The New Zealand Parliament has voted to impose record suspensions on three lawmakers who did a Maori haka as a protest. The incident took place last November during a debate on a law on Indigenous rights.
New Zealand’s parliament on Thursday agreed to lengthy suspensions for three lawmakers who disrupted the reading of a controversial bill last year by performing a haka, a traditional Maori dance.
Two parliamentarians — Te Pati Maori co-leaders Debbie Ngarewa-Packer and Rawiri Waititi — were suspended for 21 days and one — Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, from the same party — for seven days.
Before now, the longest suspension of a parliamentarian in New Zealand was three days.
Here come the tone police.
You trolls absolutely know what he’s talking about.
This is why I say over and over again that Lemmy is no different than Reddit. Most people don’t have a fucking thing to say, and it’s all about popping off the mouth, posturing, intentionally missing the point. It’s all about ecoring virtue points to you people, not about staying on topic or examining anything critically.
I have news for you, no one’s going to Pat you on the back or give you money because you say the things that you think are popular on the internet. You just make yourself look like a complete idiot.
Sorry bud, comparing the haka to animal noises is not “tone”, so fuck off with the disingenuous bullshit.
