Last week, the Treaty Principles Bill passed it’s first reading in Parliament.

Following this, Te Pāti Māori MP, Hana Rawhiti Maipa-Clarke, initiated a haka in protest, being joined by other members of the party, as well as other MPs from opposition parties such as Labour and the Green Party. On top of this, members of the gallery also performed the haka. This resulted in Speaker, Gerry Brownlee, pausing Parliament for an hour, with Hana Rawhiti Maipa-Clarke, being named by the speaker for ‘disorderly conduct’

For our weekly catchup with the National Party’s Tom Rutherford, News and Editorial Director, Joel, spoke to him about the bill passing its first reading, and the subsequent haka in protest.

They also spoke to him about Prime Minister, Christopher Luxon, indicating the country is still considering joining Pillar two of the AUKUS agreement.
