ACT asked for advice on imprisonment for Te Pāti Māori MPs over haka

ACT asked for advice on the full range of possible punishments for Te Pāti Māori MPs following last year's Treaty Principles haka - including imprisonment. The Privileges Committee ended up recommending a 21-day suspension for the Te Pāti Māori co-leaders and a week for Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke. ACT MP Parmjeet Parmar, who is on the Privileges Committee, sought advice on possible penalties and asked if this could include a range of examples, including imprisonment. She spoke to Charlotte Cook.
