I think they’ve got the proper look and attitude.
The floor-shaking performance involved the legislators bulging their eyes (”pukana”), sticking out their tongues (”whetero”), and stomping their feet (”Waewae takahia”) in unison.
So what’s the Cliff Notes version of the story?
What’s the issue with the Treaty and what the government is trying to do to or with it?
they are a liberal country so I don’t care what happens in there government.

If you dubbed in some Al Jolson movie it would look like a minstrel show.
Māori are NOT indigenous. They only arrived around 700 years ago, and genocided and cannibalized the actual indigenous people, and performed this sick, Satanic ritual before eating them. It should be banned as a hate crime.
A display of the savage. Haka is fun for a rugby match, but in a deliberative legislative body, it’s childish.
They merely demonstrated why white people are in charge over there. They cannot express an idea, so they do a scary Gilligan’s Island dance.
That culture never created anything memorable beyond the war club.
They should all be expelled.
RE: So what’s the Cliff Notes version of the story?
The protests by Māori members of New Zealand’s parliament relate to concerns over the reinterpretation of the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi.
The Treaty of Waitangi is a foundational document that outlines the relationship between the British Crown and the Indigenous Māori people of New Zealand.
Māori MPs are concerned that the proposed bill would undermine the original intent and protections established in the treaty for Māori rights and sovereignty. The haka, a traditional Māori dance and chant, was used as a form of protest and to assert Māori identity and resistance to the proposed changes.
The Māori members acted to disrupt the parliamentary proceedings in order to draw attention to their opposition to the bill and defend the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi. This reflects the ongoing tensions and debates around how to properly interpret and uphold the treaty’s provisions, which are seen as crucial for protecting Māori interests and self-determination.
The Treaty of Waitangi was a treaty signed in 1840 between the British Crown and Māori chiefs in New Zealand. It is considered the founding document of New Zealand as a nation.
The key points of the treaty are:
* It established British sovereignty over New Zealand, while also recognizing Māori ownership of their lands and resources.
* It guaranteed Māori tribes full exclusive and undisturbed possession of their lands, forests, fisheries and other properties.
* It gave Māori the same rights as British subjects.
The treaty has been the subject of ongoing debate and controversy as Māori have argued that the English and Māori versions of the treaty differ significantly in their meaning and intent. This has led to disputes over the interpretation and application of the treaty’s principles.
The bug eyed thing is funny though.
Recalling El Rushbo’s observation that, “Politics is show biz for the ugly.”
Is Elizabeth Warren now a Maori?
That Māori gal who started the haka has a future in show business.
Maori War dances are popular before Rugby matches.
Psychotic estrogen filled women in positions of power. THATS the problem. NZ and Australia...easy picking for the Chicoms
And that is where that cannibal dance should remain. There is nothing redeeming about that pagan culture. Except to remind the world why civilization needed to spread, and where the term “white man’s burden” came from.
**Maori War dances are popular before Rugby matches.**
Happens in the NFL too.
Happy to see they’re having a good time. As I honkey I’d join them. I’m sure the guy with the long tonge aroused a lot of women.
The British should should come back and make them all subjects again. Make Subjects Great Again.
If I read it correctly Seymour the Author also a Maori wanted to include ALL New Zealanders to the same rights which look to be pretty basic and similar to Our rights for all people
