The Speaker of the House has offered an olive branch to Māori Party co-leader Rawiri Waititi over his refusal to wear a tie in the debating chamber. Trevor Mallard's office has confirmed he has encouraged the Party to submit to the Standing Orders Committee asking that hei-tiki be allowed instead of a tie. Waititi speaks to Corin Dann.
