According to a 21 May 03 article in the New Zealand Herald, the speaker of the New Zealand Parliament corrected an MP -- Katherine Rich -- for using the expression "sweet bugger all" on the floor of the house. Speaker Jonathan Hunt advised Ms. Rich to use another expression. Hunt defended his chastisement by saying that there was no need to use the word "bugger" in Parliament out of "respect for the English language."
