Oh sweet Christ – what is this new madness now?
Doc went rogue again on instagram last night and quadruples down on Māori only sectarianism, and today Toitū Te Tiriti have gone rogue on Te Parti Māori’s roguishness…
Hīkoi Mō Te Tiriti leader calls out Te Pāti Māori ‘dictatorship model’
…ARE THE ALL SECRETLY WORKING FOR ACT?
This country needs Maoridom to stand and show leadership, somehow they’ve managed to implode under the narcism of tiny difference.
Doc is still posting ‘no crackers allowed’ rhetoric and Toitū Te Tiriti have decided to air all their dirty laundry at the Marae!
This is a god damned tragedy because oil this very day, the allegations of corruption against te Parti Māori were found to be the exact bullshit TDB told you they were…
Police find ‘insufficient evidence’ to prove corruption at Manurewa Marae
…that’s right.
NO EVIDENCE OF CORRUPTION .
Instead of celebrating that, they are dealing with Doc going rogue (again) and now Toitū Te Tiriti is twisting the knife.
Just as they did with their by-election win, they have managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory!!!!
WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS??
The enemy isn’t each other, the enemy is ACT, National and NZF, but right now, Doc and Toitū Te Tiriti are handing Mike Hosking, Don Brash, David Seymour, Sean Plunkett and Heather Du Plissie Allan all the culture war ammunition they need to drive voters into the arms of the Right!
STOP HELPING THE RIGHT WIN!
Debbie and Rawiri are the leaders, they must be allowed to lead without Doc undermining them and without Toitū Te Tiriti airing all the dirty laundry.
Comrades – there is more common ground between us than petty micro aggression point scoring.
Te Parti Māori have some of the best economic policy of all the Political Party’s, they have so much to contribute to New Zealand.
This is beneath the mana of the moment.
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.
Eru Kapa Kingi is an ideologue he believes he Jesus to the Maori movement and venerates his tupuna who were responsible for selling out Maori like Hongi Hika who protected missionaries at the cost of his own people so he could access to European technologies like metal & Muskets. The guy should of Kanohi ki te Kanohi the Maori way not go to the MSM that notorious for demonizing Maori
Stephen L you see things clearly, in a blinding light it seems – the prism moves in the light and another look shows a slightly different scene. Or you are looking at a kaleidoscope but have stuck down the pieces. For the sake of true appreciation you need to not just jump straight to total negative, downplaying important features that show in a softer light.
Theycwill not vote .T P M are in damage control but family and tribal divisions to mend it will be hard to overcome .
The Māori world exists largely independently of the understanding and experience of most Pākehā and Manuhiri. Pākehā wonder–how do they get 10,000 people to turn up to an event and cater for them all? Well it is because of capacity building and a Māori economy that middle NZ and all the racists choose to ignore.
This current situation is an extension of an age old battle within the Māori politicised movement, Māori Nationalists vs Māori with at least a glimmer, or more, of class left understanding and commitment to a broader unity in action with non Māori.
Are non Māori the main enemy? or the capitalist class as per the reality of the working class? This struggle appears and dies down and reappears, in the 80s there were two slogans expressing this–“Honour the Treaty” and “The Treaty is a Fraud”. Though with the demographic of younger articulate Māori now being in the majority a new phase is obviously upon us.
Debbie knows the reality of the colonial Parliament but sees a lot useful in it for her Party and people. Whether Doc is a loose cannon or there is a whole underlying factional move inside TPM as maybe indicated by Doc’s MP mum Mariameno being demoted from Whip, we shall see. Most parties conduct their struggles behind closed doors–TPM have gone the public route!
Couldn’t agree more TM
Error: Mariameno’s son is obviously NOT Doc, but Hikoi leader Eru Kapa-Kingi, my mistake.
The “Maori economy” is built on money and assets to them by taxpayers, and then taxed at a lower rate if at all.
I don’t think you can make forthright statements like that kcco. It’s not helpful starting on money and assets eg land – politics is more than that. And if you can’t say anything positive don’t look round for negative things from under the carpet.
Some legal points that may have applied to Maori’s and our government’s situation.

Growing demands by tribal bodies has sparked a furious debate on the internet.
Some believe no amount of compensation could atone for the alleged misdeeds about wicked white coloniser forebears, while others believe the Treaty of Waitangi has been twisted and hijacked for wealth and political power.
Dropkicks are gonna dropkick.
Interesting game of force back they got going on there.
So not all Maori think the same and hold a range of opinions like any other group?
Who would have thought?
Greens and TPM are both involved with power struggles and policy division. They both have some interesting ideas for running the country but it is easy to have high ambition when in opposition less easy to put it into action when in power especially when you do not have an united party.
