New Zealand Parliament Erupts Over Haka Protest Against ‘Racist’ Bill | 3 Maori MP's SUSPENDED [Video]

New Zealand Parliament Erupts Over Haka Protest Against ‘Racist’ Bill | 3 Maori MP's SUSPENDED

New Zealand’s Parliament suspended three opposition lawmakers, Rawiri Waititi, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, and Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, over their haka performance in protest of a controversial bill. The bill, supported by the conservative government, sparked backlash from the Māori community, with critics claiming it represented an anti-Māori agenda. This protest, the most severe disciplinary action against lawmakers in New Zealand’s history, signals a growing debate over Māori culture’s role in public life and the nation’s push for Indigenous rights. #NewZealand #Māori #Haka #Parliament #IndigenousRights #RawiriWaititi #DebbieNgarewaPacker #HanaRawhitiMaipiClarke #TePātiMāori #MāoriCulture #GovernmentProtest #MāoriProtest #PoliticalDebate #CulturalProtest #ControversialBill #MāoriInParliament #IndigenousVoices #PoliticalSuspension #NewZealandPolitics #ParliamentaryProtest #ConservativeGovernment #IndigenousRightsDebate #PublicLife #MāoriRepresentation #GovernmentAgenda #OppositionProtest #CulturalIdentity #PoliticalDiscipline #TePātiMāoriProtest #MāoriTensions Also Read New Zealand Lawmaker Confronts Deepfake Abuse With Bold AI Demonstration In Parliament :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/new-zealand-mp-stuns-parliament-with-ai-generated-nude-image-to-expose-deepfake-abuse-4172979.html?ref=DMDesc New Zealand Immigration Minister Slammed For Comparing Indian Emails To 'Spams': 'I Never Respond To Them' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/new-zealand-immigration-minister-slammed-for-comparing-indian-emails-to-spams-i-never-respond-to-4164093.html?ref=DMDesc 6.8-Magnitude Earthquake Jolts New Zealand’s Riverton Coast, No Tsunami Alert :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/6-8-magnitude-earthquake-jolts-new-zealand-s-riverton-coast-no-tsunami-alert-4104235.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~GR.125~
