Good on you gerry brownlee. About time someone actually stood up to te pati Maori and their absolute disrespect for anything other than their own cultural interpretations and misconceptions. And their belief that they should have control by 2040. Not to mention the disrespect for all the rest of Maori that dont support tpm mandates and views or the now genealogical current make up of their race of many races. Maori are not the indigenous people of NZ. They did cede sovereignty to the English queen of the time. Their chiefs of the time wanted and understood this. They were given equality and allowed to retain their lands that for the most part they sold themselves legally. There was some mis appropriately obtained or confiscated however some was confiscated in reparation for breaking British law and continuing to war monger. However there have been many opportunities from the 1800s to the current day to enable maori to have wrongly obtained lands returned. I personally agree with this and the returning of tapu lands but not for tpm iwi and councils going helter skelter to just grab everything under lands if Maori significance which is what they are doing or trying to claim all the shore and seabed for 12 miles out to sea. Shore and seabed belong to everyone as do the rivers the airspace and those things that move continuously so therefore cant be defined to ownership. It all has to stop. It's creating racism and division and my fear for NZ is that if it is not corrected that it will completely destroy our society. Law and order and respect from all for all has to be returned to the house.

Leaving this country as soon as possible. This place has turned to sh..!

[@iankinnell5643]

Steve Abel knows damn well Maori have received multiple apologies & pay outs. Rawiti Waititi & the TPM are an embarrassment to Maori & are why Maori get the grief they receive

[@threelegmulti2630]

Why is screaming and shouting war chants appropriate in Parliament?

[@tonygee3284]

The Treaty is being Dismantled Yay

[@clutterbugsattic]

It is amazing how white their faces are underneath those facial tattoo's!

[@briansatchell2319]

Yep only Maori cause it SUITS their Agender

[@Awakenotwoke-lf3ej]

Maori should be more concerned with the fact Indian and Asian are becoming the majority in " our " NZ .

[@AaronGG2016]

Indian is Asian btw

[@ElusivGaming]

That was obviously a set up, Te Pati Maori knew that was gonna happen. On the other hand, despite it not being standard practice, it probably wouldn't of hurt to let them do the speech before the Waiata. This is the problem right, it's not about communicating for Te Pati Maori, it's about creating situations where they can justify their beliefs and it gives them an excuse to post it all over the internet to make a point. It's about mutual respect everyone.

Respect is earned not given....

[@DerekBolli]

Anything other than respectful silence should not be allowed in the gallery. It was a mistake to allow any kind of performance to occur in the House. Do it outside to your heart's content but not in the House.

[@ElusivGaming]

@@DerekBolli It's not a performance though, It's part of Maori culture to do that. Considering it was a Treaty settlement that was being closed out, I don't think its fair to say that Maori need to respect the parliament procedures without parliament respect Maori traditions also.

[@DerekBolli]

@@ElusivGaming I believe that kind of activity usually takes place outside the meeting house. Schedule it as an event and do it properly with MPs who wish to attend rather than disrupting the Business of the House that we are all paying for.

[@dannyheaney]

I get sick off this. Shut them up.

[@Str8FORD]

Why dont u shut up you haf-wit

[@bradprouting9280]

And they wonder why people are fed up

[@Gary-i9f]

[@dunedincfc6734]

The CLOWNS have taken over the circus.

[@keithfletcher236]

Disgraceful who do they think they are

[@Str8FORD]

We tangata whenua if you dont like it I show you the door

[@keithfletcher236]

Why don’t you act like a New Zealanders instead of thinking you are in a privilege class of your own and asking for special treatment

[@stevelarsen4887]

Village clowns being funded by hard working tax payers

[@Str8FORD]

Wake uppppp clown buket

[@damothegreatestone]

They talk about mana and being a ‘strong’ and then they’re all like “waaa you won’t say sowwy waaa”. Pathetic

[@quidanddennis]

What sort of circus is this--I thought that Australian politics was poor BUT this is a joke. This is what would have happened in Australia if the Voice had got up!!! Far out!!!!!

[@DaveParkerNZ66]

The rangatira was in parliament, which has its own rules and procedures. The rangatira should apologise for not respecting the rules and procedures of the house. Respect goes both ways.

[@jasonfindlay8864]

Jeans and sneakers .. plus the hat how can he be taken seriously when he doesn’t show any respect at all himself

[@jomassey4207]

Its all about making a fuss over Maori. Parliament is a place for discussion, not special treatment. Listen to them disrespect and disrupt the whole of Parliament. They think they are above laws of Governance. Absurd arrogance.

[@dubstepXpower]

It's not a religion ffs. They think they can bully and do whatever they want

[@olliemoose2020]

The Māori have always used intimidation tactics, even when the first known European come to these shores.

[@andrewbrownlie2764]

Unbelievable and deliberate and totaly disrespectfully behavior to the Speaker and at least bordering on intimidation. This needs to be followed up and addressed.

[@BROOK-e1j]

what a joke
