I LOVE this so much. Maori MPs in the New Zealand parliament protest attempts by the centre-right government and far-right "ACT" coalition partners to pass legislation that water down treaty rights of Maori.

New Zealand is one of the only places (the only?) in the British Empire where the Crown signed a treaty with all Indigenous peoples at the time of contact. It has shaped NZ Law and Society ever since!

Thank you to @b9AcE for the video.

The passion in tearing up of the bill is just epic. @b9AcE

instant legend. people taped this from several angles. spent well into 5am watching all the versions and angles. this was epic and so on point given the legislative topic.

@blogdiva @b9AcE we're not allowed to bring recording devices into the House of Commons of Canada, Senate or any of the Provincial Legislatures here. It never made sense to me. THIS is why it SHOULD be allowed!

i boosted them all. go back on my TL. it feels more and more epic as you see it from different angles and see all the people who joined in. literally, almost the whole floor and people up in the balconies.

@blogdiva @b9AcE @Paulatics the 'official' one which mostly only shows the speaker looking annoyed... but the audio of the protests continues after it fades to black is kind of perfect.
