If he doesn't show enough gratitude, it's back down the toilet.

That was over 20 years ago, the guy became a better man and father after that and got a new toilet as well

The successful māori I know don’t buy into the victim mentality and take responsibility for being a good member of society.

Everyone needs standards and expectations and I don’t see those set from māori leadership.

Interested to know what the definition of successful māori is?
And what constitutes māori leadership?

 

[juju]

Not a good look how often this thread devolves into white guys in touch with maoridom at all - bashing māori...

You should apply for funding for a program for this success story. Get on the phone to Charlie Gubb and tell him you've got a proposal for his portaloo business.

Post the policy.

And keep that same energy for white collar criminals and not just brown people.

You do realise that white collar criminals isn't referring to their skin colour don't you? Or maybe you don't.

My dad was known to work the books, He was a great white man from England!

The biggest problem is māori who set the example are up against organised crime, lot of white collars involved in that too, just no advertising patches.

Its the kind of rhetoric you would hear on talk back radio in the 80s.

My problem with Native māori is they don't know how good they have It in this country! You get free money to sit around doing nothing, you have a injury you don't have to go bankrupt to pay the medical bill and another million things that are great about NZ

Maybe some introspection from you is required if thats you're first thought to post about a topic as tragic as that story.
The callousness is gross.

Pakeha culture is now māori culture and māori culture is now Pakeha culture, We can't go back now, anyway I have family members who are brown but act like Pakeha and I have white family members who act māori

Mate, Labour isn’t in government anymore. All those free handouts funding applications will be gone.

I knew you'd say that, it's like a script that writes itself with you ACTors

Do you think Grant Roberson will get his groove back?

speaking of the great man. What is the point of him going over to the Rugby World Cup final on the tax payer. I cant believe Hipkins and Luxon were ok with this.

We’re all Kiwis. Colour of your skin has nothing to do with anything much except for those that want it to matter.

We can all have our own culture within being a Kiwi.

It’s the ones that have un-kiwi standards like bashing babies that need to be locked up, regardless of skin colour.
