After the shocking resignation of Jacinda Ardern on Thursday which not only took New Zealand but the entire world by storm, a new prime minister for New Zealand has been chosen by the Labour party.
Chris Hipkins, the minister for education and policing, and one of the primary architects of the Covid response, was nominated uncontested by the party caucus on Saturday morning.
New Zealandās 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 MÄori community, with critics claiming it represented an anti-MÄori agenda. This protest, the most severe disciplinary action against lawmakers in New Zealandās history, signals a growing debate over MÄori cultureās role in public life and the nationās push for Indigenous rights.
