No wonder the NZ political right are terrified…
Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke’s ‘Ka Mate’ video has been viewed around 700 million times – news boss
Te Pāti Māori and the Act Party are claiming victory over the response to a video from Thursday’s Treaty Principles Bill debate that has gone viral.
The video, of Te Pāti Māori MP Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke performing Ka Mate at the bill’s first reading, as well as her subsequent suspension from the House, has been picked up widely by international media.
Spinoff editor at large Toby Manhire told RNZ’s Midday Report the video had been viewed about 700 million times so far.
…they know they have fucked up with this racist piece of legislation!
When Dame Jenny Shipley argues that it invites civil war.
When Chris Finlayson argues this Bill has destroyed our global race relations reputation.
When 40 Kings Council argue against it, when the Waitangi Tribunal calls it the worst abuse of the Treaty ever, you know the NZ Political Right have gone too far.
The NZ Political Right are panicking now and doing everything to victim blame Māori for being outraged at what National, ACT and NZF have enabled here.
The NZ Political Right threw a grenade into race relations and are now walking around going, ‘why are they so angry’?
The NZ Political Right fucked around, and now they are about to find out.
You can’t ram a racist piece of legislation through and expect Kiwis to simply accept what cracker wants.
The NZ Political Right want to cement into place 19th Century white settler privilege and the rest of us won’t put up with it.
National, ACT and NZF agreed to this, they wear the racism!
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Hana Rawitis behavior was pure drama and makes for good viewing on YouTube. If anyone cares, that’s a secondary issue.
If David Seymour/ Shane jones had done that to Hana Rawiti, that would have made higher viewing, and bigger protest.
It will be premature for left to think they have greater support from NZ and beyond. The bill will die in few months in similar fashion as the flag issue.
the two bully boys have been doing that to her everyday of her life and clearly she has said enough no more .
I suspect what Benny is getting at is that good drama has the most clicks. Global eyeballs. That’s how things are measured now. I’m not surprised some comments suggest uncertainty at what’s going on. Context matters.
New Zealand has become a laughingstock worldwide because of this woman performing the Haka. The Maori should feel fortunate that Western civilisation arrived here. Before Western civilisation, they were living in huts and eating each other.
Looked like the traditional maori response to Seymore issuing a challenge for an unwanted race war. Act voter support for Seymore’s bill has fallen twenty percent year on year.
Explain the concept behind the Rack
The breaking wheel was a good one – they could have given Maori that civilized piece of kit. It was funny how the Europeans took Maori fortifications into WWI and lets not get started on polynesian sails that could tack up wind when all the Brits could do was go around the planet in circles.
Before Christianity the West were no better at what you would describe as civilized behavior although they did build impressive structures (other cultures did that also) and the way that religion has taken over what should be a love based doctrine shows where the conflict is going.
I looked in the SMH comments about this issue and there was overwhelming support for the protest so you need a bigger bubble if you want to find out what others think.
What a fucking knob you are GDFNZ.
This is the sort of trite shit Seymour and Peters would want you to spout.
What were your ancestors doing 200 years ago. I bet they weren’t living the good life you have today.
Probably like mine living in slums and sewers and fucking like rabbits and stealing to survive.
Then they were lucky to get deported to Australia and hence travelled to NZ where by dint of their color all of a sudden became part of the ruling class.
Hence you were privileged and allowed to develop your superior attitude.
Pity you didn’t have the privileged upbringing I had amongst those that were not privileged and were coloured where I was able to live in both worlds and be exposed to both sides of society.
I have a dog I now call Winston Seymour,
It doesn’t know if it’s brown or white, full of shit and doesn’t know when to stop and shut up.
I think you might be getting close to that level.
PS. Just as well the Romans took over Britain when they did. You might still be living in stone huts and painting your face.

So the Maori chiefs who sailed to see Queen Victoria ate each other on the way back . The Victorian English didn’t have sewers and chucked their pots into the street, the Victorian English sent children down the mines as young as 8 years old, the Victorian English sent children up the chimneys to clean their soot out, the Victorian English deported children on their own to Australian penal colonies for stealing food when they were starving. The Victorian English made their money on the back of slaves. The Victorian English upper classes were waited upon by poor girls and boys sent into servitude from poor families . Do we call Victorian England civilized or barbaric
God won’t defend NZ many Maori defended NZ and got what stephen you’re a racist dumb arse swine talking a whole lot of white trash bullshit.
Three sentences GDNZ. Really they’re unsubstantiated assertions. I’ll pick the first one. A laughingstock worldwide? Where’s the evidence for this? Or did you just pull it out of a hat, or just slipped out from your gray matter? FFS GDNZ get a brain that works. Oh… by the way, if you do have the evidence and can show me, I’ll take it all back. No hard feelings.
Worldwide people are supporting this protest be ause of this woman.
The rest of your post is simply racist
Given western civilization brought disease, rape death and seperatism, Maori are very unfortunate.
‘Before Western civilisation, they were living in huts and eating each other.’
Is this the same Western Civilisation that waged world wars, invented nuclear weapons, chemical weapons, built concentration camps, maintained standing armed forces ready to beat any opposition into submission?
Were British settlers here to ‘civilise’ Maori or to exploit their land and resources?
God defend us all from this bullshit.
You sound sick stevie take a chill pill and have a moi.
Love it, the truth triggered you, re and our Nz. I suggest you take one of your own pills.
Watching the video in no way signifies anything other than a curiosity.
