Shane Jones: NZ First MP says the standards for Parliament are slipping, and there should be harsher penalties for misbehaviour in the House
Shane Jones says Parliament's standards are slipping. The New Zealand First MP and David Seymour have both asked Speaker Gerry Brownlee to consider changes in light of Te Pati Māori's haka in the House last week. Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke was 'named', suspended for a day, and had her pay docked for a day. Jones told Mike Hosking the penalties have historically worked, but we live in a world of Tik Tok now. He says we live in a world where, as a consequence of Jacinda Ardern and Trevor Mallard, the rules have been inverted. “I mean, what the hell’s happening to New Zealand?” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
