MP Connell to keep head down

Suspended National MP Brian Connell was back in his seat in Parliament yesterday and pledging to keep a "low profile" for the present.

The Rakaia MP was suspended from the party caucus two weeks ago after he confronted leader Don Brash about his alleged affair and made comments to the media.

Mr Connell, who was angered by the suspension, which he labelled unfair, said yesterday: "My plans are to keep a low profile, watch and listen to what's being said."
