Graeme Edgeler: Electoral Law Expert says Parliament is considering precedent over Rawiri Waititi's conduct in the House

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Sundays

Parliament is checking what it can do about MPs who appear to reference court cases with suppression orders under cover of Parliamentary Privilege.  Te Pāti Māori co-leader Rawiri Waititi was suspended for 24 hours yesterday for the conduct the Speaker labelled grossly disorderly.  Electoral Law Expert Graeme Edgeler told Mike Hosking the precedent is being considered.  He says the speaker sent it to the Privileges committee to ask what should happen in these situations in future.  LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
