The haka could have "initimidated" other lawmakers, the committee ruled, recommending that she be suspended for a week and Te Pāti Māori (Māori Party) co-leaders Rawiri Waititi and Debbie Ngarewa-Packer be banned for 21 days. The Māori Party criticised the recommendations as a "warning shot to all of us to fall in line". It also said these are among the harshest punishments ever recommended by New Zealand's parliament.
