Public supports three week suspension for TPM co-leaders
A Radio NZ Reid Research poll has found support for the Privileges Committee recommendation of a three week suspension for the TPM co-leaders.
The co-leaders forgot to turn up not only to speak in the Budget debate, but even to vote on the Budget. Really will anyone notice they’re not there for three weeks?
Anyway the net support for the suspensions (those saying too lenient or about right less those saying too harsh is:
- All voters +18%
- Nat voters +67%
- Lab voters -13%
- Green voters -59%
- NZ First voters +73%
- ACT voters +90%
A significant minority of Labour voters, 38%, thought the proposed punishments were too lenient or about right. This is in contrast to Chris Hipkins who said they should be for 24 hours instead of 21 days.
