New Zealand suspends three Maori MPs for 'intimidating' haka protest in Parliament. Here’s why

IndiaTimes Friday, 16 May 2025
Three Maori MPs face suspension from New Zealand's Parliament after performing a haka to protest the Treaty Principles Bill. The parliamentary privileges committee recommended suspensions for Rawiri Waititi, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, and Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, deeming their actions disruptive and potentially intimidating. This decision has sparked outrage from Te Pati Maori, who view it as a disproportionate punishment for resisting colonial power.
