New Zealand MPs Perform Haka in Parliament to Protest Māori Rights Bill
New Zealand's parliament was temporarily suspended after Maori MPs performed a haka to protest a bill proposing a narrower interpretation of the Treaty of Waitangi, which they argue undermines Indigenous rights. The bill, introduced by the ACT New Zealand party, has sparked significant opposition, including a nine-day protest march. Although it passed its first reading, it is unlikely to become law due to lack of support from coalition partners.
