The e-mail sent out by the TPM leadership alleges the following:
1. Toitū Te Tiriti was set up by Te Pāti Māori to build support for TPM. It was not independent.
2. Mr. Kapa-Kingi assaulted two security personnel in Parliament in 2024 and was trespassed for it
3. He had a contract with his mother for $120,000 a year, which was terminated for serious misconduct. He then became a contractor through a company to get around this.
4. Mariameno Kapa-Kingi was dumped as Whip to free her up to campaign for Te Tai Tokelau (yeah right!)
5. Mariameno Kapa-Kingi allegedly met with Te Tai Tokerau Iwi Leaders wanting their support to topple the Leadership
6. Mariameno Kapa-Kingi was on track to overspend her budget by $133,000
The War of the Rōhi is just warming up!

Credit where it’s due: David Farrar did what several major newsrooms wouldn’t — he published the guts of Te Pāti Māori’s late-night email. Farrar’s gave the public the raw claims that mainstream media had studiously avoided earlier in the day.
Adam Pearse at the Herald kickstarted the day and by early afternoon was quoting some of the guard’s account, and laid out the timeline and the financial red flags.
By contrast, Stuff’s trio — Glenn McConnell, Lloyd Burr, and Chris Marriner — turned a bombshell into an HR memo. Their piece recited the basics but shied away from the political mechanics: no paper-trail hierarchy, no sense of how a six-figure contract and a red-flag letter sat alongside claims of intimidation. It read like damage control, not investigation. Only in the early afternoon did Stuff, perhaps realising the herald had got a big jump on them, begin to play catch up.
RNZ, the self-styled bastion of Māori reporting, arrived late and cautious. Their copy was tidy but anaemic — careful framing, few questions about source or motive, and an avoidance of the ugly specifics that matter: the guard’s description of verbal threats (“I will f***ing knock you out”) and racist taunts. In effect, a foul-mouthed haka staged to intimidate staff.
By the time broadcasters filed, Farrar’s summary had already set the briefing: this is a story about power, intimidation, and whether taxpayer resources were used to reward political loyalty. Transparency into a Māori Party power struggle, it seems, arrived almost by accident — via a rolling maul between two factions.

All this is just ordinary TPM behaviour. The only difference is this time the media are finally reporting it. But why wasn't it reported when the incident at Parliament happened.
Oil and water, Maori and money.
This is te ao Maori in a nutshell. Please, show everyone more of it so they can witness how morally bankrupt it is. Then let them vote accordingly to send these venal, corrupt, ego-driven face painting idiots to oblivion.
