Friend -

They are not ‘The Māori Party’ they are a ‘Party of Radicals’.

They don’t want democracy they want anarchy.

They purport to represent Māori even though the vast majority of Māori don’t vote for them. They deliberately attack individual Ministers with childish schoolboy slurs that are only ever designed to stoke racial division.

They ignorantly call the government a ‘Pakeha Government’ with ‘Pakeha Laws’ when two of the three leaders of the coalition are Māori and there is a record number of Māori in Cabinet.

They personally attack Māori Ministers for not growing up Māori enough, for being sell outs, for wanting to exterminate Māori, for being white supremacists, for being racists, for wanting ‘everybody to be white’. These are quotes.

The only Māori they acknowledge and want to represent are the minority who think like them. If you are a Māori and don’t think like them then ‘you’re not a real Māori’. The sooner the media realise this the sooner they will see the blatant racist rhetoric they use as their weapon of choice.

Their rhetoric belongs in the gutter and should be called out by media for what it is – and would be in a nanosecond if the racial roles were reversed.

Friend they are now calling for ‘a revolution’ promoting images of guns. They are calling for protests to disrupt and block our streets by stoking racial division.

Make no mistake, racial division is exactly what they want – not unity.

They actively promote wanting a separate parliament, they want separate laws, they want separate land, they want separate constitutions.

We should never accept this ignorant extremist rhetoric as a new kind of political discourse in our country. It will damage our country beyond repair. The Māori Party pales in comparison to the great past Māori leaders such as Carrol, Ngata, Pomare and Buck – so much so that they never even mention their names.

Those great Māori leaders all wanted unity for everyone in New Zealand - not separatism.

Our government can fix the economy, infrastructure, law and order, and the education and health systems, but if we don’t fix this separatist agenda from the extreme corners of our political system, all of that will be for nought. We will be on a pathway to becoming the next Venezuela or like the former apartheid South Africa.

Our government intends to fix all of these things for New Zealand to lift every New Zealander, Māori and non-Māori – together as one.

That is the only way our country will succeed.
