WTH? New Zealand's Parliament Suspended After Some Cringy Members Go Into Haka Mode
New Zealand’s parliamentary session came to a brief halt on Thursday after people in the public gallery broke into an unsanctioned haka, a traditional Māori dance, moments after the newest Māori Party lawmaker, Oriini Kaipara, delivered her maiden speech.
The spontaneous performance erupted after Kaipara’s address, leading Speaker Gerry Brownlee to suspend proceedings temporarily. The incident, captured on video, quickly went viral on social media, reigniting debate over cultural expression and parliamentary protocol.
