The Maori party does not represent decent hard working Maori who want the best for themselves and their families, well said Shane Jones.

[@Duckz558]

@marklayland so what do you think maori want the best for themselves and their families?

[@logicalanswer3529]

That is because they are professional victims. The Māori that you described are not.

[@Pastaaa204]

​@@logicalanswer3529we want a Maori parliament that has no te pati Maori influence. Alot of their policies were rinse and repeat of labour and green and don't focus on issues that are at the forefront of Maori minds. TPM aside from hana imo, are just antagonisers - I laugh at Debbie most times but hardly ever take her seriously. I feel as though they don't have to be so dismissive of others interpretation and refusing to enlighten people in their reasoning for their vernacular , they're doing a Winston essentially - giving half truths that if you're unaware of the history will trigger a negative response. One thing I do have to disagree with is that they're choosing to hyperfixate on the Maori document te tiriti simply bc they're TPM - by international standards the legally binding document is the one in the indigenous language as opposed to colonial forces. Just think, if the original govt ensured both were a true translation of one another without any intentional deception then te tiriti wouldn't hold more weight internationally than the English variant The treaty of waitangi🤷🏻‍♀️ just food for thought anyway

Always delighted to hear Shane speak. Great command of language.

[@swites]

So ridiculous. Maori were never one people. But were made up of tribes who spent much of the time battling over food and resources, and killing each other. Then engaging in a forever spiral of utu. I have Maori ancestry and my ancestors were nearly all slaughtered and enslaved by Te Rauparaha at Onawe Pa in 1832. Lucky my great x4 Grandfather escaped. The good ol' days eh?!!! No thanks!

[@Pastaaa204]

Seems we are whanau then, ae te rauparaha caused alot of mamae. It's partially why I refused to perform ka mate at school (apparently it was the only haka known in the early 2000s) and would only do our own haka from my rohe. My ancestors on the east coast in wairoa weren't that fond of bloodshed and would often shame their enemies by hanging them upside down in trees until the surrendered. Back in the day surrendering brought more shame on the wider hapu than actual death. We didn't like the never endeding cycle of utu, even my ancestor te rauhina made the distinction that she was not a woman that ate flesh to the point her husband's other wife was the man eating wife. You'll find it's not an all encompassing thing and the first tuturu Maori that inhabited these lands before the more recent migrations were very kind people and were more similar to moriori in terms of their nature and stature. Namely bc there were two brothers in which moriori descend from, one went to rekohu the other one went up in te Urewera.

Sounds like u need some reparations from another tribe

[@swites]

@@Pastaaa204 ​ Yeah not my favourite haka either haha! Some have theories that the weather shifted in the Island and times became much tougher, with more droughts and storms so that's when the competition for resources really started. Sparking migrations. Plus the fight for those resources became a matter of survival leading to a more warrior culture, and a more warlike people than before. If that's the case then it could explain why the people of the first migrations were much more peaceful in nature. Like the Moriori etc who got largely wiped out by some of Ngati toa's allies from Taranaki.

[@trevordance3453]

In 1945, a "full and final" settlement of all maori claims was made by the then government, paid by the taxpayer to maori Iwi which was so enormous, it was paid over 30 years in instalments. in the 1950s there were 295,000 part maori defined as being half or more than half maori. Since then, they are way more inbred with other races. As iwi realised the money was going to stop being paid in 1974, they both re-defined what is a maori in 1974 and started civil unrest which lead to the Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975 which has led to the New Zealand taxpayer paying a further $36 BILLION to maori Iwi, up to 2018 which equates to $122,000 per maori as defined in the 50s. The question we should be asking is where is all the money and why is it only the so called "maori elite" that benefit from these huge taxpayer funded payouts ? These crooks need to keep the hate propaganda running to keep the money running for themselves. What we should be saying is, how about you give all the money back to the government and they share it amongst ALL the poor which you keep claiming are mostly maori, would that not be the best way to solve maori poverty instead of blaming the very people who are paying the tax ?

@trevordance3453 totally agree. These people are shameless.

[@trevordance3453]

@@Duckz558 Well Duckz, you can look them all up. Now imagine this. There is a group of people in a room who have to decide what to pay. Many of the people in the room will be the recipients of the money or their lawyers, no actual evidence is required to be presented other than "statements" (maori call this oral history) no cross-examination is done. After every one who is interested has said their bit, negotiations begin on how much taxpayers money will be handed over. The taxpayer's interests are NOT represented and no defence against the claim is made. Then they write up the "claim" as a piece of legislation and it is passed. Anyone who does not vote "for" the legislation is then called a racist and their tenure in parliament is therefore limited. Compare this farcical "tribunal" with a real court where actual evidence is required and can be questioned for both authenticity and relevance and an independent assessment is made of right and wrong by a jury. If that was not an open check-book ready for abuse, I do not know what is... but it gets worse. The claims now routinely finish up with "this does not preclude further claims being made in future". So what are the claims actually based on ? Here is a typical scenario. Hone Heke went to Australia and purchased muskets with money given to him by the British. After signing the Treaty and agreeing to peace, he then went on a rampage around NZ killing other iwi and settlers alike - this was treason. He was warned that he would lose his lands if he did not stop, he did not stop and lost his lands - he was not executed as was routine for British at the time. Fast forward to 1975 and now the taxpayer today are "compensating" people who may have had ancestors of this murderous thug or his relatives ...with today's taxpayers money for loss of their lands. Maori are neither indigenous nor entitled, but the elite "maori" have fooled stupid politicians who want maori votes and white guilt-tripped liberals, into saying "give them the money". Meanwhile poor maori will not see this money....

[@trevordance3453]

Because most NZers are chill and tolerant, and prefer to just ignore them. Also, most NZers believe in free speech. TMP are allowed to have their opinion. Just like anyone should be free to call them out on it. Unfortunately if there *was* any kind of protest, you know the Human Rights Commission would be on it in a flash, and TV1 and Stuff would lead the news in outrage at the "divisive bigots and racists".

Shameful dangerous comments. Let's look ahead with togetherness not backwards. Debbie should be stood down not fit to be a politician in this country.

This book... Witi Ihimaera Sleeps Standing Moetu with HEMI KELLY published 16th April 2016 I think this is what Hon. Shane Jones is talking about. No, I have not read this book.

The comparison between Gaza and Singapore provides a salutary comparison. Both have little in the way of natural resources other than their people. In Palestine, activism around land ownership, ethnicity and toxic religion has inflamed seperation and violence. It has left the people of Palestine, broken and destitute. I am not saying that there isn't a place to address historic grievences, but the way chosen by Hamas, is in my view, is not the way forward. A man much wiser than me once said that "by your fruits you will know them". Compare the outcomes with that of Singapore. Here a tiny nation state (with a higher population density than Gaza), comprised of four principle ethnic group including Malay's (The historic occupants of the land, colonised by the British in the 19th century and occupied by the Japanese in the 20th cent), Indians, Chinese, and English. Each group has its own cultural and religious beliefs, - Muslem, Buddhism, Hindism and Christianity. And yet, under wise leadership, they have been able to develop a vision for the united nation of Singapore, a nation that transcended other ethnic and religious loyalties, Singapore has thrived. It is peaceful, prosperous and successful. The various ethnicities have retained their culture and religion, but these differences haven't become a source of conflict. You can visit Little India, China Town and the Moselm quarter and experince their unique, rich cultural expressons. Today Gaza is broken, and Singapore is thriving. Potentially, Gaza (and Israel) could be another Singapore. Seperatism is not the way forward to a peaceful and prosperous future.

Bluey Shane Jones.....

[@sjxt1556]

De Shane, I went straight to Harry Potter when I heard “blood traitor” too…how are there still people that didn’t understand the moral of that story.

[@karenbolton9526]

Is he reminds me of mortises of Adam’s family touch of craziness about her ha ha

[@michaeljoseph9510]

Trying to be a Hoi poloi with his rhetoric!!!!!!

[@user-wt4ie6iu6p]

Shane's translation of the term "moumou tou toto Maori" is 100 percent incorrect... Nowhere in that term is any word that translates to "traitor"... The term translated simply says... "A waste of your Maori blood"....nothing more.

The only time Shane Jones talks is when the hotel porn chanel is faulty

[@royalenfieldracer7806]

You lose credibility when you start talking genocide

[@Buddhest]

Shane is Kūpapa.. Nothing Māori about him‼️‼️Talking alot of Raruraru🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@tracymichaelsen493]

Shayne always neglects to say he's proud to be Maori. He hints at it yet when talking to a predominantly pakeha audience, he doesn't say he and his whanau are fluent in te Maori. That his moko are in kapa haka. He and Winston are where they are by NOT singing the praises of Maori. If they did have any even slightly perceived loyalty to Maori they'd be out. Pakeha love it when they get up in parliament and ridicule Maoridom as a whole except for the submissive quiet Maori. I am very sure Winston and Shayne started out to help Maori by getting their bums in there. Yet to stay and get as high as they are they've had to effectively eat their own kind. Hence the Harry Potter comment. Shayne did you know was beaten badly by police for being Anti the South African tour back in the day? No of coarse you don't. Maori are proud of these 2 men as we know just how much they have had to endure to help our people. You'll even hear Winston say how he fought tirelessly to help places like Opotiki. We love these 2 men. And the new Maori member of the National Party. What a fine well spoken Maori man. Sometime change should be embraced. Maori are getting tired of seeing our Shaynes and Winston work so tirelessly for very little thanks across the board except from racists getting hard from them belittling there own. What do Shayne and Winston tick on a pakeha official form? Maori or something else?

Shane jones says this whilst national and act exists . It doesnt get any more racist than act and national . As a white person you probably think im wrong but this is how most maori feel sure there are some token ones expressing a different opinion to mine on this channel but they are an exception to the rule .

[@Duckz558]

[@mattyg9]

Could atleast try to pronounce Māori correctly

[@lockk132]

Thing is Maori were obviously promised alot in the treaty and got ripped.I dont really care if there are Maori out there whom wish to have self autonomy.I have all ready worked out how it can operate alongside the current system and at minimal cost.I even sent the Maori party my concept of how a dual system can work.Of cause no reply ,because theyre all mouth and little actual thought out substance

[@rd.3696]
