Terrific music video Nick. I really like Tami Nielson,and that song is very appropiate to your korero today. I went to Tami's concert at Dunedin's magnificent Regent theatre last year. Enjoyed it immensely. Te Pati Māori joined in singing Jacinda "out of government" last thursday. Rawiri's voice rings out over all others. ! Moana Maniapoto payed a tribute to Jacinda at the end of her Te Ao Moana episode on Easter Monday. Her tribute to Jacinda included for Jacinada's farewell speech which she said was everything she expected it would be. Poignant, personal, and humorous. Jacinda was the very first person she interviewed on her program-she finished by saying she hoped Jacinda would do an interview with her again. Her tribute to Jacinda was lovely,and she was obviously pleased that Jacinda had been farewelled beautifully in song. I do enjoy Moana Maniapoto's respectful,and inciteful interviews. She is the exact opposite of Hosking et al.
I am a Labour voter, but I would be happy to see a coalition with Greens and Te Pāti Māori to help the Labour Party to keep focused on climate, poverty, and bicultural issues.
Thanks Nick. Really, really hope your prediction becomes reality. Have just finished reading "The Decade in Tory" by Russell Jones and though it is the UK there are so many parallels to our situation should we get a NACT Govt. The Labour Greens need Te Pati Maori to continue to push hard for the on going recognition of Maori issues.

On the TV this morning the disarming and good kiwi idiom from Labour's Kieran McAnulty pretty much ended the Three Waters thing as an issue. It seemed to me he even disarmed Green spokesperson Eugenie Sage. I just hope the Labour Party does not get into the position of running things alone as they pretty much have during this current term. Labour Party MP's have a history of getting into office and forgetting their supporters. Witness Stuart Nash and Forestry Lobby. Witness last month's sale of Wairoa/Gisborne householders 's power bills and personal information to Mitsubishi for $260mil - signed off by Grant Robertson. I will likely be voting Pati Green and probably support Labour's electoral candidate - the now very high flying toa - Kiri Allan for her final term. She told me at the beginning; "Three terms" and I believe her
Should that scenario play out I hope TPM will make that speech, because should they be in the position described and they went with nats/act they'd have let the whole country down and they'd never be forgiven.

Now that's a speech I'd like to hear!
We can only hope that is the outcome, The alternative is too ghastly to contemplate.
Praying that it will be Labour and TPM! Bring on that speech!

Perfect choice of music video!

Oh what a fabulous music video! Great column Nick!! That speech will be music to my ears x
I sincerely hope that’s the outcome. Tami’s voice is fantastic and this latest album is one of her best.
Excellent speech- leak it, leak it :D
