@KeithFletcher-kb5dv cry all you like. Scream from the top of your lungs, "It's not fair" that these Maori people get treated differently. Maori were certainly treated differently from everyone else for more than 150 years. Successive governments in that time frame tried their best to destroy Maori cultural values, their language, and their dignity. In that time frame, they devised ways to steal as much land as possible. You cry about equality and fairness, and I certainly understand. But with a bit of fortune on our side, it might just take 150 years plus before justice is finally served for you and your Hobson's Pledge buddies.

Years ago at a mutual friends wedding I had the displeasure of sitting at this man's table. 'Thick as a plank' sums up his intellect, and certainly one of the dullest people I've ever met.
The large amount of 'errs' and 'ums' by Drysdale suggests he's very unsure of his ground. Given it by passes any democratic process by virtue of race I believe he's in for a very rocky road ahead. And rightfully so.
This is really bad. Iwi now have not only consultation rights, but also voting rights on council committees. Why cant other groups? According to reports they spouted on about racism and 'helping' democracy. What rubbish. Drysdale is way out of depth. And now iwi want a very expensive museum.

If NZers want to keep their little patch of their own then I urge them to submit a submission. TPM and elite radical activist extremist separatist tribal racist Maori want control of everything by 2040. That is their agenda and ultimate goal.
Like many Mayors and Councillors across the country, Mr Drysdale has no understanding of community engagement principles, clinging to a belief that what legislation may require is all that needs to be done. Shameful.
Seems the mayor hasn’t read the agenda which seems to show a rate per member, not 10k in total. Let’s see where it ends up. But the real issue for me is being given voting rights alongside the councillors we voted for.
I hope Mahe reflects on the comments on this page, which are but a token of the public's thinking. I'm predicting, unless he now achieves something remarkable, he'll be a one term Mayor. What a disappointment. Who would have guessed, world class not only in a waka, but also in being woke. He reminds me of Kieran McAnulty - either a liar or just plain deluded and mischievous about the legislative requirements to have Maori input at the table.
I found the bit where he said that the negative feedback was because the public don't understand the good outcomes that come when they partner with Iwi. Which says 1) People are dumb, leave it up to us savvy council people to rule and 2) He considers it a partnership. Both of which are pretty divisive and subjective viewpoints.
Those of us who have returned for Christmas, will have a short stay, avoiding the media, avoiding the populace. No where is perfect, however, its not hard to find a better place to live. Best of luck nzers. Post script, Mahe is an excellent Olympian, tough as they come. Predictably he is weak of mind when it comes to ideology politics.
Should the headline be Tauranga votes in carpetbagger mayor backed by developers to continue the path of the commissioners and give voting rights to unelected committee members?
The average Olympic rower must spend, on average 15,000 hours rowing. That's 625 consecutive, 24 hours days of non-stop rowing. This means that if you are woke, you can be Mayor of Tauranga.
God when will he understand that the Council is elected to look after the affairs of all Tauranga Ratepayers and Resident, there is nothing wrong in doing a project with a outside partner but it should never be described as Co Governance project
Sean is race baiting and completely misrepresentating the situation. I live in Tauranga and know people within council. Sean is trying to create racial hatred and it's working 😡
Until all rate payer realise councils are just screwing them nothing will change. Councils don't give shit about about how they waste your money. This Maori BS has to end. As with Govt, tax payers and rate payers are being screwed to have all these troughers on board. Has to end.
Sean is race baiting and completely misrepresentating the situation. I live in Tauranga and know people within council. Sean is trying to create racial hatred and it's working 😡
And what exactly does the coalition and specifically Simeon Brown think about this? It would appear from this that Mahe was a world class rower. Anything else not so much. Nice and fluffy and amenable but lacking critical thinking or maybe just pushing that other Maori/Waitangi Tribunal agenda which is coming under the microscope.Sneaking in unelected Maori influence and infection and racial privilege on the side. Nice one Tauranga.
Anyone can be voted into office in this country whatever their race. All that is required is that they can demonstrate their fitness. Many Maoris get directly elected to parliament and local bodies. No special interest groups please.
This nonsense goes back to the view that arose about 10 years ago that Te Papa peninsula up to Gate Pa was not sold by the Maori owners to Archdeacon Brown in 1838 but was given to the Church "in Trust" for future Maori development. So, in recent years we have seen the council "gift" land in Mission Street to Iwi and now "gift" to Iwi, ownership to the land in the CBD on which the new civic centre will be built, which council will lease back. Archdeacon Brown was a lawyer before he became a missionary, and he was very careful to draw up sale and purchase agreements (there were two purchases in all) that were valid legal documents. They are still in existence and can be viewed in various books on the history of early Tauranga. The second purchase, which took the church holdings out to Gate Pa and was the larger, took some 18 months to complete as the Maori owners initially asked for a higher price than Brown was prepared to pay. They later reduced their price and the sale went ahead. Even the Anglican church has bought into the myth the land was held in trust and a few years ago we witnessed the spectacle of an Anglican bishop in his knees begging forgiveness of Iwi for the church not honouring its deal and trashing Brown's reputation in the process.
I HEAR It's happening all the time. They get it on hearsay. Corrupt judicial processes HAVE allowed it to happen. TPM and elite radical activist extremist separatist tribal racist Maori want to take everything by 2040. WAKE UP NEW ZEALAND before it's too late.
If councils don't stop putting up unelected citizens...then you must be removed from that prestigious position. You are there only because of us citizens VOTING FOR YOU...thats it...its time to stop. Stop dancing around the answers...you must consult with the citizens..no one else. End of.
Perfect situation for committing nepotism and that is why it is so essential to have members only elected by the public to participate in council decision making.
What a joke. No one is appointed to council. What is a standing committee if it is not council. Rescind the vote Mahe. Well done Sean. Great questions.
Oh no. I thought he would be more modern. Tauranga gets another dead wood council operating against the interests and wishes of tauranga people. Good questions sean. Mahi, you are the racist, not we nonmaori. Mahi, its all bullshit. What about the turds on sticks at the papamoa end of the causeway, who paid, also the maori sculpture in tauranga for 300000 for a couple of trellises.
Surely begs the question if Mahe and those councillors who voted in favour of this are capable of making decisions for which they were elected. Should resign if they’re not up to it.
He’s sitting there on the side of the road with his car hazard lights flashing while talking to Sean as the rest of Tauranga passes him by. How symbolic.
Drysdale is certainly a bumbling speaker. He was put on the spot and didn't come across with any surety whatsoever. Been a track record he has demonstrated so far. And an umm and arrrh speaker!
He has no idea what he is doing. He is out of his depth.

If NZers want to keep their little patch of their own then I urge them to submit a submission. TPM and elite radical activist extremist separatist tribal racist Maori want control of everything by 2040. That is their agenda and ultimate goal.
Like many Mayors and Councillors across the country, Mr Drysdale has no understanding of community engagement principles, clinging to a belief that what legislation may require is all that needs to be done. Shameful.
Like many crybaby white people on this thread, you haven't understood the founding document of this country.
sounds like Mahe's boat is stuck on autopilot and is heading straight towards the Astrolabe Reef 🤔😋
So it went from, "they cant vote or make desicisions that's still into the council".
To "when they are involved in the desicion"
Seems the mayor hasn’t read the agenda which seems to show a rate per member, not 10k in total. Let’s see where it ends up. But the real issue for me is being given voting rights alongside the councillors we voted for.
I hope Mahe reflects on the comments on this page, which are but a token of the public's thinking. I'm predicting, unless he now achieves something remarkable, he'll be a one term Mayor. What a disappointment. Who would have guessed, world class not only in a waka, but also in being woke. He reminds me of Kieran McAnulty - either a liar or just plain deluded and mischievous about the legislative requirements to have Maori input at the table.
I found the bit where he said that the negative feedback was because the public don't understand the good outcomes that come when they partner with Iwi.
Which says 1) People are dumb, leave it up to us savvy council people to rule and 2) He considers it a partnership.
Both of which are pretty divisive and subjective viewpoints.
One term mayor mahe
This why the Treaty needs to go. It’s pointless
which one???
@@Duckz558 There is only one, fool. Learn it.
Been rowing his waka in the sun for too long. Should change his surname to Newbro.
Those of us who have returned for Christmas, will have a short stay, avoiding the media, avoiding the populace. No where is perfect, however, its not hard to find a better place to live. Best of luck nzers. Post script, Mahe is an excellent Olympian, tough as they come. Predictably he is weak of mind when it comes to ideology politics.
lol you banged the nail on the head‼️ nowhere is perfect because of imperfect people in govt who are but grifters 🎉🎉🎉
Should the headline be Tauranga votes in carpetbagger mayor backed by developers to continue the path of the commissioners and give voting rights to unelected committee members?
Mahi uP shit creek without a paddle 🤷
Woke Mahi shocking.😮
Democracy out the window, NZ'ERS better wake up and stand up, or you will be filling the bags and saying yes sir to allowing Maori to gain control.
well it’s been the opposite for 180yrs
when shouldn’t of been natural facts
@Duckz558
Mate, if you believe in the delusional you will always be deluded, BS is just that BS. and there's plenty coming from where you sit.
@@Duckz558 Possibly a well put comment? That is if anyone could understand it. Sums you up Duckz.
@@Duckz558 What a load of lies.

Merry clown world
The average Olympic rower must spend, on average 15,000 hours rowing. That's 625 consecutive, 24 hours days of non-stop rowing. This means that if you are woke, you can be Mayor of Tauranga.
The ethno state of New Zimbabwe
far from it lol
@Duckz558 how can you be so blind?
@@Duckz558 poor stupid you
Listen to all the maori names in the bop, its maorification of bop!
woopwoop way to go wow
@@Duckz558 Racist
God when will he understand that the Council is elected to look after the affairs of all Tauranga Ratepayers and Resident, there is nothing wrong in doing a project with a outside partner but it should never be described as Co Governance project
lol no one going to be happy either way so shut up eat your dinner😂😂😂😂
Sean, thanks so much for shining the light.
Sean is race baiting and completely misrepresentating the situation. I live in Tauranga and know people within council. Sean is trying to create racial hatred and it's working 😡
ah ah ah mmm ah ah mmmm ah ah ah
Just what I was thinking!! Ah ah mmmm I ah mmm lost ah mmm count ah mmmmmmmmmmm !!!
Haha. You noticed that as well
Lots of expensive Maori statues, thats what I see
wow i didn’t know that where please??
Gotta piss in every corner like dogs
Until all rate payer realise councils are just screwing them nothing will change. Councils don't give shit about about how they waste your money. This Maori BS has to end. As with Govt, tax payers and rate payers are being screwed to have all these troughers on board. Has to end.
This reminds me of the navy recruiting offices on the US east coast. They don't even need to speak english in them. It's all done in Chinese there!
You’re on it Sean. Thank you!!!
Sean is race baiting and completely misrepresentating the situation. I live in Tauranga and know people within council. Sean is trying to create racial hatred and it's working 😡
And what exactly does the coalition and specifically Simeon Brown think about this?
It would appear from this that Mahe was a world class rower. Anything else not so much.
Nice and fluffy and amenable but lacking critical thinking or maybe just pushing that other Maori/Waitangi Tribunal agenda which is coming under the microscope.Sneaking in unelected Maori influence and infection and racial privilege on the side. Nice one Tauranga.
Couldn't agree more. It's despicable racist behaviour. I'm sick to death of the colour and racist based politics in the govt and the councils.
Anyone can be voted into office in this country whatever their race. All that is required is that they can demonstrate their fitness. Many Maoris get directly elected to parliament and local bodies. No special interest groups please.
If it was legislatively mandatory, Councillors wouldn't have voted 🎤
Hopefully he’s kept his rowboat, one term mayor incoming.
Mahe is being stood over by the local gang (iwi) just like everyone else. Maori supremacy needs to stop, equal rights for All kiwi's
I know people within the council and this is absolutely untrue. Mahé welcomed this.
This nonsense goes back to the view that arose about 10 years ago that Te Papa peninsula up to Gate Pa was not sold by the Maori owners to Archdeacon Brown in 1838 but was given to the Church "in Trust" for future Maori development. So, in recent years we have seen the council "gift" land in Mission Street to Iwi and now "gift" to Iwi, ownership to the land in the CBD on which the new civic centre will be built, which council will lease back. Archdeacon Brown was a lawyer before he became a missionary, and he was very careful to draw up sale and purchase agreements (there were two purchases in all) that were valid legal documents. They are still in existence and can be viewed in various books on the history of early Tauranga. The second purchase, which took the church holdings out to Gate Pa and was the larger, took some 18 months to complete as the Maori owners initially asked for a higher price than Brown was prepared to pay. They later reduced their price and the sale went ahead. Even the Anglican church has bought into the myth the land was held in trust and a few years ago we witnessed the spectacle of an Anglican bishop in his knees begging forgiveness of Iwi for the church not honouring its deal and trashing Brown's reputation in the process.
I HEAR It's happening all the time. They get it on hearsay. Corrupt judicial processes HAVE allowed it to happen. TPM and elite radical activist extremist separatist tribal racist Maori want to take everything by 2040. WAKE UP NEW ZEALAND before it's too late.
If councils don't stop putting up unelected citizens...then you must be removed from that prestigious position. You are there only because of us citizens VOTING FOR YOU...thats it...its time to stop. Stop dancing around the answers...you must consult with the citizens..no one else. End of.
Perfect situation for committing nepotism and that is why it is so essential to have members only elected by the public to participate in council decision making.
What a joke. No one is appointed to council. What is a standing committee if it is not council. Rescind the vote Mahe. Well done Sean. Great questions.
Who would of thought the word "partnership" would be so triggering
You don't need to put Maori on council committee just to get an input. They were not voted in, so do not deserve to be there.
Agree 1000%
Oh no. I thought he would be more modern. Tauranga gets another dead wood council operating against the interests and wishes of tauranga people. Good questions sean. Mahi, you are the racist, not we nonmaori. Mahi, its all bullshit. What about the turds on sticks at the papamoa end of the causeway, who paid, also the maori sculpture in tauranga for 300000 for a couple of trellises.
And spending 10k on Painting Pedestrian Crossings in Stripes for the Queers
not in tauranga haven’t seen where? i’ll go and paint them out if theirs any??
Surely begs the question if Mahe and those councillors who voted in favour of this are capable of making decisions for which they were elected. Should resign if they’re not up to it.
Racial based political participation.
Get rid of it. All of it.. Top to bottom. Starting with the Maori seats in parliament.
1 person, 1 vote.
wow you’re staunch lol you reminds me of maori ‼️😂😂😂
Its IWI based, not RACE based. Huge difference. Sean is race baiting you and you fell for it.
He’s sitting there on the side of the road with his car hazard lights flashing while talking to Sean as the rest of Tauranga passes him by. How symbolic.
Drysdale is certainly a bumbling speaker. He was put on the spot and didn't come across with any surety whatsoever. Been a track record he has demonstrated so far. And an umm and arrrh speaker!
Yep, weak attempt at justifying his woke attitude with waffle. Idiot.
Equality for all New Zealanders. No special priviledges based on race.
Simeon Brown MUST change the Local Govt Act. No Iwi involvement at ALL
That’s not democracy
I see it as vote stacking, without them some of the things he wants to do probably wound'nt get through, its all dodgy
