Tama Potaka frustrates me. Somewhere beneath that Tory suit bears the heart of a genuine human being, I feel it in my bones. But I really have to dig through his discourse to hear snatches of it.

I can almost hear its rhythm in the first half of this conversation with Mihi Forbes, which starts […]

Cartoon. Title: Waitangi Tribunal Here we have Tama Potaka grappling with a huge long tail of a huge Taniwha trying to get it back into the genie lamp on the ground by his feet. The Taniwha is wearing a traditional korowai and its arms are casually wrapped over each other. Its demeanour is one of power and happiness. Tama is saying to the Taniwha genie, "The masters want you back in your place!" And the relaxed Taniwha says, "Too late for that e hoa! This genie ain't goin' anywhere!"

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3606...

The Waitangi Tribunal has more support than this government acknowledges. It won't be put out to pasture like some want or believe. The Taniwha Genie is out.

Tama Potaka for Nat leader! I'm serious. You can tell from the careful way he speaks that he doesn't approve of the cocktail government Mr Potatohead has mixed up. But he's responsible and loyal enough to keep his kōrero away from any explicit criticism of his party leader, or the coalition […]
