    The thing he probably didn't know was until he is sworn in he gets no money, for him or his party.

    I, Hone Pani Tamati Waka Nene Harawira, swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Te Tiriti o Waitangi, that I will be honest and forthright in my efforts to advance the rights of the people of Tai Tokerau, that I will do my utmost to help all Maori people become full empowered citizens of this land and that I will do whatever I can to reduce inequalities in this country, so that all may one day be proud to call Aotearoa home.
    better and more reflective of modern New Zealand than this?
    I, Hone Pani Tamati Waka Nene Harawira swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Her heirs and successors, according to law. So help me God.
    That's the point Hone Harawira was trying to make today.
    He was silenced, by an abuse of the Parliamentary process, by an old white man who disagrees. That man, Lockwood Smith, is stifling dissent, strangling our future and trying to suppress any debate over who we are and what it means to be a kiwi in modern New Zealand. And that is undemocratic and not befitting his role as Speaker of the House.

If you review the footage of MPs being sworn in after the last three elections you'll see a fair number of MPs doing this. Contrary to the Speaker's assertion, that is not "breaking the law". The affirmation is given. And what matters is that it is given, not what is said beforehand.
    do you mean he has been singled out because of who he is? because he didn't want to do it the way some smug looking fucktarded white mother fucker (they're all white mother fuckers) was expecting it to happen? Or does I read your "others" quote wrongly moy flower?
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    Just like Steve O'Regan.

    BTW, he doesn't like it if you call him by his birth name...

    What fucks me off are people who use racism to attack racism. In doing so they often end up making themselves look just as bad as the person they're seeking to ridicule.

    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Yes it is. But today and at Parliament was not the appropriate time or place to have that discussion. It was grandstanding, pure and simple, and it backfired hugely on him.
