This interview was just 3 days before Te Pāti Māori’s email bombshell. Looking back, it’s crazy how easily Mihingarangi Forbes was played by Rawiri Waititi and Debbie Ngarewa-Packer and how comfortable the Te Pāti Māori co-leaders are with being economical with the truth.

Debbie Ngarewa-Packer and Te Pāti Māori are unable to provide any evidence or name the journalist they claim was hiding in the bushes and jumped out in an ambush, to interview them.

And there you go. Te Pāti Māori and the Greens are effectively doing a deal. Less than 10 hours after I called on the Greens and Te Pāti Māori to stop playing games and be upfront with their supporters and the public, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer has essentially confirmed the deal. Ngarewa-Packer says Te Pāti Māori will “swallow their ego for the good of the nation.” She’s made it crystal clear that her party is focused on securing the candidate votes in their electorates and in doing so, has all but confirmed an arrangement with the Greens. According to the RNZ-Reid Research poll, 49.6% of all voters believe Labour should rule out any deal with Te Pāti Māori. Even worse for Labour: 38% of their own voters want Labour to reject Te Pāti Māori outright. A Greens-Te Pāti Māori deal increases the chances of a chaotic Labour-led coalition and makes Hipkins continual refusal to confirm if Labour will or won’t work with Te Pāti Māori almost inconsequential.

Extraordinary. Rawiri Waititi has just corralled Debbie Ngawera-Packer away from the Te Pāti Māori reset press conference after only 3 minutes, after spitting the dummy over a question from Maiki Sherman. What a train wreck of a reset day!

Chris Hipkins has officially lost control of his party. Just 24 hrs after Hipkins appeared on MATA with Mihingarangi Forbes and failed to commit to working with Te Pāti Māori to change the govt, Willie Jackson and Carmel Sepuloni took matters into their own hands and announced Labour will be working with Te Pāti Māori and “it’s time to put a strategy in place”.

Te Pāti Māori are in damage control after Debbie Ngarewa-Packer said she could work with Winston Peters and NZ First. Meanwhile NZ First has posted on a clip on social media with the comment “We are not wasting our time with a bunch of unreformed losers”.

The Te Pāti Māori co-leaders have accused TVNZ of demonising behaviour and journalist Maiki Sherman of seeking utu. The leaders say trust has been broken, ironically the day after Te Pāti Māori and Oriini Kaipara broke an agreement with the Speaker of the House regarding her swearing in this week.

Te Pāti Māori once again. Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, deliberately breaking the rules to film the protest action from her seat in order to post it to social media. Clearly, the Speaker has no respect and is seen as a soft touch.

Great to see the Prime Minister calmly and rationally dismantle Te Pāti Māori when asked about the atrocious behaviour in the house last Thursday. “I think most kiwis know Te Pāti Māori are activists and they’re just not serious.”

Well, that’s awkward. Trying to play the tough-guy populist by nodding along with useful idiot Mike Hosking about the ‘Māorification’ of New Zealand — “when we see it, we call it out” — then folding into a stammering mess when Te Pāti Māori’s Debbie Ngarewa-Packer calls him out in the House. #nzpol

Te Pāti Māori’s Oriini Kaipara unbelievably searches for her phone mid interview to answer a basic question. What has her party achieved in their last 2 terms of parliament that has materially changed the lives for te iwi māori? Kaipara also claims Te Pāti Māori have repealed quite a few (policies) and are actively repealing more.

Chloe Swarbrick and the Greens in an unofficial deal with Te Pāti Māori? Full-blown rumours are circulating that the Greens are now quietly cooperating with Te Pāti Māori to secure enough seats between them to form part of a Labour-led coalition — while applying collective pressure on Labour for more ambitious, progressive change, rather than risking handing those seats over to Labour. For a political newcomer Tania Waikato sits at a very strong number 13 on the Green Party list. That makes a split vote highly appealing in many Māori electorates: candidate vote for Te Pāti Māori (e.g., Rawiri Waititi in Waiariki), party vote Green. The same strategy applies across other Māori seats — Te Pāti Māori for the candidate, Green for the party. This approach feels especially obvious in Tāmaki Makaurau, where the Greens’ candidate, Florence Te Ohaere, remains a virtual unknown. Here, a party vote for the Greens paired with a candidate vote for sitting MP Oriini Kaipara (Te Pāti Māori) makes perfect strategic sense. As the election draws closer the Greens seem to appearing with Te Pāti Māori MP’s more frequently in social media. Chloe Swarbrick, the Greens, and Te Pāti Māori owe their supporters and the public full honesty and transparency. They should come clean about any collusion or coordination between the two parties

Standing on the stage with Labour Party deputy leader Carmel Sepuloni, other labour MP’s, John Tamihere and Rawiri Waititi, Willie Jackson announces Labour will now work with the Māori party to get rid the govt - directly contradicting his leader, Chris Hipkins. “We will work with the Greens, the Māori party whoever in terms of getting rid of this govt… it’s time to put a strategy in place”. So to be clear, just 3 days ago Hipkins was adamant Te Pāti Maori was being left to sort their own issues out… now they are working together and developing a strategy.

Last week, Marama Davidson was filmed by a colleague happily speeding. Now Te Pāti Māori General Manager Kiri Tamihere-Waititi — wife of party co-leader Rawiri Waititi, has outdone her by some margin. She filmed herself driving on an uneven open road with one of her children in the car, all while creating social media content. In the alarming and nerve-wracking footage, she repeatedly takes her eyes completely off the road to speak directly to the camera. Two weeks earlier, Tamihere-Waititi was filmed driving again — this time without a seatbelt — while creating more social media content. Ironically, during the Christmas break, Rawiri Waititi shared road safety messaging featuring the Te Pāti Māori logo. It is beyond hypocritical for the party’s General Manager to then film herself openly and recklessly flouting the very laws and rules they promote.

“The Māori Party are a bunch of extremists… The one in the cowboy hat… The one shouting down there with the scribbles on his face…” Just two weeks after criticising Parliament as a “house of chaos” and warning that standards had begun slipping, Winston Peters proved his own point today - by directly attacking Te Pāti Māori co-leader Rawiri Waititi with this vile, racist outburst during this afternoon’s fiery debate in the House. Disgraceful. #nzpol

Willie Jackson is a disgrace. Genuine questions concerning a possible Labour/Te Pāti Māori coalition lead to Jackson getting defensive and accusing Ryan Bridge of writing off all Māori. “I know you're trying to write off all the Māori’s, right?” After being called out by Bridge, Jackson doubles down. “No,no you have” Clearly, Labour is feeling the heat from the latest Te Pāti Māori saga.

Rawiri Waititi in yet another manic social media rant, this time over the type of media coverage given to Te Pāti Māori regarding the Manurewa Marae saga etc. Telling media they suck before a party reset announcement later this week is probably not the smartest thing to do.
