Sir Lockwood Smith: Former Speaker of the House on the Parliamentary clash between ACT and Speaker Gerry Brownlee

ACT Leader David Seymour is alleging racism in Parliament over select committee tensions and claims of personal attacks towards MP Karen Chhour.  The ACT Party says its confidence in the Speaker of the House is “falling by the day”, accusing Gerry Brownlee of failing to address racial harassment in Parliament.  Seymour told Mike Hosking this morning they wrote to the Speaker, calling the issues 'serious.'  He says the response suggested there was no issue.  Former National MP and Speaker of the House Sir Lockwood Smith joined Kerre Woodham to discuss how he’d approach such a situation.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
