The te Pati Māori self mutilation isn’t just a train wreck, it’s a train crashing into a school bus that explodes into a Pet store for sad kittens.
In all the anger and fury what has most surprised me is how much JT has been blamed for it all.
I appreciate JT has made many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, enemies but I’m not sure what he was supposed to do here.
He discovered an attempted coup and responded with napalm.
He was so angry that after all the hard work to get te Pati Māori into a position where it could have actual influence in the next Government that a schism inside the party wanted to challenge Debbie and Rawiri for the leadership.
Debbie and Rawiri deserved loyalty, not plotting.
Te Pati Māori have been plagued by the same forces we saw inside the Greens when. faction there believed that the leadership weren’t ‘woke enough’.
Inside the Maori Party this has been expressed by a mentality that Debbie and Rawiri weren’t ‘Tikanga enough’.
JT responded to this leadership challenge with fury, that some find his response the greater sin than the attempted coup is genuinely surprising.
Some demand he steps down, which I think would be the worst possible outcome because without his discipline and tactical capacity, te Pati Māori would simply disintegrate.
Regardless of what Māoridom decide, te Pati Māori must get their shit together or we will find ensuring this terrible Government is a one term wonder very difficult.

What did Sun Tzu say about plotting wise informed moves:??
These are interesting.
“No ruler should put troops into the field merely to gratify his
own spleen; no general should fight a battle simply out of pique.
If it is to your advantage, make a forward move; if not, stay where you are.
Anger may in time change to gladness; vexation may be succeeded by content.
But a kingdom that has once been destroyed can never come again
into being; nor can the dead ever be brought back to life.”
― Sun Tzu
“All men can see the tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see
is the strategy out of which victory is evolved.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Focus people. There’s nothing stopping government from mandating new housing on newly created Maori reservation land for every tangata te whenua living in poverty and all those born into it, just no one wants to do it. Every Maori has, by birthright, the mana to claim an hereditary leasehold home on their own land in their own country and not be indebted and exploited by colonialism any longer.
What’s it gonna take, then anti Musk going on a land banking, gift giving, shopping spree before someone else works out how to screw the rental market and bork as many Pakeha middle classes retirement plans as possible all at once?
Tick tock, nuggets.
This ‘birthright’….is it here in the room with us now?
I can’t figure out why Takuta Ferris spends his time on Facebook kicking TPM in the teeth?. He is doing exactly what he accuses others of. He comes across as a whinger.
I’m sure the coalition appreciate his efforts.
