Brooke van Velden, ACT s Foreign Affairs spokesperson, on Wednesday revealed the party would file a motion asking for a debate in Parliament on whether or not the atrocities occurring in China under the Chinese Communist Party s watch is acts of genocide .
She described it as an act of solidarity with Canadian and British Parliaments which earlier this year described China s oppression of the indigenous people as crimes against humanity.
However, due to Labour s majority in the House, the success of such a motion would require support from its members. Mahuta, a Labour MP, said on Wednesday night that it is something her party would consider next week.
It s the obituaries folder.
Last month, when Prince Philip died, newsrooms around the world will have opened their own obituaries folders.
A story, likely started decades ago and gradually updated over the years, will have been printed out. Specific details will have been added - the date of the Duke of Edinburgh s death and his funeral arrangements, for example.
Broadcast reporters will have voiced the stories up, print reporters will have given it one last glance over.
And, within minutes of Buckingham Palace s announcement, stories painstakingly crafted over a period of years, in some cases involving five, maybe even 10 journalists, finally saw print.
