    This is party politics at play - with Labour competing with the Maori
    Party - but nonetheless there is some sanity coming in to play with
    some parts of Maoridom

    This is only reporting half of the speech Willie Jackson gave in
    Parliament in the debate on the punitive punishment handed out to the
    three Maori Party MPs. This is not a new speech by Jackson, but only
    half of what he said.

    Wrong. This is an article that the Centrist summarised and cited in
    the Herald. It covers an interview Jackson gave to the Herald
    columnist. There is no mention of any speech in Parliament and
    therefore you cannot be correct.

    The reality is that the Maori MPs were right not
    to apologise for the ACT1stNats deliberately misunderstanding the Haka
    - it was a protest against the deliberate racism of the Government
    parties - illustrated by the anti-Maori speeches given by MPs from all
    three parties with their excessive anti-Maori rhetoric.

    This is no new "coming to play' but old news re-hashed by a far-right >propaganda website, who may be "centrist" in relation to the far-right >interests that it supports, but it is really cheap further attacks on
    Te Pati Maori.

    With hindsight, Te Pati Maori probably should have raised in the house
    the desirability of Parliament being a safe place for the
    demonstration of interests of different cultural and racial groups - >expression of concern can be made, as it was in this case, in a way
    that reflects the cultural heritage of different peoples that make up
    our nation - we are not as an ACT MP Claimed a wholly British society,
    and parliament should represent all New Zealanders, whether they come
    from Maori, Indian or Pakeha backgrounds. The appropriate use of a
    Haka for both celebration and as a challenge (as it is given in our
    society) should not be cause for anger and recriminations and blatant
    racism as represented by "The Centrist." They did not make those >representations first however, and it is reasonable to ask first why
    it provoked such a strong reaction as to discredit the role of New
    Zealand in working in harmony with different racial and social groups.
    The three MPS could also have given a 'false apology' by regretting
    the distress that their culture affords the racist members of the
    house, but that would have hardly endeared then to those MPs either -
    better to just make the demonstration in a way that best represented
    the feelings of their constituency - that is after all the real
    purpose of their being in parliament.

    All off-topic. This is about what Jackson said, not about the antics
    of the Maori Party MPs or your thoughts on organisations such as the
    Centrist.

    Excellent, Willie is ever the pragmatist.
    This sums it up for me.
    “They agreed to the rules when they came in. They can use Parliament to change them — but they need to work within the system.”

    All you are doing is asserting that Willie Jackson is consistent when
    he spoke to The Herald - listen to what he said in the house - it was
    the same message; although "The Centrist" have only quoted the bits
    they liked . . .

    Why was the second sentence deleted?

    No it is not habitual.

    You did say “It is as much a reality as any post to nz.general”, did you not?

    In context, it was appropriate - deliberate breaking up of a thread
    does tend to result in a bit of drift off topic, don't you think - and
    that is as much a reality as any post to nz.general as well. Now all
    we need is an argument about getting off topic . . . .

    The fact remains, you didn’t make that clear. Accidentally or
    deliberately? Your later excuse seemed to suggest it was a habitual kind
    of statement for you.

    No it is not habitual. Your selective snipping is getting Tony
    confused however.
    Nothing that you or Lawrence could ever post would confuse me. You still have nor cenceded your silly (deliberate?) mistake. And never will methinks.

    You used the word “reality”, as though to claim what you were saying was “reality”. You were trying to excuse the nonsense you were spouting on the basis that nz.general is already full of nonsense.

    That you wanted to simply add to the nonsense, instead of rise above it, reflects badly on you.
