Winston Peters on Rawiri Waititi’s comments on the death of James Cook

[@stevehughes1510]

Rawiri's comment is something you could put down to ignorant childish idiocy. Whatever is he doing as the leader of a political party, he should step down like Ardern did, past his 'use by' date. What a disgraceful person he is.

@gregg7617 just shooting the breeze. Tikanga Maori is Maori Customary Law is the common law of NZ. do you get it!!! LET ME SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU. Maori are Tangata Whenua, the Indigenous Natives of NZ. Our law, i.e., Tikanga which is the ''common law of NZ'' is Superior law. Don't believe me go ask a Lawyer who is worth his salt. Co-governance is being driven by the United Nations on behalf of Maori, this is the RUDE AWAKENING to STOP THE Government's INSTITUTIONAL RACISM, OPPRESSION & DISCRIMINATION perpetrated on Maori. You need to learn you country's history. It is Maori who really run this country. Note all the subtle changes being implemented. So show some respect.

🤣 I would suggest speaking to the people that still live today who's ancestry predates Maori mmmmh ?🤔 Just saying !

[@robbo4190]

A very wise old man once told me that' if you give a Maori a hat he will think he's a General'....and....'You can dress a pig in a suit but you can't stop it grunting'...... What a great and intuitive man this old fellow was.

That's not Wisdom that's prejudice, intuitive no it's incitefull.Old Age doesn't make you wise ,It teaches you why not!!!

​@@shanemorrison9002 it may not be wisdom , but it's still true !! Waititi is confirmation of what he was talking about !!! Totally!!!

[@shanemorrison9002]

@@kenmckay5578 your not wrong but your mistake is assuming Rawiri is Representative of all Maori in Words and deeds, When you are democratically elected to Parliament by the support of some of your people ,The importantance of those MAORI who did not vote for Rawiri tells you alot about Maori Who don't agree with Waititi either.,Don Brash A white politician brashed Maori and his political star declined, Rawiri has done the same thing, What is the difference ?

I have to agree with Winston about the going on's in Maoridom.

[@valeriehughes1008]

Agree with you Winston...Hongi Hika started the musket wars 1820...these raged 20+ years.... in 1835 genocide of the Moriori by Maori and by this time 1/3 of the Maori population had been wiped out....when the treaty was struck in 1840 the tribes were beaten down and in bad condition and the majority of chiefs saw signing the treaty would give them protection by the crown against further utu, slavery, tribal land grabs through utu, and it put an end also to cannibalism.. these enlightened Chiefs jumped at the chance of signing the treaty as it meant survival for their people. The likes of Hika and nephew Hone Heke were not happy as part of the treaty stated that all New Zealanders - Maori and European alike were to be equal... both Hika and Heke felt they should be superior to other tribes and objected to being thought equal! At no time in our early history did the European commit genocide of Maori... that was all down to Maori who committed genocide on a very big scale prior to the treaty being signed.

What courage did it take, aside from the skill and genius, to sail off the edge of the map? The moon landing is only thing comparable in our time but those brave men at least knew where they were going. James Cook was a humane man and a hero.

Don’t worry Winston some of us are well aware of the lie that hipkins and ardern cooked up between them . Some of us won’t forget either how Hipkins smiled and nodded when he stood beside ardern with all of her crazy policies that assaulted our basic human rights .

[@mountainmantararua8824]

What an insult to Captain Cook. It was on his second voyage, when the 'Adventure' (the ship that accompanied the 'Resolution') got into strife with the Māori. Māori had stolen food from the ship and had a fight with the crew, the crew were beaten and eaten. When Cook heard of this he declined to punish the perpetrators and the Māori tribe that had brought the murderers before him could not understand why he would not kill them, and were surprised when he set them free. How many Māori tribes would have done that !! We seem to be forgetting a lot of the good that Captain Cook did and trying to put him in a bad light, to put it mildly.

[@FrankMacioce-jw6uv]

Good on you Mr Peters cheers

[@operator6786]

Winston is a well proven intelligent, honest human being of part Maori background.. Rawiri is the absolute complete opposite except for being a Maori person, how on earth can this person be in charge of Anything where even an intelligent coherent answer or comment from this guy is SO STONE AGE..

[@ruthfowler390]

I never knew Captain Cook myself, for obvious reasons ; after all, one can only give a comment on what one has read, which is only someone else's version of the truth... comments on what he did, and where he went, is just that... Anyway, it's not the colour of our skin, that makes us who we are; it's our, attitude...

[@b.alexanderjohnstone9774]

Who would they rather have discovering NZ? French, Belgian? Japanese, China?

[@mobbarley7517]

The English didn't discover NZ it was already inhabited

[@cthlite]

Waititi sounds like he would like to regress to the days when the Maori were constantly feuding between tribes, slaughtering many, cannabalising some, raping others and enslaving many. Utu always came at a terrible cost. And the musket wars took the slaughter to a whole new level. Those days there were no democratic rights, no freedom of speech, freedom of democracy or religion. And certainly no right to be a member of parliament in a true democratic society. And this is the big difference between communism and freedom.

[@683dxwww7]

Well let's pull out all European and Asian infrastructure and technology in New Zealand And let these people start of a fresh that would be fair .

[@Thebuilder-v7q]

Waititi’’s comments are from a very racist man .should he be in parliament I don’t know so Maybe he’s needs to think before he opens his mouth
