Well, we could all benefit from a New Testament…

They wouldn't have led them in the presence of their own men. Too dangerous. It's the same with the wero when welcoming onto the marae. The karanga (female) calls from a place of safety, while the males go and check the manuhiri out. If speeches are held out on the marea atea (sacred spot in front of the wharenui) it would also be unusual for women to speak, as that too was a dangerous place. That is my understanding.
Things can get feisty during a powhiri. Sometimes they don't go well. Not common, but it happens. The Ngati Whatua/Tainui verbal stoush at Matatini last year is an example.
Another woke leftist academic appointee by Labour uncovered.
So WTF are they teaching at the universities?

Just a neutral academic
For those who can't see the graphics, the co-chair of the Health Coalition Aotearoa (Professor Lisa Te Morenga - Massey University) tweeted:
We now have a fascist white supremacist government
She hopes David Seymour never breeds
The Government has a deliberate policy to kill off Maori
Yet this person gets treated by the media as a neutral expert, with masses of air and print time. Now imagine a right leaning academic said the Ardern Government was a Marxist racist Government, how Jacinda should never breed, and they have a deliberate policy to kill off Europeans. How much media space would that person get – zero right. They would rightfully be dismissed as an extremist.
People have every right to be an extremist. It's good we get to see how deranged some of these people are. But lets not pretend they are neutral experts.

Property investors to get slightly less tax relief than promised in National-Act coalition agreement
And the likely reason behind this - Labour must have left things in one h4ll of an unholy F&&&&n mess far worse than was imagined ;)
Definitely how I’m reading this move too.
Meanwhile the NZH Headlines mail out linked to earlier URL headlines that page like this:
'Landlords will become tax cut millionaires': Govt's investor relief policy under fire
Guess the NZH back office news mice never stopped to cast one thought on this having been taken away / stolen from Landlords in the first place by Labour's Master Fiscal Big A-Hole & expert on digging large holes - Robbo in one unprecedented abnoxious shot from the hip ;)
Time for some of the NZH News Hole of Clueless Left slanting peanuts to go down the road next week ? ;)
It seems to popular stance among media operators of recent times counting the pennies and assessing their mice .. why should NZH excuse itself from expelling a bit of woefully defective wanting talent while everyone else is doing the same ? ;)
Great spin ir otherwise called BS.
Easy to say they have done something in their first 100 days, ahh but actually that won't kick in for another year.
If they thought it was the right thing to do & I believe it is as well, they should have done it straight away.
A healthy 4th estate is critical for any functioning democracy. There are plenty of right wingers that report for the Herald as well.
The mooted social media company levy makes a lot of sense to me. Social media companies pay influencers from advertising revenue generated. Well they should be doing something similar for the media companies.
The real BS was spun when the Great Left A-Wipe & Largest Hole of modern times pulled the string on the deduction in first place b*llsh!tting all that it was the Private LL faction to blame foe everything all along .. Since then, the woeful state of Labour's grandiose & clueless efforts on homelessness, housing, poverty has been laid bare for all to see ;)
Strangely few of Labour's past dreaming & squatting talent responsible for the shambles have been game to open their silly little cakeholes since ;)
