It's been the worst kept secret in Parliament - Trevor Mallard heading off to Ireland as ambassador and handing over the reins as Speaker to Adrian Rurawhe.
The formalities descended into yet another attack on Labour by estranged MP Gaurav Sharma - causing shock and anger on the government benches.

Political editor Jane Patterson was there and filed this report.
