I resigned from the NZ Society of Authors because it is so Woke. If a person is not Māori, Polynesian, gay, a Woman, or young, it seemed they were a waste of my time and money. If not happy just leave.
Captain Cook was an amazingly humble, hard working and ingenious man, who left several valuable contributions to the World, no wonder the woke people can't stand him.
He was a working class man, a cottager in fact, which was almost as low as you could get in the British class hierarchy at the time, and he managed to rise within that society and achieve significant things at a time when to do so was virtually impossible for working class men, no matter how brilliant they were. His story is a remarkable one considering the society he came from. The irony is that when it comes to "privilege", Tusiata Avia is the one with all the privilege, and Captain Cook is the one with all the disadvantage and marginalization.
The amount of people who come to these shores and all of a sudden have massive entitlements who aren't even indigenous is nothing but a joke, theres people who were born here who don't make this much noise...
I think the question is who are these foreigners coming here. It needs looking into there is some real scumbags getting in because they meet the criteria all you need is money a good reference from someone mayor of your town police department etc we all know can be brought 4:30 and your in but if you coming from an impoverished country where the f did you get all the money from. And no I'm not say any of these people are stupid quite the opposite actually and the seem to end up in positions of power in government and councils have you had a look at the staff list of your local council lately mostly foreigners and moving around different departments and councils like dare I say it hit women.
What about Cooks sailors that were eaten? No welfare state in those days. Their families now should be compensated but they'll be laughed at by such as Tusiata, full of her own hatred and vile NON poetry.
She is part European.... a worthless creature living off the tax payer .. the amount spent on this woman would have paid for a lot of pensions for worthy human beings have contributed to the country. She needs to be sent back to Samoa, they may appreciate her there.. she is not appreciated here.
Why would you want to be friends with this angry woman who writes cringey fourth form style poetry? Also, Captain Cook didn't wear a white wig. He wore his own hair, and it was brown, and unlike Tusiata Avia, who has had all the educational and economic advantages in the world, he got 4 years of education at the charity school on the estate where his father worked as a laborer, and came from a background of grinding poverty - something he was able to overcome due to a mixture of luck, pluck, intelligence and sheer competence.
Hopefully it'll be as you say Sean, people like Avia et al are cut from any further taxpayer/public funding, down the drain go the groveling unworthy gravy trainers.
The most obvious criticism is that she is not a ;poet and cannot write poetry. Any competent wordsmith could pen an unpleasant diatribe in an afternoon. The awards are to the persona, not the poetry. A triumph of the mantra diversity, inclusion and equity over merit.
I thought national was stopping this wastefull use of our tax money,so goverment take back this money from this racist person.This id what you preached to the working people so you better sort this out
She'd enjoy all the controversy and criticism--all good advertising for her "art." Let her say what she wants as long as she and the woke mob let us say what WE want. I have my doubts they would though.
Well, he's a coward and a hypocrite as they try and pretend they are less tediously RW as performance suggests. Have a spine Wright Family Foundation, at least.
Calling out the bigot known as tusiata Avia to speak her bit. Waiting.... Crickets. ❤😂

She's a textbook narcissist.
They don't take exposure very well.

@@lilith3953 Great comment
I'm glad his civilisation brought electricity as an example to New Zealand ,
Just imagine having to rub sticks together every day .
He could by default be the reason why we have KFC too !
We still use his soundings.
She’s no sam hunt ( who was born in New Zealand too btw)
If you apply cockney rhyming slang, she most certainly is.

Cut the money off
Well said Sean Plunkett
She’s no Pam Ayres….just saying.
Well said Sean!

Cooks sailor's were eaten, and then they killed Cook kaput.
Charities funding racism should be deregistered
She should be arrested.
Go Sean Plunket.
Well said Shaun 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

People will remember Captain Cook. Her? Not so much.
And the natives ended his life.

She he should be sent to the vet
Is that an appropriate title for the book, or what?

A poet with a mean streak.....I will leave her to her views, because I know there are a lot better poets out there to follow.
Why?

Can you then refund my expenses for the media council court case ?

Sean plunket refers to himself in the third person
So
Well, he's a coward and a hypocrite as they try and pretend they are less tediously RW as performance suggests.

So much for the coalition stopping the Maori gravy change. This Government is turning out to be all piss and wind.All promises to get the vote.
