Mr Luxon, your party sits at 29 per cent in the polls. Your actions, seemingly related to your personal feelings, on matters pertaining to specifically the ‘Māorification’ of legislation are becoming increasingly untenable. You are exhibiting political traits similar to Jacinda Ardern, now the most disliked politician in recent history. You appear to be following in her footsteps.
We did not elect you to progress legislation based on what you want: we voted you in to progress what we want. That means passing legislation reflecting the fact we are one people living in a country that goes by its proper name of NEW ZEALAND, not the Aotearoa nonsense we have constantly shoved down our throats. We voted you in to unite the country as you said you would.
The reality is we are more divided than ever. On matters of race, you and Minister Potaka are completely out of step with the majority of voters. Fortunately for you, we won’t vote for the imbecilic ‘other side’, but we do have options on your/our side. At this point in time, your coalition partners are looking more attractive than ticking National at the ballot box.
It is somewhat ironic to me that you talk about economic growth on the one hand and then introduce legislation that, if passed, gives the radical Māori minority a multitude of options and reasons to stop anything and everything that might contribute to that growth. It would not surprise me if these people appeared at airports or on wharves giving permission regarding what we can or can’t export.
Mr Luxon, we are fed up to the back teeth with this constant pandering to a particular minority group of radicals. We had no idea this was your intention and it was not what you campaigned on – quite the opposite in fact. We feel let down and betrayed. With regard to the next election we are now in a situation of ‘once bitten, twice shy’. You may not realise it, but the tide is going out on National.
Politics is supposed to be about trust. The word trust nowadays has an element of sick humour about it, not only here but in many countries around the world. Politicians’ words these days are rarely kept, bar one or two – namely Trump and Italian Prime Minister Meloni – and their popularity is increasing while yours is going the other way.
Important as the economy is, and I believe you will succeed in turning it around, it is not the only matter of concern. In terms of matters pertaining to race, what we see is not a bringing together but rather an undue haste to become South Africa on steroids. We did not vote for this and we will not accept it. It is only thanks to the due diligence of the Taxpayers’ Union that we get to know the half of what is going on behind our backs.
Where is the transparency? What you are doing on race issues is not ‘government by the people for the people’: it’s government for a particular racial minority and to hell with everyone else, including, most notably, your own voter base. You need to think again. We are not going to buy into blatant racist legislation of any sort.
In the latest One News Poll, your approval rating is at 38 per cent, down 14 per cent from the last poll. Your reaction was, “It’s not really about me. It’s about me making sure I lead a team that does the job for New Zealanders.” On matters of race, Mr Luxon, I think you have certainly made it about you. I’d be surprised if you have the backing of your entire caucus on these matters. If so, the party is in dire straits.
I am suspicious of Minister Potaka’s real intentions on matters of race. I read some comments from him recently that by 2040, X number of us would be speaking Māori. Here’s the thing Mr Luxon – WE DON’T CARE!! What we care about is the fact that the Māori seats are still there enabling the radicals to spew their hatred all over the place, including parliament. On what basis do you find this acceptable? The majority don’t and they want the seats gone. Do that – and watch your popularity skyrocket. You won’t do that, though, because you prefer the pandering option.
This has now reached the point where the Māori Wars are once again upon us, but this time within the Māori Party. These people, who seemingly can’t run their own affairs, would have us believe they could participate in running the country or preferably taking it over. That’s a joke... It is unfathomable to me why you wish to tolerate a bunch of dishonourable incompetents participating in the highest office of the land.
Having them there does not serve democracy, as that is something they don’t believe in. By allowing their nonsense and letting them get away with their disgraceful behaviour you are making yourself look weak and it is doing you and National harm. Your tolerance of these individuals is wearing thin with those of us in voter land.
We, the voters, strongly disagree with your strategy. In the words of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher we say, ‘No, No, No.’ You might want to turn, but we are not for turning. Neither, it would seem, are your coalition partners. As a result they present a voting option that your actions are making more attractive by the day. The polls are starting to show this to be the case.

Amen to all of that!
Yes, it's ASTOUNDING how Luxon seems to be able to ride roughshod over National supporters, with not a murmur of disquiet from other National MPs!
To think I was once a donor to these quislings.....now I wouldn't give them the 'drippings from my nose'!
Armageddon is coming for Mr Luxon. Referendum to confirm democracy and citizen equality now!
Another totally true expression of frustration at the sheer arrogance of Luxon, that he can’t, or won’t accept the real reason scores of bright NZers’ are leaving the country. Is he so blind that he can’t see his chance of being re-elected for another term is slipping away due to his backsliding on race issues?
Sadly this article has " nailed it " in relation to how New Zealander's feel at the moment.
If you go to Australia, they have had similar "feelings" regarding the current Labour Govt who 'are also seemingly disconnected with the Population'.
The down side -
1.- New Zealand, our past general election voting patterns have been either National and/or Labour that has a generational factor to it.
The onset of MMP saw "a change" (?), but was it. NZFirst 'swung like Tarzan', according to what Winston Peters (personally) gained from a Coalition Agreement with the leading Party of the time - examples Helen Clark Govt , also Ardern and back then a 'brief' relationship with Bolger (which was an odd couple adventure as both loathed one another - think "Wine Box").
Enter ACT, a Party started by Roger Douglas, not well liked because of Douglas, arising from the floor with Seymour - for which if he wishes to go up the "ladder" he needs more quality MPS, standing in electorates, not attached to a List.
2. - Australia - has this "weird coalition" of National Liberal, who over past years have had highs & lows, the last "low" was" Peter Dutton's failure to 'deliver' substance with electable proposals as well as poor personal presentation to the public, for the Country to see potential change & growth - and leadership.
The United Labour groups saw Albanese (re) elected, and then saw changes that had not been "proclaimed" as being policy of development. The National/Liberals then elected a female to be "leader" and since then as an opposition have seen the their 'electoral support' start to dive - reason indecision, lack of leadership, the current leader has poor relationships with MPs of both Parties lack of 'policy' presentation or dithering on what policy they should have. The only alternative Party is One Nation - but sadly the "Leader" is not well liked - in some places hated.
Australia also has , the rising attitudes of the Aboriginal people, who are doing a "Maori" interpretation of Colonial wrongs, they want corrected - and the Labour Govt has "bent a knee" to this.
So for both Countries - where to next.
How do we gain a Political Party that has the same approach as Labour under Walter Nash and or Keith Holyoake?
Much to Nicola Willis chagrin, Luxon has shut down Labour's Māori tax money laundering schemes including:
- The Māori Kings family received tens of millions from Ardern's government for no apparent reason.
- Ardern's government gave the mongrel mob $2.75 million to cure their customers' drug habits.
- Ardern gave the Waiparera trust tens of millions with no controls, allowing John Tamahere AND CHUMS to pocket interest received on the vast sums of tax payer money.
Willis is balancing things out though and just gave taxpayers' $48M to the national kapa haka organization.
Surveys show Kiwis don't really care about the racist Maori rhetoric.
Kiwis do care about their bewilderingly high living costs.
So it just might be Willis' support of the 'illegal in every other country' cartels making super profits in NZ which is the cause of the Luxon Government's unpopularity.
Is distracting Kiwis from the great electricity, supermarket, insurance, and bank rip off; really what you entered politics to achieve Mr Luxon, Mr Bishop, Mr Brown, and Mrs Stanford?
