The fawning media have presented it as a popular uprising, over-reporting the crowd sizes and not reporting at all who was really running and funding the show.
The Taxpayers Union (TPU) claims it has confirmed that the leader of the protest, Eru Kapa-Kingi, is on the Parliamentary payroll as a full-time, taxpayer-funded staffer of the Maori Party.
TPU says the party is using Parliamentary resourcing to keep it secret. “If this was a Ministerial staffer, the activity would be covered by the Official Information Act.”
So, not so much a ‘grassroots movement’ as a party-political stunt, funded by us!
