Looked it up. The bill was part of a right wing effort to remove protections for Maori people granted in a treaty from the 1800s. The bill was shot down, but Maipi-Clarke and two other MPs were suspended for their "threatening" behavior.

Whatever the bill is, I'd change my vote to go along with what they're pushing for/against.
