Peter Dunne: Former MP on pettiness in Parliament - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

The Mike Hosking Breakfast

There has been a lot of pettiness in politics in recent weeks – with some suggesting it is a sign of a government under pressure.
Just recently we have had the situation with Mark Mitchell and Poto Williams which culminated in Mitchell not being allowed to sit at Williams’ table at Copperfield’s, the Parliament cafeteria that's considered neutral ground.
Then yesterday it was revealed Gerry Brownlee asked a question of Michael Wood, who wrote his reply entirely in te reo Māori without a translation.
When Brownlee asked for a translation, Wood declined and Mallard said there were enough te reo Māori speakers that he could get it translated elsewhere.
Former MP Peter Dunne joined Mike Hosking to discuss.
