New Green Party MP Benjamin Doyle has taken 鈥渇ull responsibility鈥 after not wearing a seatbelt in the back of a cab on Thursday morning.
They shared video on Instagram this morning, promoting their speech for this afternoon鈥檚 third reading of the Taranaki Maunga Collective Redress Bill.
It鈥檚 clear Doyle is not wearing a seatbelt in the headshot video, which has since been taken down.
Green Party musterer Ricardo Men茅ndez March said it would not happen again.
鈥淏enjamin made a mistake. They take full responsibility for it and will ensure it is not repeated.鈥
It comes a day after the Green Party criticised the coalition Government鈥檚 move to lift speed limits on some stretches of state highway.
The party鈥檚 transport spokeswoman Julie-Anne Genter said the change would kill people and ruin lives.
Men茅ndez March said the party stood by this criticism.
鈥淚t鈥檚 absolutely critical that we address the systemic issues which can make our roads more or less safe for all of us. That鈥檚 why we鈥檝e been clear about the need for safe speed rules.鈥
Doyle entered Parliament in October.
