What I’d say to you is, NZers are not focused on whether I front up to the media or not, or whether my leadership within my party is fractious. I will be the one that tells them what they should be focusing on and what hard questions should be asked of me!

@HarrisonMooreNZ @ZoomerHistorian Now Harrison. You are displaying a complete ignorance of the history of Māori and New Zealand. Read an actual book instead of riffing badly on X. I have some that I would be happy to lend you, then we can have informed debate.
@HarrisonMooreNZ @RobinBGrieve I think you mean “they’re” it’s a contraction of “they are” Harrison. Be careful about that glass house. In Māori it would be “tō rātou reo” - their language. Most of us have no problem with it, in fact I find it really fun to learn a new language. Maybe you should try it.
@ElliotIkilei A handful!? There are 2500 schools in Aotearoa and as of today over 1000 had signed up saying that they would still give effect to Treaty obligations - that’s hardly a handful. No school mission statement mentions English or Maths. Have you even read one? #misinformation

@vcdxnz001@KiwiStreamNZ Except for the fact that Māori language classes for adults are a totally chock full all around Aotearoa. And mostly full of Pākehā. There’s a lot of ‘utility’ in knowing some Māori in NZ and given the way our demographics are changing a little can go a long way.
