议长布朗利(Brownlee)在毛利人议员的演讲超过时间后执行更严格的规则,包括未经批准的文化表演,并援引保护议会尊严的必要性。 Speaker Brownlee enforced stricter rules after a Maori MP’s speech exceeded time and included unsanctioned cultural performances, citing need to protect Parliament’s dignity.

议长Gerry Brownlee宣布在奥里尼·凯帕拉(Oriini Kaipara)的婚前演讲超过15分钟时限后更严格地执行议会规则, Speaker Gerry Brownlee announced stricter enforcement of parliamentary rules after Oriini Kaipara’s maiden speech exceeded the 15-minute limit and included unsanctioned waiata and haka, prompting a 10-minute suspension. 他强调,虽然允许文化表达方式,但是不尊重程序有损议会的尊严。 He emphasized that while cultural expressions are permitted, disrespect for procedures undermines Parliament’s dignity. Brownlee将更严格地采取纪律措施,寻求改变出勤、着装和休假规则,对问题实行更大的控制,并列举干扰因素,将业绩置于立法之上。 Brownlee will apply disciplinary measures more rigorously, seek rule changes on attendance, dress, and leave, and exercise greater control over questions, citing disruptions that prioritize performance over legislation. 由于Kaipara宣誓就职后的时机,没有正式将此事提交特权委员会处理。 No formal referral to the Privileges Committee was made, due to the timing after Kaipara’s swearing-in. 业务委员会将审议各项变动。 Changes will be considered by the Business Committee.
