Pull the other leg Wiz.Iām not on the side of anyone, Iām just laughing that Labour is acting the same as Trump and the antivaxers and those that criticised so hard are excusing it.![]()
His comments are bang on.Jaysis - given the options of stepping outside your echo chambers or drifting even further right to strengthen your beliefs both you and Whiz are really jumping the shark this morning.
And yes, I exist in my own echo chamber too. But seriously, Brian Tamaki is a grifting conman.
Religion has done that job well. Doesn't make Tamaki less a grifter and the conman he is.His comments are bang on.
I am no supporter of Destiny but I respect that he has helped many mÄori turn away from gang life and violence. Nobody else on the political spectrum has done that as far as I can remember. The mÄori elite certainly haven't. Some gangsters have been able to look inward and turn their lives around but that has been their own strength of character.
I hope you have some good friends around you today Wiz that will guide you away from the computer and off to Bay Park for the cricket.Hopefully by pointing out the hypocrisy Labour will reflect and pull back and stop being so divisive.
In trying Labours actions to idiots like Trump and Tamaki it might drive home the error of Labours ways.
In all seriousness, I wouldnāt want a political assassination on my conscience.
Just filling in time until the cricket starts mate!I hope you have some good friends around you today Wiz that will guide you away from the computer and off to Bay Park for the cricket.
That might explain the lack of coherence filter this morningJust filling in time until the cricket starts mate!
Ps I use a phone not a computer so itās hard to keep me out of the actionā¦![]()
Tipping Point is on.AppropriatelyJust filling in time until the cricket starts mate!

Monbiot is an idealist who has been wrong about a great number of things.re: wealthy absolutely not. As mentioned a number of times, I'm not against capitalism per se, just the kind that Geoge Monbiot describes so well here: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/apr/15/neoliberalism-ideology-problem-george-monbiot
No.Tamaki is telling mÄori some home truths but they wont listen. It is never their fault, always someone else and the remedy is always money.
Feel free to post articles yourselfYou and @Inruin love posting news articles so why not post Simon Wilsonās opinion piece in the the NZHerald as well
I'm kinda thinking time is best spent elsewhere tooNo.
Thats one of the non sequitors that follows every comment ad nauseam about mÄori that people like Tamaki (and so many other self-righteous, ambitious others) say whenever they need gullible people with a cognitive bias of fear about what they don't or can't or won't try to understand.
You know, hear something often enough it must be true right? Or that guy is mÄori so he must know etc etc.
Doesn't matter that its got nothing to do with what is being discussed, or what is being asked for, or what is humane and just, or that they want to have a role in managing the environment to help protect it.
Erroneous and constant non sequitors, ad nauseam....repeated everywhere and even on here by some.
Those bloody Maoris eh! All they want is handouts! They get millions, what about the rest of us! Why can't they just sort their own problems out instead of us carrying the burden.? All they do is take, take, take and they want to OWN the rivers, the foreshore and all the fishing quotas, they want to set up a this that and the next thing because they want apartheid...etc.
Educate yourself and listen to what is actually being said, happening, and stop buying into the tropes being thrown out there constantly that are just ignorant and weaponised to keep you in that same bias.
Over and out from this echo chamber of the entrenched. Be careful what you wish for - will be interesting to revisit this thread in the coming months and years.
And to those that are erudite and eloquent, have enjoyed your responses in an unfortunate flogging a dead horse scenario. Kia kaha!
The season is almost upon us & turning my attention now to something that is hopefully more progressive and uplifting!
Facts. Tamaki is interested in only 2 things.And yes, I exist in my own echo chamber too. But seriously, Brian Tamaki is a grifting conman.
just to be clear here, i wasnāt being facetious. i genuinely canāt really find anything that actually says what seymour wants to implement.iāve been on holiday, so i have missed a fucking TON!
do we know yet what seymour is taking from us?
just now quickly saw a lot of hoo ha from today but nothing i can find really tells you anything other than weāre furious and weāre undoing 50 years of maoridom.
is there actually anything more than that that we know so far?
He wants a referendum clarifying the treaty principlesjust to be clear here, i wasnāt being facetious. i genuinely canāt really find anything that actually says what seymour wants to implement.
just a bunch of others opinion that itās probably not good.
any links would be much appreciated!
This is the party of hobson's pledge.He wants a referendum clarifying the treaty principles
- this has been construed as doing away with the treaty which is totally false. National wonāt even let it get to a referendum that and then the public would need to agree to it. And it would still be the treaty, just clarifying what it means because nobody knows.
They are reducing the force through of Te Reo
- if Labour had made government departments in English AND Te Reo like a partnership, instead of only Te Reo there would be no problem.
That want everyone to be equal
- I canāt understand why this is controversial except through an entitlement basis
The coalition have been very clear and upfront about what they are doing and why (unlike He Puapua). The reality is they will now publicly back down and slowly implement changes behind the scenes in a non transparent way because the electorate hasnāt been mature enough to debate it.
They have made clear they are pro mÄori, want to keep the treaty, believe in righting past wrongs, want mÄori to succeed but want to debate how itās done.
Thereās just been a big coordinated amount of outrage for political reasons against everything the new government is doing.
Itās a democracy with 3 parties democratically elected, keeping each other in check and a referendum required to push through the main change. Clear, transparent and democracy!This is the party of hobson's pledge.
