The Treaty of Waitangi is unlikely to be added
to the Parliament oath.
Hone Harawira was not sworn into Parliament by the Speaker last week.
He added parts to the oath
reaffirming his support for the Treaty.
This is what PM John Key had to say.
Why protest if you can't be seen or heard?
This was said about protesters
on the Auckland Harbour Bridge this morning.
They climbed to the top span with a placard
and Tino Rangatiratanga flag.
They protested against deep sea drilling.
Five males and two females aged between 18 and 30
were detained by police for wilful damage
and unlawfully being on the walkway.
They will appear in North Shore District Court on Friday.
