I'am a New Zealander.,My first family arrived here in 1843,the next 1873,my grandchildren are 5th generation Kiwis.We are one NZ.Lets keep it that way.

Te Pati Maori ain't representing me AT ALL...To radical

Blow me over. Buddy talking sense and the truth.

Thanks for hosting Buddy Mikaera, he reminds that Maori politics is not a complete monolith and that there is a diversity of voices within the community.

That party needs to be disbanded. I’m not impressed with this current government that keeps sitting on their hands for some reason. I keep seeing the picture of Luxton looking out the window during the Covid protest. No one came to speak to them accept Winston.

Me too; Maori male. A divided country always leads to strife and even war. Instead, we should all work together for the betterment of everyone here; like I heard Winston say the other day. But what do I know; I'm just a kid 😅

The louder the whinge the less public support there is generally

Good to hear Buddy back on the show. He is a true New Zealander.

This whole thing stinks of Ardern and Clarke

Te Pati Maori are representing their own pockets.

Sounds like buddy should be in the government. A very level headed person.

Luxon's response to all this has been very disappointing though not unexpected. He needs to get some guts and call this all out for what it is and a breach of their oath to Parliament.

They are dreaming wanting there own parliament. Telling kiwis, we are guests to this country. Our families built and developed

It’s all Tamahire’s plan. He knows he’s facing prosecution for his misuse of funds, electorate fraud, mismanagement, dishonesty etc. He knows his Māori Party has no traction in parliament and they aren’t going to deliver him any rewards. So plan B A separate parliament where he will claim immunity from prosecution. That parliament would be headed by the Maori party which he is head of. Essentially making him the top dog of their utopia. He likes to get his own way and will not go down without a fight. He’ll use the race card even after it’s maxed out. He’ll be busy now garnering support from various iwi groups to criminal gangs . Corner him and he’ll go gung-ho.

thanks buddy for calming this sort of thing down.

All of us are from settlers. Almost all of us are mixed from Oceania and the early Euro settlers. We do need to slow down on immigrants though, they send earnings out of the country, get our passports and dash off to greener grasses overseas. Meanwhile our young have lost hope in buying a home and starting families with Kiwi children, that we desperately need, unless their parents can pay. Real Kiwis only have one country we call home and always return to our families here if we do an OE. Its the immigrants leaving by the thousands, not us. Stop investing in this endless cycle and start supporting all Kiwis, part Maori and Non Maori.

The way I see it didn't everyone come to New Zealand by ship/boat or floating tree

I love our Kiwi and Maori culture, it's what makes us uniquely New Zealand. And as New Zealanders, we are all privileged to live in this first world country built on the backs of all our tupuna/ancestors within a colonial system. A system that provides free education, healthcare, welfare and superannuation. If you were born in India, none of these are provided. A system that has tried for decades to right the wrongs of our colonial forebears with land settlements, Marae upgrades, access to tertiary education, free alchohol drug and mental health facilities run by Maori for Maori. Maori health providers are also funded by tax payers. When will Maori realize that despite a history of some bad behavior on the part of pakeha, we love you. You are inherently connected to our identity. We don't want discord, we want peace, unity and the space for all cultures to express their unique beauty. Just a thought.

They do not represent me either!!

te patty love the colonialist fruits... look at how they embrace nice houses, nice cars, nice clothes, air travel, all expenses paid travel and the money... love the free money

Sensible conversation. New Zealanders don't need racial division.

I appreciate Buddy's wise common sense. Thank you for the interview Sean. We need more Buddies!!!

TPM certainly isn't representing me! They are way too radical for my liking

As our media and police are woke nothing ever happens to them

Separate Maori Parliament? Sure. All you would need is the abrogation of Article One of the Treaty. The only problem with that might be the cancellation of Article Three.

Good interview. Sadly it seems to non-maori that the maori party are speaking for maori. Hence the concern.

I wonder if the Maori party actually has more support from liberal hand wringing europeans and Greens than the average Maori.

This time feels different. The Maori party seem to have the backing of the UN (UNDRIP). Wouldn't surprise me if they've been through training with the UN & WEF. Same with the MSM too.

We need to move forward. To remain loyal members of the commonwealth- but to find out how the nation as a whole- can express a sense of sovereignty. To embrace our own identity here...

Q: How do you know you if are sharing a flight with Te Pati Maori members? A: When the pilot turns the engines off you can still hear the whining

Buddy is someone who would be better suited to representing maori interests, rather the rawiri shill..

Jeez, he's not sounding Maori enough for the Cow Patty Party or Labour for that matter.Good interview Sean finally a senior Maori figure talking sense, let's hope a lot more of them come out in an effort to stop the horrible racist nonsense that is going on in our lovely little country.

I'm really glad this conversation happened, it's too easy to get caught up in the headlines, specially when it's been made out that ALL Maori think this way by the MSM. I personally think it would be hilarious to watch Te Pati Maori try and start their own Government and watch as they figure out how complicated it actually is and they don't know what they are doing.

I’m just so tired of the us and them mentality. Most maori are now less than 50% so it’s time these Te Part maori party move on and did something for the betterment of New Zealand instead of creating racism and ill feeling.

Te Pāti Māori need to stop dividing our country and its people. Not all Māori agree with the way Te Pāti Māori are addressing the political issues.

Thank you Buddy.

About time some one like Buddy speaks out. Why can't more join him and cancel the activists out

The whole Earth and all of us are amazing and special. Stop this crap of one with another. Love to each and every one.

Maori aren't some united group-remember a lot of the tribes were at war & bitter enemies of each other before & even after the British arrived..

Trust Maori don't want a separate Māori government it will not be good for anyone.

Quite a history about the Maori - put the Inca's or the Aztecs to shame in degeneration. Outcast from the Cook Islands during the 13th century as weaker primitive Neolithic people by later waves of Polynesians (Maori were from the original wave of primitive Polynesians pushed right out across the Eastern Pacific by successive stronger more advanced groups arriving from the west). They were outcast on rafts and some floated to the North East Coast of NZ driven by the South Equatorial Current and were stranded for 500 years. The weaker were pushed down to the South Island or Chathams etc. So the South Island Maori (had their own language) were the weakest of the weak. They were captured and eaten as 'Slave flesh' by the northern Maori doing raids. (Well they all ate each other - 80% of Maori pre European were dark skinned easily fattened slaves farmed and eaten by a lighter skinned 'Ariki' thin wiry elite royal caste). So it was with some righteousness as well as British cunning that they armed the southern Maori who then with muskets launched a genocidal war on the north.. That plus measles & flu halved the Maori population and removed most of the elite. The British then liberated the slaves and outlawed cannibalism. The northern Maori fought with the British against the south bad west Maori 'rebels'. The Maori sued for peace and a treaty was signed that removed all sovereignty and made them subjects to the English crown where the English would protect them from each other. Land could only be sold to or via the Crown. Maori could live on their reservations with native custom but none did. The treaty of Waitangi is strikingly clear in that the Maori cede sovereignty completely and become citizens of Great Britain - all 3 clauses lock that in. Nothing in today's 'Maori' culture is authentic. The music - all European (Maoris did not have tonal music, the songs are missionary tunes or introduced - Poi dance is from Islands and Stick dance from old Malaya. The carvings and art - all European - Arabesques that was the fashion at the time. Original Maori had limited dash carving and no painting of objects. No written language - all the syntax & grammar plus vowel inflection is European. No technology - some lagoon canoes and wood or stone Neolithic tools. No food sources - like pigs or crops - they left that all behind, all they had was a weak inbred fox (now extinct), some rats and a weak dismal pacific yam. They ate out all the bird-life including 10 species of Moa and 46 other bird species, didn't know how to farm the sea as were island people and so they turned to societal cannibalism. Today - no full blood or half blood left. No genuine tradition and almost all are offspring of Maori slave females sold to white settlers for muskets or food. -So more fake than the 'Sioux' or 'Cherokee' or 'Crow' who had at least retained some genuineness about who they were and their history. -Everything you 'saw or experienced' is fake. A totally convected disneyfied tokenistic set of inventions fueled by a grievance culture of mixed-race imposters fetishing a false past bad history because it pays benefits.

Its about time Pakeha had funding to brand our marginalised race

Ah yes, if they didn't have double standards they'd have none at all. Personally I'd love to have a separate parliament provided they have a separate taxation system so we don't have to keep subsidising these lunatics.

of course the kingitanga is morbidly afraid of a separate Maori Parliament. his turangawaiwai gravy train will disappear in a brown puff of smoke under a maori parliament which will not be able to demand funds or anything else from the so called colonial oppressors any more thats for sure! hopefully theres a nationwide vote on it because the colonialists will be 100% behind it @@@!!

I think its high time a new maori party was formed that represents those sensible, responsible hard working maori that are prepared to honour Te Tiriti section 2 that ALL New Zealanders are equal.. I have 2 sons and a daughter and they are all part-maori,.. I want them to be proud of their maori heritage , not embarrassed by it ...

Those. mourees did THEIR * WALK* . BEFORE the Budget was even Delivered. Work that out folks

At last, it's encouraging to see Maori coming out not in support of TPM. I liked Buddy's analogy that TPM doesn't represent all Maori any more than David Seymour represents all non-Maori. Nor does any single Party! Fortunately, the adults in parliament can cope with differences of opinion, without having to threaten to tear the place apart. The solution is to dissolve the Maori electorates, as promised when MMP was being considered, which will help take the focus away from the separatism TPM that needs, to remain relevant. It'll fade away as other Maori realise there is more to be gained by all pulling in the same general direction.

Investigate Tamahere

Lots of talk that we can’t blame all Māori for the actions of the tpm . Does that mean we can stop blaming white folk for the actions of people who lived almost 200 years ago ?

Give em what they want !! Then sit back and watch the show.

😂 been on the pipe 😂.. I agree with you Sean, how else did her husband drop all his weight aswell, doubt it was running or eating less

Yes the Nats in particular are being very passive at the moment. Avoiding the hard calls as was always suspected.

Gee I've developed a bit of respect for Buddy with this interview, good to hear from him. Cheers Sean.

Just a correction: Tuheitia is not 'the maori king'. He is a Maori, who some people call king. That's it, and that's all.

Remember it was the national John Key government that ceeded millions of public funded and managed conservation land to the modern regional tribal representatives. For example Waikaremoana. After which tribal radicals promptly burned down 50 conservation tramping fishing and hunting shelters, in spite? To decolinise the area. I discussed this with moari identifying university graduate professionals who stated "it's maori land they cam do what they want." My response was hypothermia is colour blind.

Thankyou Buddy you talk sence.

Te Pati Maori may well implode from within. Some party members and its supporters may walk away from the bad publicity they are getting.

Sean how about wait until he answers the question instead of answering it for him

The only.problem i see with a seperate maori parliment is whos going to fund it

The Crown has nothing to fear. Fear is a sign of weakness.

It's not the first time the maurewa marae has had controversy

Thanks buddy

(Need to check that Rotorua Lot out too) Rawiri's crew i did my cencus 3 weeks later i get mail saying we see your maori ad on the general roll we would like you to change to maori roll ! I was like how did these people get my personal infomation ?

Theres one thing working class Maori and lower class Maori agree on, neither votes Te Pati Maori

Kaipa te nga korero , boys . Keep it up , Buddy N great interview Shaun 😅

Mainstream media need to start focussing on paying the bills, that means covering both sides of the story, and covering them from the people's point of view not their bizarre woke lens

Too much money for too long!!!

I was so disgusted by 'her' swearing rant. I'm never gonna use a swear word after hearing her.

let them fund their own parliament, won't get far

We have to go to the source of the discussion. At present we live in a democracy with a capitalist economy. The Maori party and their connected activists have no plan other than to destroy our society, that fact supported by the evidence that no county on earth has a successful alternative model. A confused mix of communism and tribal royalty is likely their only plan, but never discussed. Because they know all the alternatives have failed and legacy media will even ask the basic question, the Maori party cannot answer. Of course they will suggest real communism hasn’t been tried yet. Or what’s wrong with Maori royalty running New Zealand, while banging on about the evils of colonialism. Simply they are the malcontent loosers without a plan.

they had one out the back of Graytown

Te Pati Maori party needs to be kicked out they don't represent mainstream Maori just activists

So who's going to pay back the wage.

Jack Tame…publicity , and viewers. No viewers no Jack…

I really just want a safer community to live in. With out the bullying and blackmailing and extortion and crime. With hate crimes and. Fraud. It’s time to make. New Zealand safer. And to be honest. I surport the police and law enforcement. Only in life now. As I see this as tue way. To get a safer New Zealand 🇳🇿.

91% of voters didnt vote for Act so I guess thats true & the count was a million protestors walking with Te Pati which was unexpected ? very interesting indeed

I changed from Maori Roll to General Roll. They most certainly do not speak for me or other Maori like myself.

I really love to weigh I. On this. 0:15 0:15 0:15 0:15 0:15 0:15 but I won’t. As I am a responsible citizen at present. But I did lisen. To the podcast. Thu

They are dreaming 🙄

I don't agree with Buddy Mikaere, but I respect him. Give me a call I'd like you to interview me @Sean or @Leah

Crooked as a dogs hind leg is TPM

I know I am immature when I say this, but every time Sean says Buddy, the only thing I can think is "I'm not your buddy, pal."

We need contrary opinions- plenty here. An outlet for people's views. What not?

We always here "Maori want this" or "Maori want that" but you cannot talk for every person who identifies as Maori! No Eurokiwi politician ever say "Pakehs/New Zealanders want this or that, it is a very strange way to try to drag every Maori into the debate on their side. Say I want, our Party wants but don't push every free thinking Maori into these demands!

TPM do not represent all Maori ,,,,thank god😂

A Maori Parliament would never get off the ground due to the ego trip all the Tea Party Maori members are individually on and the clashes between them would be like restarting the Maori Wars.

Crabs in a bucket

WEF UN Maori Pati. Sir Pita got a powhiri at te Marae UN in 2010 prior to selling a Maori voice to the UN without informing Maori. UN Indigenous Tenure Trap.

Divide and rule. Short live Claus Schwab and Noah Yuval Harare.

The only ones sooking about TPM is who?? How is TPM effecting your life??🤦🏽‍♀️😂🤣

Kiri had the best speech ever I thought

Pure flatulencies. Blowing off in all directions!

What’s that even supposed to mean??🤣😂

The political parties. Are. Going for it at present. Dame. Lots goin on in the new. Too. I don’t buy a paper. But I do. Watch. Tv news. When I can.

Deflection 101

4:28 4:28 4:29 oh. Dame. 😊

Tea Party have no credibility. To be taken seriously they must earn respect and credibility. What a cowboy-hatted clown show ! (Or is it the Morecambe and Wise show ?)

I turned 60 this year, the generalizing/stereotyping of the Māori race is not new to me. It's become normalized to do this. Being 90% English, but automatically recorded as Māori, through government box ticking. Guess which side I will stand with??. Btw, why are we ticking ethnic boxes, when they're not even accurate??

On this I agree with Buddy

6 Feb. 1840 maori chiefs ceded sovereignty to the crown and went on to sell 92% of New Zealand 🇳🇿. It's time to end co governance, it is divisive and a financial rort. Waititis rants make every thing else seem legit.
