David Carter: former House Speaker on the proposed sanctions set to impact Te Pāti Māori
Manage episode 482867646 series 2098282
A former Speaker believes suggested punishments for three Te Pāti Māori MPs falls short.
Parliament's Privileges Committee has recommended suspensions for the three - for their protest haka during voting on the Treaty Principles Bill.
Parliament will vote next Tuesday on whether to suspend the co-leaders for 21 days, and MP Hana Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke for seven.
David Carter says the haka was 'intimidating' and 'unacceptable'.
"And then to refuse to appear before the Privileges Committee - again, it's yet another contempt of the rules of Parliament."
