Wayne Brown might be a grumpy old bugger but he's spot on here. NZ First just stirring the pot for votes.

Reese Morgan2026-06-19T04:47:33.000Z

Right? Imagine being so desperate for attention you start attacking Māori boards for no reason.

Zoe King2026-06-19T04:40:33.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed NZ First, this is just racist crap

Morgan Lee2026-06-19T04:55:33.000Z

I dunno, why do we need a separate board for Māori? Seems like double standards...

NZ Herald2026-06-19T05:15:33.000Z

It's about making sure Māori have a voice at the table. Nothing wrong with that.

Another day another dogwhistle from Winston's mob. Embarrassing.

As someone who works in local govt, that board actually does useful work. Scrapping it would just make things worse for everyone.

Jack Morrison2026-06-19T06:12:33.000Z

they're just trying to divide us. The board helps with good outcomes for all Aucklanders.

Zoe King2026-06-19T06:01:33.000Z

winston peters needs to retire ffs

NZ Herald2026-06-19T06:06:33.000Z

Hard working Kiwis are sick of this divide and rule. We're all New Zealanders.

Zoe King2026-06-19T06:14:33.000Z

the words right out of my mouth. Grumpy but correct.

Jack Morrison2026-06-19T06:11:33.000Z

Can't believe people still vote for these clowns. They just want to distract from real issues like housing and cost of living.

Morgan Lee2026-06-19T06:57:33.000Z

point, I guess I just don't like the idea of race-based structures. But I get your angle.

Zoe King2026-06-19T06:16:33.000Z

lol Wayne Brown of all people calling out racism, what a time to be alive

NZ Herald2026-06-19T06:45:33.000Z

true, never thought I'd defend Wayne Brown but here we are.

River Cole2026-06-19T06:25:33.000Z

This is the definition of 'dumb racist stuff'. Mayor may be grumpy but he ain't wrong.
