Māori party co-leader said he had chosen to wear cultural dress in defiance of dress code which requires men to wear ties
The Māori party co-leader Rawiri Waititi has defied the order to wear a tie in the New Zealand parliament’s debating chamber – and was promptly ejected by the Speaker.
“It’s not about ties it’s about cultural identity mate,” Waititi said as he left the chamber, local media reported.
