Willie Jackson kicked out of Parliament in fiery attack on David Seymour as Treaty Principles Referendum dies
There’s a reason the Left loves Willie Jackson.
He’s a working class hero, the youngest Union leader of the meat workers, an Oxford Debating champion and he knows how to blend humour with cutting insight.
His first speech against the Treaty Principles Referendum saw him thrown out of Parliament for calling David Seymour a liar, and his second speech against it didn’t disappoint!
He referred to the Bill as a “political stunt” and told those on the government side that they should feel ashamed for bringing this vile legislation into the House.
He reminded everyone that this was always about legal rights, not race rights and argued ACT believes in property rights only if you are Pakeha.
This was an “outright assault on our history and our rights”, while calling ACT supporters, “Nut jobs”
Willie said Christopher Luxon wanted to be Prime Minister at any cost so he agreed to Seymour’s legislation because Luxon couldn’t stand up to Seymour.
Willie finished his speech saying, “I have had time to reflect on my first speech when I called David Seymour a liar. I have not changed my mind. When it comes to the Treaty of Waitangi, you will always be a liar,”
The Speaker Gerry Brownlee called on Jackson to apologise, but Jackson said that would be an insult to the select committee submitters.
The Speaker, for a second time, kicked Willie Jackson out of the House for speaking truth to power.
History was watching, and history will note his courage.
This horrid bill was voted down.
