Parliament has strict rules around decorum

Bullshit. If there are any rules they are not applied fairly or uniformly.

And the punishment is harsh, but there’s never been a group of people before with such disdain for the establishment they represent their constituents within.

You are a lying sack of shit. There have been tremendous amount of distain for the parliament by other people and parties. Learn some fucking history you zealot.

I know this is the internet, but when will you two communicate constructively? (My point is each of you tend to be unhelpfully inflammatory. Trollish, even...).

Perhaps if you brought some examples it might help your argument?

That's all I'll say.

This person is saying that the haka was the most disruptive thing to happen in parliament in the entire history of his nation.

Here is the quote.

but there’s never been a group of people before with such disdain for the establishment they represent their constituents within.

You know this is a lie, I know this is a lie, and he knows this is a lie.

Why should somebody be able to lie so blatantly without being called out? Especially since the lie is motivated by racism.

I'm just trying to get either of you to provide details or examples so you can have a constructive discussion as opposed to a vitriol-fest.

And you've done that, thanks!

If you want to see what not confronting this kind of racism and right wing zealotry leads to just look at the USA. They are literally sending soldiers to shoot protesters all in the name of maintaining decorum.
