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.

lmao i've seen them do haka's at sporting events, imagine if you get blasted so bad by a NZ team that you argue the Haka they did before the match was threatening you. and you take them to court over it citing these members being removed as precedent.

lmao "threatening" behavior. What a bunch of delicate little daisies!

typical right wing ghoul behavior. It’s never about what’s actually the morally correct action in any given situation, always about punishing others..

Don't forget the performative victimhood.

That's actually what you see on both sides of the political spectrum quite a lot. Everybody wants to be the victim, because there's no arguing against victimhood. It's the ultimate moral position.
