Parliament has agreed to suspend Te Pāti Māori MP Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke after she started the haka that derailed the party vote for the Treaty Principles Bill.
Speaker Gerry Brownlee said the actions from the MP and her party were “appalling” and “disrespectful”, deeming such pre-meditated behaviour as “grossly disorderly”.
Holding a vote on Maipi-Clarke’s suspension, National, Act and NZ First supported it.
Labour, Greens and Te Pāti Māori opposed it.
Maipi-Clarke was not in the House as the vote was cast.
It’s unclear how long the suspension will last.
