Te Ao Maori NewsWatch: Haka erupts in Parliament before Treaty Principles Bill passes first reading
During the count of votes for and against the bill, Te Pāti Māori MP Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke stood up from her seat starting a haka directed at Seymour, which her colleagues and MPs from the Greens and Labour joined. When people in the public gallery above joined in loudly, Speaker Gerry Brownlee suspended Parliament for an hour until the gallery was cleared.
Watch and continue reading at Te Ao Maori News:
"New Zealand’s parliament was interrupted on Thursday when Māori MPs performed a haka.
"The ceremonial dance was performed to disrupt a vote on a controversial bill that proposes to change the way in which a 184-year-old treaty between the British Crown and Māori people is interpreted.
" MP Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke ripped up a copy of the bill as she stood to lead the haka in parliament.
Members from her party, Te Pāti Māori, other parties and some in the public gallery joined in."
