Well said Mr Peters. Tikanga is all about a belief system and customs of a particular group that are not held by others.

[@Joseph-wo3tr]

Good ol Winston.... he's our real prime minister 👊

[@food4thort]

... and another point is that tikanga has components of the supernatural, i.e. quasi-religious. Notwithstanding the Parliamentary prayer, we are supposed to be a secular state and there is no place for enforced participation in supernatural ritual.

[@ruslingmcgehan7137]

Thankfully we still have Winston and sensible Maori pushing back on this cultural rubbish

[@andreatodd3095]

It takes Mr Peters common sense approach to put things in perspective. Just goes to show the gap between reality and msm sensationalism.

The Treaty Chiefs changed to Tikanga Christianity left the old evil ways behind except for rebels that started Kingitanga terror group who started NZ wars that killed 1000s, the Chiefs wanted them disbanded and they were! The rebel act had their land confiscated not stolen. Kingitanga is basically the Hamas of NZ wanting white man gone!

[@mephistofleece]

Hi all. This is a question for Winston Peters; why the government agencies all still have the changed Maori names and not back to their original English names, despite the election promises? Thank you

[@grizzz6884]

have a look into wintsons history of not keeping his word , but then he is a lawyer

[@valeriehughes1008]

I have noticed in our local hospital almost all English within the hospital ... ward names, departments etc. all English ..now... so it is happening.. what concerns me is the cost of all this Maori nonsense costs... TeReo has cost the country zillions of dollars. If all those zillions had of been spent in health, housing, education, road and infrastructure maintenance how strong and great our country would be.... and ALL NZ citizens would benefit not just a very tiny minority. If Pharmac had the use of some of those zillion then hundreds of cancer sufferers and other critically ill people (many of them Maori) would be able to access medications other countries already have. All this extremism has to stop and Maori have to help stop it.

[@mephistofleece]

@@valeriehughes1008 Not just Te Reo that is costing us lots for nothing. There is also ethnic crimes ... targeting people, businesses and costing us all on criminal lawyer payments, law and order payments, insurance premiums, stress leaves, injuries ... etc. Is it fair that 16% of the society is costing the rest so much invert way? Hell no! Then there is all the race based entitlements, water and land entitlements ... it is like we are dealing with ethnic mafia.

I ended up leaving Bachelor of Nursing because 50% of the curriculum was about colonisation, assimilation, culture, practice and beliefs of Maori people. I respect that every person, group and family have their own culture. I enjoyed working with people who had severe illness, and their families. Sadly when I realised how much time, exams and focus on compulsory curriculum that had little to do with actual nursing, I left.

"Government on a mission to exterminate Maori". Shouldn't she be reporting this to the UN - immediately, for it is genocide. Why hasn't she done this, especially as she was supported by her party leader, saying it was a good speech. Is she not neglecting her people if she fails to report what has been clearly identified as Maori genocide in New Zealand, undertaken by the Government no less.

Do you suppose she might possibly not believe it herself? Still, it does waste parliamentary time giving the bureaucraps more time for their mischief.
