Our very own, Once were Warriors "Maori Party MP Hone Harawira has labelled Australian Prime Minister John Howard a "racist bastard" for his radical intervention aimed at stopping child abuse in Aboriginal communities..."I said John Howard is a racist bastard trying to impose racist policies on a people who can't fight back," ... If I was an Aboriginal man in the Northern Territory I would feel like absolute s*** right nowI would have the leader of my country saying I am an alcoholic, I am into pornography, I am into sexual abuse. All I would want to do is go out and smash someone."
Yep, truly a representative of the people, reflecting the feelings of the people, supported the repeal of section 59, yet expresses intense emotional excess and wilful non specific violence - just illustrating a point you might say. The lack of censure for the belated outburst from his own party perhaps indicates they are indeed working as a party, working in concert...
Dr Pita Sharples more moderately stated that "the comments by our own member, Hone Harawira, reflect the level of concern that this situation has generated."
I am sure that John Howard will be deeply hurt by this visceral attack on both his intent and integrity from across the Tasman.
