New Zealand delays vote to suspend Māori Party MPs | ABC NEWS
The New Zealand government has postponed a vote to suspend three indigenous MPs who performed a haka in Parliament.
Māori Party members performed a haka to protest a bill to reinterpret the Treaty of Waitangi, which was rejected last month but sparked widespread protests.
Last week, a parliamentary committee recommended temporarily suspending the ministers for up to three weeks due to the haka protest. The Leader of the House cited the upcoming federal budget as the reason for deferring the vote.
