Most New Zealanders will have watched last week’s Albert Park demonstration against British woman’s rights campaigner ‘Posie Parker’ with alarm and disgust, as a surging mob of howling rainbow rights activists threatened to crush her, while the Police stood by and did nothing.
The division, violence and anger that was on display that day, will be an enduring legacy of the Ardern-Hipkins Labour Government.
Instead of advocating the democratic ideal of equality and unity, Labour has championed diversity and division.
A hard-core socialist who was World President of a communist youth movement when elected to our Parliament in 2008 – a position she continued to hold for a further 15 months – the former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern heavily promoted the divisive agenda of identity politics.
This Marxist philosophy shifts the struggle for social justice away from the working class to the so-called oppressed groups in society based on identifying features such as race, gender, and sexuality.
As Auckland University’s Professor Elizabeth Rata explains, “Victimhood was subsequently understood as oppression by colonisation, the patriarchy, and ‘Western’ culture generally – an oppression experienced by ethnic groups, indigenous peoples, women, gays, and religious minorities rather than the capitalist exploitation of working class people.”
As well as dividing society by appeasing identity groups, Jacinda Ardern embraced authoritarianism. Claiming to be the sole source of truth, she breached human rights through unlawful lockdowns and illegal vaccine mandates. Imposing an unauthorised He Puapua agenda, she replaced democracy with totalitarian tribal rule. And she threatened an oppressive ‘hate speech’ regime that would have criminalised anyone criticising groups defined by gender, sexual orientation, race, age, disability, employment status, family status, religion, or political opinion.
On top of that, with her ‘dob in your neighbour’ philosophy, and a ‘picking winners’ approach to government spending, Jacinda Ardern deeply divided our hitherto egalitarian society with its proud tradition of ‘live and let live’ and ‘give everyone a fair go’.
This is the New Zealand Chris Hipkins inherited when he became Prime Minister in January, and while he’s assured the public he will undo some of the damage created by his predecessor, to date he’s done nothing.
As well as embedding the politics of division within our legislative and regulatory framework, Labour has fanned the flames of discord through vicious gutter rhetoric.
The Immigration Minister Michael Wood exemplified this with his despicable “river of filth” description of the doctors, nurses, teachers and others protesting at Parliament against unlawful vaccine mandates.
He was at it again when explaining the trans community’s attempt to prevent Posie Parker from entering the country had failed: “I find many of her views repugnant, and am concerned by the way in which she courts some of the most vile people and groups around including white supremacists. As we look towards her events for this coming weekend, the welfare and safety of our transgender community is front of mind… Police have advised they will also be in attendance to ensure public safety. I condemn her inflammatory, vile and incorrect worldviews, and will always stand alongside those New Zealanders who use their own right to free speech against those who wish to take society backwards.”
Finance Minister Grant Robertson, a member of the LGBTQI+ community, also piled in: “I find her views and statements abhorrent. Her bigotry is dangerous and disingenuous. As a country we need to keep our trans community close, and support them through this time. The hateful language is the same that was directed at gays and lesbians in years gone by. Its the same misinformation and lies that destroyed lives and broke apart families. I for one will never let that rhetoric take hold. We must stand together against bigotry and transphobia.”
Justice Minister Kiri Allen, whose partner is the former RadioNZ Midday Report host Mani Dunlop, was also critical of Posie Parker’s right of free speech, saying, “Nope to any person that tries to censor anyone else’s identity – race, sexuality, class, gender – just nope. Let’s do what we do, Aotearoa – stand up, make some noise and support our trans whanau by showing up and drowning out any bigotry that seeks to divide and hurt our whanau.”
And, in spite of the violence and chaos that ensued that morning, the chair of Labour’s Rainbow caucus Shanan Halbert, brushed it aside saying, “I’m so proud of our rainbow community and our allies for coming together in solidarity with our trans whanau. I saw an energetic protest. One that stood up for what New Zealand stands for – inclusion and acceptance. I’m pleased that it was largely a safe environment for all.”
While Prime Minister Chris Hipkins tried to stay out of the controversy by saying Posie Parker’s entry to New Zealand was “a matter for the officials” and claiming “People are allowed to express their views and oppose those they don’t agree with”, he also said he did not agree with “inciting violence”: the “law has a clear line on what you can’t do and I respect that.”
It was rainbow activists who crossed the line and incited violence that day. Fuelled by the inflammatory comments of MPs and false media reports linking Ms Parker with Nazi-sympathisers, the hostile crowd was whipped up into such a frenzy, that she feared for her life.
In an interview with The Platform’s Sean Plunkett, Posie Parker recounted her experience: “I didn’t know if I was going to make it out alive. I concentrated on one foot in front of the other, and then as the surge came forward, I started falling to the side. If I fell, I wouldn’t get up. A body on the floor is not like a human being – it can be kicked and stomped. It was just so frightening I thought I would get crushed to death. I’ve never felt so unsafe in my life.”
Meanwhile, the Police stood by and did nothing – and while the mainstream media down-played the violence of the protesting mob, you can judge for yourself by viewing Posie Parker’s live-stream of the whole incident HERE or a short edited version with drone footage HERE.
This week’s NZCPR Guest Contributor, veteran political commentator Chris Trotter, outlines what should have happened last Saturday:
“At 11:00am, Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull (a.k.a “Posie Parker”) a small (just 155 centimetres tall) bottle-blond mother of four from the United Kingdom, would have stood behind the microphone set up in the Albert Park band rotunda and delivered a speech.
“To a small crowd of about 250 people, she would have detailed her objections to transgender women (i.e. persons born biological males and, in some cases, retaining their male reproductive organs) having the right to enter spaces hitherto reserved for biological women and girls; being incarcerated in biological women’s prisons; and permitted to compete against human females in sporting events intended for biological women only.
“Keen-Minshull would have been followed by a line-up of New Zealand speakers (most of them biological women and feminists) concerned about the linguistic erasure of their sex from official discourse (as in the expression “pregnant persons”) and alarmed at the efforts of transgender women and their supporters to silence the public expression of their concerns.”
Chris then explains what really happened: “Keen-Minshull’s rally was over before it had even begun – victim of the Thug’s Veto. Her right to free expression had been illegally and violently curtailed.”
The burning question, of course, is on whose instruction did the Police fail to intervene to ensure public safety – and why?
After all, according to Minister Wood, the “police have advised they will also be in attendance to ensure public safety.”
A second question asks whether this represents our new norm – if identity groups don’t like the message being expressed through New Zealanders’ right to free speech, is it now OK for Cabinet Ministers and their media allies to help whip up a frenzy so they will exercise the ‘thugs veto’ and intimidate speakers into silence, whilst Police turn a blind eye?
The point is that in a democratic society, the police play a crucial role in maintaining public order and enforcing the law. But their actions last Saturday, where they failed to intervene to prevent the violence, appears to indicate they have become selective about law enforcement.
As Dr Oliver Hartwich of the New Zealand Initiative points out, “Civil disobedience does not excuse police inaction. People who engage in civil disobedience should expect to face consequences. That is part of the deal. If the state does not respond, civil disobedience turns into state-sanctioned activism.”
Is that what happened last Saturday – were we witnessing State-sanctioned activism?
That certainly seemed to be the objective of the Green Party Cabinet Minister Marama Davidson, who, attending the protest to support the rainbow community, claimed it is white cis (same gender as birth) men who are responsible for violence: “I am the prevention violence Minister, and I know who causes violence in the world, and its white cis men.”
Pollster David Farrar fact-checked her claims and explains why they are false: “There are two issues here. The first is that she is wrong. In New Zealand here is the data for violent offending for 2022:
– Gender: 79% male, 21% female
– Ethnicity: 51% Maori, 29% European, 11% Pacific, 2% Indian, 1% Asian
“If she is talking about the entire world, then we also have some data. The top five countries for homicide: El Salvador, Jamaica, Lesotho, Honduras, Belize. And the top five for rape are: Botswana, Lesotho, South Africa, Bermuda, Sweden.
“So it is very clear the Minister is wrong. But that is not the biggest issue. It is her trying to stir up racial hatred.”
Welfare commentator Lindsay Mitchell fact-checked the Minister’s further claims that “overwhelmingly it is men who are the biggest threat to women and children when it comes to violence”, and found they were also wrong: “Green’s co-leader Marama Davidson just keeps digging the hole she is in deeper. First she showed her bitter antipathy towards white CIS men. Then she walked it back to all men…
“University of Otago Professor David Fergusson, an expert on domestic violence, said the public perception that men were the perpetrators of most domestic violence was the result of biased publicity. The proper message is that both gender groups have a capacity for domestic violence and women probably perpetrate more assaults on children then men do.”
Here’s the truth. By revealing her own hate and prejudices through racist and sexist comments, Marama Davidson has demonstrated she is unfit to be a Minister of the Crown. Chris Hipkins should remove her from Office.
Nor is she the first Green Party Minister to display bias against white men. Who can forget the former Minister for Women, Julie-Ann Genter stirring up hate when she stated that “old white men need to ‘move on’ from company boards to help close the gender pay gap.”
The Greens’ anti-white male hatred is vile and dangerous.
But back to Posie Parker.
It is ironic that on the day when she was due to discuss basic needs for biological women including their own bathrooms, changing rooms, and sports events, the President of the World Athletics Council Sebastian Coe announced that female transgender athletes who had gone through male puberty would no longer be permitted to compete in female competitions.
That decision is in sharp contrast to the new guidelines issued by Sports NZ late last year, which not only allow transgender athletes to compete in the gender they identify with, but requires sports clubs to provide inclusive bathroom facilities and gender neutral uniforms.
What happened to Posie Parker was a disgrace. The inflammatory comments by Ministers of the Crown, the false reporting by the media, the Police failing to protect a vulnerable woman in extreme danger, verged on State-sanctioned activism.
It’s not only time our politicians stepped up and defended New Zealanders against radicalised activism, but judging by his dithering when asked to define a “woman”, it’s clearly time our Prime Minister went back to basics and learnt the difference between a man and a woman – as well as the difference between right and wrong.

| Where is National in all this. They are pathetic | Alan |
| If anyone said that Brown cis men were the cause of all violence they would have arrested for inciting violence and thrown in jail. Yet that statement is closer to the facts than Davidsons statement | Grant |

| same rules for all | douig |
| no place for this sort of crap | peter |
| Imagine what would happen if a white person said that | Wayne |
| Trouble maker | John |
| If the roles were reversed she & her accompanied white man hate activists would stipulate & force their rights to have that minister removed. Her display indicates immature head space not fit to represent what a NZers want, she is feeding the racist gap & fuelling further anger. She cannot be a part of the members of Parliament | Meishel |
| She is a disgrace. Such bigotry as she verbalises is not befitting a Minister of the Crown. Shocking! Absolutely shocking! She has brought disgrace to NZ and we are very negatively viewed overseas too as a result. | Joanna |
| Marama Davidson is Evil & vile. She is , I think , a Woman and yet she seems to violate biological women! She is nonsensical, totally deranged! Should be gone from Parliament! | Valerie |
| Desicable comments. She must go. and in regard to the CAPTCHA question challenge 4 2 = 6 unless you are Marama Davidson in which case in equal whatever you want it to equal. | Chris |
| A disgusting racist. | Francis |

| Activist scum | Thomas |
| Yes yes yes | Ruth |
| Totally out of order | Ken |
| Surely she can’t stay after showing her true colours to the world? I’ve always considered her a racist idiot – now she’s proved it…… | Dave |
| Hypocritical | Fraser |
| It beggars belief how she got there in the first place. | Linda |
| She is racist, sexist and dangerous and because she breaches many of the responsibilities that ministers of the Crown have to exercise. | Kerry |
| The continuation of Davidson as a minister, or as a MP in view of her blatant bigotry should be a decision made by the voting public at election time. I would be very surprised to see her continue in Parliament beyond the forthcoming election. | Colin |
| Division is the agenda for our current MPs. This is NOT NZ. | Annette |
| There is an election coming so if she doesn’t get the marching orders now we can do it with the vote to kick her out | Warren |
| NZ one people one nation | Margaret |
| She is out of line with her woke beliefs. She and her woke party must go! | peter |
| How can we feel and be safe in our own country when the Government condones racist hate from its minsters and allows them to continue in that position. In my view Politicians and media whipped up the resulting chaos. New Zealand’s reputation will suffer. Something is terribly wrong in NZ? | Sam |
| Marama Davidson should have been sacked the day after she made that comment. No Minister in our Government should get away with that kind of outburst. | Linda |
| She made a nasty despicable comment the deserves to see her removed from her ministerial position. | Zelda |
| Shocking comment from a government minister | Rayward |
| She must be removed from All National Politics in New Zealand foe ever ongoing | Phil |
| No doubt about it | Bev |
| not only her but her woke so called leader and while we are at it the woke prime minister for not pulling her up over her racist rant, the sooner the election comes around the sooner we NEW ZEALANDERS can get rid of all the parasites in Wellington | Richard |
| she and her party have nothing to contribute. Parasites. Political opportunists masquerading as environmentalists | bill |
| When Govt Ministers, Media and the Police sanction mob violence it is time for all New Zealanders to take stock of where our Govt is leading us. We do not want to become another country where minorities rule , and mob rule is condoned by our law makers. Free speech must be the right for all citizens without fear, favour. or race as an impediment. | Brian & Trish |
| Definitely | Richard |
| Of course she should! But sadly in this crazy clown country we now live in she won’t. | Lola |
| For her to say it, she has to have thought it in her mind – therefore Marama meant it! | Phillip |
| Under normal circumstances an honourable minister would resign. Yeah-right. However, it might be better she doesn’t. This will give her more public opportunities to rant and spit vitriol to further highlight this Green-Labour government’s divisive ideologies. Roll on October. | Norman |
| Absolutely | Murray |
| Yes, she was deliberate in her condemning of white males as being the main perpetrators of violence. However the truth is shown in the statistics. She should be made to resign. Yes I am a white male who has contributed tax for 50 years. | Allan |
| Davidson clearly demonstrated that she is racist and therefore not fit for public office. | Frank |
| She can’t get the facts right, blames the wrong group with impunity and doubles down with the wrong facts when asked to apologize – which she steadfastly refuses to do. | Sheila |
| Failure to act by the current PM and the Labour party in general, shows that if they are not defeated at the next election NZ will see a mass exodus. | Ian |
| She should have been / should be sacked immediately for her sexist, racist, false comments. What an appalling, incompetent, dishonest bunch of idiots the labour / green party has proven itself to be! | Andrew |
| Apallingly disgraceful & I feel ashamed of our Govt, Police & those violent protestors, who along with the media & Govt have NO idea of what Posie Parker actually stands for & in doing so, have destroyed our global image of a beautiful, peaceful country called New Zealand….! | Bruce |
| Absolutely. The entire rabble of left wing lunatics ought to be arrested and charged with instituting violence and civil disobedience. | Geoff |
| NZ needs the very best of brains in the Beehive but all we get are a bunch of self-serving, ignorant, selfish idiots. MMP must be removed as a very first step. As a second step, potential MPs need to be tested to ensure a minimal IQ level. | Frank |
| Foul mouthed woman | Peter |
| Hell yes! This harpy is using the cloak of invulnerability i.e. being a ‘Maori’ woman, as a platform for her racism and obvious hatred of white males. She must be sacked immediately, but of course she won’t be because both Shaw and Hipkins are castrated cowards. | John |
| Absolutely what a miserable excuse for a politician she is. If thats the sort of vile belief that she stands for she should be removed immediately and disallowed from holding any future role in any political party or public office. Plus she should publicly apologise for the remarks, New Zealand does not need a Government whose politicians hold such racist views especially when they are so very wrong. | Rob |
| Those people can get away with it. But us White Honkies will always be labelled as a racist | bruce |
| She is wrong. If she gets this wrong and lies publicly, what other damage will she do? She cannot be trusted. | Ruth |
| Absolutely !! She has demonstrated that she is unfit to hold public office. | Doug |
| What a fool | Daryl |
| If she had any ability to use both her eyes she would resign. She has no sense of service to ALL New Zealanders and is clearly sexist, racist and probably ageist and heterophobic. NZ deserves far better as a Minister of the Crown. | Gary |
| she is a bigot | Russell |
| Not worthy | Alison |
| Absolutely.. The facts speak for themselves. Ms Davidson is Racist and WRONG | Gregor |
| Her comment was vile and directed at white males. There was no reason for this and shows that she has a bias which cannot be tolerated in a modern multi-cultural democratic society | Leslie |
| She fails to deliver anything positive to NZ. Just a negative stir against white males. | Steve |
| She pretty much met expectations with her comments. She’s an arrogant nutter, wrapped up in her own self-importance. If it wasn’t for MMP she’d be nowhere near Parliament let alone being a Cabinet Minister. | Graham |
| She has proven beyond doubt that she is truly a racist. There are many others in her party and Labour who have the same views as she does. No wonder public opinion has switched from supporting Maori in their endeavors to feeling as though they are given special treatment. We have to get rid of this government before it is too late. Lets have a country where everyone is equal. Maori are the biggest racists of all. | Dianne |
| She can go work for the Canterbury Call..double the incompetence. | Matt |
| Marama Davidson is a disgrace. She’s a Maori activist first and foremost, and a pure blood racist. 51% Maori men cause violence in NZ against 29% white. That is the facts. | Laurine |
| Absolutely and she should no longer be a MP either. She is unfit to be in parliament, due to her racist vitriol and refusal to apologise for her remarks. Chris Hipkins is weak not sacking her too. | Karen |
| The Boss… the PM needs to learn the lines…”YOU’RE FIRED….” | ChrisH |
| I personally believe that the MMP voting system we now have was a huge mistake for this country. What we get in parliament now are minority fringe groups who because of our MMP system are able to get into Parliament and of course get to have a huge say in the running of this country. I don’t think that the people who voted in the MMP system really understood the full ramifications of the new system and are for many of them now reeling at what this country has become. Without the help of the MMP system the Green Party would probably never have been able to get in and have any say what so ever. So much of all this sort of thing can now be blamed on allowing the Lunatics in under our new system. | Paul |
| Absolutely – The way Marama Davidson behaved along with the Green Party drag queens who stifled free speech, is an appalling way for a Minister of the Crown to behave. Posey Parker is simply advocating safe places for women where they do not find themselves alone in a public toilet with a drag queen. We have just got rid of a Prime Minister who could not say no to the tribal Maori elite and she has been replaced by a man who is unable to define what a woman is! The lunatics are definitely in charge of the asylum! | David |
| Definitely she is unfit to be a Minister of the crown | John M |
| But unfortunately there will be no consequences for her from the PM nor her own party. And from her own party many will nod in agreement. We can only hope that retribution will come on 14 October at the ballot box. | Brenton |
| I wonder how she would fell if a couple of hundred pissed off people decided to give her a good old slapping. | Sven |
| Obviously biased and irrational | Lyn |
| She is violent, a rampant racist and a liar in my humble opinion. | Bruce |
| We don’t need these racist anti-white people in government. They have become the racist ones, most Europeans don’t care about the colour of their skin, they are just feed up with their attitude towards other races and their supremacist views. | Barry |
| She is stirring up hate and as a rapid dog need to be put down | Arthur |
| Some 6 time more likely to be attacked by one small group of New Zealander, than all the others. | Lionel |
| Democracy is under threat! The minority have the loudest voice. Let’s show our solidarity at the upcoming elections by making our voices heard through our vote. Don’t forget the last 5 years it’s been a shocker! | Dianne |
| Hateful bigotry | Lee |
| Most definitely and I think she possible had something to do with trying to remove James Shaw too. | Ann |
| She should be sacked. She’s has exposed herself (once again) as being a racist, sexist, Frankfurt School Critical Theory ideologue of the worst kind, and has absolutely no place in any position of leadership, let alone parliament. Will she resign? No. Because she is performing the duties assigned to her by the Globalist elties for whom she actually works. She is also typical of the untalented narcissistic individuals that populate our parliament and local councils. And as I keep saying, without a free, independent and critical media holding government to account, there can be NO democracy. All we have is an illusion while our country slides irrevocably towards totalitariansm. Davidson, a “useful idiot” is just a symptom of this. | Jasmine |
| Sadly, it just shows how compliant this Government is to the Trans community, that she hasn’t been demoted at least. Of course one only has to look at the mess America is in, to see the direction the left is taking that nation. Sadly, I’n not sure that National will have the will to do much better here. | Ted |
| Absolutely, if it was an opposition white minister making similar remarks about maori etc they would be gone by now. | Lawrie |
| Yes, no question | Valerie |
| She is clearly racist in her comments toward white males – imagine what a white male politician would have faced uttering similar claims about black women? | Keith |
| she should be gone burgers sacked from the greens to….where are some good people to stand up in parliament and the greens to fire her.. | Wayne |
| She should also resign from parliament because she should be representing all people and she is not.. She should also be disciplined by the Greens if they wish to represent all people. As a white male why should I want to give the greens my vote? | John |
| Absolutely! | Simonne |
| Racist through and through. Always has been .Disgraceful.Not even an apology | David |
| She’s a freak | Evans |
| Go immediately. | Iain |
| Quite clearly not suitable to hold the ministerial warrant she does, step down! | Ray |
| An assault on not only women but women victims of violence | Sharon |
| absolutely yes a bigotted racist with a dangerous ideology has no place in a position of power and influence. | john |
| Hipkins too weak or scared to sack her , and the other one. Potty(pothole) Woods needs serious help. A bitter and sad lad. | Ron |
| She is a potty mouthed, low intellect and a total racist and is not suitable or worthy of the position that she holds. She should be removed from Parliament immediately. | Allan |
| She should be sacked from Parliament. The people of NZ do not need in the house | Wendy |
| She should be fired completely. | Trevor |
| Completely the opposite colour is true. | Ross |
| She is a far more ‘vile’ person than Posie Parker, but she slots nicely into this ‘most vile’ Cabinet that new Zealand has ever seen. | Phil |
| Yes she should be given the boot but I bet she won’t.We still have a bunch of dropkicks and r/soles running the country so it ain’t going to happen. We can fix the above bunch of fizzwhistlers on election day but only if every one of your average kiwis rise up and do some research into what is really going on in this country NOW and vote for Act or National. Review this excellent site by Muriel,go back and read comments from the past few years. Don’t forget Sean Plunkets The Platform and also The Taxpayers Union. It’s quite clear to me that unless this bunch are voted out this election the country is completely stuffed It will take many many years for people to see with there own eyes how stupid they have been and to take steps to rectify the terrible situation the country will be in. So WAKE UP NZ Do you want our countrys name changed ? Do you want Maori control of our coast? Do you want Co-Governance? ( If you don’t understand what it is look it up) Do you want to watch TV without being bombarded with a foreign language I could go on,sorry Muriel for getting off subject a bit. REMEMBER – One country one people We all came here by boat – There are no indigenous people here. | Brian |
| She is an unfit “person” to hold any position of authority. | Neil |
| Must go, before lunchtime | Owen |
| Absolutely, as should most of the 3 main parties. They are all untrustworthy, now lovely platitudes flowing for the b***h who started this racist crap. Davison needs to go! Hipkins stated (I only heard it once) that he’d like to have been at the the Auckland riot to support the protesters. If only the public would realise that Hipkins is another nasty piece of work underneath, and has supported Ardern as her right hand person for 6 years, and he’s lying if he says he will change anything. As for Luxon – one word – untrustworthy globalist. | Carolyn |
| to bloody right she should | Robert |
| Racism is dividing this country so fast and we need a government that dispels it … not encourages it! | Glenda |
| Not only lose her her warrant ,but removed from Parliament altogether. | Don |
| She thinks she is untouchable. | John |
| There is no place in New Zealand for this sort of bigoted political stance. WHERE ARE THE OPPOSITION PARTIES ??? | Denis |
| Along with the others | Ian |
| She is vicious and racist communist scumbag who has no place in Parliament. She is a monument to the failure of party list seats that seem to bring in dregs. | John |
| Absolutely, definitely YES | Vivienne |
| No excuses, fire her. | Derek |
| Absolutely she should be dismissed from her ministerial role. Any politician citing racist comments does not belong in any Government or political party period. | Wayne |
| Switch around the other way pale males saying something about Maori crimes and see what transpires!! | Phil |
| She is one of the group that is the most racist in NZ today | Dennis |
| Absolutely. Her biased factually incorrect inflammatory statements have no place in a Ministerial portfolio. | Christina |
| True colours | Iain |
| Yes absolutely she should be fired immediately and expelled from the parliament along with the others who whipped up this frenzy. The woke and ineffectual police who ordered the hold back, don’t protect her stand should also all be fired immediately. What happened is appalling and I’m disgusted with it and the fact that woke fool hipkins can’t define a woman, adult human female, what an idiot. Him and his whole woke and corrupted govt need to be immediately scraped and thrown into the weeds. What a shambles the have made of this country and the nats are no better in fact worse. They at least are supposed to be on the right, conservative if you like but instead are just as stupid, wet and woke as the labor socialists. I’m appalled at lot of them. | Flip |
| A disgustingly racist comment which I take umbrage with as the mother of 3 sons. | Carol |
| It shows her hatred for Europeans/us and desire to enslave them/us | David |
| absolutely Imagine the out cry if this was a European person | Roy |
| Marama is a RACIST! at no time should any minister show bias towards any group! They work for all kiwi’s! We the people pay their wages!! | lisa |
| Hipkins should grow some balls and sack her!!! | Keith |
| It was very offensive & racialist. | Ruth |
| Most definitely | Noel |
| of course | Lorraine |
| There is no place in politics for those who have personal racist agendas. she is a disgrace as is James Shaw. the Green Party no longer has any credibility in this Country. | KK |
| I also went on Human Rights Commission site and put in a complaint they replied they are unable to assist with my complaint 1. limited to providing dispute resolution services 2. it is not enough that the material is offensive or controversial 3.has a broader role to encourage harmonious relations between diverse communities | Karen |
| Yes – gone by lunchtime! | John |
| It just continues….”I mispoke the words I wanted to say”……your just full of shit Ms Davidson. …… | Alan |
| How can we get rid of Racism when our Parliamentarians spout it so often | Laurel |
| She is a thug, pure & simple – by proxy – and should stripped of her ministerial roles. If she has broken the law, then the full force of the law should be applied. | Mark |
| She is a poor example of a politician. | Tony |
| DEFINITELY | Michael |
| Typical lying Greenie! | Mike |
| She is clearly incredibly racist and, even worse, a perpetrator of false information. We don’t need persons like them to be a Minister if the Crown. | John |
| A ” true colours” moment if ever there was one! | Alastair |
| How can Hipkins condone this ? Does he agree with her then ? At least she’ll help to pull the Green party down, and hopefully Labour with them. | Andrew |
| A maori racist activist should not be in parliament. She certainly was not elected. | ash |
| History shows what worse things happens next if situations like this one are ignored. She was and still is 100% wrong. | Donald |
| she is not fit for purpose. | gale |
| Muriel’s article says it all. The Green Party co-leader must be sacked. And all those Ministers that spoke vile words about Posie prior to her arrival, should also be sacked. Actually get rid of the whole government! We have had enough. This will happen, the sooner the better. We cannot keep tolerating their despicable behaviour. Its been 3 years of hell. What does it take for Kiwis to rise up and say NO. It is time to unite and say, “The people of New Zealand stand united to dissolve this government immediately”. We can keep talking about it and not do anything, this just creates a loop going nowhere. | Lee |
| No place for her because she patronises division and projects racially and gender bias. | Peter |
| Disgusting behaviour | tony |
| Absolutely she should be sacked. She has disqualified herself from Public Office with her racist comments. | Margaret |
| I%u2019m absolutely disgusted with her she needs to resign. | Catherine |
| she is factually and morally wrong in her assertions | fred |
| She is devisive she shouldn’t be in parliament with her attitude | Sue |
| She should have been sacked immediately for her racist offensive comment. | Daphne |
| Why should she not be punished for her totally out of line comments. Her beliefs. | John |
| Divisive person, bad politician. | Martin |
| Absolutely. Marama Davidson is Not fit for purpose as a public servant. | Basil |
| It’s about time we get some decent people in parliament | Theo |
| Not just her. Labour/Greens politicians are a disgrace. The world is the judge on this debacle. | Marion |
| Marama Davidson has made me feel unsafe in my own country. The woman she purportedly hates, quote “hetero is boring”. As the minister for anti-violence she is the wrong person as she has incited violence against ‘cis white males’ – that is what my front line St John Ambulance Officer husband is. | Meg |
| Absolutely!!! And so should Meng Foon! | Andrew |
| Who is going to fire her,the weak kneed PM Hipkins or her equally weak kneed co-leader.There is no accountability in government now as they are all trying to stay in power so will back each other regardless. | Peter |
| She is assuming that people are not capable of thinking for themselves. Either that or they should not think for themselves. | Catherine |
| a nasty disgraceful piece of shit she is!! Not only should she lose her ministerial portfolio but thrown out of that wasp nest on her black arse!..what goes around comes around Marama Davidson!!!..hellfire comin your way lady!?! | Treena |
| Same rules for all. | Tim |
| Her ignorance and racists and discrimination is abhorrent! | Angela |
| She should be sacked without a doubt. | Gavin |
| Comments such as those made by Mariana Davidson show a high degree of ignorance and hatred and should not be tolerated from a Minister of our Parliament. | Gifford |
| Absolutely, all the Green Party should be banned! I know we can’t but the system allows for this sort of crap to keep going. Good for nothing, all Greens and most of Labour. | Graeme |
| Revolting though Davidson is, it is better that she stays where she is – that way expect more gaffs that reveal the bigoted damaged mess that the Greens have become. | Barry |
| Anyone else would have if they hadn’t ticked so many boxes. The paid media would have seen to that. | Rob |
| Just imagine if she was non-Maori and had made those comments about Maori.. The uproar would be deafening!! | Tony |
| Yes — in fact the whole damn Green party should be got rid of !!!!!!!! | Alan |
| absolutely should have been sacked, goodbye greens | Cliff |
| I believe her actions and language was very questionable at best Incitive at worst. Unfortunately for New Zealand we do not seem to have an alternative opposition view or reaction . Luxon is heading for a severe lose in the upcoming election, He almost seems to be leading Labour version 2. | William |
| This will not while Labour, Greens and a weak National party are in Parliament. | Lew |
| Guilty. One rule for her and Kiri Allan and the rest of us would be fired if we did it. | Jacqui |
| Absolutely | Teresa |
| Resentful, envious and greedy there’s no place in our govt for these activists. She has shown her true colours. | mike |
| Definitely she should, nothing but a troublemaker. | Benjamin |
| It is a disgrace she is still in the job.. | Donald |
| But more importantly what was a government minister doing there in the first place? | Lee |
| Yes is not qualified to be a minister. She needs to go. | David |
| she along with the whole green party and labour should be sacked. | Andrew |
| She is an avid racist, cannot provide leadership to NZ, and should be chucked out of the NZ House of Representatives, aka Parliament | Tim |
| Burn her evil-doings at the flaming stake for Witchcraft! Or better apply “The Crushing Load” for the spells of corrupt influence the idolatrous witch casts on the Puritan horde! | GeeBee |
| The unbelievable contradiction of reality is abhorrent. | GeeBee |
| She would be emboldened by the marxist-Leninst”Political Incorrectness dictates that (amongst other things) allows that minorities cannot be seen as racist against majority groups. This government is fostering their own flavour of racist hate speech. That is against the principles of civilization. | Hugh |
| With comments made by Marama Davidson she should be gone from both green party and naturally from parliament .Not a good look for New Zealand with those comments coming from Minister of the Crown. | Cyril |
| enough is enough | Bev |
| Absolutely. | Neville |
| Absolutely the wrong individual to be a minister of the Crown. Skippy should fire her immediately. | Jeff |
| They are assisting the labour party in causing division in our country, there has never been so much division before caused since the Ardern Government with her MARXIST ideas. | Nancy |
| SHE IS A DANGEREOUS PERSON WHO SHOULD HOLD A MINISTERIAL POST. | John |
| yes , the dopey b……h | mike |
| Yes she has shown clearly hate towards men | leo |
| Inciting terrorism and displaying antagonism towards free speech should become a crime instantly | brianb |
| She has long been a dangerous embarrassment to this country. | Garrick |
| Exposed for what she is by her own words. | Karen |
| A BIG YES | Don |
| It is a disgrace that an MP let alone The Minister for the Prevention of Family and Sexual violence should be involved in a riotous attempt to deny a women her right to free speech. This Minister should be sacked, not just from her ministry portfolio but also from her role as the co-leader of the Green Party, if the Greens are serious about politics they need to to demonstrate they respect the power they have while ministers of the crown. That’s Ministers of the Crown, not ministers of the Green Party. | T |
| An out and out racist. | Bruce |
| Most certainly. She is obviously biased, like the rest of the Labour government. | Laura |
| Too bloody right | Bill |
| It is clear that there is a push to undermine the Democratic right of New Zealanders. The push for division by the United Nations and the NZ Government is clear. | Carol |
| Terrible behaviour | Paula |
| Of course she should. Her comments were straight vindictiveness. If she cannot control her vehement tongue she has no place in parliament. Kick her out! | Ron |
| Absolutely!! | Sue |
| But I don’t expect for an instant that in fact she will, not with this abhorrent lot in charge! | Philip |
| Without a doubt, but it will take a real man to do that in feminist NZ !! | Pierre |
| hateful person | anne |
| As a ‘cis’ woman I fear for my children and grandchildren living in a country in which members of government can – without remorse or consequences – make these statements. I am looking seriously at relocating overseas – my ancestors on both sides arrived here in the 1840s. | Skarlett |
| MOST DEFINITELY | David |
| Davidson must go. She’s racist against 85% of our country’s people. We are no longer welcome in our own country NZ But we have the power to remove this lot in October. Vote them out. Worst govt. In NZ history. Scumbags. | Kevin |
| Shouldn’t be in parliament at all | David |
| She is a disgrace, as a minister of the crown, as a supposed maori, and as a woman.. should be sent packing. | Peter |
| Davidson epitomises all that is wrong in NZ. She’s Racist, Sexist, Bigoted and vile. | Geoffrey |
| She has stated what the actual thoughts of the Green Party are, but as a Minister of the Government makes her comment all the matter worse, so should lose her job forth with and with complete ignominy. | Roy |
| She’s an absolute disgrace. I cannot imagine how we came to be saddled with people like her, not only in positions of power in our country, but also with their snouts well and truly in the trough of taxpayer funds. Are we NZers such fools that we actually voted these people into power? | Rosemary |
| Yes, along with a few others – Michael Woods, Willie Jackson, and Mahuta. | Elizabeth |
| Marama has proved time & again that she is a racist. & a cancellist. Anyone who doesn’t agree with her gets cancelled. People like her are the reason NZ is in such a mess!! 🙁 She needs to GO!! | FloJo |
| Yes, most definitely! She cannot even find it in herself to apologise for her disgusting outburst. What sort of example is this to set – by a government minister ! | Leon |
| The thing is the purported Harley, leather clad Tamaki acolyte motorcycle ‘incident’ actually knocked some truth out of her. Very useful! | Dick |
| She is a racist | Colin |
| She meant every word ! | Nancy |
| Disgraceful attitude for a ‘minister of the Crown’. That core belief has no place in the country’s leadership. | Ian |
| She’s not fit to stay a minister | John |
| Absolutely YES What an absolute disgrace and it’s not the first time she has disgraced herself in a similar choice of words. We do not need under any circumstances a person who is such a racist bigot in Parliament. | Carolyn |
| Get rid of theB…. .There is no place in any party for her … and many more I might add! | Des |
| eFFing oath | Rob |
| Most definitely! A white CIS male would most certianly lose his! | Michael |
| It was obvious that she was not a suitable person for a ministerial position. In other words, she should never have had a ministerial position and should now lose it. | Paloma |
| Definitely a dangerous racist | Lynn |
| Definitely | David |
| Shes an unelected Racist POS | Greg |
| Most definitely! | J J |
| No doubt she should be fired – instead she is still spouting the same rhetoric | Jan |
| Her and her kind should be kicked right out of parliament altogether, no place for racists and sexist’s so that would clear a good percentage out. | laurie |
| She certainly should be sacked. Her vile aggressive behavior and verbally abusive and incorrect statements should not be tolerated in our society. Also being a Minister of the Crown makes her position there intolerable. Then she doesn’t even have the guts to apologise to the people she offended. She is an embarrassment to NZ. | Keith |
| Apart from Marama’s slip confirming that she to is indeed racist. it is absolutely unacceptable for a minister of the crown to make such comments, so yes she should resign and if not of her own accord be remove by Chippy. After all if it was a ACT or National MP that had said that, the government & their state owned media would be clamouring for their removal ! | John |
| Disgraceful and deserves to be booted out | Dianne |
| The comment was extremely inappropriate and she should have been sacked for her racism towards white people. | Robin |
| Absolutely. Deliberately making false accusations is a sackable offence.. | William |
| Marama Davidson is a nasty pice of work and not fit to be a Minister.. | pdm |
| This Government continues to promote racial division | Lindsay |
| She is just another green part of the swamp | David |
| Definitely, If it had of been a man making this type of comment about a women there would have been such an uproar. Her statement was not an apology. Shows the calibre of our Politicians | Francis |
| She and her ilk are totally immoral and a blight on those she is supposed to serve. | Peter |
| She is a disgrace to her gender and an embarassment to the people of NZ. | Phillip |
| The best way to get rid of this lot is no votes | Ken |
| Yes Davidson is a vile racist who ignores data and the truth. We cannot trust her in any leadership role. | Chris |
| There is no place in a civilized government for a racist bigot. And racist bigots are not all white cis men either as well demonstrated by Marama Davidson. | frank |
| Immediately | John |
| Potty mouthed underhand. | Janet |
| She’s a racist thru and thru | Pete |
| She has failed on too many fronts on various policy indicators for both the Green Party and her Ministerial role | John |
| She should have gone days ago | Andrew |
| There are too many radicals in government. Get rid of them. | Gareth |
| To carry on like she did shows her lack of decorum as befitting a leader of a political party. Could she be trusted to lead a multi cultural society, I don’t think so. | Dennis |
| Any one who wasn’t Maori would have been | Joh. |
| Her attitude is obvious and divisive. We don’t need people of her ilk in parliament. so why has she not been sacked? | Gay |
| Very poor politics | Murray |
| She got it so wrong in all areas. Completely bigoted. | Kevin |
| not fit to be a minister | Colin |
| and charged with “hate” crimes. | Richard |
| Most definitely. She is obviously biased against white men and there should be no room for such bias. I’m disgusted at the inaction of the Police. On whose instructions were they so impotent. They certainly weren’t doing their job. Heaven help us if the Greens go in coalition with anybody at the next election. There should be no bias whatsoever. | Helen |
| Most definitely, sexist, racist ministers not needed in NZ. | Allan |
| The more Greens that can be got rid of, the better. Take the Labour Drongos with them | John |
| Look back to her comments during the mosque shooting – not supporting the muslim community who should have been the focus of everyones thoughts but attacking white supremacy | Anon |
| And taken through the courts for inciting violence and racist rhetoric she is not fit for purpose | Warren |
| The sooner the better and some re-training program to boot. | Ian |
| Yes because she is exhibiting the very fascist ideology of division which the Nazis extolled and which which was grown in apartheid South Africa | ian |
| Absolutely, it was disgraceful | Karen |
| All Green MPs should be removed from the cabinet. | Shaun |
| She should also lose her co-leader role as such bigotry is no example for our society | Diana |
| A real eye opener to have it revealed that the disgusting violent scenes that took place in Auckland were not only condoned but were enabled and encouraged by the likes of; Hipkins the Prime Minister Grant Robertson Minister of Finance Kiri Allan Minister of Justice Michael Wood Minister of Immigration Marama Davidson Minister for the Prevention of Family and Sexual Violence, Paul Hunt Human Rights Commissioner Tory Whanau Mayo of Wellington Et al It must be a really sick government to think that conduct like should be considered acceptable. For the police to be cowered by a mob of sexual deviants and their supporters (including sitting MPs) does nothing for their image. Particularly after being able to muster over 600 pers to beat the crap out of peaceful protestors at Parliament. I doubt that the rank and file of the police are proud of their politicised hierarchy. There is no excuse for the lack of police presence because the lowlifes had left no doubt of their intentions. The animal Eli Rubashkyn should face charges and then be deported back to its country of manufacture. Davidson should be sacked along with Logie and Menendez March and any other MPs that were present. The above Ministers and officials should resign as they are not fit for public office. The mainstream media are also corrupt and as culpable | Terry M |
| Absolutely, she is sexist, racist, and a disgrace to New Zealand. | Brian |
| Not green, pathetic. | Murray |
| she is an absolute RACIST and should be sacked from politics completely | Les W |
| Marama Davidson is a racist. I have written to the PM 3 times asking for her resignation. I never get a reply. We need to start a public demand for her to go. | tane |
| She totally exceeded her brief and became part of a murderous frenzy. She has to go. | Janet |
| For helping to incite violence from the gays and trans. She is a disgrace | John |
| She will get away with it because she is a Maori activist | Lindsay |
| Because she is wrong | Sheila |
| Ministerial privilege doesn’t hide the roots of inbred racial feelings. | Hugh |
| Marama Davidson is imbued with hate for white New Zealanders, probably based on incorrectly recorded Maori history. She needs to be removed from her ministerial post immediately to update her history. | William |
| Absolutely! She’s a disgrace! | Jacky |
| Democracy is dead. The left are communists, the right are socialist so what we have is uniparty of psychopaths controlled by the CCP/ Khazarian mafia and forcing us towards their one world government utopia. | neil |
| Along with all green MPs | Steve |
| Why should she be exempt when others have not been. She has abused her privilege. | Liz |
| Absolutely. She is not fit to be a Minister of the Crown. | Lorraine |
| unlearned witch! | murray |
| Has anyone asked her if she even knows what the Cabinet Manual is? | Rod |
| Part and parcel of a government that promised to govern for ALL in NZ, she is partisan and prejudiced. She needs to go. Labour, Green and National have supported 0.02% of the population and antagonised 50% (the women). Well done! | Jenny |
| Unacceptable comments about white males which is factually wrong. No Minister should be able to express a view which is incorrect and not be held accountable. | Louis |
| If a European had made the same remark about Maori men they would be in dire straights and rightly so. | Murray |
| Absolutely must be sacked. She has consistently demonstrated that she is a disgustingly racist person who is not even close to be a fit and decent person to be an MP. Her latest outburst abhorrent and decisive proof of this, if any more was even needed. As well as her, every Maori politician that has used the term “our people”, meaning Maori people, must also be removed from parliament. Politicians are elected to run NZ for ALL NZer, not to push the disgusting racist agenda pushed by Maori elite who have deliberated corrupted the meaning and intent of the Treaty to line their own pockets and implement undemocratic tribal rule in NZ. | Steve |
| Her comment showed her honest opinion and her cover up if an accident just highlights how dishonest she is | Debra |
| 100% must go. Just imagine in reverse the uproar. You would probably end up in jail with this current govt. Labour and greens must go. All racist, lying pack of bastards! | Allan |
| wokisim is alive and free in NEW ZEALAND. | Mark |
| obviously , get rid of her ,shame on her | mike |
| YES | Gerald |
| NOW | Wiremu |
| If Rob Campbell’s comments met the threshold for dismissal, Marama Davidson’s remarks clearly demonstrate she’s unfit to remain as minister. | David |
| Absolutely | Peter |
| a very unbalanced person to have governmental power and control. | Gillian |
| Davidson is an out & out racist & there is no room in government for people like her. | John |
| Of course | David |
| How can a Co leader of Green party scream out hatred using race as her vitriolic subject. Totally unacceptable behaviour. I am ashamed of her. | Elizabeth |
| Davidson should further be charged for inciting violence in my view. | Jacqueline |
| As a minister representing New Zealand her comments were far from acceptable and she should be impartial | Allan |
| She appears to be an unapologetic Racist and Sexist. | Hugh |
| Yes, she should but no she won’t. She’s part Maori so can’t possibly be racist! And what about her partners in crime? Those who encouraged the mob through inflammatory uncalled for remarks – Michael river of filth Wood, fatty Robertson, Kirri Allen, many of the Greens and others. | Alan |
| pure hatred & prejudice is not right, especially by a minister. | Anon |
| That she is in that particular job and doesn’t know the relevant statistics is perhaps a pointer as to why no progress at all is being made on this issue. As usual, the disgusting and irrelevant Greens show themselves to be out of touch with reality, with zero ability to self-correct. | Tony |
| Definitely | Pam |
| If we had any justice in this country of ours, that vile and disgusting person would be charged accordingly. But it is obvious that one sided justice is applied to the ones with the wrong skin colour and morally and ethically sound people. I have seen this kind of violent Antifa behaviour against politically undesirable opponents in Germany in 2016. The police then did nothing and it seems that the Antifa crowd here is learning from the same textbook. This is just the beginning. | Michael |
| Also, she should receive the harshest legal censure for ‘hate speech’. Very pleased she did what she did as huge swathes of grass-roots compliant New Zealanders have been put on high alert as to the untoward events unfolding before our eyes both in the national and international arena. Hopefully, within the not too distant future, our strength as a nation will over-rule the current culture of totalitarianism. Let’s join in unison to cleanse the filth from society and enable our children to inherit a beautiful world where they and their children’s children can thrive in harmony. | cushla |
| Davidson is a woke green disgrace. with no honorable morals. | RICHard |
| get rid of her | gerard |
| Her statements belie her overall state of mind and utter disregard for cabinet rules; she should be removed by the Prime Minister forthwith. | Andrew |
| Without doubt!! But Wally WhiteWash Chippie will do nothing…he needs all the votes he can get for October, and sacking her will alienate the Greens who they desperately need to win! | Robyn |
| What a sad country we have become under this Labour govt | Chris |
| It should have been an instant result of her appalling behaviour | Geoffrey |
| Davidson should have been sacked immediately after making her comments.All members of parliament and all employees working for government agencies should be asked one question “What is a WOMAN ?”. Those who cannot or refuse to answer should be sacked on the spot. | Steve |
| Despite her hollow apology her statement on the day confirm her biased attitude to white males. | Allan |
| And now! | John |
| If I (a white woman) had spoken as she did, I would have been annihilated. As a politician and Maori she was indeed racist with her comments. | Dot |
| I would never vote for the Green party. | David |
| She is a vile racist. | P |
| absolutely | Jim |
| Her Statement was appalling and she laughed and thought it as funny. | Helen |
| Most Definitely. An absolute disgrace. | Noel |
| Racist B**** | Graham |
| She is a disgrace to NZ and to the Maori people as a whole. She needs to be removed from Parliament for her divisive race-based views | Pauline |
| Uninformed, sexist, racist person who is not fit to be in government let alone as a Minister. | Henry |
| Of course she should loose her position for the absurd comments made. If Hipkins does not sack her then he is just as bad and should also go. lets get rid of these clowns | Tom |
| She should be gone from Parliament | carol |
| People like Marama Davidson are an absolute nonsense in Parliament, with no positive outcome for the community but huge self publicity as wahine Maori striving to reduce family violence. Facts speak for themselves. She needs to be thrown out of Parliament, it’s a disgrace to have her there. | Galina |
| Absolutely Marama Davidson needs to go her true feelings were expressed that day and we are heading down a very dangerous path. The divide that has happened over the last few years is a worrying trend. | Rob |
| If it was the other way around you can imagine the stink most of the racism comes from the very ones who claim it comes from us the mainly white population When is National going to step up and tell us when they are going to make a few promises or are we going to get the same crap from them Vote Act | Peter |
| She is dangerous, just dangerous. The thought she way have another 3 years to spout her vile bigotry makes the water in my FEMALE bladder turn to ice. | Linzey |
| It is very obvious that she is totally out of control, and can no longer disguise her hatred for white people, especially men. She was never fit to be in parliament and if she is not removed it will expose the sham that purports to be our governing body. On a related matter; do not blame the police for their lack of action; blame YOURSELF! It has been common knowledge that the NZ police are not fit for anything except rampaging around heavily armed and armoured at the least excuse, and collecting speeding fines. Nothing has been done to improve matters, and while ever people keep voting dishonest groups with hidden agendas into power, nothing will be done. | TOBY |
| Absolutely yes! It is good though that she and other ministers are exposing their true selves well before the upcoming election. Davidson may have won the votes of a few rainbow people with her remarks, but I bet she has lost a vast swathe of middle NZ support for the Greens. | Pamela |
| A member of our NZ Parliament should set an example to ALL NZ people. Her yelling out things like she did was an embarrassment to us all. | Barbara |
| Her comments show the real person and that shows she is not worthy of holding a ministerial role. | Peter |
| Clearly not fit to be a Minister and incredibly weak of Hipkins not to fire her. | Alister |
| but that was never going to happen the frenzied mob had their way. | ken |
| Davidson should have resigned, or been sacked by PM Hipkins. I actually wrote to both Greens Party co-leaders, and PM Hipkins, telling the three of them this. Surprise, surprise, no reply. Total lack of leadership from them. | Greg |
| The Greens & Labour have to go. They are a disgrace. The politicization the nastiness that pervades NZ is appalling. The Universities also have to take some responsibility for promulgating these ideas . The nonsense has to stop. | Evelyn |
| Her ignorance of the statistics is disgraceful. | Layor |
| She certainly exposed her belief that white men are the cause of all ills. She is absolutely indoctrinated and not fit to be co-leader of anything. I feel sorry for her white husband! She is foul mouthed too, | Jo |
| Accountability is everything in any role. Racism is abhorrent, extreme anger is dangerous, and a voice that shouts out misleading and deeply insulting information should not be heard; Marama Davidson | Christine |
| She’s a nasty hypocritical racist who incites violence, cannot be trusted and deserves to lose her job.. The world would be a happier and more just place without her. | Helen |
| 100% she strongly meant it no excuses she MUST resign she is a racist | Richard |
| She is dangerous, just like our latest x PM | Keith |
| Most definitely … Evil ..she should never have been gifted a ministerial position in the first instance. Sick thing. | Alan |
| Shameful behaviour from anyone let alone a Minister of the Crown. | John |
| She knowingly trashes the office she holds and its conventions and responsibilities. It is clear that she is determined to undermine our system of government and democracy in NZ | Roger |
| Not only for her comments but for complete incompetence as a politician. Every thing she does is along racist lines! | Murray |
| Here is an example of Maori in charge. | Wayne |
| Disgusting behaviour and language. A taste of what is to come? | Trudy |
| racist cow | barry |
| she’s just a radical extremist | jan |
| To hear & see such vehement actions from anyone should merit being put in court! But if you claim to be a Maori – go ahead no action will be taken – WRONG!! | Peter |
| Stable society does not include a minister of the Crown indulging in vile hate speech. Needs to be sacked | Patricia |
| she is unsound | grant |
| Davidson is a disgrace to New Zealanders. She should head back to the Islands from whence her forebears came. Ablution block cleaning seems to be the limit of he ability. | Chris |
| She is so disgustingly racist that she should never be allowed to be a member let alone a minister. | Barbara |
| and a few others too | Gill |
| Absolutely. We are sick of these hardened female Maori activists and the racist comments they spout. | Mary |
| She’s a racist ever if there was one!!!!!! | Les |
| Maori can say things about Pakeha but we can say things about them or we are called racist. | Ron |
| Absolutely categorically yes yes yes! | Joe |
| She is a disgrace to this country, and should not be removed permanently from all positions of influence before she does any more damage to this beautiful country! | Denise |
| Typical inconsisteant directions from Gvt- that should apply across the nation. If I did anything like that Imagine- I’d be thinking of bread and water diet in isolation. Sacked & begone. just an emotional rant. Failed. | mike |
| Absolutely! | Felicity |
| She obviously believes what she has said, and she said it with venom! James Shaw needs to go as well, he has supported her. | Linda |
| Not only MD, but those ministers who came out with the in incendiary statements should be censured. KirinAllen was admonished by Andrew Little for forgetting that she was always a Minister of the Crown,. Michael Wood and Grant Robertson should also heed that advice. | Susan |
| If a white person said it they would be gone before lunch! | Mark |
| It’s unacceptable that a minister of the crown should use their private views in a manner which gives the ok for others to do and say the same things. New Zealand is falling through the cracks. God save New Zealand, the labour party and the greens certainly won’t | Trevor |
| She should probably also lose her co-leadership position in the Green Party, a large percentage of whose members very likely ARE “cis white men”. Oops … | Sue |
| This woman s clearly not of suitable character to be a Minister. Biased and a liar! | Mark |
| Asap | Anthony |
| Definitely. There should not even be a debate. What ever Stuart Nash has done pales in comparison. This woman is so racist she needs to go | Rod |
| If a white MP commented on the much higher rate of Maori domestic violence there would be calls for that MP to be forced to resign from Parliament. | Chuck |
| Racist comments out of order. Not representative of our nation’s thinking. | Tom |
| Most definitely, absolutely! We can not have politicians in our government holding such views. She should be thrown out! | Colin |
| she should be sacked as the racist that she is ! | Alison |
| Need to go as does this divisive Labour Government | Carl |
| racist dogma has NO place in this country. | bruce |
| For such a reaction to be so close to the surface that she couldn’t control the outburst is evident she has far deeper grievances than we know. In such a time we would all react with a few choice bleeps but a deliberate aim is unforgiveable for a public servant. | Sharron |
| She is a disgrace, not only to women, but the whole country. Her dramatically incorrect statistics show she is not even aware of her own portfolio. | michele |
| Yes! This demonstrates that it’s the older pale guys that have more wisdom in their little fingers than the likes of Madame Davidson ever will have. She and people like her are simply not fit to be anywhere near to be having any involvement in leadership roles of any kind. | Greggory |
| She is a dangerously prejudiced, uninformed Labour Party sanctioned Green List Government Minister representing just over 7% points of the wider NZ electorate. Her background, qualifications and admirable intentions are regrettably overshadowed by her divisive prejudices. | Murray |
| Marama Davis is an elected politician. When deciding to enter politics she should have shelved her prejudices/biases while in the role of government minister. Because she cannot, she should not be in that role. She has shown her biases and prejudices and articulates them in her role as a Minister. Too often we are allowing our standards to slip downward – it is a slippery slope and eventually we get to the bottom. The loser in this is democracy | Sylvia |
| Marama is a woke virtue signalling racist and is not suitable to be a Minister of the Crown or even a member of parliament. | Lynne |
| Of course she should lose her position if it was me said the same thing would be gone by lunch time | russell |
| Yes! The sooner the better. | Ron |
| loose comments unbecoming a minister of the crown, with no factual reference. | Barry |
| Marima Davidson’s comment is the very cause of the divisions occurring in our New Zealand communities, which she claims to be defending. It is hypocritical and she must go. And GO NOW!! | David |
| She disgraces Parliament, her race and our country. Nasty piece of work. | mick |
| Ms Davidson exhibited a low level depraved mind. People of this ilk should not be elevated above the level of the gutter in which they seem to be more comfortable. | Garry |
| She is clearly unfit to hold a ministerial warrant. | Bruce |
| No place for separatism in NZ | Kay |
| Her comment was racist, ignorant and hatred-inciting. She isn’t worthy of her taxpayer-funded position. | Fiona |
| She can never act without bias | Roger |
| Useless green | Allan |
| As you may know the Maori roll is open for enrolments, you would also know that John Key said on national TV that anyone could become a Maori. Many years ago I went along and enrolled, was no problem. I have been on the roll for many elections, the plan being to keep the Maori Party OUT of Parliament by voting Labour in my Maori Electorate here in the South Island. My DNA says that I am an Ancient Briton with 20% Scottish DNA. So if we all registered on the Maori Roll we would have TOTAL power !!!! | Brian |
| She should be sacked as a MP | John |
| She is so racist her position is untenable. She confirmed it at her Rotorua conference the following day | Kay |
| This racist fool should not be a member of our government at all. She was not elected by the people. | Charlie |
| Yes, her messaging was racist and purposely inflammatory. | gavin |
| There needs to be at least some level of intelligence required for any person to stand for parliament. The division in our society is at a seriously critical point, NZ will continue to fall into a state of Apathy and chaos. Meantime the brain drain is in full flow.. again! | Bryan |
| The whole lot need to be sacked,the sheeple of this country need a kick up the backside to wake up in get involved in these serious issues. Stop watching free to air paid & bought for media & do some research & see how you are being conned & screwed by this corrupt commie regime & don’t count on Luxon to change anything. | Allen |
| We constantly hear of politicians who break parliamentary rules, clearly not fit for the job. | Roy |
| Without question. She is racist, foul mouthed and completely incompetent. Our parliamentary system should not have a place for this type of behaviour. | chris |
| She is a racist | David |
| No question about it. She is a vile liar. | Allan |
| Marama is an absolute disgrace and unfit to be an MP, let alone a minister of the crown. NZ deserves much better than her! | Greg |
| It was appalling to hear her and I feel no support as a woman from this minister. She didn’t even know what Parker was speaking about she just assumed she was against trans people when in fact she was supporting women in having women only places to feel safe in and compete fairly in. She’s ignorant and racist. | Lynne |
| And she should be indicted under her Governments own Laws for inciting Racial and Gender Violence. It is a form of Domestic Terrorism. But then she is controlled by the New World Order and has to follow their delusional Agenda | Geoff |
| She should be arrested. | John |
| If I said what she said I would be hounded as a racist. | Martin |
| She should definitely be sacked. Extremely racist person. | Eileen |
| YEs, a thousand times yes. Even more so because she exacerbated her lying by attributing her words and attitude to a trivial motor cycle incident when it was clear that she was not “damaged” , just totally fixated on her mantra chanting. | Vernon |
| Racist comments and lies are no place for the likes of Marama Davidson | Margaret |
| Of course she should … along with any politician with divisive views. | Robbie |
| She is totally unfit to be a minister of the Crown | David |
| Her racist rant was untrue and shows her true character, not fit for parliament | Peter |
| My goodness! Please let common sense prevail. We need level headed people representing us. | Doris |
| YES,YES,YES. IF A WHITE PERSON HAD SAID THAT ABOUT A MAORI PERSON THERE WOULD BE HELL TO PAY AND WE WOULD NEVER HERE THE END OF IT, YES SHE SHOULD GO. | COLIN |
| She’s a racist masquerading as a politician | Kevin |
| Outrageous | robin |
| If it were not the fact she is Maori , I’m SURE Marama would have been at least demoted from co-leadership of the Greens and lost her Ministerial warrant. She sounded demented and unbalanced in her rantings . She has CLEARLY demonstrated she is racist and that alone shows she lacks the neutrality and balance to hold ministerial office , let alone be the co-leader of the Greens who are part of Government. The very minor motorbike ( handgrip contact) incident provided a very convenient excuse for Hipkins and Shaw to do nothing . Conspiracy ? You decide ! | Hugh |
| Definitely | Gerry |
| A vile poisonous and frankly dangerous individual | Mike |
| Disgraceful | Ronny |
| Racist liars should never be in government. Marama Davidson is a disgrace | Vanessa |
| Send her to South Africa | John |
| And her misandry. | Barend |
| most definitely | Richard |
| After that outburst, the question should really be; was it correct for PM Chris Hipkins to remove Marama Davidson from her ministerial posts? Clearly he doesn’t have his finger on the pulse of the average Jo and Joanne in the street. | Chris |
| And the others held to account for stirring up the violence | Chris |
| She should be sacked , not resign but sacked | Lorraine |
| Racist, sexist, wrong, and totally unworthy. Give her the boot! (figuratively speaking, of course) | Mark |
| This lot in Govt., are all touched in the brain department in my opinion. In all my years, I have never seen such an ignorant bunch, of idiots. | Merryl |
| The minister, who I think is one outside cabinet, should be spoken to and told by the P.M. why it is right for men to have the same rights as women and that there are only men and women, period. She should be further told her ministerial pay and responsibilities are over. | Ray |
| Both reds and blues are scared of those identifying as maori | chris |
| She is helping to divide our N Z | Gordon |
| she only walked back her racist spiel due to pressure that Hipkins raised about their election chances | Mike |
| A public flogging would be a warning too. Enough is enough from these amateur pollies, We need Government not social controllers. | Kevin |
| Unacceptable behaviour from an MP let alone a Minister. | Steve |
| Her public announcement was not only wrong, it was racist and inflammatory. Not the conduct we expect of a Minister of the Crown | Terry |
| She should go | Debbied |
| Marama Davidson should be sacked she is racist and biased .I am absolutely shocked by the behaviour by some of those ministers in parliament. Hopefully they will be gone at election time. I am deeply deeply concerned where our country is heading or has already gone. | Denise |
| She is manifestly unsuitable for public office given her racist views on all matters and her manifest prejudices. | Susan |
| I moved to Australia in 2009 and returned to NZ earlier this year. I am appalled at the transformation in those years from a largely peaceful, cooperative society to one in which bitterness, hatred and violence has become widespread, aided and abetted by self-seeking politicians who have clearly forgotten why they are in Parliament. | David |
| Under the FPP system, persons with mindsets like Davidson’s would never have been elected to parliament. | Jim |
| Yes she should, and it should be demanded by the people of this country. She is not fit to be a Minister of the Crown. It is bad enough that Labour and Greens have seemingly brought in a form of Apartheid into our country, without her ranting and blaming one group of people and using insulting language to boot. She should be gone. | Heather |
| Racism is not okay towards white men if some had said brown men are thre cause of all violence in NZ they would have been fired straight away even though the stats say they are we don’t stand up and pick on one culture. What has happen to this country? | Grace |
| Yes. Definitely. | reg |
| She needs to go. Other people have been removed for lessor comments. | Mike |
| Her lack of integrity and dignity and her racial bias make her unfit to be a minister in our country. | Margaret |
| I’ve known Marama for since before her entry to Parliament, and she struck me as an extremely racist woman all those years ago. Sack her. | Colin |
| Disgraceful | Nathan |
| Where are the “normal” people in parliament? Certainly seems not many in labour. | Richard |
| Absolutely. Words spoken in anger more often than not reflect true inner thoughts | David |
| She’s not fit to be an MP, let alone a Minister. She is a prime example of a minority bigot and racist, though. Something all too common in our progressive socialist elite. | Derek |
| Of course. AND so should the Minister of Justice–that Kiri Allan–another disgrace. | Graham |
| After suffering a “trauma” a persons utterances reflect their deep core beliefs. Marama Davidson revealed her utter hatred of white men and needs to be removed form government. | Ken |
| Of course as should they idiot school teacher Kelvin Davis. before her. If it was a white person that said similar comments they would be hounded out mercilessly. Scrub Luxon, he knows that the white right want Maori seats abolished, all race laws abolished and a call back law introduced to deal with double dealing politicians. He has delivered nada and avoids the subject altogether and we are still hearing about what is worrying Maori & Pasifika every time we turn on a radio or TV and how much they have been given to solve the problem, further exacerbating inflation. Hipkins has dropped nothing of Labour’s aims in his disposals programme and the Labour Party remains a Progressive National Socialist Party in disguise. A bit like the big bad wolf dressing up as Little Red. This is still not a Labour Party but a dictatorship trying to buy votes in certain sectors to stay in power.The rest of the world could be heading for a recession but I’m afraid Robertson may well have orgainised a depression for us in NZ.. Having Luxon in charge will be something like having Frank Spencer in charge and the whites that have not as yet left the country will be having to find a stronger right wing party to invest their votes in. | Terry |
| Absolutely Marama Davidson should be sacked as a Minister. She is racist and biased against men. | Roger |
| The violence on display that weekend was awful, and the fact that the police were there and did nothing is a disgrace. With Ministers displaying radical activism and bias, the media no longer reporting the truth, and the cops not doing their job, our society is falling apart. That is the legacy of Jacinda Ardern! | Murray |
| Of course Hipkins should sack her. The whole Green Party are racist against white men. So are the Labour Party for that matter – and the Maori Party. God help the country if those three parties form the next government. | Eric |
| Marama Davidson is not fit to be a Minister with her racist bias against men. What a shocker she is. But I bet Hipkins hasn’t got the guts to sack her. Labour needs the Green Party, if they are to form a government, and he won’t want to do anything to upset them. | Diane |
| National should not let up on Marama Davidson – she should be forced to apologise to white men for what she said, which is a pack of lies. And yes, of course she should be sacked! | Bruce |
