WINSTON PETERS: On remarks by Māori Party MP Mariameno Kapa-Kingi

On Wednesday last week Māori Party MP Mariameno Kapa-Kingi gave a general debate speech in the House with this opening sentence, “No matter my words today, the Government will not waver in its mission to exterminate Māori.”

She went on to say, “The theory of the Minister is that Oranga Tamariki’s governing principles should be colour-blind, which is just another word for white supremacy, because to say we are all one people is really to say we should all be white people.”

And “The Government’s reasons to take it away can be summed up in a few short words: racism and Pakeha supremacy.”

These ignorant and offensive accusations leave little to the imagination about the mindset of Kapa-Kingi, her party, and the rest of her fellow cultural travellers - she doesn’t care about what she said, how offensive it is, or how bereft of fact it is.

Kapa-Kingi is either dangerously ignorant or she believes what she said is true. The most frightening thing is its probably both.

By the Māori Party’s own proclamations, the number of Māori in New Zealand total anywhere up to 20% of the population. So why do they think their 3% party vote allows them to speak on behalf of all Māori? It doesn’t.

The Coalition Government’s Cabinet has the largest number of Māori on record.

Just because the Māori Party arrogantly choose to walk into parliament with Huia feathers on their heads and use every speech to repeat ‘colonisation’, ‘oppression’, and ‘white man’s guilt’, doesn’t give them a claim to speak on behalf of Māori – nor do the majority of Māori want them to.

Great Māori leaders of the past like Carroll, Ngata, Pomare, and Buck believed in representing all Māori across New Zealand with a pan-Māori view - working together with all New Zealanders. The Māori Party today are saying “if you are Māori and don’t think like us you aren’t really Māori.”

It shows just how far down the ‘race-based rabbit hole’ these cultural Marxists are willing to take New Zealand and how the media have let them get away with it.

They don’t want democracy, they want anarchy - headed by their Māori elitist cronies turning this country into something akin to apartheid. They would justify this of course because “Māori have superior DNA” as Co-Leader Rawiri Waititi not only said but arrogantly tried to justify.

Kapa-Kingi: Accuses the government of wanting to “exterminate Māori”, of saying the government has theories of “white supremacy”, that the government is saying “we should all be white people”, and government policy is because of “racism and Pakeha supremacy”.

Mainstream media reaction: Zero.

The fact is the Māori Party doesn’t care what they say or how they say it – not least of which is because they get away with it.

The good thing is they are nowhere near government – nor will they ever be.

New Zealand First is going to stop this sort of separatist hate-filled agenda.

New Zealand is one country and one people.
