Nevermind the 2 whiners below. I think Hone once again took a stand against colonial retardation and is showing everyone that he still doesn't give a rat's ass about the white man and his idiotic policies. Respect is earned, not just freely given away. I don't think the british respected anything non-white back than and they for sure as hell aren't doing it now. You want respect? You can start by upholding the damn treaty and than after you do that, you can sail back to engayland, lmao.
i cant believe all the ignorant comments of support for hone - all he had to do was swear the oath, when he turned that into a speech and changed the oath he was asked to leave, its that simple! if i walked onto a marae i would follow their protocol not do as i please, its called respect and some people dont have any!
I respect Hone for standing up for what he and many from Te Taitokerau believe, including myself, but standing on his own korowai whilst walking into parliament for the first time...makes me wonder if he needs to think more carefully about how he approaches main stream politics
I'm not saying that we should condone the bad behaviours of any person - despite their race or creed. But come on - did Hone do anything wrong at all in this clip???? If you think so...then perhaps you need to watch the clip again. Nga manaakitanga o te runga rawa ki runga i a tatou katoa. Ki runga ano i te 'whare paremata' kia whai whakaaro ki te hunga tangata o tenei whenua tonu.
If people understood the words of the waiata and married that up with the speaker asking the whanau to stop singing and to show respect - then the hypocrisy of his request has been unveiled. Those of you who are making negative comments about this situation - I sincerely hope that you are using your critical thinking skills from an informed base. We don't need to beat each other up as Māori - there are already many others lining up to do that.
Aue - I've posted the message below twice - must really feel passionate about this kaupapa. People in the 'house' call out disrespect!!! But Hone was speaking and cut off - not even given a chance to complete his korero. When our children are young - we teach them that it is rude to interrupt whilst others are speaking. But here in this 'house' the culture allows people to yell out like school children - a simple protest in song is displayed and rebuked.
As I watch this link - I didn't see him once behave in a disrespectful manner. I feel for māoridom because we are oft times treated like second rate citizens. Perhaps the falling of the korowai was a tohu of the insincere welcome that was to take place. Pledging allegiance to the crown who has played a role in disenfranchising an entire culture is a bitter cup to drink - but one that we as Māori do, on occasion, for our future generations.
WHY SHOULD HE SWEAR A OATH TO THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND? HE SWORE HIS OATH TO THE TREATY OF WAITANGI.. THAT MAKES ME HAPY..

If John Hatfield's actions weren't bad enough, the cannibals in the gallery jibbering like monkeys were disgraceful.

Hone doesn't know the meaning of the word respect, unless it involves respecting him.
