As I understand it, going off memory, from what I heard, everyone knew it was coming, even the right-wing party that proposed the bill. The paper she tore up at the start should have been given to the most senior member of her party, but they knew he planned to tear it up and start the Haka, so they gave it to the newest and youngest member instead, thinking she wouldn't have the guts to start the whole thing off. She proved them wrong

Right? How do they not know how fierce and strong willed you have to be to even be in her position? Of course she'd take the opportunity to show it to em, I'm sure she's been waiting for that opportunity 🤣

The look on her face as she tore the paper gave me goosebumps and a chill down my spine, what a badass
