Share on Twitter The co-leader of New Zealand’s Māori Party has been kicked out of parliament after performing a haka in protest against “racist propaganda and rhetoric” from the country’s National Party. In recent weeks, the National Party has hit out at Jacinda Ardern’s Labour government in opposition to a “separatist agenda” it is said to be pursuing by looking at ways it can better uphold Indigenous rights, including by potentially establishing a new Māori Health Authority. Tensions came to a head on Wednesday when National Party leader Judith Collins questioned Ms Ardern, prompting Māori Party co-leader Rawiri Waititi to stand up and address House Speaker Trevor Mallard.
