Like every parliamentarian Mahuta has declared any conflicting interests in the Register of Pecuniary and Other Specified Interests of Members of Parliament, Nowhere in the video is there any implication that her sister Tipa Mahuta is not qualified for the position.
I think it’s worth highlighting Minister Nanaia Mahuta‘s reply when asked to comment on the piece.
Simply disgraceful, but will her head roll? I somehow doubt it. Arguably, little worse than what Christopher Finlayson got up to in his patently conflicted roles as Treaty Settlements Minister and Attorney General, over a decade ago. Outrageous, scandalous, yes - both of those and more, but until the average New Zealander gets off his/her (and to be 'inclusive')/they's butt and says "ENOUGH!", this type of appalling activity will only continue, The time to act is now, otherwise it will just be more of the same, and New Zealand will only decline (to paraphrase Buzz Lightyear) in... "to tyranny and beyond!"
.
Truly worrying is how far, in a supposedly corruption free country, such a nepotistic 'dynasty' has been allowed to progress in plain sight with its outlandish plans for self-interested co-governance. How overly reliant we've been on a questioning MSM to call out corruption and uphold democracy, which indicates something is seriously screwed with our political system and our civil service that badly needs fixing.
Wait till royalties for water are introduced on the back of the 3 Waters confiscation coming this year. The tribal troughs will be overflowing.
Thanks to the Platform for bringing this into the open. Real investigative journalism.
