Te Pāti Māori MP Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke has been recognised by Time magazine as one of "the world's most influential rising stars". ⭐️
Maipi-Clarke was aged just 21 when elected to Parliament in 2023.
Time said she "shook the world" when she performed a haka during a vote on the Treaty Principles Bill last year
Hi Ulan, the post is simply a link to the newspaper page displaying the cartoon published by the NZ Herald newspaper.
If you’re interested in the subject of the #NZPol government threatening the founding document of #Aotearoa #NewZealand #TeTiritiOWaitangi which is a treaty signed by a majority of #Māori rangatira (chiefs) and the British Crown to grant the right of British people to settle in NZ. Some other hashtags you could use to find out more are #TreatyPrinciplesBill #DavidSeymour #AtlasNetwork #Act #ToitūTeTiriti #TePātiMāori #TreatyOfWaitangi #Haka
This #MATA investigation into #Act and #DavidSeymour by journalist Mihingarangi Forbes just dropped.
I am only 3 minutes in but it looks like it's got a bit to reveal. #AtlasNetwork #NZInitiative #TaxPayersUnion #NZPol #CDNpoli #IndigenousRights #TiritiOWaitangi #TreatyPrinciplesBill
Excusing the use of AI this short summary of #TeTiritiOWaitangi and its relevance to the recent #Haka performed in parliament by Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, Rawiri Waititi and other MPs.in protest to the dishonorable colonial supremacist #TreatyPrinciplesBill being introduced into #Aotearoa #NewZealand parliament as a government bill, is a very good way of explaining the history of #Māori, tangata whenua (people of the land) and tangata tiriti (people of the treaty) and the failure of this #NZPol government to honour the treaty. #ToituTeTiriti
Once more, #Luxon is simply bad at his job.
A magnanimous rejection of the privledges committee reccomendation would show leadership, reinforce his supposed rejection of the #treatyPrinciplesBill to pull away from #ACT & possibly deflate some #TePātiMāori's support.
Instead, he sticks with his gormless position of "the rules are the rules" just as he did with his housing entitlement. #nzpol #NactionalFirst
"#NewZealand MPs who performed #haka in parliament given unprecedented punishment
#TePātiMāori co-leaders and youngest member to be temporarily suspended from #parliament after performance protesting controversial bill"
The bill in question (the #TreatyPrinciplesBill) wanted to reinterpret the #TreatyOfWaitangi (1840), which upholds #Māori rights
The bill was defeated
I think the proper response to a bullshit punishment for protecting #MāoriRights is a lot more hakas

"The people who gets angry about the Treaty Principles Bill, other than the people who are directly, *directly* affected, are people like Matthew Hooten, the neolibs. Who don't want there to be a conversation about renegotiation of constitutional norms. Because those norms were serving them quite well, thank you very much."
“Prime Minister Luxon erred grievously in agreeing to support the Treaty principles bill to first reading. But the people he governs have ended the charade. Our nation has rejected this bill emphatically. Now we must turn to trying to heal some of the many deep wounds it has caused” -Vincent O’Malley

[10:13] New Zealand rejects push to redefine founding treaty
Politicians in New Zealand have voted overwhelmingly to reject the contentious "Treaty Principles Bill", which sought to redefine the principles of the country's founding document that was signed between Maori chiefs and British representatives in 1840.

“The Treaty bill is not just about legal wording — it’s about economic power. If Te Tiriti is successfully reframed as symbolic rather than contractual, the Crown will have removed one of the last barriers standing in the way of total economic control.” #NZ #Aotearoa #Indigedon #TreatyPrinciplesBill #Indigenous #Māori #ToitūTeTiriti #TeTiriti

"It's not actually normal to invade countries and say they don't exist. *Unless* you're a colonizing power."
#TimothySnyder, 2022

Even less normal to sign treaties with countries and say they don't exist. You hear that Rimmer?
Snyder goes on;
"So Europeans constantly invaded countries and said they didn't exist, that's the history of the Americas and Africa, right?"
.. as well as Australia, Aotearoa, and most of the Pacific.

📝 Aotearoa Treaty Principles Bill Submissions
Now, I generally try to keep "politics" out of the recaps because this is meant to be a positive space for the fans - but I do know that A LOT of our cast and crew are affected by this bill personally so I do want to throw this in there.
It looks like you don't actually have to be a resident of Aotearoa to submit your feelings on the bill.
Here is helpful linktree with things you can say and how to submit that I tracked down via a post Rachel House reposted: https://linktr.ee/nzhumanrights

"Why should I care? [The Regulatory Standards Bill] is the twin to the Treaty Principles Bill. So much so that you can use your submission for that bill as the template to this one. It has been described as: The ‘dangerous’ bill flying under the radar and 'arguably one of the most regressive and dangerous Bills ever considered'."
https://emilywrites.substack.com/p/ok-fine-what-submissions-do-i-have
Consultation closes this Monday, 13 January 2025.
"The good news is that the Justice Committee has done the right thing, and extended the [Treaty Principles Bill] submission deadline for another five days. So, if you haven't already, Submit!. History is watching, and like the Tour, people in twenty or forty years time will want to know which side you were on. Are you going to do your part, or stay silent in the face of white supremacy?"
