Maori MPs Disturb New Zealand Parliament with Haka Protest Against Controversial Bill

On November 14, New Zealand’s parliament was temporarily suspended after Maori members staged a haka protest to oppose a controversial bill. The bill aims to reinterpret the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi, signed between the British Crown and Maori chiefs, which many believe undermines the rights of Indigenous people. The protest, led by Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, involved tearing up the bill and created a powerful moment in Parliament. Despite the uproar, the bill has received its first reading and will be presented to a select committee. This act of defiance sparked heated debate across the country.
