In terms of Waikato-Tainui, taking the government to court over language is nothing more than a criminal waste of judicial time and resources. I have researched the latest figures. Of the 60,000 that belong to Waikato-Tainui, one third, 20,000, speak the language fluently. That means Mr Morgan is prepared to tie the court up while he spends time representing only a few. The court should reject it.
Mr Morgan has no time for this government. Rather than work with it, he is going to honour his pre-election pledge to do his best to destabilise it or preferably destroy it. Primarily standing in his way are not the descendants of the white man, but three of his own: namely Winston Peters, Shane Jones and David Seymour. These three carry more weight and mana than he does. Also in his way are the polls showing his mates are dead ducks in the water.
It is my belief that the government will not have to abide by any decision the court may bring down. It’s a good bet Messers Peters, Jones and Seymour will give it very little consideration. This is grandstanding on behalf of Mr Morgan: he says the potential destruction of the language is detrimental to the health and wellbeing of his people. Have you ever heard such arrant nonsense in your life? I’d be more inclined to worry about medical risks when it comes to health and wellbeing.
These individuals have little comprehension of the mood of the country or why the current government was voted in, and I doubt they care. These types are nothing more than an albatross around the neck of New Zealand. Not that that matters to Mr Morgan: he just wants to keep justifying his relevancy. There are plenty of other more important issues Mr Morgan could be dealing with in respect of his people.
Crime, family violence and health matters… those statistics became worse under his pals on the left. Now he has a government who could make a difference, but he doesn’t want to know. It’s all the fault of colonialism: having someone else to blame is very convenient as it absolves him of his responsibility. These problems are not the result of colonialism: they’re because of a failure by those who could do something doing nothing. And that includes Mr Morgan.
Money from the Maori economy could be set aside to deal with these problems; here’s an idea: work out what would have been paid collectively in company tax and use that.
Memo to Morgan, Jackson, Tamihere, Waititi, Ngawera-Packer, Mahuta, the King, the rest of the Labour and Maori Party caucuses and anyone else with influence in Maoridom: It’s time to take ownership of your problems. The government can’t do it all, but it is in a position to help if you would like to engage with it rather than, as the Maori Party does, simply oppose, oppose, oppose. That represents a whole fat nothing when it comes to getting any help that is needed.
As Winston has tried to explain: help is made on the basis of need, not race, hence the recent half a million dollars given specifically for Maori in the health area. Any thanks for that? None, the same as the amount of help they give to Maori. Again, from Winston to the Maori Party in Parliament – “What have you ever done for Maori? You could write it on the back of a stamp with a carbon pencil and there’d still be room left over. That’s what you’ve done.”
In reality, that sort of truth is supposed to hurt, but they thought it was funny. They have a complete lack of self-consciousness.
The Treaty was signed with the Crown and if they say that is not the case then it ceases to exist. After a trip to this country in 1901, the Duke of York, later to become King George V, in a speech on his return to England described the Maori people as, “once a brave and resolute foe, now peaceful and devoted subjects of the King”. Are they now describing themselves once again as a resolute foe?
There is a simple lesson to be learned here: they cannot have it both ways. If, as happened, they only recognised the King to collect their highly inflated weekly salary, then they are being disingenuous hypocrites. If these types want to be taken seriously by the public, they are going quite the wrong way about it. These people are in a position of high office and need to start giving it the respect it deserves. As of now most people would regard them as a dangerous joke.
It is obvious the Maori activists are going all out to cause mayhem and try to unseat this government. The recent hui at Ngaruawahia was proof of that. Was there anything discussed about working with the government on issues to improve their people’s lives? Unless the media chose not to report it, the answer is no. It appears that is because they regard the government as a bunch of ‘white supremacists’, while the King says Maori are all elites. Honestly, if he wants to drive Maori to a better place, he needs to change gears.
Their strategy of deliberately trying to undermine the government rather than engage won’t work – it will have the opposite effect, as the Democrats are finding out with Trump. So it will be with the government, as is evidenced by the latest Curia poll. How the coalition, particularly the National Party, handles it will be interesting, even revealing.
Mr Morgan and his henchmen need to realise there are bogies to worry about, namely Winston, Shane and David, with fire hoses at the ready. Once they come into play, Mr Morgan is likely to see his grandiose schemes disappear in a puff of smoke. Mr Morgan wants the High Court, but he could very well get the high jump.

These people need a good dose of reality. First it was post colonial trauma they all suffered from, then terrorist genocide as well . And now Ms Ngarewa Packer tells us they all live under the tyranny of white supremacists.
Maori men and woman got the right to vote at the same time as other New Zealanders. African Americans were still fighting for the vote with the passage of the Voters Registration Act in the USA in 1965 ! That means that Maori men got the right to vote about 95 years before their African American counterparts And Maori woman 73 years earlier than their African
American counterparts.
And likewise the first African American Cabinet Minister in the USA was appointed in 1968, some 59 years after Sir Apirana Ngata was appointed to Cabinet in New Zealand in 1909 !
Perhaps they should all read a little relevant history or take a trip to many of the numerous non or marginally democratic states in Africa or the Middle East.
Then they might realise why so many of us have little but disdain for their views and demands
One need to research the Political background of Tukoroirangi Morgan, especially 'His' time as Politician, if I recall, with The National Party.
It was during this time he " was award the Title - Mr $90.oo underpants", I am sure someone will add the comment - why.
When Tukoroirangi became "an advisor" to the current Maori King/ Waikato-Tainui, one wonders " what conversations he had with the King, that had an influencing ear bending approach". As stated in this article, He also has amiable 'friends' with Jackson & Tamihere, both former MP's and now includes the Te Parti Maori Caucus - all of them!
I listen to those who came to New Zealand, from South Africa, their rational for leaving their Home Country, was the rise of the African National Council (ANC) - for which Nelson Mandela was associated with, prior to and after His release from incarceration in Prison.
If anyone is 'not aware', the ANC have not done much to move the Country forward, and recent reports show that South Africa is in major decline, due to the Political masters inability to "manage". These are people who wanted the " White Govt out".
These former residence of South Africa (and have stated this to other New Zealander's) that from 2017 and even of recent times, that they see parallels here, that they experienced in South Africa - and we should take heed, because should Maoridom "gain traction on their demands", then we " could see reparation (Utu) against the 'white' population. We have already seen Maoridom copy the American Black Live Matter (BLM) and their protest mantra. And I quote a statement from that time in the USA - " there is no such thing as a peaceful protest".
I would also ask - "What have Maori been deigned", in NZ?
Yes, some very pertinent comments but just a couple of corrections, if I may?
I'm assuming the half a million you speak of is in fact the FIFTY MILLION Minister Reti allocated in December to lift Maori immunisation rates? So more "for Maori by Maori" but, I just hope that a close eye is kept on how that money is spent - remembering that the Waipareira Trust (John Tamihere's lot) took $6M of the $16.8M allocated to them in 2022 for management costs. No small wonder JT could afford to pay the lion's share of that amount for a waterfront pad in Auckland that same year.
And while I didn't see or hear Winston's comment, I think the "pencil" he would have referred to would have been a "carpenter's pencil" - the very thick durable kind - suggesting diddlysquat could be written on the back of a postage stamp, being precisely what these bods have done for those they claim to represent. But fill their own pockets - OH, YEAH!
All this action when there's some potential grievance (aka money) to be had, but come getting their kids to school, feeding them school lunches, getting them to the Dr, or even just filling out their Census forms - Nah, we'd sooner blame someone else and put our hands out to the taxpayer - and Maori Corporations that ain't!
How do you say ‘silk underpants’ in Maori? Did Maori have either one or both of silk/underpants pre colonisation?
What genetic/cultural/personal relationship does the name Morgan have with Tuku? I suggest he stops using it. Less awkward for him and the real Morgans.
To the Author of the Comment that includes the statement - "How do you say silk underpants...", the following thought crossed my mind.
We have been 'told' that for many Years that the Males of Scotland, when wearing the Kilts, of Their Clan, and that the legend was that when a Kilt was worn, "there was na underwear worn underneath"!
Now Maori Males, for our Historical Times, have worn their Piupiu (grass skirt), as part of their dress, but did they 'wear any underwear underneath'.
So it would interesting to know?? - if Tukoroirangi Morgan, when (if) he wears his Piupiu, does he "wear $90.00 undies underneath"?? - silk or otherwise!
Yep, but what should be more worrying to the left is the backlash against them that even though the left is saying it's here it isn't.....the backlash is growing and growing fast, due to their disgraceful behaviors and racist views. They are in for an almighty wake up and it's building rapidly.
A sad but factual example of how endless appeasement ends in failure.
Today Maori " injustices" have become a booming grievance industry which is seriously threatening NZ's status as a First World nation and its democracy .
Unless NZers finally understand the gravity of this situation and stand together, NZ's future is bleak.
Apart from the Election , is there really a backlash coming? Or are people preparing do a little intermittent grumble but then just ignore the noise get on with their lives? Is the Maori thing really at peak noise or is the noise just disguise for insidious creep?
