  1. If Whites were to protest your headline would not have the words DISRUPT but freedom of speech..You Whites have taken away land of indigenous people in US,Australia,South America,S Africa New Zealand and many places

  2. I doubt that this protest will be remembered positively in the future, considering that the purpose of the bill is to make everyone equal before the law.

  3. I'm not from new zealand but I wish more people acted like this in general, find the strength to stand up against the system put over us instead of sitting quietly and complaining about it behind closed doors.

  4. People who are making fun of the lady deserve to be laughed at too when they are being wronged

    I guess they will find somone to blame even then
    Some people are just shameless and dont care about somone else culture

  5. Kiaora/hello people of the world and our indigenous Whanau/family. Pronounced Faanoo 😊 It doesn't matter what indigenous group your from, your elders and the ones before them accross different cultures saw the earth as a mother figure. When you regard something as high as a mother, you are now connected to the earth and you will treat the earth like family. Respectful, dutiful, but not a chore because she is our mother and were all on the same page. When we see earth as profit we lose connection and respect to it, and to eachother, we stop caring, we priorities her last with out hesitation, and Today becomes more important than tomorrow.

    This is why we need maori and its culture, and its why we need the Bills, and they need to be able to evolve with time. to encourage change with our relationship to all natural things.

    Mauri ora
    ❤✊🏼
