Iti gets bail change to star in Europe

Here's some unpolitcal correctness for ya:

We can all be 'one' people when Maori no longer have to justify even the more simple things we do like why we don't sit on tables. When I still have to explain to a non-Maori work mate not to sit on my desk, it indicates how different we will always be.

There are a lot of Maori that are already one with your society. They get drunk, take drugs, beat up their women and children every day. Those are the contemporary values that were handed to them once introduced to pakeha society. Poverty being another. You can hide your head in the sand and deny it but it's typical of most indigenous cultures who now share their land with others.

Don't expect the ones that hold on to their traditions and values to bend so easily. We don't want a different NZ. We just don't want to be like you. We just want to pull our people out of the dark hole your people put them in all those years ago. Hey perhaps you could all be like Maori? Then we would be one society.

Tame Iti? I think its rather amusing he's acting but meh. I predict in the future when the man dies, there will be several documentaries featuring him on every channel. You may think he's an idiot, but he will be remembered by us all..........one way or another.

The problem here is that everyone are throwing their toys out of the sand pit because he's getting 'special treatment'.

lololol complain away, then get back to your knitting.

Well that's great - he is an adept performer, a cultural icon and will be a great ambassador for New Zealand. I am pleased that good sense prevails in this decision...it is not as if he is dangerous and he is not likely to avoid returning - he loves his country and has never shyed away from facing up to the challenges of the law. Go Tame...I hope we get to see the performance here before too long. Barbara

I know what he wants-his own notoriety--nothing more ;nothing less.He thinks he is doing good,but fails to see his own weaknesses!A sad case.

Who's funding this trip overseas to rubbish our way of life, to make the people of New Zealand look bad, to make our system and our Government look evil, to denounce our Sovereignty, to make our Country look bad in the eyes of others, and no doubt to make himself look like some poor downtrodden little innocent thats been taken over by some large entity? I sincerely hope not a Government Dept., but, somehow suspect it. When will all this pathetic rubbish end and the good people of New Zealand stand up and be counted.

Who's paying for this grand trip of his, certainly not him (does he even have a job) he doesn't pay taxes & yet taxes are paying for his trip! What has the government done for you lately, THE TAXPAYER!

To compare Tame to anyone else is to totally overlook his importance . He is the rarest thing ; a living work of art . He is no common thug nor violent loser malcontent. Their actions will live only in the court records ,Tame will ever hold a place in the history of this country. We are a country with few people. We can afford Tame. We need Tame. His actions are mischievous but pointed. Also funny. But provoke thought in those capable of thought. Who always seem to be the harbingers of change . Travel well Tame , ironically you will become to the world the most famous face of both new zealand and aotearoa . You will fill many with pride.

One law for them & another for us!! Some of us can't even leave the country for un-paid fines & he's on bail?? as well as being shouted the trip with our hard earned tax dollars, whats up with that, bloody politics!!!

Who will pay for this trip. hope its not on the tax payer.

Well well well.... Do I detect a hint of Don Brashicsm?

I guess none of you have seen Iti's work or even know him. You were all wrong labeling him a terrorist! And you're all wrong again. He's a good man who stands up for what he believes in.
