Katrina Biggs and members of the Women’s Rights Party unveil a unique New Zealand suffrage flag, raised for the first time at New Zealand’s Parliament on 17 September 2026.
Speakers mark the 1893 victory — NZ as the first self-governing country to give women the vote, including Māori women — and explain the white camellia worn by supporters when the Bill finally passed by just two votes.
They note the 40-year wait for the first woman MP and the role of union women.
