Larry Williams Drive

A Te Pati Māori MP has been suspended from Parliament for kicking off a deafening haka in protest of the Treaty Principles Bill.  Opposition MPs and people in the public gallery joined in, interrupting a vote on the legislation and forcing the Speaker to clear the House. Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says today's events were a mess. "I've never seen anything like it in more than 40 years of covering Parliament - the Speaker lost control, by no fault of his own." LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
