Just wee update, the tie/business attire rule has been scrapped. As of yesterday the 10th of Feb members may wear what they like. 👏
Glad to hear. That tie thing was unbelievably childish
they were able to wear what they like before that rule too....but they had to wear a tie as well.
Good! This whole thing was ridiculously racist and petty.
Why? Because of global outrage? Do you REALLY think that'd happen if there was no video record spread on the internet? Shame on the NZ Parliament!
Did this guy get an apology as well??
World: burning
Government: should we wear ties?
African children: starving
You: Let’s waste time watching RUclips videos
@@maple2524 notice I said world and you focus on one region. That's the problem but good job also watching youtube my guy
@@maple2524 yes because there is no difference between a member of the government and a random guy, nice logic.
@@rashidaltaleb8399 You’re stupid.
1. Neither of the men in the video work for the government. The white man is the speaker of parliament, whilst the Maori is a member of an opposition party, which means his goal is either to control or undermine the government (depending on your own political philosophy).
2. Representatives shouldn’t be regarded as “greater” than ordinary civilians just because they’re members of the parliament. They’re representing our interests, they’re paid by our taxes, and they effectively work for us. We’re equals before the law, even if many politicians dabble in corruption, that shouldn’t mean that they’re worth more or less than us, and any attempt to create a threshold between the ordinary citizen and his parliamentary representative will inevitably lead to the degeneration of the citizen’s position.
Not that I’d trust you to understand that, Rashid. I think your people’s vehement opposition to anything resembling progress and democracy, as well as your lower average intellect, renders you impervious to superior western political science and decision-making.
@@maple2524 yikes you really have the time right? do me a favor Mr racist try focusing your efforts trying to do something useful instead of telling 14 year old kids in the youtube comment section that their useless.
And by business attire, he means “western business attire”
Not true. Prior to the parliamentary revision regarding clothing, I don’t think a representative would have gotten away with routinely dressing up in a Lederhose. Why should “The West” at large take the blame for the actions of an individual Kiwi?
That is effed up. His pendant is clearly serving the same function. And it looks great, too. The smugness from the guy kicking him out is disgusting. What a slimeball.
He doesn't look smug, he looks constipated
@@PowerStallionGym He looks smug and constipated.
They have just changed the rules so that ties are no longer compulsory. All happened within a week. So Now This should have given the whole story not just the headlines.
@@jillmortlock8439 at this moment it was compulsory AND it wouldnt have ben a problem, if he would have wear both attires...the MP tried to make the speaker kick him out, he prepared for this decicion beforehand an argument against the speaker and he made afterward the offical attire of the parlament of that country to a symbole of colonial opression.....
the attire is decided by a democratic process between the members of the parlament...not by traditional rules of the past...the MP disrespected the decision of his others parlament members for a political message.
@@apollomars1678 and obviously our others parliamentarians heard him. Some of the biggest fraudsters, pedophiles and murderers were wearing suits and ties. "Business attire" is no Indication character.
Dude, he is wearing a pretty necklace not a thong over his head
Exactly
So true!!!!! Because rules don't exist who knows what a rule is?
It’s actually so much more than just a necklace, it’s part of his culture, which is supposed to be celebrated in NZ. To see someone try to silence an indigenous MP for wearing a hei-tiki, which has a deep meaning in Māori culture, is very disappointing.
@@mook_butt8037 he is doing it for clout he could wear a suit in Parliament and wear that thing outside
@@zz-uq2ow You could keep your comments to yourself, but you didn't. Funny how that works
"You cannot wear your useless decorative neck rock. We only allow useless decorative neck cloths. BEGONE!"
he can wear his useless decorative neck rock, but he has to go, because of the lack of an useless decorative neck cloth, agreed to be used by all parlament members by a democratic decision as a rule beforehand. BEGONE.
@G B they don’t like feeling uncomfortable and embracing discomfort. It’s not something that they’re privy to
Actually his neckless is not useless at all, it represent their culture and formality, meanwhile forcing everyone to wear ties(even tho that the parliament says that they can wear their cultural formal/business attire) is a sign of capitalism.
Rules are not meant to be broken, but who are we without our roots and culture?!
@@saeedatenzi the parlament allows the wearing of cultural pendants (thereby allowing the wearing of cruxifix for example in parlament or this cultural Maori pendant), but the wearing of buisness attire is a rule by conformism inside a democratic parlament of equal offical positions.
the crown or other symboles of nobility to symbolice the equality of the same rank of honour is not a symbole of capitalism, but from universal respect to other in equality.
so the claim of anti-capitalistic culturism is wrong in this aspect. it is about the abbolishment of a formal rule of adequat respect by earing a tie in society. the parlament mebers voted on this subject and decided in a majority to support the tie as a symbole of respect and proper behavior inside the parlament, THAN they abolished this symbole, because his function became obsolet in recent years of society.
the tie is not a symbole of capitalism. you dont need to wear a tie to become a capitalist and most rich antimoralic antisocial capitalists will go against this attire to blend into society as regular free citizen, while evading taxes.
the tie is thereby more a symbole of western gentleman-culture, honour and respect and the actual acceptance for other cultures to wear ties as equal to that western culture is an actual symbole of equality. if culture is more important than respect to others, than we could ban the wearing of ties for people of different cultural background. I suspect, that you wouldnt like this law for good reasos as well.
@@saeedatenzi Representing something while serving no practical purpose is the definition of useless. But then so are the ties. People should be able to wear whatever they want. If he wants to wear a rainbow top hat that represents his great grandma, go for it, who cares.
And to answer your question, without "roots and culture" we'd probably be a much more rational and less fragmented species, but if people want to base their identity around what some dude a thousand years ago thought was cool, more power to them.
Shameful. Hopefully, this will shift.
And people act like New Zealand is a utopia. They are farther ahead but they're just as imperfect as the rest of the world.
We just changed the rules yesterday actually so no more ties, though NZ is def not a utopia with that vile Jacinda Ardern continuing to allow house prices to rise
NZ is looking better to me than America is.
@@reply9509 Not the point guy. I am saying I dislike when people act like they're so above everyone else when they have public college and public health care. No country is a utopia and is perfect. Try again guy.
@@brettlarch8050 what r u talking about? I just stated an opinion. And I don't think I was trying to make a point. But okay. Have a great day girlfriend. 😉👍
@@brettlarch8050 I dunno that they're people saying they're above others but as someone in america I would honestly prefer public college as apposed to have to take out a loan and prefer a public health care as health care could only get more expensive on the fact alone in some case we have to pay a thousand for just the ambulance but you know not to defend that there uptopia. But form looks definitely better than the US from the sound of it that already changed the rules although I guess that's aside the "point".
Ties are the weirdest accessory if you stop and think about it.
Its just a necklace, what is go weird about it?
@@Leomoon101 It's a huge cloth necklace.
I think huge necklaces are weird and I think cloth necklaces are weird.
Phallic symbol. They must be jealous that their ties are soft while this guy has a hard rock.
It's a business BDSM tool and it's not weird if you think about it.
Take the cowboy hat of for a start no cultural statement there. I'm sure there is more important things you can winge about
The caucasity of this business attire is what we want it to be...
They also decide who is civil and uncivil. Colonialism hasn’t ended. It just took on a different form.
@@prestonmatthews725 China is around the corner and that is not good news for NZ.
@@kitty2527 and that’s why you folks other time and see them as a threat because they’re basically doing what the white men did or doing and might have learned a lot from them.
@@prestonmatthews725 That right, they learnt what the Japanese did to invade China and set up the Manuchuria Empire using Puyi who was the last Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the Dynasty in China history. The Chinese know the about the Maori and the history in that area, so they will size the opportunity and took a foothold over the whole area.
Much respect for the Maori people and their families community amnesty and civil rights peace and blessings
@Elmer Lappay you would think that but no you would be mistaken. There are many inequalities still in NZ
We just changed the rules yesterday so he’s good now
thank you
tiiiiight
Really?
Smug colonialists.
Maori should have the right to wear what they want in New Zealand 🇳🇿 It is THEIR land. The European people living in New Zealand should take their European clothing back to Europe
You’re starting to sound like the abos here in Australia.
Facts bro
@@thedarkman4901 Ah hi racist! Wondering when you'd show up
Ironic considering he wears a blazer with an American cowboy hat.
Are you insane?? No one can say to the white people go back to where you came from, they own the world
Imagine not being able to participate in democracy because of a necktie...
His democratic rights weren't effected at all.
He's a radical that politicized this. His party doesn't even have the majority of Maori support, hence why they have only two seats and in opposition
Cultural discrimination because they didn’t like that his tie wasn’t a typical long necktie?
cultural discrimination, because he didnt wore a tie and tried to hide this lack with an accepted cultural pendant. He COULD have wore the pendant AND and tie, but he decided against that cultural and offical dress code.
They don't trust anyone not in a leash like them.
@@apollomars1678 The speaker's own words indicate that a tie was not required. I pity your lack of short term memory.
@@nathanlevesque7812 the speakers own words just indicated, that a cultural pendant would be allowed to be worn in consense with the buisness attire.
this is nromal. without this rule, every pendant would be illegal. most pendant with political meanings are illegal. cultural pendant are allowed to wear. WITH A TIE
@@apollomars1678 Lie all you want. Everyone can see what's really going on.
That's discrimination at the highest level,it shows how pathetic people are and it's rediculous,you should be ashamed of yourself over a dress code,...
so the next day the rightwing party in new zealand will vote for the abandoning of the dress code, that is stopping them to wear political symbols of actual discrimination in the parlament.....we should be ashamed to stop political actions as a show of disrespect in parlament.
@@apollomars1678 well he should have listened to him,the gentlemen with the stone tie was being respectful and to be honest with you man,it's really bad in the United States government right now,Biden is throwing america straight into the ground,it's a disgrace from my view and I'm so sick of government right now and abuse if power I guess I shouldn't have commented I'm just wound tight and looking for trouble
Ties are not mandatory business attire last time I checked.
I work in business attire every day - haven’t worn a tie in about 10 years!
@@chriskeentechnician thats called business casual 😂
@@Sarubotai so it’s still business attire then huh 😉 I would definitely not consider what I wear business casual just because I don’t wear a tie
I think he was dressed well. Leave this man along. Don't you have bigger issues to dill with. Than picking on your brother or sisters.
the parlament is not an area to make a political statement with your cloth out of respect to the other parlament members. for this reason all parlament members have dress codes and different behavior rules to secure the efficent work in the parlamnt for the citizen. the bigger issues.
the MP in this video decided to ask for the possibility to wear a cultural pendant and it was accepted by the parlament rules to wear such a pandent. the MP decided for himself, that this would allow him as the sole member of parlament to be present without the correct attire and later claimed, that his former claim, that this pendant was a cultural pendant, would be actual rong and that it is an actual "Maori tie" and the western tie a symbole of colonial opression of his people. he basicly brandmarket all other members of the parlament as supporter of colonial views, while switching for political reason the actual definition o his attire, making his former claims to the parlament a lie.
to lie to other members of the parlament is an actual insult to the institution, that represent passive all citizens of that country and thereby a crime and this could end up on court, if the parlament legislators would be interested to make such a process.
all this is happening, because *he didnt wore a tie AND the pendant* at the same time with the reasoning for this decision against the speaker for this decision prepared before the meeting allread yin his pocket. he knew, that he broke the attire code on PURPOSE. HE broke rules and made it an issue on purpose to be victimized.
Yep they have to fix the education system so people like you leave school with a better grasp of english.
@@apollomars1678 he wasn’t making a political statement or anything he just wanted to wear his culture and that’s it. Honestly, pointing out his attire and saying he shouldn’t wear it is a political statement saying u shouldn’t wear the business attire of another culture just our culture because that is business attire in their culture. And he didn’t break the rules because that very same guy who was picking on him said he wasn’t going to address formal attire of other cultures. So it’s his words against his own. Let the man wear what business attire he wants
@@ehpawsha2181 he was able to wear his cultural pendant, but he DIDNT WANTED TO WEAR A TIE with his pendant together, so he made a political statement about the dress code.
@@apollomars1678 thats not a political statement. thats just not wanting to wear a tie. not wanting to wear a tie is his choice. he did not have any obligations to do as the guy said
The Occupation insists that the subjected people, dress like occupiers.
Not insists. Demands. Let it make the "Occupiers" not fret you're different to their God Complex. Because basically, that's exactly what it is. The definition to the letter. What "can" the subjects do except two things. Ban together, or take it.
White guilt liberal. Waaaaah I’m a privileged white man with white savior syndrome.
@@izsakisreal8379 You talk just to hear your tongue rattle, like the marbles in your head.
Colonialism, perfectly summed up in one interaction.
The Maori 'colonised' New Zealand in about 950ad and you can be sure this aggressive warlike people would have wiped out any indigenous people they encountered.
Is this 2021, or perhaps this is a video from 100 years ago. I can't believe what I've just seen.
Your seen a cherry picked version.
NZ Maori have more rights than any other indigenous people in the world and the only indigenous where the treaty is honored
@@annaleekale2957 I hear you and yet as an elected official, a representative of the people, he can't wear clothes that shall we say represent his heritage, being forced to adopt the clothes of his colonial oppressors.
He’s a native in his own country, why would he be forced to copy foreign culture?🤷🏽♂️
Making him bow down is the objective
Sorry, what year is this?
We all know it wasn’t about a dang tie...
Being a student of Matua Waititi I got to say he is an Amazing Man Pono to his word and towards our Maori Culture with the amount of knowledge he has in his kete, Keep it Up Matua
Can relate too much. Coming from South Africa
Touché mntakuthi 😑
That’s just ridiculous! That’s his culture!
What if his culture insisted on nudity? In public.
@@peterembranch5797 Whatever his culture is, the new comer shall respect them.
@@tomsriver2838 I think you don't know much about Maori culture. They kept slaves, for instance.
@Andy P Saying everyone else did is to avoid the issue. They don't do it now, and if someone did, and their excuse was "it's my culture" he'd get short shrift. As to nudity being "rather inappropriate", well it isn't inappropriate if it's part of your own culture now is it. It's inappropriate to YOU because it's not YOUR culture.
Look, you either have rules or you don't. The NZ Parliament have rules: it follows that those rules should be followed. The correct approach is to move that the rules be amended.
The speaker should be kicked out he's stuck in the past!
Callus Bush...yep that's some old embedded racism there!
It's the rules. Not his fault.
@@Leo-vq7kl a speaker decides the rules in the house and they've changed it now don't be a bootlicker all your life!
Colonizers telling indigenous people what they can and cannot wear. Sounds about white.
So women were also required to wear a tie that is traditionally considered male attire? This entire issue is absurd.
Women are not required to wear ties in the House, it is optional. The co-leader wore it by choice
No women don't have to wear ties
There is something so troubling when an old, white guy determines what is culturally appropriate.
He’s usually quite alright that man, it’s quite shocking though
@@timo9825 It seems he (and others) did the right thing immediately, but just that short clip gave the world the impression of colonialism still happening in NZ
I feel you my man, in some South African schools you cannot attend class with an Afro haircut. Imagine being told what is acceptable or not acceptable in your own land just so you can assimulate into a colonialist's culture. Oh dear colonialist, you truly have no shame.
Assimilation Fail.
I thought New Zealand was good.
There's always a few bad eggs.
Dudes face after the words "I don't recognize the member" is just asking for the punch in the face. Or a removal from the office for the cultural discrimination
The "tie' ultimately is a White colonial symbol and even IF the speaker wanted to "correct" the issue, you don't dismiss an entire opportunity to conduct laws of the land over a petty issue that shouldn't exist in the first place. The Speaker should be ashamed of himself.
if the "tie" is an ultimative while colonial symbol, than why did the MaoriMP described his own cultural pendant later as a Maori-tie, so a ultimative whitecolonial symbole of Maori-culture.
the problem was, that the MP was allowed to wear his pendant, but STILL denied the wearing of the offical attire of a parlament member of this instituion by the rules of this institution. the rule is made by the parlament members in a democratic system to prevent disrespectfull and political actions in parlament, like calling the cloths of other parlament members a symbole of white colonial opression. thereby the MP has insulted and disrespected the other parlament members, including his fellow different Maori MP and thereby HAD to be removed out of this parlament session.
these laws exist to prevent politcal and disrespcting actions in parlament and they secure the equality of all parlament members in this room. the speaker defended this equality, while the MP on purpose broke this equality and created an issue over a tie, calling it a White colonial symbol for himself and ignoring the views of all other members of parlament, who are allowed to have a different opinion in a democraty.
While I think it is utterly ridiculous that he is not being allowed to speak for wearing a cultural attire,I do not think a tie is a symbol of white colonialism,I find that statement to be ridiculous as to most people it is seem as professionalism and most likely the speaker was calling him unprofessional which is uncalled for,however I do not like that literally all caucasians are tied to their ancestors whenever one of us does something bad against another race,its my opinion and I respect yours also.
@@slamaramabang6137 he was not kicked out for wearing the pendant, he was kicked out for not wearing the tie. he could wear both. this was legal.
What would have happened if he wore a tie and his cultural symbol. Hmmmmmm?
"how dare you wear your cultural symbol over our meaningless piece of cloth."
nothing...thats the funny thing. this would have been 100% legal.
@@nyangb6531 so now a tie is not a symbole of colonal opression?
Absolutely nothing, other Maori MP’s have done this. Veterans can’t wear medals or military uniforms and Scottish Kiwis can’t wear kilts but he is let off with a stupid cowboy hat and was given a chance to go get properly dressed and come back but instead he argued with the speaker with a rule the speaker didn’t even make it’s just his job to enforce the rules.
Ridiculous! Are women required to wear ties???
No they are not, not in the U.S or Canada.
No, women are not. The co leader of his party that you saw in the video wore one to make a point.
Is a man allowed to wear a dress? Or does it have to be trousers and tie?
I don't like piercings. But if it's a political committee and the person (male/female/divers) got elected then it's their right to stand there and talk and express his opinion. Even if he/she/whatever is allowed to have piercings or allowed to wear bathing clothes. It's a public, elected function and not a private restaurant.
No
@@catqueen47913 I would say yes they were making a point, because I have never noticed any NZ female politician wearing a tie before this (I am a NZer) so I would say they were all wearing a tie to support him on that particular day, and good on them too.
That is definitely a tie. It is something tied around the neck just as any other kind of tie.
MAKE SURE YOU BAN HIJAB AND TUDUNG IN YOUR PARLIAMENT TOO.
That's really f. up! Dress code?? for him must be already difficult to wear a suit, now to hear "I do not recognize the member. He will now leave the chamber" .... for a tie???
You're living on this man's land, and you have the nerve to claim he's not properly dressed. Disgusting.
From New Zealand? I am surprised as well as disappointed.
That speaker needs to step down. He was clearly discriminating.
the MP need to be sentences a finefor disrespecting the rules of the parlament and calling the offical democratic decided attire of all parlament members a symbole of colonial opression against him.
The way that man was looking at him showing that he thought he was some sort of superior being the df was wrong with that dude braking order like some sort of despot with no respect
"that man was looking at him showing that he thought he was some sort of superior being"
That's called white privilege.
the Maori MP lied to the speaker of the parlament. he asked, if it was allowed to wear a cultural pendant and than in the session he tried to argue with this e-mail, that the speaker allowed him to break the cloth attire rules for that cultural pendant, while this was not the claim of the speaker.
later the MP argued, that this pendant would have been a Maori-tie thereby he lied about the function of this pendant to the speaker. the MP lied to the speaker to get special rights against the other equal member sof parlament. imagine, a rightwing populists would argue about a "cutlural cloth-deco" with the speaker and than appear in a uniform to break with his this attire the actual cloth attire on purpose for a poliitical scandal.
@@apollomars1678 do you have an artcule also there have being right winger who complain jsut on issue that xan be differnt like the immigration of Africans and Middle Eastern people into European nations. They're goofy at the Golden Dawn who Advocate for a type of removal and rejection of non-ethnic and our racial connected cultural groups of people from the nation. So it has been people try to pull for some sort of special treatment because immigration is taking out a crime by the European Union or the government some of people are coming in into
Lifts up his hat to show he's wearing a tie round his head - "There you go mate, I'm properly dressed!!"
It's amazing.
Rambo style lol
He should have done what was needed. Now it's all about a tie instead of his agenda
w people
That was UNFAIR!! Culture is a part of you and shouldn't be taken away from you either.
That looks cool and professional, I would wear that...
They were just jealous of his drip.
Sick colonial ignorance !
Both are right and both wrong at the same time
One of the ways colonial powers seek to silence indigenous voices. Trevor Millard is a good man..but on this point he was wrong to push the issue and silence his voice
Ridiculous!!!
Can someone explain to me the importance of tie and why it exists?
Aww...ye old gentrification of native peoples to force them to accept English culture. Imperialism lives!
It's ridiculous that this is an issue, but more ridiculous that valuable time is wasted in debating this when there are so many other really important issues.
The speaker of the House was between a rock and a hard place. He is in favour of ties NOT being compulsory but the members of the house voted to retain it. The co-leader of te pāti Māori was making a point by wearing a hei-tiki, a very important and symbolic item, but not technically a tie. Trevor Mallard, under the rules of the House, had no choice but to refuse to recognise Rawiri Waititi as he was considered to be dressed improperly. Love that the co-leader, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, was wearing a tie to show how ridiculous it all is.
Good sense has now prevailed all around and ties are no longer compulsory.
Please report the aftermath of this story as well..........
This video was uploaded on 11/02 but on 10/02 NZT, The Speaker of the Parliament began the session addressing the 'dropping of Tie' from "appropriate business attire".
If the colonizers all left they wouldn’t have to deal with what’s a real tie or not hahahahah
He’s the only one with fashion sense post Victorian times and they send him out....? Get bent New Zealand
It's all bout people, not wearing their identity is a downturn to democracy and human rights
This guy literally was like "ok I did say that, but I dont care." I'm so done with how old fogies that think hypocrisy is acceptable in any way
Why he is dressing like a Texan? is this a thing in New Zealand now? hope not...
The thumbnail made me think it was something from USA. Then i clicked and watched and THE TIE was in question.... WTF
Not from New Zealand, but any member of government who wastes this much time on debating ‘business attire’ are failing at their jobs. There are so many issues in our world that need to be addressed and tackled and instead, they waste time debating dress code? What is this? Middle school? It’s a part of the mans culture, and it’s obviously important to him. Let him wear it and stop wasting the time, and money of tax paying citizens.
Should be a much stricter dress code, Morning suits and hats...
the member is acting like a 6 years old and is wasting people's money.
Ties are awful and the absolute worst.
New Zealand !! 😨
Follow the dress code, or don't run for office.
its a tie bruh
If he's wearing something that's outright disturbing the parliament like- i don't know, a colander with flashy lights- it's understandable. an unassuming pendant? jesus.
So he is getting angry over a pendant which is classified as a 'cultural attire' its about time before he gets cancelled 🥶
while the MP get angry about the speaker, who dosnt accept to classify a cultural pendant as a tie, because the MP has classify it himself as a cultural pendant and not a tie in the e-mail.
when will ignorance leave this earth once and for all
Disgrace!!! Typical of pakeha to easily forget that they are the visitors! NOT US! They use our culture our people our mana our LAND for themselves and to showcase it around the world! It still shows us maoris that no matter how much progress we make to always stay vigil and woke! PAKEHA'S!👎
Imagine living in a country where the biggest news story is the debate on if a pendant is considered business attire or not.
they lived an amazing peaceful and prosperous life down there...
white-imposed business attire.
Kicked out for not being WHITE
I can’t imagine PM Ardern being happy about what happened
So no one ever really grows up? Their just given titles like "chairman" instead of "bully"
Sooo... MP Waititi's hei-tiki isn't allowed, but cultural intolerance is? Got it.
the hei-tiki was allowed, the lack of the tie wasnt allowed.
He was jealous and felt threatened because it looks too cool
mind you these dudes in his country tf 😂
This is late news or not telling the full story now. They have changed the rules since this happened, and rightly so
If you are committed to not accepting you are wrong or, at the very least, inconsistent, no point is going to "convince you"
Wow I’m on both of their sides New Zealand is truly magical
This doesn't make sense to me - who decides what the definition of "business attire" is? It's not even that dissimilar to a bolo tie... what about a cravat? Is that business attire?
So if the significant number of members decides that hats are business attire, they would all have to wear hats? What about kilts? or turbans? or no socks? This is stupid.
Yeah it seems really outdated. As a kiwi, I completely understand why this is important to his culture and I think it needs to be addressed and will hopefully lead to a rule change. He refers to the tie as the 'noose of colonialism' which is a completely valid point, considering the negative impact that colonialism has had on Maori. The speaker did suggest he empathised with his situation but was following the rules..... Definitely time to rethink this.
As an Croat 🇭🇷, a people who invented the tie 👔 and the fact that it is the cultural heritage of my people, it offends me that the New Zealand Parliament gives itself the right to condemn other cultures for not wearing a tie. By doing so, they add negativity to the cultural heritage of my homeland
All judges pretend to play God.
Change my mind.
Whaaaaaat? How is this even possible??? I hope there is consequences for this
As a New Zealander I'm heavily disappointed that it is the clothes one wears which matters, instead of who they are. If I went in wearing a 4 piece suit, I'm pretty sure I would be escorted out as I'm not a public party leader, NOT because of my clothing. This is bullsh*t.
Oh the drama ! .... as the world held its breath !!
I wish I lived in a country where this was the biggest issue in government.
Wot
So ridiculous, the guy did not encourage any insurrection or anything wrong. Just for a tie come on that's cultural discrimination!
Lets understand that colonization has occurred for thousands of years on a global scale. What occurred in New Zealand was no different to the ancient peoples of Europe when Rome showed up. That, said the original inhabitants of New Zealand we conquered by the current, "Native" peoples, before the English arrived to conquer them.
Biggity it is.
People weren’t elected because of their ability or willingness to wear ties. This is completely ignorant not to mention discrimination.
So, indigenous people of New Zealand are not allowed to wear their traditional attire because white people, the coloniser , preferred them to wear tie and suit that suits the taste of white colonial power? Yes, neo-colonization at its best, indeed.
Let me tell you, white people, suit and tie ARE NOT the only business attire. We, the indigenous peoples are NOT bound by YOUR rules. We have OUR OWN cultures and attires.
Geez, I hate a man said “not a member...” n other more, n then kick him out. If I work there, if the judge man or ...a man, kick him out of his own culture dress code; if he’s out, I’m going out too.
Sometimes I like to have a necklace or clothes that r part of my culture from my family n ancestor, to pass down generation. Idc if I brake a dress code rules, for just a small items or dress code that r part of my culture.
