoulder or lapel:
 
Hon. ANNETTE KING (NZ Labour---Rongotai): Within 3 minutes of the
announcement on television last night of the Privileges Committee's
decision, the phone in my parliamentary office was ringing. I was
berated by an irate member of the public who was astounded that one
of the highest-ranked leaders of the land could be found guilty of
assault and behaviour unbecoming of a member of Parliament and walk
away with the proverbial wet-bus-ticket slap. I have to say that I am
not happy with the signal this decision sends to young people in New
Zealand, to the public, and to criminals. It says to them that
aggressive, angry, obnoxious behaviour and violence are OK if one's
name is Winston Peters or if one is the Deputy Prime Minister and a
Cabinet Minister. But nothing has changed for the ordinary people of
New Zealand. The full weight of the law would come down on them.
