UPDATE: Labour MP Peeni Henare has been added to the list of Haka aggressors and miscreants and is to appear before the Privileges Committee on 12 March at 5.30pm according to the Herald. At least he respects some Parliamentary protocols.
The `other lot’ from the Maori Party have been ASKED – that is right asked – to attend at the end of the month.
I say again they have been asked to attend – they bloody well should have been told to be there – or else!!!!!
The cheeky pricks, Waititi, Ngarewa-Packer and Maipi-Clark say they have not yet responded to the request.
Parliament has become a bloody kindergarten!!!!
Link to the Herald Article follows:
From Earlier today
Is today or even tomorrow the day that The (Powerful) Privileges Committee reports on the disruptive Haka on 16 November 2024. You know the Haka that stopped the voting on the Treaty Principles Bill first reading.
What action will the Privileges Committee recommend be taken against Maori Party Co-Leaders Rawiri Waititi and Debbie Ngarewa Packer plus their colleague MP Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke all of whom aggressively advanced across the Chamber threatening ACT Party MP’s with Ms Ngarewa-Packer making pistol imitations with her fingers towards ACT Leader David Seymour.
Come on Speaker `Big Gerry’ it is almost 4 months since this disgraceful and unedifying assault on New Zealands Parliamentary procedures went world wide.
Enough is enough I say and just because Ms Clarke has already lost a days pay by being suspended from the House does not mean that further action should not be taken.
ps It does not look as though today will be today because there is nothing on the Order Paper for Todays Business in the House.
No Minister
