Thank you for the analysis. The issues are very concerning and need clear, independent heads to ensure trust in the outcomes.

As concerning as this is, and hey can we be fair here, that so many other breaches happen in other parties too, but they get buried by the dominant forces in culture and society. We seem to lurch from a potential juicy coalition government one, and its a quick lurch away....like the Taranaki guy.......what happened to all his shite? We lurch to something else juicy, to confirm prejudices and take the heat off. Sorry Bryce, I think you are awesome.......but I sense a bit of pleasure here in this one, like a dog finding a fav bone it had forgotten about. Yeah, Maori bashing is a thang! And there's traction for all the redneck types who will think, told ya so, kick em out, de-register them etc etc et al.

I find all that kinda sad. Yup of course there is a Maori elite who look after themselves, money and power corrupts..........we could all be there. The reasons things are done, maybe more cunning than evil and self serving.......... I do wish Peeni Henare had gotten in.

How long have maori not been getting any traction since Te Tiriti, try to get justice in a white world, with white law and white kaupapa. AND now we have this very very serious and very very juicy bone...........another opposition party scandal like the Greens. I smell rats, and I don't think they are where people are saying they are. Give us a decent ACt, NZ 1st or Nat scandal........dunno who the scandal digger is...........I have gut feelings but won't say. He don't wear a robe and comes across squeaky clean.............but serious, it's not follow the money anymore, it's follow the scandal.............lets make it look like we are okay.

It will back fire..................if other politicians can do what they do and be teflon.......why would we think this will stick...................maybe coloured skin helps stick. This is like a smokescreen for other shite, or beat up the lefty or the 1st nation people. Please don't enjoy it Bryce, I like you too much, and have felt you were pretty fair across the board.......but I sense something different, like kicking someone when they are down.................oh yeah, its allowed, Maori have no special status, and writing says they have enjoyed a special kinda protection from stuff like this..........................all the Act and NZ 1st peeps will ....oh and Brash and Co, Batchelor et al...........they will be in the louge watching the news yelling yeeesss! and fist pumping and high fiving. This is what they want. Not me.........maybe I am a minority too. And I hope the Democracy Project isn't a front like some other organisations who use that word, or Freedom.....and they have an agenda deep down.
