Fears and cheers.: Tuku Morgan & Metiria Turei on the election result

Tuku Morgan and Metiria Turei believe the left have to work together better to have a real chance of winning in 2026. Tukoroirangi Morgan entered parliament in 1996 when NZ First took out the Māori seats then stood unsuccessfully for Mauri Pacific. He is a former President of Te Paati Māori. Metiria Turei was a co-leader of the Greens. She was in parliament for 15 years after initially standing for two other parties. Former National Party leader Simon Bridges was unable to make the interview.

If people wanted New Zealand to be divided into 2 seperate groups, they would have voted for it. But they didn’t, they voted for unity for everyone.

[@teaowithmoana4758]

That's why we have 6 different groups in Parliament and most likely 3 in Government right?

[@barneyboy2008]

Nz has always been divided into 2 groups, it's just that the majority of European NZers have ignored Maori culture until it was brought front and centre by recognition of treaty in the last 30 years. Learn about key Maori values like manaakitanga and whanaungatanga then you might understand why recognition of the treaty is important.

How true, but these people really don't realise how much anger there is out there in the greater majority of the population.

[@shauntempley9757]

We know. Kind of hypocritical, considering the majority unleashed the same anger 19 years ago. Maori have been angry since the Foreshore and Seabed, and Ngati Tuhoe's dawn raid. The majority caused those issues, and now it has returned. If this is not addressed, our descendants will hold us responsible, and it is not Maori that it will be aimed at. It will be aimed at the majority, and our young that are almost old enough to vote, already know whom to blame. That encounter between David and that 17 yr old girl during that press conference last week is a sign post. Every young person agrees with that girl, and his side has already lost them.@@mikevickers1391

If Maori want to make a change in government, they are going to have to change their approach to how Maori and Pakeha can work together. As a minority, you are not going to convince the country to vote in your favour when you have Waititi, Jackson and Davidson airing their racist views publicly

[@Tupunaforever]

Most New Zealanders have just experienced 6 years of gloom and despair at the expense of minority groups. It didn't work. The more Maori politicians who adopt a political left ideology, I believe the more Maori will suffer. The great black professor of the United States Mr Thomas Sowell, has navigated the political history of America, and it's impact on Afro Americans. The Ideology of the Left has been devastating on Afro Americans and Thomas Sowell backs this up with evidence. I leave you with this, during the first lockdowns the Adern Government pushed through some of the most brutal abortion laws in the western world. Late term abortion legislation was passed, with parts of the legislation challenged. What was challenged?. There is more of a chance a baby is born alive during a late term abortion, and groups asked if that was the case, could the baby be given medical attention, and it was voted down, rejected. Reports came out of an instance where this happened in NZ, and the baby which was born alive, took 2 hours to pass away, with no medical assistance given. Staff in this hospital were devastated. Nothing Maori about that. As a proud New Zealander, Maori, I don't need a Government to tell me what to do or who I am, any government. I stand on my own ground and support my own community and people. I stand for what I believe is right in the shadow of my tipuna my ancestors, and if I think my tipuna wouldn't want a baby to suffer death at the hands of adults who have legislated for this to happen, then the people responsible, have blood on there hands. Dosen't matter what politcal party it is.

CODE OF SILENCE Since as far back as 1840 there has existed a ''CODE OF SILENCE'' between every NZ leader, and their individual Government and every Member of Parliament whether European, Maori or other ethnicity. Everyone has maintained their silence into the grave. #This ''CODE OF SILENCE'' has centered around NZ's history, aka what years did Maori actually arrive in NZ? #What year or years did Moriori arrive and where exactly did they settle, was it the Chatham or the main land and from whence did they come from? What was their path they took? #What other races arrived on these shores, prior to Maori and in what year? What journey did they take? #What is the history of all historical sites around the country, why are they being covered up? #Why ALL of Maori's history in this country has been swept under the carpet? #Why is there still in 2023-24 a concerted effort still to hide the FACT that INTERNATIONALLY #Maori are recognized as the true #Sovereigns of NZ, #Maori are recognized as the #Indigenous #people of NZ? #Why is the general population of NZ ignorant to all of this knowledge? #Why is the NZ Government under a #Standing #Order to attend Waitangi Celebrations every year on the 6th February to accept a ''GRANT'' from ''Maori'' to GOVERN NZ for the next 12 months only? #Why must a Navy vessel from His Majesty's Royal Navy i.e., (HMS) attend the Waitangi Celebrations every year on the 6th February? #WHY is His Majesty's Royal Navy there to protect Maori in perpetuity)? #Why is the NZ Navy actually His Majesty's Royal Navy? #Was Lord Glenelg's Standing Order activated in 1995 on Waitangi Day, when a group of Maori dropped the NZ flag to the ground and hoisted the He Whakaputanga Maori Sovereign flag? did a number of NZ officials get detained under ''House Arrest'' some for a number of days? #Why all of the secrecy that surrounds Waitangi Day? #Why do you keep the general NZ population ignorant of Maori history which is NZ's history? #Why have successive NZ Governments SOLD off Maori businesses like the ''Bank of NZ'' and why has the proceeds of the BNZ Bank been pilfered by Government officials and co-conspirators? Will they ever be held to account to return the 4billion dollars #NATIONAL'S #Prime #Minister #Jim #Bolger and his co-conspirators stole? #Why did #NATIONAL'S #Prime #Minister #Geoffrey #Palmer in 1986 nullify the ''U.K. 1852 Constitution Act'' all done while NZders SLEPT in a dozy slumber, was Palmer attempting to wrestle the Country out of the hands of Maori? Was Palmer a DUMASS? because when he nullified the 1852 Constitution Act he also nullified his power to Govern NZ, and had to ask Queen Elizabeth II to please re-enact certain U.K. Imperial acts to grant the NZ Government it's authority back to govern? #Why hasn't anybody heard about ALL of this before....? because this ''CODE OF SILENCE'' exists around NZ's Parliament. #Does this National Government in 2023 intend to do as their predecessors have done, have their hand in the till pilfering #Maori #assets Land and businesses?

It’s time for Ngai Maori, enabled by their iwi, to support their people to achieve their aspirations, if they do this, then everyone in this country benefits. As an optimist, I would prefer that we humans support fellow humans synergistically in ways that also protect our environment from harm. I think this is the opportunity this election result has delivered. There are no perfect solutions out there so let’s be bold and do something different this time. Let’s fix the economy first, law and order, health, education, and our infrastructure and national resilience social systems. There is zero benefit if we become divided due to racist reductive reasoning as a society. Let’s instead lift our people up and create sustainable and viable socioeconomic systems enabled through the Treaty and its core tenets. We can do this if we stop bickering over crumbs and have mature and respectful conversations together. The realist in me, says…. Get real chap, you are being naive again……. It’s a nice dream, I truly hope this new generation of Parliamentarians will make my dream become a reality for my (and your) mokopuna 😊

[@vashti-kr8tp]

If we are so racist how come we’ve over 90% intermarried. That proves love and respect. We need to appreciate our bi cultural roots. Māori stats have consistently improved from where they were pre colonisation and continue to do so. Europeans stats are declining rapidly from where they were especially among our young. We live in difficult times and division of resources by race will make things far worse and lead to civil unrest and war. Into the mix are all our valuable immigrant’s who came here for a better life. This is not a Māori/ European nation anymore if we want to keep our nation prosperous we can only do so together under our current one vote for all system that advantages each person regardless of race.
