Rawiri Waititi had accused the opposition of racism and was asked to sit down by the speaker, but instead performed the ceremonial dance
Waititi was ejected from the House by speaker Trevor Mallard, after making a series of points of order. “Over the past two weeks there has been racist propaganda and rhetoric towards tangata whenua [indigenous people]. That not only is insulting to tangata whenua, but diminishes the mana [dignity] of this House,” Waititi said.
