Sir Lockwood Smith: Former Speaker of the House on the calls to revisit the rules of Parliament

from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB

There are calls for Parliament's Speaker to dish out harsher punishments for things like Te Pati Māori's haka in the House.   Speaker Gerry Brownlee's confirmed he's received complaints.   David Seymour and Shane Jones have both asked him to consider changes.   Former Speaker Sir Lockwood Smith told Ryan Bridge that in recent years, in consultation with the Speaker, iwi present at Treaty Settlements have been able to perform a haka or waiata.   He says there's no reason that can't happen, but it can't just be dumped on the House.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
