Winston Peters says behaviour in Parliament has become degrading. 

It comes after a recommendation three Te Pati Māori MPs be suspended for their haka in the house, and Minister Brooke van Velden said the c-word. 

Yesterday he launched a broadside on X against the actions taken in Parliament, saying the House of Representatives has become a House of Chaos. 

The Deputy Prime Minister told Mike Hosking standards have slipped, and it's the Speaker's job to rein it in. 

He says the rot started under former Speaker Trevor Mallard, when he loosened dress standards. 

“As Steven Maharey, the former MP and Minister from Palmerston North said, once you let down dress and other standards, everything else will be let down as well and to be debased – and that’s exactly what’s happened.”
