- Description
Maori Party MPs are shown as a pile of turtles, one on top of the other with renegade Hone Harawira at the bottom. Hone is squashed on a rock in the middle of a pond while on top of him are piled MP Te Ururoa Flavell, co-leaders Tariana Turia and Pita Sharples and at the top MP Rahui Katene. Hone Harawira chants a rhyme 'apologies to Seuss' that goes 'Then again from below, in the great Maori party, Came a groan from that pain a little turtle named Hone. Your majesty, please... I don't like to complain, But down here below, we are feeling great pain.' Context - criticisms of Maori Party policy and thinking by Hone Harawira about his belief that the Maori Party was selling out to its coalition with the government and is neglecting the needs of poor and unemployed Maori, has led to a complaint being laid against him by fellow Maori Party MP Te Ururoa Flavell. This means an investigation that could lead to expulsion for Hone or some sort of conciliation. Here the Maori Party is trying to silence him.
