New Zealand Parliament was dramatically halted after Te Pāti Māori MP Oriini Kaipara delivered her powerful maiden speech and members of the public gallery broke into an unplanned haka. The emotional performance, celebrating Māori resilience and cultural pride, continued despite Speaker Gerry Brownlee’s requests to stop, leading to a temporary suspension of proceedings. The gallery was packed with supporters, including students and community members, who collectively honored Kaipara’s achievement and the legacy of indigenous activism in Aotearoa. The full incident, featuring Kaipara’s speech, spontaneous haka, and Speaker intervention, showcases a milestone for Māori representation and parliamentary history.
