What I hate the most is all these terms, te ao maori, manaakitanga, kaitiaki, etc, imply the the maori version of anything is more wholesome and sacred. I find this exceedingly offensive
Sounds like you have self-esteem issues. Sorry about it.
The feeling is mutual, haere ki England
well said Micheal thank you
I am speechless.
Another invented mythical moari name (ridiculous) to allow a few moari minority to clip the ticket in the gravy train .
Like that Pakeha invented name "boomer". I believe it generally describes people like Mike Laws.
@DaHandDatFeeds boomer comes from the US lol.
Use ENGLISH !!!
Wow you really call a spade a spade Michael, well done.
It's nonsense on stilts....
No wonder you're still in school.
@DaHandDatFeeds lol and you're subscribed to pewdiepie.
It’s the same as believing that Maori have a greater affinity to the environment and water….what a load of sh$t
Considering your comment and Mike's loony ideas, it sounds like they've good reason to.
@@DaHandDatFeeds Shows your ignorance given Maori cleared 60% of the native bush in nz and made almost 30 bird species extinct. Try stick to talking to things you actually know something about
@@rJBowker007 Europeans brought over predators that exponentially made more birds and wildlife extinct than Maori ever did. Gum stripping and uncontrolled slash-burn by settlers destroyed most of the forests. EG. 50000 acres in two days burned. Then sawmills went up after settler expansion in 1840. 8 million hectares total. Want me to keep going?
@@rJBowker007 If you need to cherry-pick and exaggerate to make points, then you have no points.
@@DaHandDatFeeds you can if you want but you’ve clearly missed the point. My point was no race has more affinity with the environment than the other. At the end humans are all pretty much the same. The best thing you can do is make countries wealthy because they’re much more likely to look after their environment t when they are. You probably think Māoris were better off before the Europeans too haha that’s funny. Look up their average age before the Europeans came.
Money, land and power, by whatever means is necessary..
Explain?
That’s the colonisation story, that’s how British got here, Prove me wrong please,please!
Add spirit to your water. Drink responsibly. 🤪.
😂 Och aye!
Sounds like he open throated the whole "spirit" of corporatism.
Why can't official government agencies use English as the primary name since most people speak English as a first language. I have no idea which agencies are when only in Moari naming.
Most of the maori language is new today , when maori was put into written language 1790 , Latin English,.hence so called scolars making up words to suit .
Without clean water your screwed. We treated natural things with respect until European came here now look
Can't understand a damn word of these government names.
It means ‘the importance of water’
That wasn’t too hard for you to understand was it?
@@poerava No, because its now in English, idiot.
Interpreting mythology which is metaphysical and largely symbolic in literal legislation seems like a new low. Religion is actually great for moral development and key for civilization but to interpret it literally is a huge mistake . . .
So Democracy doesn't take a religious morality into it's laws?
@@DaHandDatFeeds Who is this democracy that you speak of. And yes we derive laws from religious morality, but not from a literal interpretation.
@@DaHandDatFeedsyou are really a piece of work
@@takethel6284 Michael Laws isn't a champion of literal interpretation, unfortunately.
@@robertwoodroffe123 and you never really add anything of value. Must be frustrating for you.
In Singapore the common language is English and the next is the one of your ethnicity. Both are taught in schools as they understand you have to be able to communicate with the world and with your family. No one tries to confound the greater public with dialect or mythology.
And what?? we not in Singapore .
@@wiremunuku7618 With all due respect, are we not allowed to live in reality in NZ? We don't have the productivity to have the luxury of everyone having their hand out or blowing in the wind of every fad or fast fashion. Everyone has bills to pay and they can't rely on the mythical money tree. If 100% of Maori were fluent in Te Reo I would say brilliant. But that won't help us function outside our borders where we make our money to finance our lifestyle.
Yes but your pakeha reality is not our reality when it comes to looking after natural resources eg:water which Te Mana o te Wai is all about, and im only talking about saving our water not paying bills, we are actually hired because regional councils failed to manage and keeping our waterways safe and clean.
No idea what that means. It should be illegal to ask questions in Parliament in Maori as it excludes 95% of us.
If you're going to take that creation myth and apply it to every policy that relates to water, you're first going to have to separate the water below from the water above 😂
"Nothing absolutely nothing penetrates ze firmament"

I thought that all government entities were going to change their cuzzy/bro names into English so everyone knows what they are.
Centralisation of the governance of town supply water has had a wonderful result - tap water in our cities and towns now stinks of chlorine. Once, Wellington and Christchurch tap water was lovely. Now, you need to filter it for, say, tea or coffee. Terrific.
It's about putting the environment first.. which is a good thing. I also think we need to respect each other, Michael. Obviously we don't share the same views and outlook, and that's OK.. and I think that differences should be respected, not made fun of or belittled.. with Te Tiriti o Waitangi as our founding basis, we are a nation with bicultural foundations, now with multicultural societies so respect is the only way forward. mauri tū, mauri ora
Nice work
What is any of this? None of it means anything to me. I speak only English and French.
I ignore communication in languages I do not speak. Nor do I see why 85% of us have to have things named in languages we don’t speak and don’t want to speak.
Deaf blind and dumb
The only spirit in my water is life, it comes from above and I catch it in my 25000 litre tank and the best part is, it's free, I named it WATER OF LIFE.
Wait until you will be charged for its use. As Nanni Mahuta was forced to admit was her plan all along.
That's... actually awesome.
All about trying to get MONEY! Just creating another GRAVY TRAIN for the snouts!
It’s amazing how much crap over the past 6 years labour has created
And who is getting the money from the pile of crap
te mana o te wai ' the money from the water' ....change our founding document into a funding document.
taniwha shit in the water makes it worth gold.
Love it😂
Michael, you’re looking to win the ‘woke karen’ award of NZ media.
Does the water myth cover the water I pass each day?
Michael, please tell me if an ""actual fact"" is different to a ""fact"". I have never understood why it is so common in the south island.
Factual 🤔
Bust out your Mauri Meter
The “spirit of aloha” has recently been invoked to disenfranchise Hawaiians from the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution; the right to keep and bear arms.
Michael, the New Zealand National Anthem is ‘God Defend New Zealand’, perhaps you should familiarise yourself with the words from all nine verses. The God of the Bible has great relevance in our country. 1 John 4:1
Fair not trusting councils look at where we are.
Go Michael !!!!! Well spoken...
Hear hear... When will this bullshit stop?
The Labour minister issued a Policy Statement in Feb 2023 that Te Mana o te Wai does NOT mean the mana of the water; it means the exclusive power of decision over water allocation is given to the local iwi. The local iwi are given power to issue a Directive to the Regional Council which the Council shall follow. This is based on the myth that local Maori understand the river they “own” better than white people. Of course, in many cases there was no local iwi living off the river. Most South Island rivers had no local iwi.
Keep up the good work Michael.
Water is a special case. That we have an open discussion about how it is managed has much deeper implications than it has been given. Masaru Emoto's experiments displaying the different crystalline patterns formed when freezing water into ice crystals when exposed to different musical compositions, suggests this.Austrian Victor Schauberger used to go into the forest, lose his consciousness to nature and come back with knowledge he said came to him in that state. The anti flouride movement that warns of the calcification of the pineal gland or third eye because of it's sensitivity to light(unexplainably yet we see Egyptian carvings of Pharoahs with the conical shaped pineal gland clearly portrayed)is another consideration. The reduction of everything down to what we can see and touch belies the fact that everything is actually energy. We are so ignorant, it behoves us to tread carefully and respectfully as our ancestors have learnt and conveyed in myths and stories from all cultures, not just Maori.
Spracky ze doitch! ✋️🧐💛
This is funny, hit the translate & get "slacks from doitch!" ...a good advertising meme...
@@greenrosenz ja das ist gut "Seek Higher"🙋♂️💚⚘️
@@God-Zin-uru SPEAK ENGLISH
@DaHandDatFeeds you and him would probably get on lol.
"EXACTLY" ✌️😉💛
Divide and conquer. You’re been played people… dont bite.
time to start pushing back on this mumbo jumbo. i am ok with it in context but this stuff should not be the basis of policy f9r the majority of the population
Swap the name with The Holy Spirit and see how they then react
There's a lot of 'mauri' in beer, and bourbon, gin, whiskey, wine etc etc...............stupidity and BS. Cheers Michael.
That moari crap is seperating the people they go no respect for anyone just themselves
Water has intelligence . It reacts to communication. That a scientific fact.
Mike Laws is a raving layman who manages to drop the iq of all who listen to him.
Reacting to sounds waves isn't a sign of intelligence lol.
Still bludging off the rate payer, hypocrite.
Love your work Michael but maybe leave translating Maori language and concepts to those who have an appreciation and genuinely understand it. Anti Maori ism will rot this country to its core.
Thanks for showing us your thoughts sir. You have shown us you need to think about things 1 part at a time. I guess it gives you an ability to somehow be relevant and keep your show going.
Nz answer to Tucker Carlson ,.. driving division talk !!.
Absolutely right every country needs a tucker calson to bring the truth to the public
🦬💩
Driving iq's down at the same time
@DaHandDatFeeds you have 0 to contribute to the conversation. Stop leeching attention lol.
@@AmonAnon-vw3hr So you live in an echo chamber, got it
Mr Laws. I enjoy your show. Like all of us, you too one day will have a date with the truth. After this episode I was going to say you are full of a fair amount of shit yourself. However, you, like us all, were created in the image of God. So I won't 😉
Keep the interesting discussions going 👍Nga mihi nui
You lady are a peice of kaka yourself no cincept of fact and fiction
I feel like I lose braincells listening to Mike Laws I don't know how you do it.
@DaHandDatFeeds lol nah you lost those looong ago.
Completely get your points on questioning the legislating of mythological concepts but you lose me at the end Mike. Ecosystems aren't bottomless breakfasts. The health of the environment must be accounted for because of the services they provide which benefit us. You can't take and take and expect to have it there till the end of time. You should know given the water overallocation issues in Otago.
Democracy was founded on mythological concepts. He doesn't know or project anything of higher intelligence, except more bootlicking of his Atlas objectivist mates
This guy literally sounds like a raving nutcase "ohh they prioritize trout over Humans!" No. Thriving trout is an indicator of good quality water. Literally. But The Platform was never really good at using scientific method, or any method other than hate and division, really.
Not agreeing with you isn't hate. Again, you contribute nothing.
@@AmonAnon-vw3hr I'm giving back what he gives. If you can't handle it, do better.
@@DaHandDatFeeds You are just an angry socialist, being angry and trying to force everyone to do what deem to be correct is what you guys do. FYI NZ has had a guts full of that BS!
