Graeme Edgeler: Constitutional law expert on Te Pati Māori members being summoned before the privileges committee

The Privileges Committee will meet with or without Te Pati Māori. 

The party's refusing to front up for alleged threatening behaviour towards David Seymour during last year's Haka in the House. 

Co-leaders Debbie Ngarewa-Packer and Rawiri Waititi —along with Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke— have all been separately summoned. 

They say they haven't been allowed to appear together, at a time their lawyer can attend. 

Constitutional Law Expert Graeme Edgeler told Mike Hosking the committee will meet regardless.
