Fresh from an out of court settlement which included a payment and apology from Mike Hosking and NZME – we have John Tamihere in the studio to ask him why he took a defamation case against one of the most well-known broadcasters in the country.

  1. Seems to me it’s an anti Maori, anti Labour/Greens/ NZ first and anti beneficiaries thing with Hosking.

    • And very anti Ardern. Called her queen Ardern this morning and some of his accusations this morning could bring about another defamation. The man doesn’t learn. The irony in the Tamahere case is Hosking hid behind the Newstalk ZB banner, talk about personal responsibility! He is an overpaid buffoon.

  2. John Tamihere: Mr. Frontbums, who is notorious for his pernicious attitude to women. Speaking of being treated like second-class citizens…..

    I cannot think why anyone would defend him.

  3. Tamihere is absolutely correct when he describes the way that any person accused of a crime who happens to be Maori is outed in the Herald.
    All sorts of meaningless, surely bred out of poverty petty crimes are still reported in the herald despite their worth being purely for the vicarious nosiness of curtain twitchers.

    When suppression orders prevent them from printing a name (herald makes certain full name including any Te Reo handle always gets printed if possible), they never fail to find a way to mention something that assures pakehas, the guilty party is one of that lot.

    “The defendant was supported by his/her extended family in the courtroom” is another Herald code, it makes me wonder if there isn’t a sub at the Herald who specialises in inventing this code. If there is, the low life scumbag could make a better earner as a copywriter.

    It really blows me away that in 2020 Aotearoa’s ‘best’ fishwrap still gets up to these nasty, cheap & transparently racist slams.
