Useless. Just like the New Zealand parliament. 📂 Archived Message Posted by Morrissey on May 21, 2021, 10:57 am, in reply to "Israel and Gaza Ceasefire Debate. Needs strong stomach. Though Burgon called for sanctions." Earlier this week, Green Party MP Golriz Gharaman moved a special motion for the NZ parliament to recognize Palestine as a state. It failed after a block refusal by the right wing National and ACT parties. She was then reprimanded by the speaker for wasting the parliament's time by putting forward a motion she knew was bound to fail. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/125175638/green-partys-motion-to-declare-palestine-a-state-fails-in-parliament Message Thread: Israel and Gaza Ceasefire Debate.
