Listen now
Description
There have been a wide range of responses to Te Pāti Māori’s haka in the House last week.   Speaker Gerry Brownlee has confirmed he’s received complaints, and both David Seymour and Shane Jones have asked him to consider changes.  National's Mark Mitchell says he doesn't know of any rule change that could rein in Te Pāti Māori.  He told Mike Hosking that he doesn’t think they care about any sanctions that will be applied in Parliament.  “They just think that they can do what they like.”  Labour's Ginny Andersen says Te Pāti Māori's rule-breaking needs to be understood in context.  She says this issue means a lot to a lot of New Zealanders, to the extent that it brought tens of thousands of Kiwis to the steps of Parliament to protest.  LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
