My mother is full Maori. I'm half Maori.
The half of me that is Pakeha does not reject my Maori culture.
Neither do my family who are 100% Pakeha. Indeed, they embrace Maori culture just as much as anyone else.
New Zealanders are mature enough to accept and embrace Maori culture without...
The Australian cricket team is hated.
And it's all because of the way you play the game.
You're abrasive, aggressive and abusive.
That's not good. That's just not cricket.
And I guess that's where our two nations diverge...
Maori got the right to vote in 1840... in your country you resisted until 1967 (to finally give Aboriginal people citizenship)...
It's 2019 and you still ridicule indigenous culture. It's 'some weird comedy dance'.
You're way out of step...
Maybe I should let you dwell in your deluded belief that Aussies are just adored the world over as 'lovable larrikins'...
Get over yourself mate. Wake up to the fact Australians are hated.
Can I be anymore clear?
You Australians are considered crass, aggressive and toxic. South Africa hates...
The spirit of Cazaly... a spirit we can all embrace...
Even at Geelong there was a massive contingent of Swans fans...
High-flying red-blood...
We are Australia's team...
I think the younger generation is not buying into the bullshit anymore.
The have access to the rest of the world unfiltered 24/7 in a way we never did...
When David Koch on Sunrise says something like 'Only Aussies can truly....' they know that's bullshit straight away.
We have a culture.
We were brought up to honor the game of cricket and not trash it.
As a Maori I know how important honor is to our culture.
We should all strive to be 'better' people and not just languish in a belly-dive into the gutter of underarm bowling and ball tampering...
Being a...
This whole idea 'Oh everyone else is a bogan too' is so totally wrong...
It's a victimhood mentality... it's like saying 'Oh we were the only one's who got caught'...
So you drag the game down with your cheating and then start blaming other countries?
Australians play cricket in a very...
I get sick of all the Kochie-styled 'Australia's the greatest country in the world' type rhetoric that is wheeled out on a daily basis in this country.
Australia is a good country. But please don't tell me it's the greatest society to have ever graced the face of the earth and Australians are...
We are not like you.
Even when we win our first game of the world cup Coney and Waddles are telling us not to get too carried away.
We were clinical and destructive in our bowling attack. We were flawless in our batting. We were perfect in the field. We won emphatically.
But it's not the...
When Robbie Deans was passed over for the ABs top gig, many of us Mainlanders were secretly hoping he would do well with the Wallabies.
We hate Auckland.
Let's not forget that this classic came in at #4...
It is unashamedly conservative in every respect.
Well I heard Mister Young sing about her
Well I heard old Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A southern man don't need him around anyhow
Incredibly popular song here in...
