The Government's Treaty Principles Bill has passed its first reading in Parliament. Proceedings were briefly suspended after Te Pāti Māori MP Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke led a haka and ripped a copy of the bill. During the debate, a Labour MP was also removed from the chamber after calling ACT leader David Seymour a liar.
