The Leader of the Opposition doesn't understand our Māori world. In his own words, he doesn't see our world. The real weakness in politics, in my humble view, is ignorance. The Opposition would have never and would never deliver a Budget for Māori like the one we have delivered in 2020. When leaders admit that they don't see someone's culture, when they don't value the Māori contribution, they are admitting that they are blind to our achievements and deaf to our concerns. Their assessment of what effectiveness is, what strength is, is based on succeeding in a world that we as Māori do not live in.
