Hone’s Diary | 20 June 2011

Posted on June 21, 2011 by admin in Korero

Monday Awesome day! A fiery debate on RNZ, then we stopped off in Moerewa for my moko’s powhiri at her kura (Taumarere).

Then canvassing down Waitakere which turned into a media show with Te Karere, TV3 and a photographer following me, but still a good korero with constituents

Into the city for an interview about my employment proposals which are causing a bit of a stir and have even got Kelvin trying to steal them, so they must be pretty good eh?

Then I did Te Karere with Shane Taurima who gave me a really hard time compared to the interviews of the other two – but still I handled it OK I think.

Then over the Shore for some more door-knockin’ with Sky News taggin’ along, with a couple of whanau with really different prospects but still all part of the bigger whanau of Tai Tokerau, before we closed the night with a catch up with MANA Rakipaewhenua.

Tuesday I gotta hui in Wellsford (last minute job), then we gotta stop off in Whangarei, Kawakawa and Kaikohe to share the MANA before we get back to Kaitaia for a debate in the afternoon and a radio show at night.

Wednesday I start with a breakfast in Te Kao and then we back on the road again.
