‘No, Not That!’ Haka Breaks out in New Zealand Parliament Before Session is Suspended

New Zealand’s Parliament descended into chaos on Thursday when an unsanctioned haka erupted in the public gallery, and some members of parliament joined in. The unplanned haka, which is a traditional Maori dance, followed the maiden speech from Te Pati Maori’s new member, Oriini Kaipara, who stood barefoot, and sang a traditional song that had been sanctioned. “No, not that! The guarantee was that would not be taking place,” Speaker Gerry Brownlee lamented, before halting the session. #Haka #NewZealand #parliament The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more.
