Shane Jones and Winston Peters shameful attack on Migrant MPs really needs punishing by Parliament
If we are going to take Māori MPs doing a Haka to the privileges committee, what the Christ should we do to Shane and Winston for their astounding racism against migrants Kiwis in Parliament last night…
NZ First refuses to back down over ‘xenophobic’ comments
New Zealand First Ministers are refusing to back down from comments they made towards immigrant MPs in the House this week.
MPs were debating the Prime Minister’s statement on Tuesday when Shane Jones yelled “send the Mexicans home” across the floor.
Winston Peters then told Green MPs Lawrence Xu-Nan and Francisco Hernandez to “show some gratitude” for being in New Zealand.
The Green Party has now written to the Prime Minister and the Speaker of the House asking they take action, saying the comments are “outwardly racist and xenophobic”.
“[The Prime Minister] needs to show leadership and be really clear that this sort of behaviour is unacceptable because it emboldens people outside of these four walls who wish to cause harm on our migrant communities and wish to delegitimise migrant communities’ participation in our democracy,” Mexico-born Green MP Ricardo Menéndez March said.
Neither Minister is backing down.
In a text to RNZ, Jones called the Greens “flakes” and said the party’s MPs liked to dish it out but couldn’t handle the return fire.
…WTF?
Mexican Trump jokes?
Are you fucking kidding me?
Were they drunk?
To attack Green Party migrant Kiwis in the way Shane and Winston did is really fucking deplorable.
We all get Winston and Shane are arseholes, but there’s just no way they can be allowed to say this hateful shit towards Migrant Kiwis!
Look, is Ricardo Menéndez March a grumpy woke bitch?
Sure is…
…but he’s a Kiwi eh?
He is a Migrant New Zealander.
He is one of us, and he also does a very good job of highlighting the cruelty of welfare policy while standing up for the rights of migrant workers as well!
He is not only one of us, he is a very excellent one of us!
To pretend that he is somehow less of a Kiwi because he’s a migrant is the very mindset that allows for so much migrant exploitation in this country.
The manner in which Ricardo, Lawrence Xu-Nan and Francisco Hernandez were attacked by Winston and Shane demands Parliament step in and take them both to the privileges committee because if we are going to send Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, Rawiri Waititi, Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke and Peeni Henare to privileges committee for doing a Haka, then surely we have to send Shane and Winston there for what was a totally unprovoked hateful attack on their supposed ‘New Zealandness’ as migrants.
This was really unhinged shit here and it’s not a political point scoring exercise, Winston and Jones were really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, out of line here.
They need to apologise and withdraw or be taken to privileges committee because this wilfully hateful stuff isn’t on.
We are Kiwis, not Americans! This kind of politics is ugly and imported which is ironic because that’s what Matua Winston accused the Green MPs of!
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.
Given you’re German you have no right to comment on this site Griselda!
By Winston’s skewed (stewed?) rhetoric, pākehā should have to be thankful for being here too then!
This was an appalling little tirade that new gens will totally get and keep supporting the Greens. Send Mexicans home–pathetic. Just when there is a chance of playing a positive role in lining up Baldrick and Atlas Dave, Winston reverts to type–the old soak Uncle with a bad attitude.
We need to step back from the nationalist exclusive bullshit promulgated by the Winston First (NZF) rednecks – Hitler would be proud. I do find it ironic that the 2 Winston First politicians involved in this furore conveniently allude to their Maori ancestry when it suits them (Mexican foreigners trying to tell us who have been here for 1000 years what to do in our ‘own’ country).
Jones has tried to justify his and Winston’s deplorable behaviour due to “foreign” ideas of the 3 targeted. The “foreign” idea was revealed as the prevailing climate science agreed by anyone who actually understands the science – opponents are irrational skeptics like Trump and those of his ilk. Clearly Winston and Jones are trying to position themselves (in typical personality politics) in alignment with the truly flaky opposition to the accepted science that we can see playing out in our increasingly extreme and unpredictable weather.
Zelda, by your logic, taken to the nth degree, Maori only should run the country and be able to vote and establish laws in this country. Okay, clearly overkill, but Birthright should NOT be the only consideration for being a lawmaker. Remember, even though the 3 politicians being attacked for something outside their control, don’t make up policy by themselves, they are part of a democratic party and represent the party rather than themselves … although given the way Winston and Jones behave, you need to wonder how much of their reactionary activities reflect their parties position (nobody within Winston First would dare say anything against their leaders) or shit they just make up on the fly.
NZ First (aka Winston who is coming to the end of his DPM) are setting themselves up for the next election. He saw Trump’s big – and successful – con-game and he’s already, with help from his blow-hard mate, looking to be Trump II, NZ-style.
Got to give him marks for his political stamina but gallons of whisky and millions of smokes have got to take their toll sometime – and his aging organs won’t help.
MNZGA doesn’t have the same ring to it, Winnie. Give it up while you can!
Poor Zelda she must lead a very lonely life in her right wing troll world in cyber space.
‘Only those born in New Zealand should be allowed to serve as members of parliament! Immigrants, no matter how long they’ve lived here, must be barred from holding these crucial positions.’
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ZELDA!
So all you Pakeha bastards piss off!
Think you will find that most of us ‘Pakeha bastards’ were born here.
And many of us have intermarried with Maori over the past 160 years that we’ve been here. We may even have more Maori blood then some of those that call us “pakeha”
They may well have but through their heritage they haven’t James. That is lost on you and Bobby the first troll with his racist comments against the Maori party.
‘Only those born in New Zealand should be allowed to serve as members of parliament! Immigrants, no matter how long they’ve lived here, must be barred from holding these crucial positions.’
Good for you Zelda!
While we are at it- some other annoying things.
Fucking idiots telling us what a great bloke Trump is and why God personally selected him as U.S. president. Why should we have to put up with morons like that?
People who defend Zionist murderers by pulling stuff out of their arseholes about how Palestinians threaten world peace so it is all right to kill the adults and rape their children. Why kind of sick pervert does that?
People whose parents had to go to the very last letter of the alphabet before they could select a weird name for their whelp.
Don’t these folks make you sick Zelda?
Remember that the New-Xenphobia-Land-First MPs, Winston and Shane are also descended from migrants, if you believe in the DNA reseach that polynesians originated from Taiwan. Those two MP’s are pretty old to still be acting like they are in kindergarten.
But since New-Xenophobia-Land-First has historically been voted adios after one term, maybe they want to go out with a hiss and a racist roar, knowing Acts treaty principles debate is eating into their redneck support, so attacking migrants is the kneejerk response. The lower their polling goes, the more crap you’ll hear. It’s hypocritical after bad hombre Winstons criticism of the psna Isrealli soldier hotline, he said could stir up racism, and in the next breath stirring up racism with his mexican comments. Two legs good, for legs bad, Isrealli genocide soldiers good, mexicans bad…

Yes, im right whose often wrong and the Maori party members got reprimanded but will our cowardly PM say or do anything to shame and stone, I doubt it he has no balls
Thinks – no-one over 50 should be able to stand for Parliament and no-one over 60 should remain in office. Then the MPs involved in government will be more aware of conditions and the effect of their past and present policies.
People in power need to show some responsibility in their words and actions. There is absolutely no excuse for this behavior. If these so called leaders call people names and shout out racist ideology how can they set an example. These are supposedly grown men with responsibility’s for government actions but their behavior is of school yard infantile’s. As for people agreeing with these behaviors you are no better and you are showing yourselves as racist in aiding and abetting these ideals that have no place in our country.
