Chris Hipkins’ snap press conference to update the status of non-quarantine travel with NSW was delayed at Parliament – by the wedding of an MP.
Ilam MP Sarah Pallett wed longtime partner Andy today, waiting to walk down the aisle before Hipkins could get his standup on the black and white tiles underway.
Video from before the presser shows the Labour MP, wearing a red dress, arm-in-arm with her adult daughters, waiting to be led down the aisle by a bagpipe player.

The pipe player begins, with one of Pallett’s daughters helping with her dress before the trio begin making their way up the aisle.
Hipkins went on to announce that green flights from Covid-stricken Sydney would not go ahead from midnight tonight, as had been previously planned.
Hipkins wished the couple well, saying he'd never previously crashed a wedding.
