Maori Party on verge of disciplinary process against MP Friday 6 November 2009 Professor Whatarangi Winiata, Party President
The Maori Party is very concerned that MP Hone Harawira's behaviour in Europe, and a subsequent email that he sent, are serious breaches of the kaupapa and tikanga of the Party.
"Our party sets high standards of integrity for ourselves, based on kaupapa (inherited values) of our tupuna," said Professor Winiata.
"We expect our members, and especially our MPs as leaders and role models, to demonstrate manaakitanga, rangatiratanga, kaitiakitanga and wairuatanga in all that they do.
"We are very disappointed that Hone's behaviour, and his language, fall short of expressing our kaupapa.
"The Party's constitution sets out a process for handling inappropriate behaviour said Professor Winiata.
