Te Pāti Māori boycotts NZ Herald over Hobson’s Pledge ad

Te Pati Maori - NZ Herald news

Te Pāti Māori has announced a boycott of legacy media outlet the New Zealand Herald following the newspaper’s decision to run a front-page advertisement for Hobson’s Pledge, a lobby group led by Don Brash.

The party has called for an apology, a review of standards, and plans to lodge a complaint with the Broadcasting Standards Authority. The advert, which appeared on August 7, advocated for the restoration of the foreshore and seabed to public ownership, a stance aligned with Hobson’s Pledge’s commitment to preserving equal rights for all New Zealanders.

Hobson’s Pledge is a group known for its advocacy of equality under the law and freedom of speech, while Te Pāti Māori have levelled accusations of the Herald being “bought off” by an “anti-Māori collective.”

  1. Restoring the foreshore and seabed to public ownership is now anti…….so who owns it now please? Do we have proof of ownership? Does the same owner also own the Earth

  2. So given TPM receive it’s money from the taxpayer and given that it’s intent is tribal rule visa a vie brown elite, I personally couldn’t give a rats fat if they boycott herald, parliament or indeed anything. This might be the first democratic move by the herald in several years. It’s not nearly enough to make me visit nzheralds treacherous propaganda channel but man, they must be on deaths doorstep to take money from a free speech advocate like Hobson’s Pledge. This is saying to the Editor: when corrupt brownies get back into power (legally or otherwise) utu will be served upon you.

  3. Best news all day! It gave me great pleasure to see an article by Debbie forgot my Irish mother Packer and to scrunch it up and use it to start my fire!

    And no people I didn’t buy the herald – got it from my elderly parents for the specific purpose of starting my fire. Might actually buy it if they stop publishing stupid opinion articles from activists like the divisive Packer and her ilk.

  4. So ensuring everyone in New Zealand has ownership over our natural assets is somehow anti Maori? Is that all Maori or a select group, I wonder?

  5. Would TPM agree to a referendum on the name of our country – New Zealand or Aotearoa?
    And another refererdum on the question: should all citizens of this country have equal rights, regardless of ancestry?
    Their responses could be revealing.

  6. Pursuing “equal rights for all New Zealanders” Is literally the opposite of racism. TPM are abject idiots.

    • You are 💯% correct tea party Maori only represent a small minority of a racist group of radicals, They do not represent Maori . Potentially they are aligned with Hitler’s idealism of a master race, but fail to acknowledge their own mixed DNA.

  7. I always suspected that The NZ Herald were a bunch of racists.

    Now it’s official according to Te Pāti Māori, who are of course also a bunch of racists.

    Perfect woke symmetry.

  8. Jesus I just wept buckets after reading some stories about abuse in ‘care’…let’s give all that a chance to sink in before going any where 🧐else

  9. What do you do? Start buying the Herald again? I’ll just sit this one out. Let the woke eat itself.

    Looking forward to going to the beach this summer! Maybe I’ll go fishing too!

  10. Would it suprise anyone to know that a groomerican corporation has hand on hobsons pledge, act, national, rcr, nz first, counterspin, voices for freedom etc.
    THE ATLAS NETWORK.
    Pushing groomerican corporate satanism.
    Counterspin presently attacking Liz Gunn.
    RCR rubbished the data drop.
    Hobsons edge stirring racial hatred.
    Act national nzfirst all one entity.
    Our governance has been sold.
    If we want our country we will have to take it.

  11. NZ Heald are run by cowards! They have now cancelled the next lot of adverts Hobson Choice have organised re the foreshore and special privileges for Maori, also the adverts in stuff owned provincial papers. Who are these people who allow themselves to be threatened by a small bunch of radical hypocrites who shouldn’t even be in a democratically elected parliament. Goodbye NZ Herald and stuff Stuff.
