Its bloody obvious that Don Brash has jumped the shark by concentrating on Maori issues this election.
The number one issue is the economy and Brash has put just one elongated piece of Perigo waffle out yesterday about inflation. Thats the big brain hit. Or miss. Today he's back on his eurocentric, paternalistic monologue on whats good for Maori. And instead of telling Maori to look forward he has told them to look back.
Maori don't vote ACT, they don't want to stand for ACT and they definitely don't want to be associated with Don Brash.
We reckon a lot more vote National now but thats cos National has frilly pink knickers on these days.
In fact Brash is so hated that Willie Apiata could be #1 on the ACT list and Maori still wouldn't vote ACT. Instead they would just lift their skirts or drop their trous and give Brash a look see at the hairy brown eyeball.
So in the interests of political enlightenment I gave Cactus a call about the Brash's latest stunt. I wanted to know what she thought about Brash hugging the crap out of Apirana Ngata's tombstone.
Ngata died in 1950 so he's Brash's perfect Maori running mate for ACT. He can't talk back cos he is dead. He wont tell Brash he is wrong and we know Brash likes being associated with Brown people - his wife is Asian and as Winston Peters reckons Asians are just Maori who stayed north of the equator. So Brash the living cadaver - wants to resurrect the corpse of the great man and because Brash has made so many cock ups -a dead person is all he has left to offer up as a candidate.
Cactus has been prickly lately because she's having to say "no comment" to journos. When Cactus refuses to comment on issues we are pretty sure it means she is livid.
I've known Cactus long enough to be one of the few people in the world with permission to call her before 10am. So I did and told her of Brash's latest stroking of Ngata's tombstone. "Too fucking busy" was her muted answer.The ungrateful bitch hung up in my ear.
We suspect in Dorothy Parker fashion that in fact she aint busy unless you count finding nubile men to entertain her at 2am in the morning as busy.

Brash claims Ngata would be Leader of ACT if he was alive today.
Cactus I know can't comment but reckon she will be all alone in a foetal position clutching a teddy bear for comfort in response to this latest fuckwittery by Brash.
Brash is right - to a point - Ngata loathed the fact that Maori had become addicted to welfare. He did believe in self reliance but he also had some pretty lefty views as Michael Bassett points out in his review of Ranginui Walkers book on Ngata.

Hell WTF??? Special state funding for development schemes ? That would go down a treat in the ACT manifesto.
So Brash finally thinks that he has found the perfect running mate - but it seems that he has picked the wrong dead Maori to epitomise ACT ideals of minimal state intervention.
Brash has to go. And we will be counselling Cactus against having anything to do with the the crazy batty old coot.

I cannot but agree.
Bract will go down in a heap come Nover and MP will prosper.
Cactus did take a very good kick at silly John Ansell on his way out the door though http://asianinvasion2006.blogspot.com/2011/07/moata-on-maorification.html
Yes good post. brash has shown us how low some people will go - and it's very low indeed. The gnats have done the deal in Epsom, so I expect brash to be back after the election - things will get even nastier then.
Marty Mars
No, I don't think things will get nastier.
Dr Brash won't get with a bulls roar of finance and he'll be left to twiddle his thumbs on the sidelines. There is no way National is going to allow any serious fiscal influence to be held by a person who has been deemed accurately as 'an extremist.'
Well adolf I disagree - the deal will be the deal and within that will be plenty of devils. I'd put $2 on brash getting a significant ministerial post after the election - assuming that Epsom aren't sick of being treated like a bad joke, that is.
MM
He may get a ministerial post but the closest he will get to finance is to replace the boufant cowlick and suffer the ignoniny of having the revenue portfolio.
There he can ponder ways to generate gummint income and fulminate, while others less extreme, deal with the real issues involving expenditure.
Where do you start in replying to Anon 21 July. It's staggering that flat earthers like him/her still exist in this day and age. I could write a list as long rebutting everything he/she said. But I've got better things to do. I advise we not make any sudden movements or loud noises eh. And Anon 21 July - keep finger painting on the walls alright.
I agree with you Anon 6.54am. We need to abolish the Maori seats and end seperatism forever.

Didn't Ranginui Walker write that the Maori concept of future was to look behind (muri), on the basis that human interactions tend to repeat so the future although unknown is more likely to be seen from the past (mua)?
Anon: the Keha in Pa-keha means pale skin.
The justification for 4 Maori seats in 1867 was that Maori as landowners deserved representation in Parliament like every other landowner. The injustice element is argued in that the amount of land or population if proportionately derived should have nearer to 40 seats. Indeed things have reversed today and Maori are over represented in proportionality in Parliament, because of the Maori seats. So some would argue that the imbalance or over representation now is a form of redress for failure to treat representation on equal terms in 1867.
Anon 21 July. Go fuck yourself pokokohua!
Anon Part 1 and 2- go back to your 6 pack of DB or whatever, or what you smoke.
The reality is that we are just seeing the really dark side of MMP. Political parties are becoming quite sophisticated in using or abusing MMP to their own ends rather than the needs of the wider electorate. Southern boy, David Parker, is joining the the Epsom race, just to put votes on the board for Labour and his own security.
Let us hope Epsom will be a demonstration that MMP is not the political voting system we need

Doesn't matter about just being a sensible and decent person does it?
Nope, gotta be a maori first.
Unbelievable attitude really, appalling when I really think about it. My race never crosses my mind. You lot have it in the front of all your thinking.
Now give me any example from history where institutional racial or ethnic (for marty) division/privilege has had a positive outcome for humanity.
Martin Luther King would be an ACT member as well if he were alive.
