Parliament’s Privileges Committee has ruled that Te Pāti Māori MP Tākuta Ferris deliberately misled the House after denying he called other MPs “liars” during a general debate in September.
Despite his claims that he was discussing “obfuscation” rather than directly accusing members of lying, the committee found his statements contradictory and confusing.
Ferris declined to appear in person to clarify his remarks, leading the committee to conclude that his words implied MPs were liars, amounting to contempt of Parliament.
As a result, he has been ordered to apologise, though he was absent from the House when the ruling was announced.
Te Pāti Māori has accepted the decision, while New Zealand First leader Winston Peters, who initially raised the concern, called the ruling “justified.”
Why do we continue to fund this treasonous crime syndicate masquerading as a democratic government.
Because if at any time you attempt to stop funding them voluntarily, they will literally send jackbooted men armed with automatic weapons to come and lock you up in a steel cage for many years while their courts just go ahead and TAKE the money from you anyway.

Because they are black – ish.
You mean he lied….
