Proof of more useful idiots than one could ever imagine.
The Crown has an obligation to protect Maori - it seems mainly from themselves. Another reason why the Maori seats need to be gone.
It really was a choice between one racist and another racist who wasn’t as smart. It’s past time to live up to the mmp promise of abolishing the Māori seats.
It’s a sad indictment of the voters in that electorate
Another radical activist in Parliament... pushing the TPM agenda on the public purse. Beyond outrageous.
Why is NZ having this racist election for Parliamentary seat that shouldn't exist ?
As these seats become empty, abolish them.
Mr Luxon, show us you have the guts to do something positive for everyone, rather than just fumble about with the economy.
I envy the maori seat mps and maori ward councillors.Their task is so simple. They do not ponder and anguish over the greater good or any topics not closely affecting maori. They do not have to familiarise with all the legislation and past developments, just utter slogans which are too blatant and irrational to draw serious scrutiny, and vote as the artful external activists direct. No risk of being voted out for a significantly alternative party. So little effort invested little to lose but the mispllced adoration and the salary. It is certainly easy money.
Only 27.1% voter turn out for the by election and only about 6000 voters have put Kaipara in parliament. Tyranny of the minority?
