  2.  @briankelly5828  -1.3 million hectares stolen by the Crown. -Maori disproportionately poorer than Pakeha. -Maori life expectancy ten years lower. -Making arguments with the poorly educated rarely educates them. There's some facts for you.

  4.  @bobsemple07  Yes, and fixing it is addressing SYSTEMIC issues.

  5. Nah, doesn't seem like it really. Perhaps you need some history and law lessons.

  6. No, he doesn't. You need a better education.

  7.  @bighorn1994  Nah, it's Seymour and his voters who should leave. Their racism against tangata whenua doesn't belong here. Speaking as tangata te tiriti myself.

  8. Nah.. No one needs to hear that shit.

  9.  @lesrestall807  LOL. Well you certainly didn't.

  10.  @naisyjohns  Oh yeah, so what are they doing then? Enlighten us.

  11. LOL. Incorrect. She should be forced to get an education.

  12.  @peterlattimore6013  I'm an adult educator. I educate the poorly educated over the internet.

  13.  @dillianwhyte443  Go back to school.

  14. LOL

  15.  @throughput6674  True that. I just wish David Seymour had learned more before he opened his ignorant mouth. Tautoko.

  16.  @dillianwhyte443  Because 1) I don't get paid to educate you, and 2) I don't want to listen to Winston First babble on again. Educate yourself.

  17. Seek help.

  18.  @naisyjohns  Nah, nah, nah.. They say they want to have a "conversation" about the treaty.. To their supporters, that seems to mean getting rid of certain aspects of how the government functions with regard to Maori, e.g. the Maori health authority. And built into this "conversation" is white supremacy, and ignorance of international treaty law, because they're talking about the "treaty" and not "te tiriti", and in accordance with international treaty law, te tiriti is the only one that matters.

  19. Ok, racist. Europe is that way. Haere ra!

  20.  @bobsemple07  Nah, there is, his "discussion" is just racist dog whistling.

  23.  @briankelly5828  1. Nonsense. 2. Why do you think that is? Are you dense? 3. Yes, and that s the point of the Maori health authority to try and change those things that don't change overnight. 4. The problem with Aotearoa's economy is that wages and benefits haven't kept up with worker productivity or inflation for four decades. That's what really depresses incomes. 5. LOL. Hilarious. As if it is me who needs to read more Michael King. You're the one being too simplistic. Which is ridiculous if you've actually read what you say you've read. 6. Go back to school.

  24.  @marcusworrall3386  Yeah, for sure. Most of the land theft was after that too. They tried to justify it by claiming it was about aggression from Maori, but a lot of that was from tribes that didn't sign the treaty, so they were within their rights to respond to British settlers encroaching on their territory.

  25. Being economically left wing is a prerequisite for being pro environmental protectionist. Not to mention being pro human rights, which the Greens are, because what other reason other than humanism would one have to be pro environmental protectionist. This isn't the own you think it is.

  26.  @rockyjones2563  Not really. Labour have been a center right neoliberals party since the 80s, and as such we've had four decades of wages and benefits not keeping up with worker productivity and inflation, which has contributed to a rise in poverty and a housing crisis. They didn't just legalize cannabis instead of putting it to a bullshit referendum, which would have been the right thing to do based on the evidence. The only good thing they handled well was COVID, but they still managed the economy better than any National government would too, but of course the poorly educated don't understand any of that.

  27. No, that's not what's happening at all. International law stipulates that with treaties like Te Tiriti, the indigenous language version is the one that is to be recognized, and in Te Tiriti Maori never seceded sovereignty, so realistically 50% of parliament should be made up of Maori seats. Seymour and Luxon are trying to dishonour tangata te tiriti's end of the deal, and as tangata te tiriti myself, I find that disgusting. We need to honour what the Crown signed us up for and give Maori the 50% of power that Te Tiriti ensures. Not try to destroy Te Tiriti altogether like they're trying to do.

  28. The Crown = the Government. Go back to school.

  30. Did Bridges just use the ol' Trump "they were laughing with me, not at me" bit?.. LOL.

  31.  @21kiwi24  You need a better education. International law stipulates that we defer to the indigenous language version or treaties, and in Te Tiriti, Maori never seceded sovereignty. Also, not all Maori tribes signed the treaty, so the ones who took up arms were entitled to, and to top that off, the Crown stole some lands from some tribes BEFORE they ever took up arms.

  32.  @lesrestall807  LOL. You shouldn't. This government is bad for this country.

  33.  @simplygreen5832  Yes, because it is dysfunctional. And that's not antisemitic because Palestinians are semitic too.

  34. Actually, as per Te Tiriti, there should be more Maori seats so they make up 50% of the seats in parliament. Unless you think we pakeha shouldn't stick to the deal we made? Interestingly though, you're right about them being racist, because they were created when Maori were still the majority of the population in order to disenfranchise Maori. Need to fix that by increasing them from 7 to 60.

  35. TBF, most of you are poorly educated.

  36. Thought you guys wanted us all to be one people? What happened to that? They can't involve themselves in elements of the introduced culture?

  37.  @AmonAnon-vw3hr  No, people expecting journalists to be unbiased is cringe. We should expect them to be objective, and if they were objective, they would be much more biased towards Chloe. But being smart is commonly accepted to be "cringe" so I guess wrong is right, and right is wrong.

  38. Because this is Aotearoa.

  39.  @Hog-iv7tj  Our schools aren't that great, as they seem to have failed many of you racists.

  40. Ok, racist.

  41. Go back to school.

  42. LOL. You've mislead yourself there, then.. They just showed you the STATISTICS. Your anecdotal perceptions are shit.

  43.  @aaronmarsh873  Well you obviously haven't read enough of them because a few of them contain facts. I'm less interested in arguments, because arguing with the poorly educated often makes both parties look stupid. Also, I wasn't screaming in any of them, so your ignorant perceptions are about as fact based as David Seymour's dog whistling. Go back to school.

  44. So the cops are just sitting on 200K?.. TF?.. If you look or wait around a bit, I think you should be able to pocket it.. I lost my wallet recently with a few hundred cash in it, nobody returned to me even though it had my license inside it. If you've got something to go on, you should return it, but if not..

  45. We're fucked. We'll be a third world country soon.

  46.  @throughput6674  LOL. We don't have any socialists. Labour have been a center right neoliberal party since 1984, and the Greens are center left social democrats. Please educate yourself.

  47. I doubt they are fake accounts. This country is extremely poorly educated.
