Lol.

Actually, I don’t think one of the Maori party MPs throwing hands is particularly far fetched.

You seem very uninformed about the history of the Haka.

There are many different ones, but the most common one, Ka Mate, is usually performed by sports teams before a game, and is meant to be intimidating.

They were historically performed by a tribe’s mightiest warriors when other chiefs came to visit, as one example. They’re often a war dance, a show of power.

The audience is supposed to be intimidated

You seem to have a very simplistic view of the world, and don’t seem to be willing to take other points of view on board, so I don’t see much point engaging with you any further.

You’ll have to ask David Seymour that question.

The Maori party favour theatrics over results, and always have. One of the most notable examples, there was a motion in the house to change the dress code, which the speaker asked if anyone wanted to second. Nobody did.

The next day, one of their MPs was ejected from the house for not wearing a tie.

The bill was never going to pass, the other two parties in the coalition had made it very clear they would support the bill to its first reading and no further, and only agreed to support it that far because they couldn’t have formed a government otherwise.

This didn’t really change anything.

They did this right before Parliament was set to vote, and managed to disrupt and delay said vote.

So yes, it was pretty bad.
