	Description:		The High Court says Trevor Mallard was unreasonable, irrational, and unjustified in his decision to trespass NZ First leader Winston Peters from Parliament's grounds. Justice Gwyn says the former speaker's trespass order was an unjustified limitation on Peters' right to freedom of movement under the Bill of Rights. It delivered its judgement today, just hours before the former speaker made his final speech in Parliament. He's been in Parliament for 38 years and in that time he's held 13 ministerial portfolios, been part of a dozen Parliaments and represented three electorates. Speaking in the debating chamber, surrounded by MPs' children, Mr Mallard reflected on his first day as an MP.
