Watch: Haka erupts in Parliament before Treaty Principles Bill passes first reading

Parliament erupted in a stirring rendition of a haka before the Treaty Principles Bill passed its first reading.

The bill, which aims to enshrine the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi into law, was supported by all parties except the ACT party.

Before the vote, Labour MP Willow-Jean Prime moved a motion to have the haka performed in the chamber. The motion was supported by all parties except ACT.

The haka was a powerful and moving moment, and it was clear that it had a deep impact on many of those present.

It was a reminder of the importance of the Treaty of Waitangi, and the need to work together to build a better future for all New Zealanders.

The Treaty Principles Bill is an important step towards achieving this goal, and it is a credit to all those who have worked to bring it to this point.

Now that the bill has passed its first reading, it will go to a select committee for further consideration. The select committee will hear from a wide range of submitters, and it will then make recommendations to Parliament on whether the bill should be passed into law.

The Treaty Principles Bill is a complex and important piece of legislation, and it is important that it is given the full and proper consideration it deserves.

The select committee process will provide an opportunity for all New Zealanders to have their say on the bill, and it is important that everyone who has an interest in the Treaty of Waitangi participates in this process.
