The last election in New Zealand was accompanied by a huge wave of anti-indigenous & anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke is NOT having it. Despite her youth (she's only 21!) and lack of political experience, she has donned the mantle of her political and activist ancestors and ran for Parliament - beating her incumbent who had held the seat almost 20 years.
She is already fighting for the rights of Māori and she brings with her that Gen Z fire and absolutely zero f*cks. At her first address in Parliament on December 12th, 2023, she opens her speech with the Māori Haka - a traditional war cry - rallying all Māori in the room to fight for their rights in the face of the Nationalist Government seeking to dismantle the legislation that has been protecting them for over 180 years.
Listen now to learn more about what's going on in New Zealand and what Hana-Tawhiti is doing about it!
