" #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 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."
