Parliament's picking up where it left off last month, debating proposed sanctions on three Te Pāti Māori MPs.  

The Privileges Committee's suggested Rawiri Waititi and Debbie Ngarewa-Packer be suspended for 21 days, and Hana-Rāwhiti Maipi-Clarke for seven. 

The three had performed a haka during a vote on the Treaty Principles Bill last year.  

Leader of the House Chris Bishop told Mike Hosking he just wants the debate over and done with.  

He says we need to deal with the issue, but it's a distraction from the need for economic growth, and he hopes it's dealt with swiftly at Parliament this afternoon.
