Hahahaha, Willie Jackson calling David Seymour a disgrace to the house, and a liar regarding Te Tiriti of Waitangi with his final words. Brownlee asking him to withdraw. Jackson says no. Brownlee asking him to leave.

Impressed with Webb here, managing to say The Thing - that the Bill itself was a lie, that it didn't do what its supporters said it would do, that their understanding of democracy was shallow and didn't recognise indigenous, human or minority rights. An argument about a hundred years out of date

If the Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill had taken off with the NZ public Chris Luxon and National would have supported it.
They have made no effort to talk it down as the divisive legislation it is.
Confirms 3 parties are 1 on this matter.

Having read Careless People, I'm surprised it hasn't been talked about more. It's damning on multiple levels. (Also: Republican reps professing to be outraged about China using state power to suppress dissent is pretty fucking rich.)
NZ author of Careless People - “the greatest trick Mark Zuckerberg ever pulled was wrapping the American flag around himself and saying he didn’t offer services in China, while he spent the last decade building an $18 billion business there”
Meta silenced a whistleblower. Now she’s talking to Congress.
Ex-Meta executive Sarah Wynn-Williams slams Mark Zuckerberg on Capitol Hill, saying he kowtowed to Beijing 10 years ago and seeks to suppress her memoir now.
