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.

@chris @b9AcE I don’t like to promote Substack, but there’s a NZ sports blogger who breaks this down as a play by play with perfect linkouts for context if needed. She does an incredible (and supportive ) job of making it understandable for thems (like me) with minimal awareness of the political and historical context.
