Scandal in the PM's office and the chaos of Te Pāti Māori’s suspensions - the latest in NZ politics
Manage episode 487578528 series 2456795
The divided nature of our politics has been spotlighted once again.
A fiery debate has seen Te Pati Maori’s leaders suspended for Parliament in the harshest punishment ever handed down to a politician.
It was a vote made along party lines – with the Government parties voting in favour of the Privileges Committee recommendations, and the left-bloc voting against.
And that split was highlighted once again by two polls with conflicting results showing who will win next year.
Today on The Front Page, we’re joined by Newstalk ZB political editor Jason Walls to discuss the latest in politics – starting with a scandal that has hit the Prime Minister’s office.
