Harawira: I'd like to kill Mallard

Taunts from Labour's Trevor Mallard that Hone Harawira was betraying his people by supporting tax cuts have brought a blunt response from the Maori Party MP - "I'd like to kill him".

Parliament has been sitting to pass laws including those bringing in National's tax cuts which the Maori Party supports. Labour has attacked the bill, and Mr Harawira made it clear he did not enjoy Mr Mallard's roasting.

"I'd like to kill him, but quite frankly he has a point to raise and I agreed with a lot of the points he made."
