    Of course intimidation is the point – psychological/political intimidation, not physical. Context matters. Don’t try to pretend that the other MPs were scared they were gonna charge at them with taiahas or something, because that’s bullshit and you know it.

      Actually, I don’t think one of the Maori party MPs throwing hands is particularly far fetched.
