The steady stream of revisionist gibberish coming out of Māori Party rhetoric these days is eye-watering. They never miss an opportunity to bamboozle ordinary folks with silly word salads, half of which are spoken in a tongue only 4% of New Zealanders can even understand. Take this for example: In a recent interview with Jack…
