Show Notes

National MP Tim Van der Molen has been censured following allegations of violence.

The Privileges Committee has found he engaged in threatening and physically intimidating behaviour against Labour MP Shanan Halbert in a stand-off at the Transport Select Committee.

National leader Chris Luxon has stripped him of his portfolios.

ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says he's seen worse behaviour from MPs over the years, which shows standards have changed.
