      I would venture to guess that the disciplinary action generated more attention than the haka itself. So a good thing in the end.

      Sounds like it worked, and now the conservatives are mad and trying to punish?

        Pretty much. That and trying to distract people from the details of their budget, which will without doubt be all the usual crap you’d expect from conservatives.

        The bill was never going to pass, the other two parties in the coalition had made it very clear they would support the bill to its first reading and no further, and only agreed to support it that far because they couldn’t have formed a government otherwise.

        This didn’t really change anything.

          So if it was never going to pass, what was the point of introducing it? Just a provocation?
