Mallard posted a photo of himself on Twitter holding lawmaker Tāmati Coffey’s one-month-old boy while on duties.
“Normally the Speaker’s chair is only used by Presiding Officers, but today a VIP took the chair with me. He congratulated Coffey, a fellow Labour lawmaker, and his partner on the new member of their family.
