A sense the fall-out isn't over, after Te Pāti Māori's National Council has ejected two MPs from the party.
Tākuta Ferris and Mariameno Kapa-Kingi are calling it unconstitutional, and will sit as independents in Parliament for now.
It's after weeks of party in-fighting playing out in public.
The party's co-leaders say they haven't considered invoking the waka-jumping law, but didn't rule it out.
Former co-leader Te Ururoa Flavell says that seems to be the leadership's intention.
"I still think there's a little bit of water to go under the bridge as yet - I understand there may well be some sort of legal challenges to process."
