    I believe he has the ability to follow a pre-prepared script.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Hmm .. I don't want to say yes or no to that question ... mana is both inherited and earned ...

    People can lose the mana they've inherited through their behaviour ... and also enhance the mana they've inherited through their behaviour ...

    I will say that it is not up to Pākehā to comment on the mana of a Māori individual ... but I know you'll draw your own conclusions .. those conclusions just might not be the same as ours ...

    The man is no fool within his own sphere. He has done a lot of good work for Māori, which you will have never seen or heard about because it has never been shown in the media ...

    What you all have seen of Hone in the media is his radical side (which many of us happen to agree with and support). So be careful making judgements abotu the man on your limited knowledge ...

    However, I will say that when he was selected for Te Taitokerau I knew he would not be a good MP ... for many reasons ... and that's how it's turned out.

    Three examples then, for those of us ignorant of this 'good work' aimed (rather racistly, you imply) at Maori.

    My judgement is that he as relevent to New Zealand as a Gaelic radical is to Scotland. It's likely that the Gaelic radical is likely to be less bigoted, ignorant and racist.
    It's only when you take the piss out of a partially shaved wookie with an overactive 'me' gene and stapled on piss flaps that it becomes a problem.

    That's not quite what Hone said. And how many on this forum would feel "uncomfortable" (his word) if their daughter brought home a Māori? Honestly ...

    I'm not accusing anyone, but from responses in this forum I suspect many fathers would be uncomfortable if their daughter did bring home a Māori man as a potential partner ...
