New Zealand House Speaker Trevor Mallard has withdrawn trespass notices for five former MPs, prompting the former Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters to call for an “immediate” vote of no confidence.

On May 2, trespass notices were sent to Peters, former Nationals MP Matt King, and others who attended the anti-mandate protests in Wellington, banning them from parliament grounds for two years.
