In a remarkable display of cultural protest, Māori lawmakers in New Zealand interrupted parliamentary proceedings with traditional haka performances, opposing the controversial Treaty Principles Bill. The MPs disrupted debates and voting, leading to the suspension of parliament as tensions flared over the proposed bill, which has been criticized for rolling back Māori rights. Thousands of demonstrators rallied in the capital, expressing their dissent, while some lawmakers publicly tore up copies of the bill during sessions. The heated exchanges and demonstrations underscore the ongoing struggles regarding race relations and the rights of Indigenous peoples in New Zealand.
