New Zealand First deputy leader Shane Jones is calling out Te Pāti Māori for its “racist” rhetoric and says their continual use of “racism”, “genocide” and “Pākehā supremacy” is driving a divide between New Zealanders.
Jones told Radio Waatea host Dale Husband that a new ideology emerged in Te Pāti Māori in the three years when New Zealand First was out of Parliament, and its relentless blood shaming of Māori or others who don’t believe in their philosophies was inciting racial disharmony.
Calling the Government genocidal is inherently a call to violence.
Jones said it is that type of inflammatory commentary from Te Pāti Māori that is driving a bigger wedge between Māori and non-Māori.
“It’s a type of blood shaming and that term mau mau to toto Māori, it means blood traitor and the fact that’s now part of the Māori political lexicon is a deep indictment on the Maori Party. It’s almost as if they’re trying to run some sort of blood classification scheme out of Harry Potter.
He is basically referring to the Death Eaters, who were supporters of Lord Voldemort! I guess he is fighting rhetoric with rhetoric – but at least his is fictional. Those who have been actual victims of genocide probably don;’t appreciate TPM using it to refer to mere policy disagreements over whether the Maori Health Authority should be a standalone agency or within another agency.

This serves to document the race -based 2-tiered society planned under He Puapua.
Every day, this insistent version of an invented history - in every possible area - advances this false narrative.
It's time we put an end to the likes of Waititi and TPM's antics. The Maori seats need to be gone.
