Te Pati Maori is telling supporters the debate postponement should only motivate them more

Parliament adjourned yesterday's debate on the Privileges Committee's suspension recommendations for Te Pati Maori MPs who did a haka during the Treaty Principles Bill's vote.

Leader of the House Chris Bishop doesn't want distractions during Budget week.

Te Pati Maori Co-leader Rawiri Waititi told protestors yesterday the Government's afraid - while it is not.

He says they are in a psychological war - with their opponents waiting for them to get tired.
