    If you keep pushing the notion that one ethnicity is vanilla and profane, and another one is brown and sacred, you're going to have people like Rawiri leaning into the latter, becoming increasingly hyper-moral and repugnant in his sense of superiority. Its been interesting seeing how far he can push it.

    If Maori can't demonstrate they are in their position in Parliament to serve every citizen of New Zealand then they shouldn't be there. Serving Maori will not be achieved by putting down those who are not Maori.Counter productive. Imo.

If NZ manages to escape the clutches of the huge global corporations and corrupt govt officials that already have their tentacles on us, it will be I believe largely due to the influence of Maori, for their greater affiliation to the land than the average Pakeha is the way I see, & hope the guiding hand to be. And I, like most Kiwis, will be in support of this. It's the way Waititi's going about it that's wrong, he should understand his positional influence better and use it for the better. Yes there have been many wrongdoings since the Treaty and we have to get our skeletions out of the closet, so to speak. But we need an end point which will ultimately leave unhappy party's on both sides, and that has to be the point we all become 'one side'.

The likes of Hika and nephew Hone Heke were not happy as part of the treaty stated that all New Zealanders - Maori and European alike were to be equal... both Hika and Heke felt they should be superior to other tribes and objected to being thought equal! At no time in our early history did the European commit genocide of Maori... that was all down to Maori who committed genocide on a very big scale prior to the treaty being signed.

    What an insult to Captain Cook. It was on his second voyage, when the 'Adventure' (the ship that accompanied the 'Resolution') got into strife with the Māori. Māori had stolen food from the ship and had a fight with the crew, the crew were beaten and eaten. When Cook heard of this he declined to punish the perpetrators and the Māori tribe that had brought the murderers before him could not understand why he would not kill them, and were surprised when he set them free. How many Māori tribes would have done that !! We seem to be forgetting a lot of the good that Captain Cook did and trying to put him in a bad light, to put it mildly.

      Forward Thinker put Ardern into power resulting in the most deceitful Govt in NZ history. The guy's been hobby-horsing NZ politics right under our noses for as long as I can remember. He is the phantom in the house with the laughter to back it up.

    Waititi sounds like he would like to regress to the days when the Maori were constantly feuding between tribes, slaughtering many, cannabalising some, raping others and enslaving many. Utu always came at a terrible cost. And the musket wars took the slaughter to a whole new level.
    Those days there were no democratic rights, no freedom of speech, freedom of democracy or religion. And certainly no right to be a member of parliament in a true democratic society. And this is the big difference between communism and freedom.

    Sometimes people will say anything to get attention. I guess he wasnt brought up to respect elders or people with Mana. Winston was a great Foreign Minister as a side note.

      Since he's allegedly oppressed because of race his anti white narrative is deemed as the correct narrative.

    Dear me this is way way from a way in this day and age to forge strong ties with in our country we do not need this sort thing being put out there very very disappointed with this young man. Thought he had a much more intelligent view of the need for building bridges not rip them out.
