🗣 Kia ora to all those taking part in the mega strike āpōpō. ✊🏾Te Pāti Māori stands in solidarity with every union member fighting for fairness, dignity, and pay equity. This government has attacked workers’ rights but in 2026, together we’ll put it right. Kia kaha e te whānau #OneTermGovt #NZPol

🚨🔥📃TAHUNA TE PIRE | Te Pāti Māori does not support the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) (Customary Marine Title) Amendment Bill 1. "No govt in history has ever had the right or authority to extinguish the Tiriti-based rights of Māori. This is literally why treaty settlements exist.” #NZPol

#MACA #Questiontime 🌊 "Does the Prime Minister accept that Māori Customary rights to foreshore and seabed existed before signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and therefore cannot be lawfully granted or extinguished by Crown Legislation?" - Debbie Ngarewa-Packer @whaeadeb.bsky.social #NZPol #NZ #MACA

Hey whanau, How many Co-Leaders does it take to turn an office corridor into a wharekai? Just one… Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, with Oriini Kaipara keeping the kōrero and the ika fresh…. 🐟 @whaeadeb.bsky.social #TePātiMāori #MACA #ParliamentLife #NZPol #BehindTheScenes

Receiving a petition of 19,598 strong signatures from Reuben Taipari against the #MACA amendment bill, a bill that would take us back to the foreshore and seabed days. Enrol to vote, change the trajectory of government for 2026. @whaeadeb.bsky.social #NZPol #TePātiMāori #MACA #VOTE26 #OneTermGovt

Four polls, same story. @foxylustygrover.bsky.social ⬇️⬇️⬇️ The Government is sinking, but the real change won’t come from polls. It will come from people. From movement. From 2026. The Māori vote is decisive. Enrol to vote. #TePātiMāori #NZPol #OneTermGovt

Just a hallway moment, but those are usually the best ones. Between votes, between briefings, between laughs, between whanaungatanga, between wāhine, Co-Leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer and new MP Oriini Kaipara holding it down before the dinner break. @whaeadeb.bsky.social #WāhineInPolitics #NZPol

Stay tuned. Mata interview. TPM reset. #NZPol

#Karakia We always stop mahi to have karakia together before our MPs go into the House. Today, Takuta stands to fight for MACA for our moana, our whakapapa, and the rights guaranteed under Te Tiriti. ❤️🤍🖤 #TePātiMāori #NZPol

Our future is already here. This week, Oriini Kaipara enters Parliament as MP for Tāmaki Makaurau, carrying forward the kaupapa of Takutai Kemp Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke is named in TIME100 Next 2025 Two wāhine toa. One message: Māori leadership is the future #NZPol #WāhineToa #OurFutureIsHere

There’s been a lot in the media today. Here is our response. #NZPol ❤️🤍🖤

Behind the scenes of us celebrating Wiki o te Reo Māori before heading into Question Time ✊🏽💬 The reo lives in here, our voices, our whānau. A quick waiata lesson from @whaeadeb.bsky.social ❤️🤍🖤 #TeWikiOTeReoMāori #ManaMotuhaake #AotearoaHou #NZPol #AoNZ #Maori #ToitūTeReo

Do we care about polls? Not really. What we care about is making this a one-term government. That won’t be decided by pollsters, it’ll be decided by our whānau both Māori and Tangata te Tiriti at the ballot box. Come on 2026 ❤️🤍🖤 #OneTermGovt #NZPol #ManaMotuhake #PartyVote #TPM

🚩During the by-election, we faced predatory media, reporters hiding in bushes, turning up at kura without permission, chasing us in malls & lifts, yelling for interviews, all to manufacture 6pm drama. We won’t compromise whānau safety. Protecting our people comes first @whaeadeb.bsky.social #NZPol

Oriini Kaipara has retained Tāmaki Makaurau for Te Pāti Māori. In six weeks, she stood tall against a veteran MP& proved the strength of mana motuhake, courage, & humility This win belongs to Tāmaki, to every volunteer, & to all who believe in Te Tiriti and the power of our people ❤️🖤🤍 #NZPol

Kia ora e te whānau, We are on the road to Koroneihana, headlights, waiata, and our co-leaders leading the way. Just a Tuesday night. ❤️🤍🖤 Pō mārie #NZPol

Keen for outside pāremata whakaaro? Our Parliament still speaks the language of Westminster, not Aotearoa. When tikanga enters the chamber it’s powerful. What if tikanga shaped the rules themselves? How should Parliament look and feel if it truly reflected Aotearoa? #NZPol #ToitūTeTiriti #AONZ

Last night was an absolute VIBE! The East Tāmaki Activation was buzzing with energy. 🚩 Flag Flying & Pakuranga Night Markets 🍲. Huge mihi to all our whānau who joined us for great kōrero and a catch-up with Oriini, Deb, and Rawiri 🫶 📣 VOTE ORIINI KAIPARA FOR TĀMAKI MAKAURAU ✅️ #NZPol #ToitūTeTiriti

So……How are you tonight, whānau? Are we all out being social butterflies tonight, or are we in our PJs pretending not to hear the dishes calling? Either way, don’t forget there’s one more thing that matters in Tāmaki and that is voting. #NZPol #TāmakiMakaurau #Election2025 #VoteOriini

Coordinated attacks on Māori women in politics are disgusting. We need more diverse representation in politics not paru uncles trying to drag us backwards. We stand with Oriini. We stand with all wāhine Māori. #VoteOriini @whaeadeb.bsky.social #TāmakiMakaurau #Election2025 #NZPol

👀👀 We all know Luxon isn’t exactly Mr. Māori Culture Appreciation… but this? This takes the cake 🎂 Stop cherry-picking our culture like it’s a buffet, Luxon. Hōhā just like your policies!!! 🤦🏾‍♂️🤭😂 @whaeadeb.bsky.social @rawiriwaititimp.bsky.social #NZPol #PōhiriNotPickAndMix #OneTermGovt

One person is killed in Palestine every 12 mins. Luxon wants to wait until Sept to decide on recognising Palestine. We call it moral cowardice. Recognition must happen now with sanctions, consequences, and action to hold Israel accountable for genocide. Every day of delay costs more lives. #NZPol

Culture thrives when we fight for it. Vote for Te Pāti Māori The antidote to culturecide is action: Fund Māori teacher training, not cut it Keep reo-rich books in schools Protect literacy & te reo teaching roles Normalise Māori names in govt Uphold tangata whenua status in ECE Join us ❤️🤍🖤 #NZPol

VOTE ORIINI KAIPARA FOR TĀMAKI MAKAURAU 🗣🗣 "It's a natural progression for me to be a part of Te Pāti Māori; there was no other choice. - Oriini Kaipara. ❤️🤍🖤✊🏾 @whaeadeb.bsky.social @rawiriwaititimp.bsky.social #aotearoa #maori #toitūtetiriti #nzpol #AONZ #tāmakibyelection

Chris Hipkins says it’s “Treasury spin.” Whaea Deb kōrero: the truth. ➡️ Māori were left behind in the COVID response. ➡️ The vaccine rollout was inequitable. ➡️ Government engagement was poor. ➡️ Avoidable harm happened. That’s why Māori had to lead our own response. #nzpol #TeTiriti #COVID19

Two legacy parties. One goal. Stop Te Pāti Māori They agree on one thing Te Pāti Māori threatens their control We are unapologetically Māori. Protective of our whenua, wai & moana. Fighting for pay equity, our rainbow whānau, reo, rights A future where Te Tiriti leads &no one is left behind #NZPol

Bishop: “I’m not endorsing anyone… but I hope Peeni wins.” What backroom deal are they not telling us about? This is exactly why Te Pāti Māori stands apart We don’t owe the old parties anything, we owe our people everything @whaeadeb.bsky.social Vote Oriini. Vote Māori. #NZPol

“What is this Labour and the Nats campaigning together?” Peeni Henare gets a cosy Breakfast TV spot mid by-election next to Chris Bishop. And Bish endorses him on live TV. Thoughts, whānau? #VoteOriini #NZPol #TāmakiMakaurau #ByElection #OldPartiesSameClub #ElectoralRules #FairnessMatters

Māori are being stripped from the roll without knowing. Te Pāti Māori has filed urgent High Court action to stop it. This is voter suppression. This is how they rig elections. We won’t let them. We won’t let them silence Aotearoa. #AoNZ #ManaMokopuna #NZPol #Vote2026 #2TicksTPM

Nurses are striking because unsafe staffing is putting lives at risk. Burnout is rampant. Morale is at an all-time low. Pay our nurses. Staff our wards. Fund our health system. #NZNO #HealthCrisis #StrikeForSafety #PayEquity #NZPol

It’s voter suppression, plain and simple. Banning enrolment 13 days before the election will hit young Māori the hardest, 48% of 18–19 y/o Māori voters enrolled during that window in 2023. They know what they’re doing. Help us end this tyranny #EnrolToVote #NZPol #OneTermGovt

There are people struggling to buy basics, a roof over their heads, and this government funnels money to corporate interests? Shame on you. You lied to us. #DavidSeymour #WinstonPeters #ChristopherLuxon #nzpol

We can never forget: Settler-centric parties show us who they are Cutting funding to those on the frontlines, While kids go hungry & sleep on couches. Charities are drowning. Whānau are breaking. This is the worst poverty since 2008 & it’s political. #NZPol #CostOfLivingCrisis #PovertyIsViolence

Just bin it. $60 million a year just to review laws that’s what the Ministry says the Regulatory Standards Bill could cost. While services that serve people are being cut, this government’s pouring money into a law that protects corporate interests. Bin it. #NZPol #AoNZ #RSB #KillTheBill

#KARAKIA Sometimes the most powerful moments in Parliament happen in the hallways.Before the debates, the votes, the speeches….this is us. We come together. ❤️🤍🖤 #NZPol

This wasn’t on the agenda for our hui: Debbie: “Shift it left.” Rawiri: “Your left or my left?” There’s left, then there’s co-leader left a whole different direction. #NZPol #DIY #TePātiMāori

Do you need a reason to get out and back our healthcare workers? More than 12,000 nurses have left Aotearoa in the past year. Over 19,000 NZ-trained nurses have moved to Australia in just two years. They’re not leaving for fun. They’re leaving because successive governments have failed them. #NZPol

From Hoani Waititi to the House Oriini Kaipara is standing for Tāmaki Makaurau. A fearless Māori voice, raised in kaupapa, ready to fight for housing, whenua and our whānau. #TPM #OriiniKaipara #ByElection2025 #NZPol
