Does it shock you in any way to find out that one of their MPs allegedly paid her son $120,000 of taxpayer money, that she couldn't apparently balance her own budget? And that her son allegedly abused parliamentary staff so badly that he was trespassed from the grounds?
No really, right? Not really a surprise.
And this feels exactly like the kind of stuff you would expect to be happening when a political party pulls together a collection of activists who have no respect for the rules - which they demonstrate on a seemingly weekly basis by not showing up to their jobs in Parliament, who can't even do up a pair of leather shoes to go to work, and who think nepotism is just another way of showing love to your family. Their words, not mine.
Now, do you really think that that alleged incident where Eru Kapa-Kingi shouted at parliamentary staff and threatened to knock one out happened on Budget Day 2024 - as in 18 months ago, and we have only just found out now?
Which has me wondering, what else is going on in there that we don't know about yet?
Now, I'm not surprised by what's being revealed. And what it means is that I'm weirdly not actually terribly exercised by it, certainly not in the way that I would be if this was National or Labour or any other serious party.
I would expect in those instances for heads to roll, and I would expect explanations and media stand-ups and real interrogations by the media and people appearing on the show to be grilled.
But I don't expect that with the Māori Party. Now, that should worry the Māori Party, because what that means is that I, and anyone else who feels like me, don't take them seriously.
We don't think they're serious people. We don't expect them to hold standards up.
We regard what we're seeing as more of a clown show that needs to be contained so it doesn't contaminate the rest of Parliament.
So good luck to them making it into a future Cabinet, which they're obviously quite keen on, if they're not being taken seriously by us.

They may be a bunch of nefarious clowns, but they are "serious people" in the sense that they get voted into Parliament and there is no law stopping them from some day being members of a coalition govt.
Red lights are flashing.
Heather there is so much wrong with all of this. Firstly some nat support person was publicly put thru the media ringer and sacked for looking at images he shouldn't have been. Meanwhile on the other side of the fence a Maori is making a fool of himself, thinking he's above the law, threatening normal people and it never makes the news. The msm no doubt swept it under the carpet and if it weren't for sites like this the good people of this country would never know.
This latest Maori train wreck highlights how toxic these guys are and should never be trusted . They wouldnt be an issue except for race based seats which seems to bring the worst types of Maori out.....all sentences seem to start with 'what are you doing about Maori....'they obviously don't have the mental ability to comprehend that there's so many more cultures in this world and country that also might be in the same boat. But these self centered toxic racists just don't care....even about their own people, else surely they wouldn't behave the way they do.
The bright side to the te partly maori shambles is that i hope they keep it up, these terrible people are showing their true colors to the world. Lol.
And heather there is no doubt whatsoever that they and the equally activist greens will be running nz, if the left trio of horror wins in 2026. Hipkins has agreed publicly to the media on many occasions that maori did not cede sovereignty. Please heather, let people know the dangers that face nz if they vote labour.
Simple. Abolish Maori seats.
This kind of apathy and complacency is precisely why New Zealand will one day soon find these incompetent morons in Parliament.
All encompassed in the words te ao and tikanga.
Grifters
And Luxon wonders why he's tanking in the polls. These activists need to be gone, along with their race-based seats that do not reflect the morals and contemporary aims of a modern cohesive society. These racists are also costing us this country a great deal f money it can ill-afford. If you really want to be a leader Mr Luxon, get off the fence and do something about it right now!
Judging from opinion polls on voter intent about half the country, directly or indirectly, knowingly or not, backs the hardline activists. I realise the local body ward vote was a low turnout but the pro ward vote was a warning
