Blood-curdling moment New Zealand MP breaks out haka war dance and gets parliament suspended
The Daily Mail ^ | 11 Oct 2025 | CIARAN FOREMAN

New Zealand's parliament was brought to a blood-curdling halt after one of its newly elected MPs burst into the traditional Maori haka dance - causing the session to be suspended.

Oriini Kaipara, 42, of the left-wing Te Pati Maori party, had just finished delivering her maiden speech to the House of Representatives when the chamber erupted into a war-like scene of screaming and stamping on Thursday.

The former newsreader-turned-politician was elected to parliament in September to fill a vacant seat, and members of the House burst into song to celebrate her arrival before she herself joined in.

Speaker of the House, Gerry Brownlee, asked MPs to stop after they burst into the haka because politicians in New Zealand must be granted permission if they - or their supporters - wish to sing or perform the dance in the public gallery.

The footage shows Ms Kaipara, who is 100 per cent Maori and adorns a Tā moko facial tattoo beneath her lips, facing down Mr Brownlee with her eyes bulging as the chamber breaks into the thumping movement.

Mr Brownlee can be heard pleading 'No! Not that', as he gesticulates to the gallery adding: 'The guarantee was that would not be taking place'.

As the haka grows louder in the chamber, the Speaker suspends the House before quickly exiting from his seat - with some other MPs seemingly following.

While the parliament later resumed proceedings, Mr Brownlee said he would be launching a probe into whether any party or MPs had prior knowledge of the haka as he described the gallery's actions as contemptuous.

Haka is racist anti-globalism and should be banned. Make NZ WEF safe.

The Majority party better get ahead of this or they will have a Muslim sized problem on their hand.

These people are essentially dancing a big F you.

Like ass up Muslims blocking roads.

It needs to be stopped and PDQ

Recall that the horse faced commie Jacinda confiscated guns in NZ? Now the Maori can slaughter the disarmed white colonialists.

“Interesting that all over the world people are restoring to tribalism.”

All, except for the white tribe.

We seem to just knuckle under.

That was sort of the point Tucker Carlson was making the other day. We are no longer descended from the original settlers (and slaves). What is an American, anyway?
