Ani O'Brien: "Load of crap" - how radical Māori activism is beyond reproach

The way media and the chattering classes are carrying on you would think Minister Chris Bishop had suggested Stan Walker was “bound to get slapped up” and declared the way to resolve their political differences would be through a boxing match. Instead, the fervent supporter of New Zealand music voiced an opinion at the Aotearoa Music Awards that upset the sensibilities of the painfully self-righteous moneyed cultural elite.

Centrist: ‘A load of crap’: Bishop calls out political theatre at music awards

National minister Chris Bishop has apologised for his outburst at the NZ taxpayer-funded Aotearoa Music Awards.

However, Bishop stood by the substance of his comment labelling Stan Walker’s performance “a load of crap”, a reference, he said, not to the music itself but to the overt political symbolism on stage.

The trojan horse for Te Pāti Māori’s political agenda

I had no intention of wasting time on the Aotearoa Music Awards. These shows have become nothing more than a woke circus, constantly pushing woke bullsh*t instead of celebrating actual musical talent. When Minister Chris Bishop called Stan Walker’s performance “a load of crap,” the reaction on my X timeline was impossible to ignore. So I watched the video for myself.

And you know what? Bishop was right. It was a load of crap.

Eliora: Believing One Race Is Superior to Another

Activism does not come from all Maori. New Zealanders all have Maori as friends and relatives, who are good, hardworking contributing people.

Why should a small percentage of the 16% of Maori in New Zealand tell us that they are taking over?

It makes no sense. But it’s happening.
