She blames Maaori issues on Kaawanatanga, god forbid Maaori people take accountability for their own lives like the rest of us. I am Maaori but do not relate to Te Paati Maaori and their rhetoric in the slightest. I went to koohanga reo, kura kauappa, and wharekura, heard all of this kind of rhetoric from Maaori people growing up. Meanwhile, in the community I grew up in adults didn't exercise, didn't bother to educate themselves and did lots of drugs and alcohol. Soo much easier to blame the Kaawanatanga.

[@Pastaaa204]

Wairoa hbrc situation currently going down - I'm Maori, I don't agree W everything Debbie says and does, but she's right about it if you put it in a contextual basis and not just make a generalisation. I agree W you on the personal health tho, I got sick of my family saying its hard to lose weight that I didn't understand their struggle bc I was fit and healthy. I got fat when I was 19 out of pure spite and dropped all the weight within a year and a half and was back down to 60kgs,they asked me if I was smoking crack😂 I told them I changed my diet and stopped drinking alcohol and they all pulled stink faces, I told them fat people only struggle by choice especially those that have the opportunity to turn it around before it gets too bad. I'm not going to go to a bed ridden obese person and say it'll be easy to fix what they've done to themselves, but like if you're under 130kgs and value life you can turn it around.

[@toakasi6425]

Ae me au hoki but the rhetoric is being used time n time again as they are politicians but TPM is very much so scrapping for the party vote it will be harder for them as Labour tend to be more popular & persuasive. Heoi I agree with you on the principle of kawanatanga problem deemed here is the lack of awareness and commitment from our complicit voters they are not mentally prepared for this radical social & political change Wh. Debbie speaks of so we are far removed from this as most TPM supporters are really on the out with their own marae and papa kainga. It is a lifestyle choice to the compromises made 2 3 generations ago have come back to haunt us. This country has been getting swept and sold from under the normal working persons foot this utopian imagined Aotearoa NZ these politicians speak of is nothing but a vision TPM are really branding the vision as it is attractive to minorities but I agree with you also as I am ex Kohanga KKM also now researching for a thesis.

A great word salad of accountability and logic avoidance, but the fundamental question not asked is: Who would have to obey 'laws' passed by a 'Maori Parliament'?

[@MaryAda-wj3dy]

Who would want to follow their contrived laws. Certainly not me

[@Pastaaa204]

A Maori parliament would impact Maori, I think we should have the option given it was promised to us as per te tiriti - it's not my fault the English version is not a correct or true translation in its entirety nor is it Maori responsibility to change the mindset of others who refuse to see the intentional deception. Secondly I would assume that others that wanted to be apart of it should be free to even if they aren't Maori. I would like a Maori parliament that was free of te pati Maori and their kuapapa. It's rather tiresome considering Maori contribute to our tax system but we have to prove our worth, in our own system we won't have to fight for the same rights that others take for granted. I believe everyone that is okay with the current parliament set up are free to stay, when we say a Maori parliament we don't want to force others that are happy W the current system they're under and it works for them and their whanau to jump on our ship. If it works for you, it simply just does and you won't see any need for this. Coming from a small rural town like wairoa, I can see the benefit for this. I'm unsure on the benefit it would have for bigger cities, but small rural isolated towns would hugely benefit from it in my opinion. With a Maori parliament it's more likely we can actually go to the source of our issue as opposed to being thwarted and ignored and having our funding and resources funneled out to bigger cities while our towns stay impoverished. My question to you: why does the majority get irked about the prospect of a Maori parliament and why do they think it's going to impact them if they don't intend on jumping on the kaupapa and they aren't maori. It's very confusing.

You can''t compare Ireland, Scotland, Wales to Maori separatism. Those countries are distinct geographical chunks with borders.

[@Kenny-er5um]

While the designs may be somewhat traditional, it wasnt tattoed traditionally. The moko kauae is largely just for looks these days. The lines arent as nice and neat when done traditionally. Maaori historically had a unique tattoo style, where they wouldn't just lay the ink under the skin, but rather they developed a chisel that would actually leave the individual with deep groves that scarred skin. They didn't have to do it like that, many polynesian societies at the time layed the ink just under the skin, rather than creating the deep groves.
