Moment MP leads haka to disrupt New Zealand parliament

Māori MP Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke led the haka and ripped up a copy of a contentious bill being voted on.

Te Pāti Māori MP Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke has been recognised by Time magazine as one of "the world's most influential rising stars". ⭐️

Maipi-Clarke was aged just 21 when elected to Parliament in 2023.

Time said she "shook the world" when she performed a haka during a vote on the Treaty Principles Bill last year

Hi Ulan, the post is simply a link to the newspaper page displaying the cartoon published by the NZ Herald newspaper.
If you’re interested in the subject of the #NZPol government threatening the founding document of #Aotearoa #NewZealand #TeTiritiOWaitangi which is a treaty signed by a majority of #Māori rangatira (chiefs) and the British Crown to grant the right of British people to settle in NZ. Some other hashtags you could use to find out more are #TreatyPrinciplesBill #DavidSeymour #AtlasNetwork #Act #ToitūTeTiriti #TePātiMāori #TreatyOfWaitangi #Haka

This #MATA investigation into #Act and #DavidSeymour by journalist Mihingarangi Forbes just dropped.

I am only 3 minutes in but it looks like it's got a bit to reveal. #AtlasNetwork #NZInitiative #TaxPayersUnion #NZPol #CDNpoli #IndigenousRights #TiritiOWaitangi #TreatyPrinciplesBill

Excusing the use of AI this short summary of #TeTiritiOWaitangi and its relevance to the recent #Haka performed in parliament by Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, Rawiri Waititi and other MPs.in protest to the dishonorable colonial supremacist #TreatyPrinciplesBill being introduced into #Aotearoa #NewZealand parliament as a government bill, is a very good way of explaining the history of #Māori, tangata whenua (people of the land) and tangata tiriti (people of the treaty) and the failure of this #NZPol government to honour the treaty. #ToituTeTiriti

Once more, #Luxon is simply bad at his job.
A magnanimous rejection of the privledges committee reccomendation would show leadership, reinforce his supposed rejection of the #treatyPrinciplesBill to pull away from #ACT & possibly deflate some #TePātiMāori's support.
Instead, he sticks with his gormless position of "the rules are the rules" just as he did with his housing entitlement. #nzpol #NactionalFirst

"#NewZealand MPs who performed #haka in parliament given unprecedented punishment

#TePātiMāori co-leaders and youngest member to be temporarily suspended from #parliament after performance protesting controversial bill"

The bill in question (the #TreatyPrinciplesBill) wanted to reinterpret the #TreatyOfWaitangi (1840), which upholds #Māori rights

The bill was defeated

I think the proper response to a bullshit punishment for protecting #MāoriRights is a lot more hakas

The Guardian

"The people who gets angry about the Treaty Principles Bill, other than the people who are directly, *directly* affected, are people like Matthew Hooten, the neolibs. Who don't want there to be a conversation about renegotiation of constitutional norms. Because those norms were serving them quite well, thank you very much."

We discuss the failed Treaty Principles Bill and potential for a geopolitical restructuring in the political economy instigated by Trump's tariffs. Where to from here? How can we make the most of the moment?

“Prime Minister Luxon erred grievously in agreeing to support the Treaty principles bill to first reading. But the people he governs have ended the charade. Our nation has rejected this bill emphatically. Now we must turn to trying to heal some of the many deep wounds it has caused” -Vincent O’Malley
