š„Unprecedented & simply magnificent. That time in Nov 2024 when a haka led by Aotearoa’s youngest MP 22yo Hana-Rawhiti Kareariki Maipi-Clarke erupted in the House stopping the Treaty Principles Bill from passing its first reading, triggering the Speaker to suspend Parliament.… pic.twitter.com/pkI7q7WGlr

The New Zealand parliament voted on the Treaty Principles Bill, which would re-interpret the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi between the British crown and the MÄori people. A longer video shows the voice vote, where the ayes were declared to have it, which just seems wrong. MP Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke led the chamber in a protest with the Haka Ka Mate, a chant that spread to the other MPs and to the gallery. The bill passed on the first reading, but is not expected to survive a second reading. This video has gone viral globally, because it affects us so much. (via Metafilter)

Such a powerful protest!
Jeepers. This is a government bill that seeks to clarify, and hopefully redress, the inequality that the NZ Maori, every one of them part European as well, is given in New Zealand society, and you are showcasing this woman ripping it up and performing a warning song of death and cannibalism !
Not only have theNZ Maori been given preferential treatment in health, as in if you are the smallest part Maori, you get to have that needed operation before any non part Maori, but also, you would be allowed to qualify even if you scored less on your exams to be a doctor, dentist or lawyer, than non part Maori people.
Even with social welfare, if you are part Maori there is no second or third questions about your eligibility to receive it.
Plus there are many, many other advantages that are not offered to non part Maori people.
The New Zealand government funded main news outlets push this agenda, which itself is a United Nations 'First People' project, which had been covert only until a non main-stream reported exposed the details.
The same push is happening in Australia, with the rights of the Australian aboriginal people being promoted above anyone that moved there in the last 300 years, no matter what the far greater part of the population wants.
imagine American Indian politicians doing their silly war dances in your government chambers, singing their songs, ripping up proposals !
The New Zealand Maori haka is actually a war dance, which mainly promises that 'once they beat you in the upcoming battle, they will eat you'.
The main stream media, and NZ Rugby, promote the 'haka' as something wonderful and spiritual.
In reality it is the threat of cannibalism, an act still carried out by the NZ Maori people up until around 1850.
These are only recently civilised people.
The NZ Maori, even if blood mixed with the 'invading' Europeans to a point where every one of them has a 'white' grandma or father, etc .... cannot be considered as anything like noble.
Not only are the jails populated by 85% Maori people, but the gangs responsible for the drug trade here, and the robberies and intimidation, are primarily made of of Maori men ... such gangs as The Head Hunters, the Mongrel Mob, and Black Power.
Obviously there are social and economic reasons partly to blame for this ... but the Maori race is infamously renown for it's warring behaviour, it's readiness to fight, rather than use any intelligence.
Seriously, you need to live in New Zealand to see the situation, not read and take as gospel whatever the ... well, I don't like the term 'main stream media' but that's who I mean ... whatever they feed you.
PLEASE stop believing whatever they tell you.
The recent prime minister (think president) told us all that 'hers is the only true truth, do not listen to anyone else' ... seriously, you cannot trust a government that says that.
My words are generalisations, there are people I know who have Maori blood and they are good people.
But the woman you see ripping up a proposed reading of legislature, she was all sweetness and light when she was getting votes, but is behaving like your American Capital Hill rebels.
Your post of this woman's behaviour upsets me a lot.
Please stop promoting these racist New Zealand anarchists.
And also ... New Zealand is NOT called aotearoa, ffs.
They seem nice.
Colonization has consequences.
