Regardless of race Maori or not Maori, we need to realise people just want to get along. I am just a European who wasn't born here, but love the Maori culture. I don't agree with everything but it doesn't hurt me or hold me back. Learn to love new things..... You might just get to like it. I still remember walking down the road in Paris intoxicated when I was younger and yelling tu tera mai nga iwi. You should be surprised but I got Tatou back from multiple different places...... They were not kiwis.

We’ve all sung Tūtira Mai Ngā Iwi. I probably learnt the song when I was about 6, at the same time as learning how to make flax baskets & learning about how Māui caught the sun. We learnt about Maori culture from our earliest years, so it’s a little bit patronising to talk of ‘learning new things’ as if the European
population here just discovered Maori culture through the bold efforts of Labour and TVNZ.
What I am not very clear on where you stand on Maori separatism, which is taking us down a path towards being a divided nation.
So Te Pati are blaming the new coalition for Maori being unable to resist a fag eh?
They think that causing disruption in Auckland tomorrow will help that situation.
Don't they know the election is over, and the people have spoken.
I've dusted off my Patu, and will be there to put my spoke in.
It was not the Treaty but it was The previous government that unleashed co-governance and now Māori Party activists won’t accept NZ parliamentary democracy and being out of office.
“Activists connected to Te Pāti Māori organised the protests with some iwi and community leaders”
