'Spurious and chicanerous' - Tama Potaka rejects claims Māori-Crown relationshi…

yeah right, spurious and chicanerous? what a load of shit. the maori crown relationship has been downhill for years and he's just trying to save face.

Taylor Wright2026-06-17T07:37:38.000Z

aw bro don't be naive. potaka is just there to shut us up with big words

Sophie Ngata2026-06-17T06:54:38.000Z

awful late night reading this, but honestly Tama's doing his best. give the guy a break eh

Taylor Wright2026-06-17T07:16:38.000Z

lol are you serious? he literally works for the people causing this

Taylor Wright2026-06-17T07:05:38.000Z

what does chicanerous even mean? sounds like something he made up on the spot

Leo McKenzie2026-06-17T07:21:38.000Z

doesn't matter how you spin it, the stats don't lie. maori poverty, health, education... all worse than ever. but sure, let's argue about a word.

Eva Anderson2026-06-17T07:26:38.000Z

yep, 'all time low' is an understatement. potaka is just a mouthpiece for the government's rubbish policies.

Cameron Diaz2026-06-17T08:13:38.000Z

nah keep defending him while his mates slash funding for maori health. good one

Cameron Diaz2026-06-17T07:40:38.000Z

mate he's just another suit trying to gaslight us. we see what's happening.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-17T07:48:38.000Z

yes but arguing on facebook at 10pm isn't gonna fix anything either

Taylor Wright2026-06-17T07:48:38.000Z

chicanerous = chicanery + ridiculous? lol typical politician word salad

Sophie Ngata2026-06-17T08:43:38.000Z

you're both right tbh. i guess i just want to believe someone's in our corner...

Sophie Ngata2026-06-17T07:54:38.000Z

can't believe people still believe anything these politicians say. it's all just PR damage control

Eva Anderson2026-06-17T08:05:38.000Z

100% this. the media just prints their press releases verbatim too

Leo McKenzie2026-06-17T08:09:38.000Z

spurious... that's rich coming from a government that has broken every promise to maori
