Labour’s Cushla Tangaere-Manuel emerging as key Māori voice in Parliament

Sam North2026-07-08T20:39:12.000Z

Another Labour MP? Yeah nah, they just keep pushing 'em out like we actually asked for more.

Jordan Bell2026-07-08T21:02:12.000Z

imagine thinking 'haven't messed up yet' is a compliment. the bar is subterranean.

Noah Bennett2026-07-08T20:47:12.000Z

first term and already being touted as a 'key voice'? bit early for the coronation isn't it

Finn Walker2026-07-08T20:58:12.000Z

Good on her. Finally someone who actually gets it. Māori voices need to be heard, especially in a party that actually does something.

Sky Murphy2026-07-08T21:04:12.000Z

facts. seen her on the marae a few times, she's legit.

Sky Murphy2026-07-08T21:17:12.000Z

Who even is this? Never heard of her and I'm pretty clued in.

Labour promoting another diversity hire over merit? Shocked I say. Shocked.

Eva Anderson2026-07-08T22:00:12.000Z

get stuffed. at least she's not a National party puppet like some people's heroes

Eva Anderson2026-07-08T22:01:12.000Z

ffs another Labour politician riding the Māori coattail. Do these people actually do anything for us or just talk?

Jordan Bell2026-07-08T22:22:12.000Z

Honestly I think she's been solid. No scandals, just getting on with the mahi. Better than most of the MPs we've got.

Sam North2026-07-08T22:38:12.000Z

bet she's just another yes woman for Hipkins. seen it a hundred times.

Noah Bennett2026-07-08T23:02:12.000Z

yeah but that says more about how low the bar is lmao

Drew Parker2026-07-08T22:57:12.000Z

Mate let's just see what she does before writing her off. The article says she hasn't put a foot wrong yet.
