Green MP Expelled for Calling Out Racism | Auckland News

Chlöe Swarbrick, Green Party co-leader, was expelled from Parliament for challenging Speaker Gerry Brownlee’s handling of racist remarks by Winston Peters — who told a Chinese MP to “go back to your own country.” Swarbrick accused the Speaker of double standards, arguing that rules aren’t applied equally and that the Speaker has a duty to uphold fairness. The Greens formally demanded an apology and Peters’ withdrawal, while PM Luxon called the comments racist — but Peters hasn’t apologized. Swarbrick now questions the government’s role in enabling racism and says New Zealanders see a lack of impartiality in parliamentary proceedings.
