Te Pati Maori co-leader suspended from Parliament

From Morning Report, 8:37 am on 30 August 2023

A law expert says there was no surprise in yesterday's suspension of a Te Pati Maori co-leader from the House for twenty-four hours.

Graeme Edgeler says the Speaker in Parliament was right to suspend Rawiri Waititi in response to comments that may have breached court suppression orders.

He spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
