That's the message from Judith Collins as she savages Parliament's Speaker Trevor Mallard - saying her party's lost confidence in him.

Collins says the sheer size of the pay-out shows how serious the matter is.
"It's unacceptable behaviour from the enforcer of rules for MPs and he's no longer fit for the job."
