This video highlights the three Māori electorates whose MPs have been excluded from parliament… and, while not by design, it lines up exactly with the areas where the NZ government behaved most egregiously in the 19th C, reneging on everything they’d agreed to in Te Tiriti just decades earlier.

I'd follow Chloe into the fire. She's one of VERY few NZ politicians with both a backbone and a moral compass. This expulsion is utterly ridiculous www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
Greens co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick barred from Parliament for rest of week after Gaza speech
The Green Party co-leader described the ruling as "ridiculous" and said she was tired and angry at the massacre of human beings.

So…no suspension. Yet. Because control delayed still feels like control.
Because messing with Māori on Parliament time has become a national sport.

These Ministers aren’t fixing the housing crisis they’re cashing it in.
Selling off state land while our people sleep in cars isn’t policy. It’s a political hit job on vulnerable whānau.
