Harawira MP Te Tai Tokerau
Gee Buddy, do you believe that white man bull**** too do you?
White mother******* have been raping our lands and ripping us off
for centuries, and all of a sudden you want me to play along with
their puritanical bull****.
I don't often respond to comments like this, but I will to
you.
I put in s**t loads of hours and bucketloads of energy in my
commitment to advancing Maori, and I am happy to put my body, my
freedom, and my personal credibility on the line for that
cause.
And I don't do it because of the salary, or the political position
I hold, or for any other reason than that I believe in fighting for
Maori rights and I love doing what I do.
As far as my wife is concerned - I don't know what your
relationship is with whomever, but my wife is my partner, my
adviser, my critic, and my best friend, and she has marched with
me, fought alongside me, suffered the hard times with me and stood
by me for more than 35 years, so if I get the chance to take her
with me as part of my role as an MP I will.
And quite frankly I don't give a s**t what you or anyone else
thinks about it.
OK?
Hone
PS and if you want to take this to the press, go right ahead. I
answer to my people, not to them or to anybody else.
