  MacDoctor — Authority: 547
  It is seldom that I agree with Hone Harawira, but I have to agree with his comment about the suggestion that he becomes an independent MP as the “ Silliest idea I’ve heard “. For starters, Hone cast loose as an independent is just going to make him more of a nuisance than now. Currently, we only get Hone-ism ...

  No Minister — Authority: 572
  Looks Like Hone has done his doogs , much as Adolf expected. The party president has suggested he might like to consider the virtues of being an independent MP. Hone doesnt think much of that because he would get no more tangos in Paris. We shall have to wait a couple of weeks to see how it pans out but the little ...

• HARAWIRA IS WRONG

  
  AGAINST THE CURRENT — Authority: 123
  Why are so many people shocked by the views that Maori Party MP Hone Harawira voiced in a private email? Yes, Harawira has apologised for the expletives but he didnt apologise for the views he expressed - because they are the views that he has always held.

• Maori Party Racism

  
  Contra Celsum — Authority: 430
  The Mask is Slipping An ideology of racism, implicit in the very existence of the Maori party, is now starting to become more overt.

• I like Hone and why he should stay.

  
  Aotearoa: a wider perspective — Authority: 430
  I don’t know the man personally but hope to one day shake his hand. I like his stance, his total disregard for political speak and his brutal honesty. Which is funny since I am as white and middle class as it comes and my ancestors were responsible for the word “apartheid”. But compared to the glib, ...

• Yeah, nah, too far

  
  The Standard — Authority: 609
  We all use language sometimes that’s too stong and we regret. Hone Harawira apologised today over his choice of words in the “white motherf**kers” email. Unfortunately, he followed that up by saying Phil Goff “should be lined up against the wall and shot” over the foreshore and seabed law. It looks to me ...
