Te Pati Māori has had an eventful week, with two prominent MPs being ousted from the party. Party leader John Tamihere said that this was done to prevent an internal coup – however that may not be the case. Senior Political Correspondent Barry Soper told Heather duPlessis-Allan that a, “attempted takeover of the party's leadership was a made-up story.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Labour Leader is “absolutely disgusted” by the handling of complaints against Jevon McSkimming by former Police Commissioner Andrew Coster. The Police Complaints Authority has released a report finding some of our highest-ranking Police didn't deal properly with a woman's anonymous complaints against the former Deputy Police Commissioner. Hipkins is deeply disappointed in Coster, and believes the Police have a right to feel very disappointed in him as well. “Clearly he had standards that he needed to uphold as a Commissioner of Police, and he did not do that.” He says the frontline police, who go to work every day with high levels of integrity to serve the public and keep them safe have been badly, badly let down by the leadership.

An iwi leader says fractures within Te Pāti Māori are unhelpful for Māori political goals. Te Pāti Māori's National Council has opted to expel Mariameno Kapa-Kingi and Takuta Ferris from the party. Both have labelled the expulsion unconstitutional and will sit as Independent MPs for now. Te Rūnanga O Toa Rangatira Chief Executive Helmut Modlik told Ryan Bridge this is distracting for more important issues. He says there needs to be a focus on getting this current Government out because of its harmful policies toward Māori. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Labour Leader and MP for Rimutaka, Chris Hipkins joins Nick Mills in the studio to discuss the new unemployment rates - the highest in eight years. In their monthly catchup they also discussed the new proposal of a bill to give police more power to remove people from the streets, the turmoil and worries within Te Pati Māori and how it effects Labour and their new polcies, and rumours of any future ones.

Efforts to find peace within Te Pati Maori's ranks look increasingly futile - with the party's leadership pouring fuel on the fire - accusing detractors of trying to oust them. The party's national council now appears to be gearing up to expel the two MPs - who the leaders says have gone rogue. Acting political editor Craig McCulloch reports.

The Opposition Leader's again expressing concern about Te Pati Maori, but not yet ruling out working with them. Toxic culture claims by Eru Kapa-Kingi were followed by the party releasing documents accusing him of threatening Parliamentary staffers. They also show his mother, recently demoted Whip MP Mariameno Kapa-Kingi, was warned about risking budget overspend. Chris Hipkins says it's clear Te Pati Māori has some internal issues to work through before they'd be in a position to form a government. Chris Hipkins told John MacDonald any decisions about whether or not they'd form a coalition with Te Pati Māori will come closer to the election, as an awful lot can happen between now and then. However, he says, if there was an election today, he'd say they're not in a position at the moment to play a constructive role in future government.

Today on Politics Wednesday, Mark Mitchell and Ginny Andersen joined Mike Hosking to delve into the biggest political stories of the week so far. Slipping parliamentary standards are back at the forefront, with Speaker Gerry Brownlee planning to crack down on behaviour after yet another incident.

A former Speaker of the House is confident attempts to tighten parliamentary standards will be successful. Current speaker Gerry Brownlee's cracking down on behaviour following what he sees as multiple disruptive incidents. The latest saw Te Pati Māori MP Oriini Kaipara's maiden speech go well over time. David Carter told Mike Hosking Brownlee will definitely get the majority support from Parliament to do this. Carter says Brownlee just needs to show the will to enforce stricter standards.

Parliament's Speaker will meet MPs across the House today, as he cracks down on behaviour. Gerry Brownlee's spoken about Te Pati Māori's newest MP, Oriini Kaipara, going over-time in her maiden speech on Thursday, and joining a haka that started in the public gallery. He now says he'll convene Parliament's Business Committee to discuss dress standards, attendance records, leave, and the allocation of questions.

Support for a crackdown on dress codes and behaviour in Parliament. Speaker Gerry Brownlee's cracking down on rules in the House following what he sees as multiple disruptive incidents. The latest saw Te Pati Māori MP Oriini Kaipara's maiden speech go well over time. He will look at attendance records, dress standards, and leave provisions. Political commentator Liam Hehir told Ryan Bridge dressing for particular environments reminds you you're there for an occasion.

There's a warning for Hipkins as he plots higher taxes for Kiwi businesses, investors, and savers - it comes from across the ditch. Albanese's been having problems getting his super tax plan across the line, despite having a majority in Parliament. The Opposition to it has come not just from the usual suspects, but also former PM and Labor stalwart Paul Keating - even the Unions cried boohoo. So he's had to U-turn on unrealised gains, which have always been a stupid thing to try and tax. How can you pay tax on money you haven't earned? The Greens want to do this. David Parker wanted to it. Te Pati Māori wants it. And Debbie said at the weekend that she and Chippy are on the same page when it comes to a wealth tax. He denies this, but does anyone believe a guy who won't tell you what he's really thinking or what he really stands for? Until he rules something in or out, he looks like a guy plotting in secret. He and Barbara are squirrelled away with an abacus and a calculator quietly conjuring up a new and inventive revenue streams. We're left wondering whose business, whose property is ripe for the picking. The warning from Australia is pretty night and day, if you're going to tax something, and that's a big "if" here at home, but if you're going to do it, you'd better make sure it's a realised gain and not a tax on imaginary, on-paper earnings.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oriini Kaipara is promising to use te Reo Māori as much as possible, as she launches her political life. The newly sworn-in Te Pati Māori MP presented her maiden speech to Parliament today, followed by a number of waiata in the House.

Speaker Gerry Brownlee said the agreement was that a haka was not to take place. Former speaker Sir Lockwood Smith told Kerre Woodham rules are there for good reason.

Like it or not, next year's big dance in politics will ultimately be decided by the few, not the many. Most MMP elections have been. Minnows hold the keys to the kingdom. Be it Winston with his best result ever or Te Pati Māori with an overhang - 2026 won't be a 2020 landslide. The difference this time is how extreme some of the smaller parties, more to the point, some of their MPs, have become - think Takuta on Indians and Simon Court on Palestine. It's not just rhetoric, but policy, too. A separate Māori parliament, re-nationalising power companies, you name it, they'll go there. The temptation for the behemoths, the broad churches, is to emulate what's getting traction. To dip your toe in the pool of radical ideas. To be establishment without looking or sounding like it. Trump and the MAGA movement are the best example of this. In the UK, parties that have been around since Moses was a linebacker are being absolutely whipped in the polls by newer upstarts with one thing on their pledge cards: radical change. The Conservatives have been around almost 200 years. Reform UK? Six. The big issues differ - our cost-of-living malaise is their immigration. So the temptation must be to embrace a bit of that radical spirit. Labour might yet do that, we just don't know what they're cooking up. My prediction? Establishment parties will do what established parties do. Stick to the script, copy/paste their policies, hug the centre like a koala a tree, and hope their buddies grab enough from the fraying edges to get them across the line. Their bet is that crises come and go but establishments don't, even though the Brits and Americans show us they can and do.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Polls close in the Tāmaki Makaurau by election on Saturday. Front runners - Te Pati Māori's Oriini Kaipara and Labour's Peeni Henare - are using the final hours of the campaign to focus on getting people to the ballot box. Political reporter Lillian Hanly spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

You know a Government is in trouble when you see a major news organisation running an online poll asking people whether they think the Prime Minister has had a good week or not. Which I saw the other week. And you know a coalition is in trouble when you get one of its senior members telling a public meeting that the Prime Minister is hiding. Which is what NZ First's Shane Jones did yesterday. Things come in threes, of course, so let's add the findings of the latest Ipsos Issues Monitor Survey, which has found that voters see Labour being most capable of doing something about the cost of living. And that people have more confidence in Labour, the Greens and Te Pati Māori collectively to do something about 17 of the top 20 issues facing New Zealand, with National owning just three: the economy, crime and defence. But even on those issues it's losing ground. So what conclusion can we take from all that? There's only one. People are losing confidence in the Government. To see how bad it's got for the Government, you just need to think about that stat about the left block being seen as having much more of a handle on the cost of living and the 16 other issues they beat the Government on. Because, hand on heart, are you telling me that - if there was an election right now - and you couldn't bring yourself to vote for National, ACT or NZ First, that you could bring yourself to vote for the likes of Labour? Or the Greens? Or Te Pati Maori? If I had to vote today, I'd have no idea who to vote for. The Ipsos monitor is a quarterly survey that asks New Zealanders what they consider to be the most important issues facing the country, and the political parties they have faith in to sort them. Its latest survey shows the cost of living is still the number one issue concerning voters, with 60 percent of people saying it's an issue. And most people think Labour is the party to deal with it. The second most-concerning thing for people is the hospital and wider health system. Most people think Labour is the party to sort that out too. The third most concerning issue is the economy. National still holds public confidence on that one. Housing supply and the cost of housing is the fourth most concerning issue for voters. And more people have confidence in Labour on that one, too. Rounding-out the top five is crime and law and order. National still beats Labour on that front and the Government will have been very relieved with the latest crime stats which show crime is down. But, whichever way you look at it, people are losing confidence. And it's not just in the data. It's also in the reactions we've seen to recent Government anouncements. The supermarket stuff last week. The debacle with the paywave surcharges and the Government thinking it had a brilliant solution which, we all worked out pretty quickly, won't save us any money. They're just a couple of examples. And I know that some people will say that people are always down on the Government during winter. But I don't think the first day of spring is going to bring any relief for the Government. I'm not surprised the Government is getting such harsh treatment criticism. But I am surprised that so many people think the parties on the left could do a better job on so many of the big issues facing the country. I don't have much faith or confidence in any political party. What about you? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Debbie Ngarewa-Packer is known for unapologetically fighting for the rights of Māori.

Winston Peters says behaviour in Parliament has become degrading. It comes after a recommendation three Te Pati Māori MPs be suspended for their haka in the house, and Minister Brooke van Velden said the c-word. Yesterday he launched a broadside on X against the actions taken in Parliament, saying the House of Representatives has become a House of Chaos. The Deputy Prime Minister told Mike Hosking standards have slipped, and it's the Speaker's job to rein it in. He says the rot started under former Speaker Trevor Mallard, when he loosened dress standards. “As Steven Maharey, the former MP and Minister from Palmerston North said, once you let down dress and other standards, everything else will be let down as well and to be debased – and that's exactly what's happened.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Judith Collins calls for “civility” in Parliament after suspending three MPs and attacks on female MPs. Collins praised Act MP Brooke van Velden for standing up for herself after using the c-word. Te Pāti Māori co-leaders Debbie Ngarewa-Packer and Rawiri Waititi face 21-day suspensions without pay. Parliament Privileges Committee chair Judith Collins is calling for “civility” in the House after the decision to suspend three MPs without pay and attacks on female MPs. Collins said she was proud of Act MP Brooke van Velden for “standing up for herself” yesterday when she stirred major controversy by using the c-word in the House while attacking Labour for not condemning a column that used the word “c***” against female ministers. Yesterday, her committee's decision was handed down to three Te Pāti Māori MPs after last year's controversial haka. The committee recommended 21-day suspensions for co-leaders Debbie Ngarewa-Packer and Rawiri Waititi, saying they should be “severely censured”. Te Pāti Māori co-leaders Rawiri Waititi and Debbie Ngarewa-Packer face a heavy censure. It also recommended a seven-day suspension for MP Hana-Rāwhiti Maipi-Clarke. Collins told Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking this morning the suspension also meant the MPs would go without pay during this time. She confirmed the suspension would be carried out consecutively. Collins said the committee had been “collegial” through the six-month-long process and only butted heads in the end when it came to handing down the penalties. “Even [the Green Party and the Labour Party] are differing from each other. “It's a very severe penalty compared to what has been awarded in the past, it's not only a suspension from the House, it's a suspension of salary. “But then, we haven't seen that level of behaviour before.” She said the committee's decision would be tabled today before it was voted for on Tuesday. She said she expected it to pass. On Brooke van Velden's use of the c-bomb in the House yesterday, Collins said she was proud of the Act MP for standing up for herself and the other women in the House being attacked. “I would say to Brooke, that I wouldn't have used the word myself but I did feel that she did stand up for herself and all the rest of us and I am waiting for someone of the left persuasion… one MP, just one, to come out and say it's not okay to attack someone just because you are not okay with what they do."
