We’re watching tikanga being expressed not as custom or courtesy, but as confrontation, posturing, aggression, bullying, and thinly veiled threats of violence.
Unfortunately, the more someone politically identifies as ‘Māori’, the more they come into alignment with the worst aspects of pre-European Māori culture—violent, tribal, status-obsessed, and confrontational.
Te Pāti Māori represents: [1] not a modern democratic movement, but a regression into atavistic tribalism; [2] cultural grievance and alleged ancestral trauma rather than civic responsibility; [3] treats Parliament not as a place for reasoned debate, but as an ideological war zone; and [4] seeks mana not through service or persuasion, but through aggression, disruption, and threat—just as traditional mana was won through combat and intimidation.
Don’t forget to set your clock back 200 years—this is what tribal rule under He Puapua will look like.
Te Pati Māori MPs are thugs and bullies who understand only the language of a bigger stick. The actions of its MPs have nothing to do with ancestral wisdom or indigenous insight. It’s just brute intimidation wrapped in cultural camouflage.
Parliament is not a Māori institution. It is New Zealand’s institution, and it belongs to all New Zealanders.
In that sense, it is everybody’s marae. And it has its own long-established rules and traditions, drawn from Westminster democracy—not tribal tikanga.
Those who refuse to follow those rules should face real consequences. If they cannot abide by the expectations of parliamentary conduct, they have no place in Parliament.
What we’re witnessing here is not just bad behaviour—it’s a deliberate revolutionary strategy, rooted in Marxist dialectics.
As Mao Zedong once said:
“There is great disorder under heaven, and the situation is excellent.”
Mao Zedong again: “Push out a bayonet. If it strikes flesh, push further. If it strikes iron, pull back and wait for another day.”
These quotes perfectly capture the revolutionary mindset. Disorder is not to be avoided—it is to be manufactured and exploited. That is exactly what Te Pāti Māori is doing.
This follows the classic Marxist dialectical method:
Thesis: A stable system or institution with rules (e.g., parliamentary order).
Antithesis: A deliberate act of disruption, chaos, or confrontation (e.g., walkouts, threats, refusal to follow standing orders, refusal to attend Privileges Committee hearings).
Synthesis: The system is forced to adjust, compromise, or incorporate elements of the disruption in order to ‘restore peace.’
Each time this cycle is run, the radicals gain ground. The goal is never peaceful participation; it is gradual revolutionary transformation.
Each confrontation is designed to manufacture either submission or outraged resistance—both of which are then spun as proof of systemic injustice.
In this case, Te Pāti Māori is aiming for a win-win:
If Parliament fails to act, they gain space to escalate.
If Parliament does act, they cry racism and play the victim, claiming that “Māori are being denied a voice and silenced.”
But we must be clear:
It is not Parliament that will have denied Te Pati Māori a voice. It is the actions of its own MPs that will have done so.
The Privileges Committee has recommended—and Parliament must apply—the strongest possible penalties against Te Pati Māori’s deliberately disruptive and unparliamentary behaviour.
No watering down or backing off. And it must be made abundantly clear that any repeat will result in expulsion for the remainder of the term.
That is not oppression. It is the necessary price of democratic participation in a civilised country.
Te Pāti Māori has stepped outside the bounds of the nation’s lawmaking institution and is provoking a showdown.
There are now only two possible outcomes:
Either the system buckles, and radicalism wins;
Or the system stands firm—and the rule of law prevails.
End of.

Is it possible to have this published on sites other than Breaking Views? It should be a must in daily newspapers! Oh, and a copy to all MP’s, especially Christopher Luxon!
Regarding the 2 outcomes, surely it is high time to ask NZers - by binding referendum - which outcome they want:
a civilized and egalitarian democracy
OR
tribal rule based on a 2 tier structure of ethnic privilege for a minority, chaos and violence.
Why is National blocking this step?
Whey are NZers not insisting on their right to decide?
We are long past the strategy whereby government avoids action by telling the people that civil unrest will result so appeasement is the better path.
New Zealand citizens really must come to grips with our present situation. This is very serious stuff. Most of our politicians are going down the tribal route not just the Maori Party. This was set in motion under Jacinda Ardern but was obviously long into the planning stages before that. It is being progressed under Potaka and Luxon and their band of merry followers. I think some of our politicians are too dumb to understand the implications of this. Many citizens could lose their access to land and sea, have different tax rates, different business advantages, less funding....wait a minute, this is already happening! We urgently need new leadership. We need a stronger speaker in parliament not waffly Gerry. We need our present politicians to forge their own way forward and not listen to the likes of Chris Finlayson.
The author writes, "We’re watching tikanga being expressed not as custom or courtesy, but as confrontation, posturing, aggression, bullying, and thinly veiled threats of violence".
But that is precisely what tikangi always has been. That is what Te Rauparaha, Hongi Hika, and generations of thugs were like. They were hardly into courtesy and civilization. That is why Tuku Morgan, when his underwear expenditure was exposed, just said "I have the mana to do it".
TPM's behaviour is their blueprint for the future of this country. That blueprint is shared by the Greens, many in Labour and the mainstream media.
Peter, it's a win for them either way. Imo they should be removed full stop. End of. Call me racist if you wish, but low life's like the ones you mention deserve and need to be treated as such. Race actually doesn't come into it. Give me a Peter's, Seymour or Jones any day.....
I think the te partly party will be let off with all of them getting just a few days suspension. The MP's know what a circus parliament has become now. There are no standards of dress or behaviour. English no longer has to be used and racism is acceptable if it is against people who look white, or identify with western conservative values. So that horse has already bolted.
In my opinion, te pati will keep doing the war dances in parliament to embarrass the nz people on the world stage. Sadly the current government think appeasement is the answer.
As I have pointed out previously, our nation has become racially divided in a very big way.
It must be stopped or New Zealand will very soon become New Zimbabwe.
It is a matter of URGENCY to end ALL official recognition of race or ethnicity in ALL legislation in New Zealand.
With race/ethnicity no longer having official status, there would be:-
NO more race-based seats
NO race-specific party in Parliament.
NO more race-based wards in local government.
NO more census questions about ethnicity.
NO co-governance.
NO more so called “Treaty” claims of unending victimhood.
NO Waitangi Tribunal !
NO racial apartheid !
History tells us that NO NATION OR SOCIETY CAN SURVIVE while racist activists promote division and entitlement on the basis of race, (i.e. APARTHEID) and the only way to bring this to an end is by CEASING ALL OFFICIAL RECOGNITION OF AND STATUS FOR RACE/ETHNICITY.
And who is going to stop this mess? And how? Clearly most NZers don't care. Or not enough to do anything. Or they believe the woke. The same comments come up time and time again but nobody does anything real and the changes keep rolling out. So apart from the commenters who actually cares? Certainly not the masses. If they don't know either they don't care or it is because nobody has done anything to spread the word - or at least, no body has done enough or been clever enough to get the message out there.
Absoluely correct Janine and Doug . My opinion is that removal of the Maori seats is by standing orders and NZ law a simple majority in Parliament . Under urgency introduce the vote and the Maori seats are gone . NEXT week .
Certainly TPM's disruptive behaviour will continue n on-stop till the 2026 election. Why? Their goal is regime change - to tribal rule as soon as possible.
As I write this, I have on the desk, in front of me, a list of 4 names - all Maori (males), who when they had association with NZ Government did so with Mana. I now look at those Maori who have passed through the NZ Parliament since and I can only see one name that mattered. She was female, and of wise composure, and forceful of voice, when asked to provide an opinion.
Of the others I would equate them as being " ratbags", with no Mana and or a voice that evoked " matters of principle" for all New Zealanders. None. Yet these " non entities" moved away from being in parliament to align with Maori entities and have since become a source of grievance - to not only their own People but also to the rest of The New Zealand population.
And sadly - it is the latter who allow them to prevail.
One can write " screed's" of opinions, both as a lead article, then within posted comments - but (question?) - what does it achieve?
Please keep in mind, that what we see now has been an ongoing process, and we have had a previous National PM who assisted a Maori to go to New York, and sign a Document (UNDRIP) that the UN had created, that then had major impact on New Zealand. Did Key - do anything - NO! We still have obligation to that UN Document.
And my research shows that said document was being considered by the Ardern Govt-The He Puapua plan [2019].
Also I am interested in who " behind the curtains are aiding & abetting " the process of slow creep racism and developing apartheid here in NZ? It is certainly not those within TPM, they just deliver " the message"!
Very well stated, although I had to look up atavistic and dialectic.
Just remember, our parliament voted down democracy, 112 votes to 11.
Does anyone really believe this situation will change.
Once these sad truths are understood, the question becomes : How do I ( and my family) survive? Then panic stations will hit.
The remaining 83% will " service -ie pay for the tribal elite" in the immediate.
Europeans will leave in droves. The " wealthy" can and will - move fast . The sympathizers will find they have been used and discarded. A big donor (China?) may plug some holes in exchange for economic control .....A society in turmoil.
Th bias of the msm - started by Labour and then permitted by National in the Coalition - has hidden this inevitable disaster from NZers. Why? Does National support tribal rule?
A thousand years back [1391] after the Back Plague [read Covid ] the Peasants in UK had had a gutsful of treatment by the "powerful" and took to the streets with pitchforks.. the lot. Seems to me the whole world [UK and Oz included] is now frothing at the mouth by the madness of the Marxists reckoning on power. Young NZers will experience history in action - soon - and it won't be Maori fantasy of their BS fairytales.... brut bullying, intimidation gone maaaad..
yep....... asap.........
From the 'Code of Conduct for Members of Parliament':
"Showing respect for Parliament
We have a duty to show respect for the Speaker and the authority vested in the Office of the Speaker by the Parliament.
We will show respect for other Members. We will behave in a manner that enhances the dignity and decorum of the House. We will debate the issues raised and refrain from personal attacks.
As representatives of the people, we will conduct ourselves in accordance with the provisions and spirit of this Code of Conduct and ensure that our conduct does not bring the integrity of our office or the New Zealand Parliament into disrepute."
Is further discussion necessary?
Hemmingson observes that Parliament "is everybody’s marae. And it has its own long-established rules and traditions". As Richard Prebble points out in today's Herald, breaking protocol at any Maori marae has swift consequences for the perpetrator. TPM know that, yet refuse to apply the same rules of behaviour in "everybody's" marae. That makes them in breach of their fundamental obligation as a Member of Parliament, namely “the duty to serve and, in serving, to act with fidelity and a single-minded regard for the welfare of the community." Those words are set out in Chapter 4 of Parliament"s own website under the heading "Members' Conditions of Service" and are supported by settled case law. Unfortunately Chapter 4 only offers "public opprobrium and, ultimately, electoral retribution" as the sanction for that breach. But the website has plenty to say about contempt in Chapter 59, which is what this is all about. So it seems to me Parliament has no alternative than confirm the maximum penalty recommended by the Privileges Committee. That is the best way the best way to permanently record "public opprobrium" and as Prebble observes, will be a defining issue at the next election that hopefully results in the appropriate "electoral retribution". So let's demand the Coalition now put a stake in the ground and promise to abolish the Maori seats, to get the necessary mandate for action in their next term.
Better still yesterday ...
NO 'tis not.
I think I am witnessing the demise of the (so called) western world that includes Britain, Canada, Australia, and the United States, as well as New Zealand (until our name is decided by a referendum). As one who was a "tradee" for much of my working life, I can smell the unpleasant aroma of communism tainting our clear way ahead into a subtle shaded of pink! Either we are a free democratic nation or we are not. It is time to make up our minds and act upon it!
Kawena, we are indeed witnessing the decline of the Western Civilisation. We've dome well - lasted longer than Romans did. There is plenty of comment from overseas writers/journos... GBNews etc, and all we can do is try to make souls aware... hard when they are deeply in denial/heads in sand/cowards. But..... there are leaders / folk aware - Trump for instance - and Putin!!!! [yes - he's NOT a communist, and stupid as the Western media/military paint him]
In my elder years, I've taken much more interest in our history, and one thing that keeps standing out to me is the inevitable appeasement toward Maori instead of actually standing firm and crushing if necessary any dissent. Politicians have continually, made concessions, accommodations.... given in. The inevitable has happened of course... advantage is taken, more and more please. They ridicule us while slowly bleeding us dry! Now they seek total control. They don't want to do the hard work.... we will still do that for them, but in their way.... but they will have the veto.... over everything! STOP IT.... or else!
We must act now or NZ is doomed.
