Chlöe Swarbrick explains why she won’t apologise for suggesting MPs are spineless | Stuff.co.nz

Christopher Luxon says Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has quote lost the plot. It's a significant toughening of language, and it came in response to ongoing debate around labelling the war in Gaza as genocide. The conflict has dominated proceedings in Parliament this week, with Green co-leader Chloe Swarbrick suspended for using the word 'spineless' to describe government MPs who didn't back her sanctions bill. Her suspension prompted Te Pati Māori co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer to drop the c-bomb - the second time it's been used in the debating chamber this year.
