Matua Kahurangi says it as I think most regulars here see it.
`The rare case I’d vote Labour to stop a party of racists’
Reinforced thus.
`This might be the only time you’ll hear me say it: I support Labour. Not because they’ve suddenly become competent (that will never happen) but because the alternative in the Tāmaki Makaurau by-election is far worse.
The two main candidates:
Now I personally think Peeni Henare is basically a decent man who got a bit carried away when he joined in the infamous Maori Party Haka late last year. He is no rabid activist like Willie Jackson and others spread through the three opposition caucus’s.
Matua confirms my thoughts in the next two paras and obviously ranks him ahead of his main By Election opponent.
Peeni Henare isn’t perfect. He is Labour through and through. At least he isn’t a radical race-baiter (yet). Labour, for all their incompetence, is not as openly racist or divisive as Te Pāti Māori, who have doubled down on separatism and grievance politics.
Oriini, the token part-Māori bird with the chin tat, that Newshub paraded around like a diversity trophy, spent years pushing Labour’s Covid messaging and censorship agenda. Now she is running under the same party that wants co-governance, racial separatism, and has John Tamihere as their President. He is a man who has turned race-based politics into a family business.
As he says:
The last thing this country needs is another activist MP from Te Pāti Māori grandstanding in Parliament while pushing an ideology that divides us further.
Here is a link to his full post which includes a piece by Mrs Rawiri Waititi (aka Kiri Tamihere). You can make your own judgment on what she says.
No Minister 
TPM say they have enough registered voters for a further Maori Seat in Parliament, making 8 seats. They believe next year there will be enough registered on the Maori roll for 9 seats.
That was the purpose of the submissions on the Treaty Principles Bill, the Treaty Principles Bill Hikoi and all the other TPM grandstanding.
And is becoming evident in submissions to local councils as the Maori wards referendum nears.
Maori have been enrolling briskly for local elections so there will be strong support for the wards.
NZ’s democracy has never been in a more perilous situation!
Having given this at least 3 seconds thought, if I was able to vote in the upcoming by-election I’d be a raving fucking racist to start with so voting for lunatic communists with a racist bent or other racists would be a moot point.
They all want to destroy New Zealand and get their greedy hands on the debris left behind.
