Dangerous and deluded.
They themselves are living proof that their claims are false.
Well done, Shane Jones.

[danielphillips]

The Maori Party have gone extremist and separatist. They do not in anyway represent myself as a proud Maori.

[marklayland]

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

[castleofaargh]

TPM are a disgrace for their rhetoric. Have them tell someone from Rwanda or Cambodia about genocide

[geoffneal]

So pleased Kiwis are starting to call out false, inflammatory & hateful language.

[Thebuilder-vq]

Tea party Maori Party should be ashamed of their actions, racist and hateful rhetoric towards the rest of the country is shameful and unacceptable, the treaty is now being used against the majority of people in New Zealand

"A toxic mix of idealogical it. Thanks Shane.

[nzkid]

“I’m a victim because I’m Māori “ blah blah blah sick of the victim hood mentality among these ones

[unclejoe]

Why do Maori who move overseas and live as independent individuals become successful ?
They don’t feel restrained to think, speak and act as a Maori.
They don’t think and feel as a victim.
They don’t blame other races for their downfalls.
Te Pati despises these Maori individuals.
Te Pati needs dependent, hopeless and angry constituents.
Shane summed it up perfectly. 😊

[Keepitsimple]

TPM are joke and at this point driving a wagon of hatred and division not only amongst Maori but also NZ society.

[irianscott]

the Maori Party using the same type of White supremacist rhetoric. How ironic.

[djangor]

Shane Jones telling it like it really is. Well done Shane and thank you Michael Laws for giving Shane a free rein to express his views without jumping in all the time and breaking his train of thought. I hope that you're in Parliament speaking out your voice of reason for many years to come Shane.

[lesterwyoung]

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

[tribalwar]

Well said
I voted left until Jacinda started goose stepping around important questions.
There goal is to divide
I love our country and people

Wouldn't mind closing our borders for a year our infrastructure can't cope

[craigscoullar]

Shane makes me pround to be a new Zealander keep up your great meaningful work..you hit the nail on the head...

[craigscoullar]

Shane jones has amazed me..and as a strong labour past supporter hes come good..i love his mature vision

[karenrhodes]

What amazes me is that one race can ask from all other races what they themselves don't I respect only those who EARN respect!

[brucehardwick]

There is only One Race; the Human Race !!

[iangeorge]

Thank you Shane Jones and Micheal. NZ is heading in a new direction thanks to your voices, one that creates free open and important dialogue. You are the new Media.

Ti Pati Maori reminds as that one million identity as Maori, of some proportion.
Ti Pati Maori doesn't appear to have the greymatter collectively, that most don't vote for their racist, bigoted rhetoric.
