Parliament has adjourned a on whether three Te Pāti Māori MPs should be suspended from the House.
Last week, the Privileges Committee recommended the suspensions of co-leaders Rawiri Waititi and Debbie Ngarewa-Packer and MP Hana-Rāwhiti Maipi-Clarke in the wake of a haka that was performed during the first reading of the Treaty Principles Bill last year.
A 21-day suspension was recommended for Waititi and Ngarewa-Packer, while a seven-day suspension was recommended for Maipi-Clarke.
MPs were due to vote on those recommendations at the end of today’s debate. But that has now been adjourned until after Thursday’s Budget.
