Today’s hypocrite of the day, Maori Party co-leader **Rawiri Waititi** made a massive fuss about being forced to wear what he derogatorily referred to as a **“Colonial noose”**. Yet he happily wore it during the election campaign long before he was in parliament where high standards of dress ~~apply~~ used to apply (thanks to Speaker **Trevor Mallard** lowering the bar and giving in to the lowest common denominator).

He also wore it when giving the PM a hongi, so that clearly illustrates that the stance he took in Parliament was nothing more than a ‘look at meeee, look at meeee, I’m Maori and I need special treatment’ moment.
