ACT - vindictive streak? - Lilith7 - 21-05-2025
Thiose Delightful People in parliament are at it again.
ACT asked for information on the range of punishments for the Treaty Principles Haka in parliament last year - including imprisonment. Which says everything about that particular party.
It seems that despite their claims to the contrary, if it involves The Maori Party then ACT isn't all that keen on peaceful protest...

what would happen to anyone disrupting a ceremony on a marae
of course that would never happen because that would be racist
RE: ACT - vindictive streak? - Oh_hunnihunni - 21-05-2025
A marae is culturally specific.
Parliament is not. It is the government heart of a multicultural society and should bloody well get with the programme, and stop holding on to the unimportant residues of a colonial past.
As for the punishment, considering the MPs of the past who have acted out within and without its walls and gone unsanctioned, I smell racist bullshit.

IMO, they did nothing to warrant any punishment at all; the last time I was that proud of being a kiwi was when the ships left for Mururoa to protest the French nuclear tests.
This is plain old vindictiveness,with a large dash of racism.
And when we look at previous punishments in parliament, it becomes even more obvious.
Three days is the longest suspension so far, so the ludicruous suggestion of 21 days would be seven times longer than any previous suspension given.

Didn't we have a rule somewhere about trolling ?
both these posts are the very definition of trolling - but this feels like progress...
well done, keep up the good work.

Where are the rules king1? I've put "rules" into search and looked around but I can't find them.

Search for Please Read! gets it. Rules alone probably gets you every thread where there's been a rule violation
