A former Speaker of the House is reminding MPs the rules of the House must be followed. The Privileges Committee have suggested three Te Pati Māori MPs be temporarily suspended from Parliament, ranging up to 21 days, for their role in a haka over the Treaty Principles Bill. Te Pati Māori says these suspensions are the longest in Parliament's history. Sir Lockwood Smith told Ryan Bridge members need to think before they ignore the rules. He says the three-week suspension and missing part of the budget debate will hopefully make people take notice. The recommendation will be put to the House next Tuesday and likely pass.

I am assuming you got as bored as I did over the break with the obsession—or mania, as Shane Jones quite rightly called it— when it came to ACT's idea of having a chat about the way we view and interpret the Treaty.  The problem with David Seymour is he is too logical, especially for nutters and extremists.  He wants to debate, to toss ideas about, to —dare we suggest— act like an adult and have a discussion.  Hone Harawira, I noted, in one of the alarmist gatherings just referred to the others who don't agree with him as bastards. So, you can see what poor old David is up against.  In an adult world, minds can be changed through logic, and detail, and fact, and reason.  In Hone's world... well, you are a bastard.  The media, I noted, started the new year as they left off: unable to comprehend the fact we've changed govts and therefore outlooks, and fully lined up alongside the Kīngitanga and espoused the alarm, outrage, and upset.  Seymour, if you think about it logically, is to be admired. All he is asking for is a discussion.  Even National who aren't supporting his plan past select committee are taking that position I suspect not because they don't agree with him, but because its messy politics.  They have bigger fish to fry like the economy which has been sinking like a stone. A to be fair to them, I'd make it my number one job as well.  But it is a fair-weather approach that National has specialised in for many years; pick the stuff you can get votes on. The moment it looks a bit gnarly? Walk away.  Seymour to his credit, and the end-of-life choice work he did was an excellent example, picks issues and runs with them with no fear, no favour.  It is a laudable approach driven by principle, something more of us should aspire to.  There is no doubt the Treaty has been interpreted many a different way.  The document is not prescriptive, nor that descriptive. It is open to a multitude of reactions. That's why we have seen the Māori Party formed and reformed, any number of court cases enacted, and lord knows how much activism from the Waitangi Tribunal.  Mostly its caused angst, if not upset. We are not a harmonious nation when it comes to race relations and ACT and Seymour want to talk about it.  If only more were mature enough to give that a crack. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Shane Jones says he's going to be taking Te Pati Māori's recent actions to the new Speaker.   Te Pati Māori MPs defied tradition at Parliament's opening ceremony yesterday by swearing allegiance to both Te Tiriti and their mokopuna, as well as King Charles III.  The New Zealand First MP told Mike Hosking that if it's good enough for Winston Peters and himself to follow the letter of the law and swear allegiance to the King, its good enough for Te Pati Māori.   Jones believes they've contravened section 11 of the Constitution Act, and he will be speaking to Gerry Brownlee.  He says he's also unhappy with the imagery the party used to organise recent protests.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I think part of the comfort we should take around the so-called "rabid outbreak" of free speech this week is that words don't automatically lead to anything. You've got your two prime examples: Chloe Swarbrick and her outburst on Palestine, and Willie Jackson and his outburst on a potential vote over the Treaty.  The difference is one has an implied threat and the other doesn't. Swarbrick should never have said what she said, it's inflammatory.  You have a responsibility as an elected member of Parliament to try and be at least a little bit moderate. But the upset is about her comments specifically, not what might come out of them because little, if anything, will come out of them.  You could argue she adds to the fear that Jews may be feeling right now. So yes, it's highly irresponsible and the fact she doesn't apologise, or get it, makes it worse. But can I ask - what else do you expect?  But with Willie, and might I add that Debbie Ngarewa-Packer of Maori Party and Marama Davidson of the Greens might have suggested something similar, they are talking action.  "Civil disobedience five or ten times worse than the Springbok tour". Now, the trouble with that is that is a straight up-and-down threat.  There is no disguising what that is.  What we are actually talking about here is a vote, a referendum. A question for the people of this country as to how we deal with the Treaty.  The Treaty has been interpreted in a way by the previous Government that many don't like. You could actually argue their treatment of the Treaty may well lead to the sort of result they fear, if it ever got put to a vote.  But that is the insidious thing, isn't it? It never got put to a vote. Things like He Puapua were secret, so have they dug their own grave.  Could it be different if they had been more inclusive? Either way the threat is against democracy. They don't like democracy.  These are people to be feared. Not because they may hit the streets, but because they don't want the rest of us to have a say and they hope before they hit the street they can scare us into submission.  Democracy thrives in sunlight free speech and the exchange of ideas, not anger, bitterness and fear.  But that is what they are selling. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

National's "worst-case scenario" has become a reality - the party needs New Zealand First to form a government. After 20 long days of counting, re-counting and double checking ballots the final election result has been confirmed. National lost two seats, which means it has also lost the slim majority it held with ACT on election night. The Maori Party won two more electorate seats, one by a margin of four votes, resulting in a bigger than usual Parliament. The Green Party has also picked up one more seat, giving it its best ever election result. Here's our political reporter, Katie Scotcher.

Te Pati Maori is calling on the Government to expel the US ambassador for their country's role in the conflict in Gaza. The Party made the same demand about the Israeli Ambassador, accusing Israel of war crimes. The Maori Party say the US Government has poured billions of dollars into Israel's military and claims it's led to the killing of children in Gaza - not done in self-defence. ZB political editor Jason Walls says it's unlikely New Zealand would expel their US ambassador and distance themselves from their international allies.

There are tight margins, party hopping candidates and the potential for electoral history to be made in the Māori seats. The seats remain the Maori Party's avenue to Parliament, given it is again unlikely to reach the five percent threshold. Currently Labour holds six of the seven existing Māori seats.  In Depth te ao Māori journalist Ella Stewart spoke to Corin Dann.

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all.     The campaign: 6/10  Because it's a chance to vote and that should never be taken for granted. But man, it's been hard work in places.     Labour: 4/10  It was negative, it wasn't fought on their record for very good reasons, Hipkins held his own but was pretty much shot from day one.     National: 6/10  A lot of noise, a lot of money and plenty of ideas and policy. Luxon proved by debate number one he was a genuine contender. They've been helped by the polls and the negative view of the Government but strategically blew it on Peters and the second election thought bubble. Tomorrow night will reveal how bad those errors are, or aren't.     The Greens: 7/10  Didn't get the spotlight because they are not a major party and most of the media still report campaigns with a First Past the Post mentality. But they made no dramatic errors, split the work well between leaders and benefited from a soft Labour vote.     ACT: 7/10  Probably the best of the campaigns if you count the whole year. Seymour has been disciplined and relentless, had good one-liners, endless press releases, all the policy ideas you could ever want and was quite entertaining with it. He's marked down if it turns out he peaked a bit soon.     The Maori Party: 3/10  Only because they have been invisible. I assume they are busy in the electorates, although if polling is accurate, they could be the disappointment story of the night and end up going nowhere.     New Zealand First: 8/10  They have partially stolen the show. If they end up in Government they completely stole the show. But, they have policy they can't price, promises they won't keep and a patter from 1995 that about 5% of people keep buying. As far as an effort goes, the return on input is potentially astonishing.      LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This morning's call by National that they will deal with New Zealand First, if they have to, is exactly the sort of thing they should have been able to avoid if they took the advice of people like me weeks ago.  The poll last week showing 82 percent of us wanted to know one way or the other shows how shockingly National misread the mood.  By spending all that time and energy the way Chris Luxon did sticking his fingers in his ears, telling us he wasn't even thinking of it, he didn't want to talk about it, he wasn't above the threshold, he wasn't in parliament, it wasn't an issue, has all led to this.    It's turned into a victory for Winston Peters and a break for Labour.  The line that National had about the Greens and the Maori Party and the coalition of chaos is now null and void, as you look at the prospect of National and Act and Peters, with the latter two openly hating each other.  I still maintain they should have ruled Peters out day one, which would have made him irrelevant. But even if they had said they could work with him, at least you would know where they stood.  It was made worse by Hipkins when he ruled New Zealand First out, one of the few clever things he has managed to achieve in the campaign so far.  The irony was he got full headlines for ruling out a party who had already ruled them out. He wasn't going to work with a party that had already said they weren't working with him but most people forgot that and he got the upper ground he was after.  Cue Luxon, bumbling and stumbling his way through question after question, refusing to deal with an elephant in the room that was getting more and more embarrassing.    So, this morning you get the back down where Luxon is forced to admit he will have to deal with him if necessary.  My guess is it won't come to that. My guess remains that National and Act on the night will in fact have plenty to do it by themselves.  But as you will also see today, the other prediction I made last week is already coming to pass; National will start to run the line about complacency. "Don't think it's over, don't take a National win for granted, you've got to vote".  What National want at this stage of the campaign is ongoing momentum, they want to be controlling the narrative. By failing to deal with Peters early, they have strategically failed.  It isn't the end of the world, but they never needed to be here if they had had a proper plan from day one.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Radical" is how the Maori Party describes its own tax policy. And the National party agrees, but for different reasons. If in power Te Pati Maori will remove GST from all kai and make the first $30,000 of income tax free. It will also introduce two top end tax brackets of 42 percent and 48 percent for income over 180,000 and 300,000 respectively. And there will also be wealth and ghost house taxes..

The Maori Party have surged ahead in the latest Roy Morgan political poll. The party have reached 7 percent, a historically high level of support 13 weeks out from the October election. ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says the Maori Party essentially got ahead by doing nothing. "Other than making a noise and other than having a defection from Labour for Meka Whaitiri, they haven't done a lot. I don't believe the Maori Party would return 7 percent in the polls come October."

If polling out today is anything to go by, the Maori Party are going to be a force at this election. The Roy Morgan poll has the Party at 7 percent. Which is huge, it's the highest level of support the Party has ever registered. But that's not the thing that's convinced me they'll do well. What's convinced me is the movement of the voters in the poll. You can see clearly see voters moving from the Greens to the Maori Party. Greens down 2.5 percent, Maori Party up 2.5 percent. This is the very thing we've been warning about on the show for the last few weeks. The Maori Party is basically what the Green Party used to be. Radical, environmental, campaigners against poverty. They're doing the Greens, just better than the Greens. They're the ones standing outside the Oranga Tamariki facility at the weekend painting the boys demanding KFC on the roof as victims, planning to introduce a ghost house tax of 2 percent, introducing a failed bill to ban seabed mining and slamming the Government for failing to deal to climate change. The Greens can't do this stuff anymore. First, because they're part of the go-slow Government. And also because they're deliberately trying to tone it down so they don't freak out swing voters who know Labour comes with the Greens attached. But what it means is they're a watered-down version of themselves. Their wealth tax released last month was still kooky to me and you, but it was a lot less kooky than the plan they released last election to tax any wealth over $1 million- which is just a stock standard Auckland house. Marama Davidson's done bugger all to fix the housing crisis as the Associate Minister, James Shaw has failed to tax the farmers as Climate Change Minister and nothing is a bottom line ahead of this election. So far, there are literally no points of principal that are important enough for the Greens to give up the chance of being in Government. So that explains 2.5 percent of voters moving from them to their copy cats who are doing a better job of being the Greens. Now I don't think the Maori Party will be kingmakers at the election, but I reckon there's a good chance they will at least double their two MPs.

National can call it what they like, they can say it's a refinement, they can say it's a sensible change; they can say it's more ambitious. But it's a back down. They've backed down on their support of the housing density law. Good. They should never have signed up to that idea in the first place. It was stupid  Just think about what it actually meant for you. Your neighbour could knock down their house and replace it with up to three houses, each three storeys high- without consent.  Whoever thought that was going to be popular with homeowners needs to have another think. And here's the thing: homeowners, or people who are ambitious to become homeowners, will account for a lot of National's support base. So they only annoyed their own voters.  For probably the last week and a bit, I have been asking people what they think is going wrong for National. Why National keeps making so many silly calls that they have to back down from, or tidy up, or clarify, that they run the risk of losing an unlosable election. And I reckon I've got to the bottom of at least part of the problem. They can't tell us what they stand for, because they don't know what they stand for. Because I think there are some key people in the National Party who are actually embarrassed by the National Party. They're embarrassed by the Nats' traditional ‘tough on crime' rhetoric; they're embarrassed by the Nats' protection of home owners, they're embarrassed by ruling out the Maori Party in case they get labelled racists by the kookies on the left. They're essentially embarrassed to be conservatives, I think, or to be in a party with conservatives.  Which would explain why National is basically indistinguishable from Labour right now. Because these people belong in Labour. The Nats need to understand there's nothing embarrassing about being conservative.  It's probably become something of a fuddy-duddy label in central Wellington and among hip young Gen Z-ers.  But if you're a home owner who is sick of watching ram raids and smash and grabs and you're among the 96 percent of NZ who don't intend to vote for the Maori party, you probably don't mind a bit of conservative politics.  As much as having to back down sucks for National, it's good for them.  Because it's probably what their voters want- and aren't embarrassed to say they want.

The latest TVNZ Kantar opinion poll would see a National - ACT Government. ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says unlike earlier recent polls, the Maori Party wouldn't hold the balance of power.

ACT's steady on 11 percent, and bickering in the Greens has seen them drop 4 percent to 7. New Zealand First is steady on 3 - and Te Pati Maori has dropped 1, to 2.

So what advantage does Winston Peters give himself by ruling out Labour after the election? His famous trick, if that's what you want to call it, was to play guessing games. He always said the voters would decide, which of course they never did. The voters voted and then Peters decided based on what he wanted to do. By ruling out Labour this time is he playing a new trick? He ruled "this lot" out. Who are "this lot?” Labour? Or just a few of the Labour leadership? In other words, is there wriggle room here? Or are we supposed to take him at his word? He will not be doing a deal with Labour. He is also not doing a deal with the Maori Party. That doesn't really matter because the Maori Party and the Labour Party for the sake of deals are the same party. He's also had trouble with ACT in the past. Or was it that ACT had trouble with New Zealand First? So if ACT rules out New Zealand First, where does that leave National? National have previously ruled out New Zealand First but that was another day, different leadership. Although you would have to think that if they ruled him out now, that's him stuck. That is why he might have made an error ruling out Labour. Why are you voting for a party that, famously, keeps them honest, if neither major party wants to touch you? You have no deals and therefore you are a minor player that makes no difference at all. In a crapshoot type of result, it is possible that New Zealand First is needed, by either party, and they play the cross bench game. In other words it's a minority government, needing the Winston tick on individual bits of law. The odds of that happening are slim to say the least, and certainly not something you would want to campaign and bank on if you were Peters. And that's before you get to the age old issue of New Zealand First. Having seen them run around the mulberry bush with all and sundry many a time, just what is it that's left that excites you? Why are you looking at that tired old mess yet again? Don't get me wrong in ruling out Labour he's made a sensible call, who would work with them again? But, talk about limiting your options.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

THE BEST BITS IN A SILLIER PACKAGE (from Monday's Mike Hosking Breakfast) Another Cup In the Cabinet/Is Anybody Watching?/Race-Based Anything Is a Bit of an Issue/Getting to My PlaceSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Winston Peters has declared next year's election the most important in voters' lifetimes, as he gears up for a comeback from his 2020 disaster result. New Zealand First held its annual conference in Christchurch over the weekend - its leader closed the meeting yesterday afternoon. In a near hour-long scattergun speech, Peters took aim at the government's approach on immigration, crime, climate change, and co-governance. In some of his most inflammatory remarks, he accused Labour - along with the Greens and Maori Party - of ramming a separatist agenda down voters' throats. Peters highlighted the Three Waters programme as an example of flawed co-governance. Peters also attacked the ACT Party, questioning its authenticity and track record - and suggested its leader David Seymour was nervous. Seymour, in response, told RNZ everybody should be nervous about the prospect of Peters' making a return.

Chris Hipkins deserves a lot of praise for backing the cops in this debate about whether they're allowed to take photos of kids . This is not a natural position for a Labour MP to take. On one side you've got the police who've been taking thousands of photos of kids who haven't yet committed a crime. And on the other side you've got the Office of Privacy Commissioner and the IPCA both of whom have slammed the police for doing this unlawfully, and you've got the media writing headlines about the fact that around half those kids were Maori, seemingly implying racism among the cops. I feel like it's more natural for a Labour MP to come down on the side against the police, especially given his party has committed to doing "reducing the prison population" through "progressive policing". This is the opposite of progressive policing; this is just straight, old fashioned policing.  If Chris Hipkins is true to his word, the criticism he's copping isn't over yet. He's not ruling out passing a law to make it legal for the police to take photos which might end up being what he has to do. That's going to provoke howls of outrage from human rights luvvies and the Green Party and the Maori Party, all of whom are more likely allies of Labour most of the time than not. So Chris Hipkins deserves a lot of praise for backing the police here. And I'm sure this will be a huge relief to the front line coppers who've had to suffer quite a few years now of working under a Police Commissioner and a Minster and a Government who haven't had their backs. The Police Commissioner stopped them pursing fleeing drivers, he pulled the armed response teams, he took them off the front line and sent them to baby-sit Hone Harawiras iwi led checkpoints. And they've had a Police Minister who didn't want to arm police because the communities she represented didn't want that. They've had a Government who froze their pay. It must feel great to hear their Minister say he's going to square up to the criticism and make sure they can do their jobs.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I've suspected something for a while, and now that I've watched the Sunday programme on the emergency housing disaster in Roturua, I'm convinced.  Rotorua will not recover from this.  It will not go back to being the city it was.  It's just not possible.  This has gone too far now. 50 motels on or near Fenton Street are housing the homeless. There are about 1100 people in Rotorua in these motels or similar. All of these people need houses. The council reckons it's going to take them 5 years, at least, to build enough homes which means for the next five years those people are still in those motels, trashing them like we saw on Sunday. Causing fights on the street outside. Freaking neighbours out so they sleep with baseball bats by the door. So for the next five years they will also keep trashing Rotorua's reputation.   Who of us are going to want to go on holiday to Rotorua? If we can afford to go to Hawke's Bay or New Plymouth or Queenstown, why would we go to Rotorua? Which means there will be no other business for those motels, really, other than to keep doing what they're doing . Eventually - if it hasn't already happened - this will drive families out of town.  Parents will take their kids and find jobs and schools in towns that are safer and have a future. They will sell their houses before the value falls too far. And the people who will be left behind will be those too cash strapped to leave, the emergency accommodation people, the moteliers and the security guards. National and the Maori Party are right to call for an inquiry into what's happened here.  This is as Rawiri Waititi says "a train wreck". We will probably for decades talk about what the 6th Labour Government did to Rotorua.   But no inquiry will rescue Rotorua.  The damage is done.  The one time jewel in our tourism crown seems destined to end up like Patea: a town that ran out of opportunities. Rotorua is just a bigger version. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Maori Party have had to retract an inflammatory statement.This morning, Maori Party president Che Wilson announced they would not be entering a candidate for the Tauranga by-election over a claim that a Department of Internal Affairs report stating Tauranga is a hotspot for hate speech and white supremacy.But the report did not mention the report didn't mention Tauranga.Meanwhile, the Human Rights Commissioner has written the Prime Minister over the Traffic Light System.The letter mentions an acceleration of “othering” between the vaccinated and unvaccinated.Newstalk ZB Chief Political Reporter Jason Walls joined Heather du Plessis-Allan.LISTEN ABOVE

Here's a tip for the Maori Party: if you're going to go out and suggest an entire electorate is racist, you need to get your facts straight.The Party's announced today it is not standing a candidate in next month's Tauranga's by-election because doing so would mean “consciously sending out people into an unsafe environment”.You might wonder why is Tauranga so unsafe for the Maori Party? Apparently, they back up this claim in their press release by saying this: “A Department of Internal Affairs report published in April this year confirmed that Tauranga is a hotspot for hate speech from white supremacists on social media.”The trouble is if you go to that report, there is not a single mention of Tauranga. So that report did not say that Tauranga is a hotspot. Not at all.So the Maori Party just made this up.Now they have since corrected their press release. Now their new press release say it's just their own reckons, not the Department of Internal Affairs' reckons that Tauranga is a hotspot for hate speech.They base that on a bunch of things.The first hate speech conviction happening in Tauranga, the shouting down of a woman speaking Te Reo at a public event happening in Tauranga and white supremacists' leaflets being dropped in letterboxes in Tauranga.It's worth noting on the first point that the man convicted of hate speech had a disability that made him unable to realise the idiocy of what he was doing.So I'm not entirely sure how reflective that is off the place.Regardless, you hear those three events, it might give you pause for thought, maybe the place is a hotbed for racism?If that is the case then tell me this: why did Tauranga, for 35 of the last 38 years, choose Maori candidates to represent them in Parliament?Winston Peters and Simon Bridges.The fact that a majority of their voters kept voting for two Maori MPs for most of the four decades hardly suggests and electorate of racists, does it?I suspect the Maori Party knows this and this is just a stunt. This clickbait nonsense has got them more attention than any candidate would've in that by-election.But it is juvenile making a generalisation about an entire electorate like that.It's divisive to racebait like this when they know that the debate is already charged enough by concerns around the Maori co-governance agenda.You gotta see this for what it is: it is headline hunting from a party that's polling 2.5 percent.

On Te Waonui this week, the last surviving member of the 28th Maori battalion is knighted, A Bay of Plenty councillor is coping racial abuse for his moko mataora and Act Leader David Seymour rules out supporting the Maori Party's position on Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

National says the cost of living crisis is highlighted in the latest Newshub Reid Research poll.National is up 9.2 points at 40.5 percent surpassing Labour's 38.2 percent, falling 6.1 points.Act and the Greens have both dropped while the Maori Party has nudged half a point up.National Leader Christopher Luxon told Mike Hosking he believes the public sees National as better economic managers.“What we need is a really good inflation fighting plan, all these guys are doing is spending money and actually not getting those outcomes and confusing spending with success.”LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
