Nothing says banjo twanging and cross burning jamboree quite like angry booing at the mere use of Māori at the beginning of a meeting…

…If you hate Maori so much that you start booing the second you hear the language, you perhaps need to have a long hard look at yourselves.

How humiliating for Simon Bridges, Tauranga and the Taxpayers Union.

Hilariously this actually highlighted the political problem for National. You look at that audience, it’s all white silver haired provincial crackers with as much cosmopolitan grace as Martinis made with piss.

This electorate is declining rapidly as the next generation rise up. By 2023, Gen X plus Millennials will be a numerically larger voting block than boomers.

Don’t fear the naked racism on display in Tauranga, appreciate it for the dying gasp of a generations political dominance.

  1. The hecklers prove that racism is entrenched in some sectors of NZ society; no surprise that it happened in Tauranga. Not only was it racist it was simply rude; has Simon Bridges spoken out and called it for what it is?

    • Lot of old white, self-entitled boomers there. It’s a place the rich whites love to retire to. It’s basically our Florida LOL.

  2. This was a real beat up of some journalists . Listening to someone who was there and the speaker it seems 3 -4 people were derogatory and the rest of the shouting came from people who were trying to shout them down. It was a poor form but I cannot see how it reflected on Simon Bridges

  3. But I keep hearing that white privilege doesn’t exist in NZ and if it actually does, that it should not be acknowledged, let alone apologised for. And yet, here we are at a ratepayers meeting witnessing it for ourselves. Peter Williams might say he was embarrassed by it all, but come Monday he will be back on air complaining about NZ being called Aotearoa, listening to callers describing NZ’s race relations as the best in the world, that Maori as a race no longer exist, that Maori killed the original inhabitants, that blue eyed blond people lived in NZ long before Maori came to these shores, that being Maori gives you privilege over and above anything the Pakeha can aspire t and all the usual shit you get on talkback. If Williams uses this experience to examine his own rhetoric that he gets paid to spit out then more power to him. Otherwise it’s back to the normal ‘what are they complaining about’. Embarrassing indeed.

  4. Poor old National Party. Jesus that was awkward. As for the Nationals Tax Payer Union, pure Birmingham Alabama circa 1960! Good shit guys! Not.

    God-fearing ZB listening, boiled cabbage eating white folk, empowered by Judiths race-baiting, took back control after one of their own dared to utter half a dozen non-English words. Maori words even worse. There was no way on Gods green earth they were putting up with that PC wokester shit. Not on their watch. What is needed is concentration on arithmetic and growing your own vegetables thank you very much! And buying investment homes.

    But mostly it was the comments in the Aotearoa Herald that were priceless;

    From Herald subscriber Francois N “What’s next? Asian and Indian with English and Moari as I’m sure there are more Indian and Asian people in NZ than Moari”. “Moari” as actually spelt by Francois!

    Or John M “I agree with the audience. Sick of having It rammed down out throats”

    Or Peter B “…I think what you saw yesterday was a reaction to what this govt has been forcing down the throats of every Kiwi of late , and finally, a few, probably good caring and giving Kiwis, reacted. Enough is enough.

    Yep, its the gummits fault Pete but praise be for good caring and giving Kiwi’s.

    There are so many comments that are just funny, not that the Herald ever intended its audience to be seen as checked shirt – pick up truck driving – good ol’ boys. But then again with the media now referring to NZ as Aotearoa as if there has been a name change, reaction to something so infinitesimal as if it was a declaration of war in its threat will always be completely out of proportion.

    This country will change, but clearly, some don’t like being pushed there at the rate the change is going.

    • Great comments XRay.

      The Nats are fast devolving into a mutant form of NZFirst, but with a persistent adherence to failed Rogernomics and their own particular brand of corruption.
      Someone needs to tell these political dinosaurs that bright light in the sky ain’t God, it’s the impending meteor……

  5. We now have everything we [don’t] need in NZ.
    We have the Apprentice – just like the US.
    We have Antivaxxer tin-foil, cone-headed conspiracy theorists – just like the US.
    We have “white silver haired provincial crackers” – just like the US.
    We have “banjo-twanging naked racism” – just like the US.
    We have David Seymour’s “gun lobbyist on the back of his free-speech political panzer-wagon” – just like the US.
    We have our own gun-nutters – just like the US [ Remember, ‘guns don’t kill people, people kill people’, but a gun is heaps easier than a butter knife or a cheese grater]

    Look for NACT to:
    change our National Anthem
    leak its 2023 election slogan “Make New Zealand Great Again”
    meld the best bits of Todd Muller, Don Brash, Soimon Brudges and Chris Luxon into A National FrankenTrump leader to replace Crusher.

    Then, we’ll be the 53 state of the US of A.

    • You have impressive foresight @ zip it.
      Taking over @ Maori by patronising stealth is part of the decolonisation plan too, in my opinion.
      I saw a photo of adern and sco mo giving each other a Hongi in queenstown on this morning’s rnz and if I were Maori I’d be having a little bit of sick at the sight of such a brazen act of obsequious and sycophantic arse kissing at Maori culture’s expense.

      “Don’t fear the naked racism on display in Tauranga, appreciate it for the dying gasp of a generations political dominance.”
      Exactly !
      How about reclaiming the name Tauranga @ Maori? Let’s call Tauranga Chicken Town instead ?
      John Cooper Clarke.
      ” Chicken Town.”
      It’s the actual proper one with all the fuck words. Not the “Oh dear me! Well I never !” retired accountant version.

  6. Where is the statement from Meng? Has Foon been a bit reticent lately to comment on race issues, for example trying to guess the identity of that masked celebrity singer on YouTube threatening the bloody Maaaaris with his naughty language?
