For a start, their views on what they call the harshness of the censure confirm their view: they don’t believe in the maxim that the punishment should fit the crime. It’s easy to see why the Greens want to defund or severely restrict the role of the police and think society would be better off without prisons. Labour has been historically soft on criminal behaviour and has funded gangs in the past.
Predictably, the debate became all about race, led by the Māori Party and the left showed in this debate that they are totally in bed with the racist minority on their side of the House.
The Māori Party will be licking their lips at this scenario because they know that the tail will easily be able to wag the dog. This is a frightening prospect for us as racist legislation, debate and control will be the order of the day. This country risks becoming like apartheid South Africa. Racism would become rife, caused not by the likes of Winston Peters and Shane Jones who are prepared to take the Māori Party on, but by the left as a whole led by Māori in all three parties.
This would be a nightmare for the majority of Kiwis who would be powerless to take action and only be able to watch from the sidelines. What Ardern put us through with the Covid debacle she created will pale into insignificance with what would confront us in this scenario. The country will be wrecked in so many ways it would take decades to recover.
This debate proves once and for all that a referendum is needed to put the issues of race to bed to ensure one people and one law for all. It was noticeable that the prime minister absented himself from the House during the debate. That is completely unacceptable and leaves a suspicious and nasty taste in the mouth. No matter his other commitments, he should have been there and spoken in the debate.

Prime Minister Luxon is noticeably absent from any potentially contentious debate where race might be an issue - Treaty Principles, Privileges Ctee, Regulatory Stds. Where a strong voice of calm leadership should be there’s nothing but thin air.
"The worst thing any of us could do is to vote for any of the three parties on the left."
Unfortunately there are now four parties "on the left".
and one can only hope that all four are "left behind" but this one thinks that indoctrination and apathy will ensure they are not!
Did any National MPs take part in the debate? I recall the ACT and NZF speeches but none from National, except of course Judith Collins earlier on. This is what voters should be focused on. The MPs and parties on the right who consider the topic of order, democracy and unity of utmost importance, spoke. I think whatever Luxons reasons for not being present they were pretty flimsy compared with this opportunity to state clearly and unequivocally: Maori did cede sovereignty to the Crown, we are all New Zealanders and Parliament is to be respected".
Anon 9.10 - have you noticed that Hosking, Kerry, Heather et al are barred from asking Luxon any "difficult " questions ?
ZB almost get it right except their owners hold back for whatever reasons - the possibility that they would be sued to have their PIJF money recalled by the government ?
Anon 2:27 - Yes, agree. Mike got a bit bolshy with Luxon on his first show back from summer hols at the start of this year. However it looked very much like the Hosk got told to pull his head in. As far as I know Mike has kept his frustrations under wraps ever since. And, of course, Luxon doesn’t accept invitations to engage with potentially more challenging interviewers. This govt may not have a PIJF but the narrative is still controlled. Would love to see better but I guess that’s just politics in today’s world…
