flag New Zealand lawmakers suspended for performing Māori haka near opponents in Parliament.

New Zealand's Parliament suspended three lawmakers for performing a Māori haka protest. Hana-Rāwhiti Maipi-Clarke, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, and Rawiri Waititi were not punished for the dance itself but for approaching their opponents while performing it. Despite a debate on appropriate sanctions, no consensus was reached, and the suspensions were approved due to the government's majority in Parliament.
