Maori New Zealand lawmaker Rawiri Waititi performs haka after being ordered to exit the parliament chamber in Wellington. The Maori party co-leader was complaining about racism from the opposition's rhetoric regarding plans to set up a new Maori Health Authority to address health issues among the Indigenous people. Waititi was asked by the speaker to take his seat after his comments but instead he stepped out of his seat and performed haka, a ceremonial Maori dance to show resilience at challenging times.
