Tainui leader Tom Roa on the weight of expectation on the new Kuini | The Hui 2024

With the right people by her side she will succeed. She will have snakes hissing in her ears and she will also have people who will read the filth and filter them out. Long live Kuini Ngawai Hono I Te Po

What is concerning and is conveniently overlooked are the religious leaders around The Queen. The secretary to The late King, is an Anglican archdeacon. That he flits between two roles, it is a prime example for serving two masters: Kiingi Tuheitia (in his capacity as secretary) and King Charles III (in his capacity as Anglican priest). We are forgetting the part the Anglicans (or Church of England) played in the colonisation of our country. The missionaries. Governor Grey. William Hobson. Queen Victoria (Supreme Governor of the Church of England). A leopard never changes its spots and it doesn't matter how much the Anglican Church is Maori-fied, they are still on the other side. If we were at war, they would always be on the winning side - whatever way it goes. Shifty. Slimy and self-serving. Yes, when all the Churches came here, they were vying for their own slice and trampled each other for their own means. Our people were not the savages or 'uncilivilised' lot, it was those filthy foreigners who came uninvited and are still here over 200 years later. If anyone is going to unite our people, it will be Te Arikinui Kuini Nga Wai Hono i te Po. We saw her father call the people together to meet and discuss the affairs affecting us. No politician, however eloquent, would have that pull or gravitas. We know where their allegiance lies and it has nothing to do with unity. The religious leaders, likewise, have their own agenda and if pompous was a calling - look no further than the Church, it's an art-form to them. If they called us to rally, what would that look like? All I can visualise is a fart in the wind. Koretake noa iho. No, we have a Queen. Not all of our people may agree to that, but she will be the symbol of unity. She will bring us together. It's time to send King Charles home and to take his Church with him. Thank you for visiting, but you've overstayed your welcome. It's time for us to take back our country. Te Arikinui should be our head of state. Te Arikinui should be on our money. It should be her parliament, her government, her opposition and we should be her people. She has the bloodline to connect to all iwi and the Polynesian Royal Families. E te Atua, whakaorangia Te Kuini!

You were at war, and the Anglican church was on the Maoris side.

She has said,she needs to watch her tongue. It can run away if she let it. Quote made 2 yrs ago when going to meet Prince Charles.
