If National wins ...

National's new "leader" wants to learn te reo, so that 96% of the population won't know what he is talking about. Smart eh?

Nothing wrong with te reo if it is spoken on it's own but to bastardise english by mixing it in is brainless.

Yes, it is called New Zealand pigeon English.
We made it up all by ourselves, cool eh!

The left wing media will be ready to pounce on anything Luxon says that doesn't conform to the politically correct paradigm that they have introduced and will enforce. So he really is in a bind. They will be champing at the bit to declare him a 'racist' and 'cancel' him if they can achieve it. Probably the best thing he can do before leading the fight back against the co-governance agenda and the take-over that is underway is to learn Te Reo, as that will make it harder to brand him in the way that the left wing media will seek to. It's the political take-over and co-governance agenda that we object to, not Maori people or Maori culture in general.

Then you're going to have to fight the judiciary, you & a few others don't seem to have grasped the govt & politicians are bound by the laws & constitutional arrangements for this country.
Iwi are asserting their rights backed by the judiciary & although some politicians will try & make you think they can stop this, they won't when it comes to the crunch & many won't want to either including people like Chris Luxon.
They just want your vote so will fudge & obfuscate when questioned around these issues, just like Luxon did in Nelson, not answering the specific questions put to him.
There's no way Luxon will direct TV1 to reduce the use of Te Reo, nor for govt departments to reduce the use of Te Reo, nor diminish in any way the partnership between Iwi & the Crown represented by the govt.
Remember Luxon's wife speaks Te Reo & he wants to learn it.

"Iwi are asserting their rights backed by the judiciary & although some politicians will try & make you think they can stop this, they won't when it comes to the crunch & many won't want to either including people like Chris Luxon."

These are just your interpretations of the treaty. The treaty has never said that Maori have more rights to govern this county than anyone else. You are making that up.
It was always a partnership between all people living in NZ.
You are just making up a narrative to benefit a few Maori.

If Luxon thinks he needs to speak te reo to be a leader he is just another want to be politician.
People are getting sick of this so called "woke" BS.
Just be an effective, honest leader.

I think you mean some people are getting sick of the b/s. Obviously the majority tolerate it, or don't complain, or the TV channels would mend their ways.

Anyone in the media not playing the woke game these days under Cindy & her Maori cabal will find their career progression stifled - that's why many are doing it but waiting for the day when they tell their spin mistress & masters to stick it up their arses.
