Postponement of the Privileges Committee recommendations in Parliament gives National a chance to take the moral high ground.
The debate of the suspension recommendations for those who did a haka during the Treaty Principles Bill's vote last year was adjoined after 20 minutes.
The Leader of the House Chris Bishop moved the vote until June 5th, to leave this week free for the Budget.
Political commentator Brigitte Morten told Ryan Bridge National clearly showed they know how to use the rules of Parliament.
She says they've therefore been able to take the high ground and let the Te Pati Māori MPs be there for the Budget.
