This outcome is like a wet dream for those on the centre right.

And remember/never forget
The right is for the rich

But of course as the rich got there by being smart, hard working, diligent and by creating wealth for society.

The left? Dumb, stupid, lazy and comprises mostly of parasites, losers, freeloaders like Ardern & Hipkins and breeders of beneficiaries.

Very very satisfying to put the left where they belong with - the trash can.

As Javier would say "SiHt Leftards"

I don't know why the Smoke-free legislation has been scrapped.

I thought that was one of the better things Labour did.

Meanwhile, clueless as to what to do with vaping which is now going gang busters out there.

A lot of rich people vote left and a hell of a lot of "not well off" people vote right. But you will never change your thinking.

“How can you have a waka on the road?”
A helluva good question & one that the moronic Lefty’s have never been able to answer.

Same sort of woke waka which went nowhere under Hipkins and Ardern - dumb as dumb does.

Like English, maybe Te Reo instead should continue to use transliterated French words “vehicle” and “car”? If Te Reo had done what the English language has done and absorbed a French word, I think Winston Peters would probably object to that too. Would he accept “Kā” or “motokā”?

If English used only “English” words, its dictionaries would be only half the size, at most.

Is Maori absorbing English and French words then? Of course it isn’t. So an existing English word gets transmogrified into a Maori one. Motor car becomes ‘motoka’. Maori behaves as a ‘dead language’ in that there are conventions and constraints that cannot be breached, while at the same tome behaving like a ‘living language’ by creating new bastardised words out of existing templates laid out by English - such as the above example. The ultimate example of this idiocy is ‘Hato Hone’ for Saint John. Will this ridiculous template be followed as regards other historical figures? Napoleon becomes ‘Hahomone’ perhaps? We’ll have Te Reo history books discussing Charlamagne (‘Hahahamene’), the Vikings (‘Te Hikine’), and the Huns (‘Te Hune’).

We will see how long the likes of St Johns and Plunket keep up their woke pretenses of using Maori when the new government starts to cut back their funding even while more and more donors stop giving money to them.

They are there to help and service those who need their help - instead they spend more effort incorporating woke policies into their operations to appease Labour under Ardern & Hipkins than doing their jobs.

You are actually describing the development of English too. It “bastardised” (as you put it) plenty of words from French, Latin etc. Languages may or may not adopt words from other languages or may choose to repurpose an existing word. So in English we drive a (French) car or vehicle instead of a (repurposed old English) coracle, boat or ship.

At the time some may have criticised those who started to use the vulgar “Saint John” instead of “Sanctus Johannes” . Hato Hone is equally as ridiculous as Saint John, in your parlance.
