A senior legal professional wants Parliament to intervene in what he considers the politicisation of the judiciary. 

It comes amid controversy over compulsory Tikanga Māori courses for law students. 

Gary Judd KC has complained to the Government Regulation Review Select Committee. 

He told Mike Hosking Tikanga shouldn't be infused in legal process, and he wants Parliament to take a stand. 

He says if the committee agrees, it would send a signal that the current rules are unacceptable.
