Typical Labour

When Labour was in Government what ever they done it was ok, because you cannot question them they are right they know all: So even after 1000's of Maori and Non Maori descend onto Wellington in protest of the Foreshore and Seabed Act - They are still right:

That peice of work caused the Maori Party to be formed:

Many more hurts have occured since: Maori Party will be the last Taxi off the Stand:

Which has ended up with the Maori Party in Government under the National Party:

But I have chatted to Labour Party members who have told me I am out of touch with Maori: Even after the Herald reported their Leader bashing Maori to Grey Power, on the same level that Don Brash did in Orewa, talking about seperate Maori:

It may have worked for Brash, but in the context: Alot of people were angry with Labour so many were passionate about that: In the context from Mr Goff it just sounds horrible.

Obviously Mr Goff is going to use what he has in his small arsenal to make the best of what he has: But if ever there was a time for him to mend and build bridges with Maori now is that time: John Key is trying and working hard to make those bridges and is largely doing it very well:

Labour need to get realistic about what they have done to Maori in recent times, and it aint good: They also need to think about how they are going to engage with Maori in the future:
They also need to stop taking those votes for granted:

They need to stop assuming and listen to the people and what they are saying: The way they treat Maori and assume their vote is disgusting: Now finally there are other major parties out there who are able to cater to the needs of Maori:

The way Phil Goff is going he is not doing his Party any favours:
