When ACT aren’t presenting dangerous race war inducing legislation and crying about Hakas, they are demanding poor people get kicked off buses and attacking Mihi Forbes

1. So its ok for ACT to use the same government funded broardcaster to spread thier massage of race hate yet a paid reporter is not allowed to do her job and report .

   1. By which yardstick is Act spreading hate. I would have though the liberal educated university scholars would enjoy debating the bill, and thrashing out the treaty principles. This should be discussed and debated in universities and public centres. Let’s have some open discussions and debates, after all we are discussing the future direction of Aoteroa NZ if we are OK for 16 year Olds to vote, then let them get involved to discuss how they see the future of NZ.

      1. The bill has been brought forward by a party that garnered just 7 % of the votes, meaning 93% don’t want this bill. However, should this pass the second reading then at least there is a little more evidence for a debate on the subject.
         16 year olds can’t vote and no bill has been bought forward for that to happen so yours is a moot argument.
         Many opposition bills are voted down at first reading. Should they have the same courtesy as the treaty bill and all be debated on?
         Seymours bill is a Clayton’s bill and will not go any further but at the huge expense of the tax payers. Are you happy to waste the millions of dollars that could go elsewhere simply because of a coalition agreement?

2. He’s scared of Mihingarangi Forbes. She ran rings round him on Waitangi Day. Almost made him stop talking because he couldn’t think of a suitable reply.
   No surprise they’d attack her.
   He’ll be using tax-payer money to foment division and confusion. Can’t blame people for disagreeing.
   And it seems the most knowledgeable people in NZ are disagreeing.

   NZ’s version of the magas will be lapping this up. They LOVE seeing someone else cop it.
   They love others being punished.
   Luxon had better get to Wellington smartly and knock all this on the head or he’ll find he has just what Jenny Shipley predicted on his hands, and there goes his knighthood.
   A PM cannot let their country descend into utter chaos and still expect to be knighted.

3. What are the protocols in Parliament?

   1. White ones only

      1. Those racist whites.

4. What really frightens ACT and Jenny Shipley is unity among their opponents.
   One of the most refreshing things about the present Hikoi is the number of Pakeha and non-Maori showing solidarity with the marchers.
   The snarling, vicious, reaction I remember so well from the 1970s, the 1980s and early 2000s is fading away as more people realise the Maori struggle to retain Tino Rangatiratanga is for us all.

   Jenny Shipley believes there could be a civil war? Is this the same woman who became Prime Minister through a political coup and lost an election before becoming a member of the board of a company committing fraud? ( Mind you, she had no idea it was doing so because she just showed up for board meetings and pocketed her salary).

   I keep hoping one day Dame Jenny will get her issue of prison overalls.

5. Mihingarangi Forbes is a journalist. She goes to where the news stories are. The Hikoi is the News story. ’nuff said.

   1. Da Zhong Tui. The only voice of reason in the above IMHO. As long as Forbes is there for the news, fine. If she is there for other reasons that’s not fine. Most New Zealanders can work out her bias. RNZ is red so no one ACT cares about will be listening to the RNZ news red rag. I find RNZ Concert far preferable to the other RNZ lot. All music and no odious opinions.

      1. I replaced Forbes with the name Hosking and his bias and Newstalk ZB is blue, just to add a bit of balance.

6. If Act are hoping to inflame outrage and hatred, it’s working. Today, in a difference of opinion over who had right of way in a busy carpark, my wife got called a “fucking black n#gg#r”. The war is just beginning.

7. See more talks about equality for all, but Māori have never had equality or equity and now seemore says we will all be equal and have equality, fucken bullshit. And the crown has been responsible for inequalities they have perpetuated inequalities with their racist policies and the delivery of racist services that have not benefitted us but have instead set about disenfranchising us and reducing us to second class citizenship in our own country.

8. David Seymour is the worst human being

   1. He’s not a human being. He is a hologram.

9. While I share your contempt for the act party I generally would not get annoyed at people causing trouble being removed from the bus. I guess that the circumstances involved should be considered as well though.

10. I am so proud of Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke for her initiative in Parliament. When she commenced the haka did you all notice Gerry Brownlee’s facial reaction. Just typical of his attitude and that of Seymour and co.

    There is talk about referring Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke to the privileges committee. Perhaps it should be re-named the white privileges committee.

    It is ironic that Brownlee and his cronies talk about the haka disrupting the business of the house, but surely the divisive, ugly bill that Seymour is wanting to introduce into Parliament and its first reading was in effect also disrupting the house as it is the entire country.

11. An unstoppable ideological narrative: decolonisation and indigenisation.

    Not my words exactly. But surely on the mark. You’d have to be deaf, blind or simply out of touch not to notice. Not only here but in many other parts of the globe where colonial / imperial privilege undermined indigenous cultures. History no longer lies. And as we watch history is in the making.

12. Give Maori complete control of the country under the leadership of Willie.Scrap the white man’s parliament.

    1. Daniel what a great idea!
