• HONE LOOKING HUMBLE

  
  roarprawn — Authority: 431
  We would not have believed it but Hone Harawira looked pretty contrite on TV tonight but the TVNZ Colman Brunton poll would indicate that most people have had enough of the grumpy radical from the far north. 61% of Maori thought what he said was racist and 69% of the general population saying he should ...

• Adam’s Losers of the Week

  
  The Inquiring Mind — Authority: 484
  No prizes for guessing that the losers are Pita Sharples and Tariana Turia for proving to be weak as ditchwater over Hone Harawira. Adam was right it seems last week in his award of Winner of the Week to the nasty and vile racist of the Far North. The Maori Party leadership have crumbled and capitulated to the ...

• A BIT OF THE OLD SHIMMY-SHAMMY

  
  AGAINST THE CURRENT — Authority: 124
  With Phil Goff and the Labour Party unable to make any real headway in the opinion polls, the venal politics of the Maori Party were just sitting there waiting to be hit. And Battlin Phil Goff came out of the red corner this week and delivered a few swift and calculated punches that, while they not have won him the ...

• A cunning plan to counter MMP?

  
  Homepaddock — Authority: 446
  Phil Goff’s channelling of Winston Peters is uncharacteristic. Nothing in his past pronouncements or behaviour suggests he’s a racist. Why then would he attack Maori as he did this week? There are now only three wee parties in parliament, Act the Maori Party, the Greens (the other two are creations of their ...

• Phil Goff’s Speech

  
  Grant Robertson - Wellington Central — Authority: 127
  A lot of media comment today on Phil’s speech to Grey Power in Palmerston North.    Some of it does not bear much relation to the actual content.  It is vital that we can have a mature debate about difficult and challenging issues, and the media have an important role to play in that. This does not mean ...

• Stockholm Syndrome and leaky homes at the coast

  
  The Standard — Authority: 607
  Bomber over at Tumeke has a good post up on Goff’s speech. Pointing out the Maori Party has Stockholm Syndrome is not race baiting That to me sums up Goff’s speech, far more eloquently than I could. He referred to Eddies earlier post…. ..ouch, did we read the same speech? I don’t think pointing out that ...

  BIG NEWS — Authority: 427
  Goff’s Nationhood speech Rather than do an immediate post on Goff’s Nationhood speech , I thought I’d wait rather than attack Goff for a racist speech that Shane Jones vetted before delivery. What Goff appeared to want to do is open up a split within the Māori Party at the same time as divide a wedge ...

• Goff – Down with Don in the sewer

  
  g.blog — Authority: 410
  Don Brash , 27 January 2004: Is it to be a modern democratic society, embodying the essential notion of one rule for all in a single nation state? Or is it the racially divided nation, with two sets of laws, and two standards of citizenship, that the present Labour Government is moving us steadily towards? Phil ...

• Goff’s u-turn

  
  Kiwiblog — Authority: 616
  My goodness, Phil Goff is desperate. He has actually done a full u-turn on his party’s removal of the right for Maori to test their common law property rights in court. The Herald reports : Labour leader Phil Goff has re-opened the political warfare over the foreshore and seabed law, saying the Government’s ...

• Eh?

  
  PM of NZ — Authority: 476
  Maori Party co-leader Pita Sharples said Mr Goffs comments were a desperate move. "Lets hope he doesnt stir up something when theres nothing there." Eh? As one awaits Hones apology of the day to rejoin the separatists, could I be forgiven thinking that Goff is the only one with a corner of the stirrers market? ...

  Tonight we went to one of the premium events of the Wellington Xmas calendar, the Treaty of Waitangi Fisheries Annual Christmas do.

• Quotation for Today, Thursday 26 November

  
  The Inquiring Mind — Authority: 484
  Maori Party co-leaders Tariana Turia and Pita Sharples claim to represent all Maoridom. But the preferential rort they have screwed for powerful iwi, as the Maori Party’s price for supporting National’s emissions trading legislation, calls into question just who calls the shots and who the party really ...

• Stupid as well as wrong

  
  No Right Turn — Authority: 604
  To paraphrase Talleyrand , Phil Goffs morally indefensible playing of the race card is not just a crime - it is a mistake . Despite Labours dear wishes, the Maori Party is not going to go away. Instead, it looks likely to be a permanent feature of our political landscape. More importantly, it looks to be ...

  The Standard — Authority: 607
  Never in the history of New Zealand politics has so much taxpayers’ money been hurled into the chasm with such contempt for the poor citizens who will pay billions out of their own dwindling pockets forever while rich polluters wreck the earth with impunity and bask in the profits. Never in the history of NZ has ...

  Right we are back to cheer leading for the Nats and of course the Maori party. the ETS is now bedded in and we cant change that so its time to get on with life.
