Former police negotiator recommends retired district court judge for review into response to Parliament protest

Jacinda Ardern says it's most appropriate that the Police watchdog looks into the response to the Parliament protest. 

Last week, Labour MPs used their majority to block a briefing from the police commissioner to the justice select committee.  

The Government wants to see the IPCA's term of reference, before it makes a judgement.

He recommends using a retired district court judge, because they're used to seeing people from both sides - including police officers and members of the public.
