Of genuine concern to all Kiwis is the naked bigotry that has been flamed by evangelical paster and supposed historian, Pastor Julian Batchelor.
Julian’s anti co-governance speaking tour has been righteously protested against up and down the country. He cherry picks facts and then presents those facts as evidence of a conspiracy by Māori ‘elite’ to secretly take over New Zealand.
The idea that the drive for co-governance and working together is really a secret plot to undermine the constitution speaks of an ignorance that has become weaponised bigotry!
Co-Governance was of course the elegant solution created by National and ACT to create partnerships to work alongside Māori with. To have these structures built by the political Right become misrepresented as a stealth attack on democracy by the Left is disingenuous in the extreme of Julian.
Painting attempts to live the Treaty in susch existential extremes demands of Julian’s followers extreme responses and is calling for a protest on the Election.
This racist friction will become unbearable this election, especially with ACT promising to force National into a referendum to redefine the Treaty and force that redefined Treaty upon Māori.
This election has the potential to unleash an anger generated by fear towards Māori the likes we haven’t seen in a long time.

*crickets chirping*
Martyn – True…However, some of the footage of the counter protesters hitting older NZers turning up to hear Julian, and the Police turning a blind eye – feels like Albert Park de ja vu
serves them right for supporting a troglodyte like Batchelor… if you want to support an inflammatory and divisive rhetoric don’t be surprised when it gets shoved back in your face. To highlight a few incidents that over step the mark, as some sort of apologetics, is frankly, pathetic.
the man with no name – Except if it happens to you…right? Thugs hitting older people is bad news.
And yet the Maori gentleman who went to listen to this guy speak was not allowed entry because, well, he was Maori.
That makes it racist and bigotry. Let’s not forget the physical escorting from the building. But as you say it’s different if it happens to you.
National are Squeaky Clean – The Maori Guy was not allowed in because he was yelling insults, not because he was Maori…the physical escorting was due to her blowing a whistler over, and over again during the presentation, and refused to go…again, if I, or you did that we would also be barred entry, and/or physical removed
Different Maori guy Nathan at a different meeting.
Thanks for reminding readers that NSC is not the most reliable of witnesses.
Pope Punctilious II – Thank you. The thug veto has no place in politics…debate is great
Pope who?
Pope Punctilious II. What’s it like for room with Julian Batchelor at the bottom of the rabbit hole?

Thanks for reminding readers that Pope Punctilious ll is a child in a forum for adults.
It’s an “adult” forum? Well some of the material posted is indecent, if that’s what you mean.
National for one have been an embarrassment on this issue ( impressive when you would think Labour were embarrassing enough for everyone). Luxon is anti co governance at a central level but happy with it at a council level according to his own words. He’s also said he wants water assets to remain with those very same councils. Surely people can see what a line of bs that is. Just opposition for the sake of it riding along on the burning cross express. That’s the future PM. FFS
Not correct.
Not Council level but “local level” where there is an historical link of use or ownership.
Seems reasonable to me.
Yet water infrastructure and resource is broken Gary and the old adage of doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result comes to mind. Strange that this seems reasonable to you.
Bert. Dont be cruel to people of lower intellect to yourself.
Rodel I’m assuming that’s satirical?
Lower than bert is impossible.
I dunno Bob, the picture of you above is the lowest of low but given your educational history, no one and I mean no one is lower than you. Your continued late replies show you to be my number one troll supporter, for that I am grateful.
But is it really. I have a wide circle of friends and family across the country none have any issues with getting clean tap water or sewage disposal.
A small minority.
Then why when you are wrong bert do you keep saying the same thing over and over again?
9 days later Bob, have you finally been released from the pedophile prison?
Trolling around in dark places as a troll suits you Bob the nasty.
What? Which assets are we talking about and are you saying the councils are not managing them?
Unfortunately, people only see what they want to see, pick any topic where there should be evidence-based answers & you will find people making assumptions & coming to different conclusions.
Julian and Seymour Butt stoking the fires of fear sounds like the lead up to NZ Land Wars where the residents of Auckland were fearful of being attacked by Waikato and Ngati Maniapoto in the 1850’s???
Yep. Colon-ists to the very end.
It really is a wheel innit. Just keeps going round and round and not getting anywhere.
Or black workers could simply struggle together alongside workers of all other races, and abolish the exploitation of man by man, in one united labour movement. Ownership along clan bloodlines, segregated government, handouts to black millionaires — not progressive!
Black and Maori have the same amount of letters. Try typing Maori, because when you type Black, I automatically assume you are an inbred Boer.
Julian Batchelor. A cringe worthy loser. Tie him to a chair, shoot him up with Ecstasy powder then give him a blow-up sex doll and don’t forget to take pictures and video.
He did actually have his property taken off him by some people of a certain demographic. I guess that’s OK for you while you indulge in your bizarre fantasies
No he didnt, where did you hear that?
If you read his story it says heritage Nz took his house in 2018 as the land was classified as sacred to the local tribe. I do not like the guy but can understand why he is angry
From the man himself.
then he lied to you. he has been petitioned to not destroy one single part of it. the land is still his.
It would appear that TPM at between 2 and 4 percent in the polls are not even getting Maori excited about co governance.
I think the only person excited by TPM is Martyn in the vain hope they will save the left from oblivion
1 person 1 vote anything else will just stir the pot of steaming shit below the surface crud in kiwi society
agree
Agree.
Anything less is the very definition of racism and can only lead to dark places, resentment and quite possibly some biffo.
2 wrongs will never ever make a right.
Ah, so that’s who Julian Batchelor is.
I’d like to see the co-governance issue over. It’s annoying to see Right-wingers talking for democracy.
Just looking at report on history of klukluxklan. These violent perverted ravers are ottt – evil worms in their heads. Batchelor could be the same.
