I’m reaching out to ask you to take just one minute out of your day to sign an important petition. This is about more than politics, it’s about holding power to account and putting an end to the Tamihere Dynasty once and for all.
Hmmmmm..... the petition is "authored" by the Te Tai Tonga electorate executive, which just happens to be Takuta Ferris' electorate.... one of the "dissidents" along with the Kapa-Kingis, calling for Tamihere to resign for the same things they themselves are practising.....
No way am I signing something that will support either side in this ridiculous spat. I only hope that the party will tear itself apart and maybe in the aftermath, something with more integrity and mana will arise.
Fair enough. If there was a petition to remove Ferris and Kapa-Kingi, I’d sign that too. I don’t want any of them in parliament. Getting rid of Tamihere is just like cutting off the head of the snake.
I was going to sign, but I'm concerned who will have access to my name and where that information will end up. Cowardly, but also self preservation due to connections.
Egos in this raruraru will ensure a bitter ending. Yay.
We can petition for Tamahere's removal, but that doesn't resolve the issue of a tribal system where the few ruling elite get the best pickings and make decisions for their people (fractional descendants of pre-colonised maori) and slaves (all others/non-maori).
My son has protested by moving off maori roll and back to general roll.
The petition is a start. I think everyone can agree Tamihere is a grifter and shouldn’t be in politics. Removing the race-based seats is the bigger goal, but small steps like this may just make a difference.
They are doing a great job in letting all their dirty laundry into the public domain.
Too many egos that don't want to back down no matter what.
In the end its about saving face and having humility...so you know that's not going to happen on either side, I say burn baby burn, and Ill get some marshmallows.

It asks me to confirm I’m a paid up member of Te Pati?
You can write no, you don't have to be a paid member to sign.

Not signing. I’m happy for them to implode.
That's what I think too.
