Summary
Parliament’s privileges committee has recommended suspending three Te Pāti Māori MPs due to their involvement in a controversial haka last year, which was deemed intimidating to other members. Co-leaders Debbie Ngarewa-Packer and Rawiri Waititi are facing 21-day suspensions, while MP Hana-Rāwhiti Maipi-Clarke is recommended for a seven-day suspension. The committee stated that the actions of the MPs could negatively impact the duties of the House, warranting severe censure.
