New Zealand MP Rawiri Waititi was thrown out of a debate in parliament after performing the haka in protest against the opposition party.

The protest came after a heated exchange where the Maori politician accused the opposition of a "constant barrage of insults" towards indigenous people.

Mr Waititi was ejected from the chamber in February for not wearing a tie.

Maybe it's just me, but it shows more class (or at least more creativity) than just raising the Hawaiian Good Luck sign.

I would have yelled "Gator!" and hit the floor.
