the majority of voters who voted this lot in are ‘the public’ too.
whether you like it or not. their vote is worth EXACTLY as much as yours.

in your words Marv - Huh????? Who said it wasn't? So many assumptions again!

in your words Marv - Huh????? Who said it wasn't? So many assumptions again!

your words were;
“It's all about the public good marv.”

and i said the public voted them in.
and that their vote means just as much as yours.

those who voted for them are getting what they voted for.

if you don’t understand that, then i don’t know how to help you.

The public didn't vote on repealing smoking legislation at all...

No parties campaigned on it to the public & it turns out it had a tiny mention in the NZF manifesto.

NZF only got 6% of the vote. It's disingenuous to say those who voted got what they wanted. That a lobby sector can influence a party and health policy should concern any reasonable person.

yeah, that’s a fair point.

'Māori enough?': Act MP Karen Chhour breaks down over 'bullying behaviour' in Parliament

She says the work environment feels unsafe for her.

Awwwww freedom of speech for me but not for thee.
ACT party moto.
Scum can't handle it now

 

[Deranged]

yeah, that’s a fair point.

Marv don't take that reasonable approach, this is an online political debate. A better response would be something along the lines of "shutup you commie cuck".

 

[MrFrankWhite]

One thing just to remember with all this is that these lazy terrible parents were once the kids without guidance. The problem is generational.

Juju's offence to anything I post blinded him to the essence of what I was saying. which is this. Its generational, but it can be overcome as seen in studies. Its takes 3-4 generations but its achievable with enough targeted education.

Freedom of speech doesn’t extend to abusing people’s race, or questioning their racial identity. There are plenty of restrictions of freedom of speech.

Like telling the flight attendant that you are carrying a bomb

During general debate in May, Te Pāti Māori MP Mariameno Kapa-Kingi said “E te Minita, ka aroha ki a koe kua karetaohia e tō pāti. Kia kaha rā”.

It was only when reading the translated Hansard of this statement later that Chhour understood the meaning of the remarks, which was: “To the minister, how sad that you have been made a puppet by your party. Be strong.”

Chhour told the Herald she complained to the Speaker about the incident, as well as others, where she felt she was being subject to “bullying behaviour” rather than being attacked on issues of policy.

It’s not an isolated incident. TPM have been running a campaign of questioning her “Maoriness” and upbringing, because her political stance on Maori matters does not align with theirs. Like a race traitor. She’s “not a true Maori” is the agenda they have been pushing, of which this incident is an example of

They don’t give Peters and Shane Jones the same treatment

Fuck you're embarrassing, support the Maori party's freedom of speech clown, or just come across as a racist like you are. Hahahaha

How the fuck is that bullying the woke scum

Eh? Ratcheting up a gear here

Chhour is Maori and was bought up in the state system with foster parents.

A TPM social media post:

“If Section 7AA were around in Karen Chhour’s time, she would have been raised Māori, she would have been raised being connected to her whakapapa and having a knowingness of her Māoritanga. Instead, she was raised Pākehā with a disconnection and disdain for her... people.”

A deeply personal attack throwing rubbish at Chhour commenting on her personal upbringing and saying she is not the right kind of Māori.

Very unbecoming from a political party.

We’re all people - nothing good comes from dividing us up by race.

 

[defensivebomb]

This is what she is dealing with (from Newshub)

She isn’t “Maori” according to TPMs view. I would find it insulting, having someone else trying to define my identity and tell me what it should be.

Maybe PullingTeets you are ok with that. She isn’t. I wouldn’t be either

Probably reveals a bit more about your character

Is there any evidence of this social media post from TPM? Can't seem to find it anywhere.

EDIT: Found more on it. Terrible wording from the TPM socials page, but putting a social media admins words on the whole party is a bit far on your guys behalf. Was probably some lippy intern

It’s the Maori parties objective to create divisions around race. If race was irrelevant they wouldn’t have a platform so they need to take a default divisive position to remain relevant.

Some examples of their coarsening of the tone around race relations:

Maori party MPs: ‘coalition government have a "mission to exterminate Māori”

MP’s repeatedly using the words "white supremacy" and "Pākehā supremacy" when criticising the repeal of section 7AA of the Oranga Tamariki Act.

‘It is a known fact that Maori genetic makeup is stronger than others.’
