A new test for Parliament's processes. 

Te Pāti Māori MPs are refusing to appear before a Privileges Committee hearing about last year's haka in the House, after being told they can't appear together with their lawyer. 

Labour MP Peeni Henare appeared before the committee last month, with the committee finding his conduct was disorderly but didn't amount to contempt. 

He apologised for leaving his seat to perform a haka, but stands by performing it, saying he'd do it again 

Fellow Labour MP Ginny Andersen told Mike Hosking it will be interesting to see how this plays out. 

She says Labour believes in taking part in the Privileges Committee process, but this is an issue for Te Pāti Māori and Parliament to navigate.
