New Zealand set to suspend Maori lawmakers over protest haka ...Middle East

News by : (Daily Sun) -

Maori Party MP Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, 22, derailed parliament in November when she ripped a copy of the proposed laws in half while performing a spirited traditional chant.

A parliamentary committee on Wednesday evening recommended suspending Waititi and Ngarewa-Packer for three weeks, and Maipi-Clarke for seven days.

“When tangata whenua resist, colonial powers reach for the maximum penalty,“ the party said in a statement, using a phrase for Maori people.

Deputy prime minister Winston Peters described the trio as “out-of-control MPs who flout the rules and intimidate others with outrageous hakas”.

The “Treaty Principles Bill” sought to reinterpret New Zealand's founding document, signed between Maori chiefs and British representatives in 1840.

Parliament resoundingly voted down the bill last month.
