yet English didnt make this argument did he what did bill say again?
wrong white crowd would be a subset of all white people if youve got a wrong crowd it implies a right crowd :-)
arent all laws "conjured into existence"? or do they just float through the window from time to time? :-)
"William English from Southland has been prevented from speaking." how many times does it have to be said? - No, he wasnt
The differing factions in Ngapuhi (lets face it - its a big iwi with many divisions) do need to be taken into account Kingi Taurua isnt the head of the marae in question (AFAIK) and is speaking to two things 1) his own earlier words 2) his opinion of the ...
"It is neither cheating on taxes nor is it illegal. " we dont really know that one - its likely a mixture of avoidance and evasion
"Good on him for having some backbone" deliberately misrepresenting a situation to score political points off the back of peoples ignorance of waitangi day and marae protocol isnt "backbone" its playing people for fools
I wouldnt trust a single idea from seymour - especially on the subject of waitangi day. What he says might sound good, but hes peddling division and wedge politics. Hes not interested in reaching an outcome that works for both parties or the country as a ...
youve changed tack though - you talking something quite different at the previous comment "has no legal standing," well, except for the work of the judiciary during the 1980’s. Once given legal standing - it has legal standing. We dont get to view things ...
what does that have to do with the articles of the treaty and subsequent breaches?
so you will join the rest of us in condemning English for leveraging that false impression in order to score political points then?
"protest central for every nutty cause and activist, " except its not - your thinking of what you see in the press.
what do you think "provide a platform for the PM to engage with Ngapuhi" means?
land of the wrong white crowd
well youve said most maori are fine - so why do you reckon?
Calling people racist probably helps just as much as the PM engaging in racist dog whistling in the lead up to our national day for party political purposes. Its been proven that English has been misrepresenting the situation to a major degree and as OAB ...
from my reading of the released emails, Ngapuhi looked like they were trying to separate the political from the ceremonial Given the history re: waitangi, this seems like a good move.
english was 100% allowed to speak - but not at a time of his choosing
where did your punctuation go? And what on earth does any of that have to do with the fact the crown signed a treaty with maori?
"To most Kiwis, 6 Feb is just Maori Grievance Day." yeah thats a real cringe - considering how staggeringly inaccurate it is. face it - the biggest noise on waitangi is from pakeha - the great white whinge.
"This not allowing the PM to speak" there is a slight problem in that he is allowed to speak at the appropriate time so whos playing who for suckers here?
go and read mickey savages comment down page @ 11
just a question there for those with a better memory (and knowledge of marae protocol) From memory, Key was refused speaking rights at a particular point in the ceremonies but a tent was available for political discussions at a later scheduled time on the ...
i would add surf life saving to that list
"And this what you call hate??? " when its used to dog whistle support and demonise a wide group of people with different circumstances, then i think the answer is pretty bloody obvious
"most voters probably " aww - you were so certain of your self at comment 1 - now your all "most voters probably "
"demonizing Israel pay’s so much better" I know, right! - Those bloody palestinians and their buildings of gold and rocket cars!
garbage in - garbage out
"I just remember reading Kiwiblog and they all moaning about him been a lefty wanker, etc" well that seals it then.
theres also the fact that in the mt albert case, were talking about the majority party in the sitting govt, with a new PM, not running, a year out from the election sure theres arguments as to tactics and all that - but to ignore the context is a bit of a ...
"” HIS personal vanity project ?”. Really?" yes - really. There has never been a popular, public based push for changing the flag. (people have tried but its always been a fizzer) then from day one he proceeded to put his own view into the debate at every ...
