The debate on Te P膩ti M膩ori's proposed punishment has been paused until June - but it's still sparked discussion among some.
Debate was set to begin today on proposed suspensions for the Te P膩ti M膩ori MPs who did a haka during voting on the Treaty Principles Bill - before the Government moved to adjourn it.
Despite this, former co-leader Te Ururoa Flavell has spoken in defence of Te P膩ti M膩ori.
"The bigger kaupapa here is around an ability for M膩ori to express their views in the Parliament of our land - and allow that to happen on the back of what has happened through history in Parliament."
