After the disgusting, disgraceful and shameful behaviour by a bunch of disrespectful insolent activists in the House, strong decisive leadership is urgently required.
Perhaps the nearest we have to a Trump is Shane Jones, whose reaction to the insulting behaviour was to imply jail might be a suitable place for them.
I strongly disagree with National’s approach to the Treaty Principles Bill.
Luxon says you can’t sort out a complex problem like Treaty issues at the stroke of a pen: Meaning – National prefers to carry on as now, debating and acting on each issue as it arises. This is a naïve approach and should the other side get in, God forbid, Māori will be given everything they ask for and then some.
Doing nothing solves nothing. It is hard to argue with David Seymour’s comment that National are afraid to address the hard issues. He says that is why he didn’t join the party. National might well find out that many will leave the party for the same reason. They are flying in the face of the majority of their supporters.
National are acting like political newbies. When you are voted into power you are elected TO SERVE THOSE WHO PUT YOU THERE. You don’t decide you know better than those whom you are there to serve.
The latest Taxpayers Union/Curia poll shows National recovering some ground. That ground could likely disappear from under them in the next poll. You ignore your electorate at your peril.
ACT voters obviously support it and so do the majority of NZ First voters. Luxon has said there is NOTHING in the Bill he likes.
The clauses in the bill are simple. Saying there is nothing he likes in it is effectively saying he doesn’t like democracy!
The clown antics in parliament are a consequence of taking such an approach. The only thing it achieves is to embolden these people.
Give them an inch and they'll take a mile.
It makes no difference to these activists what mechanisms are employed because it is inevitable that their divisive rhetoric and tactics will simply continue.
Until we get leadership that does have the fortitude and will to sort Treaty issues out, things will continue to fester.
Giving ground to the racist few is quite the wrong approach. Kiwis want this nonsense to stop and the law to be constructed so we all live as one people.
Pandering to the minority and going against the wishes of the majority is no answer.
Let's hope that the submissions received during the select committee process will leave the committee in no doubt that National's stance does not reflect the views of the majority.
We need a leader who is going to ‘Make New Zealand Great Again’.

Possibly ACT is pushing for this debate now - as further delay will mean the situation is irreversible. Even with this debate, the long term outcome is uncertain - precisely because no party took fair and decisive action in time )i.e. 50 years ago.)
Any country where the leader refuses to give the people an opportunity to express their view by referendum is no longer a true democracy.
I’m old enough to remember wonderful social interaction between Māori, and indeed all races. Now, firstly I feel very sad that those days seem to be gone, but even angry that our previous Prime Ministers/Governments have allowed the situation of near apartheid to come to fruition.
Both Labour and National have got us into this miasma, and none of them have the temerity to get us out of it. Both parties should be placed into the dustbin of history.

1 vote for Shane Jones. I would like to see NZ move away from the 2 main parties. A NZ First Act coalition would be better
Absolutely correct, JC. This is the arrogance of the National Party. They promise what the electorate wants, become government on those promises, then treat the electorate as "deplorables" or "rabble" and ignore the wishes of the voters because they consider themselves to be superior to the voters.
So many National voters will vote ACT at the next election. National will be a minor Coalition Party, if they are that lucky. And you can blame not only Luxon but the Party itself led by the National Party President, Sylvia Wood who hides in the shadows but pulls Luxon's strings. She needs to stand up and explain her policies to the voters. Better still she should resign.
Governments/politicians aren't here to SAVE us but to tiptoe us into ENSLAVEMEMT.
If anyone told me this time last year, a possibly dyed in the wool Labour supporter, that I'd be voting ACT next election, I would have laughed.
Get rid of the Maori seats would be the first, simplest and most effective way to limit the influence of these circus clowns
Luxon is not 'doing nothing'. He is an activist, pushing Maorification and co-governance along. He and Potaka are left hand, right hand. In a nutshell, Luxon is carrying on where Ardern left off.
