National is being warned that its pledge to change laws in the first 100 days will probably take some time to implement.  The party committed to an action plan to deliver on promises including the banning of gang patches, repealing Labour's water services reform legislation, and cracking down on serious youth offending.  Barrister and constitutional law expert Mai Chen told Mike Hosking that this won't get off the ground straight away.  She says no laws can be changed until Parliament is re-established, so it will be difficult to implement most of the first 100 days programme.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Parliament's Privileges Committee is to consider whether Education Minister, Jan Tinetti, deliberately misled Parliament. In February, she told the house she was not responsible for the release of school attendance data, but staff told her later this was wrong. However, Ms Tinetti did not correct the record until May 1 after she received a letter from the Speaker. The matter has been referred to the Privileges Committee, to decide if the Minister's delay in correcting the inaccurate statement amounts to contempt. It has been 15 years since an MP was referred to the Privileges Committee - the last person was Winston Peters in 2008. Constitutional law expert, Mai Chen, spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss this morning.
