Naming and Suspension of Member

At the end of the Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill, Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke misused the voting procedure to stage a protest. Other members joined in. The result is that the vote was not declared and the bill has not yet been read a first time. I’ll proceed to that shortly.

Firstly, the matter of misconduct, appalling disrespectful conduct inside the House: premeditated actions to disrupt the House by one of its members is grossly disorderly and I name Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke. Therefore, the question is that Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke be suspended from the service of the House.
