During question time last week, Mr Rurawhe used a supplementary to suggest a person with name suppression was connected to another political party.
Speaker Adrian Rurawhe said he considered that conduct to be grossly disorderly.
“Therefore, I name Rawiri Waititi, and call on the House to judge his conduct. The question is, that Rawiri Waititi, be suspended from the service of the House. Those of that opinion wil say aye, to the contrary, no. The ayes have it,” he says.
