Kīngitanga shunned by Phil Goff comment 

Bull sh.t

@Damon Manda 👌

Any excuse

Jeez man weren't you listening to a bloody word he was saying? Did your ears only hear pakeha? Watch the bloody thing again lol 😅

@Steve Otene maybe it's you who needs to clean his taringa out.

​@@gazzadude2258 maybe its you who is the immigrant.

Pakeha are from Europe somewhere lol. Not here in Aotearoa lol or the Pacific.

Who are you?! Who are you to assume the Māori Monarch was created like that? First of all, It wasn’t handed on no plate by the white government. Wiremu Tamihana, along with a bunch of chiefs from the WHOLE NATION agreed to elect Potatau Te Wherowhero of Waikato, as Māori King. We are a non constitutional Monarchy, we don’t have any similarities with your white kingdoms as far as Tikanga (Tradition). Our people wanted a King/Queen so we could have a powerful influential person to bring us all together, despite the westerly ways positioning the Whenua. Get a grip! & a life, most Māori do know who Kingi Tuheitia is. And the ones that don’t probably live in the big cities & don’t really know that much, due to colonisation mind you. So it’s great we have a leader, a king, to bring us all together and to protect our culture. Thank you.

Eh keyboard warrior, Firstly, you failed to take 5 minutes to read the creation of the kingitanga movement. Secondly, you might have to be related to a royal bloodline to inherit the position, but you don't need to be king (or queen) to invade a Kingdom and claim the right to rule. If you are declared King by the people, you are declared King, or if you conquer and declare yourself King successfully with an iron fist, then you are still King. Thirdly, it is not true that all maori tribes agreed on the movement however a substantial amount did. Has turned out for the better. In fact, in my estimation, it would have been far more beneficial for the maori people to have created the movement in the beginning, not near the end.

@lonz332 you just said it yourself, he was elected, any number of chiefs were given that option to unite the people, go cry me a river

@patsav6718 eh rubbish I know exactly how the movement started, any number of Chiefs were given that option, if you think Maori Monarchy was Tainui right, Wiremu Tamehana wouldn't have needed to travel the countryside looking for a king so fark your Bullshit ideology

A windscreen wiper (Commonwealth English) or windshield wiper (American English) is a device used to remove rain, snow, ice, washer fluid, water, or debris from a vehicle's front window. Almost all motor vehicles, including cars, trucks, buses, train locomotives, and watercraft with a cabin-and some aircraft-are equipped with one or more such wipers, which are usually a legal requirement. A wiper generally consists of a metal arm; one end pivots, and the other end has a long rubber blade attached to it. The arm is powered by a motor, often an electric motor, although pneumatic power is also used for some vehicles. The blade is swung back and forth over the glass, pushing water, other precipitation, or any other impediments to visibility from its surface. The speed is usually adjustable on vehicles made after 1969, with several continuous rates and often one or more intermittent settings. Most personal automobiles use two synchronized radial-type arms, while many commercial vehicles use one or more pantograph arms.

if the king of Nothing feels so disrespected please feel free to get on the fist plane back to AKL at his expense not mine but then there wouldnt be an oppo to bitch about something and since everything offends them its pretty hard to not say the wrong thing

...I thought it way more disrespectful how the moaris spoke to him and treated him after. I'm no Labour guy but Goff has been a genuine long serving servant of NZ for decades and deserves more respect than these self servinf moaris who are busy dividing this great nation for their own gains

dont worry 99.9% of could not give a toss...

What a dumb thing to say

But he's white, he ain't our king. He's not even Polynesian.

Yep. The King does not live here.

​@chastito6063 kingitanga isn't even king of all maori bro. He's not even a king at all he's just a regular bloke with his mates role playing as a king. That he was even invited is a joke lol. The most powerful iwi in nz don't even recognise him

He was being sarcastic. Asking "hands up those of you who have attended a coronation", he was implying that of course no one had. Sure it wasn't done with hate, but it was disrespectful and classless. The Kīngitanga has played a significant role in NZs history, and deservers better from government reps.

P Goff is the Wrong man for the job !

@@gooser2583 yeah but that guy tuned up all the white boys in front of the camera, surely there’s a better way to do it. Monarchies are all outdated bullshit anyway, my 6th greats grandfather was Tawhiao and there was a reason he started it at the time, but now it’s just as pointless as the British monarchy, who needs it? Tainui didn’t share the money with their people anyway. I’m all for restoring the culture, but the way everyone is going about it, is only going to cause more tension between Māori and pakeha

Better to explain to them where they went wrong instead of shutting up and saying nothing. And it was done in a pretty good way. It's not like he told them they're all a pack of arseholes now did he? Lol 😅😅😅

Yes always looking to be offend,wanting to play the victim

Awww nemine crybaby lol 😅😅😅

@@MaoriMan76 Hey Steve, genuinely, thanks for the English Lesson. Never heard of Nemine, so googled it and now I know.

Don't cry, your an immigrant, we been here for over a thousand years ya overstayer lol.

@@chastito6063 You mean, after you came from Hawaii?

Moari?

@@hellbee105 ....yep, small 'm' as well !

Hmm slow down. Do not trip over your tongue. Like an infant talking. You will get better. C average.

@@OwlTeRoar007 ....are you trying to come across as intelligent or just a bit self-rigteous ?

yeah because the moaris have been in NZ for 50,000 years haven't they ?

@@cspace1234nz 50000 years, that way back, when your people were white monkeys. Lol.

​@cspace1234nz Kupe left Raiatea around 700CE, a few did leave earlier which would of been the Mori Ori but the majority came after Kupe. So 1500 years roughly

@@cspace1234nz it's funny the second time round though we returned and renamed it the long white cloud, it was first named and known as shaking sky when we first encountered the landmass

@@tangoomegaalpha ......my understanding is that moari did not have a name for New Zealand/Aoteroa as such, that both the north and south islands had different names. moaris were not united, they were very separate, often warring, tribes and most were indeed grateful for colonisation as it established relative peace among most tribes. I suppose it depends on which version of history one looks towards doesn't it ?

....yeah exactly, it was pretty light hearted stuff but these moaris seemingly pounce on anything that gets them mileage for their own agenda

Lol 💯 😆 king Charles knows him that's more important don't you think? 🤣

yeah exactly, it's not important to all but a handful

Go to America, they don't have kings. Lol?
