Re: HIKOI KI TAMAKI - Update

Re: HIKOI KI TAMAKI - Update
Knowing about previous announcements and the lack of motivation of most Maori people, this will turn out to be another NON EVENT! I am sorry to say so, but you will see it! Maybe a couple of hundreds of people with bother. Anyway all are too worried about losing their jobs - if they still have one - and putting this demo on a Monday and working day (with all respect to Bastion Point demos) is totally NONSENSICAL! Others will bee too busy sleeping off the hangover from the weekend! So you guys are sadly total losers. Wake up, get your act together and get your people truly motivated, do not let them "
rest" on the corrupt feathers this rotten society still hands out. Those days that this happens will be numbered, and you guys will be the first to notice! Good luck!

yes great to see the organising & building of political links between Tangata whenua & Pasifika in Tamaki, but hard to get excited over Maori Tokenism in the supashitty
Re: HIKOI KI TAMAKI - Update
Say no to the supercity.
Re: HIKOI KI TAMAKI - Update
marching for tokenism is a waste of time Maori & PI should be self determining in their own communities

Re: HIKOI KI TAMAKI - Update
Well, a few thousand participants, made up of Maori, equally concerned Pakehas and members of a range of other ethnic groups in Auckland and from the region is a good start after all. This needs to be kept up and followed by more action, otherwise it will all just be a waste of time. Do not trust the government taking this one march all that serious. If pressured John Key will stick with ACT rather than the Maori Party! Good luck!
