When i was a kid back in the 40s and 50s i had 6 siblings. We could have been described as poor back then yet our parents, (my father was a low income worker) always made sure we all had sufficient food to eat, even during the 51 lockout. Milk and apples were donated to schools in our town during harvest. White kids and Maori kids all went to school together, and hung out together after school, there was no discrimination, my Dad's best mates were Maori, to us, they were just other people like us. It saddens me to see what is happening to my beloved country, New Zealand. I blame subsequent Governments for the present state of our nation. Btw, i was born here, and did not migrate here from somewhere else as is a common perception by todays Maori. Robert.

[@SunoAIMusic-j9o]

Excellent comment, Robert. The problem is caused by these people themselves, who have twisted everything to suit their own agenda of trying to control their own race. It is them that play the blame game for their own personal benefit, but it will not prevail. Moves have started to have the entire 'Maoris only" network of organisations be immediately disbanded under anti-racism Laws. That includes all "Maoris only" political groups, and the "Maori seats" and wards and committees that were formed incorrectly at the direction of the "Waitangi Tribunal" They will have to give back everything that they were given.

is it fair that Packer is paid over $200000 a year for doing nothing but shit stirring and grifting ?

[@kelbatt7729]

...or a PM getting paid more than twice that , for no measurable improvement in NZs economy since coming in to power.

[@speeddemon9555]

@@kelbatt7729 when you consider the mess that Labour, ( with the help of the idiot Maori and Green parties ) left, the present Government is slowly picking up the pieces, the last government had the tail wagging the dog, they took N.Z. to the edge of third world status !!

Question to Debbie Ngarewa-Packer: What is Te Pati Maori doing about kids going without presents or food this Christmas, and what are Te Pati Maori doing for all the homeless Maori teens and adults, since Te Pati Maori has $2.6 million of unspent funds?

[@janetamplin7318]

Trip to PARIS AGAIN to complain about Europeans. Colonisation cos ti pati Maori don't know history

Great channel mate cheers, gives me a chance to see how you blokes are doing across the pond.

Great answer Mr Luxon. Let's concentrate and focus on the economy first and get this country back on it's feet.

How many houses could be built if we stopped wasting so much money on cones and judder bars?

[@sharonneil2118]

The question should be…. With all the millions of dollars paid out in treaty settlements…what are the Iwi doing with the money and why aren’t they using it to help Maori have a happy Xmas…….

[@chriscarthy1597]

gerry really needs to be a better and control the house with a firmer hand

[@Badgerman913]

Typical Greens questions. If you’re Māori and you haven’t got two coins to rub together why do you persist with having so many kids? Why do some Māori believe it’s up to society to pay for the upkeep of their mistakes? People in my social circles all pay for health insurance, vehicle insurance, home upkeep and mortgage repayments. The list is endless. How is it that Green and Maori party voters who would typically not have any of those costs still can’t make a decent swing of things but assume average Joe’s in society have it so easy and that we’re just sitting waiting to get taxed heavier by the left to pay for those who can’t be bothered sorting. They’re shit out?

[@mereanamaunsell1411]

Yes Maori definitely need to govern themselves so we don't look like KARENS like these Karens

What a fiasco. The future is bleak with this lot. I'm voting ACT in the next election as a life long Nat supporter. Luxon would not have won the election if we knew how weak he is.

Why doesn't debbie use her $200,000 a year. Wages to buy them kai

[@rob368]

So Have any of the PM's taken a wage cut to support those in need at this time of year? especially those asking the question? And how many people could we stop importing to do the jobs that keep this country running, keep the unemployment down and gain our voice back, WE need to be telling and controlling government what is needed not wanted?

All the billions of dollars given to Maori from the taxpayers of NewZealanders are tied up in Trusts held by a few ! Willie Jackson,Tukutuku Morgan etc.

I own a business and a rental property, I can barely make ends meet. Pull your head in Debbie. The Maori party blame all of Māoris issues on everyone else who working hard to be taxed for their benefits and handouts.

If kids are hungry ask iwi for some of their billions dont blame others.

[@AugustCornelius]

Tell the kids who ask for kai, to tell their parents to please give up smoking, drinking, drugs, and gambling!

[@GrahamDally]

like she hasn't asked that question b4

[@Ierenelynch]

With how much billions of dollars they've been given over the years. What have they done with it. Be like everybody else in this country budget and prioritize. Roof, power food always first. Then whats left for your ph and petrol. Since when has this become a tax payers problem.

[@khoorirune4573]

Look at the state of this woman!

[@MaralynTurner]

funny isn't it - its always the Governments fault, yet the Maori have millions of $ in assets - why don't they use some of that money to help their people? What's with the big tikis - I note they are getting bigger and bigger - why?

[@WillDouglas-z1h]

Its not only some Maori kids that are going without at Xmas. there are Children of all races doing it hard so why single out Maori. If you go around to the homes of some of these hard up children you will often see their parents sitting there unemployed, smoking, with empty alcohol bottles, discarded fast food containers and old lotto tickets littering the house. If you see these parents in the supermarket you often see them with trolleys loaded with potato chips and similar paid for by WINZ vouchers, while they use their benefit cash to buy beer and smokes and complain that their kids won't be getting any presents because they can't afford them.

[@ToaLeviFilms]

Majority of full blood Maori left New Zealand for Australia 40 years ago. That's why you hardly see them around.
