1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: TJ. Piranara got the headlines on the Harker connection to 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: last week's protest, of course, had the backing of the 3 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: team management and officials. Marie All Blacks cultural advisor to 4 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: where he writes is with us, good morning to you, 5 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: good morning. You're getting into tricky territory here. Are you 6 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 1: completely comfortable with this? 7 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,080 Speaker 2: I'm completely comfortable with I think it's on the surface 8 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 2: it seems tricky, but I think there's a real good 9 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 2: story of unity here. 10 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: So on death Share, when you say unity, unity for who. 11 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 2: I think, well, it's it's probably it's a good Christian start. 12 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 2: I think unity for an under here's a ground. So 13 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 2: I think of emerging communities, both Maori and non Maori, 14 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 2: that are really working hard to try and showcase. I 15 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 2: think the beautiful country that's truly reflective of our unique 16 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 2: cultural identity, which is no longer exclusively Maori, but it 17 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: is uniquely So I think that's what I'm I'm talking about, 18 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 2: and our refuge to unity. 19 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: So is that the role of an All Black ahead 20 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: of a Test match or not? 21 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 2: I think it's a responsibility for all citizens of altad 22 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 2: Wall to keep pushing where they can. That notion of unity. 23 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 2: I mean context is always going to be debated, I think, 24 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 2: and the appropriateness I think of any political stance or 25 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 2: any stance in particular, regardless of the stage. But I 26 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 2: do think there is still a huge responsibility or on 27 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 2: us as citizens of New Zealand to keep pushing where 28 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 2: we can that notion of unity. 29 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: But when you say unity tenoring a terror tung, it 30 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: is self determination, which is not unity. It's your own 31 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 1: course and way, isn't it. 32 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 2: I think if you're pointing into the individualistic perception of 33 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 2: anger tuatang, which is something that we're seen perpetuated when 34 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 2: it comes to the Treaty Principles Bill. I mean it 35 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 2: can be easily read like that, but I think you know, 36 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 2: rang tang has to be seen the context of the collective. 37 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 2: And I think when we're moving into that kind of 38 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 2: notion we're saying, it's almost as if you're saying it's 39 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 2: either unity or to as this they can't sit together. 40 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 2: And I think that's probably where the context of this 41 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 2: stem becomes really important, because it's about showcasing the beauty 42 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 2: of both of all the cultures, but particularly the two 43 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 2: main parties. To tender to your white thing and how 44 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 2: we connect you work together to shape unity, residing in 45 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 2: MARII as a collective approach to determination, but also we 46 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: can still exist together. And how many and alta are right. 47 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: I appreciate it Tim very much to where he right. 48 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: Who's lawyer consultant, Murray all Black circultural advisor. But of 49 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 1: course when we talk about that, as we did, and 50 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: I'm more than happy to talk about it, we're not 51 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: talking about the game. And in that I think lie 52 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 1: is probably part of the problem, isn't it. Good Morning 53 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: Mike TJ might think he's clever pushing his own narrative 54 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: during the all Blacks Harker, but don't hinder risk underestimate 55 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: the damage he's done to the brain with the average 56 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: New Zealand or the ab should never never be used 57 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: to push per political beliefs.
