Her quickfire retort came after a National MP - believed to be Todd Muller - disputed her claim that the average age in Parliament is 49.
The exchange, caught on Parliament TV, reverberated around the internet and the world, sparking a flurry of articles everywhere from The Washington Post to MTV.
Apple Tried To Catch Red On Vague Patents -- And Lost
Red Digital Cinema appears to be the winner in a months-long patent spat with Apple over its RAW video codec. Apple claimed in its challenge that Red shouldn’t have been able to patent its RedCode Raw codec in the first place. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ultimately didn’t agree. To rewind a bit, the Apple–Red dispute dealt with capturing RAW video. Specifically, Apple contended that Red’s patent was overly vague when it should have been super detailed because it was cribbed from two other existing patents. One dealt with how to capture lossless RAW video at 2K and 4K resolutions; the other had to do with video compression.

© Image - Facebook; Video - Parliament TV Chlöe Swarbrick used the phrase in Parliament. Now, a media company is hoping to cash in on the popular meme.
On November 11, Fox Media filed a trademark application to use the phrase as a title of a TV show, The New York Times reports.
And it's not the only company hoping the meme will translate into commercial gain. Five other trademark applications from different companies are also pending, according to the Times.
The phrase first emerged in 2019 and has quickly become a rallying cry for the younger generation who are fed up with older people, or the Baby Boomer Generation (those born between 1946 and 1964).
When asked what the phrase meant to her, Swarbrick said it was a "simple summarisation of collective exhaustion".
