New Zealand Parliament allowed Roeri Waititi, a Maori member of parliament, to speak in the House of Representatives the day after he was expelled for violating parliamentary dress codes for refusing to wear a tie.

Waititi is one of two Maori MPs who have a sacred tattoo on the face called moku kawai. The other, Nanaya Mahuta, is the first Maori woman and second person to hold the position of foreign minister.
