Te Pāti Māori is standing by comments made by MP Mariameno Kapa-Kingi which other parties have called inflammatory and offensive.

In Parliament last Wednesday, Te Tai Tokerau MP Mariameno Kapa-Kingi said the government “will not waver in its mission to exterminate Māori”.

Tad hyperbolic, don’t you think?

    Nobody is thinking the government wants to commit mass murder of Maori like Israel is doing in Gaza. What people are saying is that the government wants to erase the Maori culture and language. This is of course a huge task and they won’t be able to do it in one shot or even one term so they are doing everything they can this term and if they are given additional terms they can continue that work.
