Looking good, girl.”
“Well, if it ain’t Willy-J. Wassup bro?
You must be hurtin’ real bad after dat brutal election.”
“Still here though and fixing for a fight.
Heard about the plans to take away all our Maori rights and stuff that we were given for enduring years of colonial oppression?”
“Yeah! Dat’s so out of pocket, man. No way, right? I mean we’re entitled to all that stuff.
Da Treaty says so.”
“Lil’ Dave-See-Right and his new buddies, Busta Luxo and Win-Stum-Lose-Some have formed a new gang and are pushing for a referendum.”
“Dat is so sus! What’s a ref-er-en-dum?”
“It’s like a vote, yeah. Only it’s worse coz it means the new gang will have a man-date to take away all da rights and special deals that only we get coz of our indigenous-ness.
It’s da tyranny of da majority.”
“Yeah! Da… what’s a ty-ran-ny?”
“It’s something that's good when you’ve got da numbers and are in charge but real bad when someone else is in charge, like now.”
“Right! Dat is so racist.
So, what are we going to do about it, bro?”
“I’ll tell you what! We’re going to form a bigger, louder, more scarier gang and then we’re going to threaten them, like the good old days.”
“Just da usual, den?”
“Yeah sis! It worked for our ancestors and it’ll work for us.
Especially wiv da M-S-M on board, right?”
“I like it, bro. Who are you going to get?”
“Well, I was thinking… Rawiri-da-Enforcer….”
“His big hat and glasses are soooo scary, man.”
“Big John-T….”
“Your cuzz from your radio days.”
“And Lil’ Mar-a-MaD, for starters, yeah. So…..
D’ya wanna be in my gang?”
“Sweet as, bro. Then we should march on parliament, do a haka and yeet some shit at those colonial oppressors.”
“We’ll slay it, girl. Dey won’t know what hit ‘em.”
“Come on…. come on!
Come on…. come on!
Come on, come on, come on, I say!”
Talk of a Treaty referendum has prompted a predictable response from a number of our Maori MPs and the Maori elite, threatening civil disobedience and violence if the new coalition government proceeds with it.
Clearly unfamiliar with how a democracy works, they’ve reverted to tribal type and are trying to assert the “tyranny of the Maori minority” to keep the rest of us in line.
This immature and concerning behaviour from elected parliamentary representatives is a real low point in New Zealand’s proud democratic history.
And only goes to show that a future co-governance arrangement would never work when one side oozes entitlement, adopts threats and expects to win all the time.

Exactly.
Yup, any moment a plane will arrive from South Africa with a contingent of ANC Politicians & supporters, here to educate Willie J and "friends" in how to "take down a Country"- starting with the Power Grid, invade farms (they already ram raid businesses - so why not farms next) as well as supermarkets, and any other entity that provides free food to those in need, close public access to any & all beaches - then over fish the area.
have I missed anything please feel free to create a list!
My South African Friends tell me, that New Zealander's need to understand the word Apartheid - but in reverse and with Mr Willie Jackson and his recent vocal comments on TVNZ-Q&A one had "to wonder how close we are, to that stage"?
Derek, as a former geologist, you must surely have found some of these people hiding under rocks?
