I bet Chris Hipkins is having a great day today.

The son sounds like an absolute prick, tailgating through a gate then verbally abusing a guard when pulled up on it. I’d also like to know what exactly he was doing while on the payroll.

    The son does seem to have a lot of political skill and experience, being the leader of an organisation such as Toi Te Tiriti, so it’s entirely possible he was legitimately working.

    But yeah, not a good look at all.

      The article helpfully left that detail out… which kind of makes it smell a bit like a hit-piece.

      Iwi are relatively small too, so everyone is somebody’s son/aunt/cousin… so finding someone within one’s iwi to do a job is always going to be a relative.
