Posted on July 1, 2011 by admin in Press ReleasesThere will be MANA in the house … at long last!
Something very important happened on Saturday night. For the first time in nearly a century, a revolutionary was elected to the New Zealand Parliament.”

Following his swearing in, Hone will give his first speech as MANA leader and its first MP. All supporters of MANA are invited to join with his whanau from the Tai Tokerau to celebrate this wonderful occasion.

Post Author July 2, 2011 at 12:32 amIt is with respect that I personally decide to support the MANA party. Not only am I ngapuhi, but I believe in you HOne as a leader. although you are not as articulate as Moana Jackson nor Annette Sykes, you do speak what I believe. Also, you are not afraid of what THEY WILL SAY ABOUT YOU. Taku whakaro, is that be honest, listen to the people, admit to your stuff ups. and be the man/woman.
Did i mention, Come to Porirua and plan it well?

Post Author July 13, 2011 at 4:19 pmSaw brief look at your proposed policy. Looks really good but where is the idea about making public or expropriating from private owners our national strategic and public welfare assets not limited to private health, private education, private transport, private banks, private building companies, food outlet and production and most importantly water and our natural assets (oil, power, coal etc), for the betterment of the entire population!? Also i am wondering what your position is about enhancing democracy and the democratic process including more involvement etc. Cheers!

The conflict between Hone and Lockwood Smith over the oath of allegiance has far-reaching implications. Fundamentally it raises the questions of whether the people of Tai Tokerau have the right to choose their own political representative and whether their elected representative should be allowed to stand by the principles on which he was elected.
Hone was elected by the people of Tai Tokerau on the basis of his commitment to the Treaty. Lockwood Smith says that Hone must put the monarchy before the Treaty if he is to sit in the House of Representatives. Therefore this has now become a matter of of democratic principle which affects not only the Hone, not only the people of Tai Tokerau, and not only the Mana Party, but all people of the motu, of all ethnicities, all classes, and all political persuasions.
If Hone is not free to abide by his own principles, and if the people of Tai Tokerau are not free to choose him as their representative, then none of us are free. If he determines to stand on his principles when he is next put to the test by Lockwood Smith, I pledge my total support to his cause.
We would need to know Hone’s intentions as soon as possible in order to plan and mount the most effective campaign. I have faith that we would be successful in such a campaign, and that with determination and sacrifice we could change the political face of our nation for ever. The sooner we can start, the sooner we will achieve our object. At this point, every day counts. Let Hone give the word and we can start committing resources to the struggle.
Naku noa
